Chapter 235 – Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman
Under the stimulation of the earth fire, the phoenix pattern on the charred wood became a little brighter, and there was a spiritual light surging through the dark golden slender cracks.
On the pattern, the wings with light golden lines changed slightly, causing the river of earth fire below to surge violently, and a hot fire spirit aura rushed to the bottom of the charred wood.
“The fire spirit breath is still not enough.”
Lu Xuan muttered in a low voice as he looked at the dark golden shadow on the Phoenix Wood.
He had brought this Sixth Grade Ancient Spiritual Plant Phoenix Wood into the Earth Fire Tributary because he wanted to try and see if he could successfully cultivate the Phoenix Wood under the stimulation of the Earth Fire.
Unfortunately, the phoenix silhouette struggled to even break out of the scorched wood, let alone soar to the nine heavens.
“It seems that we can only go and look for some high-grade foreign fires to cultivate and nourish the growth of the Phoenix Wood.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed as he executed the Earth Drawing Technique, and a depression quietly appeared on the stone wall near the sky above the Earth Fire Tributary.
He carefully placed the scorched wood in the small depression, intending to use the fire spirit here to retain more of the scorched wood spirituality.
Even if he could not promote its growth, as long as he could maintain the Phoenix Wood’s vitality, Lu Xuan would be satisfied.
After disposing of the proceeds from the Lang Yue Blessed Land, Lu Xuan then had the time to take a good look at the growth of the mountain peak’s spiritual plants.
After not returning to the cave for a while, the spiritual plants planted everywhere had changed greatly.
The sixteen second-grade Water Glow Grasses that were left behind to condense seeds before, each had several blue seeds condensing on the tips of their slender leaves.
The seeds were like the surface of a crystal clear lake, the surface exuded a slight chill, and as the spiritual sense penetrated into them, one could feel the rich water spirit flavor inside.
Waterfly Grass that has long been mature for a period of time has become dry, and the top of the condensed out of the spirit seed has a stark contrast, as if the whole body essence within the plant has been integrated into the seed.
Lu Xuan spiritual power operation, spiritual seed above immediately condensed a thin layer of frost, inside the vitality seems to freeze in general.
He carefully picked it off and placed it into a specially made jade box.
Next, as long as it was treated in a special way and stored for a period of time, it could be put into cultivation.
The number of Spirit Seeds condensed out of the second grade Water Glow Grass was nearly half as low as that of the no-grade Spirit Glow Grass, and the sixteen Water Glow Grasses ended up condensing out eighty-five Spirit Seeds.
However, Lu Xuan was already quite satisfied, after all, the cultivation reward brought by the Water Fluorescent Grass was ten times that of the Spirit Fluorescent Grass, and these eighty-five plants, even if only some of the light clusters blossomed out into cultivation, it would still benefit him greatly.
“Eighty-five Second Grade Waterfly Grasses, a small portion of them will continue to condense Spirit Seeds, and the other portion is estimated to bring me at least twenty to thirty years of cultivation rewards.”
“I really want to progress too much.”
Lu Xuan heartily lamented.
Without the cultivation rewards brought about by the light mass, his cultivation progress could be completely described as tortoise-like, and with his ordinary qualifications, he didn’t know how long it would take for him to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
As for the previously mutated Fire Spirit Seed, due to the high rate of Spirit Seed depreciation and the fact that he had already obtained the second-grade Water Glow Grass, Lu Xuan had no choice but to give up and focus on the Water Glow Grass.
After dealing with the Water Glow Grass Condensed Seed issue, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the Spirit Field.
“Little Grass, come here!”
When he passed by a spiritual field, he saw the Grass Puppet that was tirelessly patrolling, and summoned it over.
After the Grass Puppet had been promoted to the second grade, and had been subjected to Lu Xuan’s repeated use of Greenwood Source Qi to promote its growth and changes, its spirituality had increased quite a bit.
Hearing this, it looked up at Lu Xuan and topped its huge head made of twisted gray grass, taking slender steps as it flew away.
