The appearance of the Hidden Spirit Cloak and the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, both third-rank treasures, significantly strengthened Lu Xuans confidence and left him full of enthusiasm for cultivating spiritual plants. One day, a gentle voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
Is Friend Lu home?
Lu Xuan opened the door to see two high-grade Qi practitioners standing outside. The one in front was a refined scholar, illuminating a warm smile while the figure behind had a plain face marred by a long scar resembling a centipede, his presence emitting an ill aura.
Are you Lu Xuan, known as Friend Lu? the refined scholar asked with a smile. Indeed, I am. Lu Xuan replied.
Youre even younger than I imagined, Friend Lu. With such profound achievements in the path of spiritual plants at such a young age, your future is immeasurable.
Who might you two be? Lu Xuan asked in puzzlement.
I am Wang Ruohai, from the Linyang Royal Family. This is my friend, Li Jianfeng, a guest elder in our family.
Were here with a request, Friend Lu. We wish to invite you to a newly discovered secret land.
Wang Ruohai explained with a smile.
I typically keep a low profile. How did you two manage to find me? Lu Xuan responded, furrowing his brow.
Youre being too modest, Friend Lu. With your skills in cultivating spiritual plants, its impossible to keep a low profile.
Our family sought spirit plant masters in the market and happened upon you by chance, thanks to a recommendation from a pill master at Bai Cao Tang. Upon learning of your proficiency in cultivating spiritual plants, we decided to come and extend an invitation directly.
Wang Ruohai explained further.
Inwardly, Lu Xuan sighed. The pill master from Bai Cao Tang who recommended him to the Wang family might have been trying to curry favor or had seen his potential and sought to take advantage of it. But regardless of the intention, it ran counter to his own desires.
From what I understand, the Wang family has already taken hold of this new secret land. Surely, theres no need for a spirit plant master? Lu Xuan asked.
Within the secret land, our family found an extraordinary location where several exotic second-level spiritual plants grow, coexisting with peculiar flora. Its difficult to tell them apart by appearance, and they are also infested with strange worms. Therefore, we need some high-ranking spirit plant masters to distinguish, separate, eliminate the insects, and harvest the plants. Lu Xuan nodded, feigning thoughtfulness, a trace of hesitation appearing on his face.
Im deeply honored that the Wang family holds me in such high esteem, but Im just a self-taught, unaffiliated spirit plant master with low cultivation level. I fear I may be incapable
Friend Lu, youre not suggesting you intend to decline the Wang familys invitation, are you?
Wang Ruohai interrupted him directly with an undertone of intimidating force in his voice.
As a high-grade Qi practitioner from the Wang family, who controls the Linyang Market, his word was law, and no one dared to oppose him.
Seeing Lu Xuans solemn expression, he softened his tone.
Friend Lu, you need not worry about safety. The destination is in the middle of the secret land where all demon beasts and demon envoys have been cleared out. There will be protection from at least two high-tier Qi cultivators. Moreover, many of the spirit plant masters invited this time come from large families and powerful forces within the market. If a few of them were to accidentally sustain losses, it would be difficult for our Wang family to explain.
Wang Ruohai seemed to perceive the reason for Lu Xuans hesitation and promptly reassured him about the safety of the trip.
Let me ponder this indoors.
Lu Xuan said.
Very well, my friend and I will wait here for your reply.
Wang Ruohai stood outside the door, implying they would not leave until they received a response from Lu Xuan.
Back in his room, Lu Xuans expression grew uneasy.
The Wang family had invited him to enter the secret land to harvest spiritually infused plants under particular conditions, leaving him to face a choice: to go or not to go.
If he didnt go, he would certainly offend the Wang family. He would lose their goodwill, and being a loose cultivator, it would be very hard for him to stay in the market any longer.
Whats more critical is, at this moment, there are two high-tier Qi cultivators waiting outside his courtyard.
If he wanted to escape, hed either have to silently slip away, or kill the two men.
With the Hidden Spirit Cloak, the former had a certain feasibility, but the certainty was not very high.
After all, his Qi Cultivating Seventh Layer could maintain for only a short time and move slowly. Being in the downtown, there was a chance that he would be discovered by the two high-tier Qi cultivators when his spiritual power was exhausted.
As for dealing with the two men, Lu Xuan was confident that with the many treasures in his hand, defeating the two of them was not a problem, but that was not enough. He had to kill the two men instantly without making much noise, which he also had little control over.
If I do go
If its just as that Wang Family Cultivator said and I only go to the middle area of the Secret Land to handle spirit plants, there shouldnt be any big problems. There would also be Spirit Plant Masters from other family forces going, if any big trouble occurred, they wouldnt have an easy time too.
The scale in Lu Xuans heart began to tilt.
Once I enter the Secret Land, I must avoid making trouble, avoid fierce competition, avoid approaching the core area of the Secret Land, avoid fights over resources with other cultivators.
But I shouldnt restrict myself too much, if something really comes up, it wouldnt be my style to bear it forcibly.
Lu Xuan had a set of conducts of his own in mind, cautioning himself.
With high-tier Qi cultivation, the Grandmaster Realms Golden Sword Technique, Second Grade Magical Tool Red Line Needle, Red Scale Armor, Sword Grass, Second Grade Talisman, Three Grade Pure Jade, Hidden Spirit Cloak, Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, Blood Burning Arrow Technique. Various methods and treasures in hand made Lu Xuan feel sanguine.
Then Ill go to the Secret Land as a well-known Spirit Plant Master in Linyang Market. &
He came to the Spirit Field, looking around at numerous spirit plants.
With a thought, he quickly harvested the remaining ninety-five Spirit Firefly Grass plants.
The white light clusters didnt need to worry about being seen by others the talisman medicine reward that appeared was discreetly put into the storage bag by Lu Xuan, his cultivation level was directly advanced, and the fluctuation of spiritual power was concealed by the Hidden Spirit Cloak.
Since the best time hadnt come yet, these Spirit Firefly Grass were mostly of ordinary or good quality, Lu Xuan didnt care because who knew when he would come back from this trip. It would be better to harvest earlier and enhance strength as much as possible.
Ninety-five light clusters, brought about ten years of cultivation reward, Lu Xuan broke through to the Qi Refinement Eighth Level.
At the same time, there were dozens of First Grade Talismans of all kinds, more than ten Yuan Cultivating Pills, a dozen of Tree Life Spells, and Earth-pulling Art Experience Packages.
The remaining spirit plants, Grade Three Spiritual Plants were too precious, Lu Xuan moved the Flood Dragon Vine and Phantom Smoke Fruit out and put them in the Life Bag to maintain their vitality.
As for the remaining Pure Snow Lotus, Copper Bone Bamboo, and other First and Second Grade Spirit Plants, they were still left in the Spirit Field.
Do you want to come with me? If we go out, you might have to stay in the Life Bag often.
He asked the Cloud Leopard at his feet.
The Civet Juvenile agreed without a moments hesitation, and was sent into the uncomfortable grey bag by Lu Xuan.
Ill have to trouble you to take care of the Spirit Field while Im not here, remember not to let those Iron Claw Crabs escape.
Lu Xuan stuffed three spirit stones into the big lump on the Grass Puppets head.
With concentration, the Grass Puppet was repeating this command over and over.
He felt a little relieved, sent out another voice transmission talisman, asking Manager He to come and check on the courtyard more often.
He opened the Hidden Fog Maze Array and thick white fog enveloped the courtyard.
Lu Xuan walked out of the courtyard, nodded at Wang Ruohai and the other person waiting outside the door.
I hope for your kind protection..
