Chapter 132 Crab Spirit
“Junior Brother Lu, is the reason why this flame fruit is in a sluggish state because it has not been nourished by the appropriate spiritual flames?”
The round-faced female cultivator Hui Zhilanxin immediately understood the reason.
“Yes, due to growing in a special environment for a long time, this flame fruit has undergone certain changes and needs the nourishment of yin fire-like spiritual flames.”
Lu Xuan replied affirmatively.
“In that case, I’ll try it now.”
The round-faced female cultivator took out a talisman from her storage bag. When her spiritual power was stimulated, the talisman’s aura emerged, and a wisp of pale flame floated out of it.
“This is the second-grade talisman Yinyan Talisman. The spiritual flames released are sinister and poisonous, like gangrene attached to the bones, which cannot be dissipated for a long time.”
The round-faced female cultivator explained to Lu Xuan while controlling the pale flames to fly towards the somewhat dry flame fruit.
Feeling the approach of the pale flame, some withered fiery red leaves on the Flame Fruit Spirit Plant moved automatically without wind, seeming to attract the pale flame.
The pale flame turned into wisps of tiny flames and evenly blended into the fiery red leaves.
In an instant, the flame fruit seemed to have tasted some unparalleled delicacy. The fiery red branches and leaves instantly came to life, rustling in the air, and full of vitality.
It didn’t take long for the flame fruit, which looked shriveled due to long-term malnutrition, to become fuller at a speed visible to the naked eye under the gaze of the two people.
“It really works! Thanks to you, Junior Brother Lu, this time!”
When the round-faced female cultivator saw the increasingly vigorous Flame Fruit, a look of excitement appeared on her face.
“These are thirty sword seals. They are my junior brother’s reward for helping me heal the Flame Fruit this time.
In addition, there are some spiritual fruits that I cultivated, which my junior brother can take back to his cave and enjoy as snacks after practicing. “
She paid Lu Xuan thirty sword seals and presented him with a large number of various spiritual fruits.
“Thank you, Senior Sister Chen.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t refuse, so he had to accept it.
He didn’t stay in the round-faced nun’s small courtyard and flew directly back to his cave.
After making a small amount of sword seals, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to take on any more tasks. He still had things to do in Lingtian.
The fifty condensed fireflies needed constant attention. After the cultivation reached a certain stage, Lu Xuan processed it slightly according to the condensation method and obtained nearly five hundred full and fresh firefly seeds.
He kept more than 300 seeds and planted 200 firefly seeds in the spiritual field.
He has limited energy and spiritual power, and there are other second- and third-grade spiritual plants that need to be carefully cultivated, so planting two hundred spiritual fireflies is almost his current limit.
The firefly grass provides cultivation, and other higher-grade spiritual plants obtain rare and precious treasure rewards. The two go hand in hand.
One month passed in the blink of an eye, and the two hundred fireflies were growing beautifully and green.
Although Lu Xuan did not cultivate it with the utmost care due to the task of raising dragons, the growth status was actually better in the sect’s pure and rich aura environment.
After being cultivated for a month, the two sword grass plants have grown to about one foot. The leaves are slender and as thin as a sword blade. They stand upright, with the tips of the grass pointing straight into the sky.
The sword energy is permeating the air, and because they are not far apart, the sword energy occasionally intersects. Amidst the sound of clanging swords, there are countless subtle sword marks on the surface of the spiritual soil between the two sword grasses.
After one month of growing the sword gourd, the vines became thicker and longer, clinging to the special shelf built by Feijian.
The flying sword placed below was already the third. Seeing that the sword intent inside was about to be absorbed by the gourd, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh at the difficulty of cultivating third-grade spiritual plants.
Other spiritual plants are growing in good condition, and the second-grade copper-bone bamboo has entered the mature stage. It will not take long before it is picked and the white light group reward is obtained.
In the spiritual spring, four iron claw crabs hide under the strange rocks.
After being raised for such a long time, the crabs have grown to the size of a washbasin. The green and black crab shells look thick and strong, and the pair of claws have been fully trained after pinching off the copper and iron ore day and night.
While Lu Xuan was scooping ice-cold spring water from the spiritual well, he suddenly noticed a faint white light group flickering under a huge stone.
He looked at the four iron claw crabs sinking at the bottom of the water and thought in surprise.
His mind was focused on the body of the crab one by one, and the growth progress bar of the crab appeared.
Soon, Lu Xuan found the iron claw crab that had entered the fully mature stage.
It’s the one who is usually the most arrogant and domineering.
“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it for you right away.”
Lu Xuan glanced at the iron claw crab that was holding a pair of green and black claws high in the sky, showing off its power to him, and focused on the white light group.
His spiritual consciousness gently touched the slightly flickering white light group. Suddenly, the light group turned into countless tiny points of light and poured into his body.
A thought flashed through his mind, and then a square piece of ointment appeared in his hand.
The ointment is bluish-white in color and has a jelly-like feel when lightly touched. A spiritual light appears on the surface and an alluring fragrance comes out.
[Crab spirit ointment, a second-grade treasure, is made from the essence of crab monsters. It contains rich spiritual power and is delicious. It is very popular among monks and monsters. 】
“Tsk, tsk, second-grade delicacies.”
Lu Xuan sighed and put the square piece of green and white ointment into the storage bag.
With a thought in his mind, he greeted the grass puppets who were constantly patrolling the spiritual field.
The grass puppet held a huge gray grass head and walked slowly to Lu Xuan.
“Tie up this crab.”
Lu Xuan ordered.
The grass puppet nodded slightly, and two gray and black grass ropes emerged from the body like poisonous snakes.
Seeing this, the iron claw crab brandished a pair of claws like a big knife and clamped hard on the gray and black grass rope.
The straw rope looked extremely slow, but it was just right in avoiding the incoming claws. It kept shuttling between the body of the iron claw crab, and soon, it tightly bound the iron claw crab with its five-flowered belly.
“Put the pot up!”
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, the cloud-walking lynx, already impatient, grabbed the incapacitated iron claw crab and put it directly into the iron pot.
The wind falcon, who was as fat as a small ball, didn’t know what was going on yet. His pair of green pupils rolled around and he looked curiously at the iron claw crab in the iron pot.
Lu Xuan’s spiritual power moved, and a bright yellow flame flew out and landed on the firewood.
The firewood burst into flames instantly.
After steaming in the pot for a long time, Lu Xuan felt that the time was right and opened the lid of the pot.
A cloud of steaming white mist dispersed, revealing an iron claw crab with a red shell inside.
“I was still fighting hard before I died…”
Lu Xuan looked at the chelicerae of the iron claw crab that was maintaining a high posture, and couldn’t help but feel sad, and he couldn’t help but shed tears of sadness from the corner of his mouth.
“Ouch~” The cloud-walking lynx squatted on the edge of the iron pot and roared softly with a tone of five points.
“Chirp!”
The fat young falcon jumped around nimbly, knowing that it would soon enjoy a delicious meal.
