Chapter 130 – Flame Fruit
Chapter 130 – Flame Fruit
“Senior brother is overpraising, just a little bit of luck.”
“Besides, there was an unexpected factor in cultivating the Sword Grass before, so I don’t know if I can successfully cultivate it again.”
Lu Xuan said modestly.
“If it’s Master Lu’s words, then it’s definitely not a problem.”
The old farming cultivator said with a smile, Lu Xuan had come over to the Si Nong Hall twice, once he had bought the second grade Flowing Light Wood and Yin Acacia with spirit stones, and the second time he had even exchanged his sword seal for the third grade Sword Nurturing Gourd, he was thus deeply impressed and was clear that Lu Xuan had extremely deep attainments in the path of spiritual plants.
“I also have to thank senior brother for helping to keep an eye on the matter of the Sword Grass.”
Lu Xuan thanked.
The two of them were polite for a few moments, and Lu Xuan didn’t stay much longer as he exited from the Hall of Si Nong and returned to his cave.
Inside, he took out two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds from his storage bag and placed them on the table.
“Getting two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds without spending a single Sword Seal, that Hall Master of the Sinnon Hall is quite generous.”
For these two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, he intended to cultivate them with all his heart and try to improve their quality, in order to raise his status in the mind of that Sinnoh Hall Master, and when he became an Inner Sect Disciple, he would be able to have the qualification to plant a large number of Sword Grasses.
He came to the spiritual field, found an empty area, executed the Earth Drawing Technique, and planted the two Swordgrass Spirit Seeds separately.
[Sword Grass, Second Grade Spiritual Plant, after maturity, it is shaped like a sword blade, sharp and hard, born with a sword weapon, can be used directly or used to refine flying swords].
After planting the Sword Grass Spirit Seed, his mind condensed on the Spirit Seed and a message flashed through his mind.
Lu Xuan’s mind moved, and a golden yellow sword qi as thin as a hair drilled out from his body like a swimming fish, drilling into the shallow spiritual soil and seeping inside the Sword Grass Spirit Seed.
Immediately after that, the second Sword Grass Spirit Seed, he did as he had done and punched in a fine Geng Gold Sword Qi.
Planting two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, there were two more high grade spirit plants in the spiritual field at once, and it took more time and spiritual energy to plant them.
Lu Xuan was happy about it, inspecting the spiritual field many times a day to ensure that the many spiritual plants could grow well.
He was still working on the Thousand Dragon Lake’s task of raising the Jiao Dragon Pythons, during which two first-grade pythons broke through to second-grade, for which Lu Xuan was rewarded with twenty sword seals.
Among the remaining Jiao Dragons, the second grade two-headed Jiao Dragon ate enough suitable demonic beast meat every day, and in the name of territorial rivalry, often took the other Jiao Dragons and Boa Constrictors out to fight, thus getting sufficient exercise, and had a high probability of advancing to the third grade stage.
Lu Xuan arrived at the Hall of Concubine Affairs aboard the Spirit Crane.
Underneath the huge light screen, various task information flashed by, and numerous outer disciples waited below the light screen to pick the right task.
“Senior Brother Lu, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
Lu Xuan was raising his head to collect the information on the light screen when a familiar, calm voice rang out not far away.
He followed the voice and Xu Shaoze was looking at him with a smile on his face.
“So it’s Senior Brother Xu.”
Seeing his neighbor, Lu Xuan walked forward and greeted him with a smile.
“Senior Brother Lu, have you found the mission of your choice?”
The stoic-faced Xu Shaoze asked curiously.
“Not yet.” Lu Xuan smiled and shook his head.
Seeing this, Xu Shaoze pondered slightly.
“Why don’t Senior Brother Lu and I take up a mission together? The location of the mission is in a city of casual cultivators outside the sect, and there is a sighting of an evil spirit inside, so three to five people need to go together to take care of the evil spirit.”
“Right now, we already have three people to take on this mission, so if Senior Brother Lu joins in, the certainty will be a bit greater.”
Xu Shaoze uttered an invitation.
