Chapter 43: Forty-Three Fragrance of Subtle Spirit Tea
Chapter 43 The Forty-Third Fragrance of Subtle Spirit Tea
“Watching over the Spirit Fields so dutifully, truly a good employee of mine ……”
Lu Xuan felt the same sentence that kept echoing in his mind and looked at the Grass Puppets that kept up the patrol rhythm, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“It must be heavily rewarded!”
He made up his mind, called the Grass Puppet over, fumbled a few times in his arms, and took out a grain of Broken Spirit.
After hesitating for a moment, he fumbled for another grain and stuffed them together into the gray grass tumor on the grass puppet’s gigantic head.
Immediately afterward, the mind converged on the grass puppet’s body.
“Guard the spirit field!”
“Guard the spiritual field!”
……
The readings were still repetitive words, but compared to before feeding the Shattered Spirit, Lu Xuan vaguely sensed that the Grass Puppet had a little more joy in its heart.
For the next two days, Lu Xuan remained vigilant, the Split Silver Blade and the Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talismans were almost never out of his hand, but no movement occurred, everything was as usual.
It seemed as if the report from two days ago had never occurred.
The Spirit Glow Grass in the Spirit Field began to mature in large quantities, and Lu Xuan picked up twelve plants.
Within the twelve plants, there were two of perfect quality, six of superior quality, and the other four were of good quality.
“Harvested one plant of Spirit Glow Grass, gained June Cultivation.” *2
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass, gain September cultivation.” *2
Out of the twelve white light clusters, four of them were cultivation rewards, bringing Lu Xuan a total of two and a half years of cultivation.
Four thoughts flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind as wave after wave of spiritual energy surged through his body, surging and pounding the meridians and dantians in his body.
It was only after a long time that the crazy raging spiritual energy gradually calmed down.
Lu Xuan operated slightly, feeling the thick spiritual energy that filled his limbs and bones, a sense of peace of mind arose.
With his cultivation further advanced, in case he clashed head-on with the evil spirit behind Wang Shan, he would have a greater certainty.
“Harvested one Spirit Glow Grass, obtained a first-grade talisman Sword Qi Talisman.” *2
“Harvesting one plant of Spirit Glow Grass, obtaining a first-grade talisman Ice Spike Talisman.”
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass and obtain a Grade 1 Talisman Exorcism Charm.”
As the thought flashed by, four different talismans appeared in Lu Xuan’s hands one after another.
Although they were only first-grade talismans, which were average for killing and injuring mid-level Qi Practitioner cultivators, as long as there were enough of them, they could have a good effect if the talismans were used in unison.
After consuming most of the talismans during Qin Ming’s attack on him, Lu Xuan had collected dozens of first grade talismans during this time.
“Harvested one Spirit Glow Grass and obtained a First Grade Gengjin Sword Technique.”
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass and obtain the Art of Wood Born.” *2
Out of the remaining four white light clusters, three of them opened out into Artistic Technique Experience Packs, causing Lu Xuan’s understanding of the Gengjin Sword Technique and the Wood Born Art to become even more profound and thorough.
The Gengjin Sword Technique had vaguely touched the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm, with its casting speed, killing, and control abilities further advanced.
The Wood Born Technique had reached the Proficient Realm, and when it was executed, one could see faint green spiritual energy gathering at the branches and leaves of the spiritual plants, making rapid progress compared to the very beginning.
The last white ball of light, Lu Xuan gently picked it up.
The light ball transformed into countless points of light and hid into Lu Xuan’s body as a thought flashed through his mind.
“Harvesting one Spirit Glow Grass, obtaining a Second Grade Talisman, Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talisman.”
A talisman engraved with countless subtle sword marks appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand, the sword intent sharp as if it would penetrate his body though time.
“Two perfect quality Spirit Glow Grasses, one of them opens out a second grade Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talismans, and the other one is not known to be a first grade talisman or a Gengjin Sword Skill, which is not bad at all.”
Lu Xuan put away the talisman and put the Spirit Glow Grass in a jade box.
