The two expanded their search area, and after continuing their search for a while longer, they didn’t find any more Dragon Bone Grass. Thus, they finally left the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake.
As soon as Lu Xuan emerged from the lake surface, the water movement bead
in his mouth disappeared and fell into his palm.
Long Li, too, returned to his previous state, a faint joy reflected in his golden vertical pupils.
“Brother Long, Junior Brother Lu, how was your harvest at the bottom of the lake?”
Tao Zhi Qing, who had been waiting for a long time nearby, immediately came over and curiously asked.
“We have picked a total of five Dragon Corpse Grass.”
Long Li didn’t hide anything and stated calmly.
“Five Level Five Spirit Plants!”
The refined scholar couldn’t help but gasp. Level Five Spirit Plant brought tremendous benefits to those who have reached the Nascent Soul Stage. He did not expect that in the deep water near his small island, hid such a great opportunity.
Unfortunately, without the sect’s permission, one cannot enter the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake, and thus cannot get Dragon Bone Grass. Now, however, he could still get a little share of the leftovers.
Sure enough, Long Li quickly made a distribution of benefits.
“Brother Lu, Brother Tao, both of you worked hard to find a level five spirit
plant like the Dragon Corpse Grass.”
“Five Dragon Corpse Grasses, plus half of the Dragon Corpse Grass taken out from Junior Brother Tao’s Flood Dragon, I can’t take all of them myself. I must hand them over to the sect first, and the sect would make the distribution.”
“However, for Junior Brother Lu’s merit in finding the Dragon Corpse Grass, I
can reward you with four hundred Sword Imprints.”
As Long Li spoke, a bundle of small sword imprints drifted in front of Lu Xuan.
“Thank you, Brother Long.”
After all, the Dragon Corpse Grass is a Level Five Spirit Plant, needed by Golden Core Real People. Lu Xuan only accidentally found it and didn’t fancy getting a share of the Level Five Spirit Plant. Getting four hundred Sword Imprints was already a considerable reward.
You must know that the average fourth rank Spirit Seeds only needs just over two hundred Sword Imprints, he could buy one fourth rank Spirit Seed at the Agricultural Department Hall and still have a lot left over.
“As for Junior Brother Tao, your Flood Dragon has already swallowed half a stalk of Dragon Corpse Grass, which is enormously beneficial to it. It can be regarded as a reward for you.”
“Thank you, Brother Long.” The Scholar Tao bowed in gratitude.
Long Li nodded at Lu Xuan and the others and in the flicker of the dragon silhouette on his red robe, he turned into a streak of red light and instantaneously disappeared.
“Brother Tao, do we still need to draw blood from the remaining Flood Dragons
for inspection?”
After Long Li left, Lu Xuan asked Tao Zhi Qing, who was standing to one side looking a bit lost. He was still interested in the fresh Blood Essence of the remaining third-grade and fourth-grade Flood Dragons!
“Of course, we still need them. Junior Brother Lu, I’m sorry for all the trouble,”
The refined scholar replied with a forced smile, the Binding Dragon Ring in his hand started to shine as he released the Snow Line Jiao he had been controlling.
“Junior Brother Lu, do you know how to refine the medicinal benefits of the Dragon Corpse Grass?”
As he watched the Snow Line Jiao regain its freedom, he turned his head to ask
Lu Xuan.
“Brother Tao, I am just an ordinary Spirit Plant Master. As for your question, it would be better to ask those Alchemists in the sect.”
While drawing blood from a Flood Dragon under his feet, Lu Xuan helplessly responded.
“However, as long as Brother Tao finds a way to refine the medicinal benefits of Dragon Corpse Grass, that Snow Line Jiao will naturally skyrocket and quickly upgrade to the fourth-grade realm.”
None of the remaining Flood Dragons, like the Snow Line Jiao liked to run to the bottom of the lake, hence, no Dragon Corpse Grass remnants were detected in their bodies.
After Lu Xuan had checked and drawn blood from all of the remaining ten plus Flood Dragons, amidst the repeated gratitude of the refined scholar, he left the small island in the middle of the lake.
