#1263 - Flowing Light Crane Breakthrough

After the Artifact Spirit left, Lu Xuan went to the nearby Sword Abyss City to learn about the shop's situation before returning to his cave in the Sword Sect.

He took the drop of Celestial Fox blood essence and entered his personal space, arriving before the Nine Truth Spirit Leaves.

This ninth-grade spiritual plant was growing well, with seven giant leaves of varying sizes unfurled, each forming a strange space. Within each space, a phantom of a True Spirit appeared and disappeared, merging with the spiritual leaf.

Among them, the leaves of the True Dragon, Celestial Phoenix, and Xuan Tortoise, which had been nurtured for the longest time, were the largest. Deep within the leaves, an unparalleled power was revealed. Although the aura was weak, it possessed a kind of arrogance that looked down upon all living beings in the world.

The Kun Peng and Kirin leaves were slightly inferior, while the leaves where the Five-Colored Peacock and Azure Luan were located were significantly smaller.

He slowly sent the drop of Celestial Fox blood essence to one of the curled leaves.

The leaf seemed to sense something, displaying great spirituality, and quietly opened, instantly absorbing the Celestial Fox blood essence inside.

Lu Xuan's mind went blank for a moment, as if he saw a Celestial Fox with extreme allure gazing at him with seductive eyes, its nine tails constantly swaying, covering the sky and the earth.

He took out a bottle of Spirit Spring and poured it on each of the magical leaves. The phantoms of the True Spirits inside the giant leaves enjoyed it to their heart's content, full of vitality.

After nurturing the Nine Truth Spirit Leaves, he transformed into a ball of dark yellow spiritual light and burrowed deep into his personal space.

At the very center, the ninth-grade Xuanhuang Tree was planted.

The sapling was interwoven with Xuan and Huang colors, merging with the space. Wisps of undetectable origin aura surged from the space, slowly nourishing the Xuanhuang Tree like a silent rain.

"The Xuanhuang Tree needs the aura of a blessed land to nourish and cultivate it. It's a pity that my personal space is just a remnant of a blessed land, only able to simply nourish this ninth-grade spiritual plant.

If I want to nurture it to maturity, I still need to find a way to obtain a portion of the blessed land's origin aura."

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, flew out from the ground, and seemed to cross through strange spaces in a very short time, arriving before the Void-Containing Immortal Vine.

This innate spiritual root had been planted for decades, but compared to when it was first planted, there was not much change. However, he could sense an invisible existence spreading out, deeply rooted in the void, seemingly absorbing special nutrients from the depths of the void.

After nurturing the Void-Containing Immortal Vine, Lu Xuan came to the True Qi Mysterious Gourd.

A wisp of True Yuan mana surged from his fingertip, combined with spiritual rain, and silently infiltrated the True Qi Mysterious Gourd.

In his divine sense perception, deep within the Xuanqing vines, a wisp of extremely weak special spiritual power was being nurtured.

"There are more and more eighth-grade spiritual plants. Although I have several kinds of ripening spiritual objects in my hand, they are still not enough in the face of these eighth-grade, ninth-grade, and even innate spiritual roots and Dao fruits."

At this moment, Lu Xuan's desire to collect eighth-grade and above ripening spiritual objects was stronger than ever before.

He carefully nurtured every high-level spiritual plant in his personal space before returning to his cave.

Unknowingly, five years had passed. During this period, Lu Xuan became more and more proficient in the treasures and supernatural powers he obtained from the light spheres. Low-level spiritual plants in the spiritual field matured from time to time, and he harvested quite a few light spheres.

However, due to his current mid-Nascent Soul Realm, the rewards were greatly reduced, and they were like chicken ribs to him, so he could only put them in the shop for sale.

Although he rarely left the Sword Sect, he was quite aware of many things outside.

The Artifact Spirit Senior did indeed do what he said, and found an opportunity to make the Taiyi Alliance suffer a setback and a great loss, even brewing a small conflict. Fortunately, it was finally successfully quelled.

The effect of the eighth-grade Extreme Saint Demon Fruit was even stronger than expected.

On this day, when he was nurturing spiritual plants, he suddenly noticed a violent change in the spiritual energy within his personal space, and a large cloud of thunder quietly condensed.

In a few breaths, it formed a huge spiritual energy vortex spanning dozens of miles, making the Light Stream Spirit Crane at the very center appear extremely small.

Having experienced the breakthrough of the Demon Ghost Vine before, the many spiritual beasts in the personal space were all experienced, and each chose to avoid it from afar at the first moment.

Lu Xuan transmitted a divine thought to appease the Light Stream Spirit Crane. The feathers of the Spirit Crane shone brightly, and its body gradually became crystal clear, as if some strange existence was being conceived within it.

With a loud bang.

A silver-white thunderbolt as thick as a bucket struck down from the sky, landing on the Spirit Crane.

The thunder light poured down, and the center of the spiritual energy vortex suddenly became a vast expanse of white, making it difficult to see with the naked eye.

The Light Stream Spirit Crane was, after all, a mount exclusive to Demon Saints, and its talent was stronger than that of the Demon Ghost Vine, so it seemed more relaxed when facing the thunder tribulation.

Every feather on its body was scorched black by the thunderbolts, but in the blink of an eye, it returned to normal, becoming more and more radiant and smooth, as if it had been tempered into powerful magic weapons.

It wasn't until the fourth thunderbolt that the Light Stream Spirit Crane began to show signs of being overwhelmed.

The thunder light raged, leaving gray-black burn marks on its body. Dense demon power surged from its body, quickly healing the injuries on the Spirit Crane.

"This should be the remaining medicinal power of the half of the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit."

The Light Stream Spirit Crane, which had not yet broken through to the seventh grade, naturally could not completely absorb the medicinal power of the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit. After it remained in its body, it was stimulated by these thunderbolts.

When it came to the last three thunder tribulations.

As the owner of the Light Stream Spirit Crane, he would not be too rejected by the thunder tribulation, and could help a little by the side.

With the help of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder to absorb the thunder tribulation, the last three terrifying offensives were passed without any danger.

The Light Stream Spirit Crane's body rapidly increased in size, and its aura continued to rise. Its body was always in a strange state of destruction and rebirth. The thunder light returned to silence, and the endless spiritual energy in the spiritual energy vortex poured into the Spirit Crane's body like a flood from a breached dam.

"Congratulations on advancing to a seventh-grade spiritual beast."

Lu Xuan congratulated from the bottom of his heart.

If the Heavenly Yuan Fruit could be planted and harvested in batches, and the Spirit Crane's essence could not keep up, then refining as many seventh-grade Turtle Crane Essence Pills as possible would be wishful thinking.

"Thank you, Master."

The Light Stream Spirit Crane's voice was clear and bright, and it said gratefully with its head lowered.

It had just advanced and had not yet fully mastered the method of transformation, so it still appeared in front of Lu Xuan in the form of a spiritual bird.

"Having advanced to the seventh grade, there will be many places where I need you in the future, but I can guarantee that it will not harm your cultivation foundation."

Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Everything I have is bestowed by Master, and I will obey Master's orders in everything."

The Spirit Crane said sincerely.

Being able to cultivate in such a dilapidated blessed land in the personal space, eating countless fifth-grade Myriad Manifestation Grasses, and being fortunate enough to taste half of the eighth-grade Extreme Saint Demon Fruit, it can be said that Lu Xuan made great contributions to the Spirit Crane's successful advancement.

"Go, I will naturally come to you in a while."

Lu Xuan said with a smile, his gaze casually swept over the white light sphere located at the very center of the previous spiritual energy vortex.
