Chapter 117

Chapter 117

Within the Spirit Field.

All sorts of spirit plants were thriving splendidly.

The third-grade Illusory Smoke Fruit's shroud of mist expanded gradually, thankfully Lu Xuan had left enough space for it in advance, avoiding any impact on the surrounding spirit plants.

The glossy black vines of the Dragonvine were adorned with bewitching red and green patterns, resembling a sinister snake lurking in the shadows.

The second-grade Flowing Light Wood and Yin Locust Tree, acquired from the Agricultural Hall, had shown considerable growth during this period. The semi-transparent spiritual threads on the Flowing Light Wood increased significantly, requiring much effort from Lu Xuan to guide them properly.

Within the cave where the Yin Locust Tree grew, the Yin energy grew heavier, emitting a distinct chill upon entry.

The sections of the Copper Bone Bamboo continued to grow taller, their colors deepening.

Twenty-eight Blood Jade Ginseng plants obtained through the consolidation method also thrived, reassuring Lu Xuan about his skill in refining spirit plants.

The Firefly Grass had reached a stage of substantial maturity, and Lu Xuan meticulously inspected each blade, harvesting thirty fully matured strands.

Among these, seven were of good quality, fifteen were of superior quality, and the remaining eight were of perfect quality.

At this point, out of the two hundred Firefly Grass plants, a hundred and sixteen remained. Lu Xuan had no intention of harvesting all of them, planning to reserve a portion for refining the Firefly Grass spirit seeds.

After the harvest, thirty faintly shimmering white orbs appeared.

One by one, Lu Xuan absorbed them, each reward flashing through his mind like a carousel.

The orbs provided him with nearly seven years' worth of cultivation. A massive influx of spiritual energy surged into Lu Xuan's body, raging wildly between his meridians and dantian.

"I've reached this point solely through my own efforts!"

"Orbs, boost my cultivation!"

Lu Xuan silently commanded within his mind.

Once the turmoil subsided, Lu Xuan sensed a subtle breakthrough, surpassing a mysterious barrier, elevating his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

"The ninth level of Qi Cultivation..."

"What comes next is accumulating cultivation diligently and increasing the possibility of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm."

Lu Xuan was filled with myriad emotions. In just two and a half years, his cultivation had skyrocketed like riding a rocket, leaping from the second level of Qi Cultivation to the ninth. Even the previously seemingly distant Foundation Establishment realm didn't appear too far off.

"With my own talent, background, and resources, it might have taken me at least two and a half years to break through to the third level of Qi Cultivation, let alone the middle or high tiers."

He thought to himself, feeling immensely fortunate to have obtained the white orbsa stroke of enormous luck.

After settling his thoughts, Lu Xuan approached three second-grade Clear Spirit Tea plants.

On the old roots, there were still fourteen tender and verdant tea leaves emitting a refreshing fragrance.

"Roar, Roar!"

Just as Lu Xuan was about to leave, a strange fiery red serpent hadn't moved away; it remained in its designated area, whimpering softly, conveying a sense of pleading in its voice.

"Hmm?"

Lu Xuan halted his steps, bending down to carefully observe the serpent's body below.

Upon seeing Lu Xuan's attention, the serpent flipped its belly up, revealing a massive, deep-to-the-bone wound on its stomach, the exposed flesh and skin indicating intense pain.

"Injured?"

Lu Xuan asked with concern.

The second-grade strange serpent seemed to understand his inquiry, enduring the pain to gently nod its head.

"Was it a companion while dining?"

Lu Xuan's eyes held a trace of coldness.

"Roar..."

The fiery red strange serpent hurriedly shook its head, denying it.

"It seems to have been the other cultivators' Flood Dragons and serpents in the nearby areas

."

Seeing that it wasn't caused by his own nurtured creatures, Lu Xuan felt somewhat relieved.

The Thousand Dragon Lake spanned hundreds of miles, where first and second-grade Flood Dragons and giant pythons lived without distinct territorial boundaries, each finding their own water area to inhabit.

Hence, occasional conflicts and resource competition among them occurred. This second-grade strange serpent had likely been defeated while contending with other cultivators' nurtured Flood Dragons and serpents.

"You, unable to even win in a fight with your own kind?"

"With so many friendly companions around, peacefully sharing meals, didn't you think of rallying them to deal with it?"

Lu Xuan's tone carried a strong sense of indignation as he descended from the high platform, arriving near the serpent's wounded belly.

He gently floated on the lake's surface, retrieving a second-grade healing ointment, the Pure Snow Lotus, from his storage baga product from the Clear Snow Lotus he had previously cultivated.

Taking a small portion, he carefully applied it to the fiery red serpent's wound.

"It seems necessary to unify the thinking of these Flood Dragons and pythons, so they stop fighting among themselves."

Lu Xuan thought to himself as he applied the ointment.
