Opening the courtyard door, the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, which had been lying on Lu Xuan’s shoulder, jumped down and walked to the Lingquan Pond without looking back, staring closely at the single red-bearded carp seedling in the pond.
Lu Xuan swept around the spiritual field. Everything was as usual. The grass puppet was patrolling the entire spiritual field very responsibly.
He came to the area where he had previously cultivated disease-causing spiritual plants and took out the five copper-bone bamboos.
After using the Earth Drawing Technique, the structure of the spiritual soil quietly changed, revealing a crack that fit perfectly with the roots of the copper-bone bamboo seedlings without any gaps.
After all five copper-bone bamboo seedlings were planted, Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the purple-red bamboo. Suddenly, a piece of information about copper-bone bamboo poured into his sea of consciousness.
[Copper Bone Bamboo is a second-grade spiritual plant. The cultivated bamboo is very tough and can be used to refine magic weapons. It is especially suitable for refining flying swords. It can also be used as a material for some special elixirs. 】
[Adding copper-iron ore during the cultivation process will promote the growth rate of copper-bone bamboo, and the spiritual mineral effect will be better. The smaller the size of the ore, the faster the absorption and digestion speed of copper-bone bamboo. 】
[If you have a body of bronze bones, how can you break through yourself and grow taller? 】
“Copper and iron ores are needed, and spiritual ores are more effective.”
“Although the cultivation conditions are a bit weird, fortunately it is not very difficult and is much easier than the third-grade dragon vine.”
Copper Tieling Mine is quite common in casual cultivator markets, and the price is not very expensive.
Lu Xuan first cast a round of spiritual rain, and strands of spiritual raindrops fell down and merged into the spiritual soil near the copper-bone bamboo, allowing it to be absorbed by the roots of the bamboo.
He planned to let the copper-bone bamboo adapt to the spiritual soil environment first, and then buy the spiritual ore in a few days to speed up the cultivation.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan was patrolling the spiritual field, and Wu Wenjing’s call came from outside.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, come over and have a drink!”
Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled, took out a piece of dried monster meat from the kitchen, and took the cloud-walking lynx to the home of the monk surnamed Wu.
“Fellow Daoist Wu, what’s on your mind?”
After drinking a few glasses of warm spiritual wine, Lu Xuan asked aloud when he saw that the old man was absent-minded and his eyes were wandering.
“Do you know, fellow Daoist Lu, what’s going on in the city recently?”
“I have been staying at home to take care of the spiritual plants and have not gone out in the past few days.”
Lu Xuan shook his head and said he was unclear.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, it can be said that he doesn’t hear anything outside the window and only focuses on cultivating spiritual plants…”
Wu Wenjing sighed and continued.
“There are rumors that the group of monks who opened up the secret realm of the Wang family have entered the core of the secret realm, but the restriction is difficult to break, so they invited other family forces in Fang City to intervene.”
“The outer areas of the secret realm are therefore open to the outside world. Many casual cultivators are eager to enter the new secret realm to find opportunities.”
“So Fellow Daoist Wu is unwilling to be lonely and wants to take a dip in the muddy waters?”
Lu Xuan looked at Wu Wenjing, half smiling.
“Yes, I did have some thoughts.”
Wu Wenjing smiled bitterly.
“The monsters and beasts in the peripheral area have been almost eliminated during the Wang family’s exploration. It is also the time when resources are at their highest, so many monks want to find out.”
“Anyway, I don’t have any ideas.”
Lu Xuan saw that Wu Wenjing seemed to want to invite him to enter the periphery of the new secret realm, and directly pointed out his attitude.
“Even if there are no evil beasts in the outer area, is Wu Daoyou confident enough to seize cultivation resources from other monks?”
“Fellow Taoist has experienced far more than me. You should know that sometimes fellow humans are much scarier than evil beasts.”
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for reminding me. It’s me who got caught.”
“In the past few decades, I have been able to calm my mind and not think about any chance treasures. But when I really encounter such an opportunity, I will always have some illusions in my heart.”
“The deadline is approaching, but I still can’t give up after all.”
Lu Xuan was silent, not knowing how to persuade him. He understood the situation of the monk surnamed Wu. Qi training monks have a lifespan of more than a hundred years, and no one can accept that they are getting closer to death.
If you see a chance to change your destiny, you will be like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw and trying your best to get out.
He was lucky in his heart that he was rewarded with a white light group for cultivating spiritual plants. Otherwise, he would probably be like Wu Wenjing, floating in the sea of hardships in cultivation, unable to withstand any wind and waves.
“I’d better just stay in the city. I’m old and weak. I’m not as good as before, and my fighting skills have fallen behind for many years. If I really want to go to the secret realm, I guess a random monk of the same level can deal with me.”
The old man said with a wry smile, his eyes gloomy.
Lu Xuan said nothing and raised his wine glass.
Wu Wenjing clinked glasses and looked at Lu Xuan.
“Sometimes I really don’t know how to evaluate you. You are obviously young, but you look more like an old man than me.”
“With such a good opportunity, you can still maintain your state of mind and remain unmoved. You are much more stable than me.”
“Haha, that’s what it means to have no desires and no demands.”
“It’s enough for me to be an ordinary spiritual planter safely.”
Lu Xuan maintained his character very well.
After the two of them had had enough wine and food, Lu Xuan returned home and continued to plant spiritual plants. By controlling the instant status of the spiritual plants, he took good care of them.
Another five days passed quickly.
In the past few days, Lu Xuan bought a pound of ungraded ore from the casual cultivator market, and first tried to see what effect it would have if mixed with copper-bone bamboo.
During this period, of the nine blood jade ginseng plants left, five were mature, three were of good quality, and two were of high quality.
The five white light groups that appear also bring rewards.
[Harvest a blood jade ginseng plant and obtain a second-grade elixir, Xue Po Pill. 】*3【Harvest a blood jade ginseng plant and obtain the second-grade secret skill blood-burning arrow. 】*2 Five light balls, Lu Xuan got three second-grade blood pills, and kept them in the storage bag, waiting for the opportunity to use the burning blood arrow.
After absorbing all the two Blood-Burning Arrow experience packs, his understanding of this secret technique has improved further.
Because he was reluctant to waste his essence and blood, although Lu Xuan had not used it yet, he felt that the release speed and power of the secret technique had increased a lot.
For the remaining four blood jade ginseng plants, he planned to try to cultivate blood jade ginseng spiritual species from them.
After the cultivation world spiritual plants mature naturally, if they are not picked and continue to grow for a period of time, some will wither directly and merge into the world.
Some will gather the essence of spiritual plants to condense spiritual seeds, which will be spread through various channels. When encountering sufficient spiritual power and a suitable environment, new spiritual plants will sprout and grow.
The naturally condensed spiritual seeds are of varying quality and small in quantity, and may not necessarily be able to cultivate spiritual plants.
The seed condensation method that the monks have summarized after countless years can not only condense a larger number of spiritual seeds, but also ensure the quality of the spiritual seeds, so that most of them can be successfully planted.
Lu Xuan left four blood jade ginseng plants behind just to try out whether the seed coagulation method taught to him by Baicaotang was feasible.
