Chapter 219 - 217: Fengyue Yuyin, Scarlet Firmament Jade_l
“It’s really beautiful.”
Against the backdrop of the stark white jade box, the jade scale fruit placed in the center was crystal clear. A spiritual light flickered over its tightly-placed jade-like folds, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
As Lu Xuan admired it, his consciousness focused on the jade scale fruit.
[fade Scale Fruit, Grade 3 Spirit Fruit. Direct consumption can enhance the physique of cultivators or demon beasts, and it can also be used to concoct certain body refinement elixirs.]
“It can be directly consumed to improve physique, not bad.”
Lu Xuan was in no hurry to consume this jade scale fruit. He slightly tilted his head and looked at the plant that looked like jade.
At the position where the jade scale fruit was harvested, a white light cluster was hanging on the branches, shimmering slightly.
“It’s time for the reward.”
Lu Xuan calmed his emotions, stood on tiptoes, and gently touched the surface of the light cluster.
The moment he touched it, the light cluster turned into countless tiny points of light, carrying a pearly jade light, and surged into Lu Xuan’s body.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested a Grade 3 Jade Scale Fruit, obtained a third-grade magic weapon, the Fengyue Jade Seal.]
As the thought faded, a delicate, small jade seal quietly appeared in his hand.
The jade seal was square, about three inches long and wide. Despite its small size, it was incredibly heavy, causing Lu Xuan’s palm to unconsciously droop down.
Vague images of mountains were concealed within the jade seal, and the perspective changed depending on which angle one viewed it from.
Lu Xuan focused his consciousness on the delicate jade seal and immediately knew detailed information about the jade seal.
[Fengyue Jade Seal, third-grade magic weapon, forged from a jade mountain. It’s heavier than mountains and can be controlled to change its size after refining.]
“A third-grade magic weapon.”
Lu Xuan’s heart was filled with joy.
The jade scale fruit he got was of good quality, and getting a rare third-grade magic artifact was already quite good.
He briefly refined the Fengyue Jade Seal and then moved it with his mind.
“Bigger! Bigger! Bigger!”
He tossed the jade seal into the air where it spun around, rapidly expanding in size.
In the blink of an eye, it had grown to about five zhang long, hovering in the air like a jade hill.
Fearing that he might damage the plants on the mountain, Lu Xuan controlled the jade seal to return to its normal size.
“If I refine it more proficiently and pour in enough spiritual power, this jade seal can grow even bigger.”
“If I encounter any opponents in the future, I can just smash them directly. Simple and crude.”
Lu Xuan put away the Fengyue Jade Seal, glanced at the jade scale fruit in the jade box, and took a deep breath of the refreshing fragrance lingering around the box.
“The fruit’s so beautiful, how can I bear to eat it?”
“It’s really fragrant.”
The jade scale fruit slid into his stomach. Instantly, a rich fragrance burst forth in his abdomen, and a jade-like spiritual power filled every part of Lu Xuan’s body, gently nourishing every inch of his body.
“First there was the Gold Marrow Jade Liquid, now there’s the Jade Scale Fruit, coupled with the LiuLi Bone-Tempering Method, and the Transforming Dragon in the Void, my defense has been maximized.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
After harvesting a mature jade scale fruit, there were still seven left on the plant, all of which had entered the mature stage.
Lu Xuan was not in a hurry and did not use the Qingmu Origin Energy in his Dantian to ripen them.
“Jade Scale Fruit, Sword Nurturing Gourd, plus the more than thirty strains of Water Glow Grass sifted out multiple times, by the time the Langyue Blessed Land opens, I can harvest quite a few light clusters.”
At this point, there was less than a month left before the opening of the Blessed Land. The sect had already revealed the detailed arrangements for the opening.
Although he seldom ventured outside, Lu Xuan could still perceive the subtle changes in the atmosphere within the Sect. The number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators returning to the Sect was increasing, and there was an undercurrent of restlessness.
