Chapter 279 - A Heart That Can't Be Warmed

  "Brother Liao, please sit down."

  Lu Xuan, who was standing by, extended his hand and greeted him with a smile.

  After he came back from Baili Jianqing, he received a communication talisman from Shen Ye outside the talisman formation. In the talisman, Shen Ye told him that the top leaders of the Sword Hall were dissatisfied with him for getting the fourth-grade Jian Qianxiao spirit seed, but the matter was done, so he was relieved and should be more cautious in the near future.

  After learning all this, Lu Xuan immediately became nervous. In the name of spiritual fruit and spiritual juice, he invited the two little thighs Xuantian Bailuan and Baiyu Qingtian Yuan to come and support the scene.

  Unexpectedly, a cultivator came to the door so soon.

  Lu Xuan smiled at Liao Yufang, whose expression suddenly became nervous, and took the spiritual fruit and spiritual juice from the house and placed it in front of him.

  "Thank you, Junior Brother Lu." Liao Yufang

  said in a gentle tone.

  "Are these all the spiritual beast friends in the yard that Junior Brother mentioned?"

  He asked Lu Xuan tentatively.

  He grew up in the sect and had been promoted to an inner sect disciple for nearly twenty years. He had a deep understanding of the sect, including these two spirit beasts.

  The two beasts were descendants of the sect's guardian spirit beasts. They had unique blood talents. In the eyes of some Jindan Zhenren, they were like treasures and were extremely favored. There were even foundation-building cultivators who raised and cared for them.

  Although they were only third-grade spirit beasts, they were actually no weaker than Liao Yufang himself.

  Not to mention, the two beasts represented four fifth- and sixth-grade guardian spirit beasts. His uncle, who was about to die and had completed his foundation, was completely inferior to the parents of the two beasts.

  He therefore urgently wanted to know what the relationship was between the two descendants of the guardian spirit beasts and Lu Xuan.

  "Xuantian Bailuan and Baiyu Qingtian Yuan are both my friends. They often come to play with me and ask for spirit fruits. As for the other few, they are the spirit beasts I raise in the cave."

  Lu Xuan replied.

  "So that's how it is."

  Hearing that the phoenix and the monkey were just tasting the spiritual fruit planted by Lu Xuan, Liao Yufang suddenly felt relieved. He pinched a piece of spiritual fruit that was burning like a flame and put it into his mouth.

  "Ahem."

  His eyes fixed and he was choked by the spiritual fruit.

  In his sight, Lu Xuan came to the front of Xuantian Bailuan and gently stroked its white feathers.

  "Can the descendants of the fifth or sixth grade spiritual beasts be touched?"

  With such an incredible thought, Liao Yufang swallowed the flaming fruit in his mouth with difficulty.

  A burning breath exploded in his mouth, and then, warm spiritual power, with a fresh fragrance, flowed through his limbs.

  At this moment, his whole body was warm, but he couldn't warm up his cold heart.

  He tasted the spiritual fruit in front of him mechanically, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Xuan fiddling with a few crystal white hairs on the head of the white jade Qingtian ape.

  A hint of intimacy flashed in the delicate and small ape's red eyes. While chewing the spiritual fruit, his head took the initiative to lean towards the palm of Lu Xuan's hand. Liao Yufang's

  eyeballs were about to fall out.

  The little ape in front of him looked well-behaved and shy, but he knew its true colors very well. It

  could be transformed from a well-behaved and shy monkey into a monstrous beast at any time!

  The reputation of the parents of this white jade sky-supporting ape could be said to be resounding throughout the Tianjian Sect. It could be said that they had defeated all the powerful cultivators in the sect. Most of the Jindan real people and true disciples in the sect had a lot of friendship with them.

  The fight.

  Seeing the white jade sky-supporting ape showing off its well-behaved behavior in Lu Xuan's palm, Liao Yufang felt that the ice loquat in his mouth was unprecedentedly cold.

