Chapter 214: A Journey of Sparks and Lightning
Chapter 214: A Journey of Sparks and Lightning
Lu Chen arrived at a spiritual herb field and, with a thought, a wisp of pale green Qi emerged from his dantian, a manifestation of the Greenwood Prime Qi.
Suddenly, his right index finger glowed with a faint green light—a vibrant, lively energy that caused the surrounding spirit plants to stretch their branches and leaves towards him involuntarily.
Lu Chen gently pressed down, infusing the pale green Qi into a mutated Spirit Glowwort.
Soon, the Spirit Glowwort exuded a vigorous vitality, and through his spiritual sense, Lu Chen could perceive its rapid growth, several times faster than normal.
He focused his mind on this mutated Spirit Glowwort, sensing the simple yet intense joy the plant conveyed to him.
He then approached a second-grade Fiery Flame Fruit and repeated the process, infusing a wisp of the pale green Qi into the plant.
Upon observation, he found that the Greenwood Prime Qi had a much weaker effect on the Fiery Flame Fruit compared to the Spirit Glowwort. Nonetheless, it still noticeably promoted the fruit's rapid growth.
"Perhaps it's due to the difference in grades," Lu Chen analyzed. "That Spirit Glowwort, despite being a mutated spirit plant, remains ungraded, creating a significant gap between the two. It's only natural that the effects of the Greenwood Prime Qi would differ."
He glanced at the grass puppet patrolling the spirit herb field in the distance, dutifully guarding the area, and summoned it over. A noticeably thicker stream of green light appeared on his finger, which he pressed against the puppet's chest, where gray grass was entwined.
A green dot appeared on the gray-black chest and rapidly expanded, soon covering the entire torso of the grass puppet.
Stimulated by the Greenwood Prime Qi, the gray-black grass ropes that composed the grass puppet's body frantically extended, tightly wrapping around its chest, transforming the puppet into a monster entwined with overgrown weeds.
"I didn't expect it to aid in the growth of the grass puppet as well. What a pleasant surprise," Lu Chen murmured, sensing the puppet's improved condition.
It had been a while since the grass puppet had advanced to second-grade, and with the large-scale harvesting of Spirit Glowwort temporarily halted, it hadn't received any Grass Spirit Primal Essence for some time, causing its previous stockpile to deplete.
Now, with the more effective Greenwood Prime Qi, he could accelerate the growth of the grass puppet.
Lu Chen continued his experiments and discovered that, apart from speeding up the growth of spirit plants, he could also manipulate their growth to some extent. Moreover, he could even replenish the consumption of Greenwood Prime Qi by absorbing the vitality of the spirit plants.
"This strand of Greenwood Prime Qi has immense utility," Lu Chen thought, "but absorbing their vitality to replenish it will cause damage to the spirit plants. Therefore, I must use it judiciously and only when necessary."
He decided to use the Greenwood Prime Qi exclusively for cultivating the highest-graded spirit plants to hasten the acquisition of the lucrative light group rewards.
After some experimentation, Lu Chen let the pale green light group float in his dantian as he carefully examined the various spirit plants in the field.
The mutated Spirit Glowwort he had obtained previously had all been used to refine spirit seeds, and with the additional eight hundred spirit seeds that had undergone multiple inductions, he now possessed over two hundred mutated spirit seeds.
"With these two hundred mutated Spirit Glowwort, I can plant another batch, refine them, and obtain a thousand to two thousand new mutated spirit seeds," Lu Chen mused. "Then, I can commence a new round of induction experiments."
"I should be able to obtain an improved variety of Spirit Glowwort soon," he added silently, a sense of awe washing over him.
As soon as he planted the spirit seeds, he would be able to discern whether the mutation was successful. If they were damaged, he would discard them, and if they were ordinary, he would continue the induction process.
Through this rigorous selection process, he would obtain a far greater number of mutated spirit seeds compared to normal inductions. Additionally, by bypassing the time spent on cultivating useless mutated spirit plants, his process of improving spirit plants was undoubtedly much simpler and more efficient than that of other cultivators.
