Chapter 784: The Qinglong Wood
Chapter 784: The Qinglong Wood
"Thank you, Senior, for bestowing this talisman upon me."
Lu Xuan carefully accepted the dark talisman with both hands and stored it away in his pouch.
After all, this was a token of a Yuanying Golden Core cultivator, and it could be incredibly useful in times of need.
"This here is the sapling of the Seventh-grade spirit wood. I found it in a fragmented pocket realm in the void."
"That realm was the place where an ancient Qinglong perished, and this spirit wood is what its body transformed into over time."
Tian Cang Zhenren retrieved a verdant sapling from his storage pouch.
The sapling was less than a foot tall, but its roots and branches were powerfully twisted and intertwined, resembling a true dragon lurking in the shadows. It exuded a vibrant and enduring vitality.
"Qinglong Wood..."
Lu Xuan carefully took the spirit wood sapling and examined it closely.
"Qinglong Wood is a Seventh-grade spirit plant, and cultivating it will undoubtedly be much more difficult than with other spirit plants. However, with your expertise in spirit plants, Lu Xuan, it shouldn't pose a problem."
"Alright, I'll leave this spirit wood in your care. I'll come to visit you again in a few years."
Before the sound of his voice faded, Tian Cang Zhenren transformed into a green light and disappeared into the horizon.
"I got a Seventh-grade spirit wood sapling for free, along with a token from a Yuanying Golden Core cultivator, and there's also the reward for nurturing this spirit plant to maturity."
Lu Xuan's heart was filled with joy.
This trip to the Hundred Flowers Banquet had been extremely fruitful.
He had obtained the Sixth-grade Spirit Trapping Cage, the Dragon Transformation Grass spirit herb, and the opportunity to cultivate the Seventh-grade Qinglong Wood. On top of that, he had also befriended numerous spirit plant cultivators and even gained the favor of a Yuanying Golden Core cultivator.
With a satisfied expression, he located Yulin Sanren and the two of them began their journey back to Tianxing Cave.
"Friend Lu, you certainly attracted a lot of attention during this Hundred Flowers Banquet."
Liang Yong said with a sour look on his face.
"First, the Flower Spirit Messenger filled your cup with Hundred Flowers Honey, and then she took out those rare spirit herbs, and as a result, you even gained the favor of a Yuanying Golden Core cultivator."
"It's truly enviable, old friend!"
The thin and elderly man's tone grew more and more acidic as he spoke.
Yulin Sanren, standing beside him, could not bear to listen anymore.
"All of this is well-deserved for Friend Lu. If you, Friend Liang, had the same level of skill with spirit plants, I believe you would have similar opportunities."
She smiled lightly as she manipulated her leaf-shaped magical artifact.
"Please don't tease me, Friends. It's just luck."
"Standing out is not what I desire. I only wish to be an ordinary spirit plant cultivator tending to my fields in peace. I dare not aspire for anything more."
Lu Xuan let out a bitter laugh.
"Because I attracted too much attention, I didn't dare to return to Tianxing Cave alone, so I called for you two to accompany me and give me some courage."
"Rest assured, Friend Lu. The three of us are at the Golden Core stage. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to attempt any robbery."
Upon hearing this, the thin and elderly man straightened his expression and spoke solemnly.
"Thank you, Friends. Once we return to Tianxing Cave, I'll definitely share a few cups of the Ape Demon Wine with you."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"Haha, you said it!"
The three of them chatted and laughed along the way, and in less than half a day, they arrived at the Star-Plucking Tower in Tianxing Cave.
True to his word, Lu Xuan brought the two of them to the sundry goods store.
He led them to a private room in the back of the store, and they enjoyed a few drinks together.
As Yulin Sanren and the elderly man were not from Leihuo Planet, they bid farewell after some casual conversation and left.
Lu Xuan instructed Wen Qian to not disturb him, and after setting up a barrier to ensure privacy, he took out the Qinglong Wood sapling.
With a slight stir of his spiritual sense, a layer of pale Spirit Nurturing Soil emerged from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, which had been refined into a magical artifact, and appeared in his palm.
He planted the roots and stem of the Qinglong Wood sapling into the spirit soil.
