Chapter 538 – Nine Headed Dragon Diagram
Chapter 538 – Nine Headed Dragon Diagram
After successively ripening the second-grade Waterfly Grass, the third-grade Jade Dew Fruit, the fourth-grade Filthy Insect Grass, and the fifth-grade Different Longevity Peach, Lu Xuan still had five remaining Nascent Soul Grass beads in his hand.
In the Small Courtyard of the Underworld, the Evil Spiritual Plants that were in their growth period included the Thousand Gnarled Hand, the Blood Spirit Palm involved in the Holy Infant Fruit, of which the Thousand Gnarled Hand was of the third grade, but due to the special nature of the Spiritual Plants, it was necessary to ripen them uniformly, and the rewards from the light clusters that were opened by a single plant might not be as good as they should be.
Of the remaining evil spirit plants, the Yin Weeping Wood, the Five Viscera Treasure Plant, the Fateful Yuan Fruit, the Soul Burning Flower, and the Spectral Spring Flower were all planted not long ago, and some of them had even yet to take root due to the conditions, and the only Nascent Soul Grass Beads were simply unable to fully ripen them.
Lu Xuan planned to seize the time and make another trip to the Crippled Mysterious Realm to see if he could catalyze a fifth-grade Dragon Skeleton Grass.
He left behind a large amount of demonic beast blood, flesh, bones, and souls as nourishment for these Netherworld Spirit Plants in the courtyard for some time in the future, and then, turned on the Illusory Five Elements Formation to seal the small courtyard.
“As long as the sect is still around, there are no evil cultivators, evil sneaks that dare to come to Sword Gate Town to wreak havoc, and with the Illusion Destruction Five Elements Formation, the spirit plants inside are still relatively safe.”
Thinking of this, a trace of worry in Lu Xuan’s heart disappeared.
These were all high-grade spirit plants, and constantly transplanting them would be detrimental to the growth of the spirit plants, and at the same time, they all needed to grow in a pure aura environment, and the growth conditions of each type of spirit plant varied.
They are all evil plants that require flesh, blood, soul and spirit to move, and there must be a lot of fellow disciples, as well as other sect cultivators, so it’s not easy to explain if they’re discovered.
Lu Xuan can only put them in the netherworld courtyard, let them grow freely.
He left Sword Gate Town, restored his original appearance in a remote mountain range, and returned to the sect.
After resting for half a day, he came to where the Sect’s Formation Hall was located, handed over more than ten medium-grade Spirit Stones, and came to the Crippled Mysterious Realm with the help of the Formation Hall’s Teleportation Array.
It hadn’t been long since the last time I entered the secret realm, and the secret realm hadn’t changed very much, with no new fully matured spirit plants appearing.
Lu Xuan had expected this, inspecting the spirit plants in the crippled secret realm, and after taking good care of each one, he came to the deep, bottomless spring that seemed to circulate with the void.
The cold spring water continued to gush out, and an extremely cold cloud of air condensed in the sky, seemingly soaking into the bone marrow.
The spring water was none other than the Third Grade Spectral Spring Spirit Lin, and the three Fifth Grade Dragon Skeleton Grasses that were accidentally obtained from the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake were all raised in the spring.
Under Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense Perception, three slender black grasses that were like swimming dragons extended out from the three huge scaly dragon skeletons, swimming happily around in the cold frigid spring water.
His mind locked onto one of the plants, and the light green light cluster in his dantian rotated faster and faster, as a large amount of green wood source qi surged into the dragon skeleton grass plant.
“Aang~”
As more and more Cyanwood Source Qi was injected, Lu Xuan vaguely saw tiny dust-like scales appearing on the surface of the Dragon Wreckage Grass, densely packed together, and a True Dragon-like aura flowed out from the plant.
A stirring dragon roar sounded, and the slender black grass shot up into the sky, flying out from the depths of the spring, with clouds lingering around it, as if it was riding on clouds.
Lu Xuan’s palm transformed into the color of crystal jade and grabbed the Dragon Skeleton Grass that looked like it was going through the stage of dragon transformation.
Although it wasn’t as thick as his finger, it wasn’t small in strength, twisting and turning in his hand, trying to break free.
With Lu Xuan’s physical strength, he had to use most of his strength in order to firmly grasp the dragon skeleton grass.
His mind coalesced on the slender black grass that bore a slight resemblance to a true dragon, and in an instant, a thought surfaced from his mind.
