Chapter 54: Two or Three Drops of Rain from a Long Drought.
“I naturally won’t doubt you, Fellow Daoist Lu.”
The middle-aged cultivator took two steps back as he was glared at by Lu Xuan.
“I just want to know more about your cultivation method, Fellow Daoist Lu, after all, I paid more than thirty spirit stones for it.”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan sneered.
“Fine, then let me ask you, did the quality of the twenty Spirit Glow Grasses you picked improve?”
“Compared to the past, there are two or three more good quality Spirit Glow Grasses, and the top quality ones are unchanged.”
The middle-aged cultivator answered truthfully.
“Then wouldn’t that be enough?”
“There are two or three more Spirit Glow Grasses that have gone from ordinary quality to good quality, that’s still not much time for you to refine the cultivation, if it was longer, the average quality would be able to rise some more.”
“Three more good quality plants, then earn nearly one more spirit stone, planting dozens of hundreds of Spirit Glow Grass then earn several spirit stones ranging.”
“Spirit Glow Grass is a classless spirit plant with a short maturation time, you can plant out three or four batches a year, in this way, you only need a few years to earn back that amount of spirit stones.”
“Not to mention, this method also has an effect on other spirit plants.”
“So, what else do you have to be skeptical about, Fellow Daoist Zhou?”
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to the middle-aged cultivator and left.
Before he could go far, he was tugged by a hand.
“I gave up most of my cultivation time and paid so many spirit stones just to earn that little bit of spirit stones?”
“You have to tell me the trick of it today, or I won’t stop.”
He said fiercely, with a hint of threat in his tone.
During this period of time, he hadn’t cultivated much in the way of gongfu, and had spent almost all of his time on fine-tuning the cultivation of spirit plants.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to obtain high quality Spirit Glow Grass, but the result was a huge disappointment, and the enhancement effect was extremely effective.
With such a big gap between reality and expectation, he subconsciously thought that Lu Xuan was hiding something from him, and couldn’t help but come to the Hundred Herb Hall to wait for Lu Xuan, wanting to get the key to cultivating Spirit Plants from Lu Xuan’s mouth.
“I’ve made it very clear.”
Lu Xuan shook his hand away, and a Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talisman quietly slid down to his wrist.
“Giving up your cultivation time, that’s your own choice.”
“I can guarantee that my methods are correct and effective, as long as you follow the method I taught and refine the cultivation of spirit plants for a long period of time, then the average quality of the spirit plants will definitely be able to be raised.”
“As for whether or not you can obtain a perfect quality Spirit Glow Grass or any other Spirit Plant, that will depend on the Spirit Plant Master’s personal talent and level of effort.”
“I gave up cultivation and devoted all my energy to cultivating spirit plants, along with naturally having a strong affinity for spirit plants and being able to keenly perceive their needs, this is how I was able to grow perfect quality spirit plants.”
“The words have come to this, please do not dwell on it, or else don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Lu Xuan gave a warning sentence towards the middle-aged cultivator, no longer paying attention to his nonsense, and left straight away.
“You ……”
“You’ll get retribution for this!”
Behind him, came the middle-aged cultivator’s indignant voice.
Lu Xuan secretly felt amused, he thought that he had a clear conscience, and the method of telling this casual Spiritual Planter was indeed effective, being able to slightly enhance the quality of the Spiritual Plants that he had planted.
The only and biggest difference between the two was that Lu Xuan was able to clearly grasp the immediate state of the Spirit Plants, and could fulfill their subtle needs at any time, while the appearance of the white light mass would allow him to not have to worry about stagnation of cultivation, lack of treasures, and other occurrences. As long as that Spirit Plant Master could calm his mind and refine the cultivation of the Spirit Plants according to what Lu Xuan had told him, it wouldn’t take long for him to earn back the Spirit Stones he had spent.
However, he was clearly in a hurry and had some mental imbalance after seeing the quality of the Spirit Plants that Lu Xuan had planted, and his words and actions were out of order.
As for what he said about retribution? Lu Xuan thought that he had a deep cultivation level and numerous treasures and talismans, and did not take his words to heart.
He arrived at the Scattered Cultivator Bazaar.
Since there were constantly cultivators alienating into inhuman monsters, there were obviously many more Law Enforcement Hall cultivators in the bazaar than before.
The cultivators were also constantly on guard as they came and went.
Lu Xuan’s footsteps were swift in such a dull atmosphere, his eyes sweeping over the stalls on both sides.
On the stalls, there were many cultivators selling demonic beast materials, most of which originated from the wilderness and secret realms, while a few raised their own, with demonic beast meat being the most prevalent.
After all, consuming demonic beast meat could slightly enhance the spiritual energy in a cultivator’s body, counting it as a daily consumable.
Secondly, there are those special parts that can be refined into magic weapons, such as the fur, scale armor, skeletons, etc. of certain demonic beasts.
Occasionally, when he saw stalls that sold demonic beast blood in passing, Lu Xuan, with anticipation, went up to ask about the species of the demonic beast, but unfortunately, it wasn’t snake-type demonic beast blood.
In the end, he found a bottle of python blood at the stall of a young cultivator of the first level of Qi Practicing.
The name of the python was Black Thread Snake, a demonic beast that did not enter the grade, according to the teenager, he and a few of his companions had combined their efforts to kill the python, and due to his lesser contribution, he did not get the skin of the python or the poisonous fangs, and only got a small bottle of Black Thread Snake Snake Blood, which he had placed on the stall with the mentality of giving it a try.
Lu Xuan spent seventy broken spirits to purchase the vial of Black Thread Snake blood from the teenager.
The youngster had thought that the snake blood would just rot in his hands, but he didn’t realize that he would accidentally get seventy broken spirits, so he hurriedly bowed to Lu Xuan to thank him.
Lu Xuan took the snake blood and returned to his compound.
Entering the spirit field, everything was as usual, the half man tall grass puppets were still tirelessly patrolling the spirit field.
When it passed by Lu Xuan’s side, its footsteps did not stop, and its huge gray grass head turned towards Lu Xuan’s direction, looking on in disbelief, and it kept turning nearly one hundred and eighty degrees before returning to its original position.
“After absorbing two drops of Grass Spirit Yuan Liquid, the Grass Puppet’s Spiritual Intelligence has obviously increased, probably from an inanimate puppet to the level of a one or two year old baby.”
“What remains unchanged is still the heart that firmly guards the spirit field.”
Lu Xuan sighed a sigh of relief, glad that he had such devoted toolman under his command.
He looked around in the Spirit Field, all the spirit plants were growing in their usual state, and when there were a few plants that needed to be nourished, he cast a Spirit Rain Technique or a Wood Born Technique in passing to ensure that they were able to receive the maximum fulfillment.
Finally, coming to the area where the Jiao Vine was located.
He couldn’t wait to take out the vial of Black Thread Snake snake blood, pull out the cork, and carefully pour the snake blood on the curved vines.
After dropping it on the Jiao Vine vine, the bright red blood didn’t drip down and was tightly adsorbed on the surface of the vine.
Then, it slowly seeped into the interior of the vine.
The originally deep black vine turned black and red after absorbing the black thread snake’s blood, and when observed closely, the winding, gnarled roots and knots of the vine seemed to be like a small snake awakening after hibernating for a winter, swimming slowly.
Only after several breaths did it stop.
Lu Xuan’s mind converged on the Jiao Vine vine.
“It seems like something good has entered the body, but it’s gone before I can taste it ……”
There was a look of hunger and thirst that wanted to do what a long drought did and moisturize it to its fullest, only to have only two or three drops of rain fall.
