Chapter 137 - 135 Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree_l
“Thank you very much, junior brother.”
Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, a hint of delight emerged on the face of the gentle young man as he hastily handed over the peculiar tiny tree to Lu Xuan.
This unusual miniature tree was something he chanced upon. Although one could instantly see its special qualities, he had no understanding of the tree’s species, let alone the method of its cultivation.
Therefore, he could only keep it in his storage bag, helplessly watching as the vitality inside the tiny tree gradually drained away.
Now, being able to stop this decay in time and to obtain three Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea leaves and a rare Second-Level Dark Marrow Mushroom in exchange from Lu Xuan, was a satisfying outcome for him.
Lu Xuan was also pleased, and handed over the Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea leaves and Dark Marrow Mushroom to the gentle youth.
The little meeting at Qingtan soon ended, and he bid Sword Qing good-bye and returned to his cave dwelling.
In the house, he was checking the profits earned from his participation in the small meet.
He has spent eight Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea leaves and a Dark Marrow Mushroom, and has acquired a Beast bone of a Second-Level Demon Beast Barabrian Armored Bull, four Second-Level Ice Luo Fruit Spirit seeds, a remarkable pill furnace, and more importantly, a peculiar small tree.
All of these were currently essentials for him.
“Refined cultivation does yield satisfying results. Improving the quality of Spirit Plants has contributed significantly to their value.”
“If the Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea leaves and Dark Marrow Mushroom are of ordinary quality, then getting these items could have been extremely difficult.”
Lu Xuan secretly speculated, rejoicing over his ability to grasp the instantaneous state of the Spirit Plants and provide them with the most meticulous cultivation conditions. This method allows the quality of the matured Spirit Plants to be enhanced, which yields more profits for him.
He took the four Ice Luo Fruit Spirit seeds and the unusual tiny tree to the Spirit Field.
With a thought in his mind, he cast the Earth Pulling Technique, and the structure of the Spirit Soil continually changed, revealing a long, narrow crack.
Lu Xuan buried one Ice Luo Fruit Spirit seed into the crack, and by controlling the Spirit Soil’s changes, he covered the Spirit seed just right.
Immediately, he concentrated his mental activity onto the Spirit Seed that was buried shallow in the soil. A thought flashed in his mind.
[Ice Luo Fruit, Second Level Spirit Plant. Upon maturity, the Spirit Fruit provides a natural ice-cold taste which is extremely delicious.]
[After consumption, one can quickly replenish the spiritual power in the body. It also has excellent healing effects for external injuries caused by Fire System Techniques and internal injuries caused by fire poisons.]
[During cultivation, it needs to be nourished with ice elemental spiritual power.]
“Ice Elemental Spiritual Power Nourishment? That’s quite simple.”
Lu Xuan said, sighing at the limited amount of time he had for cultivation. Having already gotten a basic understanding of the “Little Five Elements Power”, he had mastered some fundamental Five Elements Spells. Naturally, he was able to unleash a technique that contained ice elemental spiritual power.
As he operated his internal spiritual power along a specific route, a Foggy Spirit Rain Technique was conjured above the Ice Luo Fruit Spirit Seed immediately.
He led the icy mist to seep into the Ice Luo Fruit Spirit Seed that was inside the Spirit Soil.
Subsequently, he planted the remaining three Ice Luo Fruit Spirit Seeds into the Spirit Field, nourishing them in the same manner with the icy mist spiritual power.
After the planting of the four Ice Luo Fruit Spirit seeds, Lu Xuan’s gaze moved onto the peculiar tiny tree.
He planned to plant the weird tree with abundant pupils into the Spirit Field to see what information he could receive. If it was just plain peculiar but the cultivation method and habits were normal, it could be planted in the cave dwelling.
If its cultivation method was sinister and bloody, and it gave off a menacing, horrific presence, it should be left to grow in the small courtyard he rented in the Sword Gate Town.
Lu Xuan cast the Earth Pulling Technique and planted the peculiar small tree into the Spirit Field.
