Chapter 189 – Earth Fire Heart Lotus, Moon Lin Grass
Chapter 189 – Earth Fire Heart Lotus Moon Lin Grass
“Tough luck.”
Lu Xuan jumped down from the back of a tall spirit crane, took out a red spirit fruit and stuffed it into its mouth.
The Spirit Crane gently pecked at his palm, its head with long white plumes groped affectionately for a few times, and with a crisp chirp, it rushed into the clouds.
Lu Xuan traveled lightly and entered the main hall of the Si Nong Hall.
He arrived in front of his acquaintance, Old Farmer Cultivator, and said with a smile:
“Fellow Daoist Xia, I haven’t seen you for a while, so I’ve come over to exchange Spirit Seeds again.”
The old farming cultivator raised his head, wrinkles piling up tightly on his face as he glanced at Lu Xuan, instantly noticing the change in Lu Xuan’s aura.
His Spiritual Sense carefully and cautiously swept through, his face changed drastically, and he bowed his head and respectfully said.
“Uncle Lu, you’re here, what do you need from Master Nephew?”
“Fellow Daoist Xia doesn’t need to be so formal.
I came over this time because I want to receive the cultivation resources after I was promoted to Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Xuan said mildly, he was a bit helpless about the reaction of his acquaintances in the past after seeing him, it seemed that they were much rustier all of a sudden, but it was still understandable, after all, the cultivation world was characterized by strength, and there were strict hierarchies, and once one breaks through to a new realm, it would be impossible to go back to the old days like that.
“Reporting back to senior uncle, if you apply for the free spirit seed or condensation method for the Foundation Establishment stage, you need to enter the middle of the inner hall and register to obtain it with your identity nameplate.”
The old farming cultivator explained to Lu Xuan.
“Then please ask Fellow Daoist Xia to take me to the middle of the inner hall.”
The old farmer cultivator nodded heavily and led Lu Xuan into the middle of the side door.
“Uncle Lu, in front is the inner hall, it is not convenient for Qi Practicing disciples to enter, I can only send Uncle Lu here.”
“Many thanks, fellow Daoist Xia.”
Lu Xuan gave a thank you and walked to the entrance of the inner hall.
There was a forbidden system arranged at the doorway, and he took out his identity nameplate, shook it, and then entered it.
The old farmer cultivator looked at Lu Xuan’s figure disappearing, his face changing as he let out a light sigh in his heart.
The inner hall looked very ordinary from the outside, but after entering it, it had its own dry world, inside the wide hall, there was a layer of high-grade demonic beasts’ skins tanned into a carpet, there were ten or so potted plants of compelling spiritual qi, the tables and chairs seemed to be made of several kinds of spiritual wood, with natural arcane patterns on them, and everything seemed to be simple but luxurious.
In the large inner hall, there were only two pre Foundation Establishment cultivators on guard, no one entered it except Lu Xuan, it was quieter than the outer hall.
“This position, looks quite suitable for touching fish ah ……”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed in his heart as he arrived in front of one of the young cultivators.
The young cultivator had an ordinary appearance, his temperament was introverted and calm, and when he saw Lu Xuan coming over, he hurriedly got up to welcome him.
“Taoist Friendship, under Zhang Ce, Taoist Friendship is somewhat unfamiliar, is it your first time coming over to the Inner Hall?”
“Good day senior brother Zhang, my name is Lu Xuan, it is indeed the first time I have entered the inner hall.”
Lu Xuan returned the salute.
The two of them chatted for a few moments, and Lu Xuan showed him the purpose of his visit.
“Senior Brother Zhang, I just broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm not long ago, and I learned that after becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, I can obtain a certain amount of cultivation resources from within the Sect, and because I have a great interest in Spiritual Plants, I have come to the Hall of Si Nong.”
“Indeed, according to the sect’s rules, in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, one can obtain a seedling or spirit seed of a fourth-grade spirit plant, three third-grade spirit plants, and ten second-grade spirit plants, with the categories within the sect’s regulations.”
“In addition, one can also choose several types of Spirit Seed Condensation Methods, but due to the reason that Condensation Methods are much more precious than Spirit Seeds and Seedlings, one can only choose one third grade as well as three second grade Spirit Seed Condensation Methods.”
