“Third-Class Golden Marrow Jade Fluid!”
Lu Xuan, looking at the brilliantly golden and viscous liquid in his hand, felt joy in his heart.
Without hesitating, he directly placed the droplet of Golden Marrow Jade Liquid into his mouth.
As soon as the Golden Marrow Jade Fluid entered his stomach, Lu Xuan immediately felt a warm current flow through his limbs and body, seeping into the surfaces of his bones, forming a thin film that enveloped his entire skeleton.
A faint tingling sensation arose from everywhere in his body, as if countless hair tips were gently brushing over the surface of his bones.
As the tingling sensation slowly faded away, the external thin layer was completely absorbed by the bones, and Lu Xuan sensed a significant strengthening of his skeleton.
After obtaining the “LiuLi Bone-Tempering Method”, his Qi Practicing Stage cultivation technique had made very good progress after absorbing several Experience Packages. As for the part related to the Foundation Establishment Stage of the method, Lu Xuan had yet to cultivate properly.
Under the influence of the “LiuLi Bone-Tempering Method”, his bones had become like white jade, their hardness surpassing many First and Second Grade Magical Artifacts.
Now, with the addition of this droplet of Golden Marrow Jade Fluid, the strength of his bones rose to a higher level; Lu Xuan estimated they were not inferior to most Second Grade Magical Artifacts.
Upon concentrating, he could perceive that the Golden Marrow Jade Fluid was evenly distributed in every part of his skeleton, slowly nourishing and replenishing them, producing an internal warm feeling within his bones.
Lu Xuan felt satisfied and inspected the other four Copper Bone Bamboos. The progress bar beneath them almost reached full. Considering that harvesting in advance could affect the quality of the Copper Bone Bamboo, he decided to wait a few more days.
As for the mature Copper Bone Bamboo, he directly put it into his Storage bag, considering whether an opportunity to divest it would arise.
Lu Xuan continued to inspect his Spirit Field, understanding the growth state of each Spirit Plant, fulfilling their every subtle need.
“It’s time to find a new species of Spirit Plant.”
He glanced at the Spirit Field and thought to himself.
As the Second Grade Qingmiao Spirit Tea and Copper Bone Bamboo successively matured, and the Third-grade Fantasy Smoke Fruit and Flood Dragon Vine also entered the maturity stage, the variety of Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field abruptly decreased. Lu Xuan decided to go to the Agricultural Department Hall again to buy a high-rank Spiritual Seed.
The next day, he woke up early, carefully cultivated every Spirit Plant in the Spirit Field, activated the Hidden Fog Maze Array, and rapidement surges covered his cave dwelling with dense white fog.
Lu Xuan arrived at the foot of the mountain where three Spirit Cranes were not far away, waiting for the cultivators who needed them.
The moment they saw Lu Xuan, the three Spirit Cranes simultaneously let out a joyous cry, quickly fluttered their wings, and came in front of Lu Xuan.
“Hey, don’t nudge around!”
Lu Xuan quickly said, looking at the three Spirit Cranes that squeezed into a bundle.
If he was not clear that he had just helped the entire Linghe tribe solve a big problem, he would have thought that these three Spirit Cranes were competing with each other to get customers.
Under his persuasion, the three Spirit Cranes calmed down. Their distinct black and white eyes stare at Lu Xuan, as if fearing he would not choose them.
“You.”
Closing his eyes, Lu Xuan randomly pointed at a Spirit Crane and said.
The Spirit Crane he pointed at raised its little head proudly.
Seeing that the other two Spirit Cranes seemed a bit upset, Lu Xuan jumped on the back of the Spirit Crane, which was already somewhat impatient.
“To the Agricultural Department Hall.”
In less than a quarter, the Spirit Crane landed on a flat ground near the Agricultural Department Hall.
Lu Xuan took out a Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and paid the Spirit Crane.
The Spirit Crane shook its long neck, let out a clear cry, indicating refusal.
