644. Chapter 642: Exploring the Trading Market

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to Elder Huang.

He knew that during this process he had received Elder Huang's full support and trust.

Seeing that Lu Yuan showed no sign of slackening, Elder Huang happily continued, 'I plan to ask the Venerable for special resources, arrange a separate cultivation cottage for you, and use a formation to isolate it from the outside world.'

That way, you will have a better environment to study the Spirit Vein Method and master higher Immortal Arts.

He looked at Lu Yuan, full of expectation for him.

Lu Yuan showed a look of surprise and joy, 'Thank you so much!'

'If I had a separate place to cultivate, I could focus more on my practice and improve myself!'

Elder Huang smiled and took out a completely clear and crystalline token, handing it to Lu Yuan: 'This is the mark of an Inner Sect Disciple; you now enjoy the treatment of an Inner Sect Disciple.'

Lu Yuan took the token, examined it carefully, and his heart filled with joy and pride.

This token is a testament to his efforts and also a symbol of his recognition by all the elders.

Elder Huang said softly, 'Sect Master Lu, your contributions to Lei Huo Dan Ge are not only to restore our reputation and trust, but also to make an important contribution to the future development of our Dan Pavilion.'

'I believe you can go further and make Lei Huo Dan Ge flourish.' He said encouragingly.

Lu Yuan stroked the token in his hand, feeling a surge of determination and responsibility.

He knew he bore a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and would bring new breakthroughs to the Dan Pavilion in the future.

'Elder Huang, please believe me.'

'I will surely not disappoint your expectations of me.' Lu Yuan solemnly promised Elder Huang.

Elder Huang nodded satisfactorily: 'I believe you can do it.'

'Since the Venerable has already agreed, please accept the key to this cottage.'

He handed Lu Yuan a key inlaid with a ruby, engraved with a small stream and a green pine.

'This cottage is located on the mountainside, with a tranquil and pleasant environment.'

'You will have ample free space there for independent cultivation.'

Lu Yuan took the key, his heart full of anticipation.

He knew this cottage would be the starting point for his ascent to higher realms.

The next morning, everyone gathered at the gate of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Elder Huang personally led everyone to the location of the cottage.

Along the way the scenery was picturesque; the morning sunlight sprinkled on the earth, casting layers of golden light.

Finally, a courtyard overgrown with moss appeared before everyone's eyes.

Around the courtyard stood green pines and verdant bamboos, with flowers, grasses, and trees lush and dense.

Elder Huang pointed to the cottage and said, 'Please make this your place of cultivation from now on.'

Lu Yuan looked at the quiet, beautiful courtyard before him, his heart filled with emotion.

He knew that here he could focus more on studying the Spirit Vein Method and bring new breakthroughs to Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, he bowed deeply to everyone, then turned and entered the cottage.

In the Tranquil Heart Medicine Hut where Lu Yuan resided, he focused on his cultivation while, under Elder Huang's guidance, improving the quality of the medicinal pills.

This cottage became a holy place for him to explore the Spirit Vein Method, study Immortal Techniques, and research the Alchemy Way.

Lu Yuan immersed himself in his cultivation every day, striving to surpass himself.

He locked himself in a secret chamber, closed off for cultivation, and eagerly explored the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation.

While employing the Detection Technique to set up, he also activated the power of the Cold Jade Ice Shard to carry out deductions.

Time flowed like water; through Lu Yuan's arduous efforts, he mastered higher Immortal Arts and successfully produced medicinal pills of extremely high quality and significant efficacy.

Besides cultivation, Lu Yuan also managed Lei Huo Dan Ge.

He passed on what he had learned to the other disciples and personally guided them in refining medicinal pills.

This not only increased the reputation of Lei Huo Dan Ge day by day, but also filled the other disciples with respect for Lu Yuan.

One day, while Lu Yuan was cultivating in the Tranquil Heart Medicine Hut, a disciple hurriedly handed him an invitation.

Seeing the name Zhang Yuan, Lu Yuan was taken aback.

Zhang Yuan was a merchant from the Eastern Immortal Capital; he held a disciple trading market in Heavenly Wind City and invited Lu Yuan to attend.

Lu Yuan was quite interested in this; it was his first time going out to participate in such an event.

He had heard that the trading market had all kinds of rare cultivation items and treasures, so he looked forward to it.

Thus, Lu Yuan replied to Zhang Yuan's invitation and decided to go to the location to attend the trading market.

The next day, accompanied by Zi Xi'er, Lu Yuan arrived at the venue of the trading market held in the Eastern Immortal Capital.

It was a huge and bustling scene.

Disciples from all over the Xiuzhen Jie gathered here, shoulder to shoulder.

Stalls along the road were filled with various Fobao, spirit grasses, medicinal pills, and other cultivation items, dazzling to the eye.

Lu Yuan was shocked by the sight before him.

He couldn't help but stop and look around, weaving through the stalls while browsing the treasures displayed on them.

Suddenly, a gentle voice entered Lu Yuan's ears: 'Sect Master Lu, you too have come to participate in the trading market?'

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw Su Liyan.

She held in her hand a cloak woven from ice silk, that cool hue setting her apart from the crowd.

'Yan'er, you too have come.'

Lu Yuan smiled and walked to Su Liyan's side.

'I happen to have something to buy, so I came by to take a look.'

Su Liyan responded with a smile.

They continued browsing various treasures and fobos on the trade market.

Lu Yuan was instantly attracted to an ivory-carved gourd.

He walked to the stall and carefully examined this foboo.

"This gourd is very rare!"

"It can store mana and convert mana into immortal power." The stall owner introduced it to Lu Yuan.

Su Liyan watched as the person holding the axe took out an origin crystal and handed it to the stall owner, when she suddenly felt someone was watching them.

He turned his head and saw a tall, burly man walking toward them.

"Sect Master Lu, Su Liyan, long time no see."

That person was Mo Di, he smiled and said: "The fame of Lei Huo Dan Ge of Heavenly Wind City has spread throughout the Xiuzhen Jie; I happened to be nearby, so I came specially to visit you."

Immediately after, Lu Yuan suddenly felt his foot's power float upward, which rarely surprised him.

Lu Yuan was full of curiosity and anticipation for the myriad treasures on the trade market.

As he walked and looked, he suddenly discovered a stall with an ancient stone slab placed on it.

The surface of the stone slab was smooth as jade, covered with intricate runes, emitting a faint immortal aura.

Such heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not commonly seen in the Xiuzhen Jie.

Lu Yuan felt a stir in his heart, walked to the stall and carefully examined this mysterious stone slab.

"This is a legendary cave-heaven treasure — the relic stone slab, possessing endless miraculous effects." (End of chapter)
