“Junior Brother Lu, please wait!”
Just as Lu Xuan summoned a Spirit Crane, intending to leave the Hall of
Transference, a gentle voice came from behind him.
He turned around and saw that the woman in the yellow dress he had met in the side hall was smiling at him.
“Sister Guan.”
They had chatted for a while earlier, and Lu Xuan learned that the woman in the yellow dress was Guan Wan, with a Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base and expertise in alchemy.
Guan Wan stepped forward, a smile crossing her elegant and serene face.
“I heard about the content of spiritual plants that Junior Brother Lu lectured
today.”
“Your accomplishments in the Spiritual Plant Path are indeed admirable. Many of your theories on cultivating spiritual plants are enlightening and give much to ponder.”
“The way you solved various problems of spiritual plants on site for the Outer
Sect Disciples in the afternoon was even more brilliant. I regret not being there to witness Junior Brother Lu’s style.
“Sister Guan is too kind, what can I help you with?”
The series of praises from the woman in yellow made even the thick-skinned
Lu Xuan feel a bit embarrassed, so he hurriedly asked.
“The reason I’m looking for Junior Brother Lu is that I want to discuss the
possibility of cooperation with you.”
Guan Wan’s expression became serious, and she said softly.
“Cooperation?” Lu Xuan was intrigued.
“Yes, Junior Brother Lu should know that I have a decent talent in alchemy, and have secured a relatively decent position in the sect’s Dan Palace.”
“The Dan Palace provides a large number of disciples in the sect with various kinds of elixirs, so the amount of spiritual plants needed is terrifying.
“The source of materials usually comes in three ways. One is obtained from sect disciples exploring secret lands, brought back to the sect in exchange for Spirit Stones or Sword Marks, etc. The supply of these materials is generally highly uncertain.”
“The second is to entrust the cultivation of spiritual medicines to the families established by sect disciples after leaving the sect. These are usually varieties with large quantities and moderate ranks.”
Lu Xuan nodded slightly at this.
The furthest he had left the sect was when he was invited by Yao Qing to a small island to solve a large-scale pest problem of Water Ling Peach.
“The last kind is grown by alchemists in the Dan Palace. VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
“The Dan Palace has quite a few medicine gardens within the sect, with varying spiritual energy and spirit soil, which can be used to grow different kinds of spiritual plants.”
“Lower-ranking spiritual plants can be tasked to the Outer Sect Disciples. “High-ranking spiritual plants, due to the significantly increased difficulty of cultivation, are usually entrusted to the alchemists of the Dan Palace or to renowned Spirit Plant Masters within the sect for cultivation.” “My reason for reaching out to Junior Brother Lu is to establish such a cooperative model.”
“What are the specific details of the cooperation?”
Lu Xuan was somewhat interested.
“The Dan Palace provides Spiritual Seeds and gives Junior Brother a certain number of Sword Marks as a basic reward.
“Once the spiritual plant matures, an evaluation is made based on the quantity and quality of the spiritual plant. If the survival rate of the spiritual plant is high and the quality is excellent, additional rewards will be given to Junior Brother.”
“If the survival rate is very low and the quality is average, there is no punishment, only that the cooperation between the two sides will be terminated.”
The woman in the yellow dress patiently explained.
“Really? What a great deal.”
Lu Xuan murmured to himself.
The spiritual seeds provided to Foundation Establishment cultivators for planting were at least third-grade, and there would be more than just one or two of them.
In addition, Sword Marks were provided as a secure reward, and if the quality of the spiritual plants was good, there would be additional rewards.
Of course, Light Cluster rewards are the most important thing.
Where else could he find such a good thing?
“With Sister’s kind consideration, I am willing to establish a cooperative relationship with the Dan Palace and help relieve Sister and the Dan Palace’s worries.”
Lu Xuan earnestly said,
“The main thing is to make a contribution to the sect. As for the rewards from
the light clusters, they are not that important.”
He added in his mind.
“Well, welcome Junior Brother Lu to our team. With your achievements in cultivating spiritual plants, you will definitely not disappoint us.”
Guan Wan said softly.
“May I ask Sister Guan what kind of spirit plant it would be?
After a rough intention to cooperate, Lu Xuan curiously asked.
“The specific type of spirit plant depends on the needs of the alchemy masters in the Dan Palace. In addition, the Agricultural Department Hall also needs to go through a process, within ten days at most, we should be able to get it and give it to you, Junior Brother Lu.”
“If not unexpected, it should be one of the main materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.”
“Foundation Establishment Pill?”
Upon hearing the words of the woman in yellow, a hint of surprise appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.
“As far as I know, the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill is a core secret of the sect. If the corresponding spirit plants are given to others to plant, will it lead to the risk of formula leakage?”
He said with some worry.
“You’re overthinking, Junior Brother.”
“There are many types of spirit plants needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Among them, there are many third-grade and above spirit plants, and it’s not so easy to gather all.”
“Furthermore, even if you know which types of spirit plants are involved it doesn’t matter.
Alchemy places more emphasis on the processing methods of various materials, the proportions, refining techniques, and even the rank of the pill fire, etc.”
Guan Wan said with full confidence.
“Really? Then I am relieved.”
Although Lu Xuan agreed verbally, he was skeptical about what Guan Wan said. Other cultivators, even if they collect all the spirit plants required for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, cannot successfully decrypt the pill formula.
But he is different. He only needs to cultivate an important spirit plant, and he has a high probability of getting the Foundation Establishment Pill formula from the light clusters!
After cultivating spirit plants for so many years and obtaining hundreds to thousands of light clusters, Lu Xuan has already found a certain pattern. Although the rewards from the light clusters seem to be random, in fact, they are traceable, and are deeply related to the rank, effects, and properties of the spirit plants.
For example, Spirit Firefly Grass, which can be used to refine Recovery Qi- Enriching Pills, the rewards include the Pills and their recipe, and may even replace the pills, directly increasing one’s cultivation level.
Sword Grass, an innate sword instrument, gives rewards like Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, Sword Embryo, Flying Sword.
And the recently matured Flaming Fruit, which has a rich fire-attributed spiritual energy.
The rewards from the light cluster include the third-rank magic weapon Explosion Bead, third-rank elixir Dan of Burning Element, Red Lotus Flame, and “Fire Manipulation Secret”, all related to fire spirit.
So, if he grows a spirit plant used as a main ingredient in the Foundation Establishment Pill, then when it matures, he can probably get the Foundation Establishment Pill, or even its formula, from the light cluster.
Thinking of this, LuXuan’s smile deepened.
“Then, I will trouble Sister Guan to pay attention. If it is confirmed, you can come to my cave and find me.”
“I usually stay in the cave, cultivating spirit plants and raising spirit beasts.” Lu Xuan gave the woman in yellow a Communication Talisman.
“Alright, I will come and bother you when the time comes.” The woman in yellow happily took the talisman and left directly.
Lu Xuan’s mouth curled up.
“I have always followed the rules in the sect, and I originally didn’t plan on stealing such vital pill formulas, but unexpectedly, they are thrusting themselves at me, making their way directly into my mind. I can’t refuse, even if I wanted to.”
“The core secrets of the sect, the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, are now in my head.”
