The Demon Ghost Vine extended a light gray vine in front of Lu Xuan, nodding in a remarkably human-like manner.
"Good, lead the way ahead."
To capture the intense interest of a fifth-grade Demon Ghost Vine, it had to be no ordinary spiritual species. Considering the vine's keen sensitivity to spiritual species, Lu Xuan didn't hesitate to let it guide the way.
Within the blessed land, demonic beasts were cleared periodically, and those entering the blessed land were all fellow disciples. Moreover, there was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator overseeing and monitoring the blessed land. The likelihood of encountering danger was minimal.
After a moment, he reached the innermost part of the herb garden, facing a tall stone wall with a small door adorned with intricate runes.
The light gray vine pointed in the direction of the small door, shaking with excitement.
Lu Xuan approached the door, finding only simple seals on it. A jade seal enlarged continuously until it matched the size of the door, unleashing a forceful impact when it finally descended.
On the door, runes shimmered, resisting the violent intrusion of the jade seal.
In an instant, the door shattered into more than ten pieces.
Lu Xuan held the Purple Thunder Sword in one hand and the Howling Sea Sword Talisman of fourth grade in the other, gradually stepping inside.
Guided by the Demon Ghost Vine sapling, he took a few turns and pushed open a heavy stone door.
A wave of scorching heat hit him, revealing a world of flames.
The ground was covered with neatly arranged crimson stone slabs, and the walls were constructed of fiery red spirit wood. Numerous firebirds of varying forms danced in the air, their flame wings causing tiny flames to fall and merge into the crimson slabs.
At the top of the palace, a huge fire cloud shrouded the entire building, with an illusionary pair of red phoenixes occasionally visible within. Their red feathers bore faint golden patterns, and fiery flames surrounded them.
Lu Xuan keenly noticed a piece of charred wood floating in the fire cloud, seemingly inconspicuous but always within a certain range of the illusory phoenixes.
"This is the high-grade spiritual species that the Demon Ghost Vine sapling discovered."
Sensing the eager mood of the Demon Ghost Vine sapling in his sleeve, Lu Xuan could probably confirm that this charred wood was the high-grade spiritual species it had sensed.
However, Lu Xuan didn't want to reveal it. He glanced at the opposite side of the palace where three fellow disciples were staring at him with surprise.
Among them, one had a handsome appearance, holding a peculiar flying sword. The sword was slender and numerous, decreasing in quantity as they went upward, resembling a peacock's display.
There was also a female cultivator in luxurious robes exuding an air of grace.
The remaining one had an ordinary appearance, but his gaze was extremely sharp, like a sword edge.
Among the three, the ordinary-looking youth had a cultivation level in the early Foundation Establishment stage, while the other two were in the mid Foundation Establishment stage.
"Hello, senior brothers and senior sister, I'm Lu Xuan."
"Apologies for intruding. Did I cause any trouble for you, senior brothers and senior sister?" Lu Xuan, who usually kept a low profile, greeted them respectfully.
He casually glanced at the strange flying sword in the hands of the handsome youth, recalling the Inner Sect disciple he had encountered in the market wielding a flying sword named "Sword Peacock."
"Lu junior brother, we just entered this palace not long ago. Naturally, there haven't been any troubles caused by junior brother."
The handsome youth smiled sincerely, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.
"Excuse me for being rude, but how did junior brother Lu enter this palace? If junior brother is willing to share, we would like to know," the elegant woman asked. They had made many preparations and spent a lot of time breaking through various restrictions to enter this palace. The fact that Lu Xuan, who was only in the early Foundation Establishment stage, entered easily aroused their curiosity.
"I originally intended to pick some Demon Ghost Vines in the herb garden. Unexpectedly, I walked deeper, and in the end, I found a small door."
"The door had a relatively simple seal. After trying various methods, I managed to break through it and, in a daze, entered this palace where I met the three senior brothers and senior sister."
