Chapter 632: Snow Barrier, Ice Jade Lotus, Five-Colored Earth
In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged monk with a gentle and jade-like temperament entered the cave, followed by a tall red-eyed old man. It was the Mu Taoist who asked Lu Xuan to cultivate the Skeleton Demon Temple in the Star Reaching Tower.
“I’ve met Senior Yan, fellow Taoist Mu.”
Lu Xuanfei stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
“Friend Lu Dao, you don’t have to be so polite.”
“When I learned that you were promoted to Dan Dan, I happened to be near Tianxing Cave, so I brought Little Friend Mu over to your cave to join in the fun.”
Yan Jiuan said gently with a smile on his lips.
“Congratulations to Senior Lu for being promoted to Dan Dan!”
Behind him, Mu Taoren, who had met several times before, said to Lu Xuan with a complicated expression.
He has been in the foundation-building consummation for many years. During this period, he tried several times to break through the elixir formation but failed. Fortunately, he had elders in his family to protect him, so he was safe and sound.
Therefore, he naturally knows how difficult it is to break through the core. As long as there is a slight flaw in the spiritual power, body, soul, etc., it is very likely to fail.
After learning that Lu Xuan was promoted to Dan Ji, he felt incredible at first, then became 70% envy, 30% joy, and mixed emotions.
"Fellow Taoist Mu doesn't need to be so outspoken. You and I can just continue to call you Taoist friends."
Lu Xuan had a good impression of this fellow Mu Daoist and said with a smile.
The three of them came to the small courtyard.
“I’ve met fellow Daoist Yan.”
Qi Wuhengxing envoy took the lead to greet him and greeted the Wenrun middle-aged man.
“Fellow Daoist Qi, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Yan Jiuan nodded. As one of the top executives of the Hailou Chamber of Commerce, he was naturally quite familiar with the Star Envoys of Thunder Star Cave.
“Fellow Daoist Lu once cured a spiritual beast that has been with me for many years. After I learned that he was promoted to pill formation, I came over to congratulate him.”
"I see."
Yan Jiuan clasped his fists towards everyone.
“Fellow Taoist Lu is now a guest of the Hailou Merchant Association. I would like to ask all fellow Taoists to take good care of me in the future.”
“You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Yan, and this is what you should do.”
“Look out for each other, look out for each other.”
Everyone suddenly realized that the role of guest minister of the Hailou Chamber of Commerce is not something that ordinary monks can do. Even if you are in the late stage of pill formation, if there is no place that attracts the Chamber of Commerce, you will not be able to hold the position of guest minister.
As for Lu Xuan, it seems that he had already become a guest minister of the Chamber of Commerce before he was promoted to Jiedan...
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little unbelievable.
“What is it about this fellow Daoist Lu that attracts the Chamber of Commerce? Could it be his identity as a spiritual planter?”
The monks present all felt that the value of these three words had suddenly increased a lot.
Is it too late to plant spiritual plants now?
“You Daoyou Yan and Daoyou Qi are so complimentary. I only have some attainments in Lingzhi, and it just so happens that they can solve a few related small things, so I became acquainted with these two Taoist friends.”
“As the saying goes, there are specialties in the arts. All Taoist friends must be good at many more things than me. As long as you truly love it, the way of heaven will definitely live up to your hard work.”
Lu Xuan explained modestly and took a big mouthful of chicken soup along the way.
Everyone suddenly became enlightened.
“You are good at spiritual cultivation, maybe you are not as good as me at refining elixirs and weapons?”
"I'm wasting my time on cultivation, huddled in the cave all day long. I don't think I have as many treasures on my body, right? Isn't my ability to fight magic and magical powers as good as mine?" Thinking of this, several pill-forming monks suddenly felt more balanced.
Lu Xuan warmly entertained Qi Wuheng and Yan Jiu'an who had just entered the cave.
Yan Jiuan looked at the various spiritual plants growing well all over the mountains and plains with a somewhat satisfied look in his eyes.
