Chapter 381: Chapter 381: 379: Recognizing Oneself_l

Gu Jian Kong had only met Lu Xuan once, but he had a deep impression of him.

When the sect’s Fifth-Grade Spiritual Beast, Qing Xuan Deer, was on its deathbed, it was likely to mutate due to its deep obsession.

The inner sect disciples, who were adept at cultivating Spiritual Plants and Beasts, were helpless. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan appeared.

He had just been promoted as an inner sect disciple and easily resolved the obsession of the Qing Xuan Deer, surprising Gu Jian Kong and others.

“If you can break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-term in such a short time, it shows that you, my nephew, have extraordinary bones, comprehension, and blessings. If you keep it up, core formation might be possible.”

He complimented out loud.

“I dare not, I dare not. I am realistic. It was a fluke to break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-term.”

Lu Xuan displayed his acting skills brilliantly, with a look of seven parts caution and three parts unease.

“Recently, the sect has brought many mutated Spiritual Plants from the Blessed Land. I hear that we already roughly understand them. Disciple Lu has made a significant contribution in this process, so I took the liberty to invite you into the Blessed Land.”

“If we continue to bring the Spirit Plants back to the Sect as before, it is too inefficient and costly. So, it’s better if you come over.”

Gu Jian Kong said gently.

“It’s my honor to be able to help the Sect.”

Lu Xuan replied sincerely.

“Good, the task of taking care of these mutated Spirit Plants will be your responsibility. Your main task is to understand their origin, identify their unique characteristics and uses.”

“I will also assign two Foundation Establishment Mid-term inner sect disciples to help you.”

“As for safety, this camp is located behind the cultivators of the three Sects, and the surrounding area has already been swept by us. There is more than one fourth-grade protective array in the camp, so there is no need to worry about safety.”

“I also have this Jade Talisman here. Once activated, I can sense it from a thousand miles away. If you encounter a dangerous situation, Disciple Lu can use it to ask for my help.”

After finishing speaking, Gu Jian Kong let a Small Sword Rune made of jade fly from the illusion of sword Qi, appearing in front of Lu Xuan.

“Thank you, Uncle Master Gu!”

Lu Xuan thanked him earnestly, this gratitude was sincere and heartfelt.

After all, although he already possesses various rare treasures, charms, and so on, who would refuse the help offered by a Golden Core Cultivator?

He carefully put away the Jade Sword Rune.

Seeing this, Li Zhen and others became startled, realizing Lu Xuan’s position in the Blessed Land.

There were not many in the entire Blessed Land who could have a Nascent Soul Real Person Gu Jiankong’s Communication Talisman.

After Gu Jian Kong was clear in his instructions, he left behind the restrained mutant Spiritual Plants and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, two cultivators from the Sky Sword Sect arrived at Lu Xuan’s room. One was tall and had an honest-looking face. The other was of average height with an ordinary appearance but sharp eyes.

Both of them were at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base, those disciples left by Gu Jian Kong to assist Lu Xuan.

“Please take care of us in the future, Junior Brother Lu.”

The tall cultivator named Feng Yu, who seemed polite on the surface but was quite bitter in his heart.

He was hunting mutant Spirit Plants when suddenly, Gu Jian Kong sent a message, asking him to assist a Spirit Plant Master.

Although both were at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base, one had rich combat experience and could easily fight several beasts of the same rank, while the other was just an ordinary Spirit Plant Master. The gap in their strength made him unwilling to accept this order.

However, this was Master Gu’s command. He didn’t have the courage to resist, so he had to comply obediently and come here to serve Lu Xuan.

The other one named Zhang Rui Ping had similar thoughts to Feng Yu, and had no choice but to accept this fact.

“Don’t be polite, Brothers. We should take care of each other.”

Lu Xuan was courteous, his acting skills were stunning, and he immediately saw the inner thoughts of the two, but he didn’t care. As long as they didn’t interfere with him, they could do whatever they wanted.

The next day, Lu Xuan came to a spacious stone house early in the morning.

In the stone house, there were dozens of different mutant Spiritual Plants, all kinds of strange shapes. However, as they were currently restrained, they had no opportunity to show their aggressiveness.

“Dragon Patterned Wood, Flowing Fire Wood and other mutant Spirit Plants are here, but I did not see the fourth-ranked Exceptional Arrow Vine. It seems indeed quite rare.”

Lu Xuan walked slowly, carefully observing every Spirit Plant.

Of these Spirit Plants, he had seen more than half of them in the Sect, and he was well aware of their origins and uses.

However, with a mindset to keep his knowledge hidden, he only occasionally gave some hints and reminders to people like Liu Su when he was in the Sect, without revealing detailed information about the mutant Spiritual Plants.

After sorting out all the Spirit Plants, he was about to untie the ban on a mutant Spirit Plant when Feng Yu and the others walked in.

“Good morning, Brothers.”

“Junior Brother Lu, you came so early.”

“I’m curious about these Spirit Plants, so I came a bit early.”

“If Brothers don’t mind, why don’t we start now?”

Lu Xuan saw them nod, and continued speaking.

“What Brothers have to do is very simple. After I release the restraint on the Spirit Plant, be ready to counter the plant’s attacks at any time, keeping the mutated Spirit Plant under our control.”

“Also, occasionally I’ll need your help to record the experimental phenomena and do some small tests.”

As he spoke, he moved around the mutated Spirit Plant.

There was a jingling sound from his waist.

Feng Yu and the other looked over and saw a jade sword rune hanging from Lu Xuan’s waist, swinging as he moved, extremely noticeable.

The two’s eyes sharpened.

After being in the sect for decades to a hundred years, they naturally wouldn’t be unfamiliar with this small sword rune.

At a glance, they could recognize it as the unique communication talisman of Nascent Soul Real Person Gu Jiankong from the Sky Sword Sect.

But why was it on Lu Xuan?

Feng Yu and the other looked at each other, both full of confusion.

The fact that an ordinary Spirit Plant Master could obtain the Golden Pellet Elder Uncle’s small sword rune, while they couldn’t, meant that in the eyes of Gu Jian Kong, their combined worth paled in comparison to Lu Xuan.

The cruel reality made them quickly realize their own standing.

“Brother Lu, I’m familiar with this restriction. Let me unlock it for you.”

“Yes, yes, Brother Lu, just watch from the side. Anything you need us to do, just order us around.”

The two enthusiastically stepped forward. One used his spiritual power to actively unlock the restriction on a mutant Spirit Plant in front of Lu Xuan.

The other took out a talisman and a magic tool, on guard, ready to face any sudden attacks from the mutated Spirit Plant as they unlocked the restriction.

After noticing the communication talisman of the Golden Pellet master hanging on Lu Xuan’s waist, the two had a significant change in attitude, their form of address even rose from ‘junior brother’ to ‘senior brother’.

Lu Xuan was calm, secretly thrilled. With these two foundation establishment mid-term ‘brothers’ assisting him wholeheartedly, his future research process would be much easier..
