Inside the Spirit Field.
The growth of each Spirit plant is extremely good.
The covering of smoke from the third-grade Phantom Smoke Fruit is getting larger, fortunately, Lu Xuan had already given it sufficient space to avoid impacting the other surrounding spirit plants.
On the black vines of the Flood Dragon Vine, there are clusters of grotesquely charming flowers of red and green. The entire vine serpent seems to be lurking in the shadows, like a deadly snake.
The second-class Flowing Light Wood and Yin Locust Tree acquired from the Agricultural Department Hall have both grown a lot in this period. Threads of translucent spiritual power are increasingly seen on the Folowing Light Wood. Lu Xuan has to be careful to guide them right.
In the cave where the Yin Locust Tree grows, the Yin Qi has intensified greatly. You can distinctly feel a wave of cold aura upon entering.
The Copper Bone Bamboo is getting taller and its color is getting deeper and deeper.
Twenty-eight Blood Jade Ginseng plants obtained using the Method of Seed condensation are growing well. This gives Lu Xuan the confidence in Spirit Seed Condensing Method.
The Spirit Firefly Grass has entered the mass maturity stage. Lu Xuan has carefully examined the status of each Spirit Firefly Grass and picked thirty that were fully ripe.
Among them, Seven are acclaimed to be of “Good Quality”, fifteen of “Superior Quality”, while the remaining eight are of “Perfect Grade”.
Now, of 200 Spirit Firefly Grass, there are still 116 left. Lu Xuan plans to leave some of them for condensing into Spiritual Firefly Grass Seeds, so he will not pick them all.
After picking, thirty faintly flashing white light clusters appeared.
Each one was absorbed by Lu Xuan, their respective rewards flashed like a slideshow in his mind.
The light clusters brought him nearly seven years of cultivation. A massive amount of spiritual energy flooded into Lu Xuan’s body, wildly wreaking havoc in his dantian and veins.
“I, Lu Xuan am here today because of my own efforts!”
“Let the light clusters give me the cultivation level!”
Lu Xuan murmured in his heart.
After calming down, Lu Xuan had a sudden intuitive breakthrough to a mysterious barrier in his mind. His cultivation level has advanced to the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation.
“The Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation…”
“What I need to do next is to accumulate my cultivation, and increase the chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment.”
In his heart, Lu Xuan felt countless waves of emotions. In just two and a half years, his cultivation had rocketed from the Second Level of Qi Cultivation to the Ninth Level. Even the seemingly unreachable Foundation Establishment Realm now seemed not too far off.
“With my talent, background, and resources, I may not have been able to break through the Third Level of Qi Cultivation even in two and a half years, let alone the Intermediate Level or the High Level of Qi Cultivation.”
He couldn’t help but feel overwhelmingly grateful to have received the White Light Cluster, such a monumental opportunity.
Lu Xuan calmed down and approached the three Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea plants of the second grade.
On the old root, there were 14 tender and green tea leaves, even filling the air with fragrance, which refreshes the mind upon smelling.
“Another four Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea Leaves have reached full maturity, hehe, Second-level Spirit Plant.”
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly as he picked the four mature Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea Leaves.
Out of the four leaves, three were of good quality, while the remaining one was of superior quality.
He picked up the white light clusters that appeared in the positions where the tea leaves were picked one by one.
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind.
[Harvest a leaf of Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea, get a Three-Grade Pill of Dust Reduction Pill]*2
Two round and fragrant Dust Reduction Pills appeared in his hand.
Lu Xuan carefully put it into the storage bag, together with the Dust Reduction Pill he got before.
[Harvest a leaf of Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea, get a Third-grade Charm of Spirit Cleansing Talisman.]
It was still the Three-grade Purifying Spirit Talisman, which had a powerful effect even on a Trick Level Evil Invasion.
The last Superior Quality tea leaf brought a white light cluster. Lu Xuan was looking forward to it.
[Harvest a Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea Leaf, get Three-level skill manual of “Luili Bone Smelting Technique” (Upper)].
