Chapter 96: The same old chelonian crab.
Chapter 96: Still the Same Iron Chelid Crab from Before
“Finally home.”
Lu Xuan stood in front of the gate of his family’s courtyard, overcome with emotion.
“It’s a good thing that there are still good people in the cultivation world who brought me back inside the workshop.”
After bumping into the three cultivators at the very beginning, he encountered two more waves of cultivators, all of whom were warm and generous, insisting on giving the storage bags they were carrying to themselves.
It was only when he ran into two cultivators for the fourth time that he was willing to take Lu Xuan back to the Lin Yang Square Market.
During the return process, without that second grade Iron Feather Eagle to ride on, the speed slowed down a lot, Lu Xuan several people spent four or five days of work before arriving at the market.
With a creak, the gate opened, and a familiar aura of spiritual energy came from the courtyard, Lu Xuan took a deep breath, his heart at peace.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, you have finally returned.”
Not far away, a familiar voice came.
Lu Xuan turned his head to look, only to see Wu Wengjing a few feet away at the doorway, drunkenly surveying himself.
“I heard that you went to that new secret realm, and I was worried that I would be missing a drinking buddy! It’s good to come back safely.”
The old man said with a smile.
“It can’t be helped, the Wang Clan cultivator came out to invite me and had to agree.”
Lu Xuan said helplessly.
“It’s also true that there was a little accident inside the secret realm, but fortunately it was a surprise and came back smoothly.”
“By the way, Fellow Daoist Wu, during the time I was away, did anyone come outside this courtyard of mine?”
Wu Wengjing shook his head to clear it quite a bit and pondered for a while.
“There’s a teenager surnamed Zhang who came over to look for you to play with, and also that old steward from the Hundred Herb Hall came over almost every day. Other than that, haven’t seen anyone else come over.”
“Good, many thanks to fellow Daoist Wu, when I go back to my house to clean up a bit, come over to find you for a drink.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile as the figures of Zhang Xiuyuan and Steward He appeared in his mind.
Entering the courtyard, he did not have time to sit down and rest, and the first thing he did was to come to the Spirit Field.
Inside the spirit field, mist filled the air.
The grass golem sensed that someone had invaded the spiritual field, and its giant gray grass head looked over.
After sensing Lu Xuan’s aura, it was stunned in place, paused for a few breaths, and then continued to patrol the spiritual field, its pace seeming to be much lighter as it traveled.
Lu Xuan swept through the entire spiritual field, everything was as usual, he then put his heart down and came to the spiritual spring pool.
Inside the crystal clear Spirit Spring Pool.
The four First Grade Iron Chelid Crab Juveniles were each occupying a corner, spitting out a single transparent bubble.
After not feeding anything for more than ten days, Lu Xuan realized that the iron chelid crabs had flattened their abdomen quite a bit.
The bulging eyeballs on the head of the most jumpy one, sensing Lu Xuan’s probing upper body, held high a pair of large knife-like greenish-black chelipeds that kept clamping like pincers, with an extremely arrogant demeanor.
“Very well, you’re still the same chelonian crab from before, without a single change.”
Lu Xuan’s heart was greatly relieved as he looked at the Iron Chelated Crab hatchling that had provoked him.
In the center of the Spirit Spring Pool, the Pure Snow Lotus that was surrounded by the mudstone wall high up, more than ten days had passed, and had quietly grown a white as jade lotus seed, and the lotus seed prototype could be vaguely seen in the lotus seed.
“This is an unexpected delight.”
Lu Xuan’s mind gathered on the Pure Snow Lotus, seeing that the progress bar underneath was only a small distance away from being completely drawn out, his heart rejoiced. Inside the Spirit Field, before Lu Xuan left, he had picked all the Spirit Glow Grasses, and placed the third grade Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit and Jiao Vine into the Sangsheng Bag, so in addition to the first grade Pure Snow Lotus, there were only three second grade Cleansing Miraculous Spirit Tea, as well as five Copper Bone Bamboo plants.
