Chapter 143 – Fertility of Ling Crane
Chapter 143 – Spirit Crane Fertility Problem
The Insect Scripture recorded hundreds of exotic insects and bugs on it, Iron Fire Ants, White Jade Praying Mantis, and Six Winged Centipede …… grades are predominantly of the first and second grades, and there are only a handful of third grade Foundation Establishment level ones.
The light green toad that Lu Xuan encountered in the Spiritual Plant Garden was also among them, named Wood Poison Toad, feeding on demonic insects and beasts that contain rich wood spiritual energy, and especially favoring mimic worms.
It will change its shape and body color according to the surrounding environment and use it to hide itself. Its toxicity is extremely strong, and the venom of a full-bodied Wood Poison Toad can even threaten a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Lu Xuan roughly scanned through this “Insect Scripture” and learned about many of the methods of rearing demonic insects, means of reproduction, and methods of harnessing them.
“For ordinary cultivators, this Insect Scripture is rather eccentric and can’t stand up to normal feats and arts and so on, however, it’s not of much use to me, and if I cultivate spirit insects, I should be able to obtain Light Cluster rewards as well.”
“The growth cycle of Spirit Insects is usually a bit shorter compared to Spirit Beasts, and many varieties of Spirit Insects are cultivated on a large scale in extremely large numbers, and naturally, the amount of Light Globes they receive will be more.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart and decided to go and find bug eggs or larvae and try to cultivate them if he had the chance.
He roughly took stock of the harvest from this pest clearing row.
In terms of Spirit Stones, the Zhang Family Head gifted five hundred Spirit Stones, and together with the cultivator’s storage bag, he got about six hundred Spirit Stones.
In addition, after completing the mission, Yao Qing gave forty sword seals as a reward, as well as the Insect Scripture and a number of low-ranked pills and magic weapons.
“The Fish Pond Frying experience feels pretty good, the task is easy and the rewards are generous.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly, then noticed his change in mindset and instantly adjusted it.
“Do not be careless, there might be a scaly dragon hidden in the fish pond, it’s better to stay in the sect to cultivate spiritual plants and raise spiritual beasts that are more suitable for you.”
He put away the Insect Scripture and went to the spirit field.
The numerous spirit plants in the spirit field hadn’t been cultivated for a few days, and the impact was not significant.
The spirit soil in the middle of the two sword grasses had sword marks all over it, showing how often they secretly struck their swords.
“It’s not bad to keep it active and promote growth in this way.”
Lu Xuan carefully probed the state of the swordgrasses and found that the swordgrass plants had not suffered any damage, instead, they were growing extremely well, so he was relieved and eventually decided to maintain the status quo and not transplant one of the swordgrasses elsewhere.
At the Sword Nurturing Gourd, the flying sword that had been put down had become a piece of barred scrap metal again, and could only serve as a support for the gourd’s vines.
“It just so happens that that cultivator has two flying swords in his storage bag, it’s not bad to use it as a nutrient for the Sword Nurturing Gourd.”
Lu Xuan took out a flying sword from his storage bag and placed it underneath the turquoise vines of the gourd.
The two hundred newly planted Spirit Glow Grasses grew delightfully green.
The Sect’s aura environment was considered to be a dimensional blow to the classless spiritual plants, and even though Lu Xuan’s cultivation methods were no longer refined, the Spirit Glow Grass was still growing in a fairly good state.
In the spirit field, the third-grade Phantom Smoke Luo Fruit planted in the Lin Yang Market, as well as the second-grade Copper Bone Bamboo had already entered the ripening stage, and Lu Xuan estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he could harvest several more clusters of light.
He still had not a small amount of expectation for the third grade Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit’s light cluster reward.
He came to the second grade Flowing Light Wood and carefully organized and guided the lines of aura above the branches and leaves to avoid affecting the quality of the spirit plant.
Then he went to the Jiao Vine and took out a bottle of the new breed of Jiao Dragon blood and poured it on the ebony vines.
Looking at the vines that slowly swam like vipers, Lu Xuan was satisfied in his heart.
