Chapter 121 – Wind Falcon, Sword Gourd
Chapter 121 – Wind Falcon, Sword Nurturing Gourd
After Lu Xuan finished absorbing the Second Grade Cleansing Mantra, he couldn’t hold back the curiosity in his heart and silently recited the mantra, casting one on himself.
At once, he felt his whole body like falling into an ice cave, all the distracting thoughts and desires in his mind were dispersed by the cold, and there was only a blanket of snow white.
He actively recalled a familiar alphanumeric, teacher’s name, and numerous figures from his previous life flashed through his mind, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
“I’ve lost my worldly desires.”
Lu Xuan sighed with emotion, and his heart had a rough understanding of this Second Grade Purity Mantra.
He placed the five pieces of Cleansing Miraculous Spirit Tea Tea Leaves together with the previous ones and continued to patrol the Spirit Field.
Under the Spirit Spring Strange Stone, seeing Lu Xuan coming over, the Iron Chelated Crab Hatchling held a pair of large, sword-like green and black chelipeds high in the air, flaunting its power, as its chelipeds opened and closed, seemingly showing off its might like Lu Xuan.
“Looks like it’s grown quite a bit in this period of time, I’ve come to let you feel it for yourself.”
Lu Xuan took out the most arrogant Iron Chequered Crab hatchling, letting the Treading Cloud Lynx stand guard to prevent it from returning to the Spirit Spring, and shook out a large pile of Copper and Iron Ore from his storage bag.
Ore after ore was sent to the Iron Chevron Crab’s chevron feet one after another, and the clicking sound was endless and wonderful.
It was only when these copper and iron ores became small broken stones that Lu Xuan gave up, letting go of that pair of chelipeds that were already trembling slightly, the Iron Cheliped Crab Young Beast.
He took some chilly and cold spring water from the well and entered the cavern, pouring it around the Yin acacia.
When he came out of the cavern, under the sunlight, the dense cold air on his body dispersed a few points.
He came back to the spiritual field area where he planted the Flowing Light Wood and Copper Bone Bamboo, and according to their subtle needs, after casting spells such as the Spiritual Rain Technique and the Wood Born Technique, he also organized the lines on the Flowing Light Wood plant clearly, and the Copper Bone Bamboo rhizome, leaving behind a large pile of reddish copper and iron crumbs.
After inspecting the growth of the Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit, Lu Xuan came next to the Jiao Vine.
He took out a white jade vial from his storage bag, which was holding the fresh blood that he had extracted from the many Jiao dragon pythons.
“Jiao Vine, ah Jiao Vine, in order to be able to let you mature as soon as possible, I pulled my face down and begged a little here and a little there, and that’s how I got all this precious Jiao Dragon blood.”
“It’s just that there are more varieties, so you can just think of it as eating a hundred bloods.”
“I don’t have any other requests, I just hope that for the sake of me working so hard, grow up well and mature quickly, this is the greatest reward for me.”
Lu Xuan murmured as he poured the auger blood.
Being of the same second grade, the Jiao Dragon blood was indeed much more effective than the Aqua Python blood.
After the Jiao Vine had absorbed the blood, the entire vine seemed to come to life as it kept twisting like a demonic and sinister black snake.
“I also wonder if the Jiao Dragon chi dragon bloodline can enhance the quality of the Jiao Vine a bit.”
Lu Xuan watched from the sidelines for a while before leaving the spiritual field and returning to the house.
With two consecutive quests, cultivating the Monkey Face Orchid and raising the Jiao Dragon Demonic Beast, he had earned quite a few extra Sword Seals through his knowledge of the immediate state of the Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Beasts.
Ten sword seals a month for raising the Jiao Long, ten for the Red Armored Python Breakthrough Reward, and fifty for the Ice Chip Breakthrough Reward, together with the eighty-seven sword seals he had left behind before, he now had a total of one hundred and fifty-seven sword seals in his hands.
“Two quests earning one hundred and fifty-seven sword seals, those fellow disciples who have gone through trials and tribulations outside and even encountered life and death struggles most likely haven’t earned as much as I have.”
Lu Xuan lamented.
“With this many Sword Seals, it’s more than enough to buy a Third Grade Spirit Seed, and in addition, you can buy a Speed-type Demon Bird Egg or Young Bird.”
The last time he entered the Hall of Sinon, he noticed that the sword seals required for a third-grade spirit seed ranged from large tens or hundreds.
Therefore, he also wanted to buy a demonic bird to raise and try it out.
