The spiritual energy coursed within him, and under the guidance and control of the Earth Pulling Technique, minute changes began to occur in the spirit soil in front of him.
Three long, slender fissures appeared, and Lu Xuan pushed three Moon Rain
Grass Seeds into the fissures.
Concentrating his mind on the spiritual seeds embedded in the shallow layer of spirit soil, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
[Moon Rain Grass, a Grade Three Spiritual Plant, can be used to nourish demon beasts when matured, providing significant benefits to their growth, and can also be used as a material for refining certain elixirs.]
[Its natural aversion to daylight causes the plant to condense its essence at the roots and stems, rendering it partially wilted during the day.
At night, the plant recovers, absorbing moonlight spiritual power, and condenses the moonlight spiritual liquid when there is ample spiritual energy, which dissipates at dawn.]
[The best time for cultivation is midnight.]
“Another spiritual plant that despises sunlight, and it grows by absorbing moonlight spiritual power.”
Lu Xuan marvelled at the diversity of spiritual plants.
After the second-grade Dark Marrow Mushroom and the still-growing second- grade Yin Locust Tree, another variety that resisted sunlight appeared among the plants he had sown.
He looked up at the sky and, using the Tree Life Spell at the Great Achievement Realm, controlled the grass and trees around the Moon Rain Grass Seeds to grow towards them. After a while, this would serve as a natural barrier. After planting the three-grade Moon Dew Grass, Lu Xuan casually found a vacant Spirit Field, applied the Earth Pulling Technique, and buried five Rainbow Garment Grass seeds in the spirit soil.
A thought flashed by, and information about the Rainbow Garment Grass appeared.
[Rainbow Garment Grass, a Second-Level Spirit Plant, when mature, the leaves flutter softly, like a celestial being’s feathered robe, dancing elegantly.]
[After maturation, it can be tanned into silk, used to weave magic robes, offering a natural lightening effect.]
[Dancing with a clear shadow, as if in the human world.]
“Hmm, a dancing spiritual plant.”
Lu Xuan left a comment and continued planting five more Sun Fruits.
[Sun Fruit, a Second-Level Spirit Plant, when mature, the spirit fruit naturally exudes a pleasant fragrance. Consuming it can make a person’s mind lively and temporarily enhance a cultivator’s comprehension ability.]
[It loves sunlight exposure; the stronger and longer the exposure, the longer
the fragrance of the spirit fruit will last.]
[Sun, sun, sun, sunbathing for ten and a half days.]
“This is the first time I’ve encountered a spiritual plant that exceptionally loves sunlight.”
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, took the five Sun Fruit seeds out of the Spirit
Soil, and with agility, bounded to the top of the mountain.
“This position, being the highest terrain and without any other spiritual plants as shelter, gets the most sunlight, enough for your sunbathing.
He planted the five Sun Fruit Seeds on a flat spot on the mountaintop, and spoke in a soft voice.
He patrolled the Spirit Field, carefully examining each spiritual plant, and applying various related spells, satisfying every minutiae of the spiritual plants’ needs.
The next day, Lu Xuan got up early, adorned in the golden morning light, and as per his usual practice, patrolled the Spirit Field once.
Then, he returned to the courtyard, ate a few spirit fruits, meditated quietly for a while, asked the two minors and the Grass Puppet to keep a good watch on the house, and then left the mountain.
After advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had already acquired his spiritual seed resources. He could also apply for three cultivation techniques suitable for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although he could obtain them from the light clusters brought by various spiritual plants, he wouldn’t miss out on this opportunity for a free ride.
Not to mention, the Sky Sword Sect is a well-known great sect in the Cultivation World. The cultivation techniques kept in the Scripture Treasury Pavilion are hard to find elsewhere.
Using his Identity Plaque, he successfully entered the seventh level of the Scripture Treasury Pavilion.
He had learned that the third and fourth levels contained various Foundation Establishment Stage techniques, formula methods, and bizarre skills, which were not available to anyone other than Inner Sect disciples.
