“However, this is a price that must be paid in the early stage. Once more mutated triple-grade Burnt Yuan Trees appear, based on the Spirit Seed Condensing Method of the second-grade Burnt Yuan Trees, one could figure out the third-grade spirit seeds. After large-scale planting, the profits would naturally cover the early losses.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself, he carried on without pause, reviewing all the mutated Burnt Yuan Trees.
Among the thirty-six spirit plants, a total of nine are inferior goods, seventeen are ordinary Burnt Yuan Trees, six are of different species, and four were upgraded to three-grade.
“One in ten probability.”
“I wonder if the chances of promotion would increase if the spirit seeds of the mutated Burnt Yuan Trees were to be stimulated?”
Lu Xuan made a rough calculation, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and numbered these thirty-six Burnt Yuan Trees separately.
Although he already knew the results of the test, it was still necessary to record the calculation process, which only increased his downtime.
Next, he recorded the growth status of the ten ordinary Burnt Yuan Trees that were transplanted here.
He planned to record his observations on paper every once in a while. During the task handover, this could serve as the evidence of his hard work.
Of course, he was not entirely loafing around. In addition to regular cultivation, he also planned to do some experiments to test some characteristics of the new Burnt Yuan Tree varieties during this opportunity.
Like their capacity for cold and heat, whether they love light or fear it, or are in a state in between. The Dark Marrow Mushrooms and Yin Locust Trees, both of which feared light, had appeared among the spiritual plants he cultivated.
Additionally, he needed to understand the absorption limit of the mutated Burnt Yuan Trees’ spiritual power. Even though he could stay updated with their growth status and meet their subtle requirements at any time, he needed data to support this. This way, he could complete his task better and gain the trust of the female cultivator Wenwan.
There were also some things that were difficult to achieve under the current conditions, such as the ability to resist insects, the ability to resist Yin Qi, the ability to resist the aura of the demon envoy, and the like.
Of course, testing the basic habits was enough. Within the sect, they did not need to worry about demon insects or the invasion and destruction of demon envoy’s aura.
Therefore, while significantly improving the quality of his tasks, the things he needed to do every day were reduced.
Thus, he often stayed indoors, with his experimental content on the wooden table, and then cultivated his cultivation technique on his own.
When it was about that time, he would leave promptly and return to his cave mansion.
“Thank you, Crane Daoist friend.”
Lu Xuan gave a spirit fruit to the white spirit crane that had brought him back, stroked the clean feathers on its head, and said with a grin.
The spirit crane swallowed the spirit fruit and moved its head over, allowing Lu Xuan to mercilessly attack with his magical palm.
Immediately after, the spirit crane did not stay on the mountain where Lu Xuan’s cave mansion was, it soared towards the sky, spread its wings, and flew away.
“It seems that the efficiency of the Taming Beast Hall is quite high. In such a short period, they have already counted the traffic of cultivators in such a large sect.”
“I wonder if the small contacting magical tool I suggested is being developed.”
Lu Xuan glanced around his waist and saw only two or three spirit cranes not far away, which was less than half of the original number.
The cave mansion he chose was situated in a remote place of the sect, and on the hillside, only he and Xu Shaoze resided there. There were slightly more cultivators at the foot of the mountain, but only relatively speaking, two or three spirit cranes were enough to cope with them.
Watching the spirit crane fly away, Lu Xuan turned his head to open the courtyard door.
A round wind sparrow fledgling came rolling over, Lu Xuan reached out to touch it, but found that the light green round bird had hopped over to the side, looking at his palm with a face full of disgust.
He walked over, and the wind sparrow fledgling, just like a ball, resolutely bounced around on the ground, keeping a distance from Lu Xuan’s palm, the one that had previously petted the spirit crane.
Looking at the intense gaze of the wind sparrow fledgling, he finally came to his senses.
With a burst of Cloud Soaring Technique, he instantly appeared next to the wind sparrow fledgling, grabbing its soft belly, and ruthlessly teasing it a few times.
“You won’t let me touch you? I need to rub its scent into your body, leaving this sensation with you everywhere and all the time.”
As soon as it loosened its grip, the Wind Sparrow Fledgling rapidly beat its pale blue wings against its belly, feeling a sense of panic as if it had been dirtied. With a splash, it quickly flew into the spiritual spring within the Spirit Field Area.
“Civet, come here.”
Lu Xuan gestured towards the Cloud Leopard not far away.
“Meow-” Although the Cloud Leopard was still poised and calm, it had kept a cautious distance from Lu Xuan ever since he arrived. Hearing Lu Xuan’s call, with a mix of reserve, it let out a low growl and came to his hand, seemingly enjoying his caresses with a stoic expression.
Lu Xuan spent some time petting the two creatures before entering the spirit field.
“Vine, my dear vine, are you ripe today?”
He eagerly arrived at the Third-Grade Flood Dragon Vine. Every day when he returned, he had to check on it, in case he missed the best mature moment of the vine.
His mind concentrated on the vine, and a virtual progress bar appeared at the bottom.
“It’s full! It’s full!”
Lu Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
The long bar below had finally filled all the emptiness.
With anticipation, Lu Xuan carefully harvested the Flood Dragon Vine.
A stream of info flowed into his mind.
[Flood Dragon Vine, a third-grade spiritual plant, can be used to feed demon beasts such as Flood Dragons and Chi Dragons. After special treatment, it can also be used to forge whip-like or rope-like magical instruments. Meanwhile, it can serve as an ingredient for crafting some high-ranked rare elixir pills.]
The Flood Dragon Vine in his hand, reaching over half a meter, twists and turns like a slithering giant snake. There’s a constant undercurrent flowing within, and it feels cold to the touch.
“Superior Quality, the essence blood from those Jiaolong Pythons was not in vain.”
“The fact that it’s not Perfect Grade should be related to two factors. One, it was initially planted in the Linyang Market, with weaker Spiritual Energy concentration and purity than the Sect. Two, it hasn’t been watered with Flood Dragon Essence Blood all the time.”
Lu Xuan sighed at the difficulty of obtaining perfect-grade high-rank spirit plant, then turned his gaze to a white light group flickering faintly on the ground.
He took a deep breath and gently touched the surface of the white light group.
Immediately, the light group turned into numerous light points, forming a trail of light dragons that surged into his body.
A thought flashed across his mind, followed by a massive amount of information that rushed into his consciousness.
[Harvested a Third-Grade Flood Dragon Vine, obtained a Chapter of Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method “Transforming Dragon in the Void” (Part 1)] [Fifth-Rank Body Refinement Cultivation Method, “Transforming Dragon in the Void”, is a superior cultivation technique from the demonic race. After cultivation, it can greatly enhance the strength of the flesh body in all aspects including-strength, speed, constitution, reaction… After a successful cultivation, one can temporarily transform into a half-dragon form to amplify attack, defense, regeneration abilities etc., by several times, then entering into a weakened state after which relevant elixir pills are needed to replenish Vital Essence. ]
[Part 1 allows cultivation up to Foundation Establishment Realm.]
[Early stage of cultivation requires a variety of essence blood of the Jiao Dragon and Chi Dragon, along with other materials to prepare a bath solution for full body immersion.]
“A Fifth Rank Cultivation Method, unfortunately, I only have the first part, and
I don’t know when I’ll get the second part.”
“But what are these early stage cultivation conditions? I finally washed my hands off this with the golden plate, and collected enough essence blood to meet the growth needs of the Jiaolong vine, but now I have to repeat the old line, go and divest those Jiaolong and Chilong in the Thousand Dragon Lake?”
