BXBX NOVEL Chapter 252 - 250: Spirit Fruit Feast i
Three mature Sword Nurturing Gourds produced three fourth-grade Sword Talismans.
Among them, two were Roaring Sea Sword Charms, and one was a Great Sun Sword Charm.
With such generous rewards, Lu Xuan confirmed his idea to continue cultivating the Sword Nurturing Gourd.
If the Jade Scale Fruit is just an option and it’s still uncertain whether to continue planting it, then the third-grade Sword Nurturing Gourd is definitely a must.
Lu Xuan thought about it, continued to inspect the Spirit Field, checked the real-time condition of each Spirit Plant, and satisfied their tiny needs one by one.
Back in the courtyard, he checked his Storage Bag, which was already filled with a lot of Spirit Fruits, thus determined to invite the Mystical Sky White Luan and White Jade Sky Monkey, whom he had not seen for a while to join him.
He took out a silver-white silky hair as hard as jade, activated his spiritual power, and the hair immediately emitted a soft glow.
This hair was left by the White Jade Sky Monkey last time, and as long as Lu Xuan used his spiritual power to activate it, the little monkey within a certain range would come over immediately.
And sure enough, shortly after more than ten breaths, a ray of white light directly broke through the Flowing Light Formation and fell into the courtyard. It was indeed the stunning descendant of the Beast Protecting the Sect – the White Jade Sky Monkey.
The White Jade Monkey panted and roared as if asking Lu Xuan why he summoned him.
Behind the White Jade Sky Monkey, the Mystical Sky White Luan quickly appeared, its clear black and white pupils staring at Lu Xuan, with its white feathers trembling slightly.
“It’s been a while since the last time I saw you. I invited you over because quite a number of spirit fruits have just ripened. I thought you might want to come and taste them.”
Lu Xuan explained with a seldom smile.
The little monkey thought it was called to have a fight, and its eyes were red. After hearing what Lu Xuan said, it slowly returned to normal, hid behind the Mystical Sky White Luan, showing a shy and well-behaved face.
Lu Xuan cut the Jade Scale Fruit, Flaming Fruit, Ice Luo Fruit, and some common spirit fruits he bought and put a small dish in front of each spirit beast, then took out the Drunk Immortal Gourd, and poured a small cup of Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice.
With his nod of approval, they began to enjoy this simple Spirit Fruit feast.
Lu Xuan picked up a piece of Ice Luo Fruit and put it in his mouth.
Immediately, a delicate, cool, and sweet taste spread from his mouth, as if he had eaten a piece of frozen watermelon on a hot summer day, which refreshed him from head to toe.
The cool taste of Ice Luo Fruit lingered in his mouth for a long time, making all the spirit beasts to savor it.
Lu Xuan carefully experienced the delicious taste of the Ice Luo Fruit and continued to enjoy the Flaming Fruit flesh.
A small ball of jelly-like flame was put into the mouth.
As soon as it entered, it reacted violently with the remaining icy breath in the mouth, changing from a cool and refreshing taste, to an explosion of heat.
The combination of these two flavors gave Lu Xuan a magical taste experience that made his taste buds extremely sensitive and stimulated.
“This is the legendary Ice and Fire Two Heavens.”
He sighed quietly.
The two kinds of spirit fruits with unique and wonderful tastes blended together, plus the special formula of the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, made the Luan Bird and Monkey indulge in the extremely delicious taste.
“Tastes good, doesn’t it?”
After these guardian creatures had eaten and drunk to their satisfaction, Lu Xuan smiled and asked.
“How about it, is the taste of these Spirit Fruits okay?”
The Mystical Sky White Luan and the White Jade Sky Monkey nodded vehemently.
Although they could eat Spirit Fruits every meal, they were only common varieties, first and second-grades, and of average quality.
And here with Lu Xuan, the spirit fruits were of numerous varieties and of splendid diversity, their quality was exceptional. The minimum quality was “good”, while superior quality spirit fruits were not uncommon.
When the quality of a Spirit Fruit declined by one grade, the taste unquestionably differed.
The cultivators responsible for raising these fruits would not spend most of their time cultivating Spiritual Plants with precision and naturally couldn’t produce Spirit Fruits of higher quality. This caused the two young guardian beasts to frequently visit Lu Xuan for a treat.
It s a shame that I may not be able to properly cultivate Spirit Fruits in the
future? ”
Lu Xuan’s expression held three parts regret, seven parts reluctance, and he sighed.
The spiritual intelligence of the White Luan Bird and the little monkey were extremely high. They instantly understood the hidden meaning behind Lu Xuan’s words and simultaneously looked up at him.
“Recently, I have offended a few Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivators from the Sect who have more powerful backgrounds and higher strengths. I fear they might cause trouble subtly, affecting my cultivation of Spiritual Plants.”
Lu Xuan spoke with utter sincerity. He was somewhat worried that a few of those from Langyue Blessed Land may continue to cause him trouble in the future, and thus, wanted to take preventive measures with the Luan Bird and the monkey, in case of unexpected needs.
“If anyone comes here to bully me, you will surely help me, won’t you?” Hearing these words, the White Jade Sky Monkey’s eyes became scarlet, as he pounded on his own chest, displaying an attitude of readiness to fight anytime. The White Luan Bird spread its wings, circling around Lu Xuan and signifying that it would assist him immediately if he faced any troubles.
The reassurances from both guardian beasts finally put Lu Xuan at ease.
Once the Luan bird and the monkey left, Lu Xuan tidied up his courtyard.
Then, he headed to a nearby mountain peak.
While he was treating Mystical Sky White Luan and the White Jade Sky Monkey with Spirit Fruits, he had casually spotted his neighbor, who was on the way back from dealing with the Same-heart Demon. Out of curiosity, he decided to go see what was happening.
This mountain peak was just six or seven miles away from the one where Lu Xuan resided. He soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, where the owner had been waiting for quite a while.
“Which wind has blown today, that our usually reclusive Junior Brother Lu has graced this place?”
Owner of the mountain was a surnamed Kong, a Foundation Establishment First-term stage cultivator. However, he had been an Inner Sect Disciple for a number of years and was making all sorts of preparations to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Mid-term stage.
“I noticed Brother Kong returning from outside the Sect and guessed that the Same-heart Demon must have been put to an end. So, I came to gather some news.”
Lu Xuan laughed and replied, following close behind the cultivator.
“The Same-heart Demon is indeed taken care of, but I had nothing to do with
The cultivator surnamed Kong said with a bitter smile.
Initially, with so many fellow disciples clearing the area layer by layer, I thought I was safe for sure, but an unexpected event took place during the process.”
Oh?” Lu Xuan sat up straight, instantly interested.
“There were three Same-heart Demons that entered Star City and the surrounding market area, and there was even a remnant soul of a Nascent Soul Old Demon attached to them.
Under its guidance, the three Same-heart Demons joined forces to break through, displaying power equivalent to a foundation establishment late-term cultivator. One of the disciples from Foundation Establishment First-term stage had let his guard down and got killed by the Same-heart Demons.” “This enraged our Sect, prompting them to send a True Disciple who directly eliminated the Same-heart Demons.”
A True Disciple…
Lu Xuan secretly clicked his tongue. The Seventeen True Disciples, each being the Golden Core reserve of the Sect, had at least a Foundation Establishment Late-term level of power. Their treasures and cultivation techniques could easily defeat the Same-heart Demons. It was quite expected.”
It s just a pity for that fellow disciple. He had originally thought that with his own strength and luck, he could obtain a fourth-grade flying sword. Who would have guessed he’d go and never return?”
Lu Xuan spoke regretfully.