He focused his spiritual sense on the verdant sapling and instantly gained detailed information about this Seventh-grade spirit plant.
【Qinglong Wood, Seventh-grade Spirit Plant: After an ancient Qinglong perished, its skeletal essence fused with the power of heaven and earth due to its wooden attributes, forming the Qinglong Wood spirit herb.
The spirit wood can be refined into a mid-grade spiritual artifact, and the strand of dragon soul within can be refined into a spirit artifact or absorbed to cultivate the true dragon's divine ability.】
"A seventh-grade spirit plant!"
Lu Xuan was truly delighted.
This was the fourth seventh-grade spirit plant he had obtained so far.
He had already harvested a light sphere from the Yimu Qingleiteng, which was incubating the first layer of the Chunyin Palace's Eightfold Palace. There was also the Huangquan Immortal Tree, which had not yet met the conditions for cultivation, and finally, the Qinglong Wood, a transformation of the true dragon's remains.
"Four seventh-grade plants, I really want to harvest the light sphere reward right away!"
He muttered to himself.
As for the requirements for the growth of the Qinglong Wood, he was surprisingly confident.
Dragon Qi could be obtained from the sixth-grade Tuolong Pearl, so he didn't have to worry about the early stages of the Qinglong Wood's growth.
"The key is how to obtain complete Qiao-long and Chi-long corpses."
"Back then, at the Thousand Dragon Lake of Tianjian Sect, I only remembered drawing blood. Why didn't I go to the bottom of the lake to pick up some Qiao-long corpses?"
Lu Xuan regretted his oversight.
Previously, when he was helping the disciples of the Tianjian Sect with their Qiao-long inspections, he would draw hundreds or even thousands of vials of Qiao-long essence blood each time, doing so at regular intervals until the present, and he still hadn't used them all up.
Unfortunately, when he went to the bottom of the lake to find the dragon grass spirit seeds, he didn't take the opportunity to collect some Qiao-long corpses.
Of course, with his cultivation level at that time, he probably wouldn't have had the qualification to do so anyway.
"Perhaps I'll have to figure something out with that sixth-grade Tuolong Pearl."
Lu Xuan recalled his experience of celebrating the birthday of the Black Water Star Cave's messenger.
When passing through the infinite black water ocean, the Tuolong Pearl on his body had reacted abnormally for some unknown reason.
"Most likely, there's a Tuolong cave mansion hidden in that body of water."
He decided to find a suitable opportunity to explore and see if he could find enough fertilizer for the seventh-grade Qinglong Wood.
With that in mind, Lu Xuan walked out of the sundry goods store.
Wen Qian was attending to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When the cultivator saw Lu Xuan come out, he hurriedly greeted him, selected a Foundation Establishment Pill and a Sword-Nurturing Gourd, haggled a little, and then left.
"I have nothing to do today, so I'll test you on your recent lessons about spirit plants."
Lu Xuan lazily sat on a rosewood chair and said to Wen Qian.
"Please instruct me, Senior."
Wen Qian bowed, looking very much like a well-prepared studious student.
Lu Xuan casually asked a few questions, mostly common knowledge about spirit plants in the cultivation world, and Wen Qian answered fluently, showing that he had indeed put in a lot of effort into studying spirit plants.
Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad. I'm very pleased with your progress in studying spirit plants, and you've even exceeded my expectations."
"Once you've gained more experience, you can help me collect relatively rare and exotic spirit seeds."
He instructed Wen Qian.
"Yes! I will definitely not let you down, Senior!"
Wen Qian promised solemnly.
"This posture looks so familiar..."
Lu Xuan felt as if he were seeing himself in front of Tian Cang Zhenren and secretly complained.
"By the way, there's something else I need to tell you."
"Recently, I'll be keeping more Jade Washing Spirit Dew and other spirit brews in the store."
"Later, there may be cultivators who come to the sundry goods store with my message talismans. If they want to purchase spirit brews, you can give them a 20% discount with my message talismans."
"Of course, this doesn't include other treasures."
Lu Xuan gave Wen Qian a heads-up to avoid any potential misunderstandings if a Core Formation cultivator did come to purchase spirit brews.
Wen Qian nodded seriously to indicate his understanding.
