“Junior Brother Lu is being too modest,”
“As a young cultivator who has already been promoted to Inner Sect Disciple status, you must possess several remarkable abilities,”
A peaceful female cultivator nearby said with a smile.
“Indeed, furthermore, there will surely be many Inner Sect Disciples joining us in hunting down the Same-heart Demon this time. We will sweep through Star City and its surrounding markets.”
“In case of any accidents, we only need to activate the Sect’s Transmission Talisman and can promptly assist each other.”
“After separating, the Same-heart demon is at most at the beginning or middle stage of Foundation Establishment, plus the loss of its original body during the escape, it might be seriously hurt when facing other cultivators.”
“I think the hardest part about this mission is to find the Same-heart Demon that has fled into Star City as soon as possible, so as to avoid involving ordinary people and loose cultivators.”
A somewhat plump young man said slowly. The crowd nodded their heads in agreement.
“I apologize, but my Spirit Field will soon have a huge number of Spirit Plants maturing. If I miss the best maturing time because of hunting down demons, and cannot harvest them timely, I’m afraid this will damage the spiritual power and medicinal properties of the Spirit Plants.”
After some hesitation, Lu Xuan eventually declined.
The facts were indeed as he stated, currently in his Spirit Field on the mountain peak, the second-grade Flame Fruit, the three-level jade scale fruit, and the Sword Nurturing Gourd were ripening. If he misses it, not only would it affect the quality of Spirit Plants, but it would also affect the size of the reward provided by the White Light Group.
Moreover, that Same-heart Demon was left by Golden Core Real People, who could assure that there were no hidden troubles or killers lurking within.
Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s reasons, everybody then stopped insisting.
They were all Spirit Plant Masters, so naturally, they understood the importance of the harvest timing of Spirit Plants.
After chatting for a while, everyone left one after another to prepare to start the search and kill mission for the Same-heart Demon.
Lu Xuan returned to the mountain peak and began inspecting the Spirit Field, checking on the growth status of each Spirit Plant.
Ten Flame Fruits had entered the period of explosion maturation.
In the midst of fiery-red leaves, as if bunches of flames, the Spiritual fruit seemed to emerge, from afar it looked as if the Spirit Plant was burning fiercely.
“One Flame Fruit, two Flame Fruits…”
“There’s no end to this, I can’t finish gathering them all.”
Lu Xuan, with a grin on his face, was experiencing the joy of a bountiful harvest through these Flame Fruits.
In the end, a total of fifteen fully ripe Flame Fruits were harvested, of which eleven were of Good Quality and four were of Superior Quality.
Fifteen White Light Groups were hidden around the Spirit Tree, illuminating and reflecting off the fiery-red leaves.
Lu Xuan picked them up one by one, with various information flashing through his mind and numerous rewards associated with the maturity of the Spirit Plants subsequently appeared.
[Harvested Second-grade Flame Fruit, received Third-class Treasured Flame- Blast Pearl.] *3
[Harvested Second-grade Flame Fruit, received Three-Grade Pills of Dan of Burning Element.] *5
Eventually, among the fifteen White Light Groups, three Third-class Treasured Flame-Blast Pearls, five Three-Grade Pills of Dan of Burning Element, three copies of the upper part of “Playing with Flame Jue” and two Experience Packages for the lower part of “Playing with Flame Jue” were found. There was also a Three-level Red Lotus Flame.
As the Red Lotus Flame was not for his own use, instead, it was meant to cultivate the Phoenix Wood, Lu Xuan did not refine it but stored it in a specialized vessel and planned to take it out after the previous Red Lotus Flame was completely absorbed.
Among these, there was a new reward that came from a Superior Quality light group.
[Harvested Second-grade Flame Fruit, received the recipe for Three-grade Dan of Burning Element.]
A thought flashed through his mind, subsequently, vast amounts of information poured into his sea of consciousness.
