Chapter 290 – Thorn Bone Ripening
Chapter 290 – Thorn Bone Ripening
Although Lu Xuan’s request seemed absurd, Song Yu very quickly found a suitable location.
On the following day, Song Yun came over early and led Lu Xuan to the spiritual field that the Song family had found.
The spirit field was not much far from the center of Empyrean Island, with an area of six or seven acres, which was much smaller compared to the Inner Sect’s mountain peaks.
“Senior Lu, this spiritual field was originally occupied by a Qi practicing high level loose cultivator on Empty Underworld Island, after learning of your needs, our Song family bought it at a premium, and that loose cultivator moved out overnight.”
Seeing Lu Xuan surveying the spirit field renovated with spirit soil, Song Yun hurriedly explained.
“There wasn’t any forceful buying and selling behavior, was there?”
Lu Xuan looked around.
“Absolutely nothing, that loose cultivator cultivated this spiritual field just to earn some spirit stones, we gave enough spirit stones, he didn’t have to consider it for long before directly agreeing.”
The Song Clan was clear that Lu Xuan came from a prestigious sect, so at least on the surface, nasty behavior was not allowed, so they would rather spend more spirit stones than upset Lu Xuan.
“These spirit fields are surrounded by Spirit Gathering Formations, which are suitable for senior to cultivate spirit plants, in addition to that, we have kept in mind your request, senior, that there is a rocky cliff behind the courtyard, with a tributary of earth fire underneath.”
Song Yun introduced the spiritual fields in detail.
Lu Xuan nodded, considering the growth needs of the Fourth Grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus, when he asked the Song Family to look for a spiritual field, he specifically instructed that it would be best to find a spiritual field that had an earth fire around it.
Empty Underworld Island itself was a sea island, and there were outbreaks of foreign fire from time to time, so finding ground fire wasn’t that difficult.
“You guys have the heart.”
Lu Xuan smiled and said towards Song Yun.
Although the spiritual qi of the spiritual field was far inferior to the cave in the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was already quite a bit stronger than the spiritual fields in the Lin Yang Marketplace, and he was already satisfied to be able to find this piece of spiritual field in a bitterly cold island such as this one.
“It’s good that senior is satisfied.”
Lu Xuan’s casual praise caused Song Yun to be flattered, and uncontrollable joy surfaced on his face.
“It’s finally time to release the treasures inside the Sheng Sheng Bag.”
After Song Yun left, Lu Xuan set up a simple formation and immediately opened the Sheng Sheng Bag.
The first thing that jumped out was the rounded Wind Falcon, constantly flapping its light green-colored feathers, seeing that it was a bit uncomfortable staying inside.
Treading clouds lynx stepped elegantly, from the bag of life scurried out, turquoise pupils scanning the surrounding, two tufts of gray hair on the tip of the ear very vigilant turn around.
Demon Ghost Vine followed closely behind, climbed out after the gray vines swaying around, sensing that there are no those marked rare and rare spiritual plants around, sickly lying on the ground, a look of lifelessness.
“Wind Thunder Sword Grass! Plant it here.”
Lu Xuan found an open area, executed the Earth Drawing Technique, and planted the Wind Thunder Swordgrass into the spiritual soil.
The sword grass was already three feet long, with a grayish-black sword body, standing straight up with the tip of the sword pointing straight up to the sky, and soon after planting it, subtle Wind Thunder Sword Qi was automatically generated in the surroundings, causing gusts of slight sword whistles as it rotated and flew around.
“Moon Lin Grass, have to find a shady place for it.”
Lu Xuan’s spiritual energy surged, and the soil of the island’s spiritual field stones kept changing, and in a few breaths, a simple shed was built to block the scorching hot sun for the Moon Lin Grass, and then the shed was revoked when night fell, so that the tower could absorb the moonlight to its heart’s content.
Next was the fourth grade Xuan Worm Vine, more than ten weirdly structured worm chambers hooked together, grotesque yet harmonious, forming a strange symbiotic relationship.
