695. Chapter 693 Sharing these resources together

He stared at the demon cultivators on the table and the blood beads and alchemy materials placed to one side, his heart full of anticipation.

Suddenly, a demon cultivator smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, we have heard of your reputation in this city, so we have come especially to cooperate."

"We are willing to provide a large amount of blood beads and other alchemy materials, only hoping that you can refine high-quality pills for us."

Another demon cultivator added, "These blood beads were obtained through special means, but now we cannot continue to gather them."

"So we hope to cooperate with you and share these resources together."

Although Lu Yuan had concerns about the source of the blood beads, considering the potential benefits and resources from cooperation, as well as his urgent need to cultivate more excellent disciples, he finally agreed to complete the pills and deliver them to the two demon cultivators in one month.

"Good! I agree to it."

Lu Yuan said firmly, "In one month I will hand over the pills you need to you."

Seeing Lu Yuan agree to the cooperation, the two demon cultivators showed delight and hastily clasped their hands in thanks.

After arranging the time for delivering the pills, Lu Yuan sent the two demon cultivators out of the secret room.

Returning to the second-floor hall, Lu Yuan felt confident.

He took a deep breath, activated the formation he controlled, and completely sealed the room.

After returning to the secret room and calming himself, Lu Yuan took out the sword case containing the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword and gently undid the seal on the case.

In an instant, a dazzling thunder-flash burst from the case and condensed in Lu Yuan's hand into a long sword.

This thunder-fire long sword emitted strong energy fluctuations, and under the light it reflected a brilliant hue.

"Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword!" Lu Yuan silently recited the sword's name in his heart.

This is a Fobao he obtained when he began cultivation as a child, and it is one of his most important weapons.

Whenever he faced danger and enemies, this sword would help him achieve victory.

Immediately afterward, Lu Yuan reached into his sleeve and took out the pair of cold jade ice chips; this pair of Fobao was given to him by Su Liyan.

The cold jade ice chips flashed a faint blue light in his hand and transformed into two flying whips.

He picked up the pair of cold jade ice chips, feeling the icy crystal power emanating from them.

This pair of Fobao could provide strong auxiliary support for Su Liyan, giving Lu Yuan considerable confidence.

Lu Yuan put the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword and the cold jade ice chips back into his sleeve, his heart filled with the conviction of certain victory.

One month is not long for him.

Lu Yuan knew that in the process of making the pills, he certainly needed to produce the highest-quality product to satisfy the two demon cultivators' demands.

Therefore, he made up his mind to devote a large amount of time each day to refining pills, and to combine it with the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to improve his efficiency.

The next morning, sunlight poured into the secret room.

A brand-new beginning thus unfolded—Lu Yuan adjusted his condition and then began the ensuing tense and arduous cultivation journey.

In the spirit valley north of Heavenly Wind City, Lu Yuan followed Miss Xiao Ning as they shuttled through a patch of verdant forest.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse branches and leaves, scattering down and forming dappled light and shadow on the ground.

Miss Xiao Ning led Lu Yuan to a waterfall, where the water rushed down and sprayed a fine mist.

This is the most secluded and spiritually rich spot in the spirit valley.

"Mr. Lu, please try our southern continent's special spirit food."

"They not only satisfy hunger but also promote cultivation and enhance physical fitness."

Miss Xiao Ning said with a smile.

Lu Yuan nodded and took the food she offered.

He picked up a pale yellow fruit with his chopsticks and placed it in his mouth; the fruit fragrance and sweetness spread, making him feel very delighted.

The fruit melted upon entry and released rich spiritual energy within his body.

This spiritual energy was quickly absorbed by his body, making Lu Yuan feel cheerful and at ease.

"This spirit food fruit is truly miraculous—not only does it taste good, but it can also enhance physical fitness."

"I will definitely incorporate them into my daily diet."

Lu Yuan said satisfactorily to Miss Xiao Ning.

Miss Xiao Ning smiled and nodded, also knowing that Lu Yuan's choice was wise.

The spirit food of the southern continent, with its unique qualities and efficacy, is widely celebrated in Xian Jie.

After tasting the perfect spirit food in this spirit valley, Lu Yuan felt full of vitality.

He knew that as his cultivation and reputation rose, he would face more challenges.

And a proper diet would become an important support for him to maintain a strong state on the battlefield.

After returning to the Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan immediately shared the delicacies of the spirit valley with Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and Zi Cui Ling, and described their effects in detail.

"That sounds really great!"

"Such beneficial food for physical cultivation, we also really need it."

Zi Cui Ling said excitedly.

"Yes, maintaining good physical condition during cultivation is truly very important."

"I agree to introducing these spirit foods into our daily diet."

Su Liyan also expressed her support.

"Then let us discuss and formulate a reasonable diet plan."

"After all, each of us needs to pay attention to nutrition and supply when cultivating."

Zi Xi'er thought for a moment and then put forward a suggestion.

Lu Yuan nodded, and they decided to introduce the spirit valley's delicacies onto everyone's table to achieve the best effect.

After Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and Zi Cui Ling finished discussing the plan to introduce spirit food, they decided to go to Qingyun City to purchase the needed materials.

Qingyun City is one of the largest trading markets in Xian Jie, attracting cultivators from various sects and families.

The city center is a magnificent pavilion where cultivators conduct trade and gatherings.

Lu Yuan and his companions came to a shop that specialized in selling rare spiritual herbs; inside the shop, the spiritual aura was strong, and various spiritual herbs were arranged everywhere.

Su Liyan resides in the Southern Continent, and she is unfamiliar yet curious about this place.

She walked up to a display rack and gently stroked a stalk of spiritual herb covered in fine, soft hairs.

Zi Xi'er stood aside, admiring these beautiful and wondrous spiritual herbs.

Her eyes lit up as she said, "There is a stalk of Heavenly Bright Herb here, which we often use when breaking through in our cultivation of immortal arts."

Zi Cui Ling carefully examined the prices on each shelf, recording the needed spiritual herbs and their quantities on paper.

Lu Yuan observed their three actions, feeling a myriad of emotions.

Initially, he alone established Lei Huo Dan Ge in Heavenly Wind City; after meeting Su Liyan, they formed a team, and now Zi Xi'er has joined as well.

Thinking of all this, Lu Yuan's heart filled with happiness and pride.

As he stood at the counter ready to check out, he suddenly heard the shop's alarm sound.

Zi Cui Ling instantly grew nervous: "What's happening?"

Everyone quickly turned their heads, seeing a group of anxious cultivators hastily fleeing from the street into the commercial district, and behind them was a squad of imposing and ruthless demonic cultivators. (End of Chapter)
