Chapter 1252: The Mysterious Book of Tian Gong
Although the Qinglian Wine was only a six-grade treasure, the commotion it caused was not small.
For some cultivators who loved the cup of wine, a six-grade treasure was easily obtainable, but a six-grade spiritual brew was extremely rare.
Moreover, the Qinglian Wine was not an ordinary six-grade spiritual brew; it had the extraordinary effect of tempering the physical body and nourishing the divine soul, making it even more valuable.
As for the price of nearly three hundred thousand spirit stones per bottle, it was nothing in the eyes of a Yuan Ying Zhenjun.
On this day, Lu Xuan was in the midst of refining the Zi Zai Wuliang Jiancao when a familiar voice sounded outside his cave abode.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, I've come to visit you."
Li Xuanchen, guided by the white ape, entered the cave abode with ease.
"It's been a long time, Brother. Your demeanor has become even more impressive."
Lu Xuan smiled and said.
"Brother Lu, have you been selling Qinglian Wine in your store recently?"
Li Xuanchen's eyes widened.
"Yes, that's true."
"When I heard about this, I immediately sent my disciples to purchase it, but that kid is so useless, he didn't manage to get a single bottle. It's really infuriating!"
"Hahaha, it's not the fault of the disciple. Brother Lu released too few bottles of the spiritual brew."
Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
"That's where you're wrong, Brother Lu."
"You intentionally released only three bottles of Qinglian Wine. How can that quench anyone's thirst?"
Li Xuanchen's tone carried a hint of reproach.
"Brother, you're thinking too simply. Those few bottles of Qinglian Wine required an unknown amount of materials for Brother Lu to brew."
Lu Xuan's acting skills were on full display as he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Indeed, a six-grade spiritual brew is difficult to brew."
Li Xuanchen nodded, then suddenly changed the topic.
"Therefore, I'm not saying this to criticize you, Brother Lu, but you should do your best to increase production and brew more Qinglian Wine."
"Cough, cough. If there's extra Qinglian Wine, I wouldn't mind purchasing a few bottles through internal channels."
"Brother Li, why are you saying this? If you want to drink it, just say so."
"Brother Lu, you still have a few bottles left for yourself."
Lu Xuan interrupted directly, and a bottle of Qinglian Wine, as pale green as a blooming lotus, appeared before him.
Then, he took out two white jade wine cups and poured a full cup for Li Xuanchen.
Li Xuanchen's eyes lit up, and he took a big sip, shaking his head and savoring the unique flavor of the six-grade spiritual brew.
"Not bad, not bad at all!"
He couldn't stop praising it and finished a cup of Qinglian Wine in a few gulps.
"This cup is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones."
He couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother, you're being too polite. Between you and me, how can we measure our relationship with a mere spirit stone?"
"If Brother Li really can't let it go, when a new high-grade sword grass is cultivated in the Dongxuan Realm, I'd appreciate it if you could help me pay more attention to it."
Lu Xuan smiled and said.
As an elder of the Sword Palace, Li Xuanchen was in charge of spiritual plants. When the Jiemei Juefa Sword Grass Sprout was still in its infancy, he was the first to inform Lu Xuan, allowing him to make sufficient preparations and successfully cultivate the Sha Sheng Zhenyu Jiancao, thus securing the eight-grade sword grass sprout.
"Of course, of course. I can't guarantee that it will all fall into your hands, Brother Lu."
Li Xuanchen, slightly tipsy, spoke frankly.
"Brother Lu, obtaining the Jiemei Juefa Sword Grass is already enough for me."
"It's just that I'm too obsessed with high-grade sword grass, so I'm willing to help fellow disciples who want to obtain the sword grass sprout."
Lu Xuan assumed a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
"Brother Lu, your integrity is admirable."
Upon hearing this, Li Xuanchen's expression became solemn, and he cupped his hands in respect.
