Chapter 250: Jade Skin Pill, Great Sun Sword Talisman
Chapter 250: Jade Skin Pill, Great Sun Sword Talisman
With his mind focused, detailed information about the ice crystal appeared in Lu Chen's mind.
【Century Ice Spirit, a third-grade treasure. A drop of ice essence condensed from a thousand-foot glacier, after years of tempering, forms the Century Ice Spirit.】
【A primary material for refining high-grade ice-attribute pills, adding a few drops can greatly increase the success rate of pill concoction. It can also be refined and absorbed into the body to assist in cultivating certain ice-based techniques.】
"It can increase the success rate of pill concoction and is an excellent material for pill refining. It must be extremely valuable in the eyes of pill masters in the sect."
Lu Chen had some knowledge of pill refining, but he had always held a unique idea—either don't refine pills at all, or strive to refine something extraordinary.
The gap between these two extremes depended on the number of pill formulae experience packs he could acquire.
He stored the Century Ice Spirit in his storage bag and continued to examine the remaining Ice Lotus Spirit Plant, paying close attention to the spiritual fruits.
"Hey, there's one more that's fully ripe."
With his spiritual sense, he perceived the maturity of each spirit fruit and found another one on the last Ice Lotus Spirit Plant.
He carefully plucked the deep blue, crystal-like Ice Lotus Fruit, its skin coated with a thin layer of frost.
"Good quality, but ordinary."
He sighed, turning his attention to a faintly flickering white light cluster on the upper part of the spirit plant.
With a gentle touch, the light cluster extended into countless tiny frost flowers that flowed into his body.
【Harvested one second-grade Ice Lotus Fruit and obtained a third-grade Jade Skin Pill.】
A pill as white as jade appeared in his palm, exuding a slight chill.
With his mind focused once more, information about the pill emerged.
【Jade Skin Pill, a third-grade pill with extremely potent healing effects. It can regenerate severed arms for Foundation Establishment cultivators and below.】
"A third-grade healing pill, quite useful for Foundation Establishment cultivators. I should keep it in case of emergencies."
Although Lu Chen rarely ventured out and had never been injured since discovering the uniqueness of his spirit field, he knew it was always wise to have a high-quality healing pill like the Jade Skin Pill as a precaution.
There were only four Ice Lotus Spirit Plants, each bearing seven or eight deep blue spirit fruits. Despite their plump appearance, Lu Chen patiently waited for them to fully ripen, maximizing the potential reward of the light cluster.
He returned to his house and organized his harvest from the spirit field before beginning to cultivate his martial arts technique.
The next day, he sensed that the inner sect had become much quieter. Enticed by the fourth-grade flying sword, he estimated that more than thirty inner sect disciples had left to pursue the escaped Unhearted Demon.
Excluding those who were in seclusion or busy refining high-grade pills and artifacts, there were only a few disciples like Lu Chen who could resist such temptation.
However, Lu Chen was unperturbed. He knew that the probability of success was low for such a large group vying for just two or three fourth-grade flying swords, and there were also certain risks involved.
In comparison, the rewards from the white light clusters were far more appealing.
The consecutive ripening of the Blazing Flame Fruits and Ice Lotus Fruits had kept Lu Chen in a constant state of abundance.
Almost every trip to the spirit field yielded one or two spirit fruits and light cluster rewards.
His storage bag was gradually filling up with Blast Flame Pearls, Century Ice Spirits, and alternating batches of Furnace Yuan Pills and Jade Skin Pills.
After absorbing several experience packs of the Flame Manipulation Technique, his mastery of this art had reached an exquisite level. He could now manipulate flames with ease, his control was fluid, and various flame forms were readily accessible.
The continuous harvest made Lu Chen feel content, almost forgetting about the outside world.
Under the Jade Scale Spirit Plant—
Three spirit fruits exuded a faint cool breeze, their surfaces covered with layers of thin jade-like skin, resembling fish scales. The translucent flesh of the fruit could be glimpsed, and a captivating fragrance wafted from them, even from a distance.
Two pieces of reddish ore appeared in Lu Chen's hands, their surfaces pitted and uneven, with streaks of dark red agate flowing within.
The Red Sun Jade contained a large amount of jade essence and was an excellent material for refining flying swords and artifacts.
【Harvested three third-grade Jade Scale Fruits and obtained a fourth-grade treasure, the Cloud Mountain Jade Manual.】
A delicate and exquisite talisman appeared in his hand, emitting a cool feeling that seemed to dispel any evil thoughts from his mind.
The Cloud Mountain Jade Manual was refined from Cloud Mountain Jade and was naturally able to restrain strange and sinister beings. It could be used directly as a protective artifact or inscribed with exorcism talismans to enhance its power against evil spirits.
With this, all eight spirit fruits on the Jade Scale Spirit Plant had fully matured.
Lu Chen's harvest was abundant. In addition to the eight third-grade spirit fruits, he also obtained a third-grade artifact, the Seal of the Mountains, five fourth-grade spirit minerals, the Red Sun Jade, and two fourth-grade Cloud Mountain Jade Manuals.
The Red Sun Jade and the Cloud Mountain Jade Manual were spirit materials, and their value was comparable to that of the third-grade artifact, the Seal of the Mountains.
Lu Chen was quite satisfied with the rewards he had obtained from the Jade Scale Spirit Plant.
He also added it to his list of potential spirit plants for future cultivation.
Having passed the most desperate stage of his spiritual herbology journey, Lu Chen was no longer as hungry for any opportunity that came his way. Instead, he became more selective, choosing spirit plants based on their inherent value and the type of treasures offered by the light clusters.
Of course, fourth-grade and above spirit plants were not within his consideration. He would plant and cultivate them first if he happened to obtain any.
As he pondered, Lu Chen arrived below the Sword-Nurturing Gourd.
On the racks constructed from numerous second-hand flying swords, vines twined around them, and at the top hung three mottled gourds, from which the clanging of swords could be heard.
The lowest Sword-Nurturing Gourd, having absorbed more sword intent, had ripened before the other two.
Lu Chen carefully harvested it.
A thought flashed through his mind.
【Harvested a third-grade Sword-Nurturing Gourd and obtained a fourth-grade talisman, the Great Sun Sword Talisman.】
A crimson talisman appeared in his palm.
At the very center of the talisman seemed to hang a blazing sun, from which countless crimson sword auras radiated like rays of light.
The talisman exuded a formidable aura, and at first glance, one might feel as if their eyes were about to be scorched by the sun within.
Lu Chen focused his attention on the crimson talisman, and information about it immediately surfaced in his mind.
【Great Sun Sword Talisman, a fourth-grade talisman containing infinite sun sword auras. When activated, it resembles a blazing sun in the sky, captivating the hearts and minds of people, and can even cause blindness in cultivators who dare to look directly at it.】
【The sword aura is overwhelming, like the dazzling light of a million suns. When fully activated, it can seriously injure or even slay Golden Core cultivators in the middle or late stages.】
"A fourth-grade sword talisman, it seems even more powerful than the Howling Ocean Sword Talisman I obtained before."
Lu Chen couldn't help but voice his delight as he learned about the Great Sun Sword Talisman.
While his fellow sect members were out hunting the Heartless Demon and receiving fourth-grade flying swords as rewards, he had obtained a fourth-grade sword talisman from cultivating the Sword-Nurturing Gourd.
In a way, it was as if he had single-handedly taken down a Heartless Demon.
That thought crossed his mind.
