Chapter 751: The Holy Infant Fruit Mother Ripens
This was a moment of great significance for Lu Chen.
The high-level spirit herbs he had obtained previously were all a result of chance, and it was incredibly difficult to cultivate them again after harvesting.
Only a handful of lucky ones could be sourced through Hailou Commerce.
Now, with the successful modification of the Pure Yang Golden Lotus, a fifth-grade spirit herb, he no longer had to worry about scarcity. He could decide what and how much to plant according to his own desires.
Of course, there was still a significant challenge ahead—figuring out the condensation method for the Pure Yang Golden Lotus.
The condensation technique for a fifth-grade spirit herb was undoubtedly exponentially more complex than that of a fourth-grade one.
Fortunately, Lu Chen possessed the condensation technique for the Earthfire Heart Lotus, a spirit herb that shared a lineage with the Pure Yang Golden Lotus. This provided a foundation for him to build upon, and with his unique ability to discern the intricate states of spirit herbs, figuring out the condensation method for the Pure Yang Golden Lotus should be manageable.
"I hope the rewards from the mature light spheres don't disappoint," Lu Chen murmured to himself as he gazed at the reddish-brown lotus seeds before him.
The treasures unveiled within the light spheres of the fourth-grade Earthfire Heart Lotus were quite impressive, so he had specifically acquired its condensation technique, along with that of the Five Elements Fruit, during the relocation of the Sky Sword Sect.
Now that his modifications had borne fruit in the form of this rare and precious Pure Yang Golden Lotus, he anticipated even richer rewards from its light spheres.
"And I wonder when the Five Elements Fruit, currently undergoing induction stimulation in the Illusory Five Elements Array, will be successfully modified," Lu Chen thought, recalling the Five Elements Fruit spirit herb that was being stimulated by the five elemental forces within the array.
He refocused his attention back on the remaining reddish-brown lotus seeds.
Unfortunately, most of the dozens of spirit seeds showed no signs of change, and while a minority exhibited significant deviations, they were still quite far from reaching the fifth grade. There were even a few that had degenerated into waste seeds, only fit for feeding to his spirit beasts like the Ghost-face Vine and the Fire Dragon.
Lu Chen placed the unchanged lotus seeds back into the white flame, while those with high deviation levels were planted in the spirit fields, in hopes of harvesting more deviated spirit seeds and shortening the modification process.
He entered the core area of the spirit fields and planted the fifth-grade Pure Yang Golden Lotus into the spirit soil. Then, he made his way to the small lake.
The Fire Dragon sensed his presence and leaped out of the lake, its fiery red form dancing and swirling around Lu Chen.
Meanwhile, the Rock-armored Turtle was busy playing by itself in the distance, coating its gray-black shell with layers of mud and sand.
Lu Chen casually tossed a waste seed of the Earthfire Heart Lotus to the Fire Dragon. Although the waste seed couldn't take root and grow, it still contained abundant fiery spirit energy and even a trace of extremely rare pure yang spirit energy, making it a nourishing treat for the Fire Dragon.
The Fire Dragon swallowed the reddish-brown lotus seed and happily returned to the lake.
Lu Chen walked further ahead and arrived at the area where the Ice Crystal Grass was cultivated.
"The Ice Frost Grass has almost fully matured," he said joyfully, looking at the numerous indigo spirit grasses in the spirit field, each exuding an extremely cold aura.
In the spirit field, which was covered with a thin layer of frost, the semi-transparent progress bars were almost completely filled.
"It would be even better to do a few dozen consecutive draws," Lu Chen thought to himself. The light green light sphere in his dantian accelerated its rotation, infusing strands of Green Wood Prime Energy into the Ice Orchid Grass that was on the verge of full maturity.
Being only a third-grade spirit herb, and with just a thin line away from complete maturity, the Icefire Grass didn't consume much Green Wood Prime Energy. Half a moment later, all the Icefire Grass had fully matured.
Lu Chen set aside twenty plants for condensation and proceeded to harvest the rewards from the remaining eighty-plus plants.
