“Well then, every meeting must end, we would meet again, until then.”

Lu Xuan saluted the Tree Spirit with a cupped fist gesture.

As soon as he entered the Langyue Blessed Land, his greatly depleted Qingmu Origin Energy was replenished, making him extremely cheerful.

Qingmu Origin Energy was of great use to him as a Spirit Plant Master.

It could enhance the self-healing ability of his Flesh Body and the affinity with spirit plants. Most importantly, it could accelerate the growth of Spirit Plants. Previously, he had used the Qingmu Origin Energy to mature the Water Glow Grass he planted, greatly shortening its growth time, and quickly confirming the type of rewards within the Light Cluster.

Although it was pleasing to use, the replenishment was extremely troublesome, requiring the absorption and transformation of massive amounts of plant spiritual energy. Lu Xuan had not found the right opportunity until now, when he finally replenished it.

Seeing that Lu Xuan wanted to leave, the Tree Spirit’s blurry features muttered a few words, and having had the experience of feeding it, Lu Xuan immediately perceived its thoughts.

The Tree Spirit’s blurry features disappeared instantaneously. Soon, a deep black branch drilled out from dozens of meters underground, curling up a few deep green logs, and moved quickly towards them.

“Is this the gift you want to give me?”

Lu Xuan curiously asked.

The Tree Spirit’s features blended into the branch, and it nodded.

Lu Xuan used his spiritual power to accept the five deep green logs. The surface of the logs was filled with flickering spiritual light, and the bottom had ring patterns, indicating their age.

“Thank you.”

He let his spiritual power sweep over the five logs and then put them into a spare Storage Bag.

Then, he bid farewell to the Tree Spirit, his figure transformed into a wisp of green smoke, and passed through the towering trees.

The Tree Spirit followed closely. Its blurry features appeared on different branches, and its green-black eyes were full of reluctance.

It had been in this ancient forest for a long time, and this was the first time it had encountered a cultivator who would feed it such delicious spiritual energy. Such behavior from the Tree Spirit gave Lu Xuan a slight feeling of guilt, but it vanished as soon as it appeared.

“It’s nothing more than a mutual need.”

He thought to himself and waved his hand to the Tree Spirit following him.

“I’ll come to see you next time.”

“And take some more plant spiritual energy.”

He added another sentence in his heart.

Before he left, he asked the Tree Spirit for directions. Under its guidance, he rushed in one direction.

“Finally got out of this forest.”

Half an hour later, standing outside the ancient woods, Lu Xuan looked at the dense forest in front of him and sighed with emotion.

During this time, he encountered a few faint thoughts peering in, which should be from Tree Spirits of other areas in the forest.

Lu Xuan had already replenished his Qingmu Origin Energy, and he had no particular thoughts about the Tree Spirits which had home-field advantage. He directly left.

He randomly chose a direction and swiftly flew past dozens of miles, eventually encountering two fellow apprentices.

He had met one of them before.

“Brother Qian, please wait.”

He called out from afar to a short young man.

The young man was named Qian Dinghong and he was also at the Foundation Establishment First-term stage, but he had broken through twenty to thirty years earlier than Lu Xuan. Their respective mountain peaks were only a few dozen miles apart, so they were somewhat acquainted.

“So it’s Junior Brother Lu.”

Qian Dinghong and another person waited for Lu Xuan to approach and then greeted with a smile.

“This is Brother Deng Yi, who is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base.”

“This is Junior Brother Lu Xuan, who is very proficient in the path of spiritual plants.”

Qian Dinghong introduced the two.

“Didn’t expect to see you here in the sword array, Junior Brother Lu.”

After a few small talks, Qian Dinghong said with a sigh.

“Just happened to have a sword command on me, so I came in to join the fun and see if I could find some rare spirit seeds.”

Lu Xuan laughed and explained.

“Junior Brother Lu, it seems you just came from the direction of the ancient forest? Encountered any beast?”

Deng Yi asked out of curiosity.

“Yes. I was unfortunate and fell into that forest. Thankfully, I didn’t go too deep into it.”

“On my way out, I encountered a Tree Spirit, but I didn’t tangle much with it. I was only thinking of leaving the forest.”

Lu Xuan casually mentioned.

“Your choice was correct, Junior Brother Lu. Those Tree Spirits are cunning. They can disappear and flee into the ancient trees. They have a natural advantage in the forest, making them extremely difficult to confront.”

“Only sometimes would sect members venture into it to catch one for cultivating their formula methods. But to do so would require at least several cultivators at the Foundation Establishment First-term Stage, or a cultivator above the Foundation Establishment Mid-term Stage.”

“Apart from this, occasionally, one could unearth centennial ancient wood hearts in the ancient woods, which are good materials for refining artifacts.” Deng Yi gave a detailed explanation to Lu Xuan.

He and Qian Dinghong glanced at each other and seemed to come to an agreement in an instant.

“Junior Brother Lu, do you have any pressing matters right now?”

Qian Dinghong suddenly asked Lu Xuan.

“I go with the flow, moving from place to place, trying to find opportunities to get a few spirit seeds.”

Lu Xuan answered in a carefree manner.

“How about hunting a certain demon beast with us?”

“The demon beast is a Double-headed Armadillo, a third-grade beast. It has scale armor which can be used to forge defensive magic artifacts.”

“The double-headed Armadillo is very good at Earth Escape. If you are not careful, it will burrow into the mountains. Its body is covered in hard scales that are as tough as iron, making it tough to break through with ordinary means.”

“The reason we are here is that we managed to get information on the whereabouts of the Double-headed Armadillo from a fellow Foundation Establishment mid-term Item Refiner after paying a high price. We wanted to see if we could hunt a few so we could forge some pieces of top-notch armor.” “For this purpose, we intentionally borrowed magical talismans capable of restraining the Armadillo’s Earth Escape ability. However, one person needs to constantly control the magic artifact, leaving us lacking in offensive power. Just as we looked at our predicament, we met you, Junior Brother Lu. We know you are reliable, so we wanted to invite you to join us and we can share the rewards equally.”

Qian Dinghong explained to Lu Xuan, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“So this Double-headed Armadillo is adept at burrowing into the earth. It sounds elusive. How do you two plan on trapping and hunting it?”

Lu Xuan asked in confusion.

“The Double-headed Armadillo feeds on Fine Iron Ore and usually dwells in areas with rare spirit soils. It’s nourished by the energy of the soil spirit. We’ve prepared a piece of fourth-grade spirit ore this time and plan to set a trap around it, which should be enough to lure the Double-headed Armadillo.” “Usually dwells in rare spirit soil areas?”

Lu Xuan caught a key piece of information.

“Does that mean… the area where the Double-headed Armadillo Demon Beast lives contains a lot of rare and exotic spirit soil?”

He thought to himself, feeling a little interested.

As the grade of the spiritual plants he cultivated grew higher, the conditions required for their growth became more complex. For example, the fifth-grade Holy Baby Fruit that he had received earlier could only thrive in Yin Spirit Soils to maintain a good growth speed.

After learning about the habits of the Double-headed Armadillo Demon Beast, Lu Xuan found himself more interested.

“Alright, since both of you have graciously invited me, I’ll join you in hunting the Double-headed Armadillo.”

After understanding all the details about the Double-headed Armadillo Demon Beast, Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.

The trio flew quickly and arrived in front of a tall, desolate Stone Mountain.

“This is the place.”

Deng Yi whispered and took out a light purple ore the size of a fist from his storage bag.
