Chapter 535: The Peacock King's Sword
Chapter 535: The Peacock King's Sword
Time was of the essence, and Lu Chen wasted no time in putting his plan into action.
In the spirit herb field, 200 stalks of Waterfire Grass illuminated the entire field with their slender, deep blue leaves sparkling like stars.
Within Lu Chen's dantian, a pale green globule slowly rotated, and strands of Primordial Wood Source Qi flowed from his fingertips, permeating the nearby Waterfire Grass.
The Waterfire Grass greedily absorbed the fundamental essence of plant qi, causing the slender leaves to unfurl and the plants to brim with vibrant vitality.
As they absorbed more and more Primordial Wood Source Qi, the plants grew at a visible rate. With focused attention, one could even see the translucent progress bar below slowly inch forward until it was completely filled.
Lu Chen repeated the process, moving on to mature the next batch of Waterfire Grass.
The Waterfire Grass was already at a mature stage, and with Lu Chen's aid of Primordial Wood Source Qi, one plant after another reached full maturity.
The pale green globule in his dantian gradually dimmed and diminished in size.
When the time was right, Lu Chen retrieved a Nascent Spirit Grass Pearl from his storage bag. Spiritual energy surged, and from within the pearl, a rush of lush plant qi transformed into wisps of green mist, merging with the pale green globule.
The globule regained its fullness.
From the previous batch of 30 Hidden Energy Grass, Lu Chen had harvested 11 Nascent Spirit Grass Pearls. With the additional four he had saved earlier, he now had a total of 15 third-grade spirit pearls, which were more than enough to aid in the maturation of the current batch.
Half a shichen later, all 200 stalks of Waterfire Grass in the spirit herb field had reached full maturity. Lu Chen harvested 150 of them, leaving 50 for seed condensation, which he carried with him.
"One hundred and fifty globules," Lu Chen chuckled to himself, delighted by the sight of the glowing orbs scattered on the ground.
His figure flickered like a fleeting ray of light, gently brushing against each of the 150 globules.
In near-perfect synchrony, the globules silently exploded, transforming into radiant rivers of light that surged into Lu Chen's body.
Thoughts and notifications flashed through his mind like a carousel.
【Harvested a 2nd-grade Waterfire Grass, gained 1 year of cultivation.】
【Harvested a 2nd-grade Waterfire Grass, obtained a 3rd-grade treasure, Water-walking Pearl.】
【Harvested...】
Pills, talismans, elixir recipes, and cultivation experience flooded his mind, appearing in his hands, thoughts, and even permeating his limbs and bones.
Out of the 150 globules, 28 of them granted Lu Chen over 40 years' worth of cultivation progress.
At that moment, the spiritual energy within his body raged like a tempestuous storm, wreaking havoc throughout his limbs and bones.
Lu Chen activated the Great Five Elements Technique, diligently refining the surging spiritual energy within him and transforming it into drops of pure, refined essence that flowed into his dantian.
"Forty years of cultivation progress," he mused. "I'm one step closer to completing the Foundation Establishment. It's a pity that my talent is mediocre, and the extent of my progress pales in comparison to those cultivation geniuses."
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he felt the dense and surging spiritual energy within his dantian.
The remaining globules yielded rewards that were less exciting for Lu Chen's current stage, including Spirit-infused Pills, pill recipes, Water Dragon Talismans, and Water-walking Pearls—items that were slightly underwhelming and could only be exchanged for spirit stones.
"The 2nd-grade Waterfire Grass has a relatively low seed condensation difficulty. I should be able to successfully condense them during this period," Lu Chen said softly as he gazed at the mature Waterfire Grass he had left untouched.
He then made his way to the spirit herb field where 20 Jade Dew Fruits were growing.
Each Jade Dew Fruit bore four to five translucent spiritual fruits. The surface of the fruits appeared as if they had been cleansed by clear spring water, flawless and devoid of any impurities.
