“Junior Brother Lu, it’s really hard to find your place, you have to cross almost half of the Sect to get here.”

Lu Xuan activates the Flowing Light Formation and welcomes Pill Master Guan Wan into the mountain.

Guan Wan quietly observes her surroundings and says to Lu Xuan.

“It is a bit remote.”

Lu Xuan admits with a nod.

“When I chose this peak, aside from the characteristics of the peak itself, my focus was on its location,” he said.

“I picked it for its tranquility.”

He smiles and leads the woman in the yellow robe all the way up the mountain.

“These spiritual plants you’ve planted, Junior Brother Lu, they’re all very good,” said Guan Wan, impressed.

Lu Xuan knew she had reached the mid-stage of foundation establishment and had a strong spiritual sense, so even though there was mist hiding the plants, she could still discover the spiritual plants hidden within.

Furthermore, as she was a wealthy customer, to get more spiritual seed resources from Dan Palace, he deliberately revealed the spiritual plants he had planted.

All the spiritual plants, except for the Four-Grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus in the Earth Fire Branch Vein and the Sixth-rank Phoenix Tree, were exposed before the woman in the yellow robe.

As Guan Wan kept climbing, she became more astonished.

Lu Xuan’s attainment in spiritual plants was much higher than she had imagined.

All the plants were full of vigour and lush green, she noted as she looked around.

As an alchemist herself, she had a profound understanding of spiritual plants and was aware that all these plants were of exceptionally excellent quality.

It would be understandable if one or two plants, or just a few rare ones, were of superior quality, but if all of them were, it was quite a scary thought.

This proved that Lu Xuan had far greater talents and abilities in the path of spiritual plants than other Spirit Plant Masters.

“Is this a special spiritual soil? There’s such a huge piece!”

While passing two pieces of deep yellow spirit fields halfway up the mountain, Guan Wan noticed something unusual about the Wu Spirit Soil.

“Yes, not long ago, when I went into the blessed land, I accidentally found a nest of the Double-headed Armadillo Demon Beast. When I saw that they were not there, I collected some soil and brought it back,” Lu Xuan said sincerely.

“What is this species of spiritual plant? It seems similar to the Spirit Firefly Grass, but there’s some difference,” Guan Wan asked, pointing at the Water Glow Grass in the Wu Spirit Soil field.

“This is Water Glow Grass, it’s a mutation of Spirit Firefly Grass.

I was bored and did a lot of experiments, and finally developed this new breed of Water Glow Grass, which retains the original function but also contains a certain amount of ice-type spiritual power.”

“Junior Brother Lu, you’re a genius, you’ve actually improved the spontaneous Spirit Firefly Grass into a Second-Level Spirit Plant.”

The woman in the yellow robe praised.

As soon as she stepped into the elegant courtyard, a tentacle-like grey vine greeted her and climbed into Lu Xuan’s sleeve.

“Is this… a spiritual plant?”

Guan Wan asked Lu Xuan uncertainly.

“It is indeed a spiritual plant, but the species is quite special, not different from a spirit beast. It has a high spiritual intelligence, is omnivorous, eating both demon beast’s flesh and blood, as well as flowers, fruits, branches, and leaves of spiritual plants.”

“This vine spiritual plant is quite strange.”

Guan Wan simply commented and then directly entered the courtyard.

What she observed and heard along the way further affirmed her confidence in Lu Xuan. She believed that he could successfully cultivate the spiritual seeds she was about to hand over.

“Sister Guan, both this Flaming fruit and Ice Luo fruit I cultivated myself, and tasting them together enhances the experience.

This cup of Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, I also brewed myself. I stored it in a special magical instrument, it has a unique taste when you try it.”

Lu Xuan served the spirit fruit and spiritual tea to the woman in yellow.

“Very well, these are low-quality items that are not usually seen. Junior Brother Lu, you’re very thoughtful.”

