Chapter 670: The Thunder Escape Talisman
"It is said that this Starfruit spiritual seed originates from a meteor beyond the heavens. It was discovered and collected by chance by a Nascent Soul True Lord of the Commerce Guild during his travels in a foreign land. There is a limited quantity, and I have managed to obtain six of them for you, Brother Lu." Zhang Jiuzong said with a smile.
"I'm not very familiar with the specific cultivation method. I've only heard about it from the Commerce Guild's spiritual herbologist. Apparently, the growth of the Starfruit is greatly influenced by stellar power," he added.
"You'll have to figure out the cultivation process yourself, Brother Lu."
"Don't worry, Brother Zhang. When it comes to cultivating spiritual herbs, I have a bit of a green thumb. Cultivating these Starfruits should be well within my capabilities," Lu Chen replied confidently. There hasn't been a spiritual herb he couldn't grow yet.
"I apologize for my doubt in your abilities, Brother Lu. I shouldn't have questioned your skills as a spiritual herbologist," Zhang Chuang, the department head, chuckled. He instantly regained confidence in Lu Chen, recalling his impressive performance in the Spiritual Blessing Land earlier.
"Cultivating a fifth-grade spiritual herb is extremely challenging and time-consuming. Each one requires a tremendous amount of effort. Therefore, if you can successfully cultivate them, the Commerce Guild will reward you handsomely," Zhang Chuang assured him.
"In addition to the basic rewards, the higher the survival rate and the better the quality of the mature spiritual herbs, the more generous the compensation will be."
"Rest assured, I will do my best to nurture all six of these Starfruits to maturity and won't let the Commerce Guild or you, Brother Zhang, down," Lu Chen said with a smile.
The rewards were secondary to him; he was more motivated by the glowing orbs that would be awarded upon maturity.
"Then I can rest easy." Zhang Jiuzong didn't stay long after giving Lu Chen the Holy Snow Dragon Spring and the Starfruit seeds. He chatted for a while before taking his leave.
Before he departed, Lu Chen presented him with a large bottle of Jade Purifying Spirit Dew as a token of gratitude for obtaining the Starfruit seeds.
"This is the advantage of having the support of a powerful organization," Lu Chen mused as he watched Zhang Jiuzong leave. He couldn't help but feel amazed as he held the Starfruit seeds, which shimmered with dazzling light in his hands.
"Now that I have the fifth-grade spiritual seeds, how far away could the sixth-grade ones be?" he thought to himself, determined to acquire as many high-grade spiritual seeds as possible from the Commerce Guild.
Lu Chen hurried to the spirit field, eager to plant the Starfruit spiritual seeds in the spirit soil.
As he focused his attention on the seeds, he instantly gained a detailed understanding of the Starfruit.
Starfruit, Fifth-Grade Spiritual Herb: The spiritual seeds are formed by the stimulation and condensation of special stellar power from a meteor beyond the heavens. During its growth, it absorbs stellar power and thrives in proximity to the starry sky. It need not be planted in ordinary spirit soil; instead, star-related spirit minerals can be placed around the spiritual herb to promote its growth.
The mature spiritual fruit, when consumed, can enhance one's body with stellar power. It can also aid in cultivating special supernatural abilities and techniques related to the stars.
Bathed in starlight, it grows healthily!
"It needs to be cultivated in the high skies and doesn't require ordinary spirit soil," Lu Chen marveled.
Having cultivated spiritual herbs for many years, he had encountered countless spiritual seeds, each with their unique characteristics. The variety of spiritual herbs with extraordinary properties never ceased to amaze him.
The green light of the Qingfu Shoes on his feet surged, propelling him skyward like a rocket to the high skies above his cave abode.
He took out the six Starfruit spiritual seeds and imprisoned them in the air with a simple restriction. With a thought, the clouds surged, and strands of spiritual rain seeped out from the thunderous light, penetrating the Starfruit spiritual seeds.
Bathed in starlight, the spiritual seeds glowed brilliantly, their inner radiance moving slowly as if communicating with the distant stars in the night sky.
After cultivating for a few days, subtle changes appeared in the Starfruit spiritual seeds.
Lu Chen noticed that the dazzling light points within the spiritual seeds seemed to be dissipating, and when he focused his mind on them, he realized that this was an indication that the seeds were slowly approaching germination.
"I wonder how a spiritual plant will take root and sprout in the air."
With this thought, Lu Chen returned to his spirit field and carefully inspected the rest of his spiritual plants.
Suddenly, his expression changed as his spiritual sense keenly noticed a green talisman appearing outside his cave abode.
He reached out and summoned the talisman, infusing it with a wisp of spiritual power to activate it. A gentle voice echoed from the talisman, belonging to Yu Lin San Ren.
"Brother Lu, I am eternally grateful for your hospitality the last time we met."
"In the coming days, I will be hosting a small gathering at the Qingmu Star Cave with several fellow cultivators to exchange cultivation insights and trade treasures."
"One of our companions will be bringing some unknown treasures, and I would like to specially invite you, Brother Lu, to join us and appraise these treasures together."
"The Cyanwood Star Cave is extremely friendly to spiritual herbologists like yourself, and I'm sure you will find it worthwhile."
"Yu Lin San Ren is inviting me to the Cyanwood Star Cave?" Lu Chen memorized the time and location mentioned on the talisman and fell into contemplation.
"Each of the eighteen star caves has its own wonders, and it would be a good opportunity to experience something new."
"Additionally, I can take this chance to get to know more Golden Core True Lords, and who knows, I might even obtain a divine spiritual seed from the treasure exchange gathering."
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Chen became increasingly inclined to pay a visit to the Azurewood Star Cave.
However, there was still over a month before the appointed time on the talisman, so there was no rush.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Lu Chen noticed that the first fourth-grade Thunder Escape Lotus he had obtained had fully matured.
"Harvest the light orb, harvest the light orb."
He was delighted and carefully plucked the silvery-white lotus, with its cascading thunderous waterfall.
[Thunder Escape Lotus, Fourth-Grade Spiritual Herb: Nurtured with lightning-attributed spiritual power, the mature lotus seeds contain pure and potent lightning power. They can be used to feed lightning-attributed spirit beasts or ingested to aid in cultivating certain lightning-based techniques and abilities.]
"Feeding it to a lightning-attributed spirit beast... I wonder if the young Thunder Dragon Dog can handle the power contained within these Thunder Escape Lotus seeds."
Lu Chen contemplated, deciding to temporarily store the Thunder Escape Lotus seeds in his Gluttonous Insect Pouch and find an appropriate time later to feed the Thunder Dragon Dog.
There were still plenty of Thunder Escape Lotuses in his spirit field, collected from the ancient herb garden, so he had no worries about not being able to feed the Thunder Dragon Dog enough.
Immediately after, his gaze fell upon the quietly emerging white light orb, which flickered slightly, and despite having touched countless such orbs, it still held immense attraction for Lu Chen.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light orb, which instantly shattered silently into countless tiny light points.
In the blink of an eye, the light points condensed into the silhouette of a talisman, which swiftly vanished into Lu Chen's body.
Right after, a thought appeared in his mind.
[Harvested a fourth-grade Thunder Escape Lotus, obtained a fifth-grade talisman - Thunder Escape Talisman.]