Due to the previous successful cultivation of Jade Dew Fruits, the Dan Dian had doubled the number of spirit seeds sent, resulting in a total of 20 seeds.
Slender strands of pale green spiritual energy seeped out from his fingertips, permeating the Jade Dew Fruit plants.
The surface of the spirit fruits was enveloped in mist, and tiny dewdrops appeared on the translucent leaves, crowding together as they moved silently and merged into the branches and fruits.
"It's finally ready," Lu Chen murmured.
After adding two more Nascent Spirit Grass Pearls, he gazed at the now fully mature twenty-four Jade Dew Fruits and carefully plucked them.
As soon as the fruits were picked, twenty-four faintly glowing white orbs appeared where they had been.
A smile tugged at Lu Chen's lips as he swiftly glided through the air, gently brushing against each of the orbs in an instant.
Thoughts flashed through his mind.
【Harvested a third-grade Jade Dew Fruit, obtained a fourth-grade Pure Dust Pill.】
【Harvested a third-grade Jade Dew Fruit, obtained a fourth-grade Jade Cleansing Spirit Dew.】
...
A flood of information surged into Lu Chen's sea of consciousness.
From the twenty-four orbs, he gained four Jade Cleansing Spirit Dew formula experience packets and three Pure Dust Pill formula experience packets.
Lu Chen stood there, his mind feeling swollen, and it took a while before he fully absorbed and digested the information.
After absorbing several experience packets, he gained new insights and reached a whole new level of understanding when it came to formulating the Jade Cleansing Spirit Dew and refining the Pure Dust Pills.
Subsequently, he turned his attention to the numerous treasures floating before him.
Nine clusters of flawless and translucent spirit liquid were the fourth-grade spirit brew, Jade Cleansing Spirit Brew, which could cleanse a cultivator's body of impure qi, leaving their spiritual energy pure and refined.
There were also six pills that exuded a clear and refreshing qi—the fourth-grade Pure Dust Pills Lu Chen desired, capable of purging and purifying evil and corrupt qi.
Additionally, there were two fourth-grade magical artifacts—the Clear and Subtle Jade Lock, which could transform freely and directly lock onto targets within a certain range, proving to be extremely effective against evil beings.
"These twenty-plus orbs are all pretty good; they'll enhance my strength one way or another," Lu Chen remarked with a sense of gratification as he made his way to the Sword Grass spirit herb field.
In this field, he had planted two Sword Peacocks, one Lotus Sword Grass, and two newly acquired fifth-grade Sword Grasses.
Among them, only the Sword Peacock that had been planted the earliest had reached the maturation stage; the rest were still far from it, and it wouldn't be very cost-effective to hasten their growth with Primordial Wood Source Qi.
Lu Chen channeled Primordial Wood Source Qi into the Sword Peacock while simultaneously unleashing multiple strands of sword qi. The sword qis resonated with each other, forming an array that fused with the Sword Peacock.
After a long while, the Sword Peacock suddenly emitted a clear and crisp sword cry, and countless sword qis shot out from within, resembling a peacock spreading its tail feathers. The sword qis raged violently, forming layers upon layers of sword formations.
Seeing that the progress bar below was completely filled, Lu Chen carefully extracted the Sword Peacock from the spirit soil.
【Sword Peacock, a fourth-grade spirit plant. Stimulated and cultivated by differentiating sword qi and forming sword formations, it can differentiate countless sword qis upon maturity, instantly creating various sword formations.】
The thought flashed through Lu Chen's mind as he stored the Sword Peacock away in his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
His gaze was then drawn to a faintly glowing white orb on the surface of the spirit soil.
Full of anticipation, he carefully touched the surface of the orb, and it suddenly shattered into countless tiny specks of light.
The specks of light formed a peacock silhouette that instantly drilled into Lu Chen's body.
【Harvested a fourth-grade Sword Peacock and obtained a fifth-grade flying sword, the Peacock Monarch Sword.】
