Chapter 554: Chapter 552: The Sect’s Spirit Plant is about to Mature_1

A thought flashed through his mind, and a dark petite arrow appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.

Black mist entwined around the petite arrow, lingering incessantly as if it had life of its own, continually moving. The arrowhead seed to be nailed into a semi-transparent face, the features of which were blurred and indistinguishable.

Lu Xuan’s spirit focused on the dark petite arrow and instantly gained detailed information about it.

[Nail-head Arrow, Fifth Rank Treasure, a powerful evil curse is condensed on it. When used, one can imagine the appearance and breath of the opponent, directly affecting their soul.]

[Those of the sa rank or below will directly die, those of the sa rank have a certain probability of death, light injury will damage the Divine Soul, severe injury will result in the scattering of soul.]

“A cursed class artifact, directly killing the opponent… it has a sense of cause and effect.”

“rely with your imagination, even at a distance, you can cast curses which can cause the opponent’s soul to disperse. This is indeed a treacherous person’s treasure.”

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth.

“Yet another Fifth Rank Treasure, harvesting from these light clusters is so simple and joyful!”

He put the dark petite arrow into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and continued to cultivate the remaining three mature arrow vines.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. Lu Xuan tenderly nurtured the Spirit Plants in his courtyard, then ventured outside.

He noticed that the atmosphere in Black Star City recently seed off; he kept hearing news of cultivators dying or getting injured, and occasionally, news of cultivators gaining great opportunities, and ascending rapidly.

“Brother Lu, Brother Lu! I didn’t expect to run into you here!”

A familiar elderly voice sounded from afar.

Lu Xuan looked in the direction of the voice, it was indeed Sun Yun Ming, with whom he had previously patrolled outside the city.

Behind him were the other two familiar teammates, Qiu Changyuan from the Ten Thousand Beast Gate, and ng Yue from Lingxiao Sect.

“Friend Sun, and Friends Qiu and ng, it’s been a long ti.”

Lu Xuan greeted them with a smile.

“Brother Lu, we were just about to go to your residence to find you, and it turned out we unexpectedly ran into you here.”

ng Yue ca forward, speaking with a smile.

Qiu Changyuan looked at Lu Xuan with a similarly warm expression.

“I wonder what matters Friends Qiu, ng, and Sun have that require my assistance?”

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

“Actually…”

Sun Yun Ming began to explain.

“Recently, I’ve heard that a number of cultivators have gained great opportunities at various places in the Black Demon Abyss, so even obtaining Fifth Rank Treasures.”

His eyes flashed with a hint of fervor.

“Last ti, our collaboration was very smooth, our friends are all cultivators from Great Sects, with strong abilities, I might be a little weaker in cultivation level, but I am familiar with the vicinity of the Black Demon Abyss.”

“Hence, I am nurturing the idea of exploring deeper into the Black Demon Abyss. If we are lucky enough to obtain a Fifth Rank Treasure, we will make a fortune.”

It was clear from the expressions of Qiu Changyuan and ng Yue that they were sowhat tempted.

Given their status and potential within their respective Sects, it was impossible for them to obtain a Fifth Rank Treasure from their Sects. Therefore, after hearing Sun Yun Ming’s suggestion, they ca to invite Lu Xuan.

Last ti during the mission, all three of them had gained a deeper understanding of Lu Xuan’s strength.

Even though Lu Xuan is a Spirit Plant Master, his skills in Sword Dao are far superior to the three of them, and he could effortlessly release three Fourth Grade Sword Symbols. This left the three of them guessing that Lu Xuan had an unfathomable background.

“Exploring deeper into the Black Demon Abyss?”

Lu Xuan furrowed his brows.

“I’m afraid I’d have to disappoint the three of you. Given my limited strength, I have no intention of venturing deeper into the Black Demon Abyss.”

He declined directly.

