Chapter 165 – Burning Yuan Wood
Chapter 165 – Burning Yuan Wood
“This is the place.”
Before long, the gentle female cultivator led Lu Xuan and the two of them to a spiritual field.
The field was surrounded by a tight fence, and when the female cultivator approached, the fence automatically parted, leaving a narrow passageway.
In the field, there were dozens of spiritual plants.
Spirit plant wrist thickness, about half a person high, body light red, tree body has many dark red lines, as if the whole spirit wood split into many scars.
“This is the spirit wood that I want my senior nephew to cultivate on my behalf, named Burning Yuan Wood, a second grade spirit plant with natural lines, the bark and leaves are all excellent materials for refining fire talismans.”
The gentle female cultivator introduced Lu Xuan.
“These are spirit plants that were birthed after the stimulation of the spirit seeds?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“Not bad, there are thirty-six plants in total, among them, there are some Spirit Seeds that directly became waste seeds and failed to breed Spirit Plants after planting.”
“A batch of spirit seeds were eliminated during the stimulation stage, and another batch of spirit plants were eliminated when they were conceived, the failure rate is too high.”
“No wonder we haven’t heard any information about spirit plant quality improvement at all in the Lin Yang Square Market, only clans with deep roots would have such a large amount of money.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed in his heart.
The gentle female cultivator’s words were tantamount to pouring cold water on his head, causing his just-born thoughts of making a big splash to cool down quite a bit.
“Currently, the only thing that is most suitable for improving the varieties of spirit plants is the Spirit Glow Grass, after all, it’s only a classless spirit plant, and he himself has mastered the method of spirit seed condensation, so he doesn’t have to worry about the source of the spirit seeds.”
“What’s more, Spirit Glow Grass also involves one’s own cultivation, so I’m going to try it out if I have the chance.”
He decided silently in his heart while observing the growth of the Burning Yuan Wood along with the gentle female cultivator.
“For the next period of time, I’m going to trouble you, Senior Nephew, to take care of cultivating these Burning Yuan Woods for me.”
After walking through the spirit field, the Wen Wan female cultivator softly said towards Lu Xuan.
“As for the remuneration, it should not disappoint you, Senior Nephew Lu.”
“Senior uncle is polite, senior nephew will definitely treat these Burning Yuan Woods like cultivating his own spiritual plants.”
Lu Xuan hurriedly stated.
“Then I am relieved.” The gentle female cultivator guffawed, and the flowery scent that was vaguely present on her body intensified by a few points.
“By the way, Senior Uncle, I have an unrequested request, I wonder if there is any normal Burning Yuan Wood inside Senior Uncle’s spiritual field that is planted at a time close to that of these variant spirit trees?
If there is, I would like to get some over and do a comparison between the two, to see how each would perform in terms of growth under the same cultivation conditions.”
“Planted at about the same time …… are some, how many does senior nephew need?”
The gentle female cultivator’s eyes lit up, seemingly impressed by Lu Xuan’s offer, and said to him.
“Ten plants will be enough.”
“Yes, I’ll immediately order someone to transplant ten Ordinary Burning Yuan Woods over.”
The gentle female cultivator left with Yao Qing, and Lu Xuan stayed in the spirit field, which had simply constructed wooden houses nearby for cultivators to practice and rest.
Lu Xuan cultivated for a while, and in less than an hour, a cultivator came over with ten ordinary Burning Yuan Woods, and the two of them worked together to plant them in the spirit field.
After the cultivator left, Lu Xuan kept an eye on the surrounding area and realized that there was a fence formation covering each spiritual field, so they could not see each other deeply, which made him feel relieved. He pretended to circle around each Burning Yuan Wood, casting a round of Spirit Rain Technique and Wood Born Technique on a wide scale.
Spiritual rain art to promote spiritual plant spiritual energy absorption, wood born art can accelerate the growth and development of spiritual plants, two kinds of magic for the vast majority of spiritual plants are beneficial and harmless, casting a round will not make any mistakes.
