Chapter 53: Suspicion
Chapter 53 Suspicion
“It’s still the Spirit Glow Grass that’s honest, planted in large quantities, cultivated in a simple manner, and importantly brings cultivation rewards.”
Lu Xuan looked around the spiritual field, the other spiritual plants also had their own characteristics, the second grade Sword Grass of Steel Straight Grass, the first grade Blood Jade Ginseng that messed around with the relationships of the spiritual plants and fell in love with each other, the second grade Dark Pith Ganoderma that only wanted to hide in the shadows and be with the decay, and the second grade Clear and Miraculous Spiritual Tea that only needed to be irrigated by the spiritual spring water……
In this way, the Spirit Glow Grass was considered quite provincial.
Lu Xuan walked around the area where the Spirit Glow Grass was located and picked twelve mature Spirit Glow Grasses.
Among them, four were of good quality, six were of superior quality, and the other two were of perfect easy quality.
More than half of the Spirit Glow Grass in the Spirit Field had already been picked, with only thirty-nine Spirit Glow Grasses remaining out of a total of one hundred, and they were about to enter the maturity stage.
Of the twelve white light clusters that appeared, four were cultivation rewards, two were June cultivation, and two were September cultivation, adding up to a total of two and a half years of cultivation.
“Another two and a half years, it’s quite a match with this number.”
Lu Xuan remembered that this was not the first time that two and a half years of cultivation had been added.
He operated his spiritual energy, and the surging spiritual energy slowly calmed down, thus making the cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Practicing more stable.
There were also three white light clusters that brought three first-rate talismans, namely the Sword Qi Talisman, the Evil Dispelling Talisman, and the Explosive Inflammation Talisman, all of which Lu Xuan had saved in his storage bag.
The three white light masses opened out three low ranked arts, two Wood Born Arts and one Earth Drawing Art.
Lu Xuan absorbed them and gained a deeper understanding of the two spells.
The Earth Drawing Art had already reached the Minor Achievement Realm, while the Wood Born Art had reached the Proficient Realm, and when it was executed, the speed of gathering wood spiritual energy was faster, the quantity was greater, and the effect on the fertilization of the spiritual plants would be better.
The two white light clusters brought by the two perfect quality Spirit Glow Grasses, one opened up the first grade art Gengjin Sword Technique, and after the light clusters were integrated into his body, Lu Xuan’s heart gained clarity, and his understanding of this Sword Technique seemed to have reached another level.
His mind moved, a golden sword qi flew out from his fingertips, the sword qi seemed to have a life in general, around Lu Xuan’s body fluttering, the speed is getting faster and faster, leaving behind a path of golden phantoms, as if Lu Xuan as the center to establish a golden barrier.
After ten or so breaths, the sword gas gradually turned into nothingness, the golden phantoms left behind also became dim, and finally disappeared.
“The speed of the technique is needless to say, it is close to instantaneous, the control of the sword qi has reached a realm where it is as easy to use as one’s arms, and the sword qi is able to stay in the outside world for a longer period of time.”
Lu Xuan carefully experienced the changes in the subtleties of the Gengjin Sword Technique after this experience pack.
The other white light ball brought a First Grade Peiyuan Dan formula, and he gained a deeper understanding of how to refine Peiyuan Dan.
“Why don’t we just accumulate a few more Dan Formulas experience packs, so that when the time comes, if we don’t refine, once we open the furnace to refine the Dan we will refine the Dan with the highest success rate and best quality.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but think, anyway, he had already eaten several Dan Formulas, so it wasn’t too late.
There were already twenty-six mature Spirit Glow Grasses in his storage bag, and if there were more, the number of white jade boxes holding the spirit plants would not be enough, so Lu Xuan planned to take a trip to the Hundred Herb Hall, and see if there was any Snake Demonic Beast blood in the scattered cultivator bazaar.
The hall of the Hundred Herb Hall was rich in medicinal fragrance.
Steward He glimpsed Lu Xuan walking over from afar and put down the business in his hands.
“Lu kid, coming over? How are the goods you brought this time?”
“The goods are naturally fine, it depends on whether or not your old man has enough spirit stones in his hand.”
Lu Xuan slapped his palm on the wooden cabinet in front of Steward He and raised his eyebrows.
