Chapter 345: Crossing Souls Incense, Resentful Spirit Mud

A dark yellow stick of incense, emanating the fragrance of a Buddhist statue, a piece of amorphous black mud from which resentful spirits occasionally surged, and a vigorously green small sword.

During this period, he had visited the Scripture Pavilion several times, perusing various scriptures and materials, and found the origins of the incense and black mud.

The incense was called Crossing Souls Incense, a fourth-grade treasure. Collected and refined by Buddhist monks from the incense offerings of countless believers, it could calm the mind and soothe lingering spirits and grievances.

When cultivating, lighting the incense could also prevent demonic intrusions and maintain an excellent state of cultivation.

The black mud was called Resentful Spirit Mud, a fifth-grade spiritual soil. It contained rich resentment and could be used to cultivate certain sinister spiritual plants and refine corresponding artifacts.

Lu Xuan casually tried it with a leftover spirit seed of Devil's Ephemera Grass, planting it in the resentful spirit mud. The spirit seed was quickly overwhelmed by the resentment inside and became useless.

"A fifth-grade special spiritual soil, but unfortunately, it's temporarily unusable. There are also no suitable spiritual plants to grow in the resentful spirit mud."

Previously, he had obtained a third-grade Primordial Water in the Blessed Land, which Lu Xuan spread on the surface of the spiritual field in his cave dwelling, promoting the growth of most spiritual plants.

Although the resentful spirit mud in front of him was two grades higher, it had great limitations and could only be used on a few special spiritual plants.

Among the three treasures, only the origin of the small green sword was not found. Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry and inserted it into the scabbard of the Ancient Sword to nurture it.

Unlike the previous Purple Thunder Sword and Wind Thunder Sword, which would often discharge thunderbolts upon insertion, the small green sword instead continuously nourished the ancient scabbard. With its suitable size, it was readily accepted by the scabbard, which usually disliked being entered by flying swords.

In the room, the dark yellow incense burned quietly, forming a smiling Buddha image from its smoke, exuding a rich and long-lasting fragrance.

Lu Xuan sat quietly on a jade stone cushion, circulating the spiritual liquid in his dantian, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to cultivate the Grand Five Elements.

Suddenly, his spiritual sense detected a disturbance coming from the flow light formation at the foot of the mountain.

He opened his eyes, a crack appearing along his palm lines, and then a gray-white eye pupil emerged from the crack.

Through the view provided by the Void Nightmare Eye, he saw a white jade ape and an elegant white phoenix bird heading towards the mountainside.

"It turns out to be old friends."

The two spiritual beasts were descendants of the guardian beasts of the Sky Sword Sect, namely the White Jade Heavenly Ape and the Profound White Phoenix.

Lu Xuan hadn't seen these two young elites for three years, and he also missed them a little. He opened the formation and drifted out like a wisp of white smoke.

"Welcome, welcome, long time no see, I've missed you so much."

He arrived at the mountainside, warmly greeting the two spiritual beasts.

The white phoenix bird chirped, seeming to blame Lu Xuan for taking so long to find him.

The white jade ape, with skin as translucent as jade, hid behind the phoenix bird, peeking out its small head. A cluster of pure white hair adorned its head, adding a touch of mystique to it.

"I received a task to guard the sect, went on a long journey, and just returned to the sect recently."

Lu Xuan explained with a smile. Both spiritual beasts possessed high intelligence, so there was no need to worry about them not understanding.

"Long time no see, have you missed my spirit fruits and spirit brews, as well as roasted demon beast meat?"

Lu Xuan looked at the two spiritual beasts with a half-smile, testing the waters.

"Chirp chirp!"

The Profound White Phoenix chirped excitedly, nodding repeatedly to show agreement.

The agile white jade ape emerged from behind the phoenix bird, blinking its fiery red crystal-clear eyes, nodded gently, and then retreated behind the phoenix's wings.

