“Elder Crane, can you please stop at the mountain peak ahead?”
As Crane King was about to fly over his cave-dwelling, Lu Xuan, after some deliberation, kept swallowing his words. Eventually, he mustered up the courage and said cautiously.
The tall Spirit Crane let out a crisp call and landed in an open area halfway up the mountain.
Lu Xuan descended from the Spirit Crane, saluted with a clenched fist and said,
“Thank you, Elder Crane, for sending me home. I wonder if you would like to visit my cave-dwelling?”
The tall Spirit Crane gave a light shake of its head, let out a cry, and flew away.
“Well, my feet are numb.”
After the Spirit Crane disappeared, Lu Xuan just took a step when he felt a numbing sensation in his legs.
Even though the Crane King was more comfortable to ride on than an ordinary Spirit Crane, and rapidly took him back to his cave dwelling, the pressure of a third-grade power was too great. Lu Xuan sat on its back, not moving at all, his feet held in a twisted position. He didn’t dare to move an inch.
“Huh, a third-grade spiritual beast, and still I rode above it.”
Lu Xuan chuckled, soothing himself.
He took a few steps, and the numbness in his feet decreased a bit.
Standing in front of his cave dwelling, he disabled the Hidden Fog Maze Array, and the thick fog encompassing the entire cave disappeared.
Lu Xuan opened the door and hollered in,
“Guys, I’m back!”
As his voice faded, the bulky Wind Sparrow Fledgling dropped onto his head with a force as if a mountain was bearing down on him.
A shadow flitted past as the Cloud Leopard quietly sprawled on the ground, its green eyes indifferently observing Lu Xuan.
“You’ve gotten fatter again! If you keep this up, I’m going to find a little Spirit Crane to raise.”
Feeling the increasing weight on his head, Lu Xuan grabbed the Wind Sparrow’s ankle and tossed it to the ground.
“Chirp chirp!”
The Wind Sparrow Fledgling spiritedly circled Lu Xuan, flying back and forth like a round ball and chirping non-stop, seemingly telling Lu Xuan-
I’m fat, but I’m agile.
Lu Xuan didn’t pay him any mind, going up to the Cloud Leopard and tugging at the grey fur on the tip of its ear.
“Ow~” The haughty Cloud Leopard, under Lu Xuan’s touch, couldn’t help but let out a seven-part screech.
“Get lost.”
All the softness in Lu Xuan, under this brusque hiss, completely disappeared, so he kicked the leopard aside and returned to his room.
This time, with the Spirit Crane reproduction issue, he spent nearly twenty days near the lake. During that time, he went to Thousand Dragon Lake every day to check on the growth of the Jiaolong Python, and occasionally found time to come back to take care of the Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts in the cave dwelling.
During these twenty days, he has had vast gains.
When Xu Yi left, he gave him two hundred sword marks as payment!
Setting these two hundred little marks on the table, Lu Xuan had a satisfied smile on his face.
This was the first time he’d received so many sword marks as a reward after completing several sect tasks.
If converted into Spirit Stones, two hundred sword marks are worth at least a thousand Spirit Stones, and that’s in a situation where they are priceless.
The reason for such a generous reward mainly lies in the seriousness of the Spirit Crane reproduction issue. Lu Xuan not only improved the reproduction rate of the entire Spirit Crane tribe but also provided suggestions on improving the transportation methods of the Spirit Cranes.
Of course, it has something to do with the Taming Beast Hall of Sky Sword Sect being a known big spender, there’s no help for it, they don’t have much of anything except for lots of spirit stones.
Adding up the remaining 32 sword marks from before, the 20 he got from nurturing the Jiaolong, and the 40 rewards from the Water Ling Peach, Lu Xuan now had 292 sword marks, wealthier than he has ever been before.
“I can exchange for a high-rank spirit seed again.”
Lu Xuan happily thought to himself.
He put all the sword marks into his storage bag and made his way towards the spirit field.
In the spirit field, the growth conditions of the spirit plants were quite good.
The Spirit Firefly Grass, which had been planted not quite two months ago, was now in a rapid growth phase. There were countless luminescent spots on its slender, jade-green leaves, decorating the leaves in such a way that it appeared like a star-studded sky.
“When this batch of Spirit Firefly Grass matures, I’ll be able to harvest a large number of cultivation rewards again.”
Lu Xuan thought as he continued to check on the rest of the spirit plants.
The newly planted Sword Grass, Sword Nurturing Gourd, Ice Luo Fruit, and others had all undergone noticeable changes.
Two stalks of Sword Grass had about the same growth progress, standing half a foot tall, resembling a small grey-black sword, standing erect and pointing straight at the sky.
The middle sword mark, both in terms of width and length, was a bit larger than when it was first started, which indicated that the Sword Grass was growing well.
The tendrils of the Sword Nurturing Gourd had become more and more numerous and longer, weaving through the many flying sword racks beneath them. Their leaves were soft and green, trembling gently in the wind.
Plants like the Third-Grade Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit and the Third-Grade Flood Dragon Vine, which had been planted quite a while ago, were now entering the maturing phase.
In the presence of numerous spirit plants, Lu Xuan cast the Spirit Rain Technique, Tree Life Spell, and others. Based on the immediate status he received, he reached out to meet each of their minute requirements.
When he arrived near the Copper Bone Bamboo, Lu Xuan focused his mind and noticed that the progress bar under one of the Copper Bone Bamboos was all filled up.
“It’s finally mature.”
Lu Xuan took out the Slivered Silver Blade, and a thin blade remnant flew out, swiftly spinning towards the root stem of the Copper Bone Bamboo.
With a ‘ding’ sound, the thin remnant fell to the ground, leaving only a shallow mark on the part where it had attempted to cut the Copper Bone Bamboo.
“No wonder the second grade Copper Bone Bamboo is known for its toughness.”
Lu Xuan exclaimed. Immediately, the Slivered Silver Blade split into over twenty fragments and landed sequentially on the shallow mark left by the former teammate.
The mark gradually deepened until the base of the mature Copper Bone Bamboo finally split in two.
“A good quality Copper Bone Bamboo. Not bad.”
Lu Xuan held most of the Copper Bone Bamboo in his hand and complimented.
The Copper Bone Bamboo was over ten feet long and was reddish-brown in color. The notches on the bamboo were deeply pronounced, and you could obviously feel its hardness, akin to iron.
A thought flashed across his mind.
[Copper Bone Bamboo, Second-grade Spirit Plant. It has both hardness and toughness after maturing. It is an excellent material for refining flying sword artifacts and can also be used to refine some special elixirs.]
On the cut part of the Copper Bone Bamboo, a white light cluster flickered, as if enticing Lu Xuan to pick it up.
“Hehe, it’s time for the lucky draw again.”
Lu Xuan softly chuckled, lightly touching the surface of the light cluster.
In an instant, the light cluster turned into numerous points of light, like an inverted galaxy, rushing into his body.
A thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.
Then, a semi-solid liquid the size of his fingertip appeared in his palm.
The golden yellow liquid was dazzling and not dissipating in his hand. From time to time, spiritual light emerged from the surface.
Lu Xuan focused his mind on the golden liquid and quickly learned detailed information about it.
[Gold Marrow Jade Liquid, third-rank treasure. It takes a hundred years for the third-rank spirit mineral Gold Marrow Jade to condense into a drop of Gold Marrow Jade Liquid. After taking it, the hardness and toughness of a cultivator’s whole body can be rapidly enhanced.]
[After the short-term effect, the remaining Gold Marrow Jade Liquid can continue to influence the cultivator’s body, slowly enhancing the cultivator’s physique..]
