After Lu Xuan fully absorbed the Second Grade Purifying Spell, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity, silently recited the spell, and cast it on himself.
Suddenly, he felt as if his whole body was in an ice pit, all the miscellaneous thoughts and desires in his brain were dispelled by the cold, leaving only a vast expanse of whiteness.
He actively recalled the letters and numbers, teachers’ names, and numerous figures from his past life that flashed through his mind, but his heart was free of any fluctuations.
“I have lost my earthly desires.”
Lu Xuan sighed and now had a general understanding of this Second Grade Purifying Spell.
He put together the five leaves of the Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea he had just collected and continued to inspect his Spirit Field.
Under the Spirit Spring Strange Stone, the young Iron Claw Crab saw Lu Xuan coming over and proudly raised its pair of blade-like dark green claws, appearing mighty. As the crab opened and closed its claws, it seemed to be showing off its power to Lu Xuan.
“Looks like you’ve grown quite a bit during this time. Let me give you some firsthand experience.”
Lu Xuan took out the most aggressive young Iron Claw Crab and had the Cloud Leopard watch it so it wouldn’t go back into the Spirit Spring. He then poured a pile of Copper and Iron Ore out of his Storage Bag.
Piece by piece, the ore was delivered to the foot of the Iron Claw Crab’s claws. The crunching sound was continuous and pleasing to the ear.
Only when the Copper and Iron Ore turned into small fragmented stones did Lu Xuan stop, sparing the young Iron Claw Crab whose claws, by now, were slightly trembling.
He took some Cold Water from the well and poured it into the cave to water the surroundings of the Yin Locust Tree.
Coming out of the cave and into the sunlight, the strong chill on his body started to dissipate.
He moved over to the Spirit Field Area where the Flowing Light Wood and Copper Bone Bamboo were planted. After casting the Spirit Rain Technique, Tree Life Spell, and other formula methods according to their subtle needs, he cleared the patterns from the Flowing Light Wood, and left a big pile of reddish copper and iron fragments at the base of the Copper Bone Bamboo.
After checking the growth condition of Phantom Smoke Fruit, Lu Xuan moved to the Flood Dragon Vine.
He took out a white jade small bottle from his Storage Bag, filled with fresh blood he had extracted from Flood Dragon Pythons.
“Flood Dragon Vine, Flood Dragon Vine, in order to make you mature quickly, I lost my pride and dignity; asking for a bit here, begging for some there to gather this precious Flood Dragon Blood.”
“There are many different varieties, just treat it as blood from a hundred species.”
“I have no other requirements, I only hope that you will grow well, mature quickly in return for all my hard work. That’s the best reward for me.”
As Lu Xuan was watering the Dragon Blood, he muttered to himself.
Compared to the Azure Water Python Blood, the Dragon Blood was indeed much more effective.
After the Flood Dragon Vine absorbed the blood, the whole vine seemed to come alive, constantly twisting, looking like a demonically bewitching black snake.
“I wonder if the blood of other Flood Dragons and Chi Dragons could enhance the quality of the Flood Dragon Vine.”
Lu Xuan observed for a while on the side, then left the Spirit Field and returned to his house.
The consecutive tasks of cultivating Monkey-faced Orchids and raising a Flood Dragon Demon Beast allowed him to understand the immediate status of different Spirit Plants and Beasts more clearly, extra earning many Sword Marks.
Raising a Flood Dragon for one month gave him ten Sword Marks, breaking a Red-Scaled Python provided a reward of ten, and breaking an Ice Chi provided fifty. Added to the eighty-seven Sword Marks he had before, he now had a total of one hundred and fifty-seven Sword Marks at hand.
“I earned one hundred and fifty-seven Sword Marks from those two tasks. Many of my fellows who have been experiencing hardships out there, even nearly dying, might not have earned as much as I did.”
Lu Xuan sighed.
“With so many Sword Marks, I have more than enough to buy a Third-Grade Spirit Species and can also buy an egg of a demon bird for speed breeding.” When he entered the Agricultural Department Hall last time, he noticed that the amount of Sword Marks needed for Third-Grade Spirit Species varied from dozens to hundreds.
Therefore, he wanted to buy a Demon Bird and give it a try.
