After taking the cultivation techniques from Scripture Treasury Pavilion, Lu Xuan directly returned to his cave dwelling.
He took out two glowing wood spirit seeds and two Yin Locust tree saplings, and came to the Spirit Field.
He found a vacant area and cast the Earth Pulling Technique. The structure of the Spirit Soil underwent minute changes. He put two palm-sized, oval spirit seeds into the cracks, and buried them in the shallow layer of Spirit Soil.
His mind focused on the spirit seeds in the spirit soil, and a thought emerged in Lu Xuan’s mind.
[Glowing Wood, a second-grade Spirit Plant. The leaves of grown Glowing Wood can be used to make some charms; its bark can be tanned into leather armors type of Magic Artifacts.]
[The patterns on the Glowing Wood spirit seed will subtly change during sprouting. If there is a severe imbalance, it will affect the quality of the Glowing Wood sapling grown.]
[During germination and growth stages, Wood attribute Formula Methods need to guide the change in patterns to ensure the quality of Glowing Wood.] [The flowing light can easily confuse a person.]
“So this is what one needs to pay attention to when cultivating Glowing Wood.”
“As for the Wood attribute Formula Methods, my Tree Life Spell has reached the minor proficiency state. So naturally, there will be no problem in cultivating a second-grade Spiritual Plant.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself, spiritual power surging, wisps of Spirit Rain turning into fine threads, permeating into Spirit Soil, being absorbed by the glowing wood spirit seeds.
“Yin Locust Tree, which has special requirements for its growing environment. Where should I plant it?”
Lu Xuan looked up at his cave dwelling, noting every place in the dwelling that might be suitable for the growth of the Yin Locust Tree.
“Got it, isn’t there a ready-made cave? The height is quite good. There is no light inside, which completely meets the growth conditions of the Yin Locust Tree. ”
Lu Xuan carried the two Yin Locust saplings to the entrance of the cave.
The cave entrance was kept rather dry, entering it one could feel a faint coolness. As for the height, Lu Xuan guessed that it would be sufficient for a long period of time. When the Yin Locust Tree grew to that stage, he might have already entered the Inner Sect to cultivate his field.
He chose two spots and planted the two Yin Locust saplings in them.
His mind focused on the Yin Locust saplings filled with yin qi.
[Yin Locust, a second-grade Spirit Plant. Mature Yin Locust wood can increase the cultivation speed of Yin attributed techniques and can also be used as a
material for certain Elixir preparation.]
[After reaching a certain age, it might undergo strange mutations.]
[Regarding the cultivation environment, the surrounding spiritual energy, and watering spirit spring all have special requirements. It should not be in contact with cultivators with vigorous qi and blood, or violent Yang Spiritual Energy, otherwise, it will cause harm to the Yin Locust.]
[What kind of Yin Yang adjustment? Solitary Yin can grow.]
“Environment, spiritual energy, spirit spring…. can only try to meet them as much as possible. Fortunately, there is this cool cave and the Spirit Well with astonishing hint of chill. The early stage should already be sufficient.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
After planting Glowing Wood and Yin Locust, he patrolled the Spirit Field once more, taking control of the real-time status of the numerous spiritual plants and meet their every minute requirements.
Afterwards, he returned to the room, absorbed the jade slips of the three techniques. A large amount of information flooded into his mind, and the jade slips in his hands immediately turned to dust.
“No, no, it’s already full…”
The knowledge in his mind, which was almost overflowing, gave him a feeling of headache and confusion. After memorizing the three techniques, he worked hard to digest and understand their contents.
In no time, he lay down directly on the bed and fell sound asleep.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed.
In this month of entering the Sky Sword Sect, Lu Xuan basically stayed at his cave dwelling cultivating spirit plants, playing with his Cloud Leopard, and squeezing his obstinate Iron Claw Crabs occasionally.
The rest of the time was used to practice the cultivation techniques and formula methods that he had obtained.
He had successfully started the “Little Five Elements Power”, leading to a better understanding of the Five Elements’ Spiritual Power and various five-element basic formula methods.
He had just begun to get the feel of the Cloud Soaring Technique and the Barbarian Elephant Power; due to his talent, the progress was not significant, but Lu Xuan felt just a little bit more agile, and his muscles and bones were sturdier.
In the meantime, due to skipping too many classes, Lu Xuan felt a bit excessive, so he invited Baili Jianqing to attend two classes from the Foundation Establishment Cultivators with him.
One class was about cultivation precautions, and the other was demonstrating swordsmanship.
During the class, the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators would occasionally ask questions to guide many outer sect disciples to think and comprehend. Afterward, the disciples grouped and discussed their experiences. When arguments intensified, they would even spar amongst themselves to settle it.
This made Lu Xuan, who was a raw jade amongst martial arts talents, look a bit out of place. He hid in the corner silently like a chicken, only sighing that the farming life was so much better.
A month passed, and the ungraded Spirit Firefly Grass and the first-grade Blood Jade Ginseng were both growing well.
Due to the sect’s spiritual energy being much purer and thicker than in Linyang Market, the spirit firefly grass thrived, full of vitality. The Blood Jade Ginseng, stimulated by the spiritual energy, greatly increased its ability to move, frequently causing large-scale group movements.
The second-grade Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea was maturing, with its tea leaves giving off an enticing fragrance. The progress bar below had already been filled halfway – Lu Xuan estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he could receive a new light cluster reward.
Likewise, the second-grade Copper Bone Bamboo and the third-grade Phantom Smoke Fruit and Flood Dragon Vine were all growing regularly without issues.
The newly-planted Flowing Light Wood has already sprouted. The young green stem was covered in dense, complex patterns. Lu Xuan checked it from time to time and if he noticed any patterns bulging or converging, he would use the Tree Life Spell to guide and rectify them with spiritual energy, bringing them back to normal.
The Yin Locust Tree in the cave had grown about half a foot tall, giving off a gloomy Yin Qi. Upon entering the cave, a noticeable chill could be felt.
Once the spirit plants in his dwelling had settled into a routine, Lu Xuan began to form new plans.
He planned to go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to take on a task suitable for him, to earn some Sword Marks.
Sword Marks are extremely important in the Sky Sword Sect. To obtain any precious treasure, one must consume Sword Marks.
When he was looking for Spiritual Seeds directly in the Agricultural Department Hall, Lu Xuan learnt that he could only get some common first or second-grade spirit plants by relying solely on Spirit Stones. If he wanted spirit plants of higher grades, he needed to exchange them for Sword Marks.
This was unacceptable to Lu Xuan.
Several factors affect the richness of the light cluster rewards, among which two are the grade and type of the spirit plants. The higher the grade and the rarer the type, the richer the rewards.
So he must earn enough Sword Marks to be prepared for planting high-grade and rare spirit plants in the future.
Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
Lu Xuan jumped down from the Spirit Crane’s body, observed for a moment, and then entered the hall.
Inside the hall, there was a long light screen about thirty feet long and nine to twelve feet wide.
Large characters were constantly surging up the screen from the bottom, refreshing information.
It was said that the light screen was formed by a fifth-grade magical artifact, which was hidden inside the Miscellaneous Affairs hall. Sect monks who need to release tasks could inform the monk who controlled the magical artifact inside the hall.
When taking tasks, you just needed to use spiritual sense to touch the characters on the light screen. Once you absorbed the information, the task was considered accepted and the task’s information on the screen immediately disappeared.
“That’s quite convenient.”
After a sigh, Lu Xuan fixed his gaze on the enormous light screen..