The growth progress of the Jiao Vine was slightly slower than the Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit, but it had already entered the rapid growth stage, and both the thickness and length of the vines had increased quite a bit. The newly planted Ice Luo Fruit had already sent out seedlings, which were pale white and gently swayed in the wind.
Lu Xuan’s spiritual energy was in motion, casting ice basic spells towards the four white jade-like seedlings, and a mist of ice poured over the seedlings, nourishing and moisturizing them.
Underneath the strange rocks of the Spirit Spring, the remaining two mitten crabs had fully matured, and Lu Xuan picked up the two white light masses that appeared one by one.
Unsurprisingly, the two balls of light brought with them both Crab Spirit Balm rewards.
Lu Xuan put the Crab Spirit Paste into his storage bag, and as for the two Iron Mitten Crabs, he kept them for the time being.
For one thing, the Copper Bone Bamboo still needed a lot of copper and iron fragments, and it was still necessary to have enough laborers before maturity to make full use of their pair of large knife-like chelipeds.
The second is to steam the chelonian crab, the best is fresh material, when one day want to eat, directly from the spiritual spring is.
Hiding under the boulder of the two chelid crabs do not know that their fate has been easily decided by Lu Xuan, still flaunting that pair of green and black chelid feet, eyeballs protruding, an unruly and untamed look.
Lu Xuan lightly laughed and scooped up a large cup of Spirit Well Icy Cold Spring Water, entering the chilly cavern and pouring it on the Yin Acacia.
After making sure that all the spirit plants were properly cultivated, Lu Xuan arrived at the Thousand Dragon Lake Stone House.
During the few days he had been out, he had enlisted the help of a fellow disciple to raise the Jiao Dragon Pythons, and fortunately, all of the Jiao Dragon Pythons had already been tempered and tamed by Lu Xuan, and nothing unusual had occurred during the raising process.
Lu Xuan took a Frozen Spirit Fish as a token of appreciation and took over the responsibility of raising the Jiao Long Giant Pythons.
A few days passed, and Lu Xuan quickly returned to his original rhythm of life.
Every day, he came over to the Thousand Dragon Lake and used a large amount of sorted demonic beast meat to properly feed the dozens of Jiao Dragon Pythons.
When he returned to his cave, he spent most of his time cultivating spiritual plants, practicing his gongfu, light body techniques, etc. in his spare time, and flipping through the cultivation information about spiritual plants and beasts.
Occasionally, when the mood came, he took out the Dan furnace and refined a furnace of Peiyuan Dan. After absorbing a lot of Dan formula experience packs, he had an extremely high success rate when refining Peiyuan Dan, easily writing, with ease, and in a trance he had the illusion of being an expert in the Dan Dao.
On this day, he came to the Hall of Concubine Affairs as usual to see if there were any tasks suitable for him.
Those tasks such as exploring secret realms and hunting evil spirits and evil cultivators were automatically ignored by him, focusing on the tasks within the sect that were related to cultivating spiritual plants and beasts.
These types of tasks were not common, after all, growing spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts had a general status in the cultivation techniques.
Not to mention that compared to refining dan and weapons, even making talismans and formations, the degree of importance is higher than spiritual plants.
Occasionally, similar tasks appeared, but they were mostly taken by other cultivators.
Lu Xuan searched for a while before finding a suitable quest about spirit beasts.
[Mission Content:Spirit Crane Fertility Problem. The Spirit Cranes of the Beast Management Hall are experiencing a crisis of declining numbers, and the fertility rate has reached the lowest in nearly a hundred years, seeking a cultivator who can solve the problem of Spirit Crane fertility].
[Mission reward, depending on the fertility of the spirit cranes, a certain number of sword marks will be rewarded for every spirit crane that is conceived, and the more spirit cranes that enter the conception stage, the more additional rewards will be given].
“Spirit Crane fertility issues? I have the impression that there are those kind of Spirit Cranes all around the Sect, how could there be a problem of decreasing numbers?”
With doubt, Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense gently touched the quest information on the light screen, and immediately, the details about the quest surged into his sea of consciousness.
