Chapter 819 - 817: Gathering of Nascent Souls
Before the words ceased, an old man dressed in coarse cloth appeared before everyone.
The elder held a rough wood sword in his hand, had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes seemed to contain endless Sword Intent.
"I didn’t expect it to be you, old fellow, representing the Dao Sect,"
Thunderfire True Monarch slowly said.
"No helping it, the other Elders in my sect are all preoccupied with affairs, so they could only send me, the one who loves to join the fun, to come and have a look,"
said the elder, squeezing out a face full of wrinkles while smiling.
"Head of the Sea Tower Trade Association’s Mu Family has arrived!"
"Sky Star Cave Green Wood Star Owner has arrived!"
"Jinyao True Monarch of Jinyao Island has arrived!"
...
After the Liyang Dao Sect elder’s appearance, one Primordial Infant True Monarch after another emerged outside the hall like bamboo shoots after rain. @@novelbin@@
Among them, Lu Xuan had met two of them before.
One was the Sect Master Evergreen True Monarch of the Evergreen Sect, whom he had the fortune to meet at the Hundred Flowers Feast.
The other was Jinyao True Monarch, whom he met in the Thunder Sea; previously, he contacted two Primordial Infant Cultivators, hoping to kill the old Green Horn Thunder Son hidden deep in the Thunder Sea.
After blending in and learning the detailed plan, Lu Xuan used the Divine Wood Green Pot to ripen the Sixth Grade Sky Origin Fruit, and with the Turtle-Crane Longevity Pill revealed by the Light Cluster, he helped the Green Horn Thunder Son return to its peak and took the opportunity to severely dupe the Jinyao True Monarch.
However, this time, Jinyao True Monarch seemed in good spirits, evidently having recovered from the earlier failure.
After over ten Primordial Infant True Monarchs arrived, the birthday banquet officially began.
Row after row of pretty young girls served various rare Spirit Fruit Spirit Paste and high-grade Demon Beast Meat cooked in all kinds of methods.
Iterms of such level as Fifth-grade and Sixth-grade were not uncommon, allowing Lu Xuan to feast heartily, feeling stuffed for the first time in a long while.
Among the Spirit Brew that was served, naturally included three kinds that he brewed himself.
"Friend Lu, did these three types of Spirit Brew come from your hand?"
during the birthday feast, Ye Xuanyin, who was sitting beside him, curiously asked.
She had entered Lu Xuan’s Cave Abode several times and has a deep impression of the several kinds of Spirit Brew he produced.
Now encountering them at a Primordial Infant True Monarch’s birthday, she felt somewhat surprised.
"Indeed, Qi Wuheng Star Envoy learned of my skill in brewing Spirit Brew and came to purchase quite a lot."
Lu Xuan gently nodded in acknowledgment.
"I didn’t expect Friend Lu to have such remarkable skills."
"These three kinds of Spirit Brew, one has a flavor that changes in a hundred ways; each taste is distinct and can even slightly enhance one’s inner Spiritual Power."
"One is flawless and pure, unexpectedly possessing the marvelous effect of cleansing the body from strange species’ essence."
"And there’s one that is chilling to the bone, as if one is frozen by a rare Ice Marrow Jade amidst an endless sea of fires."
"Each one is extremely rare, I didn’t expect all three to be brewed by Friend Lu."
Several people sitting beside him heard this and showed surprised expressions, gaining a direct appreciation for Lu Xuan’s level of Spirit Brewing.
"Since ancient times, cultivating Spirit Plants and brewing Spirit Brew have been inseparable; I have delved into the field of Spirit Plants for countless days and nights, naturally achieving a bit of insignificant success in Spirit Brewing."
Lu Xuan modestly said.
"Haha, after I return, I must find an opportunity to visit Friend Lu’s Cave Abode and purchase more of these three kinds of Upper Class Spirit Brew."
Cultivators skilled in brewing Spirit Brew are even rarer than Spirit Plant Masters in the Cultivation World. Many Golden Core Real People present had an excellent impression of the three types of Spirit Brew and expressed their willingness to purchase them from Lu Xuan’s Cave Abode.
"It seems there are quite a few returning customers,"
Lu Xuan remarked, and recommended the Grocery Store in the Star Plucking Building to everyone.
