After using the second-grade Lihuo Sword to exchange for a third-grade dragon vine from a female cultivator, Lu Xuan continued to wander around the black market.
After searching around, he couldn’t find anything similar to the unknown spiritual species, so he found an empty spot and hung up the first-grade flying sword he got from Qin Ming.
In the end, he successfully made the move at the price of thirty-five spirit stones.
He couldn’t find any particularly satisfying protective formations on the black market, and the few techniques he saw were not of very high quality, so Lu Xuan had to give up.
After comparing and weighing, I spent thirty-two spirit stones to buy a first-grade shield. The shield was called the Iron Scale Shield. It had dense black scales on the outside, and its protective power was pretty good among first-grade magic weapons.
The most abundant materials in the black market were monsters and strange materials, mature spiritual plants, followed by talismans and elixirs. Lu Xuan was not very interested in these, so he used his spiritual power to activate the guide talisman, following the guidance of the black arrow, from being as rich as substance to came out of the black mist.
As soon as he came out, the monk guarding the entrance took back the guide talisman.
Lu Xuan remained vigilant, looked around, and quickly left the outskirts of the black market.
Along the way, no accidents occurred, and no one in the black market focused on him, a young qi-training monk whose cultivation and wealth seemed to be extremely ordinary.
More than half an hour later, he returned to the yard.
The formation is still functioning well, with no traces of being touched or invaded.
Lu Xuan felt a little relieved, knowing that there were many rare spiritual plants in the spiritual field behind the yard.
First-grade blood jade ginseng, pure snow lotus, red cloud pine, second-grade sword grass, dark marrow mushroom, Qingmiaoling tea, third-grade Huanyanluoguo…
Even if you don’t count the light group rewards they bring when they mature, their value alone is enough for any Qi Practitioner to put themselves in danger.
When he opened the courtyard door, Lu Xuan saw a black light flash past his eyes and rush towards the back of the courtyard.
He was startled at first, and in an instant he saw the black light figure clearly. It was the blue-eyed cloud-stepping lynx that he cruelly left at home.
“Is this little guy waiting outside the door for me to come back?”
Lu Xuan walked around to the outside of the yard, where the Cloud-Stepping Lynx cub was lying on the edge of the spiritual spring pool, its green eyes staring closely at the red-whiskered carp swimming slowly inside.
It seemed that he didn’t notice that Lu Xuan had returned.
“I’m back!”
Lu Xuan shouted towards the opposite side, and the patrolling grass puppet Hui Cao’s head turned 180 degrees, and his two dark empty eyes looked at the direction of the sound, and continued patrolling without stopping.
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx turned a deaf ear and continued to stare at the red-bearded carp in the Lingquan Pond.
With sharp eyes, Lu Xuan noticed that the tufts of gray hair on its ears were shaking gently, revealing the joy in its heart.
Lu Xuan went straight back to the house.
Only then did the Cloud-Stepping Lynx turn its head and look at Lu Xuan’s back.
The hair on the tips of his ears moved slightly, and he quickly turned his head when he noticed Lu Xuan’s approaching footsteps.
There was a snap.
A plump strip of agouti meat was thrown in front of the lynx.
“Ouch~~”
The cloud-walking lynx squirmed and screamed, grabbing the strip of meat with its white cloud-like soles and stuffing it into its mouth.
Lu Xuan chuckled and returned to the house.
This time I went to the black market and disposed of the second-grade Lihuo Sword that I had just acquired, as well as the first-grade magic weapon left by Qin Ming that had been in the storage bag for a long time. I got a piece of third-grade dragon vine and a first-grade magic weapon. Defensive weapon, iron scale shield.
The spirit stones were neither lost nor made, and the three spirit stones rented from Zhang Guiding Talisman were offset by the three spirit stones earned from reselling flying swords and shields.
The dark black vine is about half a foot long, which is indeed too short if you want to refine whip or rope-type magic weapons.
However, this had little impact on Lu Xuan. He spent a huge price to buy it mainly to plant and cultivate it.
He took this piece of snake-shaped python and came to an open space in the spiritual field.
Each spiritual plant requires a certain amount of space, which makes a spiritual field with an area of more than one acre somewhat insufficient.
Therefore, he currently plans to take the route of expensive essence but not too much. A large number of spiritual plants such as Lingyingcao, Blood Jade Ginseng, etc. are provided by Baicaotang. Other higher-grade and rarer varieties will depend on whether there are opportunities to purchase them from other channels. get.
Lu Xuan used the Earth Drawing Technique, and the spiritual soil quietly changed, and a small crack appeared.
He inserted a half-foot-long dragon vine into the crack, leaving about two-thirds of the length outside. Strands of spiritual rain fell down, fell on the dark black dry vine, and penetrated into the spiritual soil around it.
The spiritual soil gradually becomes moist, and the watery air penetrates through the surface of the vines and slowly penetrates into its interior.
Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the dark black winding vines.
A thought flashed through my mind.
“Dragon vine is a third-grade spiritual plant. When mature, it can be used to cultivate and raise dragon monsters. After special treatment, it can also be used to refine magical weapons such as whips, ropes, etc., or it can be used as the main material for some rare elixirs. “
“When cultivating dragon vines, nourishing them with the blood of snake and dragon monsters can promote their rapid growth. The higher the grade of the relevant blood, the faster the vines will grow.”
“I long for blood that contains powerful power…”
Lu Xuan instantly understood the cultivation method of the newly planted dragon vine through its immediate state.
“It requires nourishment from snake monsters or dragon monsters. Generally speaking, after monks hunt snake monsters outside, they pay more attention to their snake skin, fangs, venom, etc., and generally don’t pay much attention to blood.”
“It seems that I have to go to the market and look for it. I can find the best one. If I can’t find it…”
“Then use the spirit stone to entrust the monks to help you obtain the fresh blood of the demon snake.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly.
Let him go to the wilderness in person to hunt demon snakes in the secret realm and obtain fresh snake blood?
That was impossible. He would rather spend a few more spiritual stones and hire monks than put down the many rare spiritual plants in the spiritual field and take risks outside.
As for the dragon monster, he didn’t dare to think that even the weakest dragon monster was at least as strong as a foundation-building monk. Lu Xuan had no hope of getting the dragon’s blood.
“For the time being, plant it in the spiritual field. Once you find the blood of snake monsters, you can then cultivate it properly.”
“Now, using the Spiritual Rain Technique and Mu Sheng Technique can still maintain its vitality, but if it continues like this, the growth will be extremely slow, which is not a long-term solution.”
After Lu Xuan planted the dragon vines in the spiritual field, he inspected the many spiritual plants in the spiritual field.
“The third-grade spiritual plants are indeed more troublesome. The first- and second-grade ones only have requirements for the growth environment and special spiritual power. The third-grade ones seem to have their own personalities.”
“There are two kinds of third-grade spiritual plants in the spiritual field. Huanyan Luoguo seems to be a mischievous man. He arranges the place himself and then has people look for it. If he cannot find it, it will be difficult to cultivate it.”
“This dragon vine is even more demanding. A vine needs to be bathed in snake blood or even dragon blood. If there is really dragon blood, I might as well use it on myself!”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the increasingly larger mist generated by Huan Yan Luo Guo in front of him.
