In the courtyard of the mountain peak.
Lu Xuan took out three jade slips, placing one of them on his forehead, his spiritual sense slowly seeped into it.
Before long, a fierce surge of information flooded his mind, it was crammed
full, almost to the point of bursting.
He was like a sponge, frantically absorbing the cultivation knowledge that poured into his knowledge sea, constantly digesting it.
About an hour later, Lu Xuan exhaled a breath of turbidity, his expression much more relaxed.
In his knowledge sea, the practice methods, tips, routes, and casting of the intermediate Five Elements Skill associated with “The Great Five Elements were deeply engraved. With one thought, he could summon the corresponding knowledge, carefully contemplating and understanding it.
“As expected of ‘The Little Five Elements Power’s1 advanced version, the difficulty of cultivating is many times higher, but of course, the effects have also been greatly improved.”
Lu Xuan made a comment, following the recipe, he absorbed the sword technique and light body skill from the other two jade slips.
After completely absorbing the knowledge in the jade slips, they automatically shattered, turning into powder and falling to the ground, there was no need to worry about their contents leaking out easily.
“After advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, farming is still the most important, but in my spare time, I can practice the cultivation technique and sword technique.”
He sighed privately.
Other cultivators primarily focus on cultivation, followed by fighting, exploring opportunities, alchemy and tool refining, with skills like spirit plant cultivation in a lower priority. Lu Xuan is just the opposite, in front of cultivating spiritual plants, everything else looks insignificant and fragile.
After briefly understanding the three methods, he came to the spirit field.
He traversed mountains and ridges, inspecting the growth status of numerous spiritual plants in various parts of the mountain peak.
All the spiritual plants were thriving, some had entered mature stages one after another, some were sprouting and growing vigorously, and some were rooting and sprouting, or in the pregnancy stage. Each stage was full of vitality, filling Lu Xuan, a Spirit Plant Master, with immense satisfaction.
“A batch of Spirit Firefly Grass has matured.
He inspected the remaining common Spirit Firefly Grass, each carefully reviewed, and received thirty-two perfectly mature Spirit Firefly Grass.
Because of the impact of just being transplanted not long ago, the average quality of the newly matured Spirit Firefly Grass has slightly dropped. Among the thirty-two, only four are of perfect grade, others are of good or superior quality.
On the ground, there were thirty-two white light clusters flickering slightly at the positions where they were picked, attracting Lu Xuan’s eyes.
The corner of his mouth lifted as he gently picked up the nearest one.
The light cluster turned into countless light spots and poured into him, immediately, a thought flashed by.
[Harvested a Spirit Firefly Grass, obtained two months of cultivation progress.]
“Hmm?”
Just as Lu Xuan was about to continue picking up the second light cluster, suddenly, the thought that appeared in his mind caught his attention.
“Two months of cultivation progress? How can this happen?”
Ahint of confusion flashed in his eyes. In his memory, the white light cluster just now came from a Spirit Firefly Grass of good quality. According to the past, he would receive six months of cultivation rewards, but this time it turned out to be only two months of cultivation progress.
Lu Xuan adjusted his breathing and continued to pick up the second light cluster.
It wasn’t until the fifth light cluster that he got a cultivation reward, it came from a Spirit Firefly Grass of superior quality, it should have given him nine months of cultivation progress, but he only received three months of cultivation progress after absorbing the light cluster.
“Compared with the past, the cultivation reward brought by the light cluster is two-thirds less, what exactly is the reason?
“The timing of picking, and the quality of the spirit plants are not much different than before. Instead, the spirit energy and spirit soil on the mountain peak are better than before in the cave. The only change is, I have advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“Could it be that a large gap in rank leads to a reduction in cultivation rewards?”
Lu Xuan’s mind moved, recalling some games in his previous life, when the character controlled to kill small monsters, if the level gap was too large, the experience gained would be reduced or even none at all.
