Chapter 85 Hidden Spirit
After manipulating the four iron claw crab cubs until their claws became weak, Lu Xuan let them rest for the time being.
Throw it into the spiritual spring pool and throw a handful of spiritual rice in as a reward.
“This iron claw crab is much more energetic than the red-whiskered carp. It’s good to find something for them to do to kill their energy.”
Lu Xuan smiled and looked at the tired iron claw crab cub lying motionless at the bottom of the Lingquan Pond, and thought to himself.
He sprinkled the fine iron ore near the copper-bone bamboo and let them absorb it.
When I came to the four blood jade ginseng plants that had been planted, I felt like the thin skin on the outside of something covered with stone jade. As the ginseng seeds grew in size, I felt like it was about to burst.
Lu Xuan quickly peeled off the spiritual seeds condensed from four blood jade ginseng plants, processed them a little, and put them into a special jade box.
Four blood jade ginseng plants condensed twenty-eight spiritual seeds, each of which were as plump as blood jade.
What makes Lu Xuan slightly regretful is that when he picked the blood jade ginseng after condensing the spiritual seeds, he did not receive the light group reward.
“Probably when condensing spiritual seeds, a large amount of the spiritual power of mature blood jade ginseng needs to be consumed, making it ineffective and unable to be picked in its normal state, so there is no light group reward.”
Lu Xuan guessed, but being able to obtain twenty-eight blood jade ginseng spiritual seeds already made him quite satisfied.
What made him even more satisfied was yet to come. When he went to check the growth status of the second-grade dark marrow mushroom, Lu Xuan accidentally discovered that it had entered a fully mature stage.
“After more than a year of careful cultivation, I finally successfully planted the first second-grade spiritual plant.”
Lu Xuan was filled with emotion. The growth cycle of a non-grade spiritual plant ranges from several months to about a year for a first-grade spiritual plant and about two years for a second-grade spiritual plant.
As early as in the small courtyard in the North District of Fang City, he had already planted the Dark Marrow Mushroom and Sword Grass. After moving to the new courtyard for more than a year, and with his careful cultivation, the Mu Sheng Technique of Xiaocheng Realm accelerated their growth to a certain extent. Finally, it was cultivated and matured.
In the densely packed dark red hyphae, the dark marrow mushroom plant is hidden, and the dark red viscous liquid flows gurgling in the blood vessel-like channels.
Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the mature dark marrow sesame, and he immediately knew that it was of good quality.
“The concentration of spiritual energy in the spiritual field is average. Dark Marrow Mushroom is extremely photophobic and cannot be completely avoided. In addition, it is difficult to obtain high-quality decayed spiritual wood. Under such conditions, it is quite difficult to cultivate good second-grade spiritual plants. It’s not easy.”
Lu Xuan sighed.
His spiritual power passed through countless dark red hyphae. As if being stimulated, the dark red hyphae automatically split to both sides, revealing the dark marrow essence inside.
Lu Xuan carefully picked it and immediately put it into a wooden box wrapped in black cloth and put it in a storage bag.
The second-grade dark marrow mushroom can be used to refine certain body-refining elixirs, or it can be taken directly to enhance the monk’s physique. Lu Xuan has not yet decided how to use it.
At the moment, his focus is on the light group reward brought by Dark Essence Zhi.
With anticipation in his eyes, Lu Xuan looked at the position of Dark Essence Zhi in the wooden shed. A white light group the size of a fist was flickering slightly.
He gently stretched out his hand and touched the surface of the light group.
In an instant, countless tiny points of light flowed into Lu Xuan’s body like the Milky Way.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvest a dark marrow mushroom and obtain a third-grade magic weapon, the Hidden Spirit Cloak. 】
Thoughts passed by, and a piece of clothing as thin as cicada wings appeared in his hands.
The clothes were dark gold in color, with almost transparent threads appearing on the surface from time to time, and then disappearing suddenly.
[Hidden Spirit Cloak, a third-grade magic weapon, can converge and hide the monk’s aura and spiritual power. When the spiritual power is running, the monk can activate the magic weapon to hide his figure. The hiding time is short, during which a large amount of spiritual power is consumed and he can only move slowly. , will reveal itself when attacked. 】
“Third-grade magic weapon!”
Lu Xuan was happy in his heart. This was the second third-grade treasure he got after the third-grade Wugou Jade.
Lu Xuan raised his cultivation level to the seventh level of Qi training in a short period of time with ordinary qualifications. Naturally, he did not dare to expose his true cultivation level in a familiar environment.
As for the breath-containing technique that I obtained before, as my cultivation level gets higher and higher, I see more and more high-level Qi-training monks, and I may not be able to hide it.
This Hidden Spirit Cloak makes up for this point very well. The third-grade magic weapon has entered the scope of foundation building. Even if there are monks in the early or even middle stage of foundation building, it will be difficult to detect it.
Lu Xuan immediately took off his clothes and put the dark gold cloak on his body, and spiritual power poured into the cloak.
Suddenly, a huge suction force came from inside the hidden spirit cloak, and a large part of Lu Xuan’s spiritual power disappeared instantly.
The transparent silk threads on the dark gold cloak suddenly began to swim, and the speed became faster and faster. After a few moments, Lu Xuan felt that his eyes were suddenly covered with a thin layer of special substance.
The world in his eyes has a vague sense of alienation and unreality.
Lu Xuan came to the edge of Lingquan Pool and looked down.
In the Lingquan Pool, four iron claw crab cubs were lying quietly on the bottom of the pool. The water was clear, and wisps of spiritual energy were rising.
Lu Xuan’s reflection did not appear on the water.
Not far away, the Lynx that was riding on the clouds saw Lu Xuan suddenly disappear. He was stunned in place, with a rare change of emotion in his green eyes, and he was looking around at a loss.
“Ouch…”
It growled lowly, with urgency in its voice.
Lu Xuan quickly exited the invisible state, came to the cloud-walking lynx, and tugged at the two tufts of gray hair on the tips of its ears.
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx regained its graceful posture, looked at Lu Xuan coldly, and walked aside.
Lu Xuan summarized his feelings when using the third-grade hidden spirit cloak.
“The magic weapon can cover the whole body, but the range is limited and limited to around the body.”
“Spiritual energy is consumed too quickly. It’s still a bit reluctant to use a third-grade magic weapon in the foundation-building stage with a seventh-level Qi training level.”
“However, the effect is quite good. Being able to hide my body allows me to avoid some risks.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth, and he felt that his hiding behavior was somewhat familiar.
“What kind of transparent spiritual world…”
He complained and did not put away the Yinling Cloak immediately. Instead, he put it on his body and covered it with a green shirt.
The Hidden Spirit Cloak is as thin as a cicada’s wings and as heavy as nothing. It feels almost useless when worn on the body.
“The second-grade dark marrow mushroom is already mature, and the second-grade sword grass is probably about to mature as well.”
Lu Xuan looked at the simple and unpretentious second-grade sword grass on the side with his sword intent reduced, and thought in his heart.
The sword grass was now the same as an ordinary sword blade. It was about three feet long, completely black, and stood straight, with the tip of the sword piercing the sky.
“Hurry, hurry.”
Lu Xuan’s mind was focused on the sword grass, and he was looking forward to it when he saw the progress bar below it that was about to be full.
He inspected the Lingtian and found that in the area of Lingfeng grass, one hundred and twenty lantern grasses had entered the rapid maturity stage. Lu Xuan searched carefully and found 15 fully mature lantern grasses.
