Chapter 236 - 234 Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet l
Under the stimulation of the earth fire, the phoenix pattern on charred wood became brighter, spiritual light surged in the slim dark golden cracks.
On the phoenix pattern, there were slight changes in the light gold-lined wings, which caused the earth fire river below to churn violently, sending a hot fire spirit aura to the bottom of the charred wood.
“The fire spirit aura is still not enough.”
Lu Xuan looked at the dark gold phantom on the Phoenix Wood and muttered under his breath.
He brought this six-grade ancient spirit plant, Phoenix Wood, into the earth fire stream to test whether he can successfully cultivate the Phoenix Wood under the stimulation of the earth fire.
Regrettably, it was even hard for the Phoenix phantom to burst out of the charred wood, let alone soaring in the sky.
“It seems that the only solution is to look for some high-grade strange fire to nurture the growth of the Phoenix Wood.”
Lu Xuan sighed quietly, he used the Earth Pulling Technique, and a depression quietly appeared in the upper part of the rock wall by the earth fire stream.
He carefully placed the charred wood into the small hole, intending to allow more fire spirit energy to remain in the charred wood’s spiritual nature.
Even if he cannot promote its growth, as long as he can maintain the vitality of the Phoenix Wood, Lu Xuan would be satisfied.
After disposing of the gains obtained from the Langyue Blessed Land, Lu Xuan then had time to properly examine the growth conditions of various spirit plants on the mountain peak.
There were significant changes in the spirit plants planted around, as he had not returned to his cave dwelling for a short while.
The sixteen stalks of Second Grade Water Firefly Grass that were left behind for seed condensing each had several luminescent blue seeds condensing on the tip of their slender leaves.
The seeds were like clear lakes, surging a slight chill from their surface, and the spiritual sense seeping into them could perceive the rich water spirit aura within.
The Water Firefly Grass, which have matured some time ago, have wilted compared to the vivid contrast of the spirit seeds atop them, as if all the essences of the plant body have melted into the seeds.
Lu Xuan circulated his spiritual power, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the spirit seeds, making the life within seeming to be frozen.
He carefully picked them and put them into a special jade box.
Next, as long as they are processed in a special way and stored for some time, they can be thrown into the planting process.
The number of spirit seeds condensed from the second – grade Water Firefly Grass was nearly half less than that of the non-rank Spirit Firefly Grass. In the end, the sixteen Water Firefly Grasses condensed eighty-five spiritual seeds.
However, Lu Xuan was extremely satisfied, after all, the cultivation reward brought by Water Firefly Grass is ten times that of Spirit Firefly Grass. Even if only some light clusters inaugurate cultivation, it would greatly benefit him.
“Eighty-five second-grade Water Firefly Grass, a small part continue condensing spirit seeds, the other part should bring me at least twenty to thirty years of cultivation reward.”
“I really want to progress.”
Lu Xuan sincerely lamented.
Without the cultivation rewards brought by the light clusters, his cultivation progress could be described as stagnant, and with his ordinary qualifications, he didn’t know when he will breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
As for the previously mutated fire spirit seeds, due to the high breakage rate of the spirit seeds, and since he already obtained the second-grade Water Firefly Grass, Lu Xuan reluctantly gave up and focused on the Water Firefly Grass.
After dealing with the condensing seed issue of Water Firefly Grass, Lu Xuan proceeded to patrol the Spirit Field.
“Grass Puppet, come over here!”
As he passed a Spirit Field, he saw the Grass Puppet tirelessly patrolling and called it over.
After the Grass Puppet was upgraded to second grade and received numerous promotions from Lu Xuan using Qingmu Origin Energy, its spiritual intelligence had significantly increased.
Hearing the command, it looked up at Lu Xuan, and with its huge head wrapped in gray grass, it hurried towards him with small steps.
