Chapter 49 – The Sword of the Flame
Chapter 49 The Sword of Departing Fire
Inside the dense and lush slender fiery red pine leaves, five pinecones were half hidden, one of which was already ripe.
The red pine cone skin on the outside seemed like fish scales, from the bottom up, layer by layer, circling the pine nut inside.
The number of pine nuts in the center is not very large, more than twenty, the size of a fingertip, like a pomegranate fruit.
Pale red, crystal clear, fragrant, smell of people’s fingers, mouth-watering.
As his mind converged on top of the ripe Red Cloud Pine Nut, Lu Xuan then obtained detailed information about it.
“Red Cloud Pine Pine Seed, originating from the First Grade Spiritual Plant Red Cloud Pine, it contains rich Spiritual Energy, and can slightly enhance cultivation after practicing Qi Low Stage Medium Stage Cultivators.”
“Its flavor is sweet and refreshing, stretches out and is popular with many female cultivators.”
Lu Xuan peeled off this ripe Red Cloud Pine Pine Seed and placed it into a special vessel with relevant runes drawn on it to maximize the freshness of the pine seed.
As he peeled off the pinecone, he also incidentally learned that this pinecone picked was of good quality.
A white light cluster naturally appeared on the part of the picked Red Cloud Pine, flickering slightly.
Lu Xuan’s heart was stirred, this was the first mature First Grade Spiritual Plant he had harvested.
Previously, whether it was the Spirit Glow Grass or the Eclipse Fruit, they were both no-grade spirit plants, and their value was quite a bit lower than the Red Cloud Pine.
“Harvesting one Red Cloud Pine Pine Seed, obtaining a second grade flying sword, Leaving Fire Sword.”
The white light mass turned into countless points of light that surged into Lu Xuan’s body, and then, a thought flashed through his mind.
A flying sword quietly surfaced in his hand.
The flying sword was about three feet long, with a lightweight, fire-red body, with dark red veins on the blade, and tiny flames flying out from the blade between shakes.
“Second grade flying sword!”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, this was the first Second Grade magic weapon he had obtained in his cultivation career.
When he hadn’t acquired the divine aspects of the Spirit Field, if he wanted to buy a Sword Qi Talisman, he would have to gouge and save for a long time before he could get one.
And now, not only were there such treasures as the Split Silver Blade and the Thunder Fire Pearl.
The talismans were even more numerous, the sword qi talismans that were difficult to obtain before such as the Evil Dispelling Talisman had been piled up in a heap, and even the second-grade Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talismans already had two of them.
Now, another second-grade magic weapon had been obtained, the Departing Flame Sword.
“Plant a spiritual field and get many chances.”
“Don’t love exploring secret realms, don’t like fighting for treasures, just like cultivating some flowers and plants.”
The appearance of the Second Grade Flame Separation Sword caused Lu Xuan to look forward to the remaining four Red Cloud Pine Pine Sons even more, and at the same time, it also reinforced his idea of planting a field in peace and quiet.
He put the Departing Flame Sword into his storage bag and came to the area where the Spirit Glow Grass was located.
There were still sixty-five Spirit Glow Grasses left out of the hundred, and they had already entered the stage of rapid maturation, with dots of fluorescent light flickering on their slender leaves, making them extremely noticeable even in the daytime.
Lu Xuan picked fourteen mature Spirit Glow Grasses at once.
Among them, four were of good quality, seven were of superior quality, and the remaining three were of perfect quality, none of which were of ordinary quality.
He packed the fourteen mature Spirit Glow Grasses in a white jade box to avoid losing their vitality.
Looking towards the spirit field, fourteen white light clusters quietly arrived.
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass, gain June cultivation.” *2
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass, gain September cultivation.”
“Harvest one Spirit Firefly Grass and gain one year’s cultivation.”
Four of the white light clusters brought rewards for cultivation, accumulating three years of cultivation.
Thoughts flashed through his mind as wave after wave of thick spiritual energy appeared in Lu Xuan’s body. It surged wildly and raged in his dantian and meridians, and he closed his teeth tightly as he tried his best to run his gong methods.
It was only after a moment that the spiritual energy in his body gradually calmed down.
After many days of bitter cultivation, coupled with the little bit of cultivation rewards that this time and before had brought, Lu Xuan had finally broken through to the sixth level of Qi Practicing.
