Chapter 165: Incineration Wood
"This is it."
Not long after, the gentle female cultivator led Lu Xuan and the others to a spiritual field.
The field was enclosed by a tight fence. As the female cultivator approached, the fence automatically opened, revealing a narrow path.
Dozens of spiritual plants grew within the field.
The plants were wrist-thick, about half a person's height, with a pale red hue. Their trunks bore many dark red patterns, as if the entire tr...

The moment Lu Xuan received information about the pure white phoenix, he immediately made the decision to hold onto this opportunity tightly.
To possess the strength of a third-tier spirit beast even in its infancy, coupled with powerful parents in the background—where else could he find such a strong backing? He put on a friendly smile and slowly approached the pure white phoenix.

"Spending over two hundred spirit stones on the beast's eye pupils and another hundred on the insect eggs, these spirit stones really don't last," Lu Xuan sighed, holding the black armored bug egg and a jar containing the silver-threaded mantis.
"One is for cultivating the fourth-grade Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood, and the other for the fourth-grade Profound Insect Vine. It's still manageable."
