Chapter 915: Chapter 913: Wind Calming Divine Pearl

“Cultivating spirit plants as a Spirit Plant Master is no easy feat, fearing that the precious spirit plants painstakingly nurtured could be ruined by other ‘Cultivators.'”

Lu Xuan whispered reflectively.

He flicked his fingers, and several golden Spirit Thunders shot out from his fingertips, roaming wantonly around the area.

The Golden Spirit Thunder naturally suppressed the evil Yin spirits, and if any remnant of the Bald Monk’s Divine Soul still lingered, it would find no chance of revival under the continuous barrage of the thunder.

Despite seemingly handling the battle with ease against a Golden Core Completion Cultivator, Lu Xuan had actually deployed several powerful, secret techniques.

It started with a surprise attack on an unguarded enemy, allowing the Void Nightmare Eye to unleash its full illusionary power, causing the Bald Monk’s mind to falter momentarily.

...

Seizing that fleeting opportunity, Lu Xuan then unleashed a Middle Rank Divine Ability, the Immovable King Seal, to heavily injure his opponent.

After the Bald Monk had also resorted to his Insect Controlling Secret Technique, Lu Xuan consecutively deployed the Southern Bright Thunderfire Mirror and the Yin Yang Origin Magnetism Divine Needle—both Middle Rank Magical Treasures—completely obliterating the opponent’s flesh and Divine Soul.

Even with his Golden Core Late Stage Spiritual Power, supplemented by the Five Viscera Cultivation Temple, deploying these powerful techniques had depleted more than half of his internal Spiritual Power.

Fortunately, the ease with which he resolved the fight also gave Lu Xuan a thorough understanding of his current strength.

“Including my formidable flesh body and the numerous Fifth Grade Sword Talismans and other rare treasures, average groups of three to five Golden Core Completion ‘Cultivators’ probably wouldn’t stand a chance against me in the short term.”

“Of course, in a prolonged battle, I could likely find myself at a disadvantage.”

“As for a Primordial Infant True Monarch, by utilizing the Xiao Space-Shift Technique and Scolding Thunder Wing, I could still possibly escape even if I couldn’t win.”

He mused inwardly, summoning a Storage bag to his side with his Spiritual Sense.

When the Bald Monk’s flesh body disintegrated, he had specifically preserved the Storage bag for this moment of looting the corpse.

After mastering the Sky Illusion Forbidden Law, he had acquired a profound understanding of formations—the simple Prohibitions and Restrictions on the Storage bag were easily deciphered.

His Spiritual Sense slowly penetrated it, extracting everything inside.

A large pile of Spirit Stones, mostly “Low-grade Spirit Stones,” with a small portion being Middle Grade Spiritual Stones.

“All in all, nearly 200,000 ‘Low-grade Spirit Stones,’ quite the impoverished ‘Cultivator.'”

Lu Xuan curled his lips, eyeing the other treasures.

A Sixth Grade Flying Sword, relatively ordinary among its contemporaries, was not much stronger compared to the Low-grade Magical Treasure Peacock King Sword refined by Lu Xuan himself.

There were also several Fifth-grade Magical Artifacts; to Lu Xuan, who was spoiled by Light Orb Treasures, they seemed utterly mundane.

Of course, placed in a Grocery Store or used for trading with other ‘Cultivators,’ they still held considerable value.

Moreover, it seemed the Bald Monk excelled in the art of insect control, as there were more than a dozen jars in the Storage bag containing various strangely shaped Strange Insects.

Several of these Strange Insects were of the fifth rank, posing a significant threat to Early Core Formation stage ‘Cultivators.’

There were also some unhatched eggs; Lu Xuan, who had once browsed the “Insect Scripture” among the Authentic Teachings of the Sky Sword Sect, could tell that the ranks of these eggs were quite ordinary.

“Some of these poisonous insects could be used to breed the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect,” he remarked simply.

The remaining Elixirs and Charms were all common goods; Lu Xuan naturally overlooked them and collected them all in his Storage bag.