After Lu Xuan left, the two spiritual beasts would occasionally visit the mountain peak where Lu Xuan resided, mainly because they longed for the spirit fruit banquet he often held.

In the sect, although the cultivators who raised them were attentive, the fruits had never changed. Eating them day after day for ten years had made them tasteless, devoid of any flavor.

But here with Lu Xuan, the quality of the spirit fruits was excellent, with a rich variety. The nectar of a hundred fruits had a unique taste, coupled with various delicacies made from demon beast meat and special desserts, allowing them to fully enjoy the pleasures of food.

For Lu Xuan, they had even developed a certain degree of dependency.

"Come, let's start with the Ice and Fire Dual Heaven Spirit Fruits to whet your appetite."

Lu Xuan waved his hand, and a large number of Flame Fruits and Ice Gourd Fruits floated out from his storage bag, forming a small mountain of spiritual fruits.

He then poured cups of Hundred-Fruit Spirit Nectar for the two guardian spirit beasts and his own spirit beast.

"Try some specialties I brought from out of town, dried Empty Abyss Spirit Fish processed with special techniques."

He took out an exquisite jade box containing Empty Abyss Spirit Fish processed in various ways. Some were smoked with unknown spiritual wood, emitting a rich aroma that made one's mouth water.

"Wait a moment, I'll grill some fresh ones."

Some of the Empty Abyss Spirit Fish meat had been frozen with hundred-year cold ice, unaffected in texture. When taken out, it was as fresh as if just slaughtered.

Before long, he took out the grilled spirit fish, divided them into several portions, and placed them in front of the spirit beasts.

The spirit fish itself was delicious and rich in spiritual energy. After being grilled with various spices by Lu Xuan, its deliciousness reached a whole new level.

The White Jade Sky-Prop Atlas Ape and the Mysterious White Sky Luan, along with his own spirit beast, all enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

"Let's have some Enchanting Spirit Peaches to refresh our palates, but although these spiritual fruits are delicious, they shouldn't be eaten in excess."

Lu Xuan took out several pink Enchanting Spirit Peaches, cut them into small pieces, and handed them to the spirit beasts.

According to the information obtained from the Enchanting Spirit Peaches earlier, eating too many of them could enhance the eater's charm, combined with the miasma that affects desire during the cultivation process.

Lu Xuan was afraid that if he took out too many Enchanting Spirit Peaches, it would lead to effects like armor or feathers exploding on these spirit beasts.

Thinking of the chaotic scene of the beasts fighting each other, Lu Xuan couldn't help but shudder and drove the image out of his mind.

"That scene is too beautiful, I dare not think about it."

He nervously watched the many spirit beasts, fearing that the situation would get out of control.

Fortunately, there were not many Enchanting Spirit Peaches, and the spirit beasts only felt the deliciousness of the spiritual fruits without any other thoughts.

After the Enchanting Spirit Peaches were eaten, seeing that nothing unusual had happened, Lu Xuan finally felt completely relieved.

"Do you two usually leave the sect?"

After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Xuan casually asked.

"We can leave, but the distance is limited, and we can't be away for too long."

The White Sky Luan chirped crisply, conveying a thought to Lu Xuan.

"I may need your help with something in a few years. I hope you can assist me then."

Lu Xuan said solemnly. With so much food and friendship established between Lu Xuan and the two spirit beasts, when they heard Lu Xuan's request, they all nodded heavily.

The White Jade Sky-Prop Atlas Ape seemed to sense a coming battle, and a hint of obscure excitement flashed in its shy eyes. It pointed to the back of its head, indicating that Lu Xuan could stimulate the hair it had given him at that time.

A long time ago, the little monkey had given Lu Xuan a pure white hair and said that as long as the hair's spiritual power was activated within a certain range, it could arrive at the fastest speed.

Seeing the two beasts' promise, Lu Xuan felt a bit more confident in dealing with the hidden cultivator behind the scenes who had plotted against the Holy Infant Fruit Seedling.
