Chapter 66 - 65 Immaculate Jade_l
The pure spiritual light did not cause any disturbance, and Lu Xuan relaxed. He scooped up half a bowl of spirit spring water from the spiritual spring pool and poured it onto the severely damaged blood spirit leaf.
The blood spirit leaf greedily absorbed the spirit spring water; its broad leaves languidly drooping, with the tip of the leaf gently touching the surface of the spirit soil.
“Finally, the disease of this blood spirit leaf has been resolved.
Lu Xuan returned to his room, his thoughts drifting.
This meant not only could he solve the problem of his planted spiritual plants being invaded and polluted, but he could also deal with other diseased spiritual plants under the prerequisite of transplanting them into his own spirit field.
Although it would obtain virtually no light cluster rewards for not cultivating the spirit plants from the beginning, this method could still bring him many benefits if used properly.
At this thought, his mood immediately brightened.
After some contemplation, he took one hundred and twenty spirit firefly grass seeds to the spirit field.
Planting and cultivating spiritual plants and obtaining white light clusters is the correct path.
After the hundred spirit firefly grass matured, a large area of the spirit field was freed up.
Lu Xuan used the earth pulling technique, creating small cracks in the spirit soil that could perfectly accommodate the thin and shriveled spirit firefly grass seeds.
More than a hundred spirit firefly grass seeds were planted and covered with a round of spirit rain technique, which permeated the soil and nourished the thin spiritual seeds.
After planting the spirit firefly grass, Lu Xuan made a round of inspection in the spirit field.
The second-grade sword grass had grown to a height of three feet, standing straight, like a sharp sword pointing to the sky.
There were many small sword auras swirling around the sword grass, and the spirit soil underneath was full of tiny sword marks.
Lu Xuan tossed a golden sword technique at it. The golden sword Qi flowed over the body of the sword grass, leaving shallow golden patterns.
Under the specially built wooden shed, the second-grade dark marrow mushroom planted at the same time had almost filled the entire shed with its dark red mycelium. Lu Xuan could vaguely see a thick dark red liquid flowing through the vessel-like channels inside the dark marrow mushroom.
The white smoke around the phantom smoke fruit was covering a larger area, which was about to reach one and a half meters. The density of the smoke was also increasing, effectively hiding the plant.
Spiritual senses were greatly affected in the smoke, so it took Lu Xuan a long time to locate it. However, he hit the plant accurately with a water rain technique, thoroughly moisturizing it.
Three clear and wonderful spirit teas, the twisted branches of the tea tree had many fresh green buds. In contrast with the powerful and twisted old roots, the young buds appeared more distinctive and independent.
The twenty first-grade blood jade ginseng plants were also growing quite well. Planted for nearly half a year, they are not very far from maturity.
As for the flood dragon vine, after digesting the bottle of double-winged golden-scaled snake blood, it was just barely hanging on with Lu Xuan’s spirit rain technique.
As time flew by, three days passed in a blink.
The one hundred twenty spirit firefly grass seeds that were planted had sprouted one after another, emerging with small buds.
The young buds were not eye-catching and could only be spotted upon close inspection – – swaying gently in the breeze, epitomizing vulnerability.
However, Lu Xuan could sense a soaring power from their tiny bodies, which was a strong sign of life, making him feel fantastic.
After inspecting the spirit field and confirming that all spirit plants were in good condition, Lu Xuan was just about to return to his room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He opened the courtyard door to see Yu Jie, the young man, holding a white jade bottle in his hand.
“Senior Lu, I came to bring you the azure water python blood.”
Upon seeing Lu Xuan, the pale-faced youth smiled, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.
“Thank you for your trouble, come in.”
Lu Xuan ushered the boy into the courtyard.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell in front of the youth. The cloud leopard glared at him with its emerald-green pupils, slowly circling around Yu Jie’s neck.
The young boy’s clothes suddenly bulged as a giant green snake slithered out from the space between his neck and clothes, its head moving in time with the Cloud Leopard’s, hissing intermittently.
“Move aside.”
At first, Lu Xuan noted the Cloud Leopard’s reaction, thinking that the creature had detected some malicious presence on the boy. But seeing that the cub did not growl as it had before, he was relieved.
Yu Jie, the pale boy, was also restraining the giant green snake inside his body.
Once the two Spirit Beasts had calmed down, Lu Xuan invited Yu Jie to sit inside the house.
“Senior Lu, this is a full bottle of Azure Water Python Blood. Minus the weight of the bottle itself, the blood slightly exceeds a kilogram. We can calculate the cost using the price we agreed on previously”
The boy passed a jade bottle to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan held it, gently shaking it. The boy was not lying; there was indeed just over a kilogram of snake blood inside.
“Very well, I accept it. Here are the remaining five Spirit Stones.”
“The next time your father catches another Azure Water Python, bring over the collected blood and I’ll give you the Spirit Stones.”
Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction to the boy.
Yu Jie took the five Spirit Stones from Lu Xuan. His eyes, small as they were, crinkled in mirth.
He carefully stowed the five Spirit Stones away in his clothes, thanked Lu Xuan with a bow, and then excused himself to leave.
Lu Xuan opened the bottle. The strange red-green liquid inside gave off an intense, peculiar fragrance.
He carefully poured the red-green liquid over the Flood Dragon Vine.
Suddenly, the vine seemed to come alive, clinging tightly to the liquid that had landed on it and greedily absorbing it.
In a while, green hints started to appear on the vine. Against the black of the vine, these gave off an enchanting aura.
“Thanks to the Azure Water Python Blood provided by the Yu family, I can now stably cultivate the Flood Dragon Vine in the long term.”
He then moved on to the Red Cloud Pine, where the final two Red Cloud Pine Nuts had ripened.
One of the nuts was of Superior Quality, the other of Perfect Grade-the only perfect nut among the five.
Two white clusters of light appeared where the nuts had been picked, glinting slightly. Even through the slender pine needles, they were unmistakable.
Lu Xuan gently picked up the first white light cluster, the one of Superior Quality.
“Harvested one Red Cloud Pine Nut and acquired one volume of the ‘Fundamentals of Rune Making.'”
A thought flashed through his mind, and he found himself with a deeper understanding of materials processing and rune drawing techniques.
One Experience Package, Basic Fu Talisman: From Beginner to Proficient.” Having obtained two ‘Fundamentals of Rune Making’ from the five Red Cloud Pine Nuts, Lu Xuan’s knowledge of dozens of Basic First Grade Talismans deepened further.
Alchemy and Talisman drawing both consume Spirit Stones at a high rate in the early stages, however, with a high chance of failure leading to losses. This was only for gaining more experience in these areas.
So, Lu Xuan isn’t in a hurry to draw Talismans, choosing to wait till he had absorbed more Experience Packages.
His anticipation heightened even further for the second white light cluster- the one left by the Perfect Grade Red Cloud Pine Nut.
As a thought flickered through his mind, an transparent jade talisman appeared in his hand.
His surroundings were brought into sharp focus by the transparency of the jade talisman-as though a filter had been applied to everything-everything was bright, clean, and clear.
“Immaculate Jade, a third-grade auxiliary treasure. It can purify the mind and prevent evil invasions and pollution. Wearing it for a long term will slightly enhance the Spiritual Sense of Cultivators..”