The range of Spirit Plants required for concocting elixirs, processing of materials, the ratio and weight at which they are introduced into the Pill Furnace, the control of the Pill Fire, the timing of when the Pill is made…
All sorts of knowledge about concocting the Dan of Burning Element were poured into Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness, overwhelming him for a moment.
“Unexpectedly, I haven’t yet gotten a formula for the three-grade Foundation Building Pill, but I’ve obtained the formula for the three-grade Dan of Burning Element first.”
Lu Xuan carefully digested everything about the pill formula and inwardly sighed.
He had cultivated so many Spirit Plants, yet the occurrence of Pill Formula Experience Packages was not common. Only the former Spirit Firefly Grass would occasionally produce a First Grade Qi Cultivating Pill Recipe Experience Package.
However, Lu Xuan is now at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so crafting a First Grade Pill was somewhat inappropriate. Combined with the fact that he also had to squeeze time for cultivation techniques and Formula Methods on normal days, the bought Pill Furnace has been gathering dust all this time.
Lu Xuan took out a Flaming Fruit and called over the Demonic Vine.
A gray vine, like a poisonous snake, swiftly slithered over. Many tiny vines trailed behind its body, resembling long slender arms.
“Come, let’s improve the food today.”
Lu Xuan threw a whole Flaming Fruit at the Demonic Vine. The gray vine immediately coiled around the fiery fruit and plunged deep into it.
The position where the Demonic Vine absorbed the flamed fruit quickly dimmed, the fiery spiritual light flowed along the thin vine and seeped deep into the vine.
“Poor little guy, feeding on Spirit Plants and Spirit Fruits. Yet ever since it followed me to the Sect, facing this treasure mountain filled with various types of Spirit Plants, it’s only today that it could enjoy a whole Spirit Fruit.”
Lu Xuan sighed and continued his inspection of the other Spirit Fields on the mountain peak.
“The Bing Luo Fruits have matured too.”
Lu Xuan stood before a Spirit Plant with bark that looked like ice crystal, and his face revealed a trace of joy.
His mind focused on one deep blue spirit fruit, and he could see that the almost transparent progress bar below was completely filled.
A thin layer of frost emerged on his hand as he cautiously picked off the mature Bing Luo Fruit.
The Bing Luo Fruit was somewhat like a pineapple in shape but was roughly half the size. Its exterior was a clear blue crystal color, with chilling air all around and a penetrating refreshing fragrance.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Bing Luo Fruit, a second-grade Spirit Fruit, contains a faint Frost Spirit Energy. After consumption, one can taste a natural icy flavor, and it is extremely delicious.]
[Simultaneously, it can quickly replenish the body’s Spiritual Power. It has an excellent healing effect on internal injuries caused by fire system techniques as well as fire poison and other related internal injuries.]
“I’ve harvested Flaming Fruit and now the Bing Luo fruit. The fruits of Ice and Fire are gathered.”
“One day, I will have to call the Mysterious Sky Luan Bird and the White Jade Sky Monkey over. Let these two Guardian Beasts experience a minor shock of the Ice and Fire Realm.”
“Wouldn’t that bewilder them, leaving them in a daze?”
Lu Xuan chuckled, looking up at the white light cluster in the middle of a set of frost, which was almost solidifying.
He stepped on air, arriving in front of the light cluster and extended his hand to gently touch it.
The light cluster broke into countless shards of ice, all of which drifted into Lu Xuan’s body.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested one two-grade Bing Luo Fruit and obtained a three-grade treasure, Hundred-Year Ice Spirit.]
Immediately, a fist-sized crystal object appeared in his hand. Its surface was uneven, sparkling and translucent, reflecting different lights.
In the very center was a clump of pure white Spiritual Liquid, as if solidified within the ice crystal. Not moving at all, but even through the thick ice crystal, one could feel the extremely cold, pure energy contained within the pure white Spiritual Liquid.
