Chapter 847: Letting Go
Kong Yun couldn't turn around when he heard Shen Ye calling Lu Xuan, who was the guest minister of the Hailou Merchant Association, his junior brother.
In his impression, although Shen Ye had good swordsmanship skills, he was just an ordinary cultivator from an ordinary background. He didn't expect that he had such a deep background.
Shen Ye seemed to see the doubts in the young man's heart and took the initiative to explain:
"Fellow Daoist Kong, don't think too much. Junior Brother Lu and I just practiced together in a sect in the Eastern Wasteland. Junior Brother, remembering our old friendship, specifically asked me not to change my title."
"I see."
Kong Yun suddenly understood.
Lu Xuan, who was smiling at the side, cupped his hands and saluted.
"I'm Lu Xuan, I've met fellow Daoist Kong."
"Senior Brother Shen and I have an irreversible friendship. We are brothers and sisters. I will have to ask fellow Daoist Kong to take care of him in the future."
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Lu. Fellow Daoist Shen is a proficient swordsman. It is Fellow Daoist who should take care of me."
The young man said quickly, with a bit of respect in his words.
He was just a casual cultivator in the early stages of forming pills in the Xijian Star Cave. Compared with Lu Xuan, who was backed by the behemoth Hailou Chamber of Commerce, his status was much different.
Shen Ye led Kong Yun to sit down and continued to greet other guests.
Not long after he entered the Xijian Star Cave, he only met four or five Dan Jie monks, all of whom were in the early stage of Dan Jie.
After learning about Lu Xuan's identity, every alchemy monk had an extremely kind and enthusiastic attitude.
Lu Xuan's expression was calm, and he revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he had a close friendship with Shen Ye, which could be regarded as adding some protection to his future practice life in the Xijian Star Cave.
Among them, seven or eight foundation-building monks came from other areas of Liyang Realm to celebrate Shen Ye.
Sitting among Lu Xuan and other Jiedan monks, it was like sitting on pins and needles, extremely uncomfortable, for fear of offending Master Jiedan in the slightest.
After the banquet, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to leave. He and Shen Ye sent the visiting monks away and returned to the cave.
"Come, Senior Brother Shen, Junior Brother, there is some fine wine here. Let us two have a nice drink."
He smiled and took out a bottle of fifth-grade Huanzhen Sword Liquid from his storage bag.
There was a shimmering light on the surface of the silver-gray spirit liquid. After looking carefully, I realized that it was a wisp of extremely subtle sword light.
"What is this? It actually caused the sword energy in my body to move."
Shen Ye looked at the silver-gray spirit liquid in front of him, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
"This thing is called Huanzhen Sword Liquid. According to legend, it has some connection with Shangzong Dongxuan Sword Sect. Junior Brother got it by chance."
"It is said that after being persuaded to drink this spiritual fluid, the sword cultivator can enter a state of returning to his original nature, and he can understand the swordsmanship and magical powers with a pure and childish heart."
Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.
"Oh? With such a treasure, I have to taste it carefully, senior brother."
Shen Ye said gently with a smile on his face.
“It’s really unique and unique.”
He took a sip and closed his eyes to feel it. When he opened his eyes, a sharp sword flashed across his eyes.
The two continued to chat about their time in Tianjian Sect and their respective experiences after leaving.
"To be honest, senior brother, I'm a little envious of you, junior brother Lu."
When the wine was full, Shen Ye sighed with a hint of drunkenness.
"According to what my junior brother just said, after entering Tianxing Cave, I lived an extremely simple and boring life, focusing entirely on cultivating spiritual plants."
"But junior brother, do you know how many monks can't get such a peaceful life like yours?"
"Who would be willing to risk their lives to explore secret places and seek opportunities when they can live like that?"
"The problem is that most monks don't have the same skills as you, junior brother."
"No, even if there were, it would be difficult to reach the level of your spiritual cultivation level, junior brother."
He then shook his head.
"Senior brother, I really admire you for being able to achieve what you have achieved today by relying on your spiritual cultivation."
Shen Ye lowered his head and said.
He saw clearly everyone's attitude toward Lu Xuan at today's banquet, and he also understood the lofty status of the guest minister of the Hailou Merchant Association.
The moment the banquet ended, my heart suddenly became extremely calm, and I completely gave up the idea of chasing after the younger junior brother.
"What I have achieved today is all because of my talent in spiritual cultivation, junior brother."
Lu Xuan said slowly.
"Junior brother, please don't be modest. Anyway, I will hold on to your thighs, senior brother!"
Shen Ye smiled heartily.
"Haha, senior brother is joking."
"In the future, if I need you for anything, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Lu Xuan bowed his hands towards Shen Ye and solemnly promised.
"By the way, Senior Brother Shen, I have a small shop in the Star Reaching Building. I have accumulated some wealth through spiritual plants over the years. I plan to hold a private auction in the shop in a while. There will be some high-level spiritual plants at that time. Plant elixirs, and other treasures.”
"We welcome senior brother to come and have a look. I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce to senior brother some Taoist friends who are quite good in strength and character."
Finally, he extended an invitation to Shen Ye.
"Okay, I'll be sure to come on time to participate."
Shen Ye nodded heavily.
Lu Xuan didn't stay long and said goodbye to Shen Ye. After seeing him off for a long distance, he quickly rushed to the Thunder Star Cave.
Returning to the cave, he returned to his previous life as a spiritual planter, dealing with many spiritual plants as always.
Shen Ye's heartfelt words made him cherish this peaceful and simple farming life even more.
Another two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xuan flew out from the depths of the Earth Fire Branch, holding two red gold lotus flowers in his hands.
Two of the remaining four pure Yang golden lotuses in the magma were fully mature, and he obtained two strands of the sixth-grade Taiyi pure Yang true fire and many pure Yang golden lotus seeds from them.
The other two were used to condense spiritual seeds, so that he could obtain red gold lotus seeds and light balls as rewards in a long-term and stable manner.
With the pure Yang true fire, the Yuan Yang true fire and the newly obtained sixth-grade strange fire, plus Lu Xuan's special ability in spiritual plants, the difficulty of condensing seeds is not very high. After a while, he should be able to obtain several different pure Yang golden lotus spiritual seeds.
He went to the spiritual field for another round.
The new batch of ice fireflies has entered the rapid growth stage and is growing very well.
The small cave Xuan sword gourd and the thousand thunder sword grass have both been condensed successfully. After various means of processing, the spiritual seeds were successfully planted in the spiritual soil.
The other spiritual plants are also in the best state and growing freely.
"It's time to prepare the treasures for the auction."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
He held such a private auction for only two purposes.
The first is to clear out some fifth-grade treasures that are not very useful to him.
As the treasures opened by the light ball are getting higher and higher in rank and number, he rarely goes out to explore the secret realm, so many of the treasures on his body have become useless. It is just the right opportunity to clear out a batch.
Of course, useless is only relative to Lu Xuan who has several seventh-grade treasures. For other ordinary Jindan Zhenren, every treasure he took out is very good.
The second purpose is to advertise the grocery store and strengthen the reputation of the grocery store's boutique route.
"Too many treasures is also a trouble, you must let go."
