Chapter 339: Chapter 337: The Three Year Term is Over, Return to the Clan!_l
A bizarrely shaped spiritual seed.
The spiritual seed looked like a baby’s palm, white and tender. At first, Lu Xuan thought it was some kind of evil material left behind by the two evil cultivators. Only after sensing a bit of vitality within did he realize that this palm was actually a special spiritual seed.
He went to the Spirit Field, found a vacant area of Spirit Soil, and used the Earth Pulling Technique. A small crack appeared in the Spirit Field. He placed the pale palm-shaped spiritual seed into the crack.
His mind focused on this bizarre spiritual seed lying beneath the surface of the Spirit Soil, and a thought flashed through his brain.
[Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng, Fourth Grade Spirit Plant, fond of consuming the essence blood of cultivators and demon beasts. Shaped like a palm, it has a certain degree of mobility. During its growth, it will actively move towards blood sources and secretly absorb their essence blood.]
[Once matured, it can be used to cultivate evil techniques, or directly consumed to improve physical strength.]
“A bizarre spiritual plant with limited mobility.”
Lu Xuan breathed a silent sigh, picturing a little palm crawling around the soil, searching for the essence blood of demon beast cultivators everywhere.
“It’s a good addition to the collection of bizarre plants in the Underworld Court.”
After the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, Thorn Bone, and Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree matured one after another, the only bizarre plants left in the small courtyard at Sword Gate Town were Fifth Rank Holy Infant Fruit Plant and Blood Scourge Flower.
Adding two formidable newbies in the Secret Land, the Four Rank Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng and Fifth Rank Strange Longevity Peach.
He took a bottle of Water Dragon Essence Blood from his storage bag and dropped it into the spirit soil next to the tender white palm.
Through his spiritual sense, he felt the handprint left in the Spirit Soil greedily absorbing the fresh Water Dragon Essence Blood. Soon, strands of blood-red veins appeared, adding an eerie element to the originally tender and pure white palm.
After briefly nurturing the newly obtained Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng, Lu Xuan began to inspect the other spiritual plants in the Spirit Field.
When he had all the spiritual plants set to their optimal state and was about to go inside, he suddenly sensed a disturbance beneath his feet.
When he looked down, he saw a white palm, stained with streaks of blood, emerging from the soil and grasping tightly to his trouser leg. The place where his calf made contact with the palm felt a surge of vitality.
“This Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng, has quite a strong mobility.”
Lu Xuan moved the white palm back to its original position, sighing in secret.
“It’s a good thing its range of motion is limited, and we have the protection of the Fourth Grade Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Formation in the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town. Otherwise, it might have escaped to suck blood.”
Lu Xuan continued planting the Strange Longevity Peach, using Qingmu Origin Energy to activate the dark red peach core preserved in the congealed blood and flesh.
The many grooves on the peach core wriggled with flesh and blood, slowly infiltrating its interior, it quietly took root and sprouted.
After inspecting and nurturing all the spiritual plants, Lu Xuan finally returned to the house with peace of mind.
“This trip to the Secret Land, although I was all but certain everything was under control, I nearly had an accident.”
“The joint attack by the two late-stage Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, and the black vapor presence that was killed in the womb by the ultra-positive and extraordinary flames of the ‘Pure Yang True Fire Talisman’, any carelessness could have resulted in injuries.”
“Fortunately, I gained a lot, so the risks I took were not in vain.”
“Well, in the future, I should just stay honestly in the courtyard, nurturing spiritual plants and raising spirit beasts.”
Lu Xuan decided privately.
In the following year or so, he did just that.
Every day, he worked with spiritual plants and spirit beasts, using the rest of his time for cultivation and rehearsing sword techniques.
Occasionally, he found the time to guide Song Yun with some Sword Dao teachings, as well as imparting some experience on cultivating spiritual plants to Song Si Ning.
If invited by Shi Zhong, he would go fishing for sea fish and sea beasts to help ease his mind.
