Lu Xuan adjusted his stance and descended securely from high in the sky.
What greeted his eyes was a vista of lush greenery – all around, sky-reaching spirit trees towered, countless deep green vines intertwined, and delicate, petite green fairies occasionally fluttered through them.
As he breathed, a refreshing spiritual energy flowed into him through his nose and mouth. Once it integrated into his body, he could feel every single muscle being purified by the refreshing spiritual energy, and life flourished within him vibrantly like never before.
“This place is the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, a small secret realm controlled by our sect, used for cultivating certain rare high-grade spiritual plants and spirit beasts.”
While Lu Xuan was observing, Brother Ge had silently appeared behind him, a smile playing on his face.
“Brother Ge.”
Lu Xuan bowed his head in salute and greeted him.
“Junior Brother Lu, it’s been a tough journey for you to come here. Brother Yang should have already explained the specific situation to you on the way.”
“Please accompany me to the dwelling and recovery place of the Green Xuan Deer.”
“Please lead the way, Brother Ge.”
Lu Xuan said gravely, because it involved the sect’s fifth-grade spirit beast and the Jindan Cultivators, he couldn’t afford any frivolity.
He and Yang Qingfeng followed Brother Ge, swiftly arriving at their destination.
Brother Ge led Lu Xuan to the front of the two Golden Core real people, Gu Jian Kong and Lei Su.
“Junior Brother Lu, these are Uncle Master Gu and Uncle Master Lei. Uncle Masters, this is the Junior Brother Lu Xuan I mentioned.”
Brother Ge introduced them to each other.
Lei Su’s gaze swept over Lu Xuan’s body, and Lu Xuan immediately felt as if he had been seen through completely. Despite only having four eyes, the majesty exuded far surpassed that of the weird, many-eyed Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.
He nodded indifferently at Lu Xuan.
The handsome young man beside him let a warm smile grace his face, speaking gently.
“I had never expected Junior Nephew Lu to be so young. Later, we will need to rely on you, Nephew, to help check the location of the Green Xuan Deer’s obsession.”
“I will do my utmost.”
Lu Xuan responded gravely.
At this moment, several fellow sect members within the Foundation Establishment realm already surrounded the barely breathing Green Xuan Deer, their expressions solemn as they carefully observed the slumbering giant deer.
“Several disciples have profound knowledge in nurturing spirit beasts. Today, I invited you all here to see if we can find the cause of the Green Xuan Deer’s obsession and resolve it.”
The handsome young man Gu Jian Kong spoke gently from one side.
Lu Xuan and the other five exchanged glances, deciding to take turns examining the giant deer.
A quiet, fair-skinned girl was the first to step forward.
She let her hands hover over the deer’s grass-like fur, sending out two soft white lights that slowly infiltrated the deer’s body.
“That’s Junior Sister Liu. She has an extraordinary talent in healing spirit beasts, and many of the injured or contaminated spirit beasts in the sect were treated by her.”
The woman with a head full of indigo hair stood behind Gu Jian Kong and Lei Su, introducing quietly.
Gu Jian Kong gave a barely perceptible nod, indicating his understanding.
A moment later, a dim white light seeped out from the deer’s body, returning to bother girl’s hands.
She came back to the group, her mouth closed tightly as she shook her head.
“I have checked every part of the Green Xuan Deer’s body. Besides a great degeneration of the body’s functions, I didn’t find any other hidden illnesses or signs of demon envoy contamination.”
“As for that obsession, I understand it even less. Only the heart’s medicine can heal the heart’s disease.”
“Thankyou, Junior Nephew Liu.”
Gu Jian Kong said to the quiet, fair-skinned girl with a smile, no sign of disappointment showing on his face.
Next, three more fellow sect members within the Foundation Establishment realm stepped forward to check.
Despite each having their unique abilities in dealing with spirit beasts, after a detailed examination, none of them discovered anything unusual.
Following that, a tall and sturdy cultivator strode to the front of the Green Xuan deer.
The cultivator bared his upper body, his muscles bulging, his chest and back covered with various odd patterns.
The patterns subtly shifted, forming images of different spirit beasts that seemed to jump out of his skin at any moment.
Anticipation flashed in Gu Jian Kong’s eyes.
He knew quite a bit about this brawny cultivator, having interacted with him a fair bit during their Foundation Establishment period.
