Chapter 572: Viridian Sprout and Thunderclap Lotus
Deeper within the room, the wooden shelves held far fewer Spirit Seeds, and each one was carefully stored and protected by special means.
"These are all ordinary fourth-grade Spirit Seeds, which Fellow Daoist Lu should be familiar with," the gentle female cultivator said, pointing to the Spirit Seeds on the upper levels of the shelves.
Lu Xuan nodded. He indeed recognized many of them, either from his personal experience in cultivating them or from the knowledge he gained through various tomes.
"Now, these are much rarer," she said, drawing his attention to the seeds in the innermost part of the room.
A slender, emerald green sprout caught his eye. It was as thick as a finger, with a surface adorned by intricate pale green patterns. The stem resembled jade, exuding a smooth and refreshing aura that felt natural and pure.
A pale green spiritual mist hovered around the Viridian Sprout, as if nourishing it.
"This is the fourth-grade Viridian Sprout," the female cultivator explained. "It's rather delicate among its peers, requiring not only an ample supply of spiritual energy and soil but also a significant amount of time for care and cultivation."
"Once mature, the Viridian Sprout is imbued with abundant vitality. It can be used to refine healing pills or to create balms that replenish one's essence and vitality."
Next to the Viridian Sprout was a exquisite jade box. From its top and bottom, tiny streaks of thunderbolt emerged, merging into the center where a lotus seed lay.
The lotus seed was silver-white, etched with a slender streak of lightning. Upon probing with his spiritual sense, Lu Xuan detected a faint presence of thunder-attributed spiritual energy within the lightning streak.
"This is the fourth-grade Thunderclap Lotus," she continued. "During cultivation, it needs to be nourished with thunderous qi. Once the lotus seed matures, it contains pure thunder-attributed spiritual energy. Consuming it can aid in cultivating corresponding techniques or taming thunder-attributed spirit beasts."
The female cultivator seemed to have an endless wealth of knowledge about these Spirit Seeds, providing Lu Xuan with detailed explanations.
The remaining Spirit Seeds failed to capture Lu Xuan's interest, as his attention was completely captivated by the Viridian Sprout and the Thunderclap Lotus.
"The Viridian Sprout, from what you've described, seems like it would be quite challenging to cultivate," Lu Xuan mused. "It requires constant attention and wouldn't suit cultivators who prioritize their practice and often venture into secret realms. However, for me, it feels like a perfect match."
"It's imbued with abundant vitality, and such plants weren't widely cultivated in the past. Perhaps I should give it a try and see what rewards it might unlock from the light orbs," he thought to himself.
"As for the Thunderclap Lotus, there's no need to even mention it," he continued. "Since I'm already in the Thunderfire Planet Cave, the difficulty of cultivating it drops by several levels. I must get my hands on it."
He quickly made his decision, zeroing in on the Viridian Sprout and Thunderclap Lotus seeds. As for the other Spirit Seeds, he felt that his cave already had a sufficient variety of spirit plants, and adding too many more would stretch him too thin.
"How much are the Viridian Sprout and Thunderclap Lotus seeds, respectively?" Lu Xuan inquired, having made up his mind.
"The Viridian Sprout seed is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the Thunderclap Lotus seed is slightly more expensive at 6,000 low-grade spirit stones each," she replied.
"That's outrageously expensive..." Lu Xuan couldn't help but complain again about the exorbitant prices in the Liuyang Realm.
"However, with just two third-grade Jade Dew Fruits, I can exchange them for 20,000 spirit stones worth of Clear-Pulse Jade Locks. Thinking about it this way, it's still quite a profitable deal," he consoled himself, maintaining a positive outlook.
"May I ask how many Viridian Sprout and Thunderclap Lotus seeds you have in stock?" he asked.
"These two types of Spirit Seeds are quite rare. I have two Viridian Sprouts and three Thunderclap Lotus seeds," she answered.
"I'll take them all," Lu Xuan said calmly, as 280 medium-grade spirit stones floated before the gentle female cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, if your esteemed merchant association acquires any fifth-grade Spirit Seeds, please inform me," Lu Xuan requested, leaving his contact method with the gentle female cultivator before departing.
Having acquired two rare fourth-grade Spirit Seeds and profited nearly 20,000 low-grade spirit stones, he left the merchant association content.
He wandered around, purchasing some necessary items for pill refining and spirit beast nurturing, before returning to his cave abode in the Thunderfire Planet Cave.
"Even with a spacious cave abode, it seems there's never enough space for spirit fields."
"I wonder when I'll have the opportunity to acquire another secret realm of my own."
Lu Xuan arrived at his spirit field and surveyed the area before finding a small vacant patch of land.
"Ah, to possess a thousand acres of spirit fields, planting all manner of spiritual herbs and reaping light orbs!"
Lu Xuan indulged in this beautiful fantasy.
Soon, he snapped back to reality and took out the two newly purchased fourth-grade Spirit Seeds.
With his spiritual power surging, he performed the Earth-Drawing Technique, causing subtle changes in the structure of the spirit soil. He then inserted the two sections of verdant green branches into the slender crevices.
Focusing his mental energy on the branches, he instantly gained detailed information about the spiritual plant.
Verdant Spirit Branch, fourth-grade spiritual plant, imbued with abundant vitality. It has extremely strict growth requirements, needing fertile spirit soil rich in spiritual energy and pure, dense spiritual essence. Irrigation with pure spirit spring water is essential. The plant is extremely delicate and susceptible to corruption by foreign spiritual energies during its growth, requiring meticulous care.
Upon maturity, it can be used as a primary ingredient for high-grade healing pills or to replenish a cultivator's depleted essence and vitality.
A lush, verdant tree, towering high.
"It can't withstand the intrusion of foreign spiritual energies. I wonder what would happen if I planted it in the underworld spirit field."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but imagine the scene of the Verdant Spirit Branch being ravaged by various yin energies.
After planting the two sections of the Verdant Spirit Branch, he continued to manipulate the earth, burying the three Thunderclap Lotus seeds within the spirit soil.
He focused his mental energy on the silver-white spirit seeds nestled within the shallow layer of the soil.
Thunderclap Lotus, fourth-grade spiritual plant. Requires nourishment from thunder-attributed spiritual energy during cultivation. The plant contains an abundance of thunderous aura, and upon maturity, the lotus seeds condense pure thunder-attributed spiritual energy. They can be used to nurture thunder-attributed spirit beasts or consumed to aid in cultivating certain thunder-based techniques and supernatural powers.
Due to the increasing concentration of thunderous aura during its growth, the plant becomes unstable, potentially leading to a thunder riot that may trigger the surrounding area's thunder-attributed spiritual energy. Caution is required at all times.
Behold, a performance of thunderous rage!
"How dare a tiny spiritual plant be so arrogant in front of me," Lu Xuan scoffed. As long as he was aware of the Thunderclap Lotus's detailed condition, he had no need to worry about it causing a thunder riot.
After planting the newly acquired rare fourth-grade Spirit Seeds, he channeled his spiritual energy, and instantly, clouds condensed above the spirit seeds, raining delicate threads of spiritual rain that permeated the seeds.
Lu Xuan added a touch of something extra to nourish the two distinct spirit seeds.
Into the Verdant Spirit Branch, he infused a strand of Azure Wood Origin Qi as thin as a hair, and into the Thunderclap Lotus seeds, he added a subtle trace of thunderous energy extracted from the thunder pearl.
