Hearing that he might find ancient spirit species and eggs of ancient spirit beasts in the Blessed Land, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but be drawn in. “Respected elder brothers and sisters, I haven’t been an inner sect disciple for long. Can anyone explain to me in detail about the Blessed Land?”
Liu Su smiled upon hearing this and slowly explained.
A Blessed Land is a small world isolated from the Cultivation World. Above it exists a Cave Heaven.”
Junior Brother Lu, you’ ve had experience entering a Secret Land before, haven’t you? Most Secret Lands are either remnants or fragments of Blessed Lands connected to our Cultivation World. There are many treasures in the Secret Lands, and in the Blessed Lands, needless to say.”
“Our sect currently controls three Blessed Lands, each managed by the Golden Core Real People. Frequent entry of cultivators can lead to unfavorable effects due to the somewhat unstable space of the Blessed Land.”
Therefore, one of these lands will be opened every ten to twenty years. In half a year, the Langyue Blessed Land, one of the three, will be opened.”
“I see.”
Lu Xuan slowly nodded.
“So, what are the conditions for entering the Blessed Land? Will we encounter any life-threatening demon beasts or demon envoys?”
He asked a question that he was most concerned about.
There are demon beasts and demon envoys in the Blessed Land. The sect allows us to enter with the intent of us dealing with them, however, they don’t pose a significant threat.”
“Moreover, Golden Core Real People constantly monitor the Blessed Land. There might be injuries, but no threat to life.”
“When it comes to claiming opportunities, there might be struggles among disciples, but everyone understands the limit.”
“After all, we are all inner sect disciples, we have to live together in the sect, there’s no need to be bloodthirsty. Furthermore, disregarding the sect’s rules under the watch of the Golden Pellet Elder Uncle would lead to severe consequences.”
Seeing Lu Xuan deep in thought, a middle-aged cultivator spoke up.
“Although chances are everywhere in the Blessed Land, finding treasures like ancient spirit species is quite difficult for ordinary inner sect disciples.” “Such rare treasures are usually found in peculiar places, protected by natural formations and mechanisms, difficult for ordinary people to enter.” “Only foundation establishment cultivators with substantial backing, who received relevant information and treasures from their elders or masters, have an easier time finding them.”
Lu Xuan gently nodded, his expression unchanged.
This was quite common; he had long since learned to be calm about it. He was more focused on the possible spiritual seeds and spirit beast eggs. Without the Spirit Seed Condensing Method, it’s hard to mass produce spirit plants in the wild. They can only bear spiritual seeds by a stroke of luck, the same goes for spirit beasts.
However, the Blessed Land offers a natural environment that is conducive to the growth of some spirit plants, the probability of producing spiritual seeds is slightly higher.
“Junior Brother Lu, don’t overthink it for now.”
“The number of inner sect disciples who can enter the Blessed Land is limited, you need a Sword Command as the entry qualification. The value of the Sword’ Command is usually no less than three to five thousand spirit stones and is still in high demand even at this price.”
You ve just been promoted to an inner sect disciple not long ago, it’s better to focus on cultivating your spirit plants.”
A grim young man suddenly said in a flat tone.
Elder Brother Zhang, you should taste this new spiritual wine I brewed,” Liu Su sensed that something was wrong from the young man’s tone, and quickly changed the subject.
“Thank you for your reminder, elder brother. It’s just a rare opportunity, I will try to figure a way.”
“After all, it’s still half a year before the Blessed Land opens, I will try to save up some spirit stones and see if I can get a Sword Command.”
Lu Xuan ignored the grim youth’s sarcasm, smiled at him, and said sincerely. After helping Ge Pu, one from the direct line of succession, solve the breeding problem of the Yin-Yang Koi Fish last time, Ge Pu gifted him a Sword Command. He was initially hesitant, but ever since he learned about the Blessed Land today, he slowly leaned towards entering it.
Without the worry for his life and the possibility of obtaining ancient spirit species, he naturally wouldn’t miss this kind of opportunity.
“Even if the planting method for the ancient spirit species is lost, I just need to plant the spirit seed, and I can find a way to cultivate it.”
“Not to mention the massive reward of Light Cluster that may come from planting such high-grade spiritual plants beyond my rank.”
Lu Xuan secretly thought to himself, his determination growing stronger. After the group chatted for a bit, the gathering gradually came to an end. “Brothers and sisters, I’ve always loved all kinds of strange and peculiar spirit plants. Even if I can’t cultivate them, it doesn’t matter, the important thing is to experience and experiment.”
“If any of you have any unknown spiritual seeds or other peculiar spirit seeds that you can’t identify, you can come find me at my mountain peak. I can trade them with other treasures.”
“Sounds good.”
“If only I’d met with Junior Brother Lu sooner, I received an unknown spiritual seed years ago, but it could not be recognized by the Sect’s Pill Master, and I didn’t know how to plant it, so I could only sell it at a low price.”
“Indeed, I’ve had a similar experience.”
Everyone agreed enthusiastically.
They were unlike Lu Xuan who poured his heart into cultivating spiritual plants. To them, cultivation far outweighed the importance of Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast skills, which were merely a method for them to make money. All the cultivators present were at the Foundation Establishment Realm. They were significant figures outside the Sect and often entered various secret lands, occasionally even encountering unknown spirit seeds.
If they don’t recognize the rank of a spirit seed and can’t get the corresponding cultivation method, the plant may not grow properly even if it is successfully planted.
Being able to obtain other treasures from Lu Xuan in exchange for these unknown spirit seeds would already make them completely satisfied.
After securing everyone’s promise, Lu Xuan felt pleased and returned to his mountain peak.
A small lake at the foot of the mountain.
Spiritual energy blurred the surface of the lake, slowly rising.
Ice Luo Fruits suitable for growing in water spirit environments were planted along the shore of the lake. The faint chill spread out, causing the nearby lake surface to freeze a thin layer of ice.
The Wind Falcon, flapping a pair of wide pale azure wings, skimmed past the lake’s surface.
Despite its belly still round, its speed was not affected at all, and it would soon fly over the lake.
Splash. A fire-red Flood Dragon, protruding from the bottom of the lake, flew diagonally towards the Wind Falcon and hung itself onto the Wind Falcon’s ankle.
In the blink of an eye, five months had passed, and the young drake had grown considerably, from less than three feet at first to over five feet now.
It was too bulky now to hang around the neck of the Wind Falcon, which was getting overwhelmed. Therefore, the Fire Separation Flood Dragon, who was extremely dependent on the Wind Falcon, had to change its position to the ankle area.
It usually stayed at the bottom of the small lake, and as soon as the Wind Falcon flew over the lake, it would spring out at the first opportunity to show affection. At this moment, Lu Xuan was inspecting the growth of each spirit plant located in various spirit fields all around the mountain peak.
Under his careful nurture, all the spirit plants were growing excellently.
When he arrived at a somewhat secluded mine on one side of the mountain peak, which was as usual, he carefully inspected the condition of the Jade Scale Fruits planted there.
“Hmm? Has one of the Jade Scale Fruits matured already?”
Between leaves that resembled thin jade pieces, the progress bar beneath a Jade
Scale Fruit had already been filled up.
Lu Xuan hurriedly took out a square Jade Box from his storage bag. The muscles in his palm turned callous-like, becoming similar to that of a colored glaze, holding the Jade Scale Fruit’s stalk tightly. He energetically pulled it and placed it into the square Jade Box as soon as possible.
