Chapter 176 – The Peach of Fascination
Chapter 176 – Bewitching Immortal Peach
During this outing, he had only sold the hundred or so Spirit Glow Grasses in his hand, exchanging them for more than four hundred Spirit Stones.
There weren’t a lot of places to spend the spirit stones, buying some daily needed spirit fruits, spirit rice, demonic beast meat, and a few second-hand flying swords used as nutrients for the Sword Nurturing Gourd, in addition to a few auxiliary materials to configure the pre-cultivation potions for the 《Taixu Transformation of Dragon Chapters》.
As he wandered around in Sword Gate Town, there were only a few stalls that had Spirit Seeds for sale, and they were all of the types of varieties that Lu Xuan had already learned about, and when he asked about them, the prices were quite a bit more expensive than if he had exchanged them from the Sect.
As for those Spirit Seeds that the Sect didn’t currently have or were completely unknown, this time, his luck was average and he didn’t find any.
“Perhaps the only bad thing about entering the Sect is that you can’t pick up leaks as easily as you can in the Lin Yang Marketplace.”
“After all, most of the sect disciples are very knowledgeable, and it’s possible that they know all the spirit species that ordinary cultivators don’t recognize.”
“Of course, the probability is even smaller, but once it appears, it means something good, like that fourth-grade Hundred Pupil Guile Wood.”
Lu Xuan sighed and returned to the house.
After realizing that Spirit Plants could improve their varieties, he planned to try improving the Spirit Glow Grass himself.
Although the Spirit Glow Grass was only a classless spiritual plant, Lu Xuan had always retained the habit of planting it due to its ability to enhance his cultivation.
As his cultivation deepened, the other rewards of the Spirit Flowering Grass became more and more ribald, so Lu Xuan planned to experiment to see if he could improve the varieties.
There were still three hundred Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seeds left from his last condensation, and he took out one hundred of them, dividing them evenly into two parts.
These one hundred pieces were to act on the period of the Spirit Seed, inducing changes within the Spirit Seed by altering the storage conditions of the Spirit Seed, thus screening out the benign heterogeneous Spirit Glow Grass.
The remaining two hundred were to stimulate the plant during the growth phase after planting, and to see if they could get a successful mutated Spirit Glow Grass under the special environment for a long period of time.
Due to the last batch of planted Spirit Glow Grass, there were still dozens of plants that had not yet fully matured, so this part of the Spirit Seed had to be slowed down for a while, waiting for the Spirit Glow Grass to be fully matured before starting the experiment.
Of the one hundred Spirit Seeds, fifty were put into the chilly spring water in the cave, and the other fifty were put in a white jade box and placed into the Dan furnace, gently baking them with the weakest of flames.
Changing the environment of the five elements was the most common way to induce a change in the spirit seeds.
Other things such as providing an aura environment of a special nature, spiritual soil and various complex cultivation conditions, Lu Xuan was currently incapable of doing so.
The cave in the Heavenly Sword Sect, although the spiritual qi was pure and rich, it was neutral and peaceful in nature, without any special features. As for the spiritual soil, it was also an ordinary and common type, suitable for the growth of most spiritual plants, especially low-grade spiritual plants.
After starting to induce the Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed, Lu Xuan stopped paying attention to it.
For the next few days, he remained busy.
Due to the outstanding results of the examination, coupled with the fair price, his reputation was soon known by the cultivators of the other waters of the Thousand Dragon Lake, who contacted Lu Xuan through Huang Yuan, asking him to come out and draw blood to examine the Jiao Dragon Pythons under his command.
Being able to obtain the scaly dragon’s essence blood and having spirit stones to earn, Lu Xuan was naturally happy to do so.
“Finally busy, I didn’t realize that the Thousand Dragon Lake was keeping such a large number of Jiao Dragon Pythons and other demonic beasts.”
Lu Xuan shook off his somewhat sore arms and said to Huang Yuan with half surprise and half emotion.
The jiao dragons pythons and the like that he had drawn blood from in the past few days, even if there weren’t a thousand of them, it probably wasn’t too far off.
Even if all of them were of the first and second grade, with such a large number, it was evident that the Heavenly Sword Sect’s depth was deep.
“It’s been a hard time for Senior Brother Lu, almost checking for the entire Thousand Dragon Lake’s Jiao Dragon Pythons, all of you senior brothers and sisters will remember this friendship.”
Huang Yuan said with a smile, these few days he was only responsible for leading the way to introduce, and didn’t get any payment, but invariably he also gained quite a lot, solving the problem of the Hidden Scale Fish of the Thousand Dragon Lake, and leaving a very good impression in the eyes of many of his fellow disciples.
