Chapter 8 Collecting Interest
Night falls.
Lu Xuan dragged his slightly tired body back into the house.
Although there are not many spiritual plants in the spiritual field at present, there are eleven spiritual fireflies that are about to mature, ten newly planted seedlings, two eclipse trees, and one red cloud pine.
However, due to the extremely sophisticated cultivation methods, the Spiritual Rain Technique and the Earth Drawing Technique were used round after round, so at the end of the day, even Lu Xuan, a qi training monk, would feel tired.
However, he enjoyed it. Compared with watching the many spiritual plants growing vigorously, this bit of fatigue was nothing.
He had a simple dinner, rested for a while, then sat on the wooden bed, running his skills and recovering his spiritual power.
The sudden surge in cultivation caused stagnation in the movement of spiritual energy in his body, and he had to adapt and adjust.
Suddenly, he noticed that the formation disk next to him suddenly glowed brightly.
A miniature spiritual energy shield appeared on the array disk, and somewhere in the shield, a faint spiritual light flickered like ripples.
Lu Xuan looked serious. He remembered the location of the flash of spiritual light. The sword talisman slipped into the palm of his left hand. He stood up suddenly, came to the gray stone wall, and jumped.
Crossing the stone wall, Lu Xuan’s sharp eyes saw a black shadow twisting its small body and quickly fleeing into the distance.
Seeing the small black shadow trying to invade his spiritual field, Lu Xuan was furious, how could he let it escape so easily.
The spiritual energy in his body circulated rapidly, and soon, a faint golden sword energy condensed instantly, like a stream of light, roaring towards the small black shadow.
The black shadow seemed to be solidified by the sword’s energy, slowed down a lot, and was cut into two pieces by the golden sword’s energy.
The light dissipated and the surroundings became dark.
Lu Xuan clasped the Sword Qi Talisman tightly and looked around. When he saw that there was nothing strange, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He came to the severed black shadow, picked up the two remains, and returned to the yard.
As soon as he entered the house, a gray and black grass rope swam to Lu Xuan’s feet and tapped his knee, signaling that something foreign had invaded the spiritual field.
“I’ve already extinguished it, and your warning just arrived. My reaction speed is pretty good.”
Lu Xuan looked at the straw puppet that had retracted its straw rope after reminding him, dumbfounded.
Under the dim candlelight, he could clearly see the remains of the black shadow in his hand.
The whole body is black, the thickness of fingers, and there are wrinkles of different shades on the body. It is the black budworm that Lu Xuan once found in “Common Hazardous Monster Insects and Their Solutions”.
“Once is not enough, do it again. Do you think my spiritual field is your back garden?”
Lu Xuan controlled the Gengjin Sword Technique to cut the two parts of the Black Bud Insect’s body into pieces, and then used the Fireball Technique to burn it into black ash. Only then did the anger in his heart completely disappear.
“Fortunately, this protective formation worked and blocked the invasion of the black budworm in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous…”
He was frightened when he thought that the spiritual plants in the spiritual field might be parasitized by the eggs of the black budworm, thus affecting his light group reward.
He increasingly felt that spending a lot of money to buy this second-hand formation was an extremely wise decision.
The appearance of the black budworm was just a small disturbance in the peaceful farming life. In the next few days, nothing happened again.
Lu Xuan lived a simple but fulfilling life. He carefully cultivated the spiritual plants using the Spiritual Rain Technique and the Earth Drawing Technique every day, and used the Fireball Technique to stimulate the Red Cloud Pine from time to time.
I didn’t go out much for a few days, and only Zhang Hong came once.
He was about to accompany the Wang family monks and hundreds of loose cultivators into the wilderness to cultivate the newly emerged secret realm. Before leaving, he came to say goodbye to Lu Xuan and asked him to help take care of his wife and children at home.
Other than that, Lu Xuan basically had no contact with anyone else.
Among the eight plants, three were of ordinary quality and five were of good quality.
Among the eight white light groups that appeared, three light groups were opened that rewarded cultivation, which added a year of cultivation to Lu Xuan and increased his spiritual power a lot.
Among the other five, two are Earth Induction Technique and Gengjin Sword Technique. With these two experience packs, Lu Xuan has a deeper understanding of these two techniques, his execution speed is faster, and his power is also much higher.
There are three more. The three talismans that were opened are all of the first grade. They are the sword energy talisman, the speed-increasing swift talisman, and the defensive earth armor talisman. Lu Xuan kept them all in case of emergency.
After picking these eight mature fireflies, a large area was vacated in the spiritual field. Lu Xuan carefully planted the remaining ten fireflies seeds. Soon, tender green shoots sprouted, trembling gently in the breeze. .
The ten plants planted before have grown a lot, each one is about three inches tall. The leaves have turned dark green, and the fluorescent spots on them have become more and more prominent.
The last three fireflies did not keep Lu Xuan waiting for long. One day, each of them performed the spirit rain surgery, and the faint progress bar under the three fireflies reached its full limit.
After concentrating his mind, Lu Xuan discovered an unexpected joy.
“Good quality mature fireweed.”*2 “High quality mature fireweed.”
“Finally, we have cultivated a high-quality firefly.”
Lu Xuan held onto this even more fluorescent firefly plant, feeling happy in his heart.
There were twenty-four plants in total, and after careful cultivation using the Spiritual Rain Technique, one of the highest quality finally appeared.
Although the probability is extremely small, Lu Xuan understands.
After all, the spiritual energy of his own spiritual field is thin, and when he learned the immediate status of the firefly grass, it was already in its late stage. It did not improve the quality much and it was difficult to make a qualitative improvement.
“If you want to have a large number of high-quality spiritual plants, or a higher level of perfect quality, at least two conditions need to be met.”
“The concentration of spiritual power, the meticulous cultivation of spiritual seeds from planting to the mature stage.”
Lu Xuan concluded.
In the spiritual field, three white light groups flickered slightly, attracting Lu Xuan’s attention.
“Harvest a Spirit Firefly Grass and gain half a year of cultivation.”
It’s about cultivation again. I have no motivation to practice hard.
Lu Xuan sighed as he felt the surging spiritual power appearing out of thin air in his body.
“Harvest a Spirit Firefly Grass and obtain a first-grade talisman to dispel evil.”
A dark yellow talisman appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand. There was an evil ghost pattern in the middle of the talisman, suppressed by two chains composed of strange lines.
“Evil-dispelling talisman, a first-grade talisman. After use, it can purify and drive away evil spirits within a certain range. It is rare.”
A thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind, and he carefully put away the evil-dispelling talisman with a pattern of evil spirits.
The last white light group was the one of high quality. The quality of the spiritual plant was one of the factors that affected the richness of the reward. Lu Xuan had great expectations for it.
The light group turned into countless light spots and poured into Lu Xuan’s mind. A thought flashed through his mind, and a technique appeared in his sea of consciousness.
“”Breathe Concentration Method”, after practicing it, you can control your own breath and cultivation, and have quite good concealment ability.”