“This is the welfare of an inner disciple ah ……” Lu Xuan was so moved inwardly that he cried bitterly, a fourth grade spirit seed, a third grade spirit seed’s condensation method, how many spirit stone sword seals does this have to be exchanged for ah ……
Seeing his silence, the young cultivator continued:
“If Senior Martial Brother Lu breaks through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he will also be able to obtain the same number of Spirit Seeds as well as the Spirit Seed Condensation Method, and so on, and the same goes for the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
Hiss ……
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but suck in a mouthful of cold air, the sense of belonging to the sect in his heart all of a sudden reaching an unprecedented intensity.
He tried to calm his thoughts down and asked the young cultivator.
“Senior Brother Zhang Ce, I have another question, will resources like these be effective in other cultivation techniques as well?”
“It’s usually limited to only one of the categories, so Senior Brother Lu can refer to it more and choose his preferred cultivation resources.”
“For example, on the alchemy side, Senior Brother can choose from several types of dan formulas, some rare alchemy elixirs, and the overall value is about the same as on the spirit plant side.”
“The vast majority of fellow disciples only specialize in one type of cultivation skill, so they usually choose the corresponding cultivation resources, and slowly, this developed into an unwritten rule.
If Senior Brother wants to combine resources from both the Spirit Plant or Alchemy side, it’s not impossible, it would just be a lot more troublesome.”
Lu Xuan nodded in understanding.
If all aspects such as alchemy, formations, talismans, puppet making and parasite raising were all provided to Foundation Establishment cultivators with the same resources, it would be strange for the sect not to go bankrupt.
“Senior Brother Zhang, I’m a person who is obsessed with spiritual plants and my mind is made up, I won’t consider other categories of resources, so please introduce me to the spiritual plant situation.”
“The spirit species that can be applied for are all here, just choose on your own, senior brother.”
Zhang Ce took out a thick jade book, on top of the jade book, there were hundreds of spirit plants recorded, the number of second grade spirit plants was the most fourth grade was the least, and there were quite a few restrictions on the categories.
The second grade sword grass that Lu Xuan had planted on the mountain peak, as well as the sword peacock that the female cultivator he had seen in the secret realm before had taken out, would not be among them.
Lu Xuan kept flipping through and comparing them, slowly making his decision.
“Senior Brother Zhang, I would like to apply for a fourth grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus Spirit Seed.”
He pointed at a slowly rotating fiery red lotus and said to the young cultivator.
The lotus rhizome was light red in color with dense and fine lines, and at first glance, one would think that the rhizome was coalesced from countless irregular light red crystals.
The leaves were fiery red, with fiery red magma flowing vaguely between the veins.
After making a fortune from the Thousand Dragon Lake last time, Lu Xuan had considered this Earth Fire Heart Lotus Spirit Seed, but due to being unable to fulfill the condition of being planted in scorching hot magma, he ended up choosing the Xuan Worm Vine, which was also of the fourth grade.
Now, there was a magma river inside the mountain peak where it was located, and the conditions were sufficient for planting this Fourth Grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus.
“It’s possible.”
The young cultivator glanced at the jade book, saw that on the jade book, the pattern of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus was lit up, determined that there was a ready-made spirit seed, and nodded.
“If the third grade spirit seed is …… available, I’ll choose the same spirit seed, Moon Lin Grass.”
Lu Xuan flipped through the jade album and pointed to one of the lit patterns and said.
A Spirit Grass quietly displayed itself, the Spirit Grass was silver-white in color, as if there was a layer of shallow moonlight pouring over it, exuding a hazy feeling.
The note underneath the Spirit Grass said that the matured Moon Lin Grass was extremely suitable for raising demonic beasts, and could accelerate their growth, which made Lu Xuan’s heart flutter.
Planting out the Moon Lin Grass itself could obtain Light Corps rewards, and if it was used to raise demonic beasts, it could better hold on to that Xuan Tian White Luan’s thighs, and could also speed up obtaining Light Corps for the other demonic beasts that were being raised.
It could be said to be a one-two punch.