  The water and fire spiritual power of the flaming fruit and the ice loquat fruit alternated, just like his complex and changeable mood at the moment.

  "Brother Liao, don't just eat the spiritual fruit, taste the spiritual juice I brewed."

  Lu Xuan called him.   

  Liao Yufang nodded, raised his head and drank a big mouthful of the hundred fruit spirit juice.

  The taste of various spirit fruits changed in his mouth, making him feel drunk.

  "Junior Brother Lu, I heard that you recently obtained a fourth-grade sword thousand owl spirit seed?"

  "I wonder how Senior Brother heard about it?"

  Lu Xuan asked indifferently.

  "I am a disciple of the Sword Hall. I came in ten years earlier than Junior Brother. I was lucky enough to cultivate a few third-grade sword grasses. I have always been very concerned about the remaining fourth-grade sword grass spirit seed in the Sword Hall." Liao Yufang

  's tone unconsciously became softer after entering the yard.

  "So it's Senior Brother of the Sword Hall."

  Lu Xuan acted as if he just understood Liao Yufang's origins and nodded suddenly.

  "That's true. Senior Brother Shen Ye gave me ten second-grade sword grass spirit seeds before."

  "Nine of them were successfully cultivated, and the other one was confusedly transformed into a third-grade sword grass."

  "After Senior Brother Shen learned about it, he gave the sword thousand owl spirit seed to me to cultivate."

  Lu Xuan said slowly, he did not hide his talent in the way of spiritual plants.

  This talent is not aggressive and will not harm other fellow disciples. At the same time, it has a very good auxiliary effect on the sect.

  Only by fully displaying his talent in spiritual plants can he be qualified to obtain higher-grade spiritual seeds and obtain more generous light ball rewards.

  As for the cultivation, treasures and other rewards brought by the light ball, he will naturally hide them deeply and will not let anyone know his true strength.

  In the eyes of other fellow disciples who are familiar with him, he is just an ordinary spiritual plant master who is keen on cultivating spiritual plants and spiritual beasts.

  From entering the sect to now, this character setting can be said to be carried out all the way to the end.

  "Improved the third-grade sword grass..."

  Liao Yufang couldn't help muttering to himself when he heard Lu Xuan's words.

  He was unruly by nature, but he also knew the meaning of this sentence. He felt that the hundred-fruit spiritual juice in his mouth became more and more bitter.

  "Junior Brother Lu, this spiritual juice is brewed very well. I'm a little drunk. I'll leave first and visit Junior Brother Lu another day to ask you for advice on cultivating sword grass."

  After tasting a few more sips of spiritual juice, Liao Yufang put down the jade wine glass in his hand and said goodbye to Lu Xuan.

  "Okay, welcome, Senior Brother Liao."

  Although Lu Xuan knew that Liao Yufang had come with bad intentions, he did not do anything to harm him. In addition, as he was in the sect, he also said with a smile in the spirit of being kind to others.

  He sent Liao Yufang out of the courtyard, and waited until his figure completely disappeared from his sight before returning to the courtyard.

  "Thank you two old friends for coming to the scene today. Come on, fill up the spiritual fruits and spiritual juices, and eat enough today!"

  He greeted Xuantian Bailuan and Baiyu Qingtian Yuan enthusiastically. He

  spent a lot of money to invite the two beasts to come this time. The inventory of flaming fruits and ice radish fruits was reduced a lot, and the few remaining jade scale fruits were almost eaten up. Most of the nourishing hundred fruit spiritual juice in the drunken fairy gourd was also drunk.

  However, the effect was quite obvious.

  Under the suppression of the two descendants of the sect-protecting spiritual beasts, a possible storm was eliminated invisibly.

  It can be said that it takes many days to nourish the legs and use them for a while.

  He looked at Xuantian Bailuan and Baiyu Qingtian Yuan who were happily tasting the spiritual fruit juice in front of him, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.
