There were already a variety of third-grade spiritual plants on the mountain peak. He particularly valued the Moon Rain Grass, therefore, he chose three third-grade spiritual seeds all of the Moon Rain Grass.
As for the second-grade spiritual seeds, he contemplated for a moment and chose two species named Rainbow Garment Grass and Sun Fruit, with five seeds each.
He didn’t rush to choose a Spirit Seed Condensing Method.
Once in the early Foundation Establishment stage, one could only select a mere four species, so you must maximize its benefits.
First, he would have to roughly figure out what light cluster rewards would be
there once the chosen spiritual plant matured.
After planting so many spiritual plants, he had figured out some patterns. All light cluster rewards offered by every spiritual plant were somewhat related to the plant species itself. The quantity and types were usually limited to a few. Therefore, he had to choose a spiritual plant that would give practical rewards.
Then, use the Spirit Seed Condensing Method to plant on a large scale, and even improve its species to maximize benefits.
Soon, the young cultivator took out the spiritual seeds that Lu Xuan had applied for and passed them one by one to Lu Xuan.
After Lu Xuan checked, the young cultivator registered the corresponding information under his watchful eye to prevent unnecessary disputes in the future.
“Thankyou, Elder Brother Zhang.”
Lu Xuan gratefully said to the young cultivator.
“It was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.”
Zhang Ce responded with a smile.
Having achieved his goal, Lu Xuan did not linger and stepped out of the Inner
Hall of the Agricultural Department.
On the way out, he also greeted the old farmer monk in passing.
The old farmer monk, Xia Chen stared blankly at Lu Xuan’s retreating figure, wondering what he was thinking.
“Friend Xia, do you know that Foundation Establishment Uncle Master who just left? He even made a point to greet you on his way out.”
A cultivator not far away bumped into the old farmer monk’s arm and asked curiously.
“The Uncle Master had visited the Agricultural Department several times when he was at the Qi Training Realm to exchange for spiritual seeds. I was the one who served him.”
The old farmer monk didn’t hide anything.
“That too counts as a bit of acquaintance. That Foundation Establishment Uncle Master might value you because of this!
Looking at the Uncle Master, he doesn’t seem too old. Being able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at such a young age, his future is promissing.”
The fellow sect member looked at the old farmer monk, a touch of envy flashing in his eyes.
“Yes…breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at such a
young age…”
The old farmer monk spoke absentmindedly.
He remembered that when he first met Lu Xuan, he was still a naive and inexperienced cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Training. It was unexpected that in less than three years, Lu Xuan had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Even if he was on the verge of breaking through to perfect Qi Training at the time, this progress was terrifying.
“You said, what factors influence a cultivator’s rapid breakthrough to
Foundation Establishment?”
“Either one must possess unparalleled talent, or an unprecedented encounter, or both, in order to possibly make a short-term breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment.”
Hearing this, the old farmer monk faintly shook his head. He had a certain understanding of Lu Xuan’s cultivation talent, and within the many disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, it definitely fell into the lowest rank.
As for a rare opportunity-according to what he knew, Lu Xuan mostly stayed in the sect cultivating spiritual plants and it was unlikely he would simply stumble upon great opportunities.
“Could it be that planting spiritual plants can rapidly improve one’s cultivation level?”
The old farmer monk said self-mockingly.
Then he shook his head, even he found this idea too absurd to believe.
He adjusted his mindset, secretly determined to catch up with Lu Xuan as soon as possible.
Lu Xuan passed through several formations and returned to the peak.
At the foot of the mountain, the Wind Sparrow Fledgling was nestled in a pile of hay. Beneath its round and plump belly, one could faintly make out the pale red pattern on the surface of the Fire Separation Flood Dragon egg.
With this giant object underneath it, the Wind Sparrow Fledgling’s belly-fat spread out to both sides.
Upon seeing Lu Xuan, it let out a proud and clear chirp; Lu Xuan even saw a trace of maternal radiance in its eyes.
“Heh, it’s become an underage bird mama.”
Lu Xuan chuckled softly.
Not far away, a trail of grey grass ropes shot out continuously from the enormous tumor on the Grass Puppet’s head, winding around in circles, gradually expanding the hatching chamber of the Wind Sparrow Fledgling.
“Howl…”
An ominous howl of the Cloud Leopard came from somewhere. Lu Xuan followed the sound, only to see a familiar black figure swiftly passing through the woods.
Lu Xuan did not enter the house; he went directly to the place where the magma river passed by.
He used the perfected Earth Pulling Technique to manipulate the mountain rocks, revealing an entrance in front of him.
His Spiritual Sense extended along the entrance, made several turns, and reached the magma river above.
The scorching magma flowed slowly, occasionally making faint bursting sounds. Droplets of magma splashed onto the mountain rocks on both sides, leaving behind small charred holes.
A fiery red lotus seed appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.
The lotus seed was the size of a thumb tip, it was fiery red, and one could faintly see a deep red smoke swirling inside.
Upon sensing the scorching magma below, the deep red smoke inside the seed became restless and appeared agitated.
With his Spiritual Sense controlling the Earth Fire Heart Lotus Seed, Lu Xuan placed it into the scorching magma.
The moment the seed entered the magma, the deep red smoke inside burst out, forming a slowly rotating phantom fire lotus.
Under the nourishment of the magma, the fire lotus spun faster and faster, it then turned into a stream of fire-red lights and burrowed into the scorching magma.
An idea suddenly flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.
[Earth Fire Heart Lotus, Fourth Grade Spirit Plant, needs to grow in scorching magma, and must be cultivated with fire-based techniques of Second Rank or above.]
[Upon maturation, if the lotus seeds are consumed, they can purify the turbid and polluted aura, reduce the risk of cultivators getting mutated, can resist the intrusion of Demon Envoys for a certain period of time. Long- term consumption of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus seeds can even increase Spiritual Sense.]
[The lotus leaves and stems can be used as ingredients for some elixirs.]
[Within fire is born the golden lotus.]
“As expected of a Fourth Grade Spirit Plant, its entirety is a treasure, especially the seeds-it can even resist the intrusion of the Demon Envoy for a certain period of time and purify the polluted spiritual aura. Consuming it over a long term can even increase Spiritual Sense.”
Lu Xuan could not help but sigh with emotion.
The greatest fear of cultivators when they venture out exploring is running into a Demon Envoy.
Demon Envoys are elusive and their abilities are exotic. They’re difficult to guard against and the slightest carelessness could result in one’s body being invaded. The Earth Fire Heart Lotus seeds, when consumed, can resist their invasion for a time and can purify the spirit aura inside the body. For cultivators, these are indeed rare treasures.
Furthermore, this was the first time he had come across a Spirit Plant that could increase Spiritual Sense.
Spiritual Sense is extremely difficult to increase apart from when breakthroughs occur. Only some rare and precious heavenly materials or high- rank God-refining techniques can have the effect of increasing it.
Yet, the seeds of Earth Fire Heart Lotus possess such remarkable effects. Despite the prerequisite of long-term consumption, it remains a worthy cause. Lu Xuan felt his surroundings becoming increasingly hot. Without staying longer, he reached an empty Spirit Field and took out the Moon Ram Grass Seeds.
The elongated spirit species were covered with a layer of silvery moonlight. As it swayed, it seemed as though moonlight was flowing, exuding a cold and detached aura.
