“Next is the Monkey-faced Orchid cultivated by Junior Brother Lu.
“There are a total of fifty-three plants, among which nineteen are of ordinary quality, twenty-five are of good quality, and nine are of superior quality.” “Junior Brother Lu, your results are indeed a big surprise!”
After the beautiful young woman finished counting, her smile became even more apparent.
When Lu Xuan suggested changing the way the Monkey-faced Orchids were cultivated, despite her belief in him, she felt somewhat apprehensive.
It wasn’t until today that her apprehension completely disappeared, replaced
by overwhelming surprise.
Lu Xuan’s method indeed improved the quality of the Monkey-faced Orchids! Having managed the medicine garden for quite some time, she was well aware that the Monkey-faced Orchids grown by Yan Ping were of the expected quality. In contrast, Lu Xuan significantly improved average quality in one go!
No matter whether it was good or superior quality, the quantity noticeably increased.
An improvement in spirit plant quality means a subtle increase in the probability of successfully making elixirs and the quality of the elixirs.
More importantly, these are just the results of changing the Monkey-faced Orchid cultivation method for a short period of time. If this method is implemented from the start of cultivation, won’t it be possible to obtain a large number of high-quality, superior or even perfect grade spirit plants when the Monkey-faced Orchids mature?
If this could be achieved, she would definitely be able to show significant accomplishment in front of the Foundation Establishment Uncle Master.
“Junior Brother Lu, I will definitely report your method to my Uncle Master.” “Making such a significant contribution to improving the quality of the Monkey-faced Orchids, my Uncle Master will surely reward you abundantly.” “Shall I apply for a batch of Sword Marks for you? So you can freely choose between cultivation techniques, magic artifacts, or elixir talismans.
“Thank you, Senior Sister.”
Lu Xuan, who eagerly wanted the Sword Marks as a reward, quickly responded. After comparing the results, Yan Ping, who was standing aside, had a changing face, hesitated for a while, then approached Lu Xuan.
“Junior Brother Lu, I was too selfish and inflexible before. I didn’t have your courage. I hope you will understand.”
Since Lu Xuan’s new cultivation method yielded such impressive results, he naturally couldn’t ignore the facts and stick to his previous beliefs. Otherwise, he may lose the qualification to continue cultivating the Monkey-faced Orchids.
With regret, Yan Ping swallowed his pride, came over to apologize to Lu Xuan. “Senior Brother Yan, you’re taking this too seriously. Your earlier thoughts can’t be labelled as right or wrong. If you want to learn about new cultivation methods in the future, you can visit me anytime.”
Lu Xuan said with a mild smile. As Yan Ping had lowered his position, there was no need to bear a grudge. As for the method, it had already been shared, so there was no harm if one more person knew about it.
“Junior Brother Lu, I admire your magnanimity.”
Yan Ping clenched his fist and spoke sincerely.
Inside the cave.
On the table in front of Lu Xuan, ninety pieces of special currency were displayed.
The currency, shaped like little swords and made from an unknown material, was incredibly hard. They are the Sword Marks circulated within the Sky Sword
Sect.
With these currency-like small swords, one can exchange for various items within the sect.
After completing the task, Lu Xuan went to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to receive the task reward and unexpectedly received ninety Sword Marks.
Thirty of them were a reward for the Monkey-faced Orchid cultivation task, and the other sixty were applied for by Senior Sister Yao on his behalf in front of the Foundation Establishment Uncle Master, as a reward for improving the cultivation method of Monkey-faced Orchid.
“The normal cultivation of Monkey-faced Orchid takes three months to earn thirty Sword Marks, while the improved cultivation method allowed me to earn sixty Sword Marks at once.”
A hint of a smile appeared on his face. With a single sweep of his hand, ninety small swords were collected into his storage bag.
He came to the Spirit Field, carefully examining the numerous Spirit Plants within.
Three months had passed and spirit plants of different ranks had grown quite a bit.
Some of the two hundred Spirit Firefly Grass he had planted had entered the fully mature stage.
Lu Xuan looked at each plant, his mind focused. As long as he saw the progress bar under the Spirit Firefly Grass was full, he would pick it.
In the end, he obtained twenty-eight fully mature Spirit Firefly Grass, of which, eight were of good quality, fourteen were of superior quality, and six were of perfect quality.
“This is truly the merit of the sect. Due to the task of cultivating Monkey-faced Orchids, the Spirit Firefly Grass didn’t receive as meticulous care as before, but the number of perfect quality Spirit Firefly Grass I obtained after they matured is much more than before.”
“Among the twenty-eight plants, there are six of perfect quality. This is attributed to the Spirit Field, Spirit Soil, and the influence of Spiritual Energy.” Lu Xuan once again felt that his decision to join the sect was exceedingly correct.
In the spirit soil, twenty-eight white light clusters appeared, flickering faintly, attracting Lu Xuan to pick them up.
Touching them one by one, the light clusters transformed into countless specks of light, rushing into his body, a thought flashing through his mind. [Harvest one Spirit Firefly Grass, gain six months of cultivation progress.] *5 [Harvest one Spirit Firefly Grass, acquire nine months of cultivation.] *5 Out of the ten harvested Spirit Firefly Grass plants that brought cultivation rewards, a surge of spiritual power swept through Lu Xuan’s body, furiously attacking his meridians and Dantian.
He stood on the spot, struggling to keep his spiritual power calm.
“Even though I have joined the sect, the purity and concentration of spiritual power can’t compare to when I was in the market. Despite having the superior cultivation technique ‘Little Five Elements Power’, it still can’t compare to the cultivation reward from the white light cluster.
Lu Xuan sighed. The twenty-plus harvested Spirit Firefly Grass brought him more than six years of cultivation which was many times more than his cultivation progress at the sect.
His initial Qi Refinement Eighth Level cultivation had risen by a large margin. The remaining white light clusters yielded seven charms: five first-grade charms and two second-grade Million Swords Qi Talismans.
There were also five first-grade Yuan Cultivating Pills, two Earth Pulling Art Experience Packages, one Gengjin Sword Mantra Experience Package, and three drops of Grass Spirit Elixir.
Seeing that the Grass Puppet had been working hard in this period, Lu Xuan planted a drop of the Grass Spirit Elixir, which was emitting a dense aura of grass and wood, into its big grass lump as a show of gratitude.
He gave it a green hat as a form of thanks.
As for the remaining one hundred and seventy-plus Spirit Firefly Grass, even though they had all entered the mature stage, Lu Xuan decided to pick them only when they were completely mature so as not to affect their quality.
He inspected the state of the numerous spirit plants in the Spirit Field and found that one Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea plant had a tender green tea leaf that could be picked.
Lu Xuan slowed his breathing and carefully picked the tea leaf.
The tea leaf in his hand was extremely tender and green, with a refreshing fragrance. He put it close to his nose and sniffed. It seemed as if a clear spirit had entered his senses, making him feel considerably more alert.
[Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea, second-grade spirit plant. The leaves picked have the effect of calming the mind and promoting wisdom. It can resist the contamination of Demon Envoy to a certain extent.]
[The tea leaves can be directly consumed, stir-fried into dry tea leaves for brewing into spiritual tea, and can also be used as refinement materials for certain elixirs.]
A white light cluster appeared at the original position of the picked tea leaf. Touching it lightly, the light cluster turned into countless tiny light points that surged into his body.
A pill emitting a clear spirit breath appeared in his hand.
[Dust Reduction Pill, three-grade pill. After taking it, it can remove impurities from cultivation, reducing the risk of anomaly in cultivators..]
