The situation was clearly not suitable now.
“It’s okay, I don’t need so much.”
Lu Ping’an thought the other was offering it to him, so he quickly waved his hands.
Lu Quanzhen naturally saw the implication and affirmed that he really did not need them, as he had consumed such Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in earlier years.
Moreover, his physical body was only average, and consuming too much medicine might be too fierce, possibly requiring healing.
Hearing this, Lu Ping’an finally nodded, plucked three Golden Bodhi Dates from the nearby tree, and swallowed them whole.
Lu Quanzhen saw Lu Ping’an’s muscles swell and his bones clank, but he only grunted in pain. He couldn’t help but feel impressed by his brother’s tough character.
He went to a cave nearby, carefully picked thirteen Illusion Heart Grasses, and put them into the Spirit Plant Bag.
This Spirit Plant Bag was an exquisite one prepared in advance by Lu Changsheng.
Otherwise, such Spirit Grass would need to be stored in a special Jade Box;
otherwise, their spirit would gradually deteriorate.
Lu Quanzhen then took an Array Device from his Storage Bag and set it up at the entrance of the cave.
Although the cave was hard to find, one could never be too careful.
After completing this, he calmly waited for Lu Ping’an to refine all the Golden Bodhi Dates.
At this moment, in a valley to the southeast of Purple Shadow Mountain,
Two factions were in a deadlock over three Spirit Flowers about half a meter tall, with glowing green bodies and thick stems, exuding a rich scent of life.
The flowers proudly stood alone with fist-sized, jade-green fruits inside them, shimmering with a purple luster, and releasing a refreshing fragrance.
This flower is called the Heavenly Spirit Flower, and the fruit it bore was the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Elixir, known as the Heavenly Spirit Fruit!
“The Thunderhorn Lion was slain by the four of us;
the Heavenly Spirit Fruit should rightfully belong to us. For the sake of Luoxia Sect’s face, we are willing to concede one fruit, which is already a step back. Don’t be too greedy!”
A forty-something blue-robed man wielding a knife and holding a Magic Pearl spoke.
He and four others, armed with Magic Artifacts, formed a formation and faced three Luoxia Sect disciples ahead.
“Humph, seeing that the Thunderhorn Lion was killed by you, giving you one fruit is already generous of us. Don’t reject the wine only to be forced to drink the penalties.”
Luoxia Sect coldly replied.
While they only had three people,
the trio faced down five, their aura even overpowering the opposition.
“Eh? Heavenly Spirit Fruit?”
Just then, a voice came from not far.
Moments later, a youth in a white golden robe with sword-like eyebrows, handsome features, and an upright posture approached.
He looked ahead at the standoff;
not far from the two parties, a purple lion lay in pieces, its blood mingling to form pools.
Near the pool of blood, there were three glowing green Spirit Flowers about half a meter tall, bearing fruits.
“Indeed, they are Heavenly Spirit Fruits. Since there are three, and you can’t divide them equally, me taking one would be just right.”
This youth was none other than Lu Qingshan. He looked at the standoff between the two parties, his expression indifferent, and spoke lightly.
These calm words, plain to the ears of the seven individuals present, seemed domineering and unquestionable.
“Lu Qingshan!”
Three from Luoxia Sect immediately recognized Lu Qingshan,
Remembering when he introduced himself while Tianyuan True Immortal visited with disciples from the Four Great Immortal Sects.
“Lu Qingshan, you are being too overbearing, wanting to take one Heavenly Spirit Fruit for yourself!”
A Luoxia Sect disciple spoke out.
As Lu Qingshan was a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal, they naturally didn’t dare underestimate him,
But to lightly declare taking a Heavenly Spirit Fruit, they felt utterly disregarded!
Moreover, their elders had instructed them to not lose face against this Lu Qingshan.
“Swoosh!”
The response was a Dazzling Sword Light.
“Boom!!!”
This Luoxia Sect disciple immediately unleashed a Magical Shield to block the sword light.
Under the assault of the sword light, the shield’s spiritual light dimmed, causing him to stagger back several steps.
“Do you have an objection?”
Lu Qingshan’s expression turned frosty, revealing a sharp edge, as his magical sword hummed threateningly in his hand, as if brewing some terrifying sword intent.
Seeing this, the five Clan Cultivators nearby were taken aback.
They hadn’t expected Lu Qingshan to be so overbearing, attacking the three from Luoxia Sect by himself.
Moreover, with just a casual sword, he forced one person back, showing terrifying strength that was not at their level at all!
Such an individual must be a true genius of the Immortal Sects, a Nascent Soul Seed!
They exchanged glances and immediately said, “If this Daoist wants one Heavenly Spirit Fruit, the five of us have no objections.”
Given the situation, if the standoff continued and attracted others, it wouldn’t end well for any of them.
It was better to show goodwill and voluntarily give up a fruit.
Upon hearing this, the three from Luoxia Sect remained silent.
From just that simple sword strike, they recognized Lu Qingshan’s astonishing strength.
If a real fight ensued, neither side would benefit.
Thus, the five closest to the Heavenly Spirit Flower picked one fruit, then slowly retreated and left.
Seeing this, the Luoxia Sect disciples also snorted coldly, grabbed a Spirit Fruit, and left.
“Eh? Not even taking the flowers makes it easier for me.”
Lu Qingshan saw both parties take the fruits but leave the flowers;
he chuckled.
He immediately uprooted the three Heavenly Spirit Flowers and placed them in a Spirit Plant Bag.
After all, his father had told him that when encountering rare Spiritual Medicines, one should take them roots and all, especially the Heavenly Spirit Flowers.
Although Heavenly Spirit Flowers are hard to grow and fruit in the outside world,
since his father had said so, he naturally took it along without hesitation.