[Dragon Skeleton Grass, fifth grade spirit plant, spirit seed condensed from the essence of a true dragon’s skeleton, requires auger skeleton, third grade and above spirit liquid to nourish and cultivate it during the growth process].
[After maturing, the spirit plant can be used to assist cultivators in breaking through certain true dragon related techniques, it can also be used to raise auger dragon demonic beasts to enhance their probability of breaking through to the fifth grade.]]
“For true dragon related techniques, I did cultivate a ‘Chapter on Transforming Dragons in Taixu’, but the lower part has never been opened, so there’s no chance of using this Dragon Skeleton Grass.”
“However, when that Departing Flame Jiao in the cave reaches its breakthrough point, it can be fed to it to boost its probability of breaking through to a fifth grade demonic beast.” Lu Xuan thought darkly in his heart, and then his sight was drawn to a white ball of light that quietly surfaced on the surface of the spring’s eye.
The light mass flickered slightly, condensing in the spring water without dispersing, like a round silver-white moon falling into the spring eye.
Lu Xuan reached out and gently touched the surface of the light mass, the light mass silently shattered, countless tiny light points floating on the surface of the spring eye, the water light sparkling, brilliant and eye-catching.
Immediately, the points of light coalesced into a scaly dragon silhouette, and with a vague dragon roar, surged into Lu Xuan’s body.
A thought emerged from his mind.
[Harvested one fifth-grade Dragon Skeleton Grass, and obtained the fifth-grade treasure Nine Headed Dragon Diagram].
The thought flashed by and an ancient mottled drawing appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
Inside the drawing, there were mountains and rivers, and a huge scaly dragon with nine heads was hidden in it. The scaly dragon’s figure was lifelike, leaping off the paper, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to be slowly swimming in the ancient drawing.
Lu Xuan’s mind condensed on this ancient mottled drawing, and immediately, information about the drawing appeared in his mind.
[Nine-Headed Dragon Diagram, Fifth Grade Treasure, the essence of an exotic beast, the Nine-Headed Jiao Dragon, is sealed inside, and by possessing the Dragon Diagram, one can control the Jiao Dragon’s essence, and release it against the enemy, or use it to sacrifice magic treasures.]
“Nine-headed dragon diagram, fifth-grade treasure, not bad at all, after all, you can’t have the luxury of opening a sixth-grade treasure in the mass of light of every fifth-grade spirit plant.”
Lu Xuan’s expression did not change at all as he sighed.
He injected spiritual energy into the ancient diagram, and instantly, the spiritual energy within his dantian was like a dam releasing a flood, madly surging into the ancient diagram.
The scaly dragon silhouette inside became more and more real, and a stirring dragon roar rang out as a hideous nine-headed scaly dragon burrowed out of it, its nine heads ringing out from side to side in a majestic manner.
“Everything else is fine, it’s just that the amount of spiritual energy consumed is just too much, summoning the nine-headed scaly dragon out used up a small half of the spiritual energy within the dantian.”
Lu Xuan experimented a little, the Nine Headed Jiao Dragon Void was as easy to control as his arms, and finally, under the movement of his thoughts, he reentered the mottled ancient diagram.
“The Nascent Soul Grass Beads that have been accumulated for a long time are almost all used up, pity that dedicated Grass Puppet, the reward will have to be delayed for payment.”
“However, using up so many Nascent Soul Grass Beads, ripening a large number of spirit plants, and overdrawing the rewards of the light clusters inside, the harvest is full, and it hasn’t let me down after all.”
A smile surfaced at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth.
In order to deal with the upcoming crisis, he had ripened quite a few Spirit Plants that had already entered the maturity stage, and the Light Cluster Reward was extremely lucrative, causing him to have a few more copies of his bottom card.
“The Fifth Grade Flying Sword Peacock Bright King Sword, the Fifth Grade Artifact Ten Thousand Filths Streamer, and the Fifth Grade Treasure Nine Headed Dragon Diagram, all of them can directly enhance battle power.”
“The Sixth Grade Treasure Taiyang Flesh, enhances the strength of my physical body, as well as my self-healing ability, a double enhancement of defense plus healing.”
“There’s also a large amount of cultivation rewards, as well as the Dust Cleansing Pill, and the Qing Wei Jade Lock.”
“Together with the various high-grade treasures that I had accumulated before, it’s a bit more self-protection in this chaotic world.”
He thought secretly in his heart, not in the slightest bit harboring thoughts of arrogance just because he was carrying all sorts of treasures.
