Chapter 292 Gathering Sand
Kongming Island.
In the early morning, the red sun rises and casts its rays of light. The sea surface rises and falls, and the salty sea breeze blows.
Lu Xuan got up early to observe the growth of each spiritual plant in the spiritual field.
The water fireweed has grown slender buds, and the young leaves are light blue. There are fluorescent spots on the leaves, which echo the deep blue sea in the distance.
More than a hundred water fireweeds occupy most of the Lingtian area. They grow in an environment rich in water spirit like Kongming Island. Although their growth is not as good as in Tianjian Sect, every water fireweed is full of water.
Lu Xuan’s spiritual power surged in his body, and thin clouds and rain appeared over the water fireweed. Wisps of spiritual rain fell down and fell on the light blue leaves.
The leaves are even more fluorescent, as if they are greedily absorbing the spiritual rain, and they flicker slightly, like the sea surface sparkling in the sun.
After cultivating more than a hundred water fireflies, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the other spiritual plants in the spiritual field.
Ten second-grade ordinary sword grasses have sprouted out of the ground, standing straight like ten slender swords stuck in the soil. You can feel the sharpness coming from the plants.
Next to it, although the third-grade Starlight Sword Grass was planted earlier, due to its higher grade, Lu Xuan was barely able to control the Starlight Sword Technique. Therefore, the growth progress was not much different from that of ordinary sword grass.
As for the fourth-grade Jian Qianxiao, he is still buried in the shallow layer of the spiritual soil, absorbing spiritual power to maintain his vitality.
Although it is still a seedling, the starlight sword grass is obviously different from the ordinary sword grass. There are a few starlights on the surface of the gray-black plant, which moves in an extremely obscure trajectory, revealing a mysterious meaning.
The more Lu Xuan looked at it, the more he liked it. The corners of his mouth raised, and he flicked his finger on the top of the three-inch starlight sword grass.
A slight clang of sword sounds sounded.
The Starlight Sword Grass seemed fragile, but it refused to bend and stood upright. It kept swinging back and forth under Lu Xuan’s force, and it took a long time to calm down.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but get more playful and flick the top of the Starlight Sword Grass from time to time.
“Uh-huh~”
A clear chirping sounded, and the wind falcon fluttered its broad light cyan wings and shot from a distance, holding a first-grade demon bird in its claws.
“You will have the most fun when you come to Kongming Island.”
Lu Xuan looked at the feng falcon flying in front of him with the demon bird in his hand, rubbing his soft belly and said with a smile.
In the Tianjian Sect, because the inner sect had formation restrictions everywhere, Lu Xuan was afraid that the wind falcon would accidentally encounter it, so he kept it on the mountain peak to raise it.
For the wind falcon, which is famous for its speed, such a way of raising makes it naturally constrained and it may occasionally feel uncomfortable.
After arriving at this island, Lu Xuan allowed it to fly freely in the nearby waters.
Although it has not grown to the second level, it has air superiority and is famous for its speed, so Lu Xuan is not worried about its safety.
“Senior Lu!”
A clear young voice came from outside the yard.
Soon, Song Yun’s figure appeared in front of Lu Xuan, holding a food box in his hand, which contained spiritual fruit and spiritual brew, and often Kongming spiritual fish cooked in various cooking methods.
After spending some time with Lu Xuan and feeling that Lu Xuan was not difficult to get along with, Song Yun also regained some of his youthful nature and was not as restrained as he was at the beginning.
Lu Xuan did as usual, testing and giving pointers on his swordsmanship.
“Yes, your swordsmanship is getting better and better. If you maintain this growth rate, you will have a lot of hope of successfully joining the Tianjian Sect.”
He complimented casually.
“Thank you, senior, for your careful guidance.”
Song Yun said respectfully, his eyes turning slightly when he saw the spiritual plants growing well not far away.
“Senior, I have a little sister who also loves spiritual plants and spiritual beasts like you. In addition to practicing every day, she spends her time cultivating spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts.”
When Lu Xuan heard this, he felt a little more curious.
After he came to this Kongming Island, he stayed behind closed doors. Only when he first arrived, he wandered around for a while and learned a little about some of the spiritual plants and beasts with island characteristics. After hearing Song Yun’s words, he The idea of going and taking a look.
“Yes, senior, come with me.”
Song Yun took Lu Xuan around seven times and eight times until they came to a courtyard.
After shouting twice, a young girl came out. She had a round face with delicate features and a cuteness unique to her age.
“Lu…Senior Lu!”
When the girl saw Song Yun, she was angry at first. When she saw Lu Xuan coming from behind, her expression changed and she greeted him respectfully.
“Senior Lu, this is my little sister, Song Sining.”
Lu Xuan nodded lightly.
After Song Yun explained his intention, Song Sining led the two of them into the courtyard.
What surprised Lu Xuan was that there was a large pool in the courtyard, more than ten feet long and wide, with many spiritual trees planted on the edge.
There were many silvery algae growing in the pool, like clumps of thick hair. They were the same silvery algae that Lu Xuan had seen at the casual cultivator stall before.
“Senior Lu, this is silver thread algae. It can be used to raise many sea fish and sea animals. After being collected, dried and mashed, it can also be used as a material for refining elixirs.”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s eyes focused on the silver algae in the pool, Song Sining hurriedly introduced.
“That is a first-grade spiritual plant, blood coral. When mature, it can be used to refine low-grade magic weapons.”
“That’s…”
There are several kinds of spiritual plants planted in the pool, and the growth conditions are closely related to water, which is an eye-opener for Lu Xuan.
Among the spiritual plants he cultivated previously, only the Pure Snow Lotus, which was first cultivated in Fang City, needs to grow in the spiritual spring. In addition, the Earth Fire Heart Lotus grows in the hot magma, and there is also the Dragon Bone Grass, which cannot be cultivated for the time being.
Apart from this, other spiritual plants grow in spiritual soil.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was very interested in the spiritual plants she cultivated, Song Sining took out a handful of golden sand from the storage bag. There were extremely weak spiritual energy fluctuations on the sand.
She sprinkled the golden sand on the edge of the pool, and soon a giant conch emerged from the bottom.
The conch stretched out its gray tentacles and swallowed up all the golden sand left on the edge of the shore.
“What is this? It feeds on sand?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“Reporting to Senior Lu, this conch is called Jusha Snail. It likes to eat all kinds of strange sand and rocks. If you encounter one in the sea, it is likely that there are rare and rare sands and rocks hidden inside.”
“After swallowing the sand and stones, Jusha Snail will keep the sand and stones in its body and use its special organs to slowly refine and transform it, thereby obtaining strange sand and stones with richer spiritual energy and fewer impurities.”
“Many monks raise sand snails to temper various kinds of sand and stones for forging magical weapons.”
Song Sining introduced in detail.
“In a sense, he is a born working beast.”
“I thought I had earned rare sand and stones, but in fact they were just leeks raised by the monks behind the scenes. They were cut off directly when they were ripe. In the end, both people and money were lost.”
Lu Xuan looked at the sand snail under his feet that was trying to swallow the golden sand, and thought to himself.