“Spirit Firefly Grass is a non-grade spirit plant, the Foundation Establishment Cultivation corresponds to the Tier Three and Tier Four spirit plants, the gap is indeed large.”
The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more he believed this was the most likely possibility. He also remembered another scenario.
“If harvesting low-grade spiritual plants reduces the reward, wouldn’t harvesting high-grade spiritual plants across ranks yield greater rewards. When he was at the Qi Training Realm, he harvested two third-grade spiritual plants the Flood Dragon Vine and the Phantom Smoke Fruit, and gamed the top-grade body refinement cultivation technique “Transforming Dragon in the Void” and the fourth-grade formation method Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array respectively.
“In the past, I occasionally received higher-grade rewards, but they were mainly charms or materials. Its importance is lower than cultivation techniques and formation methods. Therefore, cultivating spiritual plants across grades indeed brings extra rewards.
Lu Xuan analyzed.
“Fortunately, I planned ahead and prepared in advance, experimented and improved the variant of the Spirit Firefly Grass.”
Lu Xuan looked at the remaining Spirit Firefly Grass calmly and quietly and decided to make some adjustments.
He didn’t plan to harvest the remaining one hundred and thirty-four ordinary Spirit Firefly Grass but planned to refine them all into spiritual seeds. Then he would use the large amount of spiritual seeds to induce mutant spiritual plants. Together with the successfully induced twenty-six ice and fire Spirit Firefly Grass, and fifty plants that are in the stimulation stage, he believed that he would quickly succeed with a large amount of resources.
“In the improvement process, my biggest advantage is that I can recycle spiritual seeds. I don’t need to wait and still I can know the information about the spiritual seeds. This greatly shortens the induction process.” “Moreover, for the mutant spiritual plant, I can make the most accurate adjustments and choices according to its real-time state, saving a lot of time.”
Lu Xuan is full of confidence.
“After a great fright, it’s time for a grilled fish to calm the nerves.”
He came to the edge of the lake, a red light silently penetrated the lake. After two or three breaths, a red threaded needle spear with a fat spirit fish jumped out of the water.
The spiritual fish fell on the ground, its tail beat violently, trying to return to the lake.
Lu Xuan casually pulled out a grey grass rope from the nearby grass puppet, tied up the spiritual fish, and took it back to the courtyard.
Under the slow fire, the spiritual fish made a sizzling sound. The aroma spread, attracting the Wind Falcon fledgling hatching the Li Huo Jiao Long Egg and the Cloud Leopard in the forest.
Lu Xuan turned it over, sprinkled demon beast oil, spices, and seasoning. The aroma became stronger. The Wind Falcon fledgling’s belly contracted and inflated anxiously, and the Cloud Leopard pretended not to care and walked around. It’s clear green eyes, however, never left the grilled fish.
“Come on, fresh grilled fish out of the oven.”
Several silver-white fragments flew out, cutting the grilled fish into more than ten pieces. Lu Xuan threw a piece to each of the two small beasts and grabbed a large piece himself, eating happily.
“Hoop!”
A familiar cry came, and a white Luan Bird appeared in the courtyard.
Looking at the elegant and majestic Mystical Sky White Luan, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but smile.
“I haven’t told you since I moved, and you found your way here, glutton.”
“Oh, you brought a little friend?”
Lu Xuan was pleasantly surprised as a small and exquisite monkey slowly came out, following closely behind the Luan Bird, occasionally glancing at Lu Xuan and the fragrant grilled fish in front of him.
“Come on, try the new dish.”
Lu Xuan tore off two pieces of fish and threw them to the Luan Bird and the small monkey.
His mind was focused on the monkey, and a thought flashed through his mind. [White Jade Sky Monkey, third-rank Demonic Beast, Guardian Beast of Sky Sword Sect. It contains the bloodline of the ancient exotic beast, the Sky Monkey and has the potential to grow into a seventh-grade Demonic Beast.] [It’s ferocious and belligerent, easily angered, and its strength greatly increases when it goes into a rage.]
[I want this sky, it can no longer cover my eyes.]