Following Lu Xuan’s recommendation, the woman in yellow swallowed a piece of Ice Luo fruit and a Flaming fruit. The dual sensation of ice and fire caused her eyes to sparkle, and her mood became cheerful.

A few casual words later, she expressed her intentions to Lu Xuan.

“Junior Brother Lu, I told you at the Hall of Transference last time that I would accept you into the cooperation of Alchemist’s spirit plant masters, I’m here today for the same reason.”

“On this visit, I’ve obtained twenty-five spirit seeds from the Agricultural Department Hall, twenty of which are the Grade Three Hidden Element Grass spirit seeds, and the other five are Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seed.”

“What do you think, Little brother? Can you fully cultivate these spiritual seeds?”

“Sister, lean.”

Lu Xuan replied with full confidence.

Twenty grade three spirit seeds, five grade four spirit seeds… the richest institution within the sect is indeed generous when it makes a move.

From the beginning of his cultivation of spiritual plants to now, the total number of third-grade spiritual seeds he has planted has not yet reached twenty.

“In accordance with our previous agreement, in addition to providing you with spiritual seeds, we will also pay you a guaranteed reward.”

“For cultivating Grade Three Hidden Element Grass, ten Sword Marks each, and for Grade Four Five-Element Fruit, thirty Sword Marks each, a total of three hundred and fifty Sword Marks.”

“After the spiritual plants mature, depending on their survival rate and the quality of the spiritual medicine, I will give you a certain reward. Junior brother, what do you think?”

“Okay,” Lu Xuan quickly replied.

Of course, he didn’t have any objections. The fact that he was able to acquire so many third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual seeds for free made him feel rather fortunate. Moreover, he would receive a minimum of three hundred and fifty Sword Marks.

With this, he could buy one or two fourth-grade spirit seeds.

He chuckled as he established a simple agreement with Guan Wan, then received twenty-five spirit seeds from her.

The Hidden Element Grass spirit seeds were long and thin, with a grayish- brown surface. They seemed incredibly ordinary. If tossed on the ground, they could easily be overlooked.

However, as his spiritual power scanned the spirit seed, it sensed an incredibly dense amount of plant essence deep within the seed, as if the essence of the whole spirit seed had gathered in one place.

The Five-Elements Fruit Spirit Seed was oval-shaped, with a five-colored spiritual light flowing within and permeating spiritual energy. They naturally blended together, yet distinctly distinct from each other.

After the woman in yellow left, Lu Xuan couldn’t wait to go to the spirit field laid out with Wu Spirit Soil.

There were two specialspirit fields – one had over eighty Water Glow Grass plants, the other only had four Spirit Accumulating Pines, leaving a large empty area.

The four Spirit Accumulating Pines which he had nurtured and communicated with using his spiritual sense since their germination vibrated joyously upon sensing his approach, filling the air with the sound of their rustling.

His spiritual sense spread out, briefly calming the four Spirit Pines. Then, operating his spiritual power, he used the Earth Pulling Technique, creating twenty long, thin cracks that perfectly ensnared the Hidden Element Grass seeds.

With his mind fully focussed, a thought emerged in his mind.

[The Hidden Element Grass, a third-grade spiritual plant, condenses spiritual energy deep within its plant body during its growth period, transforming it into a special plant essence. It is a main material for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.]

[In assessing spirit plants, look beyond the surface appearance to what lies within.]

After planting the Hidden Element Grass, Lu Xuan proceeded to bury the Five Element Fruit Spirit Seeds in the spirit soil.

“The Five Elements Fruit, a fourth-grade spiritual plant, requires the cultivation of the Five Elements of spiritual power during its growth process. It is a main material for refining the Five-Element Pill.]

“The growth of spirit plants follows the cycles of generation and restraint of the Five Elements. The constant changes in the Five Elements within the plant body need to be cultivated using the generating power of the Five Elements, which promotes the growth of the spirit plant. Cultivating it with the restrainment power of the Five Elements could harm the source of the spirit plant.]

“No one understands the Five Elements better than me.]