"I am gratified by the kindness of several friends. If you wish to savor these three types of Spirit Brew again, you may visit the Star Plucking Building, where I have a small shop that will surely meet all your Spirit Brew needs."
He took this opportunity to advertise for his grocery store.
On the other side, a group of Nascent Soul Cultivators sat together, whispering among themselves.
"Jinyao, I heard you were trying to hunt down that Thunder Son hidden deep in the Thunder Sea a while ago? How did it go?"
A palace-dressed woman asked Jinyao True Monarch, who was draped in a golden feather robe.
"Please don’t ask anymore, it was really unlucky."
The countenance of Jinyao True Monarch suddenly darkened.
"I never found the trace of that Thunder Son, and after unexpectedly encountering and clashing with it, I thought I had it for sure. To my dismay, even joining hands with two other Daoists, we couldn’t handle that fiendish creature."
Thinking of this, Jinyao True Monarch felt an even deeper hatred, grinding his teeth as he spoke.
He still didn’t understand how that seemingly aged Green Horn Thunder Son managed to return to its peak condition in an instant.
The instigator was currently below, drinking merrily with newly acquainted Golden Core True People.
"Fellow Daoists, if you find high-grade Spirit Seeds in a Secret Land in the future, you can come to Lu Mou. I will offer a higher purchase price than the market rate."
"I can’t help it, I’m just too obsessed with various precious and rare Spirit Plants."
At the height of the festivities, Lu Xuan made an offer to the Golden Core True People sitting beside him.
Being able to sell at higher prices was naturally better for everyone, and they all readily agreed.
"Is that Little Friend Lu?"
As the banquet was gradually drawing to an end, and just as Lu Xuan was preparing to step back and rest, a tall elder approached.
Looking at his appearance, he bore some resemblance to Wood Daoren, whom Lu Xuan had made acquaintance with.
Lu Xuan, slightly tipsy, sobered up a good deal and greeted the elder respectfully.
"This junior pays respects to Elder Mu!"
When this tall elder had entered earlier, he was only positioned after the Primordial Infant True Monarch from the Liyang Taoist Sect, indicating his extraordinary strength and status.
Lu Xuan knew from the earlier commotion that the elder was the Family Head of the Mu Family, one of the several great clans of the Sea Tower Commerce Association, and an ancestor of Wood Daoren.
"Little friend indeed lives up to his reputation, a person of fine character, with such a rich aroma of plant and wood Spiritual Energy on you."
The elder said with a smile.
The nearby Golden Core True People, seeing this, bid their farewells and found reasons to leave one after another.
"Lord of the Artifact Spirit has been quite concerned about you, Little Friend, bringing you up to us old fellows more than once."
"Coming over to participate in Thunderfire True Monarch’s birthday banquet gave me a good chance to have a look at you, Little Friend."
"I’m flattered by the affection shown by the Seniors, I am humbled," Lu Xuan said promptly.
"Little Friend, no need to be so modest. If Lord of the Artifact Spirit values you, it’s because you have unique qualities."
"Moreover, my unworthy grandnephew, Mu Wei, has been under your care before," the elder spoke slowly.
Lu Xuan was reminded of Wood Daoren, who enjoyed collecting all kinds of strange treasures.
"I dare not assume credit; Wood Daoren’s natural talent and strength are beyond mine."
"He simply relies on his family’s support. Compared to a Loose Cultivator like me who has made it all the way to the Core Formation Realm, he is far behind," said the Family Head of the Mu Family.
After conversing with Lu Xuan for a while and offering some encouragement, the Patriarch Mu left.
The banquet ended, and various Nascent Soul True Monarchs began to leave one after another. A Golden Core Late Stage Star Envoy flew into the sky.
"Fellow Daoists, today is a day of great joy. There will be a few games later, as well as some small gifts to give back to everyone. I hope all the Daoists will participate enthusiastically."
After the Star Envoy briefly introduced the rules of the games, the Array Patterns in the hall lit up, and everyone arrived at a mountain peak with its top flattened.
The first game had nothing to do with the Jindan Cultivators. It’s a common contest, where the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from inside the Heavenly Star Cave and those from various Sect Aristocratic Families who came with their elders sparred in Fight law to win various treasures.

"I never thought I’d have a day as an audience and judge."
Lu Xuan looked down with great interest.
