Chapter 4 The Gengjin Sword Technique
Chapter 4 The Gengjin Sword Technique
After learning the information of the three Qi Practicing 4th layer cultivators from the cultivator surnamed Huang, Lu Xuan seized the time to visit them one by one, and finally chose Qin Ming, who specialized in Ice Arts.
There was nothing else, but cheapness.
Among the three, the Lingyun Fairy asked for the highest price of ten spirit stones, directly scaring Lu Xuan away, followed by Li Xu, who specializes in sword qi silk, asking for nine spirit stones, the cheapest is Qin Ming, only need seven spirit stones.
Lu Xuan naturally did not hesitate and chose Qin Ming at the first opportunity, and on the way, he took great pains to slash Qin Ming’s reward by fifty broken Spirit, saving half a Spirit Stone.
But this cheapness was only relative to the other two cultivators, knowing that Lu Xuan had rented this courtyard with the spirit field for a monthly rent of five spirit stones.
Then in just a short while, he had spent more than a month’s worth of his expenses, how could Lu Xuan not be heartbroken!
It was a good thing that he had successfully solved the problem of the Black Sprout Bug larvae, and he only hoped that the white mass of light from the Spirit Glow Grass that had returned to normal would be able to bring in a not-so-expensive reward.
His mind gathered on the Spirit Glow Grass that had been eroded by the thin black threads, and a thought flashed by.
“A sudden shiver, it feels so empty, as if something has disappeared from my body and is in dire need of replenishment.”
What the hell state?
Lu Xuan spat out a sentence, his body’s spiritual qi surged, wisps of spiritual rain fell on the emerald green leaves of the Spirit Glow Grass, seeping into it.
It was only after three consecutive Spirit Rain Techniques that this Spirit Glow Grass, which had suffered from a loss of vitality, recovered most of the way.
Lu Xuan made a tour of the small courtyard, learning about the immediate status of the remaining Spirit Glow Grass as well as the two Eclipse Trees, confirming that there were no problems before entering the house with peace of mind.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Lu Xuan didn’t have time to wash up and hurriedly rushed next to the Spirit Glow Grass, pinched the leaves, and turned up its back.
The thin black lines that had been haunting the plant in the previous few days finally stopped appearing.
He let out a long breath, and a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.
After a round of Spirit Rain Technique, Lu Xuan took a closer look at the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field and realized that the progress bar underneath three more Spirit Glow Grasses had been completely drawn up.
The mind condensed on it.
“Ordinary quality Spirit Glow Grass *2.”
“Good quality Spirit Glow Grass.”
“Huh? Good quality Spirit Firefly Grass?”
Lu Xuan noticed the subtle difference between the three Spirit Glow Grasses.
This Seeded Field Outcast only appeared after harvesting the first Spirit Glow Grass, so he wasn’t sure about the quality of the first Spirit Glow Grass when it matured.
He carefully picked the Spirit Glow Grass that was filled with faint fluorescence, and three white light clusters quietly appeared in the same spot, flickering slightly, seemingly attracting Lu Xuan to pick them up.
“Harvested one Spirit Glow Grass, gained three months of cultivation.”
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass, gain three months of cultivation.”
“Harvest one Spirit Firefly Grass and gain the spell Earth Leader.”
The moment he picked up the light cluster, Lu Xuan felt an instant surge of aura in his body.
The crazy influx of spiritual energy raged between the meridians, and when it calmed down, Lu Xuan sensed that his cultivation had broken through to the third level of Qi Practicing.
After days of bitter cultivation and a little help from the three white light masses, he finally managed to break through to the third level of Qi cultivation.
Lu Xuan thought with relief.
At the same time as his Spiritual Energy surged, a technique called Earth Drawing Technique also appeared in his sea of consciousness. He realized with clarity in his heart and learned a lot of information about the Earth Drawing Art.