A strand of soft green spiritual energy surged into the chest of the Grass Puppet, causing the central area of it to become instantly green. The lush green spiritual light spread in all directions, and in just a few breaths, it turned into a small-headed big green grass person.
After dyeing the Grass Puppet green, Lu Xuan continued his inspection of the Spirit Field.
“Another Jade Scale Fruit has ripened!”
When he reached the area in which the Jade Scale Fruit was planted, his Spiritual Sense scanned it and immediately discerned the growth status of the Spirit Plant.
After picking two previously, there were now six left in total. Upon this return, he swiftly detected two Jade Scale Fruits that had fully matured after inspecting them with his Spiritual Sense.
He held his breath, his palm transformed into a glaze-like bone, and gently gripped the Jade Scale Fruit, plucking it from the thin jade-like leaves.
The Jade Scale Fruit in his hand was releasing the cooling scent of jade, its external jade-like scales overlapping one another like fish scales, revealing the translucent Spirit Fruit within.
“Good quality, not too bad.”
Amidst Lu Xuan’s sighing, his mind gathered and a thought flashed by.
[Jade Scale Fruit, third-grade Spirit Plant. Consumption enhances a cultivator or demon beast’s body strength and can be used in certain Body Refining Elixirs production.]
Feeling emotional, Lu Xuan extended his hand towards the emerging white light cluster with anticipation.
The light cluster flickered slightly at the location where the Jade Scale Fruit had been plucked, hiding within the thin jade leaves, appearing and disappearing.
The moment he touched the light cluster, it transformed into countless light spots and flowed into Lu Xuan’s body.
[Harvest a third-grade Jade Scale Fruit, obtain a Fourth Grade Spirit Mine Red Gang Jade.]
A piece of ore the size of a baby’s head appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand. It was scarlet in color, the surface was rough, uneven, and one could just about make out a jade marrow-like substance slowly flowing inside.
This Red Gang Jade is a fourth-grade Spirit Mine, which contains a large amount of jade essence and can be used to craft Flying Swords and Magical Artifacts.
“Though I obtained a piece of Red Gang Jade the last time, naturally, the more fourth-grade Spirit Mines, the better.”
Lu Xuan muttered and shifted his attention to the other fully matured Jade Scale Fruit.
“Superior quality Jade Scale Fruit.”
Previously, the three Jade Scale Fruits were of good quality and brought a third-rank magic Seal of Fengyue Yuyin artifact, two pieces of Fourth Grade Spirit Mine Red Gang Jade; the rewards are bountiful.
Therefore, this superior quality Jade Scale Fruit naturally raised Lu Xuan’s anticipation by a few notches.
He ignored the Jade Scale Fruit in his hand and quickly stored it in his storage bag.
Then, as he looked at the white light cluster hanging high amid the jade-like leaves, he gently jumped up and caught it.
The moment he touched the cluster, it transformed into countless light spots and surged into his body through his shoulder.
A thought flashed across his mind.
[Harvest a third-grade Jade Scale Fruit, obtain a Fourth Grade Treasure Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet.]
An exquisite jade tablet appeared in his hand, the jade tablet was about three inches long and one inch wide, completely transparent and clear, with hair- thin white Spiritual Power flowing subtly within it.
In his hand, there was a cooling sensation, which seemed capable of driving away all wickedness and agitation from within.
Combining his spirits, Lu Xuan quickly learned about the jade tablet’s detailed information.
[Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet, fourth grade treasure. Crafted from Cloud Mountain Jade and possesses extremely powerful abilities to repel evil and ward off disaster. It is the natural nemesis of many Strange Class, Trick Level evil invasions. It can be used as a protective magical artifact, as well as engraving evil-exorcising runes on the jade tablet to attack evil invasions.]
“A fourth-grade treasure, worthy of being a superior-quality Spirit Fruit.”
“This Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet can be used as a natural protective magical artifact, and special runes can also be engraved on it to further enhance its power.”
Lu Xuan played with the exquisite jade clasp, his interest piqued.
