Chapter 236: The Inebriated Immortal's Gourd
Chapter 236: The Inebriated Immortal's Gourd
"The Xiacu are infamous in the cultivation world for their elusive nature and sinister methods. They are far more challenging to deal with than demonic beasts of the same level."
"I already have a third-grade Pure Jade on me, but its main use is to detect the presence of the Xiacu. Its offensive capabilities against them are limited."
"The second-grade Purity Chant can purify the Xiacu to some extent, but it's only effective against weaker ones. Now, with the Cloud Mountain Jade Ritual, I can inflict severe damage on the Xiacu, compensating for the lack of offensive power of the Pure Jade."
Lu Chen stored the Cloud Mountain Jade Ritual in his storage bag and continued inspecting his spirit fields.
At the sword-gourd vines, there were four remaining gourds, their skins a mottled green and blue. Lu Chen approached the rack constructed from discarded flying swords and examined each gourd carefully.
As his spiritual sense drew near, the gourds seemed to react, increasing their gentle swaying in the breeze, and a clear, resonant sword hum emanated from within.
Lu Chen even sensed a powerful and sharp sword intent emanating from within, as if it were about to pierce through him at any moment.
"Good, this one's mature."
The progress bars below the four gourds were at least half-full, and the one at the very bottom, likely nourished by more sword qi, was completely filled.
A black sword light flashed, and the vine holding the gourd was instantly severed by the Xunlei Sword Light. The sword-gourd fell into Lu Chen's hand.
"Good quality, indeed."
A third-grade spirit plant, constantly nourished by a first-grade discarded flying sword, and after spending some time in a blessed land, had yielded a sword-gourd of good quality, which pleased Lu Chen immensely.
He carefully stored the gourd away and turned his attention to the white light cluster hanging on the vine.
The white light cluster flickered slightly, and with a gentle touch, it transformed into countless microscopic sword auras that surged into Lu Chen's body, causing a slight stinging sensation on his skin.
Immediately, a thought flashed through his mind.
Harvested a third-grade sword-gourd and obtained a fourth-grade sword talisman, the Whistling Sea Sword Talisman.
As the thought vanished, a talisman appeared in Lu Chen's hand, neither metal nor jade. The talisman resembled a small sword tip, containing a surging sword intent like roaring ocean waves.
Whistling Sea Sword Talisman, a fourth-grade sword talisman. Upon activation, it releases an endless torrent of sword intent akin to terrifying waves, capable of severely injuring or even slaying mid-to-late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators with a full-power strike.
The number of sword auras released can be controlled, but they cannot be replenished.
"Another Whistling Sea Sword Talisman of the fourth grade."
Lu Chen took out another talisman from his storage bag, which he had obtained previously.
Back in the Langyue blessed land, Lu Chen had used half of the sword intent within a talisman to block three fellow disciples who were vying for the Phoenix Wood with him.
Compared to the newly acquired talisman, the ocean wave sword intent within the old one was noticeably thinner.
However, he was well aware that even half of the sword intent was currently his most powerful offensive tool.
Thus, he was delighted with the duplicate reward from the light cluster.
He continued his inspection of the spirit fields.
The other spirit plants in the fields had grown significantly.
The second-grade Ice Bell Fruit and Blazing Flame Fruit had both entered their maturity stage, bearing fruits.
Around the Ice Bell Fruit tree, a chilling aura permeated the air, and the deep blue spirit fruits hung low, exuding an astonishing coldness.
In contrast, the Blazing Flame Fruit tree was a fiery spectacle, with its spirit fruits a fiery red, looking like clusters of blazing flames from a distance.
One ice and one fire, they seemed to respond to each other, and Lu Chen already anticipated the dual sensory experience when he tasted them together.
The other spirit plants in the fields were thriving. The second-grade Rainbow Dress Grass swayed like a celestial being's feather cloak, dancing gracefully in isolation. On the mountaintop, the second-grade Sun Fragrance Fruit braved the scorching sun, its golden flowers following the sun's path.
Only after a thorough inspection did Lu Chen return to his house.
It was indeed precious to obtain rare spirit herbs in the blessed land, but he was well aware that such opportunities were few and far between. However, the cultivation of spirit plants was within his control.
By constantly tending to their needs and monitoring their conditions, along with the abundant rewards from the light cluster, farming had become his foundation.
For the next month or so, he stayed mostly on the mountain peak, quietly cultivating the numerous spirit plants and nurturing his spirit beasts.
In his spare time, he practiced the Grand Five Phases Art and other cultivation techniques. Occasionally, he would go out to meet with his fellow sect members or spend time with Liu Su and the others.
Perhaps due to his extremely low-key nature, despite offending the three handsome young men, the expected troubles never came, and his days remained calm and peaceful.
Lu Chen was pleased with this state of affairs and continued his farming and cultivation at his own pace.
In the spirit fields composed of Earth Spirit Soil, the earth-attribute spiritual energy was rich and pure. Lu Chen channeled his spiritual power, performing the Earth Drawing Technique, causing cracks to silently appear in the soil.
He took out dozens of slender spirit seeds emitting a faint blue light from his storage bag and carefully placed them into the cracks.
These were the Water Glowgrass spirit seeds that he had been storing for some time.
As he didn't currently possess any high-grade spirit seeds, it would be a waste to leave the Earth Spirit Soil fields empty. Additionally, since the Water Glowgrass was related to his cultivation, Lu Chen decided to plant all of these second-grade spirit seeds in the Earth Spirit Soil fields.
In the end, over eighty Water Glowgrass spirit seeds occupied an entire field. A light drizzle fell over the field, seeping into the Earth Spirit Soil and nourishing the slender blue spirit seeds.
After planting the Water Glowgrass, Lu Chen took the opportunity to check on the four Yunling plants in another field.
After a month of nurturing them day and night with his spiritual sense, the Yunling Pine spirit seeds had taken root and sprouted.
At this moment, the Yunling Pine resembled tiny mushrooms. Their leaves were so tender that they seemed to drip with water. Sensing Lu Chen's approach, the tiny tree trunks gently swayed, creating invisible waves of pine breeze.
The Yunling Pine saplings were full of vitality, exuding a lively and playful aura, and conveyed a very affectionate thought to Lu Chen.
"As expected of a fourth-grade spirit plant, it almost seems to possess a certain level of sentience."
Lu Chen marveled, using his spiritual sense to nurture and cultivate the four Yunling Pine saplings for a while before continuing his inspection of the spirit fields.
"Another mature Sword-Gourd? And it's of superior quality!"
As he approached the Sword-Gourd vines, Lu Chen keenly sensed that one of the gourds on the vine had fully matured.
He carefully plucked it, and as he focused his mind, a thought flashed through his head.
[Sword-Gourd, a third-grade spirit plant...]
Where the gourd had been plucked, a white light cluster quietly appeared, flickering slightly, attracting Lu Chen to reach out and touch it.
With a gentle touch, the light cluster burst open, transforming into a stream of light that surged into Lu Chen's body.
A thought appeared in his mind.
[Harvested a third-grade Sword-Gourd and obtained a fourth-grade treasure, the Inebriated Immortal's Gourd.]
A dark yellow gourd suddenly appeared in Lu Chen's hand.
