Chapter 847: Breaking Up
Hearing Shen Ye calling Lu Xuan, who was the guest minister of the Hailou Chamber of Commerce, his junior brother, Kong Yun couldn't turn around.
In his impression, although Shen Ye had good swordsmanship skills, he was just an ordinary cultivator from an ordinary background. He didn't expect that he could hide such a deep background.
Shen Ye seemed to see the doubts in the young man's heart and took the initiative to explain:
“Fellow Daoist Kong, don’t think too much. Junior Brother Lu and I just practiced together in a sect in the Eastern Wasteland. Junior Brother, remembering our old friendship, specifically asked me not to change my title.”
"I see."
Kong Yun suddenly understood.
Lu Xuan, who was smiling at the side, bowed his hands and saluted.
“I’m in Lu Xuan, and I’ve met Daoist Fellow Kong.”
“Senior Brother Shen and I have a close friendship and we are brothers. I will have to ask Brother Kong to take care of me in the future.”
“You’re welcome, Fellow Daoist Lu. Fellow Daoist Shen is a proficient swordsman. It’s up to Fellow Daoist to take care of me.”
The young man said quickly, with a bit of respect in his words.
He is just a casual cultivator in the early stage of alchemy formation in Xijian Star Cave. Compared with Lu Xuan, who is backed by the giant Hailou Chamber of Commerce, his status is much different.
Shen Ye led Kong Yun to sit down and continued to greet other guests.
Not long after he entered the Xijian Star Cave, he only met four or five alchemy monks, all of whom were in the early stage of alchemy formation.
After learning about Lu Xuan’s identity, every alchemy monk had an extremely kind and enthusiastic attitude.
Lu Xuan looked calm and revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, that he had a deep friendship with Shen Ye, which could be regarded as adding some protection to his future practice life in the Xijian Star Cave.
Among them, seven or eight foundation-building monks came from other areas of Liyang Realm to celebrate Shen Ye.
Sitting among Lu Xuan and other Jiedan monks, it was like sitting on pins and needles, extremely uncomfortable, for fear of offending Master Jiedan in the slightest.
After the banquet, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to leave. He and Shen Ye sent the visiting monks away and returned to the cave.
“Come, senior brother Shen, there is some fine wine here, let us two have a nice drink.”
He smiled and took out a bottle of fifth-grade Huanzhen Sword Liquid from his storage bag.
There was a shimmering light on the surface of the silver-gray spirit liquid. After looking carefully, I realized that it was a wisp of extremely subtle sword light.
"What is this? It actually caused the sword energy in my body to move."
Shen Ye looked at the silver-gray spirit liquid in front of him, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
“This thing is called Huanzhen Sword Liquid. According to legend, it has some connection with Shangzong Dongxuan Sword Sect, and my junior brother got it by chance.”
“It is believed that after being persuaded to drink this spiritual liquid, the sword cultivator can enter a state of returning to his original nature, and he can understand the sword skills and supernatural powers with a pure and childish heart.”
Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.
"Oh? If there is such a treasure, then senior brother, I have to appreciate it carefully."
Shen Ye said gently with a smile.
“It’s really unique and unique.”
He took a sip and closed his eyes to feel it. When he opened his eyes, a sharp sword flashed through his eyes.
The two continued to chat about their time in Tianjian Sect and their respective experiences after leaving.
“To be honest, senior brother, I’m a little envious of you, junior brother Lu.”
After the wine was full, Shen Ye sighed with a hint of drunkenness.
“According to what my junior brother just said, after entering Tianxing Cave, I lived an extremely simple and boring life, focusing entirely on cultivating spiritual plants.”
“But junior brother, do you know how many monks can’t get such a peaceful life like yours?”
“Who would be willing to risk their lives to explore secret places and seek opportunities when they can live like that?”
"No, even if there were, it would be difficult to reach the level of Lingzhi you are, junior brother." He then shook his head.
“Senior brother, I really admire you for being able to achieve today’s achievements by virtue of your spiritual cultivation.”
Shen Ye lowered his head and said.
He saw clearly everyone's attitude toward Lu Xuan at today's banquet, and he also understood the lofty status of the guest minister of the Hailou Merchant Association.
The moment the banquet ended, my heart suddenly became extremely calm, and I completely gave up the idea of chasing after the junior fellow apprentice.
“I can achieve what I have today, all because of my talent in spiritual cultivation, junior brother.”
Lu Xuan said slowly.
“Junior brother, please don’t be modest. Anyway, I’m sure of your thigh!”
Shen Ye smiled heartily.
“Haha, senior brother is joking.”
“From now on, if there is any need for me, my brother, I will go through fire and water without hesitation.”
Lu Xuan bowed his hands towards Shen Ye and made a solemn promise.
"By the way, Senior Brother Shen, I have a small shop in the Star Reaching Building. I have accumulated some wealth through spiritual plants over the years. I plan to hold a private auction in the shop in a while. There will be some high-level spiritual plants at that time. Plant elixirs, and other treasures.”
“Senior brother, I welcome you to come and have a look. I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce to you some Taoist friends who are quite good in strength and character.”
Finally, he extended an invitation to Shen Ye.
“Okay, I’ll be sure to come on time to participate.”
Shen Ye nodded heavily.
Lu Xuan didn't stay long and said goodbye to Shen Ye. After seeing him off for a long distance, he quickly rushed to the Thunder Star Cave.
Back in the cave, he returned to his previous life as a spiritual planter, dealing with many spiritual plants as always.
Shen Ye's heartfelt confession made him cherish this peaceful and simple farming life even more.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xuan flew out from the depths of the Earth Fire branch, holding two red gold lotus flowers in his hands.
Of the four Pure Yang Golden Lotuses remaining in the magma, two were fully mature, from which he obtained two wisps of sixth-grade Taiyi Pure Yang True Fire, as well as numerous Pure Yang Golden Lotus seeds.
The other two are used to condense spiritual seeds so that long-lasting and stable red gold lotus seeds and light group rewards can be obtained.
There are Pure Yang True Fire, Yuanyang True Fire and the newly obtained sixth-grade strange fire. With Lu Xuan's special ability in spiritual plants, the difficulty of condensing the seeds is not very high. You should be able to get several of them after a while. Pure Yang Golden Lotus Spirit Seed.
He went for a walk in the spiritual field again.
The new batch of ice fireweed has entered the rapid growth stage and is growing very well.
Xiaodongxuan Sword Gourd and Thousand Thunder Sword Grass have been successfully coagulated, and the spiritual seeds were successfully planted into the spiritual soil after being processed by various means.
Other spiritual plants are also in their best condition and growing freely.
“It’s time to prepare the treasures for the auction.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
He held such a private auction for only two purposes.
The first is to clean up some fifth-grade treasures that are of little use to you.
As the level of the treasures released by the light group became higher and higher, and the number increased, he rarely went out to explore the secret realm, so many of the treasures on his body had become useless. He just took this opportunity to clear out a batch.
Of course, it is useless compared to Lu Xuan, who has several seventh-grade treasures. For other ordinary Dan-Jie masters, every treasure he takes out is extremely good.
The second purpose is to advertise the grocery store and strengthen its reputation as a boutique store.
“Having too many treasures is also a kind of trouble, and they must be discarded.”