After planting the Xuan Worm Vine, Lu Xuan immediately buried the third grade Starlight Sword Grass and the fourth grade Sword Thousand Lords, the two types of Sword Grasses could only absorb the spiritual qi due to the corresponding Sword Skill not being exquisite enough, and could barely maintain their vitality. Also planted ten ordinary second grade swordgrasses, after these matured, they were mainly used to condense the spirit seeds and expand the scale of the swordgrasses to improve the varieties of swordgrasses with a larger base.
The entire spiritual field, most of the area was used to cultivate Waterfly Grass.
The Water Glow Grass Spirit Seeds that were condensed before had nearly 160 of them, and were the key to Lu Xuan’s ability to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in a short period of time.
His qualifications were ordinary, plus he had arrived at the relatively thin spiritual qi of Empty Underworld Island, if there was no Water Fluorescent Grass light mass to add to his cultivation, it would take years and months before he could break through.
After planting the Water Fluorescent Grass, Lu Xuan went to the courtyard, jumped down the rocky cliff, and went deep into a cavern to find a tiny tributary of the Earth’s fire.
“It’s barely enough, big deal, I’ll use the Greenwood Source Qi to catalyze it again.”
He placed the Earth Fire Heart Lotus, which bore quite a few pale red lotus seeds, into the scorching magma.
After being washed by the scorching magma many times, the Earth Fire Heart Lotus regained a lot of its vitality, and the roots of the lotus leaves glistened, glowing with crimson and light red light in a brilliant and eye-catching manner.
“As for these Netherworld Spiritual Plants, couldn’t care less, and planted them mixed with other spiritual plants.”
He returned to the spirit field and took out the three types of Netherworld Spirit Plants he had brought over.
The two Ghost-faced Stone Mushrooms, with strange lines growing on the surface of the gray stone, seemed like bizarre faces when looked at closely, taking in the spirit.
Thorn Bone has grown into a small piece of white bone jungle, slender white bone grows unchecked, there are countless tiny bone thorns on the side of the white bone, densely packed, can instantly suck a fresh demonic beast corpse into a dry corpse.
Hundreds of pupils of the trick wood, pale as the bark of the tree trunk, dozens of evil pupils coincidentally open, staring at Lu Xuan, slightly turning.
Many of the pupils still have dried up demonic beast eyeballs hanging from them, all of which have been dried up for a long time, like a broken gray lantern shaking helplessly in the wind.
Lu Xuan neck came a cool breath, dozens of evil pupils brought discomfort immediately disappeared.
He found a remote corner and planted these three kinds of Netherworld Spirit Plants.
Empty Underworld Island was not like the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town, with the protection of the Fourth Grade Thousand Illusory Cloud Smoke Formation, plus it was located near the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was almost difficult to see evil cultivators, so there was no need to worry too much about the safety of the spiritual plants.
In the Heavenly Sword Sect, he was just a small pre Foundation Establishment cultivator, planting numerous netherworld spirit plants would probably be noticeable, and even suspicious of his own origin and purpose, etc.
The Empty Underworld Island was different, pre Foundation Establishment cultivation, coupled with the identity of the inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, could be considered one of the cultivators with the highest authority amongst the surrounding islands, and even if he was found out, there was no harm in doing so.
Therefore, Lu Xuan no longer avoided it and directly planted the Thorn Bone and other mixed plants with other spiritual plants.
“Finally, all of them are properly disposed of, and it’s time to start the three-year desert island farming career.”
Despite the fact that the spiritual qi and spiritual soil on Empyrean Island was quite a bit weaker than that of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Lu Xuan still maintained an optimistic mindset.
For the next ten days or so, he stayed behind closed doors and had been carefully cultivating and caring for the many spiritual plants in the spiritual fields.
During this period, the elegant cultivator Song Yu came over several times to invite him to attend the banquet, Lu Xuan attended once or twice and then politely declined his invitation, concentrating on the spiritual plants.
“The Third Grade Thorn Bone has matured.”
On this day, between inspecting the spirit field, Lu Xuan realized that the faint progress bar underneath the Thorn Bone had been drawn up, and with surprise, he carefully pulled out the jungle of thorns surrounded by white bones.
The roots spread deep in the ground, and when pulled out, they seemed like white bones with a bit of soil, like skeletons that had resurfaced after many years.
