Chapter 151 – Xuan Worm Vine
Chapter 151 – Xuan Worm Vine
The varieties of spiritual plants on top of the jade album were not many, there were about fifty of the third grade, and the fourth grade was even more than half less, with only twenty or so.
However, all of them were relatively rare and uncommon varieties in the cultivation world, thus, they could only be exchanged with sword seals.
Lu Xuan roughly scanned through them and realized that the difficulty of growing third grade as well as fourth grade spirit plants was much higher than first and second grade spirit plants.
There were a variety of conditions that needed to be met, and in terms of aura alone, the requirements for aura concentration and purity were not at the same level, and even many of the spirit plants required a special spiritual environment.
In addition, there are strange conditions in terms of spiritual soil, cultivation methods, and so on.
“Senior Lu, you’re planning to plant a fourth grade spirit plant?”
The old farmer cultivator standing at the side asked with some incredulity when he saw Lu Xuan’s sight stayed on the jade booklet about the fourth grade spirit plants.
“Just taking a look, with my current attainments in the path of Spirit Plants, I am not yet able to cultivate a Fourth Grade Spirit Plant.”
“So it’s just a matter of making preparations first and slowly accumulating to fulfill the conditions for cultivating a fourth grade spirit plant.”
Lu Xuan said casually.
Of the twenty-odd types of Fourth Grade Spirit Plants on the Jade Album, some of the patterns were in a dull state, which meant that although the Si Nong Hall was able to condense the corresponding Spirit Seeds, it would take a certain amount of time, and it could not provide the corresponding Fourth Grade Spirit Seeds right away at the moment.
“Fourth Grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus ……”
Above the jade album, a fiery red lotus flower slowly rotated, the lotus root was light red, as if it was composed of countless irregular red crystals, the leaves were fiery red, and inside the veins of the leaves, it was as if there was crimson magma slowly flowing.
“This Earth Fire Heart Lotus is very difficult to cultivate, it is said that it has to be planted in incomparably hot magma, in addition, there are also the rest of the planting conditions, even if it is a Foundation Establishment Master Uncle, it cannot be planted easily and successfully.”
The old farmer cultivator informed Lu Xuan about the Earth Fire Heart Lotus, the information he controlled.
“Many thanks for the reminder, Senior Brother.”
After hearing that it needed to be planted in blazing magma, Lu Xuan’s interest was instantly reduced by a large portion, and with the current conditions of his cave, he was unable to meet the growth requirements of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus.
He continued to scroll down, his eyes resting on a strange-looking spirit plant.
At first glance, the spirit plant looked as if it had been pieced together from the bodies of many strange insects and bugs, grotesque yet harmonious, with a strange sense of beauty.
“This is the Xuan Insect Vine, a fourth grade spiritual plant that seems to have a great relationship with various demonic bugbears, the specifics of which I’m not sure about.”
The old farmer cultivator continued.
Lu Xuan nodded and flipped through it from the beginning to the end, gradually eliminating the patterns that were lit up.
“The cave environment is still not enough ah, the growing conditions of most of the fourth grade spirit plants cannot be met.”
Lu Xuan thought in his mind as his sight converged on the strangely shaped Xuan Worm Vine.
“Only this Xuan Insect Vine looks a bit easier to grow, and with the Insect Scripture in his own hands, he has a deeper understanding of Demonic Insects, so he can cultivate the appropriate Insects and Bugs according to the Xuan Insect Vine’s needs.”
Although the Xuan Bug Vine had a strange form, if it was compared to the Thorn Bone and Hundred Pupil Guile Wood, which were several kinds of netherworld spirit plants in Sword Gate Town, it was nothing.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and pointed at the pattern floating above the jade book and said.
“Senior brother, how many sword seals does this Xuan Worm Vine require?”
“Has Senior Brother Lu considered it clearly? The conditions for cultivating this Xuan Worm Vine can be said to be very complicated.”
The old farming cultivator kindly reminded.
“It’s fine, I can slowly feel my way through the trials, and as for the demonic insectivores and whatnot, I can also collect them bit by bit.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile, his tone careless, as if he had no intention of planting the Xuan Insect Vine immediately.
