Chapter 152: Red Flame Copper, Consummate Qi Refinement
Chapter 152: Red Flame Copper, Consummate Qi Refinement
Lu Chen currently had no insect eggs in his possession, so he could only temporarily halt his plans to cultivate and plant the Mystical Insect Vine. After sowing its spirit seed, he began to inspect the rest of his spirit plants in the spirit field.
"Two more Copper Bone Bamboos have fully matured."
As Lu Chen approached the remaining four Copper Bone Bamboos, he focused his spirit sense and noticed that the progress bars below two of them were completely filled.
He took out the Silver Splitter, and the thin silver-white fragment slowly penetrated the roots of the bamboo, which resembled red bone joints, splitting them into two parts.
One of the bamboos was of good quality, while the other was of superior quality.
At the point where the root joints were severed, two faintly glowing white orbs could be seen.
A smile curved Lu Chen's lips as he gently picked up the orbs.
In an instant, the orbs transformed into countless specks of light that surged into his body.
A thought emerged in his mind.
You have harvested two Second-Grade Copper Bone Bamboos and obtained a Third-Grade spirit mineral, Red Flame Copper.
A piece of reddish ore appeared in Lu Chen's palm.
The ore was not very large; it fit snugly in one hand. It was uneven and reddish, and where it touched his palm, he could feel a distinct warmth.
When he probed the ore with his spiritual sense, he vaguely perceived what seemed like a cluster of dark red flames within. As he moved his hand, the dark red flames inside trembled gently.
Red Flame Copper: A Third-Grade spirit mineral commonly found in the depths of medium and large fire-attributed spirit veins. It contains a vast amount of fire spirit qi and can be used to refine corresponding attribute flying swords, spiritual tools, and more.
"A Third-Grade spirit mineral—it's the first time I've obtained such a treasure."
Lu Chen sighed, put the Red Flame Copper away in his storage bag, and turned his attention to the other white orb.
He gently touched the surface of the orb, and it instantly shattered into countless specks of light that flowed into his fingertips.
Soon, a drop of golden, dazzling liquid appeared in Lu Chen's palm. The liquid remained cohesive and emanated a flowing spiritual energy.
A thought flashed through his mind.
You have harvested a Second-Grade Copper Bone Bamboo and obtained a Third-Grade treasure, Golden Marrow Jade Liquid.
"Another drop of Third-Grade Golden Marrow Jade Liquid!"
Lu Chen looked at the dazzling, golden liquid in his hand with a pleased smile.
He had consumed the previous drop not long ago, and he could still clearly feel the residual power of the Golden Marrow Jade Liquid nurturing his bones. Therefore, he didn't plan to consume the new drop immediately.
He carefully placed the golden liquid into a small white jade box and stored it in his bag.
The two harvested Copper Bone Bamboos were also put away. Of the five bamboos he had planted, only two were left to reach full maturity.
Lu Chen continued to inspect his spirit field, carefully observing the growth of each spirit plant. He tirelessly cast Spirit Rain Technique and Wood Birth Technique, ensuring that the unique needs of each spirit plant were met.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and the two hundred Spirit Firegrasses he had planted nearly three months ago began to enter the final stage of maturity.
Lu Chen carefully examined them and harvested forty fully mature Spirit Firegrasses.
Among them, eleven were of good quality, twenty-three were of superior quality, and the remaining six were of perfect quality.
He picked up the forty white orbs that appeared in place of the harvested Spirit Firegrasses, and thoughts flashed through his mind, one after another, as cultivation years, pills, and talismans appeared as rewards.
He gained a total of eight years' worth of cultivation, and wave after wave of spiritual energy surged into his dantian and spirit veins, wreaking havoc within his body.
After a while, Lu Chen finally managed to turn the vast amount of spiritual energy to his use and completely absorb it.
His dantian now contained a significantly larger amount of spiritual energy, and his aura soared. With the impact of the massive influx of spiritual energy, he successfully broke through to the Consummate Qi Refinement realm.
Three years ago, he had been a mere second layer Qi Refinement cultivator, living a meager and anxious life, concerned only with survival and scraping together a few spirit stones.
But ever since the appearance of the white light group and the ability to instantly assess the status of his spirit plants, his cultivation life had taken a dramatic turn. His cultivation base had skyrocketed to the peak of Qi Refinement, and he was now ready to attempt the Foundation Establishment realm.
In addition, he had acquired various techniques, treasures, and pills as rewards. Among cultivators of the same stage, his net worth could be considered top-notch.
"Foundation Establishment... It used to be something out of my reach, but now it doesn't seem so distant anymore."
Lu Chen smiled at his own joke, filled with mixed emotions.
After joining the Tianjian Sect, during his breaks from farming, he had diligently caught up on various cultivation knowledge and learned that Zhuji, or Foundation Establishment, was the first major hurdle in the cultivation journey.
During the Qi Refinement stage, cultivators could rely on their talent and pills to break through the layers. However, once they reached the peak, advancing to the Foundation Establishment realm was no easy feat.
Out of ten cultivators who reached the peak of Qi Refinement, less than three would successfully advance to the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, making it a challenging endeavor.
When attempting the breakthrough, one often needed the protection of senior cultivators and the assistance of pills specifically designed for Foundation Establishment.
Additionally, there were some special techniques that could increase the success rate of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but such secret methods were extremely rare and far more precious than the already rare Foundation Establishment pills.
"I wonder what the outcome will be of continuously absorbing the cultivation rewards from the Spirit Firegrass."
"Will I reach a thousand layers of Qi Refinement or successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Lu Chen pondered as he looked at the various rewards in his hand.
Aside from the cultivation rewards, the remaining white light groups had granted him several talismans and pills. Aside from the third-grade Sword Qi Myriads Talisman, the rest were first-grade, which seemed a bit underwhelming for Lu Chen's current cultivation base.
Fortunately, the rewards from the six perfect-grade Spirit Firegrasses were quite satisfactory. Among them were three drops of Grass Spirit Original Liquid, a treasure that could be used to feed and enhance the strength of the Grass Puppet, aiding its advancement.
There was also a Metal-element Sword Technique experience package and two Foundation Nurturing Pill formula experience packages.
After absorbing the knowledge from the two pill formula experience packages, Lu Chen's understanding and control over the process of refining the Foundation Nurturing Pill had reached a profound level, significantly increasing both the success rate and the quality of the pills.
Lu Chen organized all the rewards and then stored the forty Spirit Firegrasses in his storage bag.
He continued to inspect the rest of his spirit plants in the spirit field and took the opportunity to feed another drop of Grass Spirit Original Liquid to the Grass Puppet, turning the giant grass tumor on its head green.
After finishing his farming tasks, he returned to the house and prepared food for the Cloud-Treading Lynx and the baby Wind Falcon.
"Lu Shidi, are you home?"
A somewhat familiar voice called out from outside the courtyard.
Lu Chen opened the gate to find Xu Shaoze, who resided on the other side of the mountain waist, standing there.
Xu Shaoze had a resolute personality and excelled in combat. He often put himself in dangerous situations, seeking out opportunities to enhance his cultivation.
Previously, at the Department of Agriculture, he had invited Lu Chen to join him on a mission to clear out an evil presence in a loose cultivator city, but Lu Chen had refused.
"It's Xu Shixiong. Please come in."
Lu Chen invited Xu Shaoze into the house.
"When did you return, Xu Shixiong? How did the mission to clear out the evil presence go? Was it smooth sailing?"