A wisp of pale green aura surged into the grass puppet’s chest, the area in its center instantly became emerald green, and the emerald green aura continued to spread in all directions, and finally, within a few breaths, it turned into a green grass man with a big head and a small body.
After coloring the grass puppet green, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the Spirit Field.
“Another Jade Scale Fruit has ripened!” When he arrived at the area where the Jade Scale Fruit was planted, his Spiritual Awareness swept through and he could tell at a glance how the spirit plant was growing.
After picking two of them earlier, there were still six left in total, and this time when he came back, under his spiritual sense, he quickly found out that there were two Jade Scale Fruits that had entered the full maturity stage.
He held his breath, his palm transformed into a glazed finger bone, carefully holding the Jade Scale Fruit, pulling it off from the thin jade-like leaves.
The jade scale fruit in his hand exudes a jade cool breath, the surface of the jade skin scales, like fish scales like layers and layers, revealing the center of the crystal clear spirit fruit.
“Good quality, not bad at all.”
As Lu Xuan lamented, a thought flashed by under his mind’s cohesion.
[Jade Scale Fruit, Third Grade Spiritual Plant, after taking it, it can enhance the strength of a cultivator’s or demonic beast’s physical body, and it can also be used to refine certain body refining pills.]
Lu Xuan sighed with emotion while reaching out with anticipation to the white ball of light that had surfaced.
The light mass flickered faintly at the location where the Jade Scale Fruit was picked, hidden in the thin jade leaves, faintly visible.
The moment he reached out and touched the light mass, it transformed into countless points of light that surged into Lu Xuan’s body.
[Harvested one Third Grade Jade Scale Fruit, obtained Fourth Grade Spirit Mine Red Dipper Jade.]
A piece of ore the size of a baby’s head appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand, reddish in color, its surface pitted and uneven, and a chalcedony-like substance could be vaguely seen slowly flowing inside.
This Red Dipper Jade was a Fourth Grade Spirit Ore, which contained a large amount of jade essence that could be used to refine flying swords and magic weapons.
“Although I already obtained a piece of Red Dipper Jade last time, however, a fourth-grade spirit ore, naturally, more is better.”
Lu Xuan muttered and focused his attention on another fully ripe Jade Scale Fruit.
“A top-grade quality Jade Scale Fruit.”
The previous three Jade Scale Fruits were all of good quality, bringing with them a third-grade artifact, the Sealing Yue Jade Seal, and two pieces of fourth-grade Spirit Ore, the Red Gang Jade, which was a generous reward.
Therefore, this superior quality Jade Scale Fruit naturally caused Lu Xuan to have a few extra points of anticipation.
Not minding the Jade Scale Fruit in his hand, he quickly put it into his storage pouch.
Immediately afterward, looking at the white ball of light hanging high between the leaves of the Jade Slice Tree, he gently leapt up and grabbed it.
The moment he touched the light mass, it transformed into countless points of light, following his shoulder and surging into his body.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested a third-grade Jade Scale Fruit and obtained a fourth-grade treasure, the Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman.]
A piece of delicate jade talisman appeared in his hand, it was about three inches long and one inch wide, its body was crystal clear, and one could vaguely see white spiritual energy as thin as hair swimming inside.
Holding it in his hand, there was a sense of coolness, as if it could drive away all the evil thoughts and agitation in his heart.
With his mind condensed, Lu Xuan quickly learned the details about the Jade Talisman.
[Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman, fourth-grade treasure, refined from Cloud Mountain Jade Essence, has extremely powerful ability to repel evil and avoid evil, is the natural nemesis of many foreign level, weird level evil spirits. It can be used as a protective talisman, and can also be used to attack evil spirits by inscribing evil-repelling runes on the jade talisman.]
“A fourth-grade treasure, worthy of being a top-grade quality spirit fruit.”
“This Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman can either be used as a natural body-protecting magic weapon, or it can be engraved with special runes to enhance the power of the jade talisman once again.”
Lu Xuan flipped through the exquisite jade talisman, loving it.