The cultivator was at the late-term of the Foundation Establishment, skilled in communicating and taming Spirit Beasts, but kept a low profile within the sect’s walls, hence he was not well-known.
He moved in front of the Green Xuan Deer, his lips continuously moving, unknowingly perhaps communicating with the animal.
The giant deer struggled, opened its eyes and took a look at the tall, burly cultivator, then weakly closed them again, devoid of any response to the cultivator’s words.
After a long while, seeing no effect, the tall and burly cultivator, remaining unfazed, came over to Gu Jian Kong and the others.
“I communicated with the Spirit Beast, the Green Xuan Deer, for quite some time. I vaguely understood that it has a great regret. As for the specific reason for this regret, that’s unclear.”
“Perhaps, only the sect senior who once fought to tame it could understand where its obsession lies.”
On hearing this, Gu Jian Kong simply nodded without showing any grief or joy.
“So it is, please Nephew Shi, take a moment to rest.”
The series of failures didn’t really disappoint him.
Lei Su, who was on the side, remained expressionless, showing no signs of mocking.
Out of the six people, only Lu Xuan, who had the lowest cultivation level, was left.
He arrived in front of the true disciple in charge of the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.
“Senior Sister Xu, could you please give me a tiny piece of the Spirit Fruit that the Green Xuan Deer normally eats? I want to try feeding it to shorten our distance.”
To understand the regret of the Green Xuan Deer, one must undergo the ‘feeding’ process, so he randomly created an excuse and told this to the female cultivator.
The female cultivator nodded, and a faint green Spirit Fruit fell into Lu Xuan’s hand.
“The Green Xuan Deer is at the end of its life, its appetite greatly reduced, a single Spirit Fruit is already enough.”
Lu Xuan respectfully thanked her, went in front of the Green Xuan Deer lying in the giant net of vines, moved to its front, and gently put the Spirit Fruit into its slightly open mouth.
Feeling the Spiritual Power on the Spirit Fruit, the giant deer struggled to swallow it into its stomach.
Lu Xuan’s consciousness concentrated on the Green Xuan Deer’s body, and suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
[Green Xuan Deer, Five-grade Spirit Beast, the Guardian Beast of the Sky Sword Sect, has a natural affinity for wood Spiritual Power. During its growing phase, it automatically masters high-grade wood Formula Methods, able to accelerate the growth of Spirit Plants.]
[Its lifespan is on the brink of exhaustion, it has an obsession.]
[When will I be able to taste your handmade Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice again?]
One after the other, these deep ideas turned into substantial images, appearing within Lu Xuan’s mind.
A small Green Xuan Deer was curled up in a ball, naively afraid, as it watched the scholarly cultivator who had just saved it from the mouth of a beast.
“Little guy, are your injuries getting better? Try some of my handmade Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, it’s my secret recipe.”
The Green Xuan Deer grew bigger and bigger, running happily within the sect daily, with Spirit Plants growing wildly under its hooves.
“Not bad, not bad, I didn’t expect you to be this good at cultivating Spirit Plants. Here, have a reward of the freshly made Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice.”
Before they knew it, the Green Xuan Deer had become the Guardian Beast of the sect.
“This time, I have to go on a long trip. You stay here and look over the secret realm. When I return, I will make some more Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice for you, so you can eat your fill.”
Perhaps due to the depth of the deer’s obsession, Lu Xuan, who usually only perceives simple thoughts, was now able to see clear images.
He paused for a moment, then said to the black-haired female cultivator.
“Senior Sister Xu, I need the following Spirit Fruits…”
One after the other, the Spirit Fruits were quickly delivered to Lu Xuan. He accurately measured out the right proportions according to the memories from the images, added a special brew of the Spiritual Liquid, and kept pounding away.
In the end, a bowl of sweet-smelling Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice appeared in his hand.
He carefully brought it to the Green Xuan Deer.
As if sensing the familiar taste deep in its memories, the Green Xuan Deer’s fur, that looked like weeds, gradually became glossy and smooth. It struggled to get up.
“Lie down quietly, I will feed you.”
A vague and gentle voice echoed in its ears.
Soon, a mouthful of fragrant Spiritual Juice entered its mouth, circulated through its limbs and body, nourishing every part of its body.
In its haze, it saw a familiar figure crouching in front of it, smiling, tenderly feeding it the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice.
It seemed as if an old friend was present.