“These flesh and blood fragments shouldn’t be wasted either; they’ll be a good addition to the Weird Spiritual Plants in the Underworld Spirit Field.”

After retracting the Southern Bright Thunderfire, some remains of the Bald Monk’s flesh and blood still lingered in the void.

Adhering to the principle of not being wasteful, Lu Xuan packed them all up and took them away.

He let the Flower Charm Slave lead the way once again to the mist near the Incomplete Cave Heaven.

After observing carefully and confirming there were no abnormalities, he cautiously entered the mist.

“The appearance of the bald monk this time was unexpected, but we must still be vigilant,”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The location of the Incomplete Cave Heaven was very hidden, covered by fog, making it extremely difficult to detect under normal circumstances.

When Lu Xuan last visited, he had specially arranged five Star Battle Flags around it, enhancing the defensive strength of the Cave Heaven to another level.

Yet despite these considerable factors, Lu Xuan still lacked absolute confidence.

“It is necessary to hasten the ripening of the new batch of Star Fruits soon, obtain the complete number of Star Battle Flags, and then figure out a way to arrange the Seventh Grade Zhou Sky Star Fighting Sword Array.”

“With that, the Incomplete Cave Heaven could really be considered as secure as a fortress of gold,”

“Even if by chance spotted by a Primordial Infant True Monarch, he would hardly be able to penetrate the formation restrictions and enter inside.”

The Incomplete Cave Heaven had great benefits for the growth of high-rank spirit plants, and having obtained it with difficulty, Lu Xuan naturally would not easily let it go.

He could only double down on multiple safeguards to enhance its resistance to risks.

Upon landing on the small island in the Cave Heaven, surrounded by pure spiritual energy, Lu Xuan sensed a significant anomaly not far away.

“Could it be that Xun Feng Palace has matured?”

Lu Xuan felt a surge of joy in his heart and, paying no mind to the other spirit plants, transformed into a silvery-white lightning and instantaneously appeared before the Eightfold Palace.

What caught his eye was a peculiar scene.

A spirit flower was blossoming, emitting a faint green light that illuminated the area, with a massive flower phantom gently spinning.

Within the phantom, strange winds blew now and then, some as gentle as a breeze caressing the face and soothing the mind and body, others like violent storms ravaging everything around.

In the center of the spirit flower, a white light cluster was faintly flickering.

“Is this, the blossoming of the First Layer’s Xun Feng Palace Spirit Flower?”

Lu Xuan guessed, focusing his mind on the Eightfold Palace.

“The first layer’s spirit flower has bloomed, but it’s not yet harvestable.”

“However, it is possible to collect the light orb reward that comes with the first layer’s spirit flower.”

The anticipation in his heart intensified; he held his breath, steadied his spirit, and gently touched the white light cluster.

As in countless previous encounters, the light cluster silently shattered, with tiny lights bursting into the sky, instantly forming a slender river of light that entered Lu Xuan’s body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvesting the First Layer of the Eightfold Palace’s Xun Feng Palace, obtained the Seventh Grade Treasure Item, Wind Calming Divine Pearl.]

As the thought vanished, a peculiar spirit pearl appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The spirit pearl seemed incorporeal, composed of countless compressed spirit winds, and at the moment it appeared, it seemed as if all the spirit winds flowing through the Incomplete Cave Heaven were converging towards the pearl.

Lu Xuan focused his mind on it and immediately learned detailed information about it.

[Wind Calming Divine Pearl, Seventh Grade Treasure Item, has the ability to stabilize the strange spirit winds of the world, can absorb and weaken wind attribute secret techniques and divine abilities; when placed in one location over a long period, it can form a treasure land containing strange winds.]

[When combined with seven other strange treasures related to earth, water, fire, yin, yang, cosmos, and space, it can refine an unowned Cave Heaven into a personal spatial.]

“A Seventh Grade Treasure Item, Wind Calming Divine Pearl! To think that such a rare treasure would emerge from just the first layer!”

Lu Xuan exclaimed aloud.

“Collecting the other seven treasures can actually refine an unowned place into a personal space!”