On top of that, there were also four diseased second grade spirit plants in the corner that had been acquired earlier.
Having not been properly cultivated for more than ten days, both the Clear Myriad Spirit Tea and the Copper Bone Bamboo were not in very good condition.
Lu Xuan hurriedly scooped a bowl of Spiritual Spring from the Spiritual Spring Pond and poured it over the old roots of the Spiritual Tea, and took out a shovelful of fine iron crumbs from his storage bag and sprinkled it around the Copper Bone Bamboo.
After slightly dealing with the spirit field and spirit plants, Lu Xuan opened the Sheng Sheng Bag, and the Treading Cloud Lynx popped out of the gray and black cloth bag, its thick paws landing securely on the ground.
“Ow……”
It stretched its limbs and gave a soft clip.
This trip to the secret realm, it had spent most of its time in the birth bag, and its joints were almost rusty.
Lu Xuan took out the Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit and the Jiao Vine from the Sheng Sheng Bag again.
After being placed inside for so long, the vitality of the two hadn’t weakened much.
Replanting them inside the spiritual field, his mind focused on these two third-grade spiritual plants.
The interior of the Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit rapidly secreted white smoke, expanding continuously to hide the smoke-like spirit fruit.
As for the Jiao Vine, Lu Xuan sensed its strong desire for snake blood from its vines, and hurriedly took out the Aqua Python blood, pouring additional amounts on the black vines.
Vine crazy draw red and green mixed Aqua Python blood, not long, originally appeared to be a little dry vine slowly come to life, like a poisonous snake slowly swimming, vine surface has red and green lines, adding a few points of demonic strange.
After cultivating the spirit plant, Lu Xuan returned to the house and took stock of the harvest from this outing.
This time, he had traveled to the Secret Realm to identify and separate the spirit plants for the Wang Family, and although he had encountered accidents along the way, he had gained quite a lot.
Among them, one of the biggest harvests was the five Ghostface Stone Mushrooms that had fallen into dormancy.
Five third-grade spirit plants were obtained at once, only that they still needed to be awakened by rubbing together the ghostly grudges after refining.
The appearance of the Ghost-faced Stone Mushroom and its cultivation method revealed something sinister, but Lu Xuan didn’t care much about it.
After trying to feed the evil spirit with spirit fruits and thus learning of its true nature, not to mention this bizarre style of spirit plant, if he had the chance, Lu Xuan would even want to raise a small evil spirit to try it out.
There were also dozens of preliminarily processed Dragon’s Beard Grasses, which were likely harboring quite a few mutated plants, as well as the need to separate the mutated silk whiskers from the normal Dragon’s Beard Grasses.
Lu Xuan had long since had a method of completely recognizing and separating them, and could quickly sift out the normal dragon’s beard grass.
A second-grade spirit plant could be exchanged for quite a few spirit stones.
In terms of spirit stones, with a hundred spirit stones paid by the Wang Family as part of the reward, more than two hundred spirit stones in Li Jianfeng’s storage bag, and a total of more than two hundred spirit stones provided by a few other cultivators, Lu Xuan’s fortune was just shy of breaking through one thousand spirit stones.
In addition to this, there were also two second-grade magic weapons, a number of storage bags, various types of first-grade talismans, first-grade pills, a bunch of low-grade demonic beast materials, and spiritual herbs and medicines.
There is also that odd scabbard, seems to be attracted by the Xun Lei Sword Pill in their own body, these days has not been moving.
However, it was able to be pursued by a Creepy Grade Evil Spirit and an Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the same time, so it was most likely some kind of extraordinary treasure.
Lastly, it was the so-called Green Cloud Order that the cool female cultivator had left for herself, which would allow the cultivator to worship in the Heavenly Sword Sect more easily.
“No wonder so many loose cultivators are keen on exploring the secret realm and competing with others for the opportunity, it’s really because the benefits are too great.”
“However, there are also no small risks hidden in it. With evil spirits invading, tracking, and cultivators scheming against each other, one could fall into danger if they’re not careful.”
“It’s better to cultivate spirit plants in peace.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but lament.
