Chapter 472: Jade Washing Spirit Dew
Chapter 472: Jade Washing Spirit Dew
"Everyone is rushing into the secret realm, unlike me, who can only stay in my cave, relying on cultivating spirit herbs and raising spirit beasts to maintain my cultivation."
The Black Devil Abyss was vast, harboring countless evil spirits, demonic beasts, and rare spiritual minerals and elixirs that were coveted cultivation resources. Even Lu Chen, who rarely ventured out, was well aware of its reputation.
With the emergence of a new large-scale secret realm, it also meant that countless opportunities would arise, naturally attracting countless cultivators.
Located not too far from Tianjian Sect, it would only take a few days to reach the Black Devil Abyss, so it was natural that the sect's cultivators were eager to explore it.
However, Lu Chen remained true to his passion for farming and continued to diligently tend to his fields within the sect.
"As long as the sect stands, I can farm until the end of time."
His spiritual energy stirred within him, and strands of ethereal rain fell, nourishing the spirit herbs in his fields.
After carefully inspecting and tending to his various spirit herbs, Lu Chen made his way to the formation hall and used the teleportation array within to enter the Imperfect Secret Realm.
He periodically checked on his normal high-grade spirit herbs, which were cultivated in this realm.
The dark golden cracks of the sixth-grade Phoenix Tree had formed an increasingly solid phoenix illusion, exuding a lively aura as it danced and whirled.
The fifth-grade Vajra Bodhi, nourished by the wishes of the Buddhist artifact, the Demon-Subduing Spike, had also entered its growth phase. The young seedling resembled a tiny meditating monk, instilling a sense of tranquility and peace in those who beheld it.
The Dragon Bone Grass was the happiest in the Spirit Spring, with its long, dragon-like black grass joyfully swimming in the spirit liquid, forgetting its homesickness.
The fifth-grade Pure Jade Tea, nurtured by the pure spiritual energy of the secret realm and the nurturing soil of Wuling, had sprouted tender buds.
The surface of the tender buds glowed with translucent spiritual light, as if capable of washing away all impurities from one's body and mind.
Other spirit herbs like the Emperor Earth Date and Seven Emotion Beans were also thriving.
Lu Chen even went out of his way to visit the Seven Emotion Beans and skillfully displayed various emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, allowing the spirit herb to absorb and feast on these emotions.
Additionally, the Flame Fruit and Ice Vine Fruit planted in the secret realm, along with the Sword-Rearing Gourd, had all entered their maturity phase. Lu Chen estimated that the next time he came, he would be able to harvest the orbs of light.
Upon returning to the sect, he immediately entered the Myriad Demon Cave blessed land and diligently fulfilled his responsibilities as its caretaker. He also took the time to bond with the Old White Ape and the Old Dragon Tortoise.
Every few days, he ventured into the forbidden grounds to collect the beast flesh, blood, and souls needed for the spirit herbs in the Underworld Courtyard. Along the way, he would check on the experiments of the Greenhill Fox with its fierce beasts, helping it to cut its losses in time.
Time flew by, and before he knew it, more than a month had passed.
When Lu Chen returned to the sect again, he found a transmission talisman floating outside his cave abode.
He pulled it towards him with his spiritual energy, and a gentle female voice echoed from it.
"Brother Lu, it's been a while since we last met. I was wondering if you have the time to guide your junior brothers and sisters in their knowledge of spirit herbs?"
The voice belonged to Liu Su, a well-known spirit herb cultivator in Tianjian Sect and a familiar acquaintance of Lu Chen. They had once explored the Bless Moon Blessed Land together.
"Sure, Sister Liu. I'll come by tomorrow to share my experiences in cultivating spirit herbs with everyone."
Lu Chen infused the transmission talisman with his spiritual energy and returned to his cave, ready to immerse himself in the busy yet fulfilling life of a farmer.
The next day, he arrived at Liu Su's cave abode right on time.
"Brother Lu," greeted the group of cultivators waiting at the entrance.
"Good day, Brother Lu," echoed the others.
"Greetings, fellow brothers and sisters," Lu Chen replied.
As he entered the courtyard, Liu Su gestured for Lu Chen to take the main seat, and he obliged, neither refusing nor putting on airs.
With his increasingly evident talent and skill in the art of spirit herb cultivation, Lu Chen had gradually become known to more and more fellow disciples within the Tianjian Sect.
Despite his low-key nature, rarely venturing out of his cave abode and socializing with others, the entire inner sect knew of their fellow disciple who was a spirit herb cultivator, passionate to the extreme about nurturing spirit herbs, even prioritizing them over his own cultivation.
His talent and proficiency in this field were terrifying, and he had helped the sect solve numerous related problems.
If that was the extent of his reputation among outsiders, then it was even more so within Liu Su's small circle of spirit herb cultivators.
When Lu Chen had first joined as an inner sect disciple, he had, by chance, entered this exclusive group of spirit herb cultivators and learned many little tricks of the trade.
None of them could have imagined that the slightly awkward junior disciple would, in just over a decade, grow to such an extent.
This caused a drastic change in their impression of Lu Chen, and their conversations with him now carried a hint of goodwill.
Lu Chen answered earnestly to their various questions, helping them resolve many doubts.
He hardly needed to cultivate, spending most of his time nurturing spirit herbs, studying related knowledge, and mastering the instantaneous states of the herbs. This was akin to pointing directly at the source and the Great Dao, giving him a profound understanding of the art of spirit herb cultivation. Often, just a few words from him would pinpoint the root of a problem, enlightening his peers and instantly clarifying their confusion.
After spending half a day together, Lu Chen bid farewell to the group, who were reluctant to part ways. He returned to his cave abode.
Seeing that it was still early in the day, he slowly walked through the ridges and furrows of his spirit fields, inspecting the detailed conditions of the numerous spirit herbs.
"Oh? A Jade Washing Spirit Dew has matured."
During his inspection, Lu Chen unexpectedly discovered that on one of the Jade Washing Spirit Dew spirit herb plants, the progress bar below a spirit herb had filled up completely.
The spirit herb was crystalline like jade, with what appeared to be dew droplets on its surface, slowly flowing yet never dispersing. It seemed as if the entire spirit herb had been rinsed over and over again by clear and chilled spring water, appearing pure and flawless.
Jade Washing Spirit Dew, a third-grade spirit herb, cultivated using pure, mist-like spiritual energy. It contains abundant pure spiritual power and can be used as a main ingredient in various pills, consumed directly, or brewed into a spirit brew.
"A spirit herb of ordinary quality, but not bad at all."
Lu Chen carefully plucked the Jade Washing Spirit Dew, storing it in a specially crafted jade box to prevent the loss of its vitality.
In the place where the spirit herb had been, a white ball of light quietly appeared, gently flickering among the leaves.
A smile curved Lu Chen's lips as he reached out and gently touched the surface of the ball of light.
The light quietly shattered, turning into countless specks of light that circled around the spirit herb's leaves and gathered towards Lu Chen.
As they entered his body, he felt a tingling coolness seep into his skin, causing his pores to open in utmost delight.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Harvested a third-grade Jade Washing Spirit Dew and obtained a fourth-grade spirit brew, Jade Washing Spirit Dew.
A ball of spirit liquid appeared in Lu Chen's hand. Though it was a liquid, it possessed the qualities of jade—rich, pure, flawless, and translucent. Holding it gave a refreshing feeling to the touch.
Jade Washing Spirit Dew, a fourth-grade spirit brew, brewed using Jade Washing Spirit Dew as the main ingredient. When consumed, it washes away impurities from the cultivator's body and spirit, leaving their internal spiritual energy pure and without leakage.
