Chapter 389: Lifesaving Sword Talisman

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.

"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?
