Chapter 243: Solving the Confusion
“Before I formally teach, I would like to correct one of your misconceptions.”
Lu Xuan looked at the crowd on the stage and said with a smile.
“All of you present are all proud sons of heaven, gifted and talented, and basically don’t think much of spirit plants.”
“Occasionally planting a plant or two, they only use it as a way to earn spirit stones, or obtain alchemy materials.”
“After planting it, they pay little attention to it, letting it grow and perish on its own.”
Lu Xuan spoke eloquently, and many of the people underneath nodded their heads in agreement, indicating that it was indeed as he said.
“It’s true that as a cultivator, enhancing one’s cultivation and one’s strength should always come first.”
“But the importance of spirit plants is no less important than the two cultivation techniques of alchemy and weaponry.”
“Many people have this misconception in their minds that Spirit Plants are meant to be used as alchemy materials and have no other purpose.”
“In reality, Spirit Plants can also be used as weapon refining materials, refining out flying swords with other magic weapons.”
Lu Xuan took out a section of Copper Bone Bamboo from his storage bag and waved it in front of the crowd.
“It can also be refined to produce talismans or even used directly as a magic weapon.”
He gently patted his waist, and a pale green mottled gourd flew up with its mouth facing downwards, only to hear the sound of clanging swords, and a sharp and unrivaled sword qi shot out from inside, transforming into a shadow of a sword that danced and rotated around Lu Xuan.
The appearance of the third-grade sword-raising gourd made the concepts in the hearts of many qi practitioners present change quietly.
“The process of cultivating spiritual plants also enhances one’s ability to delicately control spiritual qi and deepens one’s understanding of various arts.”
“Lastly, the Heavenly Sword Sect is known for its swords, and the importance of the Sword Hall is far above that of the other halls, among which there is a spiritual plant called the Sword Grass, which is the foundation of the sect.”
“And if you want to join the Sword Hall and cultivate sword grass, you need to have extremely deep spiritual plant attainments.”
Lu Xuan followed the guidance.
The expressions of the many outer disciples at the bottom gradually changed, and their views on spirit plants changed slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan secretly nodded his head.
Since he had received two hundred Sword Seals from Shen Ye, the Hall Master of the Si Nong Hall, he naturally had to properly impart knowledge about spiritual plants.
The first thing to do was naturally to correct the prejudice of most cultivators towards spiritual plants.
“After understanding the importance of spirit plants, the next thing I’m going to talk about is the cultivation methods regarding spirit plants.”
“Within the sect there is a rich and pure spiritual qi, and the spiritual fields with fertile spiritual soil are very conducive to the growth of spirit plants.”
“And as a Spirit Plant Master, there are only two things that can make Spirit Plants grow better.”
“First of all, mastering the various basic arts for cultivating spiritual plants, such as the Spiritual Rain Art, the Wood Born Art, and the Earth Drawing Art.”
As Lu Xuan spoke, his mind moved and wisps of Spiritual Rain fell in front of him in an area of half a zhang, and then, the rain rapidly increased and turned into a pouring Spiritual Rain, but it was still only confined to the area that he had demarcated.
After planting spiritual plants for many years, the technique that he had utilized the most was this Spiritual Rain Technique, which had already reached the Grandmaster Realm.
Whether it was the speed of casting the spell, or the range and strength of the spell, it was all at his fingertips.
When the many outer disciples at the bottom saw this, they all marveled.
“Don’t underestimate these basic arts, after practicing to a certain level, it will benefit you in many ways.”
As soon as Lu Xuan’s words fell, a golden yellow stream of light flashed past the heads of the crowd, and then, deftly turning around, it returned to him.
It was only then that the crowd could see that it was a golden-yellow sword qi.
“Even if it’s just a Gungjin Sword Technique used to kill insects, once it reaches a high level, it’s a great threat to high level Qi Practicing cultivators.”
“There’s also the Earth Drawing Technique, which can easily transform the terrain of mountains and rivers after cultivating it to a great extent.
The Wood Born Art, can assist in cultivating control over the plants in the surrounding area, and at the same time, promote the growth of spiritual plants at the fastest speed possible.” A small arrow-like spirit seed appeared in his hand, and a crack quietly surfaced in the ground.
The spirit seed was placed into the crack, and a rich green light struck the spirit seed.
Soon, a vine with more than a dozen small green arrows quickly took shape, and in less than half a moment, it was almost at maturity.
On the vine, a small three-inch arrow shot forward violently, piercing deeply into the rocks on the ground.
This vine with small green arrow-like vines is named Arrow Vine, a first-rate attack-type spirit plant, Lu Xuan accidentally got the spirit seed, due to the grade disparity is too big, the reward of the light group will be greatly reduced, he did not bother to try to plant it.
During the process of ripening by the Wood Born Technique, he also purposely added a tiny bit of Green Wood Source Qi, which led to such a good result.
“Secondly, treat every spirit plant equally.”
“Everything has a spirit, spirit plants are naturally no exception, the higher the grade, the stronger the spirit.”
“During the cultivation process, you can spend more time to feel the emotions of the spirit plant properly, so as to feel out the spirit plant’s habits, preferences, and so on.”
“In this way, it will be better and easier to cultivate the spirit plant, and there is also a greater possibility of obtaining high quality spirit fruits.”
As soon as Lu Xuan’s words fell, the Demon Ghost Vine that had been hiding in his sleeve quietly climbed out, and several tentacle-like gray vines looked curiously at the crowd underneath from all angles.
“This is what I call a high-grade spirit plant, basically not too far off from what a demonic beast would want.”
Lu Xuan said as he gently touched one end of the Demon Ghost Vine.
“A spirit plant that can move freely!”
“I don’t know what grade it is, it must be at least a Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant?!”
“Such cute tentacles, I want a spiritual plant like this so badly!”
The crowd at the bottom looked at the Demon Ghost Vine that was planning to shrink back into Lu Xuan’s sleeve and murmured.
“Alright, I’ve said everything that needs to be said, let me explain to you fellow disciples, the cultivation methods of many common spirit plants.”
Lu Xuan gently pressed the Demonic Ghost Vine hidden in his sleeve and said gently.
He came from a wild background and did not have a generalized framework of knowledge before entering the Heavenly Sword Sect, planting what he had and limiting his understanding of spiritual plants to what he had planted.
After entering the sect, he first went to the hidden scripture cabinet to exchange for a variety of canonical books about cultivating spiritual plants, and read hard day and night to memorize the knowledge inside.
Until now, he boasted that his understanding of spiritual plants was one of the best in the sect.
Even if he has not planted a rare spiritual species, as long as he finds an opportunity to put it in the ground, the grade is high, the species is rare are in front of him at a glance.
This was also his greatest strength in coming over to teach.
“After teaching, it’s time to solve the confusion.”
“If any of you fellow disciples have any unanswered questions in the process of cultivating spirit plants, or encounter any difficulties with spirit plants, you can come to me directly.”
“I will be in the Transmission Hall for the entire day today, you can come and ask.”
“If you can’t manage to accurately describe the state of the spirit plant, you can also bring the entire spirit plant directly over, and I will inspect and solve it on the spot.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile, his heart full of energy.
“Uncle Lu, why is it that my spirit plants always only blossom but not bear fruit?”
“Senior Uncle, there’s a mutated Spirit Plant in my Spirit Field, so I’d like to please ask Senior Uncle to check it out for me later.”
“Senior Uncle, I don’t have any problems, I just came over to ask, can I touch that cute vine spirit plant just now.”