He climbed the stone stairs all the way up, passed through several strong prohibitions, and arrived at the third level.
The walls are lined with many Jade Slips and Jade Books, ancient texts, etc., all of which are kept under special prohibitions. Without the permission of spiritual objects in the Scripture Treasury Pavilion, one cannot open them to read the details of the cultivation techniques, and could only understand the outline.
Lu Xuan looked around on the third and fourth floors, weighed his options, and finally chose a cultivation technique, a sword technique, and a light-body technique.
The cultivation technique is called “The Great Five Elements”, which is a continuation of the “Little Five Elements Power” he chose when he first joined the sect. There is no need to waste time switching spiritual power.
The cultivation technique is suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators and can be practiced all the way to the Nascent Soul Stage.
The cultivated spiritual power is balanced and can be practiced in various complex spiritual power environments.
It also comes with several intermediate Five Element Spells. Their strength and complexity far surpass the basic formula methods that Lu Xuan previously mastered.
When planting more and more high-grade spiritual plants, sometimes, the basic five elements formula method gradually becomes inadequate, unable to meet the needs of spiritual plants all at once. The intermediate formula method in “The Great Five Elements” makes up for this point.
Aside from that, it also contains the Five Elements Escape Method, which allows him to freely move in the five elemental environments. Considering Lu Xuan’s cautious nature, he is naturally very satisfied with this.
The sword technique is called “Four Seasons Sword Art”, which contains four different sword techniques named after the four seasons, each with different intentions.
The Spring Rain Sword Law is continuously toxic, the Summer Day Sword Law is violent and manic, the Autumn Wind Sword Law is desolate and deadly , and the Winter Snow Sword Law is cold and bone-chilling, each with distinctive features.
“Four Seasons Sword Art” can change in myriad ways at a high level of practice, and the four sword techniques can be switched freely, making it difficult for the opponent to defend.
Besides the distinctive features of the sword technique itself, Lu Xuan also considered its role in cultivating Sword Grass.
The first Sword Grass was mainly nurtured by the Golden Sword Technique and eventually obtained a mature Sword Grass of good quality.
Once the two Sword Grass plants currently planted in the Spirit Field mature, Sishen Hall Master Shen Ye, who will receive the Sword Grass Seeds, once promised him that if the quality of the two new Sword Grass plants is normal, he will be introduced into the series of spiritual plants based on Sword Grass. By then, there is a high probability of encountering high-grade spiritual plants like the Sword Peacock. Even though the Golden Sword Technique has reached the Grandmaster Realm, a first grade sword technique still seems inferior.
Lu Xuan chose the versatile “Four Seasons Sword Art” by considering these factors.
The light-body technique is called the Floating Light Technique. At the third grade level, when it is successfully cultivated, one moves like floating light, disappearing in a flash, extremely fast.
After he made his choice, his spiritual sense penetrated into the dazzling starry river on the top of the Scripture Treasury Pavilion.
Then, the light dots flowing slowly in the starry river poured down, fell onto the three Jade Slips in Lu Xuan’s hand, and the prohibitions on the Jade Slips melted away as quickly as snow under sunlight.
“Now everything is balanced.”
“Offense is the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pill in the Dantian, along with the newly acquired ‘Four Seasons Sword Art’, and middle-level Five Elements Spells.”
“Defense: The flesh body obtained from the ‘Transforming Dragon in the Void’ and the ‘ Luili Bone Smelting Technique’. For Demon Envoy, I have the Immaculate Jade such that the ordinary Demon Envoy can’t approach, and I also have the Substitute Evil Infant which can block a fatal blow.”
“For stealth and escape, I have the Rank Three Concealed Spirit Wear which can hide my body shape, Five Elements Escape Method, and the Floating Light Technique.”
“You could say that I’m advancing in all aspects.”
“Of course, the most advantaged aspect is still farming.”
Lu Xuan remarked.