With his spirit focused, a thought flashed in his mind.
[Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, Fourth Grade Spirit Plant, after maturity its fruit resembles peculiar pupils, it is an excellent material for refining Pupil Technique Method and Magic Artifacts. Can also be directly consumed to strengthen Cultivator and Demon Beast’s eyesight, after prolonged consumption, one can achieve the ability to break through illusion.]
[Every once in a while, it needs to be nurtured with fresh Demon Beast Eyeballs, the further it goes, the higher the grade required for the eyeballs.]
[During the cultivation process, one must not stare at the pupils on the spirit plant for a long time, otherwise, it would lead to the result of a cultivator losing their mind.]
“A Fourth Grade Spirit Plant?!”
Lu Xuan trembled inside, this weird little tree named Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree is actually a Fourth Grade Spirit Plant.
He had nurtured so many Spirit Plants but this was his first encounter with a Fourth Grade one.
Fourth Grade Spirit Plants have major effects on both mid-term and late-term Foundation Establishment, especially the fruit of this Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree after it matures. To cultivator who practices special cultivation methods, it’s no different than a strange treasure.
“The only regret is, indeed it is a sort of Demon Envoy class spirit plant, not only does it require fresh Demon Beast eyeballs for nourishment, the cultivation process might also injure the Spirit Plant Master.”
Lu Xuan thought of the information that appeared in his mind. If one stares at Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree for a long time, it could lead to the loss of a cultivator’s mind, showing how weird and bizarre this spirit plant is.”
“I can only keep it in the small courtyard in Sword Gate Town.”
Lu Xuan secretly thought. His cave dwelling was not suitable for cultivating such Spirit Plants, for the sake of acquiring light cluster rewards, he could only sneakily plant it in the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town.
As for the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree’s strange growth method, Lu Xuan didn’t mind at all. Be it regular Spirit Plants or weird Spirit Plants, as long as they can bring light cluster rewards, they are good Spirit Plants!
He dug this Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree out from the Spirit Soil, planning to find a time in the next few days to go out and plant it in the small courtyard in Sword Gate Town.
“Oh, cultivating Spirit Plants now feels like I’m a hare building three burrows, requiring two Spirit Fields, one for cultivating normal Spirit Plants and one for cultivating weird Spirit Plants.”
Lu Xuan chuckled and shook his head, knowing this was simply an act of helplessness. After all, his present publicly known identity is a disciple of orthodox sects. If people found out he was cultivating those Underworld Spirit Plants, it would cause a bad impact.”
Yet, this helplessness will be gone in the face of the future rich rewards of the light clusters.
He took out the Pill Furnace he swapped for from his storage bag, and duly placed the prepared spiritual medicine ingredients one by one.
“After absorbing so many Yuan Cultivating Pill Experience Packages, it is time to put it in action.”
At this moment, Lu Xuan was just like a newbie who had countless times watched his teacher practice and it was finally his turn to be in action, half nervous and half anticipating in his heart.
After the initial stiffness, his actions got quicker and more adept, as if he had simulated numerous times in his heart, knowing every step that was coming up next very well.
After a long while, a warmth spread out, the lid of the Pill Furnace banged open, and five round and full white elixirs shot out.
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Power moved, the elixirs fell into his palms.
“Success!”
“First time making an elixir turned out this fruitful, really worthy of the Cultivation Pill Prescription Experience Packages I absorbed.”
Lu Xuan exclaimed joyfully.
The quality of the five Yuan Cultivating Pills was very good, unlike what a Pill Master who was new to Alchemy could make.”
“If any sect senior should see this, that my first time making an elixir went so smoothly, even producing a high-grade quality elixir, they would have to exclaim–”
“Alchemy Genius, how terrifying!”
Thinking about this scene, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but smile, he knew his bottom line very well, his successful pill making was entirely due to the effects of the Pill Formula Experience Package.
Therefore, he was even more anticipating the cultivation of Spirit Plants that could reward high-grade elixir formulas..
