Chapter 913: Spying from Outside the Incomplete Cave Heaven
“No harm, Lu Mou just happened to know the effects of the Origin Spirit Ginseng and wanted to plant a few. Once mature, I can sell them at a high price to other ‘cultivators.'”
“At the same time, it’s also to further enhance my own strength, which I haven’t been able to cultivate lately.”
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, his expression calm as he spoke.
“Friend Zhang, is it very difficult to travel through the Primordial Sea?”
He asked curiously.
“Indeed, even a Golden Core Completion ‘cultivator’ with extensive experience would not guarantee that they could traverse the endless void and reach the Primordial Sea from the Cloud Void Domain.”
...
“If Friend Lu wishes to travel there alone, Zhang Mou advises you to think thrice.”
“Although you are in the Golden Core Late Stage Realm, you have mostly been cultivating spiritual plants in your cave abode and are not skilled in fighting laws, lacking experiences in dealing with various dangers. It would be difficult for you to arrive safely.”
Zhang Jiuzong pondered for a moment and advised.
“I wonder if the commerce association has any related star maps? If my strength becomes stronger, or if there’s a chance to follow another force or team of ‘cultivators’, Lu Mou would still like to make the journey.”
Lu Xuan tentatively inquired.
The Origin Spirit Ginseng is so far the second high-rank spirit plant that had emerged from a light cluster and involved cultivation beyond the Nascent Soul Realm. He would not give it up easily.
“Though we haven’t established a branch in the Primordial Sea, there are corresponding star maps available. If Friend Lu insists on going, once I return to headquarters, I’ll have someone bring them to you.”
“However, because it concerns the commerce association’s trade routes, you must ensure that the star maps are not leaked to outsiders.”
Zhang Jiuzong saw Lu Xuan’s determined expression, hesitated for a moment, and said.
“Thank you, Friend Zhang. Lu Mou can make a vow, promising not to leak the star maps.”
Lu Xuan promptly expressed his gratitude.
“No need for thanks, Zhang Mou has that much authority.”
“However, I won’t just give it to Friend Lu for free; let’s consider it as the payment for this batch of Star Fruits, how about that?”
“Agreed!”
Lu Xuan readily agreed.
One must know, the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce had accumulated countless experiences in the Whole Sky Realm, making the star maps it held extraordinarily precious.
They could help him avoid countless unknown risks and reach the Primordial Sea in the safest way possible.
Once they had settled on the matter, they drank Spirit Brew together and enjoyed a lengthy conversation.
After Zhang Jiuzong left satisfied, Lu Xuan had Grass Puppet tidy up the remnants in the yard, his thoughts tumultuous.
“Fortunately, I already condensed three Spiritual Seeds from that Origin Spirit Ginseng, making entering the Primordial Sea just an alternative.”
“If I don’t feel confident enough, I could completely spend more time increasing the yield of the Origin Spirit Ginseng.”
Under the control of Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense, the Flower Charm Slave turned into a transparent ripple, melding into the void.
The flower bud in Lu Xuan’s hand burst into full bloom, each petal displaying scenes seen by the Flower Charm Slave.
“Hmm? There seems to be something off.”
Lu Xuan suddenly stopped.
In one of the petals, an uneven meteorite hovered just a few miles outside the Incomplete Cave Heaven.
The Flower Charm Slave sensed a subtle aura from the meteorite.
“There seems to be something lurking inside.”
A flash of gold on Lu Xuan’s body, the Golden Thunder Robe appeared, isolating his aura.
Thus, he stayed suspended in mid-air, quietly watching the blooming petals.
Suddenly, the meteorite floating in the air sprouted multiple black legs, transforming into a strange insect that moved at lightning speed over a long distance, then changed back into a meteorite, continuing to observe the mist-shrouded Incomplete Cave Heaven from afar.
“I’m glad I’ve always maintained a cautious habit, otherwise it would have been easy to overlook this strange insect masquerading as a meteorite.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Always cautious, he had taken to using the Void Nightmare Eye since acquiring it, to inspect the surroundings every time he ventured out to explore Secret Lands or returned to his Cave Abode.
“What is the origin of this strange insect that lurks near my Incomplete Cave Heaven?”
Despite appearing calm, Lu Xuan was burning with anger inside.
The Incomplete Cave Heaven housed many painstakingly collected High Rank Spirit Plants, including several of Seventh Grade—if stolen, the loss would be immeasurable.
This place was his vulnerable spot, where no one could afford to provoke him.
“Was it Shi Zichen, whom I met while fishing in the Thousand Treasures True River, or another ‘Cultivator’ who followed me here?”
“Or did a ‘Cultivator’ just pass by inadvertently, sensing something mysterious in the deep fog?”
Lu Xuan speculated inwardly.
He had a fairly good impression of Shi Zichen, who had taught him fishing techniques, but he could not completely rule him out either.

“Now that the enemy is in the open while I remain hidden, I can just wait patiently.”
He could wait for the other party to show up, or have the Flower Charm Slave follow the strange insect.”
“If it’s a Jindan Cultivator, then I’ll resolve it effortlessly in one go.”
“If it’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch, then for the time being, I’ll act as if nothing happened. When the other party breaks through the fog and the Star Battle Flag Array, I’ll call for reinforcements to deal with it.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