The Earth Drawing Art was similar to the Spiritual Rain Art, both being one of several essential low-ranked arts for Spiritual Plantsmiths, and after successful cultivation, it could induce and control the structural changes in the soil, as well as change the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the soil, allowing Spiritual Plants to grow better.
For the current Lu Xuan, it could be considered quite practical.
As he invoked the spell, the grayish-black soil inside the spiritual field slightly rumbled under the control of his spiritual energy, changing the position of the rhizomes of the remaining Spirit Glow Grasses in small increments in a subtle manner, causing them to be more reasonably distributed, no longer either empty in a large chunk, or crowded together.
“I originally thought that the white light clusters brought by all Spirit Glow Grasses would be for March cultivation, but now it seems that the same variety of Spirit Plants will also bloom with different light cluster rewards.
That good quality mature Spirit Glow Grass brought the art of Earth Drawing.”
“It seems that the remaining twenty or so Spirit Glow Grasses, as well as the two Eclipse Trees, need to be tended to more carefully, and improving their quality at maturity is what raises the rewards of the white light clusters.”
Lu Xuan thought in his heart.
The courtyard was not large, the two Eclipse Trees occupied a small area, the remaining area was planted with a total of twenty-four Spirit Glow Grasses, harvested twice totaling four plants, with twenty remaining plants about to mature.
Don’t look at the Spirit Glow Grass occupies a very small area, but the rhizomes in the soil are extremely wide-ranging, even if it is only planted more than twenty plants, it is already the result of maximizing the use of the soil of the spiritual field.
Judging from the rewards brought by good quality Spirit Glow Grass, cultivating spiritual plants, it was best to maximize their quality when they matured.
This would allow them to be sold for more Spirit Stones as well as receive better rewards from the Light Clusters, killing two birds with one stone.
Now that he could understand the immediate status of the Spirit Plants, and with the assistance of the Earth Drawing Technique as well as the Spirit Rain Technique, Lu Xuan was confident in this.
He was ready to change his usual planting methods.
Previously, he had performed the Spiritual Rain Technique at regular intervals to moisturize the Spirit Plants every day, and he would also come to the Spirit Fields from time to time to check if there were any foreign bugs infesting the fields in between his cultivation sessions.
This was already a relatively reasonable cultivation method for a low-ranked spiritual planter.
After being able to understand the state of the spiritual plants in real time, he planned to change the wide-range Spiritual Rain Technique to a localized and refined one, and to satisfy the needs of any Spirit Flowering Grass that he sensed, so that he could do his best to cultivate the best quality of the spiritual plants.
As soon as he thought of it, he executed the Spirit Rain Technique and Earth Drawing Technique over and over again according to the subtle differences in the needs of each Spirit Flowering Grass, until his body’s spiritual energy was exhausted.
Looking at each and every oily green Spirit Glow Grass in the spirit field, the exhausted Lu Xuan revealed a pleased smile.
As for not even having time to cultivate today? He stated that that was no longer important, and now he just wanted to plant the fields in peace and quiet.
After two days of such hard work, five mature Spirit Glow Grasses were placed in front of Lu Xuan.
However, probably due to the fact that it had been planted for too long, the fine cultivation of just a few days could not bring about a qualitative change.
Of the five plants, three were of ordinary quality and two were of good quality.
The three ordinary Spirit Glow Grasses brought Lu Xuan the same amount of Spiritual Qi that he had accumulated during the nine months of his normal cultivation.
As for the other two good quality Spirit Glow Grasses, one was similarly a Ground Leader.
After Lu Xuan absorbed it, he felt that he had gained a deeper understanding of the art, the time to activate the art was shorter, and the degree of control over the soil changes was more refined and comfortable.
“It looks like if the reward of the light cluster that opens out is the same jutsu, absorbing it will increase the understanding of it, which is equivalent to an experience bar.”
Lu Xuan pondered, and then the Light Cluster Reward from another Good Quality Spirit Glow Grass appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
“The Gengjin Sword Technique!”
