Chapter 210 – The Beast That Will Die
Chapter 210 – The Beast That Will Die
“By invoking this hair with spiritual energy, you can be summoned here at top speed?”
Lu Xuan’s mind coalesced around the White Ape, learning that this silver-white hair it had sent out was extraordinary, and that under the priming of spiritual energy, the White Jade Prime Ape that was within a certain range would be able to sense it in the first instance, and would come over to Lu Xuan’s aid at the fastest speed possible.
“Many thanks for sending me such a great gift.”
Lu Xuan touched the White Ape’s head, and a cool, hard touch came from his fingers.
He was clear that the extremely shy and coy looking White Jade Prime Ape in front of him, but in reality, he revered violence and was ferocious and combative, and sending himself millimeters had a certain amount of friendship in it, but more than that, he wanted to have a good fight himself.
The Jade White Luan Bird also came over, chirping crisply towards Lu Xuan, promising that if Lu Xuan encountered any problems, he would be the first to come over to help, while also inviting him to be a guest in the secret realm where the Protector Spirit Beast was located.
“Good, I’ll definitely come when I have the chance.”
Lu Xuan also had a few moments of curiosity about the places where the high-grade demonic beasts in the sect lived, and promised the Xuan Tian White Luan.
The two spirit beasts didn’t stop for much longer, one transformed into an illusory point of light and directly passed through the Rune Formation, while the other transformed into a white stream of light and took the lead in rushing out before the Rune Formation could be completely galvanized.
It was already late in the day, Lu Xuan tidied up the courtyard and meditated and practiced for an hour.
Under the operation of the Great Five Elements Technique, the pure spiritual qi within the mountain peak continued to pour in, integrating into Lu Xuan’s dantian.
“Cultivating, and then again, it seems like I haven’t.”
He felt the Spiritual Liquid pooled in his dantian, and there was no change, thus, he gained a further understanding of his own talent.
The next morning, he woke up early and made a tour of the spirit field, and after carefully inspecting and tending to all the spirit plants, he found a spirit crane outside the mountain peak and flew to the Hall of Concubine Affairs.
In front of the Concierge Hall.
After a period of time, it was still bustling with activity, with many fellow qi practitioners coming in and out.
Lu Xuan entered the hall and came behind the light screen, finding one of the deacons of the Concourse Hall and laying down two tasks.
One was to collect the pupils of demonic beasts’ eyes for the growth needs of the Hundred Pupil Guile Wood.
The growth conditions of the fourth-grade spiritual plants were much harsher, and the eye pupils he had collected from his previous mission were not enough for a while, even with the newly laid down fourth-grade Giant Scorpion Six Eyes, it could only fulfill the needs of a few eye pupils on the trunk.
He wrote down the detailed rewards of the quest based on the grade, rarity, and strange abilities of the demonic beast’s eye pupils.
Subsequently, another task was issued to collect various insectoid larvae and eggs, the insectoids should preferably be of the molting and shedding type in order to grow together with the Xuan Insect Vine.
The three types of insect chambers on the Xuan Insect Vine – Cryptic Winged Cicada, Black Beetle, and Silver Threaded Praying Mantis – gradually grew in strength as the plant continued to grow, and could not satisfy the Xuan Insect Vine’s normal growth needs very well.
The Thorn Bone no longer had to worry after obtaining the skeleton of the Six-Eyed Red Iron Scorpion of the Fourth Grade.
As for the Sacred Infant Fruit, Lu Xuan wouldn’t dare to set up a mission to collect the essence blood, souls, and grievances of infants within the sect.
If he really went ahead and tried it, even if the deacon of the Concourse Hall reviewed and approved it, it would draw the attention of the clan’s high-ranking cultivators in the first place.
After laying down the task, Lu Xuan circled out from behind the light screen and came into the hall.
Wherever he passed, the Qi Practicing Cultivators he saw greeted Lu Xuan with respect, Lu Xuan wore a smile and nodded his head in return.
Due to the fact that he had been staying in the sect cultivating spirit plants and raising spirit beasts, he rarely dealt with other fellow disciples, let alone exploring the secret realm and seeking opportunities together.