Due to the special spiritual fields and the fact that the spiritual plants needed to be cultivated on a daily basis, it was inconvenient for him to live in the Thousand Dragon Lake stone house, and he had to commute between the two places on a daily basis.
It was a long way to travel, so he only had to take a spirit crane, consuming two spirit stones per day. Although with his current wealth, he could completely afford this commuting expense, Lu Xuan had always been frugal and had no intention of purchasing a flying magic weapon, so he planned to raise a flying bird.
When it grows up, it can be used as a commuting tool while also receiving light cluster rewards, killing two birds with one stone.
He came to a large hall called the Beast Management Hall, which was much more opulent than the Sinnon Hall, in which the Spirit Crane contribution should be in the minority.
One should know that the ubiquitous Spirit Cranes in the Heavenly Sword Sect were all under the jurisdiction of the Beast Harnessing Hall, and one day would bring in an unknown amount of Spirit Stone revenue.
Lu Xuan secretly estimated and inwardly sighed at the trenchancy of the Beast Harnessing Hall as he entered the hall.
“Hello this senior sister, I want to buy a Demon Bird Egg or Demon Bird Juvenile, grade of second grade, preferably with a rise in speed, Spirit Stones, Sword Seal payment is fine.”
After entering, Lu Xuan found a Beast Harnessing Hall female cultivator and saluted and asked.
Although first grade demonic birds were easier to cultivate, the light cluster rewards they brought were likely to be more ribald, and third grade ones were still a bit of a stretch in terms of the number of sword seals he had with his current cultivation level, so he planned to raise a second grade demonic bird.
“Second grade demonic birds, there aren’t many varieties within the sect that can immediately provide young birds or eggs.”
“Should senior brother consider the Wind Falcon? Second grade rank, speed needless to say, top of the list amongst demonic birds of the same rank, temperament is also quite docile, it’s relatively simple to raise.”
The female cultivator recommended to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan compared the other varieties of demonic birds and finally nodded his head.
“Alright, let’s follow what Senior Sister said.”
“Senior brother, just pay thirty-five sword seals.”
Lu Xuan took out thirty-five sword seals and received a demonic bird egg with rich vitality from the female cultivator.
The size of the demon bird egg was not small, holding it in his hands was even wider than Lu Xuan’s shoulders, with a green-colored shell, and the surface had subtle air currents surging through it.
Lu Xuan will temporarily put it into the bag of life, and so on after buying the spirit seed back, in the contract, will be inside the wind falcon young bird hatched out.
Afterward, he rented a Spirit Crane and went to the Hall of Si Nong.
Upon entering, Lu Xuan saw the old farmer-like cultivator from last time, and with a slight smile, he walked up to him.
“Senior brother, I want to buy a third-grade spirit seed, spirit stone sword seal payment is fine, please senior brother you recommend one or two.”
The old farmer cultivator raised his head, his expression was stunned, he seemed to still have some impression of Lu Xuan, then, he opened the two jade books.
“Senior brother, please look, the third grade spirit species you can pick are in these two jade books, one has less than ten species, all are some ordinary and common third grade spirit plants in the cultivation world, and can be directly purchased with spirit stones.”
“The other book has a bit more variety, most of the species in it are some of the more rare and uncommon spirit species, and some of them are unique within the sect, and can only be exchanged with sword seals.”
Lu Xuan nodded gently, directly skipping the common type of third grade spirit plants, the degree of richness of the light group rewards also had a lot to do with the variety of the spirit plants, the more rare the spirit plant the easier it would be to open the rare rewards.
The more rare the plant, the more likely it was to produce rare rewards. The same second-grade, rare sword grass, the Dark Marrow Chi, and the Cleansing Miraculous Spirit Tea had a big difference in the rewards they produced.
On top of the jade book, the three-dimensional pattern of the spirit plant appeared vividly in front of Lu Xuan, and in the corner there was a detailed description of the type, efficacy, etc. The three-dimensional pattern of the spirit plant appeared vividly in front of Lu Xuan.
“This is it!”
Lu Xuan flipped through the pages, and instantly fell in love with one of the Spiritual Plants.
[Sword Nurturing Gourd, Third Grade Spiritual Plant, when mature, the gourd contains invisible sword qi and is extremely strong in killing.]
A mottled pale green gourd appeared in front of Lu Xuan’s eyes, the atlas could vaguely see the gourd’s sword qi overflowing, as if it could come out of the body at any time.