"By the way, Brother Li, I'd like to inform you that the Zi Zai Wuliang Jiancao obtained from the sect has been successfully cultivated to maturity."
Lu Xuan chuckled softly, and countless sword lights that had reached the pinnacle of differentiation emerged before him. The sword lights converged and dispersed without form, changing endlessly, and finally condensed into a divine sword blade.
"Zi Zai Wuliang Sword Grass..."
"Its quality is exceptional, and the sword intent is pure!"
"Junior Brother, you truly live up to your reputation as the most renowned Spirit Plant Cultivator in the Sword Sect!"
Li Xuanchen intently observed the Zi Zai Wuliang Sword Grass, expressing his admiration.
Lu Xuan's cultivation of this seven-grade sword grass further solidified his unparalleled skill in spirit plant cultivation.
The latest news spread like wildfire, and everyone was eager to hear the details.
It was common knowledge that cultivating sword grass was easier than refining magical treasures or pills of the same grade, but it still carried a significant risk of failure. Cultivating high-grade sword grass with superior quality was even more challenging.
Even the most skilled sword cultivators within the Sword Sect approached the cultivation process with caution, knowing that success in cultivating seven-grade or even eight-grade sword grass was not guaranteed.
"With this Zi Zai Wuliang Sword Grass, if you help other sect members cultivate it, it will be a powerful testament to your skills."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to make the necessary arrangements, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan responded with a smile.
He had already obtained two seven-grade sword grasses and one eight-grade sword grass. Taking the newly cultivated high-grade sword grass spirit seed would be a bit unreasonable, so it was better to cultivate it on their behalf.
The cultivation reward was secondary; whether it was more or less didn't matter to him. The opportunity to earn a Light Cluster Reward was enough.
The two of them indulged in a drinking session, sampling various spiritual brews one after another. After a long while, Li Xuanchen staggered away, his steps unsteady.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and in the spirit field, a seven-grade spirit wood entered the harvest stage.
The Wan Duan Wood burst forth with a white light cluster.
Lu Xuan gazed at the pitch-black spirit wood before him, expressing his surprise.
This Wan Duan spirit wood was a gift from the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak in gratitude for Lu Xuan's assistance in resolving the Jian Xuan Hedgehog's anomaly. It was a seven-grade spirit plant.
During the growth of the spirit wood, it required constant compression and forging using refinement techniques until it matured into a natural semi-finished magical treasure.
"It seems this Wan Duan spirit wood isn't one of those long-lived spirit plants that can grow for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It reaches maturity when it forms."
He silently speculated in his heart and plucked the half-meter-tall spirit wood.
"Although it's not very tall, it's concentrated with essence."
"And with just a bit of refinement, it can become a mid-grade magical treasure, which would be highly attractive to many Yuan Ying cultivators."
Lu Xuan sensed the unique qualities of the spirit wood, his gaze falling on the faintly flickering white light cluster.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light cluster. In an instant, the cluster shattered silently, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that soared into the sky and quickly condensed into a slender light river, flowing into his body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his Sea of Consciousness.
【Harvested a seven-grade Wan Duan spirit wood, obtained the treasure "Tian Gong Mystery Book."】
The thought vanished, and a mysterious jade book appeared before Lu Xuan out of thin air.
The surface of the jade book shimmered with treasure light, adorned with intricate and dense patterns that exuded a sense of profound mystery.
Lu Xuan's mind focused on the jade book, instantly revealing detailed information about it.
【"Tian Gong Mystery Book," the ultimate inheritance technique of Tian Gong Mountain, records extremely rare craftsmanship methods in the cultivation world, including but not limited to water refining and thunder refining techniques. By comprehending and integrating these methods, one can independently explore the forging techniques for seven-grade magical treasures.】
"Indeed, it's a treasure related to refinement, but without a detailed grade, I'll need to study the methods within the jade book to estimate its value."
Lu Xuan contemplated silently.
