"Five-grade artifact!"
Lu Xuan exclaid.
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 replacent.
"It can also be refined into a magical treasure. After refining it successfully, perhaps I can obtain so of the Gluttonous Insect's related divine abilities."
Lu Xuan had browsed through nurous books in the scripture pavilion before and had so 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.
"Unfortunately, refining magical treasures requires Foundation Establishnt cultivation base. For now, it can only be used as an extra-large storage bag."
Lu Xuan said sowhat 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, ca 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 mont 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 tis recently, but Lu Xuan had politely declined each ti, leaving him sowhat 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.
As the two entered Lu Xuan's courtyard, they saw various rare spiritual plants thriving, exuding vitality and lush greenery.
The higher-grade spiritual plants and the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood were hidden by Lu Xuan using formations, making them difficult to see casually. Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu also had no intention of prying.
"However, Lu friend, these spiritual plants you cultivate are indeed of high quality. Without decades of experience as a spiritual plant master, it is difficult to cultivate such high-quality spiritual plants."
Zhou Bingyu looked around and sighed.
Although she was devoted to cultivation, she still had so discerning eyes. Each plant in Lu Xuan's spiritual field was thriving, and most of them were above second grade, indicating that he indeed had extraordinary attainnts in the field of spiritual plants.
"Co, both of you are visiting my small courtyard for the first ti. Taste the spiritual brew and fruits I brought from the sect."
Lu Xuan took out the Drunken Immortal Gourd and poured out the aged Hundred-Fruit Spirit Nectar. He also took out Fla Fruits and Ice Lotus Fruits from his storage bag.
"The brew is made from the Hundred-Fruit Spirit Nectar, brewed with dozens of different spiritual fruits, with ever-changing flavors. After being brewed in my precious gourd for so ti, it becos even more llow and fragrant, leaving a lingering aftertaste."
"The fruits are Fla Fruits and Ice Lotus Fruits, both second-grade with good quality. Eating them continuously can give you a wonderful feeling of ice and fire."
As Lu Xuan introduced, the two began to enjoy the fruits and brew.
"Excellent fruits! Even better brew!"
After tasting so, Shi Zhong couldn't help but praise, while Zhou Bingyu nodded repeatedly in agreent.
"As long as you enjoy them, my friends."
Lu Xuan smiled.
The two looked at each other, and Shi Zhong put down his jade cup.
"Lu friend, in the previous Blood-Congealing Yin Insect incident, it was you who first discovered the abnormalities in the contaminated sea beasts. After the outbreak of the evil insects in the archipelago, you transmitted important information to us, allowing us to station on the islands and avoid massive losses."
"We ca mainly to express our gratitude."
"Since you like spiritual plants, we found three second-grade spiritual plant seedlings for you while searching."
Shi Zhong took out a transparent jade bottle from his storage bag. Inside the bottle was mostly densely packed seawater, with three faint purple corals at the bottom.
"This is the Purple Jade Coral, a second-grade spiritual plant that grows on the seabed, extrely hard, and can be used to forge artifacts. The coral powder ground from it can also be used as alchemy material."
"In token of our respect, please accept it, Lu friend."
Shi Zhong said solemnly.
"In that case, I'll humbly accept it."
Lu Xuan clasped his hands and smiled.
"There is another matter. Lu friend, you previously asked us to inquire about the third-grade spiritual essence. We have so results."
"We found three places that may contain third-grade spiritual essence. Two of them have not been verified, but one place can be confird to have the Gathering Spirit Essence."
"Oh? Where exactly is it? Could you tell ?"
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"It's on a naless 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 ti, you can accompany us to explore the island, hunt demons, and obtain treasures together. With the cultivation base of three Foundation Establishnt 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 Establishnt 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 ntality allow you to advance in your cultivation? How can you compete with other cultivators for opportunities?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhong said sowhat 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 Establishnt 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 nurous 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 sothing."
Lu Xuan's hand quietly appeared a mottled green gourd.
