“Oh? Junior Brother Lu, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that the realm of cultivation can be fake?
The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked puzzled.
“The cultivation levels are naturally not fake, but they are both in the middle stage of foundation building, so the difference between them is not small.”
Lu Xuan shook his head gently.
“Senior Brother Yang should know me well. He works with Lingzhi every day and rarely leaves the sect, let alone adventures to explore secret realms and hunt evil beasts.”
Yang Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
He has known Lu Xuan for many years, and the scenes when they met were all related to spiritual plants and spiritual beasts. He occasionally invited Lu Xuan to explore a secret place, but he politely declined.
All we know is that Lu Xuan is extremely accomplished in spiritual cultivation, and is no weaker than those mid- to late-stage foundation-builders and even true disciples in the sect.
“I have some talent in cultivating spiritual plants, and I love this skill very much. I have also earned a lot of spiritual stones and sword seals over the years.”
“However, most of the spirit stone sword seals I earned were used to exchange for elixirs to enhance my spiritual power. There is not much left.”
“By constantly swallowing various pills and practicing hard, I was able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.”
“However, this method has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the cultivation level can be improved faster. The disadvantage is that I have not mastered a few decent techniques and I don’t have a better magic weapon or talisman in my hand. That’s why I say that I have no time to cultivate. for.”
“If we encounter a monk in the early stage of foundation building, he may not be his opponent.”
Lu Xuan’s face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he made up a quite reasonable excuse for himself.
“If you are not good at fighting, you can only rely on your cultivation level to suppress your opponent.”
The middle-aged Confucian scholar thought for a while and finally said tactfully.
“So this is because I don’t explore much. It all depends on my own self-knowledge.”
“However, it’s good to be able to stay in the sect all the time. I’m very satisfied if I can have a stable environment to cultivate spiritual plants.”
“After breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, the spiritual liquid in the Dantian has increased a lot, which can be used to cultivate higher-grade and larger spiritual plants.”
Lu Xuan smiled.
Yang Qingfeng regarded his smile as a helpless smile and comforted him:
“Indeed, no matter how many outer disciples there are in the sect, they cannot break through to the foundation building realm. After being promoted by luck, there are also a lot of inner sect disciples who have been stuck in the early stage of foundation building. Junior Brother Lu can go further and break through to the middle stage of foundation building. More than many of my peers.”
“No matter what method you use to break through, the spiritual power you cultivate is real. If you practice magic in the future, it will be much easier to compete for treasures.”
“Haha, let’s talk about the future things later. Maybe one day I will be lucky and get many opportunities.”
“Senior brother, take me to see those black-scaled dragons.”
Lu Xuan suggested.
The two came to the edge of the island, and Yang Qingfeng summoned the Black Scale Jiao family playing in the distance.
Lu Xuan looked at the happy Mo Linjiao family with an inexplicable smile on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the red thread needle, a sharp blood-drawing tool, from the storage bag. With a thought, a small red light instantly penetrated into the relaxed ink-scaled dragon’s abdomen.
“This hybrid hybrid ink-scaled dragon is indeed an extraordinary sight.”
When drawing blood from the black-scaled dragon mixed with the blood of the Qingmiao Chi Dragon, Lu Xuan noticed something extraordinary about it.
As the black-scaled dragon continues to grow, the mysterious chi dragon origin contained in the body gradually awakens, causing the black-scaled dragon to be surrounded by a faint aura of pure spirit. If any evil and filthy thing comes close, it may be attracted by it. Direct purification.
“Such good blood must be put to good use. After a certain period of time, it can be used to cultivate fifth-grade blood evil flowers.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself that the jade bottle that received the dragon’s essence and blood stayed for a few more breaths, thus drawing an extra half bottle of blood.
This amount of essence and blood is nothing to the huge alien black scale dragon, and Yang Qingfeng on the side did not notice Lu Xuan’s small movement.
Back in the cave, just when he was about to activate the streamer talisman array, Lu Xuan made a move.
A strange-looking insect floated in front of him.
The strange insect was short and thick, with a huge pupil occupying most of the volume on its head, looking at Lu Xuan without blinking.
In less than half a moment, two figures came together.
One person has an extraordinary temperament, with one black eye and one white eye. The other person is wearing a robe made of countless slender insects. He looks a bit dull and taciturn in appearance.
It was the two true disciples that Lu Xuan knew, Ge Pu who raised Yin and Yang Kun fish, and Zhong Jingshan who was good at controlling insects.
“Junior Brother Lu, I left you a communication talisman. If I didn’t hear the news, I asked Junior Brother Zhong to leave an informant outside your cave. When you come back, the two of us will know immediately.”
Ge Pu introduced the ins and outs of the previous scene to Lu Xuan.
“Two senior brothers, please come in and explain.”
Lu Xuan welcomed the two into the cave and served spiritual fruit and spiritual tea.
Zhong Jingshan looked around, expressionless.
Lu Xuan knew in his heart that he was searching for the poisonous heart-eating worm with a special constitution. With a thought, the larvae suddenly came out and came to Lu Xuan’s feet.
It seemed to smell something, turned its head and sniffed in the direction of Zhongjing Mountain, and still stayed at Lu Xuan’s feet.
The two of them had raised it for about the same amount of time, but here with Lu Xuan, it could easily deal with the poison immediately after taking it, which was much more comfortable than when it stayed in Worm Valley.
“Senior Brother Zhong, this larva is living well at my place, and there are no more life-threatening situations.”
Lu Xuan took the initiative to explain that he was not worried that Zhong Jingshan would take the larvae back again.
As expected, Zhong Jingshan nodded, expressing his relief.
“You took good care of me.”
He probably knew that the poisonous heart-eating worm larvae had a special constitution, but under various adverse reactions, he had no way to keep the larvae alive for a long time, so he could only give it to Lu Xuan, using it as a living doctor.
Now, seeing that the larvae are alive and well, I feel relieved and have no other thoughts.
“Junior Brother Lu, the spiritual syrup you brew has a really unique taste. I will have to ask you for a pot later.”
Ge Pu took a sip of Baiguo Lingjiang and praised it.
“Both senior brothers will bring back a pot of Baiguo spirit syrup later. I still have some here.”
Lu Xuan said quickly.
Ge Pu thanked him, looked straight, and took out a spiritual plant from his storage bag.
The shape of the spiritual plant is extremely weird. The roots of different lengths are wriggling like limbs. There are large and small cracks on the trunk, and the edges of the cracks are sharp saws. The extended branches and leaves are constantly waving in the air, trying to penetrate the tree that Ge Pu has laid casually. The spiritual energy barrier slapped him hard.
“Junior brother Lu, you are good at spiritual plants. What do you think of this spiritual plant?”
He asked Lu Xuan while holding the weird spiritual plant.
“It’s a bit weird. It has extremely strong vitality and is so aggressive. It seems like it’s not a spiritual plant, but a monster.”
Lu Xuan frowned and said slowly.
