Chapter 579: Chapter 577: Lose One Gains Others_1

“Ten fourth-grade Earth Emperor Jujubes could be used to feed those few earth attribute spirit beasts.”

After harvesting the Emperor Dates, Lu Xuan thought to himself.

With a thought, the Rock-shell Turtle, which had already grown into the size of a small mountain, crawled out of the small lake. Muds splashed everywhere from its back as it pounced towards Lu Xuan.

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Lu Xuan held back the Rock-shell Turtle’s head with one hand, blocking its attempt to snuggle against him.

“Here’s something nice for you.”

He took out an Emperor Date and threw it to the Rock-shell Turtle.

The Rock-shell Turtle, despite its bulky and heavy appearance, reacted very quickly. It stretched out its head as fast as lightning, caught the Emperor Date, and swallowed it whole after a few chews.

“Roar~!”

It let out a low roar, its body glowing with a deep yellow spiritual light. In Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense, the rock-like shell on the turtle became even harder and more tightly packed, as if they had become one.

After the Rock-shell Turtle happily returned to the small lake, Lu Xuan summoned the two Two-headed Qiu Yu out.

The soil beneath his feet loosened, and two Two-headed Qiu Yu poked their sharp heads out, their four pairs of grey-white pupils fixed on Lu Xuan without moving.

“It’s not good to always stay underground, you should go out for a walk now and then.”

Lu Xuan took out two Emperor Dates and fed them to the two Two-headed Qiu Yus, one each.

“Huh?”

He suddenly felt something was off.

After being fed the Emperor Dates, the head that had tasted the fruit looked satisfied. However, its other head was gazing longingly at Lu Xuan, saliva dripping from its mouth.

“Forgot they have two heads.”

Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled, then took out two more Emperor Dates and fed them to the heads that hadn’t tasted them before.

“Hm??”

The first head that had eaten the Emperor Date looked at its other head, which was currently enjoying the spiritual fruit, turned its head, and also looked at Lu Xuan with yearning eyes.

“So you found a loophole, huh?”

Lu Xuan sighed and held his forehead. He cursed at himself for not being fair and square, he should have fed both heads with same-sized fruits at the same time.

“There’s no more spiritual fruit. Go back to the hole now.”

He waved at the two Two-headed Qiu Yus.

Only then did the Two-headed Qiu Yus reluctantly entered into the spirit soil. Before leaving, their claws absent-mindedly scraped up a handful of Wu Spirit Soil.

Of the ten Emperor Dates, there are only five left. Lu Xuan stored them carefully for the time being.

Time in the cave dwelling passed swiftly, and half a month flew by.

During this time, Lu Xuan had stayed in his cave dwelling without going out, focusing on cultivating spiritual plants.

The Thunder Fire Asterism Cave was not like the Sky Sword Sect where he knew many senior and junior brothers and occasionally had small gatherings. In the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, he only knew a few people, were all but acquaintances and maintained some distance from each other, so he was always alone.

However, Lu Xuan had long been accustomed to this simple and fulfilling farming life.

As long as he could obtain Light Clusters, he would have endless fun.

Many of the spiritual plants in the Spirit Field have matured again.

In the Primordial Essence Herb area, thirty came from the Dan Palace and three from the previous Sword Mark exchange in the Agricultural Department Hall, among which, several had completely matured.

Lu Xuan carefully inspected each Primordial Essence Herb, selecting over ten that were about to mature, and urged them to ripen with his Qingmu Origin Energy.

He had now gradually developed a habit of claiming many light cluster rewards at a time, taking ten or even a hundred low-grade Spirit Plant spheres at a time, enjoying the feeling of constant rewards.

Apart from the ten used for seed condensation, the remaining twenty-three all matured. Lu Xuan carefully dug these rather unremarkable spirit plants from the Spirit Soil, as if they were common weeds, and put them in the jade box.

Twenty-three white light clusters quietly surfaced on the Spirit Field, flickering slightly, reflecting each other.