Lu Xuan vaguely explained, not wanting to admit that he had followed the guidance of a newly born Demon Ghost Vine sapling.
Upon hearing this, the three became somewhat speechless for a moment. They had gone through great lengths and brainstormed to enter the palace, not expecting there was such a shortcut in the herb garden, allowing easy access.
"Junior brother Lu's luck is indeed good. Admire, admire."
The handsome youth smiled and said, exuding a warm and pleasant feeling.
"Junior brother, forgive my impoliteness. I wonder how junior brother managed to enter this palace? We spent a lot of time and effort breaking through various restrictions back at the sect to get here. It's quite a surprise that junior brother Lu entered so easily," the elegant woman asked. They had made many preparations and spent a lot of time breaking through various restrictions to enter this palace. The fact that Lu Xuan, who was only in the early Foundation Establishment stage, entered easily aroused their curiosity.
"I originally wanted to pick some Demon Ghost Vines in the herb garden. Unexpectedly, as I went deeper, I found a small door."
"The door had a relatively simple seal. After trying various methods, I managed to break through it and, in a daze, entered this palace where I met the three senior brothers and senior sister."
Lu Xuan half-truthfully and ambiguously replied. He couldn't admit that he had followed the guidance of a newly born Demon Ghost Vine sapling.
Upon hearing this, the three were somewhat stunned. They had gone through great lengths and brainstorming to enter the palace, not expecting there was such a shortcut in the herb garden, allowing easy access.
"Junior brother Lu's luck is indeed good. Admire, admire."
The handsome youth smiled sincerely.
"Please forgive me for being impolite. Junior brother, do you know the origin of the pair of fire phoenixes in the cloud above? Could senior brother enlighten junior brother?" Lu Xuan pretended not to notice the abnormality of the charred wood in the fierce fire and curiously asked.
"Those fire phoenixes are extremely rare spiritual beast souls. There are also many high-grade fire-element ores and spirit woods in the palace. If junior brother is interested, you can collect some more. After leaving the blessed land, you can exchange them for many valuable items."
"I see."
Lu Xuan nodded, indicating his understanding.
Seeing this, the three exchanged glances, a hint of satisfaction in the corners of their eyes.
Although Lu Xuan, with his early Foundation Establishment cultivation, posed no threat to them in acquiring treasures, they were afraid that he might coincidentally obtain the charred wood. Thus, the less Lu Xuan knew, the more advantageous it would be for them.
"Since junior brother accidentally entered this place, let's work together to get some benefits from it."
"I'm just an ordinary spiritual plant cultivator with average cultivation and no expertise in combat. I hope
senior brothers and senior sister can go easy on me, so I can get a share of the spoils."
Lu Xuan earnestly said.
"Haha, junior brother, you are too modest. Treasures come to those with destiny. Although junior brother's cultivation is weaker, you might attract the favor of treasures and gain tremendous opportunities!"
The handsome youth laughed heartily.
The other two also smiled, and Lu Xuan's sudden entrance disrupted their plans. Still, after realizing that his cultivation was not even as strong as the ordinary youth among them, they felt relieved.
The handsome youth's Sword Peacock instantly expanded to its maximum size, emitting endless sword intent. The elegant woman revealed a crescent moon behind her, exuding a cold and icy light that danced around her. The ordinary young cultivator tightly gripped a huge black sword, its surface adorned with mysterious and obscure patterns that occasionally flashed with a dark light.
"Growl!"
Sensing the looming hostility from below, a pair of fire phoenixes in the fire cloud above let out clear cries that echoed through the hall. In mid-air, numerous firebirds fluttered with flames, filling every corner as the entire palace instantly became extremely hot.
The Demon Ghost Vine sapling in Lu Xuan's sleeve quietly retreated, kept hidden under his Concealing Spirit Robe. It slowly approached his chest, calming down under the nourishing cool aura of the Pure Snow Lotus.
