Chapter 586: Forcing a Gift
Chapter 586: Forcing a Gift
【The Five Thunder Peaches Blossom is a 5th-grade Spirit Plant with extremely high growth requirements. It needs spiritual energy and soil imbued with thunderous spiritual qi, and must be nourished with the Five Elemental Spirit Thunder during cultivation.
Once mature, one can extract a strand of the Five Elemental Origin Spirit Thunder through thunderous means, and it can also be used to create high-grade thunderous talismans. It assists in cultivating certain thunderous techniques and is useful for taming thunderous spirit beasts.】
【The Five Elemental Spirit Thunder requires a delicate balance. Imbalance over an extended period will hinder the growth of the spirit plant and may even cause it to wither and die.】
【As quintuplets, they must be treated equally and with the same level of care, or else they will wither and die on you!】
"Wonderful!" Lu Chen rejoiced. He had cultivated quite a number of 5th-grade spirit plants, and a few of them had already matured. The rewards within each light group were extremely generous: the 6th-grade Blood Vein Fruit, the 6th-grade Emperor's Meat, the 6th-grade Treasure, the Alligator Dragon Pearl, and the lowest grade, the 5th-grade Nine-Headed Dragon Chart.
Thus, Lu Chen felt that he could never have too many 5th-grade spirit seeds.
As for the Five Elemental Spirit Thunder, with the boundless blessing that was the Thunder Sea, gathering them might be a little difficult, but cultivating the Five Thunder Peaches Blossom wouldn't be a problem.
"Well done." Lu Chen nodded at the Demon Ghost Vine, encouraging it, "Keep digging! Scrape the soil down to the last inch if you have to, but dig out all the spirit seeds in this spirit field!"
The Demon Ghost Vine's tendrils and vines nodded vigorously. Encouraged by Lu Chen, it was full of vigor and quickly extended in all directions once more, delving deep into the spirit soil.
"You've found another one! Good, good!"
"And another!"
Surprises kept coming one after another.
Lu Chen couldn't wipe the smile off his face. Finally, when the Demon Ghost Vine had dug through the spirit soil for a while without finding any new spirit seeds, he reluctantly called off the search, still craving more.
"In total, six Five Thunder Peaches Blossom spirit seeds! I've struck gold!"
He gazed at the spirit seeds in his hand, their five-colored thunderous glow flashing, and felt content.
Of the 5th-grade spirit seeds he had obtained earlier, most were single seeds. The Holy Infant Fruit's mother and child plants could be counted as two, and only at the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake had he dug out three 5th-grade Dragon Remains Grass spirit seeds.
"I am truly grateful to you," Lu Chen said gratefully to the Thunder Ghost Lord, who had been darting through the thunderous light by his side.
"Here are six Thunder Lotus seeds as payment for bringing me here and helping me find these spirit seeds." Lu Chen took out the seeds and presented them to the Thunder Ghost Lord.
After consuming four Thunder Lotus seeds in a short period, the Thunder Ghost Lord had reached its saturation point, and the pure thunderous spiritual qi within its body had yet to be fully digested.
Lu Chen took out six more Thunder Lotus seeds, causing the playful spirit monster to turn shy and hesitate to accept them.
"That's enough, I'm full," it conveyed to Lu Chen.
"Take them, you must take them," Lu Chen insisted.
"You can keep them with you and eat them later when you're hungry!" Lu Chen said enthusiastically, placing the six Thunder Lotus seeds on the Thunder Ghost Lord's large, fleshy lump.
It was reminiscent of elders at Chinese New Year, forcefully stuffing red packets into one's hands.
The Thunder Ghost Lord half-heartedly accepted, its large, fleshy lump undulating as it took in the six silver-white Thunder Lotus seeds.
Receiving such a grand gift, Lu Chen sensed the Thunder Ghost Lord's delight, and it even seemed a little embarrassed when facing him.
"Hmm? What's that hint of resentment?" Lu Chen suddenly felt something amiss with his surroundings. Looking down, he saw the Demon Ghost Vine standing tall, its tendrils tapping the ground as if trying to hide its embarrassment by staying busy.
"Haha, I almost forgot about you, little one," Lu Chen said, unable to hold back his laughter as he took out a Thunder Lotus seed.
But faced with such a delicacy, the Demon Ghost Vine couldn't care less. One of its tendrils shot towards Lu Chen's palm with lightning speed and coiled around the silver-white lotus seed, making off with it.
After a dozen or so breaths, a faint silver-white glow appeared on the grayish-white tendril. The light intensified, nearly shining through the vine, and soon, thin strands of thunderous spiritual qi began to seep out, coursing along the tendril.
The Thunder Ghost Lord, standing by, revealed a wider arc to its lips, as if mocking the Demon Ghost Vine. Its azure meat wings touched the tendril, and strands of thunderous spiritual qi seeped into it.
The rapidly trembling grayish-white tendril gradually calmed down, now marked with silver-white traces, and rapidly shrunk back, retreating into Lu Chen's sleeve.
Lu Chen sensed the Demon Ghost Vine's condition with his spiritual consciousness and confirmed that it was doing well before he finally felt completely relieved.
"Thank you for saving my spirit plant."
He cupped his hands and expressed his gratitude to the oddly-shaped Thunder Ghost Lord.
The Thunder Ghost Lord's lips curved upward, appearing to mock, but Lu Chen sensed the joy in its heart.
Born and raised in the endless thunder, with an extraordinarily long lifespan, it had lived alone in this ancient herbal garden for countless years, its loneliness reaching its peak.
Thus, after seeing Lu Chen and his companions finish picking the lotus seeds, it couldn't contain itself and revealed its presence. Even when it was attacked without reason, it only retaliated slightly before disappearing.
Later, it never expected Lu Chen to take the initiative to show goodwill by feeding it a Thunder Lotus seed.
It usually fed on spiritual thunder and thunder-attributed spirit fruits, and it couldn't collect the extremely unstable mature lotus seeds, so it could only rely on the spiritual thunder in the herbal garden for sustenance.
After tasting the long-desired Thunder Lotus seeds from Lu Chen, not just one or two, but four in a row, and then being gifted another six, the Thunder Ghost Lord felt immense gratitude towards Lu Chen.
"Can you enter all the thunderous islets in this herbal garden?"
Lu Chen asked curiously.
As he ventured deeper, he found that the treasures on the islets became increasingly precious. The first islet only had some Thunder Lotus seeds, while the subsequent ones didn't seem to have any spirit plants, but they yielded a large amount of silver-white sand and stones. The current islet, however, had yielded a whopping six fifth-grade spirit seeds!
Along with this, the restrictions on the islets were becoming increasingly formidable. Even the Thunder Ghost Lord was noticeably slowing down as it moved forward.
"I can still enter, but the next islet might be a bit dangerous."
"The restrictions get more terrifying the further we go. The two innermost islets even have extremely formidable and terrifying existences slumbering within."
After being fed the Thunder Lotus seeds by Lu Chen, the Thunder Ghost Lord could communicate its thoughts to Lu Chen.
"Even a quasi-fifth-grade spirit monster finds it dangerous and terrifying?"
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"Should we turn back now?"
Having obtained six Five Thunder Peaches Blossom spirit seeds, Lu Chen was already content. Just as he was about to choose the cautious route and leave the herbal garden, he saw the Thunder Ghost Lord brandishing its claws and teeth.
"On the next islet, there's an especially large spirit tree! This big!"
The Thunder Ghost Lord extended its azure meat wings, stretching them to their limit.
"Now that's interesting."
After confirming that the Thunder Ghost Lord's thoughts held no malice, Lu Chen's heart stirred with excitement.
