Chapter 1160: Chapter 1157: Turbulence Chapter 1160: Chapter 1157: Turbulence “Before his voice had fallen, a tall elder shot out from within the majestic palace.”

“The elder was at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, wrapped in a pale red flame. Wherever he passed, the surrounding Spiritual Energy burned into twisting voids.”

“I am Yan Li, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Friend Lu.”

“”On behalf of the Fire God Palace, I welcome Friend Lu to be our guest.”

“”Friend, please come this way.”

The tall elder laughed heartily.

“”I have met Yan, Friend.”

“Please arrange for this Spirit Beast of Lu Mou.”

Lu Xuan gave an instruction to the red-robed Cultivator and followed the elder, passing through layers of Prohibitions and Restrictions, into the inner parts of the Fire God Palace.”

The two arrived at a spacious grand hall.

“”I’ve heard that Friend Lu is skilled at crafting various high-rank Spirit Brews. Unfortunately, there’s no one in the Fire God Palace who is an expert in this field. However, luckily we have a Spirit Spring naturally born from earth and heaven, and its taste is quite decent. Please have a taste, friend.”

Soon, several lovely maidens gracefully entered the hall carrying Spirit Fruit Spirit Brews.

Lu Xuan picked up a golden cup, his Divine Sense sweeping over the red Spiritual Liquid within before taking a big sip.”

“As soon as it entered his stomach, the Spiritual Liquid turned into a warm current that surged into his limbs and bones, making him feel as if he was soaked in a hot spring, utterly comfortable.”

“”Not bad.”

“The Spiritual Liquid had a mellow, soft taste with a lingering aftertaste, prompting Lu Xuan to praise.”

“And these Fire Jade Lotus Seeds are also a major specialty of the Fire God Palace, although they may not seem impressive in front of a Spirit Plant master like Friend Lu.”

Yan Li pointed to the more than ten seeds in the dish that looked like fiery red amber and said with a smile.”

“Is this a Fifth Grade Spirit Fruit? The taste is quite good, and it seems to contain a hint of pure Fire attribute spiritual power within.”

Lu Xuan picked up a seed and tossed it into his mouth.”

The Fire Jade Lotus Seeds, though also Fifth Grade, were much inferior in taste and effect compared to the Pure Yang Golden Lotus Seeds. However, this thought was kept in his heart and not expressed openly.”

Moreover, for the Fire God Palace to serve such Fifth Grade Lotus Seeds to guests was already quite courteous.”

“”I heard Friend Lu wishes to meet the esteemed Fire God Ape?”

After exchanging a few words, Yan Li asked proactively.”

“”The last time the Fire God Ape visited the Dongxuan Sword Sect, he found the Spirit Brew crafted by Lu Mou quite to his taste, so he asked me to deliver some from time to time.”

“Today, I am here for this purpose.”

Lu Xuan explained.”

“”Very well, Friend Lu, please wait a moment and allow me to go and report to the Fire God Ape Elder.”

For Spirit Beasts like the Fire God Ape and the Old Sword Serpent who were nearing the end of their lifespans and possessed great strength, the Sects went to great lengths to prevent any disturbance to them. Therefore, it required going through numerous procedures to have a chance to meet them.”

Shortly thereafter, Yan Li flew into the grand hall hurriedly.”

“”Friend Lu, this way, please.”

He led Lu Xuan deeper into the Fire God Palace.”

Passing through a Mysterious Formation, the two landed in a fiery red jungle.”

Countless giant fiery red trees spread their branches upward, forming a marvelous nest where the Fire God Ape lay lazily, its presence withdrawn, resembling an aged monkey nearing the end of its years.”

“”Junior Lu Xuan, I’ve had the honor of meeting you, senior.”

Conscious of the true strength of the Fire God Ape, Lu Xuan was not deceived by the scene before him. He came forward and respectfully bowed.”

“”You’ve arrived a bit quicker than I expected, youngster.”

The Fire God Ape got up lazily and yawned.”

“Junior has already prepared the Spirit Brew. As soon as the two types of Spirit Fruits were ripe, I brought them for you, senior.”

Lu Xuan spoke earnestly.”