There were now twenty-three mature Spirit Glow Grasses collected to prevent the loss of vitality, so they had to be sent to the Hundred Herb Hall to be disposed of.
Lu Xuan opened the courtyard formation and instructed the Grass Puppet to pay more attention, then took the Biyou Treading Cloud Lynx out the door.
Now that an alienated cultivator appeared outside from time to time, having a lynx cub by his side was more or less insurance.
In the Hundred Herb Hall, the hall was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and there was no sign of Steward He, only a few medicine boys handling the herbs. “Brother Lu, you came over, Steward He is inside for some things, you sit down for a while, I’ll make you a pot of hot tea.”
A teenage medicine boy was sharp-eyed, seeing Lu Xuan come in, he hurriedly greeted him, moving a mahogany chair from the side and placing it beside Lu Xuan, he quickly brought a cup of hot spirit tea.
“Good.”
Lu Xuan sat down and took the spirit tea.
He could feel that compared to when he first came to the Hundred Herb Hall, the attitude of the Hall’s medicine boy towards him had changed greatly.
When he had only come in, he was just a small casual cultivator at the second level of Qi Practicing, bringing a few ordinary quality Spirit Glow Grasses, begging Steward He to take them away, and the few medicine boys in the hall hadn’t even looked at him squarely for a few moments.
Slowly, the number of times he came into the Hundred Herb Hall gradually increased, and there were only one or two medicine boys who nodded their heads in greeting when he came in.
After he established a cooperative relationship with the Hundred Herb Hall, the few medicine boys became enthusiastic and took the initiative to greet him, as if they had known each other for many years.
After continuously selling perfect grade Spirit Glow Grass, they were even more enthusiastic like fire, serving tea and water without fail.
Lu Xuan clearly understood that the source of the reason for such an obvious change lay in his ability to grow a steady stream of high-quality Spirit Plants.
He understood in his heart, and also understood even more the value of Steward He as well as Zhang Hong’s two men’s snowfalls.
Before the tea was finished, Steward He came in with great vigor.
“Lu kid, you came?”
“How many Spirit Glow Grasses did you bring over this time? What’s the quality?”
The thin old man asked curiously.
“Brought twenty-two plants, the quality will definitely not disappoint your old man.”
Lu Xuan smiled back.
He took out more than twenty Spirit Glow Grasses from his storage bag and placed them on the counter.
“Nine good quality Spirit Glow Grasses, nine top quality ones, and four perfect quality ones.”
Steward He carefully inspected them one by one and sighed as he looked at Lu Xuan with complicated eyes.
“Your kid’s growth speed is also also too fast, with such a large number of Spirit Glow Grass, there is actually not a single ordinary quality strain, the lowest is good quality, and the probability of perfect quality appearing is not low.”
“It looks like the perfect quality Spirit Glow Grass that you handed over earlier was indeed not an accident.”
“To be able to keep ensuring such planting efficiency is already more than most of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Spiritual Planters, one must know that the effort they spend on Spiritual Plants can be double or even several times more than you.”
“I also know that I’m quite good, so how many spirit stones can I exchange these Spirit Glow Grasses for?”
Lu Xuan propped his hand on his chin and smiled as he looked at Steward He who was still sighing.
“You brat, drilling into the eyes of money.”
“It’s the same old price, I’ll do the math, it’s a total of seventy-seven Spirit Stones and thirty Broken Spirits, see if that’s right.”
“Elder He, your math is definitely right.”
Lu Xuan took the seventy or so Spirit Stones he handed over, the Spirit Stones were swept over and placed into his storage bag.
“Remember what I told you before? As long as you can steadily grow high-quality spirit plants, then you’ll be able to obtain a chance.”
“There are a few spirit plants in the hall that were entrusted to me to find one of the spirit plant masters I work with, and I see that you’ve performed so well, so I plan to keep half of them for you.”
“Oh? What spirit plants?” Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“Clear Myriad Spirit Tea.”
“Second grade.”
Steward He said with a smile.