If it were so ordinary Secret Land, with his current strength and the various treasures he possessed, exploring a bit would be quite plausible. However, the Black Demon Abyss is extrely dangerous right now, containing an unknown amount of mysterious Demon Envoys and powerful Outer Realm Demons. The slightest carelessness poses a risk of mishap.

“Doesn’t Brother Lu want to own a Fifth Rank Treasure? With your strength, if you were to obtain it, you’d certainly be given priority.”

Sun Yun Ming asked, puzzled.

Lu Xuan shook his head and let out a bitter smile.

“Which Foundation Establishnt Cultivator doesn’t want to obtain a Fifth Rank Treasure?”

This was indeed heartfelt. Even though he already possessed no less than ten Fifth Rank Treasures, he still wanted to obtain more.

“But.”

He shifted the topic.

“During the patrol outside the city last ti, the only three Sword Symbols I had were all used up. I have no ace left, I’m diocre in strength, and have absolutely no confidence in gaining opportunities from other cultivators.”

“To preserve my life, it’s best to just stay obediently in the city.”

Seeing that Lu Xuan was resolved, the three could only give up reluctantly.

Their strength wasn’t diocre either, if they could find one or two more powerful cultivators, they’d have a certain degree of competitiveness even after entering the Black Demon Abyss.

Lu Xuan watched as the three left, then returned to his small courtyard.

His current strength was not inferior to that of an average Early Core Formation stage cultivator, but he also knew that within the entirety of the Black Demon Abyss, with bad luck, there was a risk of death. To be safe, it was better to stay in Black Star City.

The situation in the Black Demon Abyss seed to be more serious than he had imagined.

One day, Zhou Qi ca to the small courtyard where Lu Xuan was staying.

“Brother Zhou.”

Lu Xuan greeted warmly as if he had nothing to do with what had happened over the past month.

“Junior Brother Lu, I have sothing I need to inform you about this ti.”

Zhou Qi’s expression was serious.

“Please do tell, Brother Zhou.”

Seeing Zhou Qi in this state, Lu Xuan’s smile faded.

“I received news from the Golden Pellet Elder Uncle that the amount of Outer Realm Demons appearing in the depths of the Black Demon Abyss is increasing. Without several tis our current manpower, Black Star City will be hard to defend. The various major Sects have decided not to waste manpower anymore.”

“They plan to transfer all cultivators and resources inside the Black Demon Abyss very soon. As for the cultivators who ca to defend the city, there are two choices.”

“One is to enter the Black Demon Abyss and get in touch with the personnel of their own Sect. Our Sect has a base in there, and one can decide whether to go.”

“The remaining choice is to return to the Sect and wait for the Sect’s next dispatch.”

“Has the situation beco so severe already?”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s said that in the depths of the Black Demon Abyss, the Spatial Barriers related to this domain have beco more and more fragile, providing an opportunity for those Outer Realm Demons to seize, taking advantage of the loophole, and exposing more Secret Lands within the Black Demon Abyss.”

“If one enters, both risks and opportunities coexist. There is a possibility of falling, but also a possibility of resolving a demon, obtaining rare resources, or getting a big opportunity from so Secret Land.”

“The majority of fellow cultivators choose to enter, hoping to take their cultivation to the next level.”

“It’s up to Junior Brother Lu to make the decision.”

Zhou Qi said solemnly.

“Do I return to the Sect alone, or with my fellow Sect brothers?”

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

“There are Demon Envoys lurking everywhere outside, naturally we’ll return to the Sect together. There is a special Transportation Tool to carry fellow Sect brothers back.”

Lu Xuan pondered for a mont. His current strength was already quite strong, but he still didn’t have absolute confidence that he could survive in the Black Demon Abyss, facing nurous Demon Envoys. Moreover, so-called opportunities could be achieved by just obtaining a light cluster.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate much and made his decision.

“Brother Zhou, I choose to go back with the rest of the fellow Sect brothers.”

“The Spirit Plants in the Sect are about to mature.”
