Chapter 317: Gathering Spirit Essence
"Five-grade artifact!"
Lu Xuan exclaimed.
This was the highest-grade treasure he had opened from the light orb.
"According to the information, the Gluttonous Insect Pouch is a spatial-type artifact, an advanced version of the third-grade Life-Sustaining Bag."
The Life-Sustaining Bag was only third-grade, and although it could slow the decline of vitality for fourth-grade and even fifth-grade spiritual plants and beasts, its effectiveness was not particularly good.
Now, with this five-grade Gluttonous Insect Pouch, it was a perfect replacement.
"It can also be refined into a magical treasure. After refining it successfully, perhaps I can obtain some of the Gluttonous Insect's related divine abilities."
Lu Xuan had browsed through numerous books in the scripture pavilion before and had some understanding of the Gluttonous Insect.
The Gluttonous Insect was an ancient exotic beast, carrying the bloodline of gluttony and possessing the ability to devour all things in the world.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
"Unfortunately, refining magical treasures requires Foundation Establishment cultivation base. For now, it can only be used as an extra-large storage bag."
Lu Xuan said somewhat regretfully.
The fourth-grade Profound Insect Vine could increase the success rate of demon beasts advancing to the fifth grade. He decided to temporarily keep it for future use.
After harvesting the Profound Insect Vine, Lu Xuan continued to stay in the courtyard, spending his days with spiritual plants and beasts.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed on the Empty Abyss Island, and everything remained calm and peaceful. There were no attacks from sea beasts or intrusion of evil spirits. After the Blood-Congealing Yin Insect incident, the expected scene of powerful evil cultivators did not appear.
Such a calm and peaceful life made him feel as comfortable as a fish in water.
On this day, Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu, two acquaintances, came to visit Lu Xuan's small courtyard.
"Lu friend, I really don't understand why you spend all day tending to these spiritual plants. Can it compare to the wonderful feeling of fishing for Azure-Horned Dragon Carps?"
"The moment when the Dragon Carp is hooked, even if it's killing a strong enemy or obtaining an opportunity, it cannot be compared to it."
As soon as Shi Zhong entered the courtyard, he complained to Lu Xuan.
He had invited Lu Xuan to go fishing in the sea several times recently, but Lu Xuan had politely declined each time, leaving him somewhat resentful.
Lu Xuan thought to himself with a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
"People have their own preferences. Brother Shi enjoys fishing for sea beasts, while I prefer to cultivate flowers, plants, birds, insects, and fish."
"Moreover, the joy of farming is beyond your imagination."
He added in his mind.
"There is another matter. Lu friend, you previously asked us to inquire about the third-grade spiritual essence. We have some results."
"We found three places that may contain third-grade spiritual essence. Two of them have not been verified, but one place can be confirmed to have the Gathering Spirit Essence."
"Oh? Where exactly is it? Could you tell me?"
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"It's on a nameless small island deep in the boundless sea, about two to three thousand miles away from this archipelago. There are several second-grade sea beasts distributed on the island."
"If Lu friend has time, you can accompany us to explore the island, hunt demons, and obtain treasures together. With the cultivation base of three Foundation Establishment cultivators from major sects, success is almost guaranteed."
Shi Zhong said confidently.
"Well..."
A hesitant expression flickered across Lu Xuan's face.
"To be honest, during the previous Blood-Congealing Yin Insect incident, there was a queen insect comparable to an early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Therefore, I suspect that there are powerful evil cultivators lurking on this archipelago. Therefore, I have decided to avoid going out as much as possible recently."
"So, I can only wait for the next opportunity to obtain the Gathering Spirit Essence."
"Lu friend, you are indeed too cautious. How can such a mentality allow you to advance in your cultivation? How can you compete with other cultivators for opportunities?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhong said somewhat helplessly.
"Even if we encounter evil cultivators or evil
spirits, with the strength of the three of us, it is more likely that they will be the unlucky ones."
"I'm just an ordinary spiritual plant master who was fortunate enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Whether it's techniques, talismans, or artifacts, they are all quite ordinary, so I can only proceed cautiously."
Lu Xuan said self-deprecatingly.
"Brother Shi, everyone has their own aspirations. It's futile to force them."
Beside him, Zhou Bingyu spoke lightly.
Although the two didn't understand Lu Xuan's thoughts and behavior, they didn't force him to explore the secrets or search for treasures.
"Brother Shi and Sister Zhou are both highly skilled in cultivation and possess numerous treasures. Without my burden, hunting sea beasts will be easier."
"How about this, both of you can go explore the island together. If you obtain the Gathering Spirit Essence, I'll exchange it with you for something."
Lu Xuan's hand quietly appeared a mottled green gourd.