He carefully plucked each spirit grass and placed them into an exquisite jade box.
One by one, white light spheres appeared in his spiritual perception, silently materializing and faintly glowing, making the thin layer of frost on the ground shine even brighter.
Thin streams of luminous rivers intertwined and rushed into Lu Chen's body.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his sea of consciousness like a revolving lantern.
[Harvested a third-grade Icefire Grass, gaining three years of cultivation.]
[Harvested a third-grade Icefire Grass, obtaining a fourth-grade treasure, the Icy Marrow Spirit Brew.]
[Harvested...]
One by one, treasures appeared before him or materialized within his body and sea of consciousness in the form of cultivation or experience packets.
"Out of the eighty-plus light spheres, nearly twenty provided cultivation rewards, adding up to seventy-plus years of cultivation."
Lu Chen secretly thought to himself as he felt the surging spiritual energy within his body.
He activated the Xuantian Qingwei Mystical Art, transforming the vast spiritual energy rushing through his meridians into droplets of spiritual liquid, which flowed into his dantian's qi sea.
"In just three to four years, the spiritual herbs I've cultivated are equivalent to decades of arduous cultivation. Why bother with cultivation when farming is enough?"
The abundant spiritual energy within him solidified Lu Chen's determination to focus on farming.
"However, the amount of spiritual energy required to break through realms increases exponentially, and with my limited talent, decades of cultivation still pale in comparison to those prodigies."
"I guess I'm just a tiny bit faster than them."
Lu Chen sighed with a hint of amusement.
Among the remaining sixty-plus light spheres, the treasure rewards were still the familiar few.
The fourth-grade treasure, Icy Marrow Pills, the fourth-grade Icy Marrow Spirit Brew, and the experience packet containing the recipe for the brew.
Although these rewards were relatively common, their cumulative value was significant, allowing him to amass a large number of spirit stones.
After several consecutive draws, Lu Chen was in high spirits as he made his way to the spirit fields in the underworld.
Amidst the dense yin energy, he approached the area where the Holy Infant Fruit mother plant was cultivated.
A greenish-black infant shadow flashed by and flew into the embryonic spirit fruit.
"Looks like it's been well-nourished lately," Lu Chen remarked, sensing the rich vitality and yin energy within the spirit plant.
After nourishing the mother plant with the spirit fruits from the offspring, he waited for a while before feeding it another fruit, ensuring that the mother plant's source essence was sufficiently replenished, making its vitality even more robust and potent.
"It's well-fed now, time for the harvest."
A smile curved Lu Chen's lips as he took out the Divine Wood Green Gourd.
The gourd could compress and transform the Divine Wood Source Energy, enhancing its effectiveness even further, bringing boundless benefits to spiritual plants.
To obtain the highest quality mother plant spirit fruit, he didn't hesitate to use the Divine Wood Green Gourd, which he had been nurturing for years.
Thin strands of deep green spiritual energy flowed from the gourd's mouth, permeating the Holy Infant Fruit mother plant.
The greenish-black infant shadow, originally hidden within the embryo, couldn't resist the temptation and revealed itself, greedily absorbing the incredibly pure wood spiritual energy.
After half an hour, Lu Chen saw that the progress bar below the mother plant was completely filled, and he nodded in satisfaction before putting away the verdant green gourd.
Then, with caution, he plucked the embryonic spirit fruit.
As if sensing the threat, the spirit fruit seemed to possess a sliver of consciousness, and the greenish-black infant shadow appeared, its sunken eye sockets fixing on Lu Chen, filled with venomous hatred.
Tendrils of greenish-black spiritual energy escaped from the fruit, coiling around Lu Chen's palm.
Unfazed, Lu Chen's palm turned into a blazing golden color, causing the greenish-black spiritual energy to dissipate instantly, and the vengeful infant shadow vanished along with it.
"A high-quality Holy Infant Fruit mother plant's spirit fruit, it might be possible to incarnate now."
Lu Chen's eyes lit up with joy as he focused his attention on the embryonic spirit fruit.