In his hands appeared more than thirty Pure Yang Golden Lotus Seeds, ten Red Flaming Pears, as well as twenty bottles each of Heart Flame Wine and Ape Demon Wine.”

The Fire God Ape sniffed the delicious aroma, its nostrils flaring as the top of a bottle of Heart Flame Wine cracked open, and a strand of golden spirit brew mixed with pure white flames flew into its mouth.”

“”It’s the same old flavor.”

“The quality of the Spirit Brew you craft is still quite good, youngster.”

The Fire God Ape nodded in satisfaction, then grabbed a Red Flaming Pear and squinted its eyes to savor the taste of this fifth grade Spirit Fruit.

It naturally loved fire attribute spiritual objects, as well as the strong-tasting Spirit Brews, and with the Spirit Fruits cultivated and brewed by Lu Xuan, the quality was always top-notch; therefore, it had offered an eighth-grade Spiritual Seed, specifically asking him to deliver some Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew to the Fire God Palace from time to time.

Yan Li, who was beside them, kept a composed expression upon seeing the many treasure items Lu Xuan presented but internally marveled at his generosity.

“A fifth-grade Pure Yang Golden Lotus of superior quality, no wonder the senior Fire God Ape isn’t too fond of the same-rank Fire Jade Lotus within the palace.”

“The origin of the other type of Spirit Fruit is unknown, but judging by its appearance, it seems superior to the Fire Jade Lotus.”

“And there are forty bottles of fifth-grade Spirit Brew!”

“So many treasure items, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would find them to be of considerable value.”

Yan Li thought to himself.

“Right, how is that old geezer doing now? He didn’t kick the bucket silently, did he?”

The Fire God Ape asked while tasting the Spirit Brew.

“Elder Sword Serpent is as usual; before junior came over, he especially asked junior to send his regards to you.”

Lu Xuan carefully replied.

“Hahaha! When you return, tell him I’m living well and he can rest easy!”

The Fire God Ape’s laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth, causing the fiery clouds above to rapidly change.

“Alright, junior will remember that.”

Lu Xuan didn’t know how to respond and simply followed along with what the Fire God Ape said.

“I’m very satisfied with the Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew you brought this time; remember to maintain this quality next time.”

The Fire God Ape scooped up the remaining Spirit Fruits and Spirit Brews and chuckled softly.

“It’s not easy to come all this way, so have a good time in the Sunstrike Domain.”

“Yan Li, you are responsible for entertaining this young fellow from Dongxuan Sword Sect.”

It casually instructed the tall elder behind it.

“Yes!”

Yan Li quickly obliged.

“Then junior will take his leave.”

Seeing this, Lu Xuan clasped his hands towards the Fire God Ape.

“Go ahead.”

Both of them quickly left the resting place of the Fire God Ape.

“It turns out Friend Lu has made a connection with senior Fire God Ape because of Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew.”

Once outside, Yan Li said with a smile.

“Perhaps for senior Fire God Ape, being able to taste more delicacies of the world is also a nice experience.”

Lu Xuan reflected.

“Friend Lu speaks the truth.”

“Friend Lu has traveled countless miles to come to the Fire God Palace; it’s a must to enjoy the palace thoroughly.”

“Although Sunstrike Domain isn’t as vast as the realm where Sword Sect resides, there are also many strange and special places worth seeing.”

“Among them, there are many distinctive Spirit Plants that might catch Friend Lu’s eye.”

The two flew swiftly through the Fire God Palace, stopping now and then at various unique spirit lands as Yan Li would pause to give Lu Xuan detailed introductions.

Although this incarnation of Lu Xuan here was only a White Lotus Avatar, the pleasure he received from sight and sound was no different from that of his true self.

He immersed himself wholeheartedly in the peculiar and magnificent scenery.

Three days later, while the two were exploring an underground stone cave, Yan Li’s expression suddenly changed but then quickly returned to normal.

“Daoist Yan, has something happened?”

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

“Inside the Fire God Palace, a Nascent Soul Elder’s unruly Spirit Beast has clashed with the Spirit Beast you brought with you, Friend Lu.”

Yan Li informed him seriously.
