Chapter 35 - A familiar plot

  The next day, Lu Xuan inspected the spiritual field, cultivated spiritual plants with various low-level spells, and looked at the straw puppet that was still moving slowly in the spiritual field.

  "You didn't walk in the spiritual field all night, did you? Stop, stop."

  The straw puppet still slowly stretched out its thin hay legs.

  It waited until Lu Xuan returned to the house before it reacted and stopped in place, with its hay head facing the spiritual field.

  "I'm going to go out for a while, do you want to come with me?"

  After Lu Xuan entered the house, he said to the Green Eyed Cloud-Stepping Lynx lying on the ground.

  "Ah..."

  The lynx cub tightened its throat and called in a low voice, with indifferent eyes, and walked to the door of the house. When

  Lu Xuan saw it like this, he knew that it was habitually cold, and in fact, it was eager to accompany him in its heart.

  Sure enough, when he reached out to grab the lynx's fur, the cub symbolically struggled twice, and then lay obediently on Lu Xuan's shoulder.

  Four white clouds clasped Lu Xuan's clothes, a pair of pointed ears stood up, and two tufts of gray hair on the ears fluttered in the wind.

  There was not much spirit beast meat and spirit rice left at home, so Lu Xuan planned to go to the market to buy some.

  After raising three red-bearded carps and the green-eyed cloud-stepping lynx on his shoulder, the consumption of spirit beast meat and spirit rice increased a lot. While Lu Xuan satisfied them, he could only look forward to getting better light balls in return after they matured.

  As for the nine mature spirit fireflies, he did not plan to sell them to Baicaotang for the time being. He put them in a white jade box in a storage bag and dealt with them together when there were more.

  After arriving at the market, Lu Xuan scanned the stalls as usual to see if he could get the unknown spirit seeds, spirit beast eggs, and cubs that he wanted most at the moment.

  Unfortunately, he was unlucky and did not come across them.

  He calmed down and went to the store to buy twenty kilograms of the lowest grade spirit rice and five kilograms of monster meat, spending a total of more than ten spirit stones.

  After that, he still had about eighty spiritual stones left in his hand.

  After putting the spiritual rice and monster meat into the storage bag, Lu Xuan was about to leave when suddenly, a huge monster bird flew over from high in the sky with its wings flapping.

  The monster bird's wings were about thirty feet wide, leaving a large shadow on the ground.

  "This is the Wang family's third-grade monster beast, the Iron-Feathered Eagle. It has been raised for hundreds of years and its strength is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

  From the looks of it, it is estimated that they are a group of cultivators who have returned to open up a new secret realm."

  In the market, a knowledgeable cultivator whispered.

  Sure enough, not long after the Iron-Feathered Eagle passed by, various monster birds, flying boats, etc. flew over the market one after another.

  Finally, it stopped in a wide square hundreds of feet away.

  Lu Xuan followed the crowd and took a look from a distance.

  "That's Wang Wenhong, a high-level Qi training cultivator. Among the young talents of the Wang family, he has one of the highest cultivation levels. I heard that he was taken to the wilderness for training."

  A young man with a steady look walked out of the square, holding a red long sword in his hand, and there was a hint of murderous aura as he walked.

  "I don't know how the new secret realm is being developed? Do we casual cultivators have a chance to enter and get some leftovers?"

  "You want to enter the new secret realm with your Qi training level of the second level? Not to mention that the Wang family still has casual cultivators who will go to open up the secret realm and turn it upside down. Even if there are some good things left, you can't enter the entrance of the secret realm with your cultivation level."

  "What exactly did these cultivators of the Wang family encounter in the secret realm? Each of them looked solemn."

  "Don't be suspicious, they just came back to replenish supplies and rest normally."

  The casual cultivators in the market were talking about it, and Lu Xuan mixed in the crowd and observed carefully.

  In addition to a large group of cultivators from the Wang family, there were also hundreds of casual cultivators who returned.

  Many of the casual cultivators did not have storage bags, but their waists were bulging, which showed that they had made a lot of money.

  Every casual cultivator had a serious look on their faces, with doubts, fears, and heaviness...

  Lu Xuan took a quick look and did not see Zhang Hong.

  However, he was not too worried about his safety. After all, it had not been long since Zhang Hong returned last time, and the journey was long, so he would not waste time going back and forth easily.

  He quietly withdrew from the crowd.   

  With so many cultivators coming back, it is estimated that a lot of good things will flow out of the market in the next two days. He plans to pay more attention.

  When he returned home, he took out the spiritual rice and monster meat, put them away carefully, and warned the Cloud Lynx not to enter the kitchen to steal meat, otherwise he would make it suffer.

  In the afternoon, Wang Shan came over.

  As soon as he entered the door, the Cloud Lynx cub glared at him fiercely with its green pupils and let out a low growl.

  "Ah~!"

  "This is a monster I bought at the market some time ago. It is wild and untamed. I am very sorry to disturb Fellow Daoist Wang."

  Lu Xuan gently patted the Cloud Lynx's head, signaling it to be quiet, and said to Wang Shan with a smile.

  "It's okay. Brother Lu is in a good mood and raises such a monster. But the eyes of this Cloud Lynx look quite special."

  "It's just for show, and there is nothing magical about it."

  Lu Xuan said casually.

  "As for raising such a little thing, it is mainly to let it guard the house. Besides, it is inevitable that one will feel bored if he stays in the house for a long time. It is better to have something to accompany him."

  "I am not like you, Brother Wang, who has a warm and soft jade in his arms day and night, and never misses his home."

  Lu Xuan teased.

  After not seeing each other for a while, Wang Shan's face was even brighter.

  "Hahaha!"

  Wang Shan laughed loudly.

  "I came here to remind Brother Lu."

  "This time, hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators have returned from the new secret realm in the wilderness. Each of them has good things on them, which will naturally attract a lot of covetousness. They are also at their most sensitive time, so it is easy to cause conflicts."

  "There were two fights in the North District today, and three casual cultivators died."

  "In addition, the evil spirits in the wilderness are elusive and may come in with them. Fellow Daoist Lu, please pay more attention." "

  Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Wang."

  Lu Xuan said gratefully.

  No matter what happens in the outside world, he will just stay in the yard and cultivate spiritual plants.

  If there is a cultivator who wants to take advantage of his peaceful farming life, he will not let that person have an easy time.

  After a few words, Wang Shan went to patrol the streets of the North District.

  Lu Xuan closed the gate of the courtyard tightly, and the formation isolated the courtyard from the outside world.

  Not long after, a soft and sticky voice sounded outside the courtyard.

  "Brother Lu, are you home?"

  It was the concubine that Wang Shan had taken.

  Lu Xuan opened the gate of the courtyard, and the beautiful Wang was standing quietly at the door. The loose robe could not hide her curvy figure. Her eyes were drooping. When she saw Lu Xuan coming out, she looked like a flowing wave of light when she raised her head, full of charm.

  "Sister Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

  Lu Xuan asked.

  "I don't know what's in my house, and it always makes strange noises. I'm scared alone. Can Brother Lu go over and help me take a look?"

  Wang looked timid, like a white rabbit, and would quickly dodge at the slightest sign of trouble.

  A strange smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan's mouth.

  The newlyweds, the husband was busy with affairs, and the wife had an accident at home. They had no choice but to seek help from the young neighbor.

  Why does this plot feel so familiar?
