A moment later.
Lu Xuan learned about the situation in those two places from there.
The Red Leaf Market has been destroyed.
A few cultivators left the place, while most perished at the hands of demonic cultivators.
As for Wujiabao, the situation is also dire.
The Wu family patriarch was later besieged by several Foundation Establishment demons from the Heavenly Demon Sect. After covering the escape of important direct descendants such as Wu Ning'er, he self-destructed, perishing together with those Foundation Establishment demon cultivators!
As for Fairy Linglong, Wu Ning'er, and the others, they were also chased by demonic cultivators all the way here. It seemed that the demonic cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect dared not set foot on the territory of the Heavenly Sea Sect, which allowed Fairy Linglong and the others to escape a calamity!
Tsk tsk.
The story is so bizarre and unpredictable.
Lu Xuan was filled with emotion. It seemed that even becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator did not guarantee a carefree life, let alone becoming a Qi Refining cultivator.
Say goodbye to Fairy Linglong, Wu Ning'er, Wu Xin'er, and others.
Lu Xuan returned to Tianhai Gate.
I just returned to my sect.
Several handyman disciples came to report:
"Uncle Li, the steward of the herb garden, has summoned me."
Uncle Li?
Lu Xuan knew this person.
This person is the steward of the medicine garden on Tianzhi Peak, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He is a fairly decent and gentle person. As for the true situation, that remains unknown.
See here.
After Lu Xuan was ready.
I went to Tianzhi Peak and met this Uncle Li:
"I heard you have a top-grade magic weapon? Is that why you were able to stand out among thousands of rogue cultivators?"
So that's what the other person was asking about.
Lu Xuan's expression shifted, and he took out the semi-top-grade magic artifact mirror, saying:
“Uncle Li, this is a semi-top-grade magic artifact, not a top-grade one. How could a rogue cultivator like me afford a real top-grade magic artifact? I hope Uncle Li will understand.”
"Hmm, I heard you came from the Wu Family Fortress, a small cultivation family. Actually, I went there in my younger days. It was a good place, but unfortunately it has now fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
After asking a few more casual questions, Uncle Li got down to business:
"I have a good-for-nothing disciple who has taken on a mission these past few days, but he doesn't have a suitable powerful magic weapon. So, I'm going to shamelessly ask to borrow your magic weapon for him for a few days. What do you think, young friend Lu?"
"Borrow? It's obvious the other party has their eye on this magical artifact." Lu Xuan understood this in his heart, but outwardly he feigned nonchalance and said:
"If Uncle Li wants to borrow it, I naturally have no objection."
After saying that, Lu Xuan handed the magic artifact to his Uncle-Master Li.
Perhaps feeling it was a bit awkward for the other person, they smiled and said generously:
"I still have a spot for a true disciple. What do you think? You can go to that herb garden to cultivate in peace."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan agreed, after all, the status of a true disciple was far superior to that of an inner disciple without a master. Although he knew it was just an exchange:
"Thank you very much, Master! This disciple is deeply grateful!"
Lu Xuan cupped his hands in a salute.
"Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back to the herb garden. You can contact me anytime if you need anything. If you encounter any trouble outside, you can mention my name, but be careful..."
"Yes, Master." Lu Xuan replied respectfully, but inwardly he felt helpless.
The other party is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and the steward in charge of the medicine garden.
Lu Xuan wanted to continue cultivating at Tianhai Sect and didn't want to fall out with them for the time being.
At least until he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Back in the cave.
Lu Xuan took the seeds of the Purple Gold Fruit and the Star Essence Grass.
They began to plant the seeds into the precious cauldron.
Several other auxiliary medicinal herbs were also planted together.
Two purple-gold fruit trees, two star-element grass trees, and other auxiliary medicinal herbs were planted.
After a moment, Lu Xuan sensed something was wrong.
So they replanted, planting five Purple Gold Fruits and four Star Essence Grasses inside the Treasure Cauldron.
Other auxiliary medicines, though precious, can be purchased in the market.
Let's not waste the ripening effect of the precious cauldron.
Alchemy is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
It may take many failures.
Even though it matures only once a month.
However, alchemy consumes a huge amount of spiritual herbs, so Lu Xuan still needs to conserve them!
The second thing is to buy a medicine cauldron for alchemy!
One month later.
Lu Xuan emerged from seclusion.
The herb garden remains well-organized.
Those outer disciples also became well-behaved and stopped causing trouble.
The medicinal herbs inside the cauldron have matured!
Unfortunately, the spiritual power of the treasure cauldron was exhausted once again.
It seems that accelerating the growth of spiritual herbs in the early stages of Foundation Establishment requires much more spiritual energy than accelerating them in the early stages of Qi Refining.
This time, Lu Xuan's attempt to replenish his spiritual power with low-grade spirit stones was completely ineffective.
Afterwards, fifty mid-grade spirit stones were used to replenish the cauldron, which restored its spiritual power!
That's fifty mid-grade spirit stones, equivalent to five thousand low-grade spirit stones!
These mid-grade spirit stones are quite rare.
It seems we need to be more cautious about using ripening-enhancing drugs in the future.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators don't have many mid-grade spirit stones!
Arriving at the market, Lu Xuan planned to buy a medicine cauldron for alchemy!
"A medicine cauldron, a top-grade medicine cauldron, we happen to have one here!"
Lu Xuan arrived at a shop in Tianhai Market that sold medicine cauldrons.
The other party took out a purple high-grade medicine cauldron:
"This item is called the Purple Cloud Cauldron! It's a top-grade item among top-grade items, and it costs 1,500 spirit stones!"
"So expensive?" Lu Xuan blurted out.
The other party showed no surprise at this and said:
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but a top-grade medicine cauldron is much more expensive than a top-grade magic artifact! This price is already reasonable!"
"Anything else?" Lu Xuan didn't believe the other party's one-sided story.
"There are also a few ordinary mid-grade medicine cauldrons, priced between three hundred and five hundred spirit stones."