“I have to thank senior brother Huang for helping to introduce, senior brother why don’t you go to my small courtyard and have a few drinks? There is still spiritual wine and fruits at home.”
Lu Xuan invited to Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan was naturally happy to further deepen his friendship with Lu Xuan, and hurriedly agreed.
The two of them drank and chatted for a long time.
After Huang Yuan left, Lu Xuan closed the courtyard door, opened the formation, and staggered into the house with a little bit of intoxication.
“I said why does walking feel a bit heavy? It turns out that it’s the spirit stones that are weighing it down ah……”
A small mountain of spirit stones appeared on the ground, spirit light surging and dazzling. This time, with the Thousand Dragon Lake Hidden Scale Fish issue, due to the difference in information, he had gained a great deal.
Just the spirit stones alone, there were more than two thousand of them, making the body now unprecedentedly strong, with a total of more than four thousand spirit stones on his body.
In addition, there were close to a thousand jiao dragon pythons that brought in their essence blood, and in the end, he had to keep large capacity containers in his storage bag to hold the essence blood of jiao dragon pythons of the same species.
In this way, he was able to avoid the embarrassing situation of not having a place to put the blood after it was drawn.
“With this much essence blood, if there were enough materials, it could be a whole potion spa for cultivation.”
Lu Xuan thought with some extravagance.
Having suddenly become rich, his mindset was naturally different, and all that filled his mind now was buying buying buying buying.
As soon as he thought of it, the next day, after cultivating the Spiritual Fields and Spiritual Plants, he came to the Si Nong Hall.
“Senior Brother Lu, haven’t seen you in a while!”
The old farming cultivator who had been there a few times saw Lu Xuan and greeted him warmly, spiritual tea and fruits were immediately served, and there was a bit of bashfulness between his words and actions.
It was no wonder that he was like this, although Lu Xuan’s cultivation was average, in his eyes, he did have an unlimited future.
In the spirit of planting together has extremely horrible talent, practicing qi realm, has already tried to plant several kinds of third-grade spirit plants.
Cultivating spiritual plants is a small way, but once you do it to the extreme, it is not much different from other things such as alchemy and weaponry.
With Lu Xuan’s talent in the path of spirit plants, it might be possible for him to become his top boss years later.
What’s more, Lu Xuan had already been favored by the Master of the Temple of Sinnon, personally gifting him with two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, with a tendency to cultivate him to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect’s core circle of Spiritual Planters.
“Senior brother, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Should be should be, by the way, Senior Brother Lu, how is the cultivation of the Sword Grass Spirit Seed that the Palace Master gifted you earlier? The growth is still going well, right?”
“Everything is as usual, and the growth state is probably a little better than the swordgrass at the very beginning.”
Lu Xuan compared the difference between the before and after swordgrass and said modestly.
“In those days, Your Highness was constantly pining for those two swordgrasses!” The old farming cultivator rubbed his hands together and smiled as wrinkles piled up on his face.
“Senior brother, I came over this time because I want to exchange for a few spirit plants, it’s best to be able to exchange them with spirit stones, and for varieties, spirit fruits are the main ones, and the grade is best to be no lower than second grade.”
Lu Xuan went straight to the point.
He now had the idea of growing Second Grade Spirit Plants on a large scale, of which, he preferred the Spirit Fruit type.
For one, the Spirit Fruit type usually produced a certain number of Spirit Fruits, unlike most other Spirit Plants, which were dominated by single fruits and plants, so that they could bloom out into more clusters of light.
The second was that the cultivated spirit fruits could better help one hold onto the thighs of the Xuan Tian White Luan as well as its companions.
As for the grade, there was no need to say that a first-grade spirit plant was basically a chicken rib-like existence for him.
“Spirit stones can be exchanged for spirit plants that are no lower than second grade, and prioritize spirit fruit type spirit plants ……”
The old farming cultivator lowered his head and pondered for a while, flipping open a jade book.
“There aren’t a lot of spirit species that spirit stones can be exchanged for, there’s one type of spirit fruit if I remember in the third grade, but it seems that the cultivation conditions are somewhat special.”
“That’s it, the third grade Mystic Immortal Peach.”
The jade book in the cultivator’s hand turned to a page and said towards Lu Xuan.
A delicate peach tree was presented in front of Lu Xuan’s eyes.
The peach leaves were pink, the trunk was pink-white, and there was a faint red mist around the tree, with ten red peaches looming, very seductive.