“Heaven rewards hard work, it’s not in vain that I took time out of my busy schedule and seized every moment of rest to diligently cultivate while planting the Spirit Fields, being able to achieve what I have today has nothing to do with my hard work and diligence.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed.
“Harvested one Spirit Glow Grass, obtained a Grade 1 Talisman Sword Qi Talisman.” *3
“Harvesting one plant of Spirit Glow Grass, obtaining a Grade 1 Talisman Exorcism Charm.” *2
Five of the white light clusters brought rewards of first-grade talismans, causing Lu Xuan’s inventory of talismans in his storage bag to grow even larger.
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass and obtain one First Grade Peiyuan Dan.” *3
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass, and obtain one Dan Formula of First Grade Peiyuan Dan.”
“Harvest one plant of Spirit Glow Grass and obtain one drop of Grass Spirit Yuan Liquid.”
There were five white light clusters left, three Peiyuan Dan were opened, and the other two, presumably because the Spirit Fluorescent Grass was of perfect quality, one was opened with a Dan Formula, and the other was the treasure Grass Spirit Yuan Liquid.
Lu Xuan absorbed the Peiyuan Dan Dan formula, and immediately, his mind had a deeper understanding of refining Peiyuan Dan, material handling, putting in the dosage, refining the fire, the timing of taking the dan,…… and so on, all of which were improved by a lot.
In terms of refining Peiyuan Dan, although he had not yet had an actual battle, he was already a solid theoretical expert.
A drop of turquoise semi-solidified liquid appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand, it was the Grass Spirit Yuan Liquid, which contained a large amount of grass essence.
Lu Xuan called the Grass Puppet over and stuffed the turquoise liquid into the gray grass tumor above its head.
Not long after it was inserted, the gray grass tumor became emerald green at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if an old tree was sprouting new buds, glowing with rich vitality.
“Eat and drink enough to have more strength to guard the spirit field.”
Lu Xuan looked at the grass puppet with a green head and said with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Lu, in or out?”
Outside the house, there came a somewhat familiar voice, Lu Xuan recalled it slightly and quickly recognized it as a nearby cultivator surnamed Wu, quite old and fond of cups, he had once come to the courtyard to ask Lu Xuan if he had planted any spirit plants suitable for brewing wine.
“Fellow Daoist Wu, I’m here, what’s the matter?”
“It’s not a big deal, it’s just that in the last few days, those lapdogs from the Law Enforcement Hall have finally withdrawn, I’m happy in my heart, I wanted to find someone to drink with, so I thought of you, Little Friend Lu.”
Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door and said to cultivator Wu with a smile.
“Good, I’ll clean up a bit and come to accompany you, Fellow Daoist Wu, for a drink.”
The old man surnamed Wu nodded and left.
Lu Xuan returned to the house, and just in case something unexpected happened, he hid the Thunder Flame Pearl and the Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talisman in his clothes.
The cultivation level of the old man surnamed Wu was at the fourth level of Qi Practicing, so in case he was harboring evil intentions towards himself, even if he had something to hide, Lu Xuan was confident that he would be able to cope with it with the many talismans and magic weapons at hand.
After thinking about it, he called the Treading Cloud Lynx over again.
The lynx cub was expressionless, staring at a pair of turquoise pupils, but inwardly, it was actually cheering as it jumped onto Lu Xuan’s shoulder, and the four white clouds were tightly grasping Lu Xuan’s robes.
Lu Xuan this is completely at ease, with the cloud stepping lynx divine pupils, ordinary cultivators difficult to find the evil spirits also have nothing to hide, Lu Xuan safety is also a further guarantee.
He took the lynx cubs, opened the formation, and walked towards the Wu cultivator’s mansion.
It just so happened that he also had some things he wanted to ask the old man surnamed Wu for advice.
It was already difficult to see unknown spirit species in the scattered cultivator bazaars, and in those kinds of big stores, although there were quite a few varieties of spirit species, most of them were expensive and their grades weren’t that high, mostly of the first grade and no grade, making it difficult to satisfy Lu Xuan, who was becoming more and more discerning.
He then had the idea of going to the mysterious black market in the workshop to have a look, while at the same time bidding to drop some things in his hand.
The old man surnamed Wu has a good cultivation, and stayed in the market long enough, so he must have a lot of knowledge about that black market.
