Chapter 215: Chapter 213 Sparks and Lightning All the Way_l
Translator: 549690339
Lu Xuan came to a Spirit Field, his mind moved, and a faint trace of Qingmu Origin Energy had separated from his Dantian.
A faint green energy suddenly appeared on his right index finger, which was rich with vitality, attracting many spiritual plants around to stretch their branches and leaves unconsciously towards him.
Lu Xuan gently pressed down, and the faint green energy merged into a Mutated Lingying Grass.
Soon, the Lingying Grass was exuding strong vitality. Under Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense, he could even perceive that it was growing rapidly.
The growth rate was several times faster than usual, and only after a moment did it gradually slow down.
Lu Xuan’s mind was focused on this mutated Lingying Grass, feeling the simplest yet strong pleasure that the plant transmitted to him.
He then moved to a second-grade Fiery Fruit, and repeated the process, infusing a trace of faint green energy into that plant.
Comparing the observations, he found out that the effect of Qingmu Origin Energy on Fiery Fruit was much weaker than it was on Lingying Grass, but he could still clearly sense that it could promote the rapid growth of Fiery Fruit.
“Perhaps it’s due to the varying ranks. Although that piece of Lingying Grass is a mutant spiritual plant, it still has no rank. There is a great disparity between the two, therefore the effect produced by the Qingmu Origin Energy is naturally significantly different.”
Lu Xuan theorized.
He looked at the Grass Puppet, who was faithfully patrolling the Spirit Field not far away, summoned it over, and a noticeably thicker stream of green energy appeared on his finger, pressing it on the chest of the Gray Grass puppet.
A green point suddenly appeared on the gray-black chest, which expanded rapidly, quickly covering the entire chest of the Grass Puppet.
Under the stimulation of Qingmu Origin Energy, the gray grass rope that composed the body of the Grass Puppet stretched crazily, tightly wrapped around its chest, turning the Grass Puppet into a monster covered in weeds.
“I didn’t expect it could also help the growth of Grass Puppets, that’s a pleasant surprise.”
Feeling that the Grass Puppet’s condition was good, Lu Xuan murmured to himself.
After the Grass Puppet was upgraded to the second grade, and a large-scale collection of Lingying Grass temporarily ceased, there hadn’t been an injection of Grass Spirit Elixir for some time, and the original stock had mostly been used up.
Now having the better-result Qingmu Origin Energy, it could be used to accelerate the growth rate of the Grass Puppet.
After further experimentation, Lu Xuan found that besides accelerating the growth rate of spiritual plants, it could also control the changes in plant growth to a certain extent, and even replenish the consumption of Qingmu Origin Energy by absorbing the vitality of the spiritual plants.
“This Qingmu Origin Energy is of great use, however, absorption of vitality for replenishment will cause damage to the spiritual plants, hence it needs to be used sparingly.”
Lu Xuan decided to use Qingmu Origin Energy only to cultivate the highest- ranked spiritual plants, so as to obtain the light cluster rewards as early as possible.
After a bit of experimentation, Lu Xuan let the light blue light cluster float in his Dantian, while he carefully observed the spiritual plants in the Spirit Field.
The mutated Lingying Grass he acquired earlier had all been used to condense the Spiritual Seeds. With these eight hundred seeds being induced multiple times, he now possessed over two hundred mutated seeds.
“More than two hundred mutated Lingying Grass, after another round of planting and condensation, can yield over a thousand new mutated seeds. Then, a new induction experiment can begin.”
“I am about to get the improved Lingying Grass.”
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart.
Once the spiritual seeds were sowed, he could tell right away whether the mutation was successful. He would discard any damaging ones, and continue to induce the normal ones.
After multiple rounds of selection, he could get far more mutated spiritual seeds than through normal induction. Coupled with the avoidance of nurturing useless mutant spiritual plants, his process of improving spiritual plants was much easier and simpler than other Cultivators.
While patrolling the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan discovered another Sword Grass with a fully filled progress bar underneath it.
He grabbed the plant that looked like a long sword with his palm, and slowly pulled out the Sword Grass.
Thanks to the constant nourishment from Gold Marrow Jade Liquid, the continuous strengthening of “LiuLi Bone-Tempering Method” and “Transforming Dragon in the Void”, the hardness of his bones had already surpassed a third-rank magic weapon. Even though the edge of the Sword Grass was extremely sharp, it couldn’t pierce the skin of his palm.
“Superior quality, it’s not bad.”
Lu Xuan examined the quality of the Sword Grass, then turned to look at the faintly flickering white light cluster on the ground.
“It’s time to claim the reward!”
The previous two Sword Grass plants he harvested each gave him a Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet and a Sword Embryo from the white light cluster, which increased Lu Xuan’s anticipation for the reward from this Sword Grass light cluster.
With a gentle touch, the light cluster turned into countless light points, piercing into Lu Xuan’s body like a sharp blade.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvest one Second Grade Sword Grass, gain a Third Grade Flying Sword ‘Purple Lightning Sword’.)
As the thought passed, a strangely shaped flying sword appeared in Lu Xuan’s palm.
The flying sword was slender, about three feet long. Its body was deep purple with faint red lines on it, and occasional electrical light emerged from it.
There was a curve in the middle part that sloped upward and then dropped down, making the flying sword look like a piece of lightning that had been directly cut away.
His concentration focused on this peculiar flying sword, Lu Xuan quickly learned details about it.
[Purple Lightning Sword, a Third Grade Flying Sword, created from a special ore in the Gang wind, carrying thunder and lightning spiritual power when used.]
“A third-grade flying sword, just right for current me.”
Despite having many third-rank treasures on him after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lu Xuan had yet to find a suitable magic weapon.
The Slivered Silver Blade and Red Threaded Needle he had received previously were already outdated, and the Second Rank Red Flame Sword was not enough at the Foundation Establishment stage. This third-grade Purple Lightning Sword just filled this gap.
“The flying sword is fresh out, better put it in the scabbard to nurture it well.”
With a mischievous grin, he took out the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath.
In the Ancient Sword Sheath, a Second Rank Red Flame Sword had been placed for a considerable amount of time.
When he drew it out, the rich fire-attribute spiritual power almost materialized, slowly flowing out from the crack of the sheath like lava.
“The nourishing effect is not bad, the fire-attribute spiritual power gathered in the sword body is purer and richer.”
Lu Xuan examined the Red Flame Sword in his hand and sighed.
“Today, as a reward, you can try a new flying sword, which comes with the power of thunder and lightning, ensuring you a satisfying experience.”
He looked at the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, which still had hot lava flowing out of its crack, and chuckled.
The scabbard shivered slightly at his words. A spirit qi membrane appeared quietly on the crack, attempting to keep the approaching Purple Lightning Sword out.
Lu Xuan snorted coldly, pointing his lightning-like sword straight at the crack of the sheath.
“A mere spirit qi membrane, watch my Purple Lightning Sword break it with one strike!”
The sword tip easily penetrated the spirit qi membrane and went deep into the scabbard.
Traces of faint purple light emerged from the sword body, wandering freely in the scabbard, causing the scabbard to tremble incessantly.
After a long while, the Ancient Sword Sheath, which had been trembling all the time, finally calmed down, only to tremble occasionally, proving that it was still restless within.
“The Red Flame Sword that was inserted earlier still has traces of fire-attribute spiritual power remaining, and now this Purple Lightning Sword brings the stimulation of thunder and lightning, how’s that saying again?”
“Holding the Purple Lightning in, the sheath gets by with sparks and lightning-!”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
