Chapter 1058: Time to Restock!
Chapter 1058: Time to Restock!
After a bountiful harvest, the Spirit Field was left with only a handful of spirit plants.
Eighteen stalks of the Fifth Rank Omnipresent Grass stood in various forms, resembling ferocious beasts lurking within the field.
Due to the lack of continuous nourishment from beast souls over the years, the growth of the Omnipresent Grass was slightly slower than that of the Pure Yang Golden Lotus and others from the same batch.
Lu Xuan quickly extracted some beast souls from the Soul-Attracting Lamp and crushed them into soul fragments, infusing them into the Omnipresent Grass.
Not far away, the Sixth Rank Spirit Binding Cage was still a long way from maturity.
Countless dark black vines stretched out, intertwining and connecting to form a wooden cage the size of half a house.
The structure of the cage was incredibly intricate and complex, constantly undergoing strange changes as if it were a naturally formed restriction.
Lu Xuan took out a Third Rank Strange Insect from his Gluttonous Worm Bag and tossed it towards the Spirit Binding Cage.
Instantly, the Spirit Binding Cage became lively and vibrant, with wooden vines tightly binding the giant insect and swiftly pulling it into the cage.
The cage's surface rippled and distorted as if something inside was trying to break free, and faint cries of despair from the insect could be heard.
However, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't find a single opportunity to escape from the Spirit Binding Cage, which seemed like a natural restriction. After a dozen or so breaths, it calmed down.
Lu Xuan sensed the satisfaction emanating from the Spirit Binding Cage through his spiritual perception, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
With a flash of his body, he appeared in mid-air high above the cave abode.
In the distance, sixteen Star Fruits floated and gently spun in the air, their surfaces radiating dazzling starlight as if communicating with the true stars in the boundless sky.
Lu Xuan carefully sensed with his spiritual perception and noticed that the progress bar beneath the Star Fruits was almost full, indicating that they would be fully mature very soon.
In the Spirit Field, the Fifth Rank Crimson Flame Persimmon had already borne over twenty large, fiery red fruits the size of fists, which stood out vividly amidst the fiery cloud-like foliage.
"The Omnipresent Grass, Star Fruits, and Crimson Flame Persimmons are all Fifth Rank. It will take at least a year, and at most three years, for them to fully mature."
Lu Xuan sighed and entered the core area of the Spirit Field.
The Aquamarine Thunder Vine was deeply rooted in the Thunder Pool, and its branches and leaves seemed to dance with faint green thunder. Thick vines hung down, and at the ends of some vines, clusters of azure thunder essence could be seen.
The thunder essence was condensed yet not scattered, exuding both vibrant vitality and a destructive aura, both seamlessly fused together.
"After all this time, the Aquamarine Thunder Vine has indeed condensed quite a bit of Sixth Rank Thunder Essence."
Lu Xuan flew into the midst of the deep green vines and collected a total of over twenty clusters of azure thunder essence from two Aquamarine Thunder Vines.
The thunder essence had a wide range of uses. It could temper the physical body, assist in cultivating thunder law mystical techniques, and also feed high-level thunder beasts.
Lu Xuan cultivated the Celestial True Law and two thunder-attributed mystical techniques, and he also raised thunder beasts like the Thunder Dragon and Thunder Ghost. Thus, his demand for Aquamarine Thunder Essence was considerable.
In the region of the Spirit Field where the giant softshell turtle's corpse was buried, the Seventh Rank Azure Dragon Wood had already taken on seven to eight parts of a true dragon's form. Its roots and stems wound and stretched out, resembling a true dragon with bared fangs and claws.
The moment Lu Xuan entered, a faint dragon's roar seemed to sound, and a subtle dragon's aura permeated the entire area.
"The Azure Dragon Wood has been cultivated for many years, and the nurturing conditions are extremely favorable. It won't be long before I can hand it over to the Heaven Azure True Lord."
"At that time, while receiving the reward of a Seventh Rank spirit plant's light orb, I'll also get the True Lord's payment. How wonderful!"
Lu Xuan carefully tended to the Azure Dragon Wood and returned to the house.