Lu Xuan’s figure flashed like a streak of light, touching the surface of all the light clusters in an instant.

All the light clusters silently exploded at the same time, turning into light rivers, flowing into his body.

Thoughts flashed past like a tour of lanterns.

[Collected a third-grade Primordial Essence Herb and obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill.]

[Collected a third-grade Primordial Essence Herb and obtained a third-grade magic item, Naling Grass Bead.]

[Harvested …]

The rewards either appeared in physical form in front of Lu Xuan or flowed into his sea of consciousness as information.

For a moment, brilliant light burst forth in front of him, his mind filled with countless knowledge.

It seemed that in just a few moments, he had repeated countless alchemy experiences and had an even more thorough and clear understanding of the creation of the Foundation Building Pill.

“Five Foundation Establishment Pill formula experience packs, a further step on top of my existing minor achievement level in alchemy. I estimate that after absorbing a few more, I will reach a fully accomplished level.”

Lu Xuan quietly sighed in his heart.

In addition, ten third-grade Foundation Building Pills and eight third-grade Naling Grass Beads were also drawn from the light clusters.

“Even though more Foundation Building Pills are circulating in the Liyang Region than at Sky Sword Sect, no matter where, Foundation Building Pills are not common third-grade pills and are highly valued.”

When he previously entered the branch of the Star-Plucking Tower and Sea Tower Trade Association, he took the opportunity to learn about the Foundation Building Pill, the price of which was much higher than that of regular third-grade pills.

“Eight Naling Grass Beads will be a good replenishment.”

These Naling Grass Beads can be used to feed the Grass Puppets, replenish Qingmu Origin Energy, and ripen high-rank spiritual plants at critical moments, making them extremely practical.

Before leaving Sky Sword Sect for Black Star City, Lu Xuan used it to ripen several spirit plants, obtaining rare treasures like the Peacock King Sword and the Nine-Headed Dragon Map.

“The remaining ten Primordial Essence Herbs will be used for seed condensation.”

Previously when exchanging for Primordial Essence Herb spirit seeds at the Agricultural Department Hall, in order to prevent disciples from refining Foundation Building Pills privately, the sect limited the quantity of Primordial Essence Herb spirit seeds, and Lu Xuan only exchanged three.

He didn’t expect that, due to a sudden turn of events, the thirty plants entrusted to him by the Dan Palace would fall into his hands, so he would be able to obtain a large amount of Primordial Essence Herb spirit seeds in a short time.

“When I rented this Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, I spent most of my spirit stones. Now I only have many treasures that are hard to cash in. In the future, I can use the Foundation Building Pill, Dust Removal Pill, etc., to accumulate Spirit Stones.”

With the existence of the pill formulas experience pack, he suddenly bridged the gap of many alchemists’ experiences, achieving an alchemy level they could never have in their lifetime.

As long as he reached proficiency in a certain type of pill, he could make a profit from it. Lu Xuan had reached the minor achievement or even Master Level of several types of pills, with an astonishing success rate of alchemy. He didn’t need to worry about the source of his spirit stones.

“Apart from being an ordinary Spirit Plant Master, I’ve unknowingly become a Sword Dao genius and a Pill Dao master.”

Lu Xuan’s lips curved upward as he continued to check the conditions of the numerous spirit plants in the Spirit Field.

In the Underworld Area, as soon as he opened the Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array, a cold gust of wind hit him in the face, causing a tumult within the array.

Lu Xuan was afraid that the Yin Qi might diffuse out and affect the spiritual plants in other areas of the Spirit Field, so he always used the array to seal off this Spirit Field.

Once inside the array, a light red giant ball of flesh bounced in front of Lu Xuan. The thin skin on the surface fluttered like seaweed, revealing the densely packed small mouths inside.

Lu Xuan quickly took out a large piece of well-stored demon beast meat from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and threw it to the Spirit of Flesh.
