Chapter 78: The Basis of Establishment
Chapter 78 The Basis of Establishment
“Impossible!”
Hearing Lu Xuan’s request, He Yuntong subconsciously refused.
The Spirit Seed Condensation Method, like the Dan Formula, had an extremely precious value in the Hundred Herb Hall, and had never been circulated to the outside world.
“You can exchange it for something else, if it has to be a spirit plant, when the hall needs to cultivate a new second-grade spirit plant, I can make the decision to give you a larger number of cultivation qualifications.”
Lu Xuan shook his head, he wanted the second grade spirit plants, but with the skill of being able to cultivate high grade spirit plants, it would come to him naturally, he was more looking forward to teaching him to fish than teaching him to fish.
“The Hundred Herb Hall can condense so many categories of first and second grade spirit plants, I only need one of the methods of knotting a first grade spirit plant, my appetite is already considered small.”
“As for the method of condensing the Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed, it’s just incidental.”
“Spirit Glow Grass is one of the most common basic materials in the Hundred Herb Hall, and with the many spiritual planters cultivating it, even if I grow more of it, it won’t have much of an impact on the entire market.”
Lu Xuan said unconcernedly, in actuality, he inwardly valued the Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed Condensation Method even more, after all, at the moment, he had only found out that it could bring about cultivation rewards, and being able to master the Seed Knotting Method on his own would be the best of all worlds.
“What’s more, of the three Red Cloud Pine Pine Seeds I have in my hand, two of them are of superior quality, and one is even of perfect quality that is rare to find one in a thousand.”
“If Fellow Daoist He were to offer it to that Senior Sister Xu from the Li Shan Sect to satisfy the needs of her spirit pet, it would certainly leave a deep impression on her and establish a deep bond.”
“Senior Sister Xu comes from a famous sect, whether it’s her cultivation or background, she’s a first-class existence, befriend her and the benefits will go without saying.”
Lu Xuan’s tone was full of compulsion.
The fact that he had cultivated high quality Red Cloud Pine Pine Seed had not been leaked to anyone, and after the red-clothed maiden had left, this He Yuntong of the Hundred Herb Hall had followed closely behind, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted the remaining Pine Pine Seed in his hands, and Lu Xuan had quickly figured out the origins of it.
Hearing this from Lu Xuan, He Yuntong’s face was cloudy, she admitted that what Lu Xuan had said had some truth to it, a casual Spiritual Planter, even if he knew the method of condensing Spirit Seeds, the number of Spirit Plants planted was extremely limited.
And for an opportunity like this to please the sect disciples, there was no telling when they would come across it next time.
“Good, I agree to your conditions.”
She hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.
“However, you have to make an oath that without the permission of the Hundred Herb Hall, you shall not circulate the method of condensing spirit seeds to the outside world, and the spirit seeds that you have produced can only be cultivated by yourself, and shall not be used for profit.”
“This is as it should be.”
Lu Xuan agreed painfully, these two conditions were nothing to him.
He Yuntong took out a piece of talisman paper with black lines on a white background from her storage bag and operated her spiritual energy, and on top of the talisman paper, the tadpole-like black lines flowed instantly, forming three lines of small black characters under the control of her spiritual sense.
Immediately afterward, the talisman paper bent and changed, forming a paper bird.
With a spread of its wings, it rushed up into the clouds and disappeared in a few breaths.
A few moments later, a middle-aged Dan Master followed the bird formed by the talisman paper and found where Lu Xuan’s courtyard was.
“Master Nephew He, I’ve brought the Transmission Jade Slip you asked for, and it’s already engraved with two Spirit Seed Condensation Methods, one for the First Grade Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seed, and one for the No Grade Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed.”
The middle-aged dan master handed He Yuntong a pale green jade slip and said with a lowered head.
“Tough luck, Uncle Zhang.”
He Yuntong nodded and took the jade slip.
The middle-aged dan master retreated with great insight. “This is the Transmission Jade Slip, it already has the method of Spirit Seed Condensation you need recorded inside, just place it on your forehead and the corresponding knowledge will be transmitted into your mind, after absorption is complete, the jade slip loses its efficacy and destroys itself.”
“After you make an oath, you can trade immediately.”
Lu Xuan made the Heart Demon Oath, took the Transmission Jade Slip from He Yuntong, and handed over the three Red Cloud Pine Pine Sons to her.
The deal was struck, and He Yuntong and Steward He, who was at the side, did not stay long and left first.
Lu Xuan came to the house and scrutinized the pale green jade slip in his hand, his heart was filled with emotions.
As the level of life rose, it was difficult for cultivators to give birth to bloodline offspring amongst themselves, and the same was true for Spirit Plants.
Spiritual plants in the wild bore spirit seeds that were relatively rare, and needed to be in a specific environment where the spirit plant matured and the spirit seed was condensed by chance.
After generations of observation, groping and experimentation, spiritual planters have slowly summarized the method of spirit seed condensation, which allows them to condense spirit seeds in a targeted and quantitative manner, and then plant and cultivate spirit plants on a large scale.
Lu Xuan was only a casual cultivator before, and only gradually changed his destiny after he got the white light ball by fluke, and did not systematically learn the knowledge of spiritual plants, not to mention practicing the spiritual seed condensation method that those sects and families clutched in their hands.
“This is the foundation of a Spirit Plant Master.”
He sighed, placing the Cangqing Jade Simple against his forehead as his spiritual sense probed into it.
Immediately, a large stream of information was like a river breaking its banks, madly surging into his sea of consciousness.
The jade slip in his hand shattered noiselessly, turning into dozens of pieces of broken jade that fell to the ground.
A moment passed before he digested and absorbed the information that appeared in his mind.
The timing, techniques, and special tricks for the condensation of the Spirit Seed flew past his mind like a horse in the street.
“With the method of condensing the Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed, in the future, if you leave the workshop and go to a new place, you don’t have to worry that you won’t be able to find the Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed.”
Lu Xuan secretly thought, deciding that when this batch of one hundred and twenty Spirit Glow Grasses matured, he would leave behind some seeds for himself, just in case.
As for the first-grade Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seed, on the surface, it appeared to be worth more than the Spirit Fluorescent Grass Spirit Seed, but in actuality, it was just an addition to Lu Xuan’s repertoire, and the other first-grade Spirit Seeds would be able to replace it.
After absorbing the knowledge in his mind, Lu Xuan took out the volume of Common Spirit Plants and Their Handling Methods that he had gotten from the girl in red.
With the help of the dim candlelight, he flipped through the book in his hands intently.
The more than a hundred types of Spiritual Plants and their harvesting and storage methods recorded inside the tome were of great use to him now, allowing him to build a more systematic Spiritual Plant Master system.
The various and strange methods of picking and storing spiritual plants opened his eyes.
For a moment, he completely forgot about the passage of time and immersed himself in the sea of knowledge.
On the bed couch, the Cloud Treading Lynx curled up into a ball and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
It was just that whenever Lu Xuan flipped through the book to pass the slightest movement, the two tufts of grayish-white hairs on its pointed ears would gently shake, paying extreme attention to Lu Xuan’s every move.
Waiting until the middle of the night, Lu Xuan probably flipped through the book once, closed his eyes and rested, lynx ear tip on the two tufts of hair which naturally shrugged down, stationary.
Outside the house, the spirit field was covered by a thick white mist, the grass puppet walked on its long thin legs, tirelessly walking between the spirit field ridges.
