Chapter 1124: Chapter 1121: Wood Essence Tree Root
“Primordial Essence Herb, Ice Firefly Grass have succeeded in Condensing Seed, just waiting for the Pure Yang Golden Lotus and the Five-Elements Illusory Fruit now.”
Lu Xuan patrolled the Spirit Field.
Suddenly, his Divine Sense keenly detected an anomaly and turned to look at a Little Tree Maiden resting among the E-Mu Green Thunder Vines.
For High-Rank Spirit Plants, the Tree Maiden could be mutually beneficial, thus he did not take them all back to the Sword Sect, leaving a few at the Thunderfire Star Cave.
The Little Tree Maiden’s aura slowly increased, its delicate and exquisite face revealing a hint of maternal radiance, somewhat conflicting with its original naive and innocent temperament.
“The Xuan Ji Tree Mother has possessed her.”
Having had similar experiences before, Lu Xuan’s expression remained calm as he quietly awaited the Xuan Ji Tree Mother’s awakening.
“Friend Lu, it has been many years. I didn’t expect you have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, congratulations are in order.”
The Little Tree Maiden’s lips gently moved, her voice extremely gentle, stirring a tingling sensation all over one who hears it.
“Many thanks to the senior Tree Mother.”
Lu Xuan bowed as a form of greeting, showing extreme respect for this special being who had lived unseen spans of years.
“Friend Lu, why have you not wished to visit your old friend upon returning to the Cloud Void Domain?”
“The Plant Spirits in the Tree Realm often miss you, Friend Lu,” the Xuan Ji Tree Mother asked softly, her words exceedingly polite.
“Lu Mou has just returned not long ago and had many trivial matters to handle; I was just planning on visiting the senior Tree Mother at the Green Wood Star Cave,” Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“That is good, the whole Tree Realm sincerely welcomes Daoist Friend.”
The Little Tree Maiden smiled slightly, and soon, the aura around her gradually calmed, her eyes slowly opening, returning to that lovable naive appearance.
“Last time it possessed the Tree Maiden, it was due to a predicament, seeking help from me, a Human Cultivator, to mingle with the human forces and assist it in closing the Tree Realm’s gateway again.”
“It’s unexpected that this possession is simply to invite me to visit the Tree Realm,” Lu Xuan stood still, thinking to himself.
“Is it a pure invitation or is there some other motive?”
Lu Xuan tended towards the former, after all, his relationship with the Xuan Ji Tree Mother was quite good and neither were known for a violent or bloodthirsty nature, and he had the backing of the entire Dongxuan Sword Sect; it had no reason to offend him or the sect.
Nevertheless, Xuan Ji Tree Mother was different from the Green Horn Thunder Son, with whom Lu Xuan could rely on with life-and-death camaraderie, so he could not fully trust the Tree Mother.
“With my current strength, even if I faced the Xuan Ji Tree Mother within the Tree Realm, I would still have the power to fight and am fully confident that I could make an escape if necessary.”
Lu Xuan prepared for the worst-case scenario in his heart.
Three days later, he arrived at the Green Wood Star Cave as promised.
Floating in the sky, his eyes viewed an endless sea of trees, towering giants teeming with vitality.
Stepping in, it was as if he was in a world of verdant green, with all shades of green commanding his entire field of vision.
After advancing into the depths of the forest, Lu Xuan silently stood and waited.
He knew well that from the moment he entered the Green Wood Star Cave, his every move was being closely monitored by the Xuan Ji Tree Mother.
Indeed, after a few breaths, a tree with a diameter of several zhang emitted a pale green light, and soon, a verdant green pathway appeared.
A group of lively and high-spirited Plant Spirits came out to meet him, presenting the freshest Spirit Fruit and Spirit Dew to Lu Xuan.
“Friend Lu, welcome to the Tree Realm, please come in.”
From the depth of the passageway, came the gentle voice of the Xuan Ji Tree Mother.
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded, following behind the oddly shaped Plant Spirits into the passage.
As he entered, he felt like he was passing through a layer of thin, cicada-wing-like delicate green film, arriving into a vast cyan universe.
At the end of the heavens, it was like a giant cyan curtain, with countless thick roots and vines intertwined below, innumerable Plant Spirits frolicking and even many approaching Lu Xuan curiously as if they had a very profound impression of him.
Lu Xuan smiled in response to the enthusiastic Plant Spirits.
At that moment, strands of pale green aura floated out from their bodies, and the familiar figure of the Xuan Ji Tree Mother quickly appeared before Lu Xuan.
