Chapter 480 – Restricted, but not as if it were restricted

Chapter 480 – Restricted, Yet Seemingly Unrestricted
Lu Xuan directly put on this Fifth Grade Clear May Feather Cloth, replacing his previous Hidden Spirit Cloak.

He looked at the Hidden Yuan Grass that was thriving in the Spirit Field, as well as the Jade Dew Fruit that had just revealed its tiny buds, and decided to make a trip to the Dan Palace to get his hands on the Condensation Seeding Method for the two Spirit Plants.

If he obtained the Foundation Establishment Dan formula from the Dan Palace, he would not have to hide it too much when refining the Foundation Establishment Dan in the future.

The Hidden Yuan Grass and Jade Dew Fruit were the main materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Dan, but the ones in the spiritual field were entrusted to him by the Dan Palace to cultivate, so it was not a good idea to use them without authorization.

Although it was possible to buy the alchemy materials from the Dan Palace at a low price, the portion of materials that could be purchased was limited, and the price was higher than if he had cultivated them himself.

After getting the method of condensing the seeds of the two spiritual plants, he could expand the production and refine a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills.

He called the fat bird over, letting it carry him, and arrived at the Si Nong Hall.

“Master Lu.”

As he passed through the outer hall of the Szinong Hall, a familiar voice came out.

A cultivator with a simple appearance, like an old farmer, looked at himself.

“Fellow Daoist Xia.”

The cultivator was none other than Xia Chen, Lu Xuan had dealt with him quite a bit when he was still an Outer Sect Disciple, exchanging quite a few 2nd to 4th Grade Spirit Seeds from his hands.

“I see that your qi and blood are not too stable, did something happen to you?”

Lu Xuan saw that there wasn’t much blood color on Xia Chen’s tanned face, and with a casual sweep of his eyesight, which had been greatly enhanced by the cultivation of the Delusion Breaking Pupil Technique, he could tell at a glance that the old farming cultivator wasn’t in a very good state at the moment.

“I tried to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm a while ago, but unfortunately failed.”

A glimmer of gloom flashed across the old farming cultivator’s eyes.

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but pause at his words.

“Breaking through to the base of the building is not an easy task, if you can’t do it once then you can do it again.”

“Recuperate well, adjust your spiritual energy, physical body, and divine soul to the best state and try again.”

He encouraged Xia Chen with a few words and then entered the inner hall.

The old farmer cultivator looked at Lu Xuan’s figure disappearing with mixed feelings in his heart.

He had an extremely deep impression of Lu Xuan, back when he was still just an outer disciple, Lu Xuan had already begun to cultivate the third grade Sword Nurturing Gourd, and even the fourth grade Xuan Worm Vine.

He remembered that at that time he was even weaker than his own cultivation, but did not expect, so many years later, he still did not succeed in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, while Lu Xuan already has a cultivation of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, but also with a superb level of spiritual planting, in the Heavenly Sword Sect to break into a hefty reputation.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t make good friends with my senior uncle at the beginning, or else with some old feelings, I might be able to let my senior uncle help me out.”

A trace of chagrin flashed through his heart.

……

Lu Xuan entered the inner hall and came in front of an ordinary looking young cultivator with an introverted and calm temperament.

“Senior Brother Zhang, long time no see.”

The youth looked up to see Lu Xuan, an eager smile on his face.

“So it’s Senior Brother Lu, coming over to shop for Spirit Seeds again?”

The youth’s name was Zhang Ce, and Lu Xuan had met him several times when he entered the inner hall of the Si Nong Hall, and was considered a nodding acquaintance.

“This time, I came over mainly because I wanted to exchange two kinds of Seed Condensation Methods, and incidentally exchange some corresponding Spirit Seeds.”

“Oh? I don’t know which type of spirit plant’s seed condensation method senior brother wants to exchange?”

The youth asked curiously.

“Third-grade Hidden Yuan Grass and Jade Dew Fruit.”

“I remember that when I break through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, I can obtain a free method of condensing a third-grade spirit seed at the middle stage, I exchanged the Sword Nurturing Gourd once before, so I wonder if I can obtain one of the methods of condensing a seed for free?”

Lu Xuan handed over his identity nameplate.

Zhang Ce took the identity nameplate and his Spiritual Sense seeped into it.

