Chapter 490: Chapter 488: Crimson Flame Gourd, Elemental Fire Crystal_1

He cast a glance at the worried and distressed members of the Fire Cloud Cave clan. Remembering Fire Scale Child’s regular care towards him, he said:

“Fire Clan Leader, after cleaning the parasitic Spirit Plants from the Spirit Field, I can take a look at these injured plants. I should be able to restore some of their vitality and recover some of the losses.”

His body contained Qingmu Origin Energy, the intrinsic spiritual power from the Green Xuan Deer.

Qingmu Origin Energy is a special plant-like spiritual force that not only promotes the growth of Spirit Plants but also has a strong healing effect, making it perfect for treating damaged Spirit Plants.

“Then…thank you, Friend Lu!”

“Your kindness to our Fire Cloud Cave clan will forever be engraven in our hearts.”

Filled with emotion, Huo Zhen, along with the rest of the Fire Cloud Cave cultivators, bowed deeply in gratitude.

“Junior Brother Lu, you have truly worked hard this time.”

Fire Scale Child looked also extremely moved, expressing gratitude towards Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan’s visit this time could be described as a tremendous favor for him.

From discovering the origin of the Demon Flame Worm, leading the battle in removing the worms, to being the first to detect when the bizarre worm came to retrieve the Demon Flame Worms and solved the problem for Fire Cloud Cave.

Even for those Spirit Plants implicated, he spontaneously offered to rescue them, further reducing considerable losses.

To the entire Fire Cloud Cave, his kindness was as profound as a mountain.

After the Fire Cloud Cave cultivators completely cleaned up the corpses of the worms from the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan and his group did not rest and continued to treat the Spirit Plants infected with the Demon Flame Worms.

When they were entirely eradicated and the Spirit Fields were checked for no residual worm eggs, Lu Xuan carried on healing the damaged Spirit Plants.

Three days later, he returned to the team with a weary body.

“To our three Upper Sect friends, this incident of strange worms invading the Spirit Plants of Fire Cloud Cave was completely resolved with your help. Here are three small gifts to express our gratitude from Fire Cloud Cave. We hope that you will accept them.”

Before leaving, Huo Zhen led a group of Fire Cloud Cave cultivators to bid farewell to Lu Xuan and the others.

Each of the three cultivators held a beautiful gift box and presented it before Lu Xuan and his companions.

The gift belonging to Lu Xuan was significantly larger.

“Junior Brother Xu, Junior Sister Zhou, there are some Flowing Cloud Juices, as well as some of Fire Cloud Cave’s local Demon Beast Meat and Spirit Plants in these. We hope you remember us.”

“As for Junior Brother Lu, everyone has seen your efforts. You resorted to using the Fourth Grade Sword Symbols, which you managed to obtain at a great cost, to save the Spirit Plants of Fire Cloud Cave. Hence, your gift is the most plentiful.”

“There are ten bottles of Flowing Cloud Juice, which should be sufficient for you to drink for a long time.”

“Also, considering that you are a Spirit Plant Master, there is a storage bag in the box. It contains about half an acre of Flame Soil, which you can use for cultivating Fire-element Spiritual Plants.”

“The Flame Soil was collected from the most essence-rich part of Fire Cloud Cave. Although the Fire spirit energy within it will gradually diminish once it is relocated, it should last you for several decades.”

“So that you won’t have to use this Flame Soil in vain, Clan Leader Huo Zhen has specially prepared a Crimson Flame Gourd Spirit Seed for you. It can be directly planted in the Flame Soil.”

“The Spirit Seed is fourth grade. The Fire Cloud Cave does not have the Method of Seed Condensation. We can only occasionally obtain one or two seeds thanks to the peculiar environment of the Secret Land, so the quantity is extremely limited.”

Fire Scale Child explained to Lu Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yong and Zhou Yun Ning didn’t show any emotion on their faces.

After all, since entering the Fire Cloud Cave, everyone had witnessed all that Lu Xuan had done, so they held no objections.

