Chapter 430: Chapter 428 Fat Bird Starts to Grow Up_1
“Such is the paradise away from the world.”
Lu Xuan put an ancient, mottled bronze array plate in his storage bag, feeling the surrounding spiritual energy that was pure to the extreme, and couldn’t help but sigh.
Stimulated by the pure spiritual energy in the Secret Land, he felt that his internal spiritual power was much more active.
With the help of the transmission array in the Array Hall, and after paying a sum of spirit stones, he smoothly arrived in this incomplete secret realm that belonged to him alone.
“Ying, ying, ying.”
While walking leisurely in the Secret Land, a faint humming sound came to his ears.
Lu Xuan turned his head to see a small figure flying out from behind a lush spirit tree. Its body was light green and it had almost transparent thin wings on its back, emitting a natural and refreshing spiritual aura.
This was a Wood Demon Spirit, a unique product exclusive to the Secret Land, which naturally promoted the growth of the Spiritual Plant.
The petite and cute creature seemed extremely familiar with Lu Xuan, flying affectionately around him.
Lu Xuan released a thin thread of Qingmu Origin Energy from his fingertip, feeding it to the adorable creature.
After that, he swiftly swept through the Secret Land, inspecting the spiritual plants planted all around.
Naturally, his biggest concern was the highest-ranked, sixth-rank Phoenix Tree.
Lu Xuan arrived at the small mountain of flames where two dark golden phoenix illusions were freely soaring amidst the burning flames.
After basking in the flames to their heart’s content and absorbing enough flame spiritual power, their size dramatically shrank and merged into the dark golden cracks of a charred piece of wood.
Even without the nourishment of the Red Lotus Flame, the growth of the Phoenix Tree was still satisfactory.
Lu Xuan then came to the fifth-rank Vajra Bodhi.
Although the Bodhi Spirit Seed hasn’t rooted or sprouted, its vitality has become much stronger than before. The raging King Kong on its surface is even more lifelike – seeming as if it could come to life at any moment.
He took out his Thunder Sound Sword from his storage bag and gently waved it.
A Buddhist Thunder Sound filled with Buddhist power blasted out, and the Buddhist Thunder Sword Qi formed by it swiftly merged into the Vajra Bodhi Spirit Seed.
A faint golden light rippled from within the spirit seed, along with a chant that echoed as if a Buddhist figure was coming to life. It seemed to deter all kinds of demons and ghosts.
“The Thunder Sound Sword can indeed affect the Vajra Bodhi. It was worth selecting it back then.”
Seeing this, Lu Xuan was delighted.
With the Fourth Grade Thunder Sound Sword from the Sword Pool, he doesn’t have to worry too much about the early stage growth of the Vajra Bodhi.
He brought forth several dozen Thunder Sound Sword Qi, thoroughly nourishing the long-starved Vajra Bodhi.
Arriving in front of the Emperor Date, a tiny sprout quietly grew, its delicate and pale yellow leaves swaying gently in the breeze, carrying a rich and pure earthy spiritual aura.
Above the Fallen Thunder Wood, the thunder and lightning energy within the Thunderstone was attracted by the dried wood, and fine tendrils of thunder kept striking down, sinking into the dried wood.
At the depth of the wood, a dreadful thunderous energy was growing and brewing a violent force.
Other things like Sword Nurturing Gourd, Flaming Fruit, Ice Luo Fruit, even without Lu Xuan’s daily careful cultivation, performing methods like Spirit Rain Technique, Wood Birth Technique, their growth was quite good under the influence of the abundant second-hand flying swords and the pure spiritual energy of the Secret Land provided by Lu Xuan early on.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan felt much relieved and took out the Pure and Clear Colored Glaze Tea Spirit Plant from his storage bag.
After sensing the spiritual energy inside the Secret Land, he finally came to the spring eye nearby and planted the tea leaf spirit plant in this area.
