Chapter 236: Drunken Immortal Gourd |
"Evil spirits in the cultivation world are elusive and notorious for their sinister methods, even more challenging to deal with than beasts of the same level."
"I already have a third-grade Pure Jade to detect the traces of evil spirits, but its effectiveness in harming them is limited."
"A second-grade Purification Curse can purify evil spirits to some extent, but it can only be used against lower-level ones. Now, this Cloud Mountain Jade Scroll can cause significant harm to evil spirits, compensating for the shortcomings of Pure Jade."
Lu Xuan stored the Cloud Mountain Jade Scroll in his storage bag and continued patrolling the Spirit Field.
At the Sword Cultivation Gourd area, there were still four cyan-patterned gourds on the vines. Lu Xuan approached the gourd frame constructed by the second-hand flying swords and inspected them one by one.
When his spiritual awareness approached the gourds, they seemed to react. The gently swaying gourds in the breeze instantly increased their frequency, emitting a clear sword hum from within.
Lu Xuan even sensed a powerful and sharp sword intent inside, as if it could pierce through him at any moment.
"Hmm, this one is matured."
The progress bars beneath the four gourds were at least half full. The bottom one, perhaps nourished by more sword energy, had a completely filled progress bar.
"Good quality, not bad."
A third-grade spiritual plant, nurtured by first-grade flying swords and time spent in the blessed land, yielding a Sword Cultivation Gourd of good quality satisfied Lu Xuan.
He stored the gourd and shifted his focus to the white light cluster hanging on the vines.
The white light cluster flickered slightly. Upon touching it gently, it transformed into countless almost invisible strands of sword energy, infiltrating Lu Xuan's body and causing a slight tingling sensation on his skin.
Then, a thought flashed through his mind.
【Harvested a third-grade Sword Cultivation Gourd, obtained a fourth-grade talisman - Roaring Sea Sword Talisman.】
The thought vanished, and a non-golden, non-jade talisman appeared in Lu Xuan's hand. It resembled a small sword tip, exuding surging waves of sword intent.
【Roaring Sea Sword Talisman, fourth-grade talisman. When activated, it instantly shoots out endless waves of formidable sword intent. A full-powered strike can severely wound or even kill mid to late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.】
【Can control the amount of activated sword energy, and the sword energy cannot be replenished.】
"Another fourth-grade Roaring Sea Sword Talisman."
Lu Xuan took out a previously obtained one from his storage bag. During his time in the Langyue blessed land, he had used half of the sword intent from the talisman to block three fellow disciples attempting to snatch Phoenix Wood.
Compared to the newly acquired one, he could clearly sense that the sea wave sword intent in the previously obtained talisman had thinned significantly.
However, he knew that even with only half of the sword intent, it remained his most powerful attack method.
Therefore, for the repeated rewards from the light cluster, he was quite satisfied.
He continued his patrol of the Spirit Field.
Other spiritual plants in the Spirit Field had grown considerably. The second-grade Ice Lotus Fruit and Flame Fruit were now in the mature stage, bearing fruits.
Around the Ice Lotus Fruit tree, a chill filled the air, and the azure spiritual fruits hung down, exuding astonishing coldness.
In contrast, the Flame Fruit, with its red fruits, looked like clusters of burning flames from a distance.
One ice and one fire, responding from a distance, Lu Xuan already envisioned the dual experience of tasting them.
In the Spirit Field, other spiritual plants grew remarkably well. The second-grade Floating Cloud Grass danced gracefully like immortal robes, standing alone, while on the mountain peak, the second-grade Sun Fragrance Fruit faced the scorching sun, and its golden flowers chased the sun's trajectory.
The third-grade Moonlit Grass calmly stayed in the wooden shed Lu Xuan had built, absorbing the silvery moonlight at night, transforming it into pure spiritual liquid.
As for the fourth-grade Profound Insect Vine and Earth Fire Heart Lotus, their growth was not as prominent, but upon inspection, Lu Xuan learned that their development was still satisfactory.
After a complete patrol, Lu Xuan returned to his dwelling.
While obtaining rare spiritual species in the blessed land was valuable, he knew it was an opportunity that couldn't be forced. On the other hand, controlling and understanding spiritual plants were within his grasp.
Knowing the needs and conditions of the spiritual plants, coupled with the generous rewards from the light cluster, made farming his foundation.
For the next month, he mostly stayed on the mountain peak, cultivating numerous spiritual plants and nurturing spiritual beasts.
In his leisure time, he practiced techniques like the Grand Five Elements Technique, occasionally meeting nearby fellow disciples or spending time with Liusu and others.
Perhaps due to his low-profile approach, after offending the three handsome young men in the Langyue blessed land, the expected troubles did not arrive. His days were calm, without any ripples.
Lu Xuan was pleased with this outcome and farmed at his own pace, practicing the Earth Elemental technique.
In the Spirit Field paved with soil, rich and pure earth spiritual energy surged as Lu Xuan used the Earth Attraction technique, causing cracks to appear silently.
He took out dozens of faintly blue-glowing slender spiritual seeds from his storage bag and placed them one by one into the cracks in the earth.
These were the Water Firefly Grass seeds that had been stored for some time.
Since he currently lacked high-grade spiritual seeds and leaving the soil Spirit Field empty would be a waste, Lu Xuan decided to plant all the Water Firefly Grass seeds in the Spirit Field paved with soil.
Finally, more than eighty Water Firefly Grass seeds occupied the entire Spirit Field. Above the Spirit Field, a faint misty rain fell, permeating the soil, nourishing the slender blue spiritual seeds.
After planting all the Water Firefly Grass seeds, Lu Xuan casually checked the four Yulan in another Spirit Field.
After nurturing them with his spiritual awareness day and night for over a month, the Spirit Pine seeds had already taken root and sprouted.
At this moment, the Spirit Pine looked like a small mushroom, with pine needles so tender they seemed to release water when squeezed. Sensing Lu Xuan's approach, the small tree swayed gently, causing an almost imperceptible sound of pine waves.
The Spirit Pine seedlings were lively and exuded a sense of vividness, conveying a very intimate feeling to Lu Xuan.
"It truly deserves to be a fourth-grade spiritual plant; it seems to possess a certain level of spiritual wisdom."
Lu Xuan sighed. After nurturing and cultivating the four Spirit Pine seedlings with spiritual awareness for some time, he continued patrolling the Spirit Field.
"Another Sword Cultivation Gourd has matured? And it's of superior quality!"
Approaching the area with Sword Cultivation Gourds, Lu Xuan keenly sensed that beneath the vines, a cyan gourd had fully matured.
He carefully picked it, concentrated his mind, and
then, a thought flashed through his mind.
【Sword Cultivation Gourd, third-grade spiritual plant...】
As the gourd was picked, a white light cluster quietly emerged, twinkling faintly and attracting Lu Xuan to pick it up.
With a gentle touch, the light cluster burst open, condensing into a river of light that flowed into Lu Xuan's body.
Another thought flashed through his mind.
【Harvested a third-grade Sword Cultivation Gourd, obtained a fourth-grade treasure - Drunken Immortal Gourd.】
An amber gourd suddenly appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.
