“Second Grade Spirit Plant?”
Hearing what the thin old man said, Lu Xuan couldn’t help sitting up straight, his expression serious.
“Correct, Second Grade Qingmiao Spirit Tea seedlings. The tea leaves plucked after they mature have a clear and enlightening effect. To a certain extent, it can resist the invasion and pollution of many types of Demon Envoys, very welcomed by the ‘Qi Practitioner Intermediate Level1 and High-Order Cultivators.”
“I have six seedlings in my hand, and I have to give three to other spirit plant masters in the hall. If you’re willing, I can give you the remaining three at a low price.”
“Of course, I’m willing.”
Lu Xuan immediately responded.
“Thank you, Old He, for delivering this opportunity to me.”
He rose and bowed to the thin old man.
“This is all that you have strived for. If I didn’t see your stable production of high-quality spirit plants, I wouldn’t have given them to you.”
Manager He looked at Lu Xuan with a tinge of satisfaction in his eyes.
Before I give them to you, I need to confirm a minor detail.”
“Can your Spirit Field handle the spiritual energy levels and area that you own? Qingmiao Spirit Tea is somewhat overbearing, it doesn’t allow other spirit plants around it, and the demand for spiritual energy is also relatively high.” “No problem.”
Lu Xuan responded decisively.
The spiritual field in the yard had a small part vacant. It should be no problem to plant three second-level spirit plants. The spiritual energy was richer and purer than the initial spiritual field, and there is a Spiritual Spring for irrigation.
The more important thing is that he can grasp the state of the spirit plant at any time and make minor adjustments according to its needs and fulfill them.
With the accumulation of these different factors, naturally, it is not difficult to plant three Second Grade Spirit Plants.
“If there’s no problem, you wait here for a while, and I’ll be right back.”
Innder courtyard of the ‘Bai Cao Tang’.
In a spacious and bright room, three Spirit Plant Masters were sitting on wooden chairs, moving around from time to time, showing that they were not really calm.
“Why is Manager He so stubborn? For three Qingmiao Spirit Tea seedlings, he keeps holding onto them.”
“Friend Zhou, calm down. There aren’t many in ‘Bai Cao Tang’ who are more suitable than us for planting Qingmiao Spirit Tea.”
“That’s right. We’ve been cooperating with ‘Bai Cao Tang’ for many years and every one of us is very experienced in cultivating spirit plants. If he doesn’t give them to us, who will Manager He give them to? He’s just waiting for a better offer and wants some benefits.”
The three comforted each other, drank a sip of the cold spiritual tea in the cup, forcibly calming themselves.
Not much later, Manager He entered the room.
“Old He!” *3
The three of them stood up unanimously and greeted enthusiastically. “The three of you, please go back. I’ve told you before that there’s a suitable candidate for the Qingmiao Spirit Tea. Why are you making things difficult for me?”
The three men’s faces turned serious upon hearing this.
After a long pause, a dark-skinned middle-aged cultivator asked Manager He. “I wonder, Manager He, who you intend to give Qingmiao Spirit Tea to? Is it Old Shen from the west district? He does have a lot of experience, but he is old and has declined in physical strength. I’m afraid it will be hard for him to successfully cultivate the spirit tea.”
“No, it’s a young man, not even twenty, full of strength.”
“Pfft!”
A cultivator next to him could not help but spit out the cold tea that he hadn’t swallowed yet.
“Old He, could you be senile? You’re giving such an important second-grade spirit plant to a young man not even twenty years old?”
“Isn’t this a waste, losing three precious Second Grade Spirit Plant seedlings?”
The thin old man sneered at their words.
“The three of you have been cooperating with ‘Bai Cao Tang’ for quite some time. Can you tell me how many years you’ve been cultivating spiritual medicine?”
“Twenty years.”
‘ I’m two years less, eighteen years.”
“Merely, I have been for twenty-five years.”
The last cultivator spoke with a smile, proudly.
“So, when you’re planting Spirit Firefly Grass, which is in the highest demand in ‘Bai Cao Tang’, how many of the matured Spirit Grass is of high quality?” “I did some rough calculations, of the Spirit Firefly Grass I cultivate, about 30% is of ordinary quality, around 50% is of good quality, and the rest, about 20%, is of superior quality.”
The results spoke by the other two were similar to his.
“What about Perfect Grade?”
Manager He asked calmly.
“How could Perfect Grade be that simple? The requirements for the spirit plant master and the spiritual energy of the spirit field are too high. For a No-Organization Spirit Plant Master, it’s a matter of chance.”
“Oh, really?”
The thin old man cornered the tip of his mouth in disdain.
“But that young man, who has been in contact with spirit plant cultivation for less than three years, recently brought over less than forty strains of Spirit Firefly Grass. The lowest quality was good, and there were even eight Perfect Quality ones.”
“How is that possible?!”
The words slipped from the lips of the dark-skinned middle-aged cultivator, his tone full of shock.
“Why isn’t it possible? I personally checked all the Spirit Firefly Grass. Are you saying that there’s a problem with my eyesight?”
Manager He’s brow furrowed, his words piercing.
The dark-skinned middle-aged cultivator stumbled over his words but didn’t retort in the end.
User 2: The words from Manager He were too unimaginable for him. As a Spirit Plant Master who had been cultivating for more than 20 years, he knew how rare it was to cultivate a Spirit Plant of Perfect Quality.
But that young man cultivated eight Perfect Quality Spirit Firefly Grasses from
a mere thirty or so strains. How could he accept that in such a short time?
But Manager He spoke so confidently, making him have to believe it.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they each read the doubts and helplessness in each other’s eyes.
“I don’t know if Manager He can introduce the young spirit plant master to us.”
One of them asked with his head lowered.
“He’s here in ‘Bai Cao Tang’ right now. If you have any doubts, you can go and see for yourselves.”
Seeing the three of their attitudes, Manager He knew they had mostly believed him. He then had the idea of introducing Lu Xuan to the three of them, so he could make more acquaintance with the Spirit Plant Masters.
After hearing this, the three of them hurriedly came to the lobby and noticed the calm, handsome young man by the edge of the wooden cabinet at first sight.
“May I ask if you are Friend Lu?”
The dark-skinned middle-aged cultivator came to the young man’s side and asked with a bow.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Lu Xuan returned the bow and said.
“No wonder you are a cut above the rest. It makes sense that you can plant
Perfect Quality Spirit Firefly Grass.”
The middle-aged cultivator scanned over the wooden cabinet and saw more than twenty Spirit Firefly Grass of excellent quality, and his last doubt vanished.
“You flatter me, I got lucky. I still need to ask all the fellow daoists on how to plant spirit plants.”
Many hands make light work, Lu Xuan replied modestly.
The three looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
“Friend Lu, you mustn’t joke with us. You’re a Spirit Plant Master who can grow
Perfect Grade spirit plants. Where would you need to learn from us?”
After a pause, one of them asked in a low voice.
“Friend Lu, if I may be so bold, how did you cultivate Perfect Quality Spirit Firefly Grass?”
“How to cultivate Perfect Quality Spirit Firefly Grass?”
Lu Xuan looked troubled, his right thumb and forefinger lightly touching each
other, and in the end, it turned into a sigh.
“This is a secret that cannot be shared, and it’s really not convenient for me to tell others..”