As a result, the number of cultivators he had known in the two or three years of Qi Practicing Stage was very small, and there were only a few that he had some friendship with.
As they made their way to the light screen, a familiar handwriting floated by on the huge screen, and many cultivators gazed intently, picking out the mission of their choice that suited them.
When Lu Xuan saw this, he couldn’t help but feel some emotion. After entering the sect, he had frequently come into the Hall of Concupiscence and had taken on quite a few quests related to spiritual plants and beasts, earning quite a few Spirit Stones, Sword Seals.
Among the spiritual plants planted in the spiritual fields, there were several that were obtained as a result, laying a good foundation for his farming career in the Sect.
“Unfortunately, now that I’ve advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm, it’s not good for me to grab missions with fellow Qi Practitioners as a Senior Uncle, otherwise, where would you be able to take your turn.”
Lu Xuan sneered in the bottom of his heart, there were occasional Spirit Planting tasks on the light screen, but if he were to use his identity as an inner disciple of the Foundation Establishment Stage to receive the tasks set by his fellow Qi Practitioners, it would be a bit unseemly to spread the word, so he could only give it up helplessly.
Fortunately, after becoming an inner disciple, in addition to the great benefits when he had just broken through the realm, the sect would also send down a monthly amount of sword seals to him, and at the same time, after entering the Hall of Swords, he would also receive a fixed amount of sword seals every month.
Even if he didn’t go on quests, he could still get over a hundred sword seals per month, so it could be considered a generous reward.
Lu Xuan reminisced about the great days of the past, came outside the Hall of Concubine Affairs, called out to a Spirit Crane, and shot straight up into the clouds.
When he was about to arrive at the peak of the mountain he was on, suddenly, an ethereal and distant sound of a deer came from his ears.
When the spirit crane underneath heard it, it unconsciously slowed down, and the aura in its body quietly came alive for a few minutes.
A few breaths later, a two-foot-tall giant deer stepped into the air from afar, and where its hooves landed, a layer of green ripples swept up.
Where the ripples passed through, the spiritual plants grew crazily, revealing powerful vitality.
“That old deer equivalent to the JieDan realm.”
Lu Xuan had seen this giant deer once before, named Qing Xuan Deer, a fifth-grade spirit beast, rumored to have been raised by a deceased JieDan cultivator in the sect, and had been guarding the sect for many years.
Compared to the last time he encountered it, the state of the Qing Xuan Deer seemed to be a little worse.
The pair of white jade antlers on the top of its head had dimmed a lot, and was vaguely grayish in color.
The locks of hair on its body were like weeds, dry and slender, revealing a faint aura of death.
The exuberant vitality that the giant deer brought up along the way, compared to its own broken and dead body, appeared extremely contradictory, forming a strong contrast.
The giant deer quickly passed by Lu Xuan’s side, its silhouette disappearing into the sky, with only a distant chirping sound coming from the distant sky.
Even if Lu Xuan hadn’t raised the giant deer, he could still hear a strong sense of longing in its voice.
He sighed softly and let the Spirit Crane carry him back to the mountain peak.
A world full of greenery, as far as the eye could see, countless tall spirit trees and thick long vines covered everything around them, and the entire area was filled with a rich and clear spiritual aura.
The Green Xuan Deer that Lu Xuan had seen earlier was lying breathlessly in a giant net automatically woven by vines.
“This Qing Xuan Deer’s physical state is getting worse and worse.”
A middle-aged cultivator wearing a green robe with four long eyes stood high in the air, expressionless as he looked down at the giant deer below.
“Its lifespan is depleted and its end is near, it’s time to prepare its afterlife.”
Beside the middle-aged cultivator, a handsome young man said indifferently, from time to time there are sword qi shadows swimming around the young man’s body, the shadows change in thousands of ways, showing the forms of all kinds of exotic beasts and strange insects.
“The obsession is too deep, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause unfavorable effects.”
The middle-aged cultivator’s four eyes opened steeply, all things flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said indifferently.
