Chapter 570: A Surge in Cultivation
Chapter 570: A Surge in Cultivation
"I've finally gathered two hundred orbs of light at once." Lu Chen chuckled.
In the spirit field, nearly two hundred white orbs of light flickered slightly, scattered across the land.
The over two hundred and fifty Water Glowgrass plants he had planted in Black Star City had all matured.
Lu Chen had the idea of drawing two hundred orbs of light at once, so after the first batch of Water Glowgrass matured, he used the Primordial Green Wood Qi to ripen the rest, resulting in the abundance of orbs before him.
As Water Glowgrass was only a second-grade spirit plant and already close to maturity, it didn't consume much Primordial Green Wood Qi.
"With two transplantings, the initial planting in the spiritual environment of Black Star City did affect them a bit. The average quality is slightly lower than before."
He sighed, collecting all the Water Glowgrass and, in a flash, tapping each of the two hundred orbs of light.
In an instant, the orbs exploded simultaneously, countless tiny lights converging into streams of light that flowed into Lu Chen's body.
Harvested a second-grade Water Glowgrass, gained one year of cultivation.
Harvested a second-grade Water Glowgrass, obtained a third-grade Water Dragon Talisman.
Harvested...
Thoughts flashed through his mind like a carousel, as rewards appeared before him, in his mind, and throughout his body.
His spiritual power surged instantly, like a dam bursting, overwhelming and unstoppable.
Lu Chen stood still, rapidly circulating his cultivation technique, transforming and compressing the surging spiritual power within him into drops of pure spiritual liquid that merged into his dantian.
"Out of these two hundred orbs of light, thirty-two were cultivation rewards, giving me forty-seven years' worth of cultivation."
After a long while, as he absorbed the vast influx of spiritual power, he sighed, "The path of cultivation requires more time and resources the further one progresses. With my mediocre talent, these cultivation rewards might take those genius cultivators less than a decade to achieve."
"However, at my current pace, I'll only need to harvest a batch of orbs like this once or twice more to break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Now, I can start preparing for the Pill Formation stage. If I can find a spirit plant like the Holy Infant Fruit that increases the chances of Pill Formation, it would be perfect. The rewards from these orbs might be related to that."
Having harvested countless orbs, he noticed a pattern—the rewards often correlated with the type and effects of the spirit plants.
Among the remaining orbs, there was an abundance of second-grade Spirit Condensing Pills, nearly a hundred of them, along with several third-grade Water Walking Beads, Water Dragon Talismans, and experience packages for refining Spirit Condensing Pills.
While these items weren't of much use to Lu Chen at his current stage, they could still be traded for a substantial number of spirit stones.
Satisfied, Lu Chen continued to inspect the rest of his spirit plants.
He had been in the Thunderfire Cave for half a year now, spending most of his time in his cave abode, cultivating spirit plants and spirit beasts, and the rest of the time cultivating his cultivation technique and refining pills to maintain his skill.
During this period, he had also befriended some nearby cultivators and occasionally ventured to the outskirts of Leihai to collect strange fires, condense thunder pearls, and bring them back to nurture the Phoenix Wood and Purple Micro Thunder Fruits.
All the various spirit plants in his cave abode were now on the right track, with some even entering a rapid growth phase, nearing maturity.
For example, the remaining three Arrow Vines, the Earth Emperor Dates that had been planted in the incomplete secret realm, the first batch of Green Lotus Sword Grass from the high-grade sword grasses, as well as the Thousand Coiling Hands and Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng from the aberrant spirit plants.
Additionally, among the high-grade spirit plants, the two Dragon Corpse Grasses were close to maturity, and the Holy Infant Fruit tree had also entered its maturation stage.
Having spent a considerable amount of time in Thunderfire Cave, Lu Chen felt the urge to venture out and explore.
With the Thunderfire Token in hand, he flew out of the vortex of thunder and arrived at the Plucking Stars Tower.
Outside the tower, a large number of cultivators had gathered, naturally forming a bustling area with numerous shops springing up around it.
Lu Chen strolled along the wide streets, observing his surroundings with keen interest.
"The Hailou Chamber of Commerce?"
He paused in his tracks. From his prior investigations of the Liyang Realm, he knew that the Hailou Chamber of Commerce was a formidable force, with branches spanning the entire Zhongzhou continent and even reaching into other realms.
With that in mind, Lu Chen did not hesitate to step inside.
As soon as he entered the chamber's building, ripples of spiritual power stirred, as if he had instantly stepped into a new dimension.
"It is said that the headquarters of the Hailou Chamber of Commerce is a high-grade artifact. It seems to be of the spatial type, as even a single branch exhibits spatial anomalies."
Lu Chen couldn't help but marvel.
The building bustled with people, and all sorts of treasures dazzled the eye, emitting radiant beams of light.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist."
A graceful female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage approached him with a gentle demeanor and a warm smile.
"May I ask what brings you here today? Rest assured that within the Hailou Chamber of Commerce, we will do our utmost to satisfy your needs."
"I wish to sell a few magical artifacts, and also, I'm interested in acquiring suitable spirit herbs," Lu Chen replied with a smile.
"Please follow me, fellow Daoist."
Hearing his request, the female cultivator led Lu Chen into a tastefully decorated room. Lu Chen noticed the intricate restrictions on the walls, likely set up to ensure the privacy of the chamber's customers.
"What kind of artifacts would you like to sell, fellow Daoist?"
"These ones here."
With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Chen summoned several artifacts of varying shapes and sizes onto the table.
Among them were spoils of war from the two Tribulation cultivators he had encountered, as well as a fourth-grade artifact he had kept in his collection—the Qingwei Jade Lock.
"A fourth-grade flying sword, the Chiyan Sword, in excellent condition at approximately ninety percent new, and a third-grade shield artifact with minimal wear and tear."
"Hmm? May I ask, fellow Daoist, what artifact is this? Please forgive my ignorance, but I have never seen anything like it before."
The graceful female cultivator pointed at the pure white jade lock on the table, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Intricate spirit patterns adorned the surface of the jade lock, and from time to time, a faint glow emanated from it.
"This fourth-grade treasure is called the Qingwei Jade Lock. It was crafted by the elders of my clan, and as soon as it was unveiled, it became our clan's most prized possession. We rarely let it leave our possession, so not many people are aware of its existence."
"Unfortunately, by the time it reached my generation, my family had fallen from grace, and it became difficult to even sustain our cultivation. I have no choice but to part with this treasure in exchange for resources that will aid my cultivation."
Lu Chen improvised a plausible reason, infusing his words with a hint of melancholy.
"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist. I need to consult a senior brother from the chamber who is skilled in artifact appraisal."
"This is to ensure that such a precious treasure does not go unrecognized and to gain a better understanding of its attributes so that we can make an accurate assessment."
The female cultivator's explanation was flawless and left no room for doubt.
"Of course," Lu Chen replied, expressing his understanding. He had no objections, as he was confident that the artifact crafted by the Light Group would undoubtedly be of exceptional quality.
The female cultivator released an eight-winged butterfly of vibrant hues from her sleeve and whispered a few instructions before it flew out of the room.