Focusing his mind on the Spirit Seed, Lu Xuan noticed that the state of the Spirit Seed was excellent. Threads of clear and spiritual aura slowly seeped into the Spirit Seed, making it enveloped by a faint spiritual light.
“Worthy of being a Secret Land, even the Pure Clear Colored Glaze Tea, which is extremely demanding of spiritual energy, can grow smoothly here.”
Lu Xuan sighed to himself.
The spiritual energy within the Secret Land was originally very rich and pure. Normally, apart from the spirit beasts born from the wood spirit aura, there were no other cultivators or demon beasts.
Thus, there was no scent of flesh and blood, nor were there mundane auras affecting the spiritual energy of the Secret Land. Not to mention the Evil Spite Qi, Yin Qi, Demonic Qi, and all the like.
He circulated the spiritual power within his body, pulling the clean spiritual aura within the Secret Land, gathering it under the spiritual seed, deeply wrapping the whole seed, and nourishing the spiritual seeds to their fullest.
“Hic, hic, hic.”
At some point, five or six Wood Demon Spirits flew near the Pure and Clear Colored Glaze Tea Spirit Plant, greedily inhaling the clean spiritual aura, and a hint of surprise appeared on their green faces.
Lu Xuan was not worried that these small spirits would affect the normal growth of the Pure and Clear Colored Glaze Tea, as they contained a rich and pure Wood Spirit Qi, and were extremely compatible with spiritual plants. They could nourish the spiritual plants invisibly, which is beneficial and harmless to the spiritual plants.
Immediately afterward, he took out the Flood Dragon Bones from his storage bag and threw them into the spring eye filled with the Dark Spring Spiritual Rain.
“It usually takes a long time to taste a drop of third-rank spiritual liquid, but now good, you’re directly placed in the spiritual liquid, allowing you to eat and drink to your full,” he proclaimed.
In the depths of the spring eye, the Flood Dragon Bones slowly exuded three slender black grasses. They swayed in the Dark Spring Spiritual Rain, moving like slender black dragons.
Lu Xuan checked all the status of the growing spiritual plants and did not stay in the Secret Land for long, returning to his cave dwelling.
For a period of time afterward, he basically stayed in the cave, nurturing spiritual plants and raising spirit beasts day after day.
Although it was monotonous and dull, with the anticipation brought by the Light Cluster as motivation, Lu Xuan found it sweet, not feeling a shred of tiredness.
“Farming makes me happy, I love farming.”
These thoughts constantly dominated his mind.
One day, while he was carefully cultivating spiritual plants, a green light suddenly flew to the mountainside.
It was the Fat Bird Wind Falcon returning from playing outside.
After it advanced to a third-rank Demon Beast, in order not to suppress its nature, Lu Xuan allowed it to freely move in the Inner Sect, as long as it returned on time every day.
The Wind Falcon was no longer confined to a corner of the peak and could soar among the mountains freely. It also had spiritual fruits and beasts waiting for it when it came back, leading a carefree and joyful life.
“Huh? It seems to be in a strange mood today?”
From a distance, Lu Xuan noticed the falcon, which hung its head low, appearing somewhat dispirited.
On usual days, it was lively and cheerful. Yet it looked somewhat gloomy today.
He immediately came to the Wind Falcon and sent a thought to the Fat Bird.
“How was your day outside?”
After advancing into a third-rank demon beast, the Wind Falcon’s spiritual intelligence also improved a lot. It chirped and chattered in response.
“I met two of my kind today. They looked so good.”
“Unlike me, who’s so fat with such a big belly. I’m not liked by the other birds at all.”
It conveyed such a thought to Lu Xuan.
“Hmm?”
“Not liked by the other birds at all? What does that mean?”
“Could it be that my Fat Bird, which I’ve raised for many years, has finally grown up?”
A sense of alarm rose in Lu Xuan’s heart, a strange thought flashing through his mind. Subconsciously, he felt like a father whose daughter had been snubbed.
