Chapter 172: Expanding Opportunities

Spheres of light surged into Lu Chen's body, one after the other, filling his mind with insights. In his hands, talismans, pills, and treasures appeared, and his spiritual energy surged throughout his body, granting him a plethora of new pill formulas and cultivation techniques.

Lu Chen slowly converted the surging spiritual energy and absorbed it into his dantian.

The forty-one white spheres of light bestowed upon him the cultivation of nearly nine years, further enriching and deepening the spiritual energy within his body.

"I'm getting closer to attempting a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"But my talent is truly too ordinary. Compared to those geniuses, the amount of spiritual energy I've gained in nine years is minuscule."

"I wonder when I'll come across a spirit plant or light sphere reward that can enhance my talent..."

Lu Chen sighed inwardly, but he was also aware that pills capable of enhancing one's talent were incredibly rare and precious. With his current perfection in Qi Refining, it would be difficult for him to obtain such treasures.

Among the remaining white light spheres, the rewards primarily consisted of first-grade pills and first-grade talismans. There were also two cultivation technique packages—one for Wood Birth Technique and the other for Earth Drawing Technique—which Lu Chen absorbed, deepening his understanding of these arts.

However, he was still far from the Grandmaster realm where his manipulation of the techniques would be effortless.

Additionally, the rewards from the six perfect-quality spirit plants were quite satisfactory. They included two second-grade Sword Qi Abundant Talismans, three drops of the rare and precious Grass Spirit Primal Liquid, and a formula for the Pei Yuan Dan pill.

Lu Chen summoned the Grass Puppet and poured a drop of Grass Spirit Primal Liquid into the gray bump on its large head.

Under the influence of a vast amount of wood and plant spiritual energy, the gray bump turned green before his eyes.

"Go now, and keep an eye on the spirit fields."

After transforming the Grass Puppet's bump, Lu Chen waved goodbye to his long-time companion.

The Grass Puppet gently shook its head, its thin legs resembling chopsticks as it patrolled the ridges of the spirit fields with its oversized head.

"As my cultivation base continues to rise, the rewards provided by the Spirit Glowwort are becoming less and less significant."

"But I can't just get rid of it. After all, up until now, only the white light spheres it produces have given me cultivation rewards. It's my lifeline."

"Perhaps I can try to improve it and see if I can create a first-grade variant of the Spirit Glowwort. Maybe then I'll be able to obtain even more cultivation rewards."

Lu Chen gazed at the now-vacant section of the spirit field, his mind filled with thoughts.

He possessed the knowledge of how to refine the spirit of the Spirit Glowwort, and of the five hundred spirit essences he had obtained previously, he had only used two hundred, leaving him with three hundred more to experiment with.

With such a large number of spirit essences, he could boldly attempt various experiments without worrying about losses.

He decided to divide his improvement efforts into two stages. The first stage would focus on the spirit essences, trying various methods to induce mutated spirit essences. The second stage would involve the Spirit Glowwort during its initial growth phase, where he would alter its environment or cultivation methods to adapt a small number of them to the changes, ultimately producing superior breeds.

There were still seventy-seven Spirit Glowwort plants remaining, most of which were close to full maturity and not suitable for further stimulation. Lu Chen decided to wait until the next batch of Spirit Glowwort sprouted before commencing his experiments.

"Aside from improving the breed of the Spirit Glowwort, I also need to prepare for the Foundation Establishment stage."

"For disciples who have reached perfection in Qi Refining and are attempting a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage, the sect provides additional benefits, such as discounted Foundation Establishment pills, free access to secret realms suitable for breakthroughs, and protective Foundation Establishment guardians."

"Of course, in case my first attempt at a breakthrough fails, I must also make some preparations on my own."

"Lastly, I need to gather the corresponding treasures to assist in my cultivation of the Taixu Hualong manual as soon as possible."

"I can't just let those dragon essence blood vials sit there, wasting spiritual energy..."

Lu Chen muttered softly to himself.

In addition, his desire for rare and high-grade spirit essences remained unchanged, as did his need for materials like demon beast bones, eyeballs, and insect eggs.

Lu Chen set his goals for the coming days, carefully stored the numerous mature Spirit Glowwort plants, and continued his inspection of the spirit fields.

Under the Sword-Nurturing Gourd, he placed a second-hand flying sword, allowing the lush green vines growing amidst the waste copper and iron to freely absorb the sword intent within.

