Chapter 136
"Thank you, Junior Brother," said Lu Xuan.
Hearing this, a pleased expression crossed the face of the gentle-looking young man, who promptly handed the peculiar little tree to Lu Xuan.
He had chanced upon this odd tree, and while its extraordinary nature was evident at a glance, he knew nothing of its variety or how to cultivate it.
Thus, it remained stored away in his bag, sadly watching the life force within the tree slowly ebb away.
Now, being able to limit the loss in time and receiving three pieces of exquisite Clear Spirit Tea leaves and a rare second-grade Dark Marrow Fungus from Lu Xuan, it was a rather good outcome for him.
Lu Xuan was equally content, passing the Clear Spirit Tea leaves and Dark Marrow Fungus to the gentle young man.
The brief meeting ended swiftly, and Lu Xuan bid farewell to Bai Li Jianqing, returning to his cave residence.
There, he assessed the gains from this meeting.
Trading eight pieces of Clear Spirit Tea leaves and a Dark Marrow Fungus for a second-grade Demonic Beast Barbaric Bull's skeleton, four seeds of second-grade Ice Chi Fruit, a decent alchemy furnace, and most importantly, the peculiar little tree.
All were items he currently needed.
"Refining cultivation does yield good results. It improves the quality of spirit plants and raises their value."
"If those Clear Spirit Tea leaves and Dark Marrow Fungus were of ordinary quality, exchanging them for these items would have been much more challenging."
Thinking to himself, Lu Xuan felt fortunate to be able to grasp the immediate state of spirit plants and provide them with the most detailed cultivation conditions to enhance their quality, thus securing more benefits for himself.
With four seeds of Ice Chi Fruit and the peculiar little tree in hand, Lu Xuan headed to the spiritual field.
With a thought, he initiated the Earth Attraction Technique, causing the structure of the spiritual soil to transform, revealing a slender crack.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Lu Xuan buried one Ice Chi Fruit seed in the crevice, skillfully concealing it within the altered soil.
Then, focusing his mind on the seed buried in the soil, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Ice Chi Fruit, second-grade spirit plant. Its mature fruit possesses a natural icy taste and is incredibly delicious."
"Consuming it rapidly replenishes spiritual power within the body. Additionally, it exhibits excellent healing effects for external injuries caused by fire-based techniques and internal injuries from fire-related poisons."
"During cultivation, it requires nourishment from ice-based spiritual power."
Regarding the peculiar growth of the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood, Lu Xuan wasn't too concerned. Whether it was a normal or sinister spirit plant, if it brought rewards, it was a good spirit plant!
He dug out the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood from the spiritual soil, planning to take a trip in the next few days to plant it in the small courtyard in Sword Gate Town.
"Ah, cultivating spirit plants is like having multiple layers of schemes. One field for cultivating normal spirit plants and another for cultivating sinister ones."
Lu Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile, aware that this was a necessary measure. After all, his current identity was that of a legitimate disciple of a prestigious sect. If others discovered he was cultivating those underworld spirit plants, it would create a negative impression.
However, this minor inconvenience would vanish in the face of the bountiful rewards to come.
Taking out the alchemy furnace he exchanged, Lu Xuan arranged the prepared medicinal materials.
"After absorbing so much experience from the Foundation Cultivation Pill recipes, it's time for a practical test."
Lu Xuan felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation, much like a novice observing a teacher's demonstrations countless times and finally having the chance to practice himself.
After the initial awkwardness, his movements became faster and more proficient, as if he had simulated each step in his mind countless times, fully understanding each upcoming action.
After a while, a warm flow surged out. The lid of the furnace was thrown open, and five perfectly round, pure white pills shot out.
Lu Xuan manipulated his spiritual power, catching the pills in his palm.
"Succeeded!"
"The first time refining pills and achieving such great results! Truly worthy of the Foundation Cultivation Pill recipe experience I absorbed."
Lu Xuan sighed with a smile.
The quality of the five Foundation Cultivation Pills was impressive, unlike what a first-time alchemist could typically produce.
"If any senior from a sect were to witness a first attempt at refining pills yielding such smooth results and even high-quality pills, they would exclaim"
"A pill cultivation genius, so terrifying!"
Imagining this scenario, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile. He knew his capabilities very well; his success in refining pills was solely due to the absorbed pill recipe experience.
Therefore, he looked forward even more to cultivating spirit plants that would yield high-grade pill recipes as rewards.
