After deliberately avoiding two cultivators from the Divine Peaks Sect being pursued by demonic beast puppets, Lu Xuan chose a direction for the Demon Ghost Vine to continue its search for spiritual seeds.
Half an hour later, the Demon Ghost Vine arrived at the edge of a small lake.
The lake wasn’t large, with a surface of black-red water exuding a faint fishy smell.
With Lu Xuan's consent, the grey vine crossed the black-red waters, stretching towards the lake's bottom.
Soon, the Demon Ghost Vine emerged unscathed from the lake, its tip entwined with a fiery red spiritual seed.
The seed's edges were embellished with a flame pattern, flickering with a soft red light.
Lu Xuan planted it into the spiritual soil, and with a focused mind, instantly obtained information about the fiery red spiritual seed.
【Aberrant Flowing Fire Wood, a third-grade spiritual plant…】
【Accidentally fell into a water environment, antagonistic to its fire element, unable to grow normally, barely maintaining its vitality.】
【Can use treasures, talismans, techniques, etc., to dispel the abnormal water elemental spiritual power within the seed, restoring it to normal.】
"A fire elemental spiritual seed that fell into water."
Lu Xuan found it amusing, rubbing his fingers together, summoning a wisp of pure white flame.
Having meditated on the Pure Yang True Fire Scroll for a while, he had a deep understanding of fire elemental techniques. Though not strong enough for combat, it was more than sufficient for roasting spiritual seeds.
Under the exquisite control of the Flame Manipulation Technique, the Flowing Fire Wood seed quickly returned to normal, its flame pattern edges shining brightly, full of vitality.
Thus, under the surveillance of the Void Nightmare Eye, Lu Xuan specifically avoided demonic beasts and cultivators, focusing solely on searching for spiritual seeds.
After a hard day’s search, the Demon Ghost Vine found three Aberrant fourth-grade Arrow Vine seeds and several third-grade seeds.
Satisfied, Lu Xuan was contemplating how to regroup with his Sky Sword Sect fellow disciples when suddenly, three cultivators appeared in the palm of his hand.
Two were clad in Myriad Beasts Sect robes, one of whom was Long Miaomiao, with whom he had interacted a few times. She, with her muscular body, was controlling several giant apes, fighting off the pursuing demonic beast puppets while fleeing.
"Hm? Feng junior brother is also here."
Just as Lu Xuan was about to leave, he noticed the last cultivator was his sect mate, Feng Yu.
He paused for a moment, a grey-white pupil emerged into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, and he waited in place.
Feng Yu, being from the same sect, shared a bond of camaraderie with him, and naturally, he should offer help if within his power.
Especially since Feng Yu had spent time studying aberrant spiritual plants with him, it was all the more reason to lend a hand.
As the three approached, Lu Xuan greeted them.
"Brother Lu, I didn't expect to encounter you here. Hurry, escape, many demonic beast puppets are chasing us."
Feng Yu, noticing Lu Xuan from a distance, was initially relieved but then, considering Lu Xuan's status as a spiritual plant cultivator, realized his presence might not significantly impact their situation and instead warned him.
"Feng junior brother, there’s no need to worry, I have a complete plan."
Lu Xuan reassured Feng Yu, his spiritual sense sweeping behind the trio.
About twenty to thirty demonic beast puppets were chasing them, including a few whose original forms were fourth-grade demonic beasts.
He was confident, transmitting to Feng Yu and the others:
"Feng junior brother, Long Daoist friend, and the Daoist friend from the Myriad Beasts Sect, please come closer to me."
"I have a fourth-grade sword talisman in my hand, extremely powerful in slaying, capable of instantly releasing numerous formidable sword energies, inflicting significant damage on these demonic beast puppets in an instant."
Long Miaomiao, with a handsome and robust figure, glanced in Lu Xuan’s direction, hesitating for a moment before deciding to trust him.
The trio quickly converged towards Lu Xuan, forming a small circle.
"Be careful with the sword talisman; it does not discriminate. Please take care to avoid accidental injury from the sword energy!"
Lu Xuan cautioned, a talisman neither gold nor jade, shaped like a sword tip, slid from his sleeve into his palm.
Infinite sword intent within the talisman surged like tidal waves, its momentum vast.
Watching the approaching multitude of demonic beast puppets, with a thought from Lu Xuan, waves within the talisman crested high over the tip.
Instantly, countless deep black sword energies howled out from the talisman, sweeping over the puppets like a tide
, layer upon layer, densely packed, engulfing the demonic beasts.
Even under the control of the Parasitic Yin Thread, the demonic beast puppets, fearless in the face of death, were perforated by the relentless attack of the Howling Sea Sword Talisman, except for a few thick-skinned or exceptionally fast beasts, the rest were riddled with holes, pierced by numerous sword energies.
"Daoist Lu, the power of your talisman is truly astonishing!"
Long Miaomiao, observing the landscape, now akin to a repeatedly plowed field, couldn’t help but exclaim.
After escaping the camp, affected by the explosion’s aftermath and continuously pursued by numerous fearless demonic beast puppets, they had been in a passive state.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan’s single sword talisman effortlessly turned the tide.
"Indeed, worthy of the Sky Sword Sect, known for its swordsmanship. Just one talisman repelled so many demonic beasts."
Another Myriad Beasts Sect cultivator echoed.
While the two complimented, Lu Xuan did not bask in their praise but instead felt a pang of loss.
"Unbeknownst to you two, as I’m not adept at fighting, I had to prepare thoroughly for my safety before entering this blessed land, acquiring such a lifesaving sword talisman at great cost."
"Thus, Daoist Lu, your assistance was immensely valuable, a debt of gratitude we shall never forget."
The two became solemn, expressing their gratitude towards Lu Xuan.
"Am I asking you to never forget? What I want is your immediate compensation."
Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
"There are still some troublesome avian puppets left, I’ll leave them to you, Daoist friends from the Myriad Beasts Sect."
He advised, then proceeded to collect the remains of the demonic beast puppets into his storage bag.
Although devoid of much essence, they could still feed the Demon Ghost Vine or be used for crafting artifacts, thus holding considerable value.
The trio, understanding Lu Xuan’s actions, turned a blind eye, recognizing his right to scavenge these spoils after using such a precious talisman.
After busying themselves for a while, Long Miaomiao and the others, somewhat disheveled, returned to Lu Xuan, voluntarily handing over the demonic beasts they had hunted to him.
"Feng junior brother, Daoist Long, you may choose any materials you need from the demonic beast puppets. I’ll take the remaining carcasses for research."
Lu Xuan spoke gently.
"Thank you, Brother Lu!"
Unexpectedly delighted by this windfall, they expressed their sincere gratitude.
After swiftly handling the materials, Lu Xuan and the group did not linger, heading towards the frontlines of the three sects together.
Crossing a deep valley, Lu Xuan stopped first, with the others halting as well.
Ahead, four giant dragon-like demonic beasts silently appeared, their forms ferocious and movements slightly rigid, yet their presence far surpassed the previously encountered demonic beast puppets.
"That Parasitic Yin Thread can even parasitize and control flood dragons…"
Lu Xuan inwardly marveled, a Grand Sun Sword Talisman quietly falling into his palm.
"Lifesaving sword talisman, lifesaving sword talisman."
As the trio noticed his action, Lu Xuan explained softly.
Feng Yu and the others looked puzzled:
Are you planning to save your life that many times?