He imbued the second-grade Ice Lotus Fruit with an ice-attribute technique, allowing it to revel in the cold, carefully tended to the flowing spirit patterns on the Flowlight Wood, and provided ample cold spring water to the Yin Poplar tree within the cave...

And so, the days passed, both busy and simple.

"You didn't find any issues with the dragon essence blood, did you?"

"I must thank you again, Brother Lu, for helping to get rid of those Hidden-Scale Fish last time."

After dealing with the Hidden-Scale Fish that were parasitizing the dragon serpent, Lu Xuan had gained even higher regard among the cultivators who bred dragons.

As he entered the stone cottage, they greeted him warmly.

"Fellow brothers, rest assured. After testing the dragon essence blood drawn from the dragon serpent day and night during this period, I haven't found any problems," Lu Xuan said calmly.

Hearing this, the tensed bodies of the crowd relaxed noticeably.

"Brother Lu, are you free? If you are, please come with me. There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

As they conversed, a mature and resolute-looking Huang Yuan walked in and spoke to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan was puzzled but followed Huang Yuan into another stone cottage.

The cottage was empty, with only the two of them present.

"The last time we parted, I didn't delay in reporting the matter of the Hidden-Scale Fish parasitizing the dragon serpent at the bottom of Thousand Dragon Lake to a Senior Martial Uncle," Huang Yuan explained slowly.

"The Senior Martial Uncle quickly sent people to dive to the lake bottom and used a special magical tool to get rid of the Hidden-Scale Fish fry in the lake."

"It's good that the Hidden-Scale Fish are gone. Is there another problem?" Lu Xuan asked, perplexed.

"There is one issue," Huang Yuan continued. "The Senior Martial Uncle who came dealt with the Hidden-Scale Fish fry in the lake, but he didn't help get rid of the Hidden-Scale Fish that were parasitizing the internal bodies of the dragon serpents!"

"Those Hidden-Scale Fish have extremely strong stealth capabilities and have almost fused with the bodies of the dragon serpents and giant vipers. Discovering their traces is several times more difficult than finding the fry at the bottom of the lake.

You have to get close to the dragon serpents and giant vipers and carefully probe with your spiritual sense to detect them."

"In the Thousand Dragon Lake, there are nearly a thousand first- and second-grade dragon serpents, giant vipers, and aberrant pythons. If we were to inspect each one, the Senior Martial Uncle felt it would be too troublesome. So, after teaching us the method, he left directly."

"But the efficiency of the outer sect disciples' inspections is really too low, and there's a fear of omissions, which could eventually lead to huge losses.

Therefore, the fellow brothers from other waters found me and asked me to inquire if you could help get rid of the Hidden-Scale Fish parasitizing the bodies of the dragon serpents and giant vipers they are breeding."

Lu Xuan nodded gently, indicating his understanding. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Brother Huang, we've known each other for quite some time now, and we've developed a certain bond. I dare to ask, did that Senior Martial Uncle truly find it troublesome, or is he holding out for a better deal, taking a step back to gain more benefits?"

Lu Xuan asked in a low voice, as he was concerned about offending that Foundation Establishment Senior Martial Uncle if the latter was indeed demanding a bigger reward.

"Brother Lu, you can rest assured about this. I know that Senior Martial Uncle very well; he truly found it troublesome and didn't have any other intentions. I can guarantee this with my life," Huang Yuan quickly clarified, understanding Lu Xuan's concern.

"In that case, I am relieved," Lu Xuan said with a smile. With such an opportunity to expand his business, why would he refuse?

"Then, what about Brother Lu's remuneration..." Huang Yuan said in a low voice as he looked at Lu Xuan.

Those fellow brothers were from other waters in the Thousand Dragon Lake, and unlike the cultivators from the same water area, they didn't have much of a relationship with him. Hence, he didn't dare to promise them about Lu Xuan's inspection fee.

"The same as before is fine. Additionally, I can also regularly draw blood to perform health checks on the dragon serpents and giant vipers they are breeding," Lu Xuan said with a slight curve of his lips.

"After all, we're all fellow sect members; it's only right that we help each other out."

"I just hope that Brother Huang and the other fellow brothers can understand that I'm giving up my own cultivation time to come here for inspections. When drawing blood, facing so many fierce dragon serpents is inevitably a little pressurizing, and breaking through their innate defenses is also exhausting. So, I have to charge a small fee in spirit stones as a service fee."

He explained sincerely to Huang Yuan.