“Saying that you’re fat, you kid is still wheezing.”
Steward He snorted coldly, unable to look at Lu Xuan’s smug demeanor in front of him.
“What, how many spirit stones in the Hundred Herb Hall can you consume with your spirit plants? One hundredth of a percent? Or one thousandth?”
“Elder He, our Hundred Herb Hall is so rich.”
Lu Xuan had a fervent smile on his face as he picked up a cup of Spirit Tea that was steaming from the hands of the medicine boy who came over to pour the tea.
“Please drink the tea, your old man.”
“Count on your kid to have some insight.”
“Bring out the Spirit Glow Grass and take a look?” Lu Xuan tightened his smile, straightened his expression, and took out twenty-six mature Spirit Glow Grasses from his storage bag.
That Red Cloud Pine Pine Seed wasn’t quite suitable for refining pills, so Lu Xuan kept it for himself first, and then went to offer it to other cultivators when the time was right.
“Superior, superior, perfect ……”
The thin old man kept nodding his head, inspecting the Spirit Glow Grass grades while counting the number and putting the Spirit Glow Grasses of different grades in separate categories.
“A total of twenty-six Spirit Glow Grasses, of which eight are of good quality, thirteen are of superior quality, and five are of perfect quality.”
He had already seen Lu Xuan’s behavior and had long since adapted to it, and after glancing at Lu Xuan’s lack of objections, he continued.
“Still according to the old price, each plant of good quality is three spirit stones and fifty shattered spirits, each plant of superior quality adds twenty shattered spirits, and those of perfect quality adds another thirty shattered spirits.”
“That makes a total of ninety-six Spirit Stones plus ten Broken Spirits, no mistake, right?”
“Your old man is a quick thinker, then naturally there is no mistake.”
Lu Xuan took the ninety or so Spirit Stones handed over by the old man, swept his Spiritual Awareness and put them into his storage bag.
After talking with the thin old man for a while, he planned to leave.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, please stay.”
Just as he walked out of the Hundred Herb Hall’s gate, a slightly familiar voice called out to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan turned around to see that a middle-aged cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Practicing was waiting beside the gate, his expression tinged with a hint of anxiety.
It was one of the three Spirit Plant Masters who had previously partnered up to buy the method of cultivating high quality Spirit Plants from Lu Xuan.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou, what is the matter?”
Lu Xuan asked.
“I’ve seen all the Spirit Glow Grasses that Fellow Daoist Lu just handed over to Steward He, and they really live up to their name, the lowest are all of good quality, and there are several of perfect quality.”
The middle-aged cultivator smiled sarcastically.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou can speak directly if he has something to say.”
Lu Xuan sensed a hint of something wrong in his words and said with a bland demeanor.
“It’s like this, after I learned the planting method from Fellow Daoist Lu with my two best friends last time, we went back and gave up most of our cultivation time to refine and cultivate the Spirit Glow Grass.
In the past two days there just happened to be a batch of Spirit Glow Grass that matured, only it seems to have yielded very little, and there is a big gap between it and what you planted out, Fellow Daoist Lu.”
“How many Spirit Glow Grasses have been harvested? The refinement cultivation hasn’t taken long, has it?”
“Twenty Spirit Glow Grasses were harvested at once, and as for the refinement cultivation as instructed by Fellow Daoist, it was less than seven days.”
“Twenty Spirit Glow Grasses, not a large number, doesn’t mean much, of course, the main thing is that the refinement cultivation time is too short.”
“When I cultivate Spirit Plants, I use that method to cultivate them from the moment the seeds enter the Spirit Soil until they finally mature, during which time there are two to three months, Fellow Daoist Zhou, you’ve only taken a mere seven days, it’s a bit too hasty.”
Lu Xuan said indifferently.
“But …… the difference in quality between my Spirit Glow Grass compared to your Spirit Glow Grass, Fellow Daoist, is also too great!”
“Fellow Daoist Lu, most of yours are of superior quality, and there are quite a few of perfect quality, while my superior quality ones are rare.”
The middle-aged cultivator mumbled his lips twice and said.
“So, you are suspecting that I am hiding something? Not telling you all of them?”
Lu Xuan’s complexion turned cold.
