Chapter 216: Chapter 214: Improvement Successful, Water Glow Grassi

Translator: 549690339

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

After resolving the persisting obsession in a Green Xuan Deer’s heart, Lu Xuan mostly stayed on his own mountain peak, peacefully cultivating spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts.

In the meantime, there were Foundation Establishment peers with similar cultivation levels from nearby areas who invited him to explore the secret lands together, but he politely declined every single one of them.

Gradually, his fellow cultivators understood Lu Xuan’s character well – they knew he wanted to be a peaceful and non-contentious Spirit Plant Master who doesn’t like fighting or adventuring, so they gradually gave up on the idea of inviting him along.

However, after the news spread that Lu Xuan had helped his fellow True Disciple, Ge Pu, solve his spirit beast reproduction problem, and that he had resolved the obsession of the Green Xuan Deer in the secret land, the crowd showed no disrespect. Instead, they held him in higher regard.

After all, considering Lu Xuan’s rapid progress, even if his cultivation level is mediocre and he is not skilled in combat techniques, he would still hold an important position in the logistic departments like the Sword Hall, the Agricultural Department Hall and so forth.

Lu Xuan was more than happy to let everyone see him in such a light, further cementing his image.

During this time, the tasks he had set up in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall began to bear fruit. With the help of various outer sect disciples, he collected a significant amount of second-grade demon beast pupils and second-grade strange insect eggs.

After obtaining more than a dozen Demon Beast Eyeballs, Lu Xuan took some time to visit Sword Gate Town and feed them to the hungry Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.

All the Underworld Spiritual Plants in the small courtyard were growing well, except for the fifth-grade Holy Baby Fruit. Since it lacked the nourishment of infant blood, flesh, and soul, the growth of the spiritual seed was slow and it hadn’t started to sprout yet.

With the protection of the fourth-grade Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array, the Sword Gate Town’s small courtyard was as secure as a fortress, with no sign of any cultivator’s intrusion.

In the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan placed a thin, light blue spiritual seed into the spirit soil.

The slender spiritual seed was condensed from a mutated water system Spirit Firefly Grass. After it transformed into mutated spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan stimulated it twice. He was planting it now to see the results of the stimulation. The Earth Pulling Technique was deployed, causing subtle changes in the spiritual soil, which tightly wrapped around the spiritual seeds.

Lu Xuan’s consciousness was focused on the spiritual seed embedded in the shallow layer of the spirit soil.

[Unknown Spiritual Grass, Second-level Spirit Plant, ready for naming. It is improved from the Spontaneous Grass, containing abundant water-based spiritual power, and it can be used as the main material for common elixirs to enhance spiritual power.]

“Second-level Spirit Plant!”

“Finally, the improvement was successful!”

An idea flashed in his mind, and Lu Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

After three generations of inducement and stimulation, he had successfully obtained an improved Spirit Firefly Grass Seed.

Even under his circumstances, where he could repeatedly sift through the spiritual seeds and save a lot of unnecessary effort, it would take other cultivators countless times more time and energy to achieve such an improvement.

“Jumping from a Non-grade Spirit Plant to a Second-level Spirit Plant is a significant elevation in classification.”

However, it’s understandable because the Second-level Spirit Plant is within the scope of Qi Cultivation. There’s no major difference from the First Grade.” Lu Xuan thought to himself that it would naturally be better if he could get a second-grade Mutated Spirit Firefly Grass. After all, a higher-grade spiritual plant meant more generous light cluster rewards.

“Let’s call this richly water-infused Mutated Spirit Firefly Grass – Water Fireflv Grass.”

With a thought from Lu Xuan, the information of the spiritual seed in the spirit soil changed accordingly.

“I hope that when the Second grade Water Firefly Grass matures, it can bring enough cultivation rewards.”

Lu Xuan performed the Spirit Rain Technique, threads of spiritual energy seeped into the light blue slender spiritual seed, which greedily absorbed it.

“Even though it has been improved to a second-grade spiritual plant, the Water Firefly Grass still belongs to the same lineage as the non-grade Spirit Firefly Grass after all. The type of rewards should be similar.”

