I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 378
Chapter 378: Chapter 376: Invitation to Core Formation,
Hastening the Ripening of Spirit Gathering Pine l
He indeed wanted to cultivate this mutated arrow vine, but the arrow vine in front of him belonged to the sect, so he could only bury this idea in his heart. “Junior Brother Lu, have you found anything?”
On the side, the burly Zhong Hao asked in a low voice.
“There was a sudden flash of spiritual light just now, and I felt a sense of deja vu about some characteristics of this spiritual plant.”
“If I remember correctly, it was originally a spiritual plant called the arrow vine, which is extremely rare in the Cultivation World. However, this mutated spiritual plant has undergone great changes, whether it’s in the number of arrows or in terms of attack strength.”
Lu Xuan casually made up a reason.
“An arrow vine… Its name indeed fits.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hao exclaimed.
“Given the attack method shown by this spiritual plant, it is likely to have developed a low degree of spiritual intelligence. Brother Zhong can treat it as a demon beast and learn more about it through methods such as communication and taming.”
Lu Xuan reminded.
With his guidance, the other spirit plant masters’ understanding of their own mutant spiritual plants had progressed rapidly, and they had discovered more or less new things.
Half a month later, Ge Pu appeared in front of everyone.
“It’s been hard on you junior brothers and sisters during this period of time. The research and experiments on the mutated spiritual plants will come to an end for now. After a while, the sect will hold a merit recognition ceremony and reward you with sword marks or other treasures.”
“Thank you, Brother Ge!”
The crowd thanked him gratefully and bid Ge Pu goodbye one after another.
“Junior Brother Lu, stay for a while.”
As Lu Xuan was about to leave the Black and White Mountain, he heard Ge Pu’s voice.
He paused, lagging behind.
“I’ve been watching what Junior Brother Lu has been doing lately. Understanding the origins and characteristics of these mutant spiritual plants, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you’ve done the majority of the work.”
“The sect will undoubtedly reward you generously. But before that, there’s something else I’d like to ask for your help with.”
“Please, Brother Ge, go ahead.”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan replied respectfully.
“You see, the Golden Core real people of our sect and other members are currently developing a new blessed land. These spiritual plants were brought back to the sect by people they sent out specifically to understand their origins, characteristics, and uses.”
“Junior Brother Lu, your talent far surpasses others in this area. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you alone are equal to all other spirit plant masters in the sect. However, if we continue to bring back mutant spiritual plants in the old way, the efficiency is too low.”
“Therefore, the Golden Core real people in the blessed land suggest that Junior Brother Lu go to the blessed land to provide them with information on the mutant spiritual plants at the earliest.”
“Go to the blessed land?”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but be stunned.
“What’s worrying Junior Brother Lu?”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s reaction, Ge Pu inquired.
“No, I don’t mind going to the blessed land. I just heard Brother Ge mention that the blessed land is still in the development stage, and there are a large number of aggressively attacking mutated spiritual plants.”
“I spend most of my energy on cultivating spiritual plants daily. I possess a few basic sword techniques, which I use purely for better cultivation of the sword grass. I’ve neglected my cultivation and am unaccomplished in fight law, I fear I might slow down the other disciples if I go.”
Lu Xuan explained.
“Junior Brother Lu, you don’t have to worry about that. Having you go certainly won’t involve making you deal with those mutant spiritual plants and demon beasts. That really would be a waste of your spirit plant talents.”
“The sect will arrange for you to stay in the rear, focusing on researching those mutant spiritual plants, with fellow disciples of higher cultivation levels and a powerful formation for protection. And with two Core Formation Elders staying in the Blessed Land, ready to assist you at any time, safety definitely won’t be an issue.”
“Is that so?”
The moment Ge Pu explained this, Lu Xuan’s thoughts suddenly became lively.
According to Ge Pu, safety wasn’t a major issue. Plus, the mutant spiritual plants had a unique appeal to Lu Xuan. After some deliberation, he eventually nodded in agreement.
“Alright, then I’ll go to the Blessed Land. When will we leave?”
“A disciple who was recently in the Blessed Land returned for supplies, he’s going back in three days. At that time, Junior Brother Lu, you can go with him.”
Lu Xuan gently nodded; three days would be adequate time to handle and arrange the many spirit plants in his cave dwelling.
“By the way, Junior Brother Lu, do you still remember Elder Uncle Gu Jiankong? Among the Golden Core Real People in the Blessed Land, he is one of them.” “Elder Uncle Gu Jiankong?”
A handsome young man surrounded by thousands of sword images flickered across Lu Xuan’s mind. He had met him when he was helping the Green Xuan Deer resolve its obsession. The moment Ge Pu mentioned him, he immediately had an impression.
At that time, he had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Due to helping Ge Pu with the Yin Yang Koi Fish’s breeding trouble, he was recommended to enter the secret land to treat the Green Xuan Deer, and gained the immensely beneficial Qingmu Origin Energy.
“In three days, then, I will leave for the Blessed Land with my fellow disciples.”
Lu Xuan said seriously as he returned to the cave dwelling.
After going to the Blessed Land, it is highly probable that it will take some time for him to return. He must properly arrange all the spirit plants in the spirit field.
On the mountain peak, Lu Xuan used the grandmaster level Earth Pulling Technique. In a flash, around two hundred tiny cracks appeared in the spirit field. He accurately tossed the thin blue spiritual seeds into the fissures one by one.
These more than two hundred spiritual seeds were all Water Glow Grass. Lu Xuan had harvested some a while ago and left nearly fifty strains for seed condensing. Only today did he plant the new seeds into the spirit field.
The spirit soil constantly changed to perfectly cover the Water glow grass spirit seeds. Immediately after, changesappeared in the low-altitude clouds, and strands of Spirit Rain drifted down to seep into the spirit soil, fully moistening the pale blue seeds.
These over two hundred stalks of water glow grass were key for him to increase his cultivation level.
After going to the Blessed Land, he could only let them grow and fade by themselves for a while. Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the Inner Sect was extremely pure and rich which could guarantee the basic growth of the second grade water glow grass.
Lu Xuan continued inspecting the Spirit Field and found three fully matured green marbled gourds hanging on the Sword Nurturing Gourd Vine. He picked them off one by one and three light clusters appeared, each revealing a fourth grade sword symbol.
At this point, there were still four Sword Nurturing Gourds hanging on the three gourd vines. Lu Xuan already had a total of fourteen fourth grade sword symbols, so he wasn’t in a hurry to let these few gourds mature quickly.
“However, this Spirit Gathering Pine is different.”
Lu Xuan arrived in the spirit field, standing before the jubilant Spirit Gathering Pines that greeted his arrival with wafts of pine breeze, he thought to himself.
He’s about to enter the Blessed Land soon, though he doesn’t need to go to the front line to fight, and can stay in the rear to study mutant spiritual plants, and with the protection of Golden Core Real People, Lu Xuan who was always cautious still felt somewhat anxious.
“The fourth grade Spirit Gathering Pine, the light cluster might contain a good treasure.”
He decided to use Qingmu Origin Energy to hasten the ripening of one of the Spirit Gathering Pines. He currently had two three-grade Spirit Absorbing Grass Beads, which contained abundant grass and wood spiritual energy, and could fully replenish the consumed Qingmu Origin Energy.
Plus, there were still thirty Primordial Essence herbs growing in the cave dwelling that might provide Nascent Soul Grass Orbs. This made the Qingmu Origin Energy still rare, but he didn’t have to save it like before anymore..