Thoughts flashed by, and a great deal of information flooded into Lu Xuan’s mind, all about the cultivation methods, tips, experiences, and more of the Qi Practicing Stage from the “Liu Ligong Bone Forgetting Method”.
It was as if Lu Xuan had been practicing this technique for many years, subtle changes occurring in his bones, as bits of foul-smelling waste were expelled from his body.
Upon inspecting with his Spiritual Sense, Lu Xuan discovered that his bones were like glistening white jade, crystal clear and far more rigid.
“Why is it the upper part of the ‘Liu Ligong Bone Forgetting Method’ again…”
Lu Xuan looked at the remaining eleven leaves of Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea, somewhat unsatisfied.
Although an experience package saved him a lot of cultivation time, Lu Xuan wanted the lower part of the “Liu Ligong Bone Forgetting Method” even more.
With a slight regret, Lu Xuan made his rounds in the Spirit Field. The Spirit Rain Technique, the Earth Pulling Technique, the Tree Life Spell, each was used in turn, trying to meet the minutiae requirements of each Spirit Plant.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. It wasn’t long before the mealtime of the Flood Dragon Demon Beasts, so Lu Xuan rented a Spirit Crane and rushed to his Flood Dragon raising base.
He received the specially ordered meat from a cultivator processing the Demon Beast Meat and made his way to the high platform.
Underneath the platform, dozens of Flood Dragon Pythons were lined up neatly and quietly. At the sight of Lu Xuan, their long tails swayed gently, revealing their excitement.
“Guys, it’s time to eat, time to eat! Don’t rush, I guarantee that each of you will be well-fed!”
Lu Xuan, using Spiritual Power, picked up a mound of Demon Beast Meat and threw it to the areas where the Flood Dragon Demon Beasts were located.
The numerous Flood Dragons, Giant Pythons, and Strange Serpents had completely adapted to the new feeding method, slowly savoring the delicious Demon Beast Meat.
Sometimes a flash of ferocity appeared in their eyes, but it quickly disappeared when they saw Lu Xuan standing tall on the high platform.
“Roar ~ Roar ~”
Just as Lu Xuan was about to leave, a fire red Strange Serpent didn’t leave. It stayed in its area, growling softly at him, the sound carrying a pleading tone.
“Hmm?”
Lu Xuan paused, looking closely at the Strange Serpent’s body.
Seeing this, the Strange Serpent flipped over its belly, revealing a huge wound on its stomach. The injury was so deep that the bone could be seen. Flesh and skin rolled out, the pain was imaginable.
“You’re hurt?”
Lu Xuan asked with concern.
The Second-class Eiworm seemed to understand his question and, enduring the pain, slightly nodded its head.
“Is it a companion who was eating with you?”
A cold light flashed across Lu Xuan’s eyes.
“Roar ”
The fire red Strange Serpent quickly shook its head, signaling denial.
“It looks like the culprit might be a Flood Dragon Beast raised by other cultivators in a nearby area.”
Seeing that it wasn’t caused by the Flood Dragon he raised, Lu Xuan felt a lot more relieved.
The Thousand Dragon Lake stretches for hundreds of miles, without any clear distinction between the environments where the first and second-grade Flood Dragon Pythons grew. Each found a piece of water to live in.
Consequently, occasional fights over territory and resources happened. This second-class Strange Serpent probably lost to the Flood Dragon Demon Beast raised by another Cultivator.
“You, you really… it’s one thing to fight with your own kind but to lose too…”
“With so many companions living peacefully, didn’t you think of calling them for backup?”
Lu Xuan’s words were laced with indignation. He floated down from the high platform, came near to the belly of Strange Serpent.
He gently hovered above the lake, took out the second-class Healing Pills, the Sweet Rain Ointment, made from the earlier blooming Pure Snow Lotus from his Storage Bag.
He carefully applied a small amount of it to the wound of the fire red Strange Serpent.
“It seems it’s necessary to unite the thoughts of these Flood Dragon Pythons, so they won’t fight individually anymore.”
As Lu Xuan applied the medicine, he was deep in thought..