"After harvesting such a large wave of rewards, the next step is to focus on seed cultivation."
For the spirit plants in the Thunder Fire Star Cave's Spirit Field, Lu Xuan had mastered the seed cultivation method for most of them, allowing him to achieve stable batch production.
Over the next period, aside from visiting some familiar cultivators in the Thunder Fire Star Cave, Lu Xuan spent most of his time on condensing the Spirit Seed.
"Ice Firefly Grass, Pure Yang Golden Lotus, Five Elements Illusion Fruit, Essence Storage Grass, Icefire Fruit..."
"There are quite a few seeds to condense."
Lu Xuan sighed softly as he took out the Soul Stealer Jade and infused his Spirit Perception into it.
Then, he began to cultivate the divine techniques that had sprouted from the Light Orbs.
Three days passed in a flash, and as he returned from a familiar Core Formation cultivator's cave abode, he spotted a tall, elderly man with crimson eyes waiting at the entrance.
"Wood Daoist, you're here!"
Lu Xuan greeted him with a smile.
"Lu Daoist, you've made me wait so long. Hurry and bring out a few bottles of Spirit Brew so I can have a good drink!"
Wood Daoist waved the large piece of spirit-rich demonic beast meat in his hand, speaking impatiently.
The two of them entered the small courtyard.
"Wood Daoist, is the Trading Guild busy these days? This time, I can stay longer and help the guild handle some trivial matters related to Spirit Plant cultivation."
Lu Xuan asked somewhat guiltily.
"Do you still remember your duties as a Guest Scholar?"
Wood Daoist replied without ceremony, as the two had shared countless bottles of Spirit Brew and didn't need to be so formal.
"There aren't many lingering Spirit Plant issues in the guild, and most have been resolved by other Spirit Plant Cultivators."
"Lu Daoist, instead of worrying about those issues, it's better to cultivate more high-grade Spirit Plants for the guild."
Wood Daoist said with a smile.
After successfully cultivating several batches of Starfruit, Lu Xuan's current value to the guild lay in his Spirit Plant cultivation skills, which had reached the Profound Realm.
The high-grade Spirit Plants had a 100% survival rate, and their quality far surpassed those cultivated by other Spirit Plant Cultivators. Where could they find such a skilled cultivator?
"Alright, as long as the guild sends Spirit Seeds, I'll take them on."
Lu Xuan readily agreed, hoping the guild would send more high-grade seeds.
After chatting for a while, Lu Xuan informed his friend about the current growth status of the Starfruit and its estimated maturation time.
"By the way, Lu Daoist, you should stock up on some Fourth and Fifth Rank Spirit Brews in your store. In recent years, they've been hard to come by, and sometimes only one bottle is released every few days!"
"As soon as they're released, other cultivators snatch them up. Even with Spirit Stones, I can't buy them."
Wood Daoist suddenly remembered something and muttered with blurry eyes.
"Alright, how about I sell you some at a discount?"
"Friends are friends, but if you want to take some back, you'll have to exchange them for Spirit Stones!"
Lu Xuan laughed, tilting his head back.
"Qinghai must have had a difficult time these past few years."
A thought suddenly rose in his mind.
When he left the Liyang Realm, he had left a large number of treasures for Hong Qinghai, including pills, sword talismans, and spirit brews, which he had an unusually high success rate in refining.
However, no matter how many treasures there were, they couldn't withstand the test of time.
"Fortunately, the General Store has been doing well, mainly catering to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators. The treasures I left behind can barely sustain the business for a considerable period."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
He accompanied Wood Daoist in a drinking spree, and after sending the tipsy Wood Daoist to the cave's entrance, he turned to enter his own abode.
Located in the Safe Zone, Wood Daoist was still somewhat sober, so Lu Xuan didn't need to worry about his safety.
"Don't go flying and end up falling to the ground."
As Lu Xuan watched Wood Daoist leave, Hong Qinghai slowly emerged from a faint thunderous glow.
"Senior Lu..."
He greeted him respectfully, a hint of resentment in his voice.