Because of the unique nature of his Spirit Field requiring him to cultivate his Spirit Plant daily, he wasn’t able to stay in the Thousand Dragon Lake Stone House and had to travel back and forth each day.
The journey was too long and had to be undertaken by Spirit Crane, consuming two Spirit Stones a day.
Even though he could afford this commuting expense with his current wealth, Lu Xuan had always been economical, with no plans to buy a flying artifact. Therefore, he planned to raise a flying beast.
When it grows, it can be used for commuting. At the same time, rewarding Light Clusters can also be obtained, a win-win situation.
He arrived at a hall known as the Taming Beast Hall, which was much more luxurious than the Agricultural Department Hall, no doubt greatly contributed by the Spirit Cranes.
You should know that the omnipresent Spirit Cranes inside the Sky Sword Sect are under the jurisdiction of the Taming Beast Hall, bringing in an unknown amount of spirit stone revenue every day.
Lu Xuan quietly calculated in his heart, marveling at the extravagance of the Beast Taming Hall, he entered the hall.
“Greetings senior sister, I’d like to purchase a Demon Bird Egg or a Demon Bird Juvenile. The rank should be second-grade. It would be best if it excels in speed. I can pay with Spirit Stones or Sword Mar.” Lu Xuan said to a female cultivator of the Taming Beast Hall after entering.
Although grade one Demon Birds are easier to cultivate, the potential Light Cluster rewards are probably mediocre. The grade three ones would strain his current Sword Marks quantity. Therefore, he planned to raise a second-grade Demon Bird.
“Second-grade Demon Birds, there are not many varieties available in the sect that can immediately provide young birds or bird eggs.”
“Junior brother, have you considered the Wind Falcon? It’s second-grade, speed goes without saying, it ranks among the top of its kind. The temperament is also quite gentle, it’s relatively simple to raise.”
The female cultivator recommended to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan compared it with other kinds of Demon Birds, and finally nodded.
“Okay, as per senior sister’s suggestion.”
“Junior brother, you need to pay thirty-five Sword Marks.”
Lu Xuan took out thirty-five Sword Marks and accepted a Demon Bird Egg filled with life force from the female cultivator.
The Demon Bird Egg was not small, being held in his hands it was even slightly wider than his shoulders. The eggshell was green, and there was a subtle flow of air on the surface.
Lu Xuan placed it into the Life Bag for the moment, planning to set the contract after buying the Spirit Seed and then hatching the Wind Falcon Fledgling inside.
Following that, he rented a Spirit Crane and went to the Agricultural Department Hall.
After entering, Lu Xuan saw the old farmer-like cultivator from the previous time and with a slight smile, walked over to him.
“Senior brother, I’d like to purchase a third-grade Spirit Seed. I can pay with Spirit Stones or Sword Marks. Could you please make some recommendations?”
The old farmer cultivator raised his head and seemed to remember Lu Xuan. He opened two Jade Books.
“Junior brother, the third-grade spirit species you can choose are in these two Jade Books. One book has fewer than ten varieties, all of which are the common third grade spiritual plants in the Cultivation World, which can be bought directly with spirit stones.”
“The other book has more varieties. Most of them are relatively rare species. Some are unique to the sect and can only be exchanged with Sword Marks.” Lu Xuan nodded slightly and directly skipped the common third-grade spirit plants. The bounty of Light Clusters greatly depends on the type of spiritual plant. The rarer the spiritual plant, the more likely it is to produce rare rewards.
As of the same second-grade, there is a large difference in the rewards that rare Sword Grass, Dark Marrow Mushroom, and Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea can offer.
The vivid three-dimensional patterns of spiritual plants appeared in front of Lu Xuan in the Jade Book, with a detailed description of the types and effects in the corner.
“That’s it!”
Lu Xuan thumbed through the book and immediately set his eyes on a spiritual plant.
[Sword Nurturing Gourd, third-grade spiritual plant. Once matured, the gourd contains Invisible Sword Qi, extremely lethal.]
A mottled, dark green gourd appeared in front of Lu Xuan. On the book, one could vaguely see the overflowing Sword Qi in the gourd, seemingly about to break out at any time..