“Thank you very much, Elder Brother Huo and Clan Leader Huo, for your generous gifts,” Lu Xuan gratefully responded.

“Not just these.”

A trace of a smile emerged on Fire Scale Child’s face as he took out a Flame Red Crystal from his storage bag.

The crystal was bumpy and uneven. Inside, crisscrossed threads ran like veins in a human body, and within the threads, magma the color of flames flowed.

“This is the Elemental Fire Crystal that I refined after the death of the Metamorphosis Fire Spirit. Its rank is close to fifth grade and is filled with a large amount of Elemental Fire. You can use it to assist in the cultivation of Fire System Technique and Divine Skills. I present it to you, Junior Brother Lu.”

“This… How can I accept this.”

Lu Xuan didn’t expect that after all those gifts, Fire Scale Child would actually give him a piece of such a precious Elemental Fire Crystal.

“Junior Brother Lu, you deserve this. If you hadn’t been there, Fire Cloud Cave’s hundred-year foundation would likely have been destroyed.”

“The fire-element spiritual plants in the spiritual field are related to the majority of Fire Cloud Cave’s wealth. If we can’t solve the problem of pests, it would be a destructive blow to my people.”

Fire Scale Child said sincerely.

“Then I won’t be polite.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate anymore and directly accepted the flame red crystal.

The four, amid the reluctance of the cultivators of Fire Cloud Cave, jumped onto Fire Scale Child’s flying artifact, Azure Spirit Boat.

In the high sky.

The Azure Spirit Boat swiftly shuttled through the white jade.

“Brother Huo, now that this matter is over, it’s not easy for us to come out of the sect once. How about we slow down the return and experience more of the local customs along the way?”

“There’s a loose repair market a few hundred miles ahead. I’ve heard that there are many unusual and good things inside.”

On the flying boat, Xu Yong suggested.

“I have no objection. What about you, Junior Brother Lu?”

Fire Scale Child agreed and asked Lu Xuan’s opinion when he didn’t respond.

“I’m sorry, but I have some other matters in the sect that require my attention. Therefore, I won’t have time to go along with you to relax. How about we part ways here and I return to the sect first?”

A hint of apology appeared on Lu Xuan’s face. The emergence of the Flame Demon Worm Mother, as well as various incidents he had recently heard, made him keenly aware of the undercurrents in the Cultivation World. Returning to the sect was the only way to ease his mind.

“Then I’ll return to the sect with Junior Brother Lu first.”

Fire Scale Child immediately switched his idea.

Zhou Yun Ning and Xu Yong were not forceful either. They were both cultivators at the late term of Foundation Establishment and were from a great sect. Their strength was at the forefront among cultivators at the same level, so they didn’t have to worry about their safety.

The two decided to part ways with Lu Xuan and Fire Scale Child.

“Elder Brother Xu, Sister Zhou, remember to be careful.”

Before parting, Lu Xuan stood on the Azure Spirit Boat and advised.

“Hahaha, Junior Brother Lu, you always seek stability. There are not many threats to us in the Cultivation World.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely return safe and sound.”

Xu Yong laughed loudly.

After the two got off the Azure Spirit Boat, Lu Xuan and Fire Scale Child continued to rush towards the sect at high speed.

“Junior Brother Lu, are you in a hurry? If so, I can speed up.”

“I have to deal with something in the Sword Hall, the sooner we reach, the better.”

Lu Xuan said in a deep voice, unable to wait to return to the sect.

“Alright, hold on!”

Fire Scale Child’s body surged with red spiritual light, and the speed of the Azure Spirit Boat increased by a third again, rushing towards the Sky Sword Sect like lightning.

“Finally, back to the sect.”

Standing on the Azure Spirit Boat, Lu Xuan looked down and finally completely relaxed when he saw the giant stone sword on the square of Sword Gate Town below.

With Fire Scale Child by his side, he couldn’t visit his former Underworld Court, and he would have to find an opportunity to visit it next time.