However, he had no intention of entering the depths of the sea, limiting himself to the nearby islands. The fish and sea beasts he caught were basically used to feed the Rock-shell Turtle, Green Horned Dragon Carp, and the Strange Longevity Peach and Blood Spirit Palm which required flesh.
In the meantime, both Shi Zhong and Zhou Bing Yu persistently tried to persuade him to explore the secret lands again, but were politely declined by Lu Xuan. They had to give up their attempts.𝑅êạd new chapt𝒆rs on no/v/e/l𝒃in(.)com
During this period, a crop of Water Glow Grass matured.
About two hundred Water Glow Grass plants matured, fifty of which were used to condense seeds. The rest of the hundred and fifty were contained in the White Light Cluster. Due to the majority of the Water Glow Grass being of ordinary quality, they yielded a reward of more than thirty years of cultivation advancement.
This allowed Lu Xuan’s stagnant cultivation level, which hadn’t advanced since breaking through to the mid-term Foundation Establishment stage, to progress further.
However, due to his mediocre talent, there was still a long distance to go before reaching the late-term Foundation Establishment stage.
Cultivation knows no day or night.
The final year plus of the three-year stationing period quickly passed.
During this period, the ten ordinary Sword Grass seeds that Lu Xuan had planted all matured. Because they were all cultivated using the “Four Seasons Sword Art”, the matured Sword Grass had their respective attributes, and the White Light Clusters harvested were four different types of Sword Intent Experience Packages.
After assimilating them one by one, Lu Xuan gained a brand new level of mastery over the “Four Seasons Sword Art”.
Among the other Sword Grasses, the growth progress of the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass varied significantly as the Sword Grass Spirit Seed in the Scabbard had undergone changes at different times.
The one planted first was almost fully matured.
The third-grade Starlight Sword Grass had grown into spiritual plants in the form of three-foot long swords, with starlight condensed on the sword bodies. Their dazzling beauty concealed a strong sword intent and they were estimated to fully mature in no time.
As Lu Xuan’s control over the corresponding “Thousand Owl Sword Classic” became more refined and skilled, even the Sword Thousand Owls, which he had the shortest time to cultivate, entered a rapid growth period. On the straight branches of varying sizes and thicknesses, dozens of spiritual owl birds formed from sword qi were condensed, merging with the branches. Their long, thin wings seemed like sharp, thin swords.
The Strange Longevity Peach, which had been planted for more than a year, had already grown to nearly one person’s height. The peach tree emitted a strong spiritual aura, releasing an attractive and refreshing fragrance from afar, showing its abundant vitality.
What caused a stark contrast was the small mountain of bones accumulating beneath the rich root system of the Strange Longevity Peach within the Spirit Soil.
The Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng grew from the size of an infant’s palm to the size of a seven or eight-year-old child’s palm, with the blood-red veins in the small palm becoming more robust. The entire palm faintly showed a light red color.
Moreover, its range of movement gradually increased. If it couldn’t absorb enough Demon Beast Essence Blood, it would crawl around in the Spirit Field. It almost came into contact with Song Si Ning, who had come to visit.
In a fit of anger, Lu Xuan forced it to abstain from blood for half a month as punishment for almost being exposed.
As far as spirit beasts were concerned, the Rock-shell Turtle, Green Horned Dragon Carp, Medicinal Pangolin, and even the Gathering Conch, which was used to condense sand and rocks, all grew significantly.
The Void Nether Island where he was stationed didn’t experience any significant anomalies over this year plus.
Occasionally, some sea beasts and sea fish would ambush the waters where the Void Nether Spirit Fish was being bred. They were easily dealt with by Lu Xuan, organizing the Song Family.
The apparition of the new secret land also led to traces of the evil cultivators appearing on the island from time to time. Cloud Leopards were the first to detect this, and then Lu Xuan used the Void Nightmare Eye to monitor them.
If they acted against the interests of the Void Nether Island, they would be immediately captured and used as nourishment for the Strange Longevity Peach and Blood Spirit Palm.
“The three-year term has come to an end. Is it time to return to the sect?”
Lu Xuan looked out at the boundless sea, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
