He put back the ordinary Spirit Firefly Grass that showed no change after the stimulus trial into the previous environment and continued with the experiment.
After numerous rounds of experiments, among the thirty-one remaining Spirit Firefly Grass spiritual seeds placed in the ancient well, nine mutated spiritual seeds emerged. Out of the twenty in the pill furnace, five mutated spiritual seeds were selected.
Other spiritual seeds suffered irreversible damage. Once planted, the matured spiritual plants were of poor quality, and some of the spiritual seeds were completely abandoned, unable to sprout any plants.
The fourteen successful ice-elemental mutant spiritual seeds were planted in the Yin Cold Cavern, slightly isolated from the other fifty Sprit Firefly Grass sprouts.
For the twelve fire-elemental spiritual seeds, due to the limitations of the Cave Mansion Spirit Field environment, they had to be planted in the usual way. Lu Xuan occasionally unleashed a low-level fire-system technique on them, nourishing them with faint fire attribute spiritual power.
“In the end, there are limited numbers of spiritual seeds, and the environment of the Spirit Field is general. Once breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and cultivating more spiritual seeds, I can then change the conditions for inducing the spiritual seeds, thereby summarizing the easrest ways for spiritual seeds to mutate.”
Lu Xuan looked at the mutated spiritual plants in the Spirit Field and sighed.
“However, successful mutation is a good start.
When I make a cultivation breakthrough, these mutated spiritual plants containing either ice or fire attribute spiritual power could roughly produce a large number of spiritual seeds, which can then allow for mass planting. In the following period, since he already had the long-term tasks of raising the flood dragon demon beast and cultivating the Burning Yuan Wood, Lu Xuan did not take on any new tasks from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
He focused on observing and cultivating the mutated Spirit Firefly Grass while spending the rest of his time cultivating, preparing for his attempt to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
“Brother Lu, I came to see you!”
That day, a familiar calling voice was heard from outside the courtyard.
Lu Xuan immediately recognized the voice as Baili Jianqing. He opened the yard gate with a smile, and a handsome face with squinted eyes came into his sight.
“Sword Qing is here, please come in.”
“Hahaha, I guessed that Brother Lu would be home. A sect disciple who likes to stick at home like you is truly one in a hundred.
Baili Jianqing, holding a hunk of demon beast meat of an unknown type, directly entered the yard.
“Brother Lu, this is the demon beast meat I hunted in that newly exposed secret land. I brought it here for you to taste and also to mooch a meal. I have been craving your cooking for a long time.”
Baili Jianqing unreservedly entered the small kitchen next door with a smile.
“Alright, I’ll show you some of my culinary skills later.
Lu Xuan slightly processed the demon beast meat then came to the yard, watching Baili Jianqing who was teasing the Wind Sparrow Fledgling.
“You went to that newly discovered secret land a while ago? How did it go?”
“The new secret land, ah, it’s full of opportunities and treasures. Besides, with the protection of the Foundation Establishment Uncle Master, I naturally would go if I could.”
“I stayed there for some time and got several rare spiritual medicines, among which two were of third-grade level. The opportunity was fairly good.”
“As for dangers, I encountered them only once. Some fellow sect members and I accidently bumped into a third-rank demonic beast. We contacted a nearby „ Foundation Establishment Uncle Master for help who quickly killed the beast.
“The valuable parts of the beast were taken by Uncle Master, and I got some leftovers, including quite a bit of beast meat, which is what I just brought over.”
Baili Jianqing glanced at the kitchen.
“Brother Lu, such a great opportunity, didn’t you go and check out the secret land?”
He curiously asked Lu Xuan.
With his blade tracing afterimages in his hand, Lu Xuan casually replied.
“Sword Qing, you know me.
I am someone who likes tranquility not action. I prefer staying in the sect, cultivating and managing spiritual plants, feeding and tending to spiritual beasts, rather than going out to explore secret lands and seek opportunities.” Baili Jianqing slightly nodded. Seeing Lu Xuan busy, he came to the yard by himself and occasionally played with the two small beasts.
The spirit field is mainly located at the back of the courtyard, concealed by a formation. He didn’t have much interest in snooping around, so he didn’t barge in recklessly.
About half an hour later, Lu Xuan brought out five or six steaming hot dishes. He took out a pot of spirit brew from the house and poured a glass for each of them, finishing it in one gulp.
The strong and mellow spirit brew flowed continuously, as Lu Xuan picked up a piece of exploding fried demonic beast meat and put it into his mouth.
A exquisite sweetness filled every corner of his mouth. The dense spiritual power flowed from his throat and permeated into every part of his body, making him feel warm all over.
“No wonder it is a third-rank demonic beast, the meat is clearly not ordinary.”
Lu Xuan sighed, picking up the second piece with agile chopsticks and swallowing it whole.
“The credit goes to your cooking skills, Brother Lu. My own cooking doesn’t taste nearly as good.”
Baili Jianqing squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Lu Xuan smiled without saying a word, picking up two pieces of demonic beast meat and throwing them in front of the Cloud Leopard and the Wind Sparrow fledgling.
After a satisfying meal.
“Sword Qing, I remember you mentioned that your grandfather was once an outer disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, so you must have a good understanding of how the sect’s disciples break through to the foundation establishment realm.
“My grandfather did indeed tell me a lot about the sect.
Baili Jianqing responded instinctively, as if realizing something, he paused and scanned Lu Xuan with his spiritual sense.
“What the…!”
“Brother Lu, are you preparing to break through the foundation?
His squinted eyes suddenly widened to an unprecedented roundness, staring in surprise.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to reach this point, and I do plan to break through all at once soon.”
Lu Xuan replied with a casual smile.
“I’ve just reached the perfect level of Qi cultivation, thinking that my cultivation speed was fast enough. I didn’t expect that you, Brother Lu, were planning to try to break through to the foundation without a word!” Baili Jianqing’s expression was a little dull-he was quite surprised by the speed of Lu Xuan’s progress.
“How can I speed up my cultivation? Teach me, Brother Lu! He came back to his senses, looking up at Lu Xuan with admiration.
“I just focused my time on training, exploring secret lands, and seizing opportunities.”
Lu Xuan said indifferently.
“Although I’m fond of cultivating spiritual plants, it doesn’t take me that long. The rest of the time, I’m devoted to tireless cultivation day and night.”
“in addition to the spiritual plants I cultivated, I mostly traded them for elixirs to enhance my cultivation level. Thanks to these combined efforts, I’ve achieved my current state.”
“However, there are also quite a few downsides to this. I have the cultivation level, but nothing else.”
“I don’t have time to practice those esoteric formulas, nor do I have spare spirit stones to buy body protection talismans and powerful magical tools.”
“If I encounter other cultivators of the same rank, I’m afraid I’ll be defeated in just a few rounds.”
Lu Xuan added regretfully, perfectly portraying the image of an ordinary spirit plant master who only cared about increasing his cultivation level, without taking care of anything else.
“I see, without formulas, talismans, and magical tools that match your cultivation level, it indeed lacks perfection.
“But, as long as you, Brother Lu, successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, you’ll have plenty of time to make up for these deficiencies. By then, you won’t be inferior to other cultivators of the same rank.”
Baili Jianqing reassured him kindly.