Having a Sword Command in his hand, he was naturally content to wait patiently, relaxed and at ease.
In the courtyard, Lu Xuan gently shook the cup in his hand.
In the cup, the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice swirled.
Lu Xuan took a small sip, the fragrances of various spirit fruits blended together, harmonious yet distinct. He could taste the wonderful changes in flavor.
“No wonder that Fifth Rank Qing Xuan Deer was still thinking about this Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice before it died.”
“Even without the emotional factors mixed in, the taste of the spirit juice is well worth its longing.”
Lu Xuan tasted the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice while thinking in secret.
Preparing Spirit Juice required dozens of different spirit fruits, which were difficult to collect. Last time in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, it was only by leveraging the Sect’s power that he was able to collect them in time.
When Lu Xuan came up with the idea of making it himself, he didn’t personally go about collecting the spirit fruits. Instead, he spent a handful of spirit stones to post a task in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. By offering a slightly higher price, a large number of Outer Sect Disciples took up the task on his behalf and collected enough spirit fruits.
The Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice was powerful, and drinking too much would inevitably lead to a wave of drunkenness.
In the yard, Wind Falcon had its broad wings stretched out, with its belly facing up, lying on the ground. The Fire Jiao Dragon was as limp as a dead snake, lying on Wind Falcon’s round belly, motionless.
Cloud Leopard was trying to maintain its graceful posture, walking with an unsteady gait, looking drunk. Even its roar had become full of connotations.
“That’s what you get for being greedy.”
Lu Xuan looked at the unconscious Wind Falcon and the Young Drake and said with a chuckle.
Not long after he had prepared the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, the three of them took advantage of his absence while he was inspecting the Spirit Field to stealthily drink a lot of it, leading to them all falling into a drunken stupor.
With a touch of drunkenness, Lu Xuan roamed around the Spirit Field, carefully assessing the growth situation of the spirit plants.
He came to the Jade Scale Fruit Spirit Plant and focused his mind on a jade scale fruit that he had been paying attention to for a long time.
As expected, the progress bar below the Jade Scale Fruit was completely filled up.
“The second Jade Scale Fruit has matured.”
Lu Xuan was instantly sober. His palm turned into jade, carefully holding the stem of the Jade Scale Fruit and forcefully pulling it down.
He casually glanced over and found that the quality of this Jade Scale Fruit was the same as the last one, both were of good quality.
A thought emerged from his mind.
[Jade Scale Fruit, a Grade 3 Spirit Fruit, nurtured and stimulated by jade energy…]
Lu Xuan skimmed over the thought, focusing entirely on the white light group that was about to fall from between the jade leaves.
He reached up high, as if capturing the moon, and hooked the white light group.
The light group exploded silently, turning into countless tiny light dots. In an instant, they all surged into Lu Xuan’s body.
[Harvested one Grade 3 Jade Scale Fruit, obtained a fourth Grade Jade Spirit Mineral, Scarlet Firmament Jade.]
The numerous light dots disappeared, and a piece of mineral appeared in Lu Xuan’s palm.
The mineral was about the size of a baby’s head, with a rough, uneven surface. It was reddish, and inside flowed something similar to jade marrow.
Lu Xuan focused his mind on the Spirit Mineral in his hand, and he instantly perceived detailed information about it.
[Scarlet Firmament Jade, Fourth Grade Spirit Mineral, containing a large amount of Jade Essence, can be used to refine corresponding Magic Artifacts, Flying Swords.]
“Fourth Grade Spirit Mineral!”
Lu Xuan was not skilled in refining, so he had no choice but to store away the Scarlet Firmament Jade in his hand for now.
“This Jade Scale Fruit can also improve the constitution of the Demon Beasts. I can let them have it.”
Without knowing it, the three of them had gathered around him, their eyes fixated with fervor on the luminous Jade Scale Fruit in Lu Xuan’s hand.
Lu Xuan did not hesitate. A black sword radiance burst out from his body, cutting the Jade Scale Fruit into three even parts, one for each of them.
