You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 1264: Traces of the Old Friend
Lu Xuan faced the sky full of lightning and came to the cave where he used to live.

"It's still the familiar Mysterious Crystal Formation of Ten Thousand Barriers."

With his spiritual sense sweeping over, he saw at a glance the large protective formation hidden outside the cave, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Hmm? No one is in the cave?"

He entered the cave with familiarity. The entire cave was empty, and there was not even a trace of life.

There were just some low-priced spiritual plants growing in the spiritual field, but none of them were what he had planted before.

"The entire cave is clean and tidy, and in good order. It looks like someone cleans and maintains it regularly."

Lu Xuan sighed secretly in his heart.

Entering the mansion, he looked at the layout which was exactly the same as before, and scenes from the past emerged in his mind.

"The only difference is that there are no guards from Tianxing Cave waiting outside the cave."

He chuckled.

But this is understandable. The actual owner of the cave has not returned for many years, and he has been staying outside just to flirt with the blind man.

A moment later, a sword light shot out rapidly from the endless lightning.

Hong Qinghai jumped off the flying sword in a hurry. Perhaps because his emotions were too unstable, he staggered when he landed.

He was taking care of business in the store when he learned that a cultivator had entered the Leihuoxing Cave. An idea suddenly occurred to him:
Senior Lu is back!!
When he came out of the cave, he dusted off his robes, took a deep breath, and looked solemn.

After passing through the Mysterious Crystal Formation, he saw a handsome young man looking at him with a smile.

"Qinghai greets Senior Lu!"

Hong Qinghai knelt on one knee, his voice trembling a little.

"Get up."

Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.

"It's been seventy or eighty years since we last met. How are you now?"

"Please keep everything in mind, senior."

Hong Qinghai replied respectfully.

"When I left Yunxu Territory, I gave you this cave. But when I came back today, I didn't see any signs of life. What happened?"

Lu Xuan sat on a white marble chair and asked casually

"Replying to Senior, the shop is in Tianxing Tower, and I need to stay there every day. It is not very convenient to go back and forth, so I will not live in Senior's cave for the time being."

"I just thought that Senior might come back to visit, so I come here to clean up every once in a while."

Hong Qinghai found a suitable reason and spoke sincerely.

"You do have a heart."

Lu Xuan nodded lightly.

“How has the store been over the years?”

"Thanks to your reputation, and the support from Tianxing Cave and Hailou Chamber of Commerce, our business has been booming over the years, and we have never had any conflicts with other forces."

Hong Qinghai said solemnly.

"The store business needs to be taken care of, and you can't neglect your cultivation. How is your current cultivation?"

Lu Xuan asked gently.

“After the senior left, I practiced for more than ten years, but my strength improved slowly, so I took the Yuanling Pill you gave me, and I broke through to the late stage of foundation building and the perfect state in one fell swoop.”

Hong Qinghai's expression showed deep gratitude.

"Wen Qian advanced to the Jindan stage 20 to 30 years ago."

Lu Xuan said as usual.

"I am a junior with dull talent, and I have disappointed you, senior."

Hong Qinghai said quickly.

"This is the normal speed of cultivation. I can't say I'm disappointed."

"I will not bring you back to the Sword Sect this time when I come back, but the previous promise is still valid. When you reach the critical moment of breakthrough, you can use the power of the Chamber of Commerce and come to the Sword Sect to find me. I will help you advance to the Jindan stage."

"In addition, these Pure Yang Golden Lotus seeds and the Spiritual Nourishing Tea can help you refine your body and soul. Keep them well and take them when the time is right."

Lu Xuan gave some instructions and placed a red-gold lotus seed and a piece of glass-like light green tea leaves in front of Hong Qinghai.

"Thank you, senior!"

Hong Qinghai bowed his head heavily.

Lu Xuan encouraged him a few words, and he left in a hurry. Less than half an hour later, Taoist Mu, who had heard the news, came to the outside of the cave.

"Friend Mu, long time no see."

Lu Xuan took the initiative to go out to greet him.

After not seeing him for seventy or eighty years, Mu Dao Ren had obviously aged a lot, with slightly gray temples and a look of vicissitudes.

"Friend Lu, I heard that you have broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Congratulations."

"When I heard you were back, I thought of coming to see you."

Seeing Lu Xuan, who was already in the middle Nascent Soul stage, coming out in person to greet him, Taoist Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha, just looking at it is not enough. I have to have a few drinks to make up for the past few decades."

Lu Xuan laughed.

"I have just brewed a sixth-grade spiritual wine called Qinglian Wine, and it would be a good opportunity for you and Fellow Daoist Mu to taste it together."

"Today we won't go home until we are drunk."

"You won't come home until you're drunk!"

The two entered a quiet courtyard.

"How is Fellow Daoist Mu doing?"

When they were drunk, Lu Xuan asked.

"It's still the same. There's no hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. My life span is getting shorter and shorter, each year is worse than the last. I estimate that I only have a few decades left to live."

Taoist Mu gave a bitter smile, looked at Lu Xuan who was already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul next to him, and took a big gulp of Green Lotus Wine.

"Does Fellow Daoist Mu know any news about those familiar people in the Thunder Fire Star Cave?"

"After Guo Bingqiu was seriously injured, his foundation was greatly damaged and he passed away more than 30 years ago."

"Yulin Sanren was attacked by an evil cultivator while exploring a secret realm, and died."

"Fellow Daoist Ye Xuanyin had offended a Yuanying Zhenjun in Tianxing Cave and had moved out of Leihuoxing Cave many years ago. His life or death is unknown."

"besides……"

Taoist Mu continued to talk incessantly despite being drunk.

"Ugh……"

Lu Xuan sighed.

"I didn't expect that after not being back for so many years, Tianxing Cave has undergone such a big change."

His mind was filled with thousands of thoughts at this moment, and vivid figures flashed quickly through his sea of ​​consciousness.

“Sometimes I really envy you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for being able to enter the Dongxuan Sword Sect as a spiritual plant master, and even cultivate all the way to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm that is out of reach for us, and completely control your own destiny.”

A hint of envy flashed across Mu Daoren's eyes.

"Lu was just lucky enough to get some opportunities. The road ahead is long and there are still many areas where we need to work hard."

Lu Xuan said sincerely.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Mu, when I was in the Sword Sect, I collected a kind of longevity elixir called Tianyuan Fruit, and I also accidentally got a seventh-grade Guihe Yuandan. I give them all to you, Daoist, in the hope that you can extend your life."

"Otherwise, it will be hard to find someone to drink with next time I return to Yunxu Territory."

Lu Xuan smiled, and a pure white spiritual fruit with a bright spiritual light appeared in front of him, as well as a magical elixir surrounded by the shadows of an ancient spiritual turtle and a spiritual crane.

"The sixth-grade life-extending elixir, the Tianyuan Fruit?"

"There is also a seventh-grade Turtle Crane Yuandan?"

"But what about the elixir that is said to be able to make people rejuvenate and greatly increase their lifespan?"

Taoist Mu stared at the Turtle and Crane Yuandan floating in the air and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

"It is these two treasures."

Lu Xuan smiled slightly.

"This... is too expensive!"

"Especially the Turtle and Crane Yuandan. I am not lucky enough to enjoy it. Fellow Daoist Lu can keep it and exchange it for other treasures."

"Given the rarity of the Turtle and Crane Yuandan, maybe I can exchange it for an eighth-grade spirit seed for you, Brother Lu."

Mu Dao Ren looked away with difficulty.