“Take it quickly, this is for the fare. You can’t just give me a ride for free.”
Lu Xuan placed the Spirit Stone in a cloth bag under the Spirit Crane’s neck and turned around to leave.
“Croak!”
The Spirit Crane rushed over, flapped its white wings at Lu Xuan, held the Spirit Stone in its mouth, and cried.
Lu Xuan changed directions, and the Spirit Crane followed closely behind him, looking like it wouldn’t give up until he took the Spirit Stone back.
“Alright, then thank you for your kindness.”
Seeing the Spirit Crane’s insistence, Lu Xuan reluctantly took the Spirit Stone from its beak.
The Spirit Crane let out a crisp cry, bid farewell to Lu Xuan, and shot off into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.
“I didn’t expect this ride on the Spirit Crane to be free, saving me a Spirit Stone.”
Lu Xuan felt the joy of freeloading and cheerfully headed toward the grand entrance of the Agricultural Department Hall.
Behind him, a young monk got off the Spirit Crane. Seeing this scene, he initially wanted to give the Spirit Stone to the Spirit Crane, but then he pulled his hand back.
“Could it be that the Taming Beast Hall is being charitable and no longer charges Spirit Stones for riding Spirit Cranes?”
He followed suit and headed straight for the Agricultural Department Hall.
Suddenly, a wave of pain came from behind. The young monk turned around and saw the Spirit Crane he had just ridden looking at him fiercely.
When the young monk turned his head, the Spirit Crane used its long beak to snatch the Spirit Stone from his hand, and even gave him a contemptuous look before leaving.
“We’re both Outer Sect Disciples and we both rode Spirit Cranes, so why is there such a difference?”
The young monk stood dumbfounded on the spot, his eyes full of confusion.
“Junior Brother Lu, you’re here? Haven’t seen you at the Agricultural Department Hall for a while.”
Just as Lu Xuan entered the hall, the old farmer monk came out to meet him, greeting him with a beaming smile.
“Hello, senior brother.”
“How’s the cultivation of the two Sword Grass plants, Junior Brother Lu? Is it smooth?”
The old farmer monk nodded and asked curiously.
“So far they are growing well, and there have been no problems.”
Lu Xuan replied truthfully.
“That’s good, Elder Shen has high expectations for those two Sword Grass plants you’re cultivating!”
The old farmer monk laughed and continued.
“Junior Brother Lu, did you come here to find another Spirit Seed?”
“Yes, please help me recommend one, preferably a third-grade or above Spirit Seed.”
Lu Xuan said softly.
The rewards brought by a First Grade Spirit Plant are already like chicken ribs to him. As for the Second Grade Spirit Plants, he already has several in the cave. Planting new ones now, by the time they grow naturally, he might have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
By then, the rewards from mature Second Grade Spirit Plants might not be as valuable.
Therefore, except for Spirit Firefly Grass, Lu Xuan decided to reduce the planting of low-grade spiritual plants and try to focus on growing third-grade ones.
“It seems that I still underestimated Junior Brother Lu’s skills in the Path of Spiritual Plants. You truly are a Spirit Plant Master who can cultivate Sword Grass.”
The old farmer monk sighed. Lu Xuan had exchanged a third-grade Sword Nurturing Gourd Spirit Seed from the Agricultural Department Hall not long ago, and now he plans to exchange a new third-grade Spirit Plant.
It’s as if cultivating third-grade Spirit Plants is nothing to him.
“Junior Brother Lu, these two Jade Books record the majority of the Sect’s third-grade and fourth-grade Spirit Plants. Apart from some unique species exclusive to our Sect, the rest of the spirit plants are all included. You can choose for yourself.”
He handed over two Jade Books to Lu Xuan, speaking gently.
Lu Xuan nodded and slowly browsed the Jade Books.
For each page he turned, the 3D image of a Spirit Plant would appear on the Jade Book, so lifelike.
At the bottom right were some simple information about the type, grade, and uses of each Spirit Plant..