After Qi Ling pointed out Lu Xuan's extraordinary attainments in spiritual planting, he and the others decided to invite Lu Xuan to serve as the guest minister of the Chamber of Commerce.
Allowing a foundation-building monk to become a guest minister of the Chamber of Commerce was an unusual move. It was opposed by many people in the Chamber of Commerce. He fought against all the objections and was finally able to implement this move.
Unexpectedly, not long after becoming a guest, Lu Xuan was promoted to the realm of Dan Jie, which made his previous decision extremely wise.
Everyone was tasting the spirit fruit pulp. When the wine was full, Qi Wuheng stood up and said to Lu Xuan:
“Fellow Daoist Lu, congratulations on your promotion to Danjie. It’s not a small gesture, but it’s disrespectful. Please accept it with a smile.”
A brilliant and dazzling spiritual seed appeared in front of him.
The spirit seed is the size of a fist, as crystal clear as jade, and seems to be wrapped in countless thin layers of jade. There is a milky white aura around it, and the coldness can be felt from a distance.
“The spiritual plant is called Snow Barrier Ice Jade Lotus, fifth grade, the best ice spiritual plant. I hope fellow Lu Daoist can successfully cultivate it.”
“This… is too expensive.”
Lu Xuan said, but couldn't take his eyes away from the surface of the spirit seed.
Every fifth-grade spiritual plant is hard-earned. Even if there are more than ten kinds of fifth-grade spiritual plants in his spiritual field, when he sees a new one, he still just wants to keep it for himself.
“The spiritual beast that Friend Lu Dao healed has been with me since I was still practicing Qi. He has saved me in danger several times. We have a deep affection for each other.”
“You have done me such a big favor. When a Taoist friend is very happy, it is nothing to give him a spiritual seed.”
Qi Wuheng said with a smile, and because he was a little higher than Lu Xuan, who had just been promoted to Dan Ji, he forcibly sent the spiritual seed in front of Lu Xuan.
“That would be disrespectful to me.”
Lu Xuan couldn't refuse and accepted the strange spiritual seed.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, I came from the Chamber of Commerce in a hurry and didn’t bring anything good, so I just took this five-color soil as a small gift. Congratulations to fellow Taoist for being promoted to Danjie!”
Yan Jiuan followed closely and took out a small pile of spiritual soil from the storage bag.
The spiritual soil is surrounded by five-colored auras, which seem to have merged into one, and one can feel amazing spiritual power from above.
“Five-color soil comes from the interior of a Five Elements mountain range in a foreign land. It is rich in the spiritual power of the Five Elements. It can greatly promote the growth of spiritual plants related to the Five Elements.”
“Thank you, Mr. Yan Daoyou.”
Once fresh, twice familiar, this time Lu Xuan took the small pile of five-color soil very naturally.
Afterwards, many monks who came to congratulate each took out a small thing and presented it to Lu Xuan as a congratulatory gift.
It's just that he is not as good as Qi Wuheng in terms of strength or financial background, and the gifts given are relatively ordinary, so Lu Xuan happily accepted them.
When everyone was leaving, each of them was given a piece of spiritual fruit and spiritual pulp as a return gift.
Soon, the cave was empty, leaving only Lu Xuan alone, and many spiritual beasts huddled in the back mountain without showing their faces.
On the contrary, Lu Xuan was more adaptable to the current situation. With a relaxed attitude, he flew around the cave.
After being promoted to the pill formation, he can easily control the air and fly for a long time, but the speed is not as good as the bonus of Qingfulu, and the spiritual power is consumed faster, so it can only be used at certain moments.
"Five-color soil, five-element spiritual power, there are some spiritual plants related to the five elements in the cave, such as the flame fruit, the ice rose fruit, the earth-fire heart lotus, etc., but they only have a single five-element attribute. If they are cultivated with the five-color soil, it will be a bit wasteful. .”
“Fortunately, when I left Tianjian Sect, I brought out the spiritual plant Five Elements Fruit, so I can focus on planting it in the future.”
His spiritual consciousness controls the five-color soil and spreads it evenly into a spiritual field, integrating it with the ordinary spiritual soil.
