Seeds_i
After cultivating the Fifth Grade Dragon Bone Grass Species, Lu Xuan returned to the shore.
In his Spirit Field, most of the Spirit Plants grown were of high-rank, and there weren’t many, leaving large swathes of empty area.
He found a section of his Spirit Field, performed the Earth Pulling Technique and the structure of the Spirit Soil underwent subtle changes. He put more than two hundred Water Glow Grass Spirit Seeds into it.
Threads of Spirit Rain soaked into the Spirit Soil, thoroughly nourishing the slender, faint blue Spirit Seeds.
Afterward, he moved the Grade Three Wind Thunder Sword Grass, Starlight Sword Grass, and Fourth Grade Sword Thousand Owls that he had previously grown on the island to his Spirit Field.
“It’s time to head to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to hand over this guarding mission,”????????????????????? 6
He thought to himself.
However, before heading to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he decided to conceal his mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation base.
The rate at which his cultivation level was increasing was just too fast.
From his promotion to the Foundation Establishment Realm and becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, to reaching the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, it had not even been ten years.
Even among the most gifted True Disciples in the Sect, such a rapid rate of advancement would be seen as shocking and eye-catching.
Ordinary Inner Sect Disciples often fail to break through even after several decades.
Showing his true cultivation in front of his peers, he would find it hard to explain his rapid cultivation to others, and it could even bring about unnecessary trouble.
Having obtained a technique to conceal one’s breath from the Light Cluster and possessing the Hidden Spirit Cloak to hide his aura, unless someone intentionally snooped around, it would be very difficult to discern his true cultivation level.
Lu Xuan arrived at the foot of the mountain, summoned a tall, elegant Spirit Crane, and quickly flew towards the mountain where the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall was located.
A moment later, he entered a spacious hall and found the middle-aged cultivator named Huang who had assigned him the guarding mission.
“Brother Huang, I’ve completed the three-year guarding mission on Void Nether Island and just returned from that sea area,”
Lu Xuan smilingly said to the middle-aged cultivator.
“So it’s Junior Brother Lu, how was your three-year stay on Void Nether Island? Have you encountered any dangers?”
The middle-aged cultivator vaguely remembered Lu Xuan.
“Other than being somewhat desolate, there’s no other feeling. However, the customs on the island are distinctly different from those in the Sect area.”
“As for danger, I seldom leave the island, so it’s hard to encounter such situations.”
Lu Xuan gently said.
He handed his Inner Sect Disciple Identity Plaque to the middle-aged cultivator to verify the mission information.
“Good, Junior Brother has worked hard these three years.”
“Regarding the mission reward, we agreed beforehand that you would stay on Void Nether Island for three years. Each year will subsidize 320 Sword Marks, totaling 960 Sword Marks over three years. Please receive them, Junior Brother.”
“Thanks, Brother Huang.”
Lu Xuan received nearly a thousand Sword Marks and smiled.
He exchanged a few words about his experience on Void Nether Island with Brother Huang and bid him farewell.
“With such a large sum of Sword Marks, it would indeed be a waste not to spend some.”
His inner desire to consume it was stirring.
As a member of the Inner Sect and serving in the Sword Hall, he received a specific amount of Sword Marks every month. Plus, with the large sum he just received, he now had no fewer than three thousand Sword Marks in hand.
I can make a big purchase at the Agricultural Department Hall.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself and commanded the Spirit Crane to take him to the Agricultural Department Hall.
“Uncle Lu, over here!”
As soon as he entered the hall, Xia Chen, the old, weather-beaten monk, called out from afar.
Seeing the familiar person, Lu Xuan felt a wave of warmth and headed towards the old farmer monk.
“Uncle Lu, it’s been a long time since you’ve come to the Agricultural
Department Hall to buy Spirit Seeds.”
Xia Chen greeted enthusiastically.
I was assigned a mission to hold a sect position not long ago, and I’ve been gone for a few years.”
Lu Xuan explained briefly.
“I need to trouble Friend Xia to bring out the Spirit Seed Jade Book. I am here to pick out some high-rank spirit seeds.”
After the maturation of the Earthfire Heart Lotus, Xuan Chong Vine, and the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree in the small courtyard, there are currently Spirit Gathering Pine, the substitute planted Five-Element Fruit, Fourth Grade Illusion Sound Bamboo and the newly cultivated Blood Spirit Palm in the Spirit Field. Lu Xuan decided to add a few more.
Grade three spiritual plants mainly produce light clusters of third or fourth grade treasures. Lu Xuan is presently at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term, planting now will mature in a few years, and the rewards would have gradually become less attractive over time.
Therefore, Lu Xuan was planning to gradually shift his focus onto fourth-grade spirit plants.
As for the third-grade spirit plants, unless it is a crop that can produce soul-cultivating gourds such as the Fourth Grade Sword Symbols, or the Primordial Essence Herb, which is the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would plant as few as possible.
“Please take a look, Uncle Lu.”
The old farmer monk respectfully offered him a thick jade book.
The jade book displayed realistic images of relevant spirit plants and basic information. If the image lighted up, it indicated that the corresponding spirit seeds could be provided immediately. If it dimmed, it meant that a reservation would be required, and one would have to wait for some time.
The higher the rank of the spirit seed species, the harder it is to mass produce.
The jade book recorded about fifty types of third-grade spirit plants. As for the fourth grade, there were only about twenty varieties.
He didn’t see any fifth-grade ones.
“Friend Xia, I have always been curious, could you help me dispel this doubt?”
“I haven’t seen any fifth-grade spirit plants in the jade book, does it mean that the Agricultural Department Hall isn’t able to provide fifth-grade spirit seeds?” Uncle Lu, the fifth-grade spirit plant is already within the Jindan Category Each type is exceptionally rare. The methods of condensing the spirit seeds are also varied, and one would only be able to obtain one or two seeds through coincidence and good fortune.”
“With the strength of the sect, it is impossible to mass-produce fifth-grade spirit seeds.”
“If Uncle needs it, you can communicate with the other Authentic teaching
uncles in the sect, to see if you can acquire them from them.”
Xia Chen suppressed his surprise, an apologetic expression appeared on his face.
He didn’t expect for Lu Xuan to have the ability to cultivate fifth-grade spirit plants.
He recalled the image of Lu Xuan purchasing different spirit seeds from him.
That young man who was very stingy when purchasing second-grade spirit plants, had grown to this stage in just over a decade!
Is it too late for me to focus on becoming a Spirit Plant Master now?”
A wavering thought couldn’t help but arise in his heart.
“I see, thank you for the reminder, Friend Xia.”
Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
“If there are no fifth-grade spirit seeds, then let’s buy some fourth-grade ones first.”
As he flipped through the jade book, he pointed at the bright-looking fourth-grade spiritual plant patterns.
“Give me two Earth Fire Heart Lotus Seeds, and one Mysterious Insect Vine Spirit Seed.”
Lu Xuan first chose two species of spirit seeds that he had previous experience cultivating.
“Also, this Mayfly Grass Spirit Seed, I’ve not seen it light up before, give me one to try.”
“In addition, give me twenty each of the second-grade Flame Fruit Spirit Seeds and Ice Luo Fruit Spirit Seeds.”
“Let’s start with these.”
Lu Xuan said nonchalantly, as if fourth-grade spirit seeds didn’t mean much to him.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The old farmer monk kept nodding his head like a pecking chicken, holding a large order, and hurried into the inner hall.
He, a mere Qi-Cultivator, could not make the decision to supply three different types of fourth-grade spirit seeds at once.
