Chapter 591: Jade Coiling Dragon Claw
Chapter 591: Jade Coiling Dragon Claw
Lu Chen focused his attention on the translucent and jade-like giant coiling dragon claw before him. Instantly, detailed information about it appeared in his mind.
Jade Coiling Dragon Claw, a sixth-grade material sourced from the sixth-grade variant coiling dragon, the Jade Coiling Dragon. It possesses both hardness and sharpness, capable of easily tearing through fifth-grade magical artifacts. It also inherits a unique trait from the dragon, exhibiting powerful exorcism properties. It is highly effective against evil and demonic beings. It can be used directly or forged into a sixth-grade artifact and refined into a treasure.
"A sixth-grade material, that already falls into the middle to late stages of the Core Formation realm," Lu Chen mused with delight.
"This dragon claw is indeed valuable."
He scanned his surroundings and, with his spiritual power, controlled the Jade Coiling Dragon Claw to gently scratch a large stone block nearby.
There was no resistance, and the stone block shattered effortlessly, leaving a smooth cleft.
"As expected of the dragon claw, it's incredibly hard," Lu Chen marveled. He then took out a piece of fourth-grade spirit ore from his storage bag.
With a swipe of the dragon claw, deep scratches were left on the ore's surface.
"If the timing is right, I can use this to trade for spirit herbs or other treasures," he contemplated.
While a sixth-grade material could only unleash its full potential when forged into a magical artifact, it wasn't of much use to him at his current stage. However, if an opportunity presented itself, he could consider trading it for something else.
After inspecting all the spirit herbs in the spirit fields, Lu Chen made his way to the core area of the cave abode.
This area housed the high-grade spirit herbs and the evil spirit herbs, separated by an array into two distinct sections with contrasting styles.
Lu Chen located a spirit field, spread a thick layer of silvery-white sand from the medicinal garden, and carefully planted the six Five Thunder Conjoined Flowers and the spirit herb of the Ethereal Wood Green Thunder Vine.
He took out five Five-Element Thunder Pearls and extracted strands of thunderous light of equal intensity from each.
The five delicate strands of thunderous light merged into the spirit herbs, causing the clouds within to churn and the spiritual rain to seep in, nourishing the herbs.
He repeated the process for the remaining Five Thunder Conjoined Flowers.
"For the Ethereal Wood Green Thunder Vine, during the initial growth stage, ordinary wooden spiritual lightning should suffice. But as it progresses, the grade and type of spiritual lightning it requires will likely be quite demanding," Lu Chen mused as he observed the swirling ball of green lightning.
Currently, his spirit fields already boasted a considerable number of high-grade thunder-attributed spirit herbs. There were six stocks of the fifth-grade Five Thunder Conjoined Flowers and the sixth-grade Thunder Violet Fruit, as well as his own seventh-grade Ethereal Wood Green Thunder Vine.
"In the future, not only will I need a large quantity of spiritual lightning, but also Yin lightning or even divine lightning to meet their growth requirements," he contemplated.
"Nurturing spirit herbs is no easy task."
At this moment, he felt like a parent hoping for their children to thrive, doing everything in his power to fulfill the spirit herbs' growth conditions and provide them with an optimal environment.
Fortunately, one thing was certain: with proper care, these spirit herbs would undoubtedly flourish, and he wouldn't have to worry about them turning out mediocre.
He entered the area dedicated to the Yin spirit herbs, his expression calm as he inspected the spirit herbs amid the gusts of yin wind.
From the Gluttonous Worm Pouch, he took out portions of flesh and blood, along with the lingering resentment of the yin souls, to satisfy the numerous evil spirit herbs.
The Meat Spirit God hopped along behind him, and once Lu Chen finished his tasks, it rubbed against his leg affectionately.
"Don't worry, I won't forget about you," Lu Chen assured, unable to hold back a smile. The plump, pinkish-red ball of flesh before him bore no resemblance to a disaster-level evil spirit.
He took out a large chunk of fourth-grade demon beast flesh from the Gluttonous Worm Pouch and tossed it to the Meat Spirit God.
As soon as the demon beast flesh appeared, the layers of flesh on the Meat Spirit God's body rippled like water plants, revealing numerous small mouths with sharp teeth.
Lu Chen sensed a sudden surge in the aura of the large meat bun.
With a flick of his consciousness, the Meat Spirit God transformed into a faint red stream of light and shot towards the distance.
Soon, it returned to Lu Chen's feet, and a beam of bloody light shot out from its head, swirling rapidly around the meat bun and changing endlessly, exuding a faint bloody aura.
At Lu Chen's command, the bloody light reached the outer area of the cave abode and circled around an ordinary spirit herb.
Large patches of bloodstains soon appeared on the herb, spreading until, after a few breaths, it turned into a puddle of bloody mud-like substance.
"This beam of bloody light seems to have a strong corrupting ability."
Lu Chen thought to himself.
Through his spiritual sense, he perceived that the Meat Spirit God now possessed the strength equivalent to an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Moreover, the beam of bloody light hinted at the rudimentary form of a blood path technique, indicating its astonishing potential.
"As expected of a disaster-level evil spirit. In just a short few years, it has grown to the strength of the Foundation Establishment realm and even grasps a sinister and unusual art."
Lu Chen sighed softly.
However, he was not the least bit worried about the possibility of this disaster-level evil spirit turning on him in the future.
After all, no matter how fast the Meat Spirit God grew, it couldn't outpace him with the light sphere reward. Furthermore, they had established a contract with each other, allowing him to clearly understand its exact state. With these factors, he could completely control this nascent disaster-level evil spirit.
After tending to the numerous sinister spirit herbs in the Yin Spirit Fields, Lu Chen exited, a smile on his face and a clear look in his eyes, giving no hint of the sinister spirit herbs he had cultivated.
The days of cultivating in the cave abode always passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
During this period, Lu Chen had remained in the cave abode, cultivating spirit herbs and spirit beasts. In his spare time, he cultivated his art and refined pills, leading a simple, dull yet fulfilling and busy life.
On this day, he stood in the spirit herb field, carefully digging out a slender, grayish-brown spirit seed from a weed.
The weed was, of course, a third-grade Hidden Essence Grass. After incubating for some time, it had finally successfully condensed a seed.
As he intended to cultivate a large batch of Hidden Essence Grass, he had left thirteen plants for seed incubation, with each grass yielding three to five seeds, for a total of fifty-three seeds.
The light sphere of the Hidden Essence Grass could produce Foundation Establishment Pills, Foundation Establishment Pill formulas, and Spirit-Gathering Grass Pearls, each of which had great practical value to Lu Chen in his current state.
The Hidden Essence Grass itself could also be used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, complementing the light sphere perfectly and allowing Lu Chen to maximize the benefits of his near-perfect pill-refining level.
Each spirit seed appeared ordinary at first glance, but when scanned with spiritual sense, one could perceive the rich essence of grass and wood hidden within, as minute as a needlepoint, and extremely easy to overlook.
"After a little more processing, they'll be ready for planting in no time."
"By increasing the yield of Hidden Essence Grass and improving my Foundation Establishment Pill refining level, I'll be able to give those pill refiners in the Skyview Cave a little shock once I reach the Master level."
Lu Chen thought with satisfaction.
A pill refiner improves with practice, even when sitting at home.
I wanted to get along with you all as an ordinary spirit herb cultivator, but all I got was distance. Fine, no more pretenses; I am a pill-refining master.
He raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself.
