Chapter 862: Thousand-year-old tree heart
Lu Xuan's spiritual sense swept over and saw a thin Taoist priest standing outside the cave.
The Taoist priest had a deep breath and a solemn face, holding a gray ancient mirror in his hand.
Many strange runes were engraved on the edge of the ancient mirror, as if thousands of evil demons were randomly mixed together.
"The perfect state of Dan formation?!"
Lu Xuan's heart trembled.
The man in front of him did not show any signs of evil demons invading from his appearance, but he did not dare to be careless. He flashed and came to the outside of the cave.
"I am Lu Xuan. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you can forgive me. What is your name?"
"I am Taoist Qingsong, serving as the law enforcement officer of Tianxing Cave."
The thin Taoist priest smiled and continued.
"Recently, evil demons have invaded the Leihuoxing Cave, and even killed and occupied patrol guards. I was ordered by the Star Lord to come and investigate."
"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Lu, have you found any guards or other suspicious monks in the Tianxing Cave?"
Lu Xuan frowned slightly, as if recalling something, and soon shook his head.
"I cultivate spiritual plants in the cave every day, and I didn't find anything suspicious."
He didn't want to expose the fact that he easily discovered and even killed the evil demons, so he denied it without hesitation.
"Very good, I have something to ask you."
Taoist Qingsong nodded, his expression calm.
"This ancient mirror in my hand is a rare treasure, and it has an extremely keen perception of evil demons. Please relax, Fellow Daoist Lu, and let this ancient mirror reflect you."
"No problem."
Lu Xuan nodded immediately.
Taoist Qingsong shook the ancient mirror in front of Lu Xuan, staring at the mirror intently.
The mirror was still gray, without any abnormality.
"It's OK. I hope that Daoist Fellow Lu will forgive me for any inconvenience."
"It's OK. I am also trying to clear my suspicion."
"Master Qingsong, you have worked hard to come here to hunt down the evil demon. Here are a few spiritual fruits that I cultivated myself. They are delicious and can help you relieve your fatigue. I hope you don't dislike them."
A few pink and white spiritual peaches appeared silently in Lu Xuan's hand.
Daoist Qingsong scanned them with his spiritual sense and used an ancient mirror to check them. After confirming that there was no problem, he took one and bit it without hesitation.
"Not bad, you are worthy of being the most famous spiritual plant master in Tianxing Cave."
"Daoist Fellow Lu, I have something important to do. I will come to you to talk about our friendship after I finish it."
"Goodbye."
"Master, take care. I wish you a smooth journey to get rid of that evil demon."
Lu Xuan smiled and watched the other party leave.
When his mind was focused on the other party, he did not notice anything unusual and was relieved immediately.
Afterwards, he immediately opened the Mysterious Crystal Formation of All Barriers and completely sealed the cave.
"They actually sent out the law enforcement monks from the Tianxing Cave. It seems that the evil demon has made quite a commotion."
Lu Xuan returned to the yard and lowered his head in thought.
"In this case, it is necessary to upgrade the protection of the cave."
"After all, I have two caves. Although the Fengyuan Star Cave is looked after by Linggu's incarnation, it is inevitable that there will be situations where I cannot cope with it properly."
"Fortunately, the two seventh-grade formations have already had some clues."
"As long as the star fruit and the five elements fantasy fruit are ripe enough, it is possible to get a complete Zhoutian Xingdou Sword Formation and the Great Five Elements Annihilation Formation."
He wished he had a few more Shenmu Qinghu at this moment, so that all the urgently needed spiritual plants could be ripened.
"Haste makes waste, accumulate more pure plant spiritual energy."
He injected a large amount of Qingmu source energy into the Cuiqing small pot, put it into the gluttonous insect capsule, and quietly waited for the small pot to transform it into plant spiritual energy with better quality and effect.
In the following period of time, Lu Xuan noticed that the patrol intensity of Leihuoxing Cave increased again. From time to time, he found that there were cultivators in the late stage of Jindan or even the perfect stage of Jindan passing by the cave.
Occasionally, there would be cultivators coming to the cave to find Lu Xuan to see if there were any evil demons invading the cave and occupying his body.
Lu Xuan allowed them to check, and by the way, he secretly checked again with the spiritual fruits and wines he sent out.
The phantom demon that he killed became an unsolved mystery. The cultivators of Tianxing Cave dug the ground for three feet, but they could not find it for a long time. Finally, they had no choice but to give up and thought that it was secretly solved by some cultivator or had escaped to the secret realm deep in the sea of thunder.
Lu Xuan naturally kept his mouth shut and did not reveal anything. He continued to act as an ordinary spiritual plant master who was dedicated to cultivating spiritual plants.
In a blink of an eye, several months passed.
On this day, when he was teasing Lei Longhu and Qing Yuelin in the yard, suddenly, his spiritual consciousness detected a slight movement in the spiritual field.
There were extremely subtle wisps of pure and spiritual breath floating out of the spiritual plants, slowly converging towards a position in the center.
Above the position, a delicate and exquisite tree lady was floating in the air, allowing the pure and spiritual breath to blend into her small body.
The pure and spiritual breath floating out of each spiritual plant was very small, which had no effect on the spiritual plant, but when there were many of them gathered together, it was also very impressive.
As more and more pure and spiritual breath was absorbed, green lines appeared on the snow-like skin of the tree lady, and the lines slowly spread all the way to her face.
It exuded an increasingly pure and fresh and natural meaning. In Lu Xuan's spiritual perception, the spiritual plants in the entire cave seemed to be cheering and lively.
After absorbing all the pure and spiritual breath, the tree lady opened her eyes, and a green light flashed in her eyes.
"Is this a breakthrough?"
Lu Xuan's mind was focused on the body of the tree lady.
[Tree Lady, a fifth-grade complete form, a rare plant spirit, born as a mother, feeds on the spiritual energy of plants and trees. During its growth, it can change the surrounding spiritual energy environment, which is conducive to the growth of spiritual plants. It will gradually comprehend wood-related secrets and even magical powers. ]
"Small, but actually a fifth-grade spirit? But judging from its information, it should be a type that is not good at fighting."
"In a sense, it is a spirit plant master among spirits..."
Lu Xuan thought with a sense of evil.
"But I can understand its rapid growth. It is a rare plant spirit, and there are so many high-level spirit plants in the cave, which is beneficial to its growth, so that it can quickly break through and become a complete form."
While he was guessing in his heart, he reached out and gently touched the white light ball that quietly emerged.
The light ball shattered silently, turned into tiny light spots all over the sky, and then quickly sank into Lu Xuan's body.
The thought flashed through his mind.
[The spirit tree lady broke through to the fifth grade and obtained the sixth-grade treasure, the thousand-year-old tree heart. 】
A piece of ancient wood with mottled green color appeared in front of Lu Xuan. After careful exploration with his spiritual sense, he could detect a green light ball in the center of the wood, which exuded extremely pure plant spirit energy.
Lu Xuan focused his mind on the ancient wood and immediately learned detailed information about it.
[The heart of a thousand-year-old tree, a sixth-grade treasure, is the most essential part of the thousand-year-old tree. It is of great benefit to the growth of wood-type spirits, spirit beasts, etc. It can also be used to refine wood-type magic weapons or high-level puppet cores. 】