“Leaving the sect and cleaning up evil spirits? Senior Brother Xu, I think it’s better to forget about it.”
“I only know how to cultivate spiritual plants, I’m not good at fighting, so if I go, I guess I’ll drag a few senior brothers down, and instead, I’ll affect you guys from completing your mission.” Lu Xuan let out a bitter smile and said rather self-knowingly.
“Is that so? Then I won’t force you, Senior Brother Lu.”
Xu Shaoze’s expression did not change in the slightest, and seeing Lu Xuan’s resolute attitude, he did not continue to invite him to go ahead and cleanse the evil spirits.
After he left, Lu Xuan alone paid attention to the numerous mission information on the light screen.
Although according to Xu Shaoze’s words, there would be at least three people going together to clean up the evil spirits, with minimal risk and safety guaranteed, Lu Xuan preferred to stay in the sect, so he refused at the first opportunity without any mental burden.
Since he had already taken on the long term task of raising the Thousand Dragon Lake Jiao Long Demonic Beast, along with the fact that there were still quite a few spiritual plants in the Spirit Fields that he needed to cultivate on his own, Lu Xuan had directly given up on the types of quests that took a long time.
After sifting through them, he finally chose a quest to cure the illness of a spirit plant.
“Flame Fruit Treatment Quest. There is a problem with the growth of a cultivated Flame Fruit, and a fellow disciple who specializes in cultivating spiritual plants is needed to discover and fix the problem.”
“Mission reward, thirty sword seals.”
“Flame Fruit, if I remember correctly, it should be a second-grade spiritual plant, cultivating spiritual fruits that contain rich spiritual qi, and can slightly enhance the cultivator’s internal spiritual energy while having a wonderful flavor.”
Lu Xuan recalled the information about the Flame Fruit and without the slightest hesitation, his Spiritual Awareness flicked a bit on the quest information about this Flame Fruit on the light screen.
Instantly, the quest transformed into a faint stream of light that surged into Lu Xuan’s mind.
He followed the tips of the information in the stream of light and searched for a Spirit Crane outside the Hall of Concubine Affairs.
“Go to Wangbei Peak.”
He instructed the spirit crane.
The tall spirit crane shot up into the sky, piggybacking on Lu Xuan, fluttering its wings and speeding towards the location Lu Xuan had spoken of.
A few moments later, the spirit crane stopped at a tall mountain peak.
Lu Xuan stuffed it with a spirit stone and followed the mission information, traveling between the peaks.
This mountain peak was much more lively than the one where Lu Xuan’s cave was located, with courtyards and pavilions all around, and from time to time, there were sect cultivators using spirit birds and flying spells to go in and out of it.
He turned around and came to a small elegant courtyard.
“Elder sister, are you at home? I’m here because of the Flame Fruit mission.”
Lu Xuan gently knocked on the wooden door and called out in a low voice to the inside of the courtyard.
“Coming coming.”
A crisp voice rang out, and soon, the wooden door opened, and a female cultivator dressed in apricot yellow clothes stretched out her half-round face and looked at Lu Xuan with a delicate and cute expression.
“Senior brother, please come in.”
“My surname is Chen, senior brother can just call me Senior Sister Chen, I don’t know how to address senior brother you?”
The round-faced female cultivator said with a smile while leading Lu Xuan inside.
“Senior sister can just call me Senior Brother Lu.”
“I wonder where that Flame Fruit is now? I want to go over and take a look first.”
Inside the courtyard, there were quite a few flowers and plants planted, and Lu Xuan noticed that most of them were Spirit Fruit Spirit Plants, which showed how much this Senior Sister Chen loved Spirit Fruits.
“Senior Brother Lu doesn’t need to be in a hurry, first taste the spirit fruits I’ve grown.”
The round-faced female cultivator said politely, leading Lu Xuan into the hall room, and quickly brought over a few plates of spirit fruits, placing them in front of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan followed his master’s wishes and sat down quietly, pinching up a piece of spirit fruit and stuffing it into his mouth.
The spirit fruits were each delicious in their own way, either crisp or sweet, allowing Lu Xuan’s taste buds to be greatly satisfied.