“No, I need to get the light cluster of the Water Firefly Grass as soon as possible and see if there are any cultivation rewards.”

Lu Xuan suppressed his joy and planted the remaining mutated spirit seeds into the spirit soil, and got a total of twenty-three successful mutated Water Firefly Grass spirit seeds.

As for the remaining spirit seeds, he planned to continue to stimulate them to see if he could get a few more successfully improved Water Firefly Grass spirit seeds.

Out of the twenty-three spirit seeds, he picked three to be ripened with Qingmu Origin Energy. This was to get the light cluster rewards in the shortest time possible.

Three strands of light green spiritual energy seeped into the slender spirit seeds, and the shells of the spirit seeds cracked open at a visible speed.

Half a day later, three Water Firefly Grass seedlings drilled out of the spirit soil. They were about an inch long, swaying in the breeze, appearing weak and unable to withstand the wind.

On the slender leaves, there were glowing spots like stars. A faint blue glow appeared, dreamlike and illusory.

The ripening effect of Qingmu Origin Energy is unexpectedly strong, after all, it comes from the vital spiritual energy of the fifth grade Qing Xuan Deer.” ‘The normal maturation cycle for a second-grade spirit plant is about a year, but with Qingmu Origin Energy, it can save more than half the time.” “Unfortunately, the amount is limited and hard to replenish after it’s used up.” Lu Xuan felt a little regretful as he sensed the faint green spiritual energy cluster in his Dantian.

After ripening the three Water Firefly Grass seedlings, he continued to patrol around the mountain to check on the growth of the other spirit plants.

The second-grade Flaming Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit have entered the maturity stage. One spirit fruit was a deep blue color, filled with cold air. The other was in fire-red color, resembling clusters of burning flames from afar.

Because the Ice Luo Fruit was planted earlier, its size is slightly larger, hanging on the branches, drooping down.

Eight of the nine swaths of Sword Grass planted recently were nurtured with four different types of Sword Qi from the Four Seasons Sword Decree. They each grew to look like miniature sword blades, their tips pointing straight at the sky.

One swath of Fire System Sword Grass, stimulated by the residual Sword Qi of the Red Flame Sword in the scabbard, was planted near the Earth Fire Branch Vein, nourished by the hot fire spirit.

Among the other third-grade spirit plants, the Sword Nurturing Gourd and Jade Scale Fruit began to mature.

On the green vine, there were five verdant calabashes. Due to the stimulation of external and internal Sword Qi, the surface of the calabash appeared mottled, adding a sense of ancient simplicity. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin(.)c𝒐m

From time to time, a sound of clanging sword singing can be heard from the calabash, causing several gourds to ripple continuously.

Eight jade-like fruits were formed on the Jade Scale Fruit tree. The spirit fruit looked like pine nuts, only a few levels more beautiful.

Layers of jade folds enveloped it, clear and transparent, eye-catching, and colorful.

The third-grade Enchanted Immortal Peach entered the flowering stage. Pink peach blossoms were full of branches. With the faint red miasma as the backdrop, it vaguely exuded a natural charm.

The third-grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass, which was successfully improved by the stimulation of Sword of Wind and Thunder and the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, also sprouted, progressing slower than the other nine swaths but slightly stronger in momentum. Occasionally, tiny dark black sword energy shot out during Lu Xuan’s cultivation.

The fourth-grade Earthfire Heart Lotus and Xuan Chong Vine each grewa bit bigger. The Earthfire Heart Lotus grew increasingly pure red under the scorching earth fire, constantly being washed by the lava. It conveyed a sense of pride and defiance in the lava river.

The insect chambers on the Xuan Chong Vine became more numerous. Occasionally, strange looking insect beasts crawled out from inside, and activity could be seen all around.

Due to the symbiotic relationship with the Xuan Chong Vine, the various types of insect beasts got along with each other. If there was occasional hostility, Lu Xuan would notice it in time and nip it in the bud.

The simple yet fulfilling days of cultivating sped by quickly. Under the constant maturation of Qingmu Origin Energy, the growing time of Water Firefly Grass was greatly shortened, and it began to enter its maturity stage.