“If it’s a Fourth Grade Spirit Seed, the required Sword Marks will be in the minority.”
“The Xuan Worm Vine Spirit Seed requires two hundred and forty sword seals.” The old farming cultivator returned.
“A little expensive ah ……”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed in his heart, he remembered that when he exchanged the Sword Nurturing Gourd Spirit Seed of the third grade, it cost him ninety sword seals, and now this Xuan Worm Vine Spirit Seed of the fourth grade, it even required more than two hundred sword seals.
However, he was also clear that the spirit seeds in the sect were already at an internal price, and although he couldn’t bear to part with them, he still honestly took out a sufficient number of sword seals and handed them over to the old farmer cultivator.
“We can only wait for it to mature and open a good light cluster reward.”
The rewards opened from the second-grade Sword Grass, Dark Pith Ganoderma, and Clear Myriad Spirit Tea were already quite good, and the fourth-grade Xuan Worm Vine naturally made Lu Xuan look forward to it even more.
“Senior Brother Lu, hold it carefully.”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s insistence on exchanging the Xuan Worm Vine Spirit Seed, the old farmer cultivator did not dissuade him much and quickly took out an exquisite wooden box from the inner hall.
Lu Xuan opened the wooden box, only to see an egg-sized dried spirit seed inside.
The surface of the Spirit Seed was uneven, and the colors and shapes of the parts were different, like a mixture of many insect eggs, and the rich vitality could be felt inside.
“Many thanks, senior brother.”
Lu Xuan placed the Xuan Worm Vine Spirit Seed into his storage bag and thanked the old farmer cultivator to say goodbye.
Returning to the cave, the spirit crane that had piggybacked on Lu Xuan still excused himself and was adamant that he did not want Lu Xuan to pay the reward, Lu Xuan could not argue and had to give up.
“It looks like those spirit cranes have reached a consensus that they can whore themselves to the end in the future.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but smile as he opened the formation and pushed open the courtyard door after the white mist dispersed.
The Wind Falcon Cub and the Cloud Treading Lynx were still warmly greeted.
Lu Xuan accompanied the two youngsters to play for a while, then went to the spirit field and couldn’t wait to take out the wooden box.
He found a blank area and performed the Earth Drawing Technique, instantly the spirit soil quietly changed and a round hole slightly larger than an egg appeared on the ground.
He took out the Xuan Worm Vine and placed it into the round hole.
Then, controlling the spirit soil, he buried the Xuan Bug Vine Spirit Seed just right inside the spirit soil.
His mind condensed on the Xuan Worm Vine Spirit Seed in the spirit soil.
In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Xuan Bug Vine, Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant, can increase the probability of demonic insects to advance to the Fifth Grade when mature, and can also refine certain specific high-grade elixirs.]
[When cultivated, it is in a symbiotic state with certain bugbears. The bugbear possesses the Xuan Bug Vine and provides it with nutrients for growth, while the Xuan Bug Vine secretes special spiritual substances to promote the growth of the demon bug.]]
[When the demonic insect matures, it breaks free from the vine, and the remains of its carapace remain on the vine, becoming part of the spirit plant.]
“I love bugs the most.
“It seems like there has to be a need to find some demonic insects that can molt, and place the eggs on the Xuan Insect Vine to hatch out, so that they can grow together.”
“There are still more of these types of demonic insects, such as cicadas, praying mantises, locusts, etc., and there are quite a few records of related demonic insects inside the Insect Scriptures.”
“Demon bugs grow together with the Xuan Bug Vine, doesn’t that mean there’s not much need for me to raise the demon bugs? When they grow to maturity they can be directly rewarded with light clusters?”
Lu Xuan had a sudden thought, not realizing that choosing this Xuan Insect Vine had such a special role.
Right now, he didn’t have the corresponding insect eggs on him, so he could only cast the Spirit Rain Technique to maintain the vitality of the Xuan Worm Vine Spirit Seed.
If he wanted to promote growth, he would need to parasitize the insect eggs on the Spirit Seed so that they could grow together.