“I’ve met Friend Lu.”
“I wouldn’t have imagined that upon meeting again, I would be able to address you as a fellow Daoist.”
Xuan Ji Tree Mother gently greeted.

The speed of Lu Xuan’s promotion had completely exceeded her expectations.
When Lu Xuan first entered the Green Wood Star Cave, he was favored by the Tree Maidens because of his pure and natural aura, which was unlike the murderous air carried by most cultivators, and so he was invited into the Tree Realm.
As a result, he received recognition and goodwill from Xuan Ji Tree Mother, who appeared in person to ask Lu Xuan, a Spirit Plant Master, for help in nurturing some Tree Maidens.
Later, when the passage to the Tree Realm was accidentally exposed, a host of cultivators came upon hearing the news, wishing to enter the Tree Realm to explore for Spiritual Medicine and hunt Plant Spirits.
In that critical moment, Xuan Ji Tree Mother, unable to appear in person, turned to Lu Xuan for help in setting up several Prohibitions and Restrictions to hide the entire Tree Realm once again within the Green Wood Star Cave.
Consequently, Lu Xuan obtained the two rare Treasure Items: Green Emperor Longevity Leaf and Mixed Element Tree Liquid, an astounding reward.
However, given the vast difference in their strengths, Xuan Ji Tree Mother had always regarded Lu Xuan with the eyes of one appreciating a junior; now, she had no choice but to treat him as an equal.
Even deep inside, she harbored a trace of fear.
After all, Lu Xuan now represented one of the leading Sword Sects in the Whole Sky Realm, and she knew that if there were any conflict, no matter where she hid, she would not escape the pursuit of the Sword Sect.
Yet, it was rare to encounter a Spirit Plant Master capable of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage like Lu Xuan, and considering their past interactions, she ultimately chose to show goodwill proactively.
“Senior flatters me; even though Lu Mou has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, in front of you, senior, it’s still not worth mentioning.”
Lu Xuan humbly said.
Xuan Ji Tree Mother, who lived for no less than ten thousand years and had inscrutable strength, didn’t mind continuing to be addressed as “senior.”
“Those Tree Maidens have indeed found themselves a good master.”
Xuan Ji Tree Mother expressed contentedly.
“The Tree Maidens that senior entrusted to me have mostly advanced to the Fifth Rank.”
“The Mixed Element Tree Liquid gifted by those Plant Spirits played a significant role.”
“It is with their help that the High Rank Spirit Plants I planted have grown rapidly and thus could nourish back to the Tree Maidens.”
Lu Xuan hinted very explicitly.
“Mixed Element Tree Liquid… Such a Treasure Item is also rare in the Tree Realm; after giving you, Friend Lu, a hundred drops last time, there’s not much left.”
“Moreover, the liquid is refined from the essence of thousand, even ten thousand-year-old trees harvested by high-level monsters in the Tree Realm, and it’s not easy to persuade them to part with more of it.”
Xuan Ji Tree Mother, discerning the implied message, spoke in a soft voice.
“Lu Mou intended to pay a premium to acquire some Mixed Element Tree Liquid from senior, but it’s not an issue if there isn’t any.”
Regretting inwardly, Lu Xuan casually remarked.
“However, I have in my possession a Treasure Item with a similar effect to Mixed Element Tree Liquid, which can also promote the growth of Spirit Plants and shorten their maturity period.”
Xuan Ji Tree Mother extended a green vine at a swift pace into a faint green membrane.
Soon after, she brought forth a piece of unusual tree root to Lu Xuan.
The vitality emanating from the tree root was incredibly dense, even slightly surpassing the Plant Spirit Aura transformed by the Divine Wood Green Gourd.
“This Treasure Item is known as Wood Essence Tree Root; it’s the condensed essence from a Wood Spirit that lived in our Tree Realm for over ten thousand years after its death.”
“When the tree root is placed in a place with dense vitality, after a period, it can extract Wood Spirit Juice from within.”
“The Wood Spirit Juice contains pure and plentiful Plant Spirit Aura, which has a strong effect in hastening the maturity of various Spirit Plants.”
“It’s of little use to me, so I gift it to you, Friend Lu.”
“You have an obsession with nurturing Spirit Plants, and the number you’ve grown is countless; this ten-thousand-year-old Wood Essence Tree Root is quite fitting for you.”
Xuan Ji Tree Mother spoke tenderly.
“Thank you, senior!”
Lu Xuan, feeling as if he’d emerged from gloom into brightness, quickly expressed his gratitude.