After leaving the vicinity of Thousand Dragon Lake, Lu Xuan couldn’t suppress his inward joy, letting out a long howl while seated on the back of the Spirit Crane.
The crane beneath him seemed to sense his jubilant feelings, responding with a chirpy, joyful call, echoing each other.
Returning to his cave, Lu Xuan couldn’t wait to close the Flowing Light Formation and rushed into his house, ignoring the Cloud Leopard and Wind Falcon that had come to seek his caress.
“Snatching opportunities from the True Disciples is so thrilling!
He took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions.
His trip to Thousand Dragon Lake to conduct check-ups on flood dragons had reaped a lot more benefits than he had anticipated.
In terms of Flood Dragon Essence Blood, aside from obtaining hundreds of bottles of first and second-grade Jiaolong Python blood, he also received over a dozen bottles of rare and precious third and fourth-grade Jiaolong blood from
Tao Zhi Qing.
Additionally, owing to the discovery of Dragon Bone Herb on the Snow Line Jiao, True Disciple Long Li, who had heard the news, managed to find five Five- Quality Spirit Plants at the bottom of the lake, earning Lu Xuan four hundred Sword Imprints in the process.
At present, his Storage bag contains nearly a thousand Sword Imprints, making him quite wealthy.
“I remember when I first joined the Sect, I spent a significant amount of time and effort seeking Spirit Plant tasks just for twenty or thirty Sword Imprints.” “Who knew that a minor discovery now would effortlessly earn me four hundred Sword Imprints.”
Lu Xuan reflected on his past experiences, full of emotions.
Of course, the Blood Dragon Essence and the four hundred Sword Imprints aren’t all that valuable. The most precious items from this trip are those seemingly ordinary Petrified Flood Dragons.
While he was burrowing Dragon Bone Herbs, he subconsciously buried the items he saw, unexpectedly leading to a massive windfall thanks to this unconscious action.
While burying a Petrified Water Dragon, an idea unexpectedly flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.
There was a Fifth Grade Dragon Corpse Grass Seed hidden within the Petrified Water Dragon!
This revelation made Lu Xuan overjoyed, unbelievable even. After confirming that Long Li hadn’t noticed his abnormal behavior, he was tempted swallow the Dragon Bone Grass Species himself.
Just looking at the Water Dragon Fossil, it was impossible to sense the existence of the Species. It seemed to merge entirely with the fossil, so much so that even a careful scan with his Spiritual Sense couldn’t detect it.
This aroused Lu Xuan’s greed, and he used the excuse of wanting to put the fossil in his little lake for decoration to pick up many stones.
Inside three of these stones were Dragon Bone Grass Species, the rest merely served to disguise his real intent.
He got to the edge of the small lake on the mountaintop and directly jumped into it.
The bottom of the lake wasn’t very deep, so even without the Water Movement Bead, Lu Xuan could move freely.
He had a thought and emptied a large pile of Odd Rocks from his Storage bag, his Spiritual Sense quickly locking on the three among them.
Utilizing the Earth Pulling Technique, the structural composition of the lake bottom shifted subtly, forming a hole large enough to accommodate the Odd Rocks.
He put an Odd Rock into the hole, and a thought flashed across his mind as he concentrated his spirit.
“Dragon Bone Grass, Five-Quality Spirit Plant. The Species is condensed from the Essence of true Dragon Skeleton and is difficult to detect because it merges with the skeleton before cultivation.”
“During cultivation, it needs a Water Dragon Skeleton and third-grade or above Spiritual Liquid to nourish it. When mature, it can help Cultivators break through their related Cultivation Techniques. For those who raise Flood dragon demon beasts, there’s a certain probability of advancing to Level Five.
“Transforming into a dragon in an ancient skeleton!
“A Fifth Rank Spirit Plant Seed! And three of them at that!
“I’ve struck it rich!”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but break out in laughter. Compared to the Spirit Species, he wasn’t too impressed by the mature Dragon Bone Grass.
Although the cultivation conditions were somewhat complicated, the bountiful Light Cluster rewards that a Five-Quality Spirit Plant would bring once it matured were self-evident.