Thanks to the constant nourishment from the Golden Marrow Jade Fluid, and the continuous enhancement from the Luli Dang Gu Fa and the Tai Xu Hua Long Pian, the hardness of his skeletal structure was now comparable to a third-grade artifact. Even the extremely sharp edge of the Jian Cao could not pierce his palm's epidermis.
"Above-average quality. Not bad."
Lu Chen inspected the quality of the Jian Cao and turned his head towards the faintly shimmering white light group on the ground.
"It's time for the rewards again!"
From the previous harvests of two Jian Cao, he had obtained the Xun Lei Jian Wan and the Jian Tai from the white light groups, which heightened his anticipation for the rewards that this Jian Cao's light group might bring.
With a gentle touch, the light group transformed into countless luminous specks that pierced into Lu Chen's body like blades.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Harvested a second-grade Jian Cao and obtained a third-grade flying sword, the Zidian Jian (Purple Electric Sword)
.
As the thought crossed his mind, a peculiarly shaped flying sword appeared in Lu Chen's palm.
The slender sword was about three feet long, with a deep purple blade adorned by faint red patterns. Occasionally, sparks of electricity flickered across its surface.
A slanted bend that angled upward and then dropped gave the sword a distinctive appearance, resembling a bolt of lightning that had been directly sliced from the sky.
Lu Chen focused his attention on this unusual flying sword, quickly learning more about it.
Purple Electric Sword, a third-grade flying sword forged from special minerals found in the Rigid Wind. When in use, the sword is imbued with electric spiritual power.
"A third-grade flying sword is just what I need right now."
After advancing to the Foundation Establishment realm, Lu Chen possessed numerous third-grade treasures, but he lacked a suitable third-grade artifact for combat.
The previously obtained Liyin Ren (Silver Splitter)
and Hongxian Zhen (Red Line Needle)
had long been discarded, and the second-grade Chi Yan Jian (Red Flame Sword)
was starting to become inadequate for his current stage. Now, the third-grade Purple Electric Sword perfectly filled this gap.
"Now that I have this new flying sword, I should sheath it properly and let it adjust."
A slight smirk appeared on his face as he took out the Yang Xuan Jian Shao (Nurturing Mystery Sword Sheath)
.
The rustic sword sheath currently housed the old flying sword, the second-grade Red Flame Sword, which had been residing there for quite some time.
When Lu Chen drew out the Red Flame Sword, the dense fire-attributed spiritual power almost materialized, flowing out like molten lava from the cracks of the sword sheath.
"The nurturing effect is quite good. The fire-attributed spiritual power contained in the sword is now richer and purer."
Lu Chen examined the Red Flame Sword in his hand and marveled.
"As a reward, I'll let you try out a new flying sword today. It naturally carries the power of lightning, and I guarantee you'll enjoy it."
He gazed at the Nurturing Mystery Sword Sheath, from which hot lava was still flowing out of the sheath's opening, and chuckled.
The sword sheath trembled slightly at his words, and a thin layer of spiritual energy membrane quietly formed at the opening, attempting to isolate the approaching Purple Electric Sword.
Lu Chen coldly snorted, and the sword, like lightning, pierced straight toward the sheath's opening.
"A mere spiritual energy membrane. Watch as my Purple Electric Sword slices through it!"
The sword tip easily penetrated the membrane and entered the depths of the sword sheath.
A faint purple glow appeared on the sword's surface, dancing wildly within the sheath and causing it to shudder incessantly.
After a long while, the rustic sword sheath finally calmed down, only to tremble occasionally, indicating that things were not as peaceful inside as they seemed on the surface.
"The residual fire-attributed spiritual power from the Red Flame Sword that was previously sheathed still lingers, and now the Purple Electric Sword is adding its electric stimulation. There's a saying for this, isn't there?"
"Holding the purple lightning, I sheath my sword, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning in my wake~!"
Lu Chen couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