On the second day, Lu Xuan came to the spirit field early in the morning.
The things that the Foundation Establishment Master had instructed him to do, naturally, he had to be more attentive.
He realized that in the past six months since he had entered the sect, his ability to cultivate spirit plants and raise spirit beasts had become more and more valued.
In the past, the Master of the Hall of Sinnon Hall had left two Sword Grasses for himself and promised to make himself an inner disciple after successfully cultivating them.
Then, under Huang Yuan’s introduction, he had successfully helped the middle-aged Confucian scholar in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to solve the anorexia problem of the Ink Scale Jiao under his command, and now he had been introduced by Yao Qing to cultivate the Variant Spiritual Plants on his behalf.
He was naturally happy about this change, the stronger the cultivators he came into contact with, the easier it would be for him to obtain high grade spirit plants or spirit beast hatchlings etc., and naturally, he would also be rewarded with more generous light clusters.
When he planted the ten Burning Yuan Woods transplanted over with the cultivators yesterday, he was already clear about the information related to the Burning Yuan Woods.
The cultivation method was somewhat similar to that of the Red Cloud Pine planted before, both of which required fire spiritual energy to warm and nourish them, only that the amount was quite a bit larger than that of the Red Cloud Pine.
Lu Xuan came to a variant of Burning Yuan Wood and spread his spiritual sense into the spiritual soil, performing the Earth Drawing Technique, pulling the spiritual soil to change, slowly gathering together those tiny roots hidden in the depths of the spiritual soil, and then wrapping all the roots in a large mass of spiritual soil, transplanting them out and replanting them.
The reason for this redundancy was naturally to detect the true condition of each and every variegated spirit plant.
Under the guidance of the Dacheng realm’s Earth Drawing Art, the rhizomes were not damaged in the slightest, giving the spirit plants a sense of dismay that they had come out and had not come out at the same time.
As the Burning Yuan Wood was replanted, a message flashed through his mind.
[Burning Yuan Wood (Remnant), second grade spirit plant, can be used to draw second grade fire talismans after maturity, due to the damage to the spirit seed, it makes the maturation cycle of the spirit plant longer, and it is difficult to obtain high quality materials after maturity].
“There’s some difference from the ordinary Burning Yuan Wood information I saw yesterday, it should have acted in reverse when stimulating the spirit seed.”
Lu Xuan judged, recording this remnant Burning Yuan Wood.
Next, he took it out as he had done, and planted a second Burning Yuan Wood.
The information obtained was no different from the ordinary Burning Yuan Wood.
The third plant, remained the same as the ordinary Burning Yuan Wood.
For the fourth strain, new information appeared in his mind.
【Burning Yuan Wood (Different), Second Grade Spiritual Plant, comes with its own natural lines, the bark and leaves of the tree after maturity is an excellent material for drawing Second Grade Fire Talismans, the spirit seed produces a mutation, causing the quality of the spiritual plant to increase slightly after maturity】.
“It’s mutated, but not completely? Ah but it’s not bad to be able to raise the quality of the spirit plant, high quality materials can slightly increase the success rate of drawing talismans.”
Lu Xuan continued down the list, sensing the detailed information of each Burning Yuan Wood.
The information that appeared categorized these Burning Yuan Woods into three types, Remnant, Ordinary, and Fae, all the way down to the fourteenth plant, where he finally saw a Burning Yuan Wood with different information.
【Burning Yuan Wood, Third Grade Spiritual Plant, rich in fire spiritual energy, with arcane natural patterns, a superior material for drawing Third Grade Fire Talismans】.
“It’s not easy, finally seeing an improved and successful Third Grade Burning Yuan Wood.”
Lu Xuan could not help but reveal a trace of a pleased smile.
The success rate of spirit plant variety improvement had shocked him a little, twelve plants before one Third Grade Burning Yuan Wood appeared, and if it was considered an eliminated spirit species that did not produce a spirit plant, the probability was somewhat frighteningly low.