“Indeed, it is possible to exchange it for one of them, so Senior Brother Lu can make his own choice.” “Then choose the one that requires more sword seals.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile, although he had a large few thousand sword seals on his body, he still saved what he could.

“The Hidden Yuan Grass Condensing Seed Method requires seven hundred sword seals, and the Jade Dew Fruit requires seven hundred and fifty sword seals, so let’s go with the Jade Dew Fruit?”

The youth asked Lu Xuan.

“OK.”

Lu Xuan nodded.

The value of the Third Grade Seed Condensation Method had exceeded the Fourth Grade Spirit Seed by quite a bit, but it was understandable, after all, the Spirit Seed was only a consumable, while the Seed Condensation Method could obtain the Spirit Seed for a long time.

“Also I need some Hidden Yuan Grass Spirit Seeds and Jade Dew Fruit Spirit Seeds, I wonder what the price is?”

Zhang Ce paused and said to Lu Xuan:
“One seventy sword seals for the Hidden Yuan Grass Spirit Seed and one seventy-five sword seals for the Jade Dew Fruit Spirit Seed.”

“However, these two types of Spirit Plants are special, they are the main materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, and they belong to the controlled category, when Spirit Plants Masters in the clan exchange for Spirit Seeds, each person is not allowed to have more than three of each type within a certain time period.”

“Really?”

Lu Xuan was a little surprised, but he immediately understood the reason for this.

Exchanging three Spirit Seeds within a certain period of time could largely avoid the massive loss of Foundation Establishment Pills to the outside world.

Even if one of the inner disciples of the clan had acquired both the Foundation Establishment Pill formula and the corresponding Spirit Plant Seed Condensation Method, it would not be easy to produce Foundation Establishment Pills on a large scale.

For a third-grade spiritual plant, there are usually only a few seeds that can be condensed, and after three or four years, even if all of them are used to condense the seeds, there will only be a dozen or so.

Even if the seeds were repeated several times, the number of materials obtained would still be extremely limited.

In addition, the difficulty of refining the Foundation Establishment Dan was extremely high, and most alchemists had a low rate of success, so if the loss of materials during refining was considered, the number of Foundation Establishment Dan obtained would be even less.

Unless that cultivator possessed an extremely strong level of cultivating spiritual plants, maximizing the number of spiritual seeds obtained each time he condensed seeds, and also had a good level of alchemy, it was possible to obtain a lot of Foundation Establishment Dan in a short period of time.

“Mister Lu happens to fulfill these two conditions.”

A smile, if any, surfaced at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth.

He was able to be informed of the detailed state of the Spirit Plant, and not only did he have a hundred percent success rate when condensing the seed, but he was also able to obtain as much of the Spirit Seed as possible at the same time.

In addition, after absorbing the Dan Formula Experience Pack, although he hadn’t tried to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill yet, he already had a decent success rate.

If he absorbed a few more Dan formula experience packs from the light cluster during the process of obtaining materials, the success rate would be even more impressive.

Therefore, these conditions did not have much limiting power for him.

Restricted and as if they weren’t.

“Then, I will trouble Senior Brother Zhang to fetch the two condensed seed methods of the Hidden Yuan Grass and the Jade Dew Fruit, as well as three Spirit Seeds each.”

Lu Xuan smiled and said to Zhang Ce.

“Senior Brother Lu wait a moment.”

A few moments later, Zhang Ce walked out from inside the Hall of Si Nong and handed Lu Xuan two dark green jade slips as well as six Spirit Seeds.

“A total of one thousand one hundred and thirty-five Sword Seals, please have a look at them, Senior Brother Zhang.”

Lu Xuan flicked his one hand and a small pile of sword seals floated in front of the youth.

The youth swept through with his spiritual sense and nodded to Lu Xuan after confirming it.

“No problem.”

Seeing this, Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Awareness went slightly deeper into the jade slip, confirming that it was the method of condensing seeds before leaving satisfied.

“Unfortunately, it’s not good to display the late Foundation Establishment realm right now, or else with the clan benefits of breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, I could still whore out the Seed Condensation Method of a third-grade Spirit Plant for nothing, and save another seven hundred Sword Seals.”

He sat on the back of the fat bird, and the various or beautiful or treacherous peaks underneath swept by one by one.
