Chapter 238 Sleepy give pillow
Lu Xuan was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the bearded monk's expression, and he became vigilant in his heart.
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. Maybe this fellow came here because he really heard about Lu Xuan's needs, so he came here sincerely to invite him, but it may also be that the three people in Fudi set up a plan.
After all, they knew very well that they had poinciana on their bodies, so they realized their urgent need for the third-grade strange fire, and planned to lure themselves into it, so as to regain the ancient poinciana.
Thinking of this, he became more determined in his inner thoughts, allowing the bearded monk to speak eloquently, shaking his head and refusing.
"Since Junior Brother Lu is determined not to go, then I won't force it."
At the end, seeing that Lu Xuan refused to enter, the bearded monk said helplessly.
"Thank you for your kindness, brother. It's just that I really spent too much time on spiritual planting, my brother. I wasted my practice, and I was powerless, so as not to drag my brother back."
Lu Xuan changed the topic.
"However, if Brother Fan obtains the third-grade strange fire from the secret realm, you can transfer it to me, and I will pay a slightly higher price than usual."
He said with a smile, he still did not forget to make an advertisement before parting.
"...Okay, I will definitely pay more attention to you, Junior Brother Lu."
The bearded monk was momentarily at a loss for words, so he left without stopping.
Lu Xuan just mentioned it casually, and didn't put all his hopes of getting the third-grade strange fire on this senior brother Fan who came here for no reason.
He activated the formation, came to the foot of the mountain, and stimulated a small magic weapon sent by Yu Beast Hall with spiritual power, and soon, a tall crane flew from a distance.
Ling He saw Lu Xuan from a distance, and immediately let out a cry of joy, his speed increased a bit instantly, and landed in front of Lu Xuan in two or three breaths.
The entire spirit crane group has always remembered the figure of Lu Xuan. Even after a long time, he still has the qualification to ride the spirit crane for free.
Lu Xuan touched the pure white feathers on the spirit crane's head, took out a red spirit fruit, and stuffed it into the spirit crane's mouth.
Immediately, he jumped onto Linghe's back.
"General Affairs Hall."
In the wide hall of the General Affairs Hall, many outer disciples gather here at any time to issue and receive various types of tasks.
"This fellow Taoist, I want to assign a task."
Lu Xuan turned into the inner hall of the general affairs hall, and said to a middle-aged steward.
"Hi Uncle Master."
The steward was practicing Qi at the ninth level, looked up at Lu Xuan, and saw that he was wearing a special robe made by inner sect disciples. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he bowed his head and said respectfully.
He was surprised at the youthfulness of Lu Xuan's face.
"I don't know what task the uncle wants to assign?"
He adjusted quickly, and with a warm smile on his face, he asked Lu Xuan.
"The task content is to collect three or more strange fires. If you are rewarded, at least one hundred sword marks, depending on the level and quantity of the fire."
"Third-rank and above strange fire... Forgive my nephew to say bluntly, the task requirements of the uncle are a bit high, and it may be difficult for outer disciples to complete."
"Oh? How do you say it?"
"First of all, third-rank strange fires are not as common as third-rank monsters. This kind of heaven, material and earth treasures have complicated breeding conditions and are extremely difficult to find."
"Secondly, the main recipients of the task are outer disciples, and the possibility of them getting the third-grade strange fire in the Qi training stage is very slim.
As for inner disciples, they usually don’t have to worry about spirit stones and sword seals, so there are very few inner disciples who come to Shuwutang to accept tasks. "
Lu Xuan nodded, hesitated, and said.
"Let's hang on to this task first, maybe there will be a fellow who can complete it."
Anyway, it only takes three spirit stones to hang on the light curtain for a period of time, so Lu Xuan finally chose to release this task.
He came out of the inner hall, and when he passed the light curtain of the main hall, he glanced at it.
The types of missions on the light curtain remain unchanged. They mainly focus on exploring secret realms, tracking and killing evil spirits, and occasionally have content about refining tools and alchemy, but there are very few about spiritual plants and beasts.
Occasionally one of them popped up, and only a few outer disciples were interested.
Seeing this familiar scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, recalling his previous experience of sweeping all kinds of spiritual plants and beasts on the light screen.
It is also through this that he has acquired a large number of spiritual seeds and cultivation resources, met many powerful monks, and laid the foundation for breaking through to the foundation-building realm.
"It's a pity that I have become an inner disciple now, so it's not easy to compete with those nephews from the outer sect for tasks, otherwise I have to remind them of the fear of being dominated by the spiritual beast."
Feeling emotional, he left Shuwutang silently.
High above the sky, there was a strong wind, and Lu Xuanan sat on Linghe's back, thinking about how to obtain the third-grade strange fire.
"It is indeed a bit slim to issue a mission. Maybe you can get the strange fire by exchanging treasures."
"As for going out in person and exploring the secret realm?"
"I will never explore the secret realm in this life, and I will not fight with others. I can only grow spiritual plants and maintain the appearance of practicing."
After making a decision, Lu Xuan returned to the cave, paying attention to the recent treasure exchange meeting among inner disciples.
Time flies by, and half a month passes in a blink of an eye.
As usual, he inspected the spiritual field and checked the growth status of each spiritual plant.
Under careful cultivation, all the spiritual plants grow very well.
Coming outside the branch of Earth Fire, he walked in front of the second grade flame fruit tree.
Among the light red leaves, there are more than a dozen flame fruits looming, half covered.
Looking from below, it looks like clusters of burning flames, exuding an amazing aura of fire spirit.
"Hey, I'm finally mature."
Lu Xuan inspected them one by one, and found that the progress bar under one of the flame fruits was completely full.
A thin layer of flames emerged from his palm, his body floated up, and he carefully took off the flame fruit.
"High quality, yes, the growth environment of the inner sect's spiritual plants is far better than that of the outer sect. It is easy to get high-quality spiritual fruits and plants by planting second-grade spiritual plants."
The flame fruit is soft to the touch, and when you pinch it lightly, the shape of the pulp changes immediately. Holding it in your hand, it looks like a flowing flame.
Lu Xuan concentrated his mind and quickly learned the details of the spiritual fruit.
【Flame fruit, a second-grade spiritual fruit, contains rich fire spiritual power and has an excellent taste. After eating, it can increase the spiritual power in the monk's body, and it can also be used as a material for refining some spiritual wines and spirits. 】
He digested the information that appeared in his mind, reached out and gently touched the white light cluster that appeared at the position of the flame fruit.
The ball of light turned into countless tiny light spots, and instantly poured into Lu Xuan's body.
【Harvest the second-grade flame fruit, and get the third-grade different fire red lotus flame. 】
"Did you send me a pillow just after falling asleep?"
Lu Xuan's heart was full of surprises, and he carefully looked at a strange flame that appeared in his hand.
The flame has distinct layers, like a quietly burning lotus flower. The flame of the outermost lotus petals is bright yellow, gradually deepening, it turns into fiery red, occupying most of the area of the lotus flame, and wrapping the most central strand of flame layer by layer. Pure white flame.
