Chapter 845: Grand Pure Yang True Fire
Zhang Jiuzong did not stay long, bidding farewell shortly after some casual conversation.
Lu Xuan held the two Yuanling Herb seedlings and found an empty area.
With a thought, the spirit field covered with a thick layer of Primordial Soil instantly formed two perfect cracks.
He carefully planted the Yuanling Herb seedlings into the cracks, his mind focusing on them.
Yuanling Herb, a fifth-grade spirit herb, requires pure spiritual energy to nurture when cultivated. Once mature, the herb contains an extremely rich and pure spiritual energy. Direct consumption can enhance a cultivator's spiritual power, and it can also be refined into high-grade spirit pills to improve one's cultivation.
"A high-grade spirit herb that can enhance spiritual power," Lu Xuan said with a satisfied expression.
Having cultivated countless spirit herbs, he had come across more than one type that could enhance spiritual power, but their grades were not particularly high. This was the first time he had encountered a fifth-grade herb.
"Now that I have the method to condense the Yuanling Herb's seeds, I can gradually increase the yield even if I only have two plants."
"The key is to find a suitable treasure land to condense the fifth-grade spirit seeds."
To condense fifth-grade spirit seeds, one needed a special spiritual site; the two fifth-grade Sword Grass spirit seeds he obtained from Tianjian Zong in the past were condensed in a treasure land within Tianjian Zong called the Sword Pool.
"I hope that when it matures, it will yield cultivation rewards or spirit pills and treasures related to cultivation," Lu Xuan thought to himself.
He was about to break through to the late Jindan stage, and with the light group present, the Yuanying realm was just around the corner.
Based on his previous experience, once he broke through to the Yuan Ying realm, the third-grade Ice Firefly Grass would bring significantly fewer cultivation rewards due to its low grade, affecting his future progress.
To solve this problem, there were only two methods.
One was to continue improving the Ice Firefly Grass and elevate it to a higher grade, and the other was to find a substitute.
However, the Ice Firefly Grass was already derived from twice-improved Spirit Firefly Grass, and its potential could be said to be exhausted. Improving it to a fifth-grade spirit grass was as difficult as climbing the sky.
Therefore, it was best to find a substitute.
Having reaped so many light groups, Lu Xuan already understood that the light group rewards were intimately linked to the grade, variety, and efficacy of the spirit herbs. There was a good chance that the Yuanling Herb before him could yield cultivation-related treasures.
"When it grows a bit more, I'll try ripening it with the Divine Wood Qinghu," he decided.
After planting the two Yuanling Herbs, Lu Xuan continued to spend his days in the cave mansion, being a law-abiding spirit herb cultivator, unconcerned with the outside world's hustle and bustle.
Occasionally, he would go out to resolve spirit herb-related issues at Hailou Commerce or socialize with familiar cultivators to catch up on the latest news in the cultivation world.
From them, he learned that the problem of demonic invasions in the Tianxing Cave had not been properly resolved. The major star cave masters would kill one batch, only for a new batch to emerge soon after, and there was even a trend of it spreading to other places in the Liuyang Province.
As demons wreaked havoc, some cultivators chose to hide, but most followed the Tianxing Cave to hunt down the demons and seek opportunities.
Occasionally, they would hear about a cultivator who stumbled upon a great opportunity and soared to success, their cultivation path unimpeded. However, Lu Xuan believed that silence was the majority's story.
The vast majority of cultivators would end up as food for the demons or add to the pile of bones under another cultivator's feet.
They wouldn't share their misfortunes with others.
At gatherings, the Core Formation cultivators who frequently met had come to understand Lu Xuan's temperament and rarely invited him to hunt demons or compete for opportunities.
Lu Xuan was pleased with this arrangement and diligently tended to his spirit fields tirelessly each day.
There was a fifth-grade Thunderous Sword Heart, three portions of fifth-grade True Sword Liquid, and two Thousand Lightning Swords. He now possessed almost a third of the eighteen swords needed for the Thousand Lightning Sword Formation.
Furthermore, what truly delighted him was that one of the orbs contained a formula experience package for the True Sword Liquid.
However, this rare fifth-grade spirit liquid was extremely difficult to brew. Aside from requiring a special type of Sword-attributed Spirit Herb, one also needed an incredible level of skill in sword qi manipulation.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan possessed both the Clear Sword Heart and the Thunderous Sword Heart, two Sword Dao treasures that accelerated his progress in sword cultivation. As for the necessary Sword-attributed Spirit Herbs, he was confident that he could acquire them through Hailou Commerce.
Time flew by, and before he knew it, less than two months remained until the auction he had planned.
Lu Xuan had already prepared the treasures that would be presented at the auction.
They were items that he rarely used but would be extremely useful to ordinary Golden Core cultivators, perfect for promoting the Variety Store.
As always, he made his way to the spirit fields to inspect the condition of each spirit herb.
At the Earth Fire branch vein, five Pure Yang Golden Lotuses were bathing in the scorching lava.
The surfaces of the lotuses quietly burned with the Primordial Yang True Fire left by Lu Xuan, their golden leaves and stalks shimmering with dazzling light as they gently swayed.
"One of them has fully matured."
Lu Xuan noticed that the translucent progress bar below the centermost Pure Yang Golden Lotus was completely filled, and he felt a surge of joy.
He flew forward and carefully plucked the lotus.
Focusing his mental energy on it, detailed information about the spirit herb appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Pure Yang Golden Lotus: A fifth-grade spirit herb evolved from a fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus under the stimulation of Pure Yang True Fire. During cultivation, it is nourished by Supreme Yang Spirit Fire, resulting in lotus seeds that contain pure yang energy. They have an innate suppressing effect on evil spirits, demons, and similar beings. Consuming them grants invulnerability to evil influences, purifies the body of sinister energies, and enhances the cultivator's spiritual sense with prolonged use.
"It has a powerful suppressing effect on demons and evil spirits. If I were to spread these Pure Yang Lotus Seeds in the current Tianxing Cave, I wonder how many cultivators would scramble for them."
Lu Xuan mused to himself.
He endured the scorching heat and plucked twelve lotus seeds from the flower, carefully storing them in his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The seeds were a reddish-gold color, with subtle flame patterns flowing across their surfaces. They were filled with vibrant spiritual energy and clearly no ordinary treasure.
"Pure Yang Golden Lotus Seeds are already an extremely rare existence among treasures of the same grade. I wonder if the light orb will bring me even greater surprises."
He was filled with anticipation as he reached out and gently touched the faintly glowing white light orb.
The orb shattered silently into countless specks of light that soared towards the sky before condensing into a slender river of light that flowed into Lu Xuan's body.
At the same time, a thought appeared in his mind.
Harvested a fifth-grade Pure Yang Golden Lotus and obtained a sixth-grade treasure, the Grand Pure Yang True Fire.
As the thought faded, a wisp of pure white flame appeared before Lu Xuan.
The flame resembled the Pure Yang True Fire he had obtained earlier, exuding a similarly intense aura of utmost yang and firmness.
However, the spiritual power contained within far surpassed that of its predecessor. It seemed capable of unleashing a mountain-toppling, sea-overturning power at any moment, and even Lu Xuan's current physical strength could sense the immense threat it posed.
