Chapter 855: A Herbologist's Leisurely Time
As his thoughts faded, a mysterious and intricate array disc appeared before Lu Chen.
The disc was inscribed with countless esoteric array patterns that seemed to pulse with life, slowly undulating and causing the dense five elemental energies to surge and spill forth radiant light.
Lu Chen focused his mind on the array disc, instantly comprehending its detailed information.
Great Five Element Annihilation Array, a seventh-grade array formation. The array disc is incomplete, containing the origin power of the five elements. It can annihilate all things within the array and combines offensive, defensive, and illusory array functions. It can easily withstand the assault of several Yuan Ying True Lords.
"It's actually a seventh-grade array!" Lu Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Being able to easily withstand several Yuan Ying True Lords, if one enters the array, they might even be able to slay them. This seventh-grade array came just in time."
"As expected of the Light Orb!"
A smile appeared on his face.
Currently, Tianxing Cave, and even the entire Liyang Realm, was facing the intrusion of evil demons. Although Lu Chen, who had stayed in his cave mansion for years, could avoid many risks, he couldn't guarantee that the demons wouldn't invade his cave mansion.
At present, his two cave mansions, the Leihuoxing Cave had the six-grade Wanzhang Xuanjing Array, and Fengyuanxing Cave had the two fifth-grade arrays: the Five Element Illusion Array and the Yunzhu Arrow Array. However, the defensive power of these arrays was starting to seem inadequate.
"Fortunately, the two spiritual herbs I'm cultivating can make up for that," Lu Chen thought to himself.
"The Starfruit can produce the Star Banners, and once I gather enough, along with the Circumscribing Star Sword, I can set up the seventh-grade Circumscribing Star Sword Array."
"As for the Five Element Illusion Fruit, it can produce parts of the Great Five Element Annihilation Array. Once I collect all ten array discs, I'll possess a complete seventh-grade array."
The Five Element Illusion Fruit, a fifth-grade spiritual herb, was already quite satisfying to Lu Chen as it could produce a part of a seventh-grade array.
He suppressed his curiosity and refrained from harvesting the other two Five Element Illusion Fruits, choosing instead to use them for condensing spirit seeds.
Time passed quickly during the farming days.
In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed. During this period, the chamber of commerce delivered a pair of Heterochromatic Eyes taken from a fourth-grade magical beast.
Although their grade wasn't high, Lu Chen was content, as they were more than sufficient for the initial stages of cultivating the Double Pupil Flower.
The remaining twenty-eight Thunderbolt Lotuses gradually entered their fully mature stage.
Lu Chen intentionally waited for all of them to mature before returning to the spirit herb field.
As he approached, he saw strands of thunderous light cascading down, like multiple thunderous waterfalls responding to each other, a spectacular sight.
Lu Chen carefully plucked the silvery-white lotus seeds.
One by one, white light orbs appeared in the spirit herb field.
The twenty-eight orbs flickered softly, seemingly inviting Lu Chen to come and unlock them.
Almost simultaneously, all the orbs silently shattered, and countless tiny specks of light soared into the sky, instantly transforming into slender rivers of light that flowed into Lu Chen's body.
Thought after thought flashed through his mind like a carousel.
Harvested a fourth-grade Thunderbolt Lotus and obtained a fifth-grade treasure, the Lei Sha Pill.
Harvested a fourth-grade Thunderbolt Lotus and obtained the Shenxiao Zhenfa Thunder Manual experience package.
Harvested a fourth-grade Thunderbolt Lotus and obtained the treasure, the Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder.
...
As the thoughts faded, twenty-eight rewards materialized before Lu Chen, either as physical objects or as experience packages in his sea of consciousness.
Among them, he had obtained fifteen Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunders, and with the twenty-two he had saved up previously, he now had a total of thirty-seven.
"I wonder which evil demon will have the fortune of experiencing the baptism of the Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder," Lu Chen mused as he employed his thunder manipulation technique, storing the dazzling golden Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunders within his body.
He had obtained six fifth-grade Lei Ji Escape Talismans, four fifth-grade Lei Sha Pills, and three Thunder Manual experience packages.
"I'd wager that even those cultivators who exclusively cultivate Thunder Law, be they at the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage, don't possess such an exquisite Thunder Manipulation Technique."
A smile played on Lu Chen's lips as the golden snake twisted and slithered into his sleeve.
"It's a pity I don't know how to condense the seeds of the Thunderbolt Lotus; I can only rely on the chamber of commerce to collect more Thunderbolt Lotus spirit seeds for me."
He sighed softly.
"Once I acquire more seed condensation methods, I can summarize the rules and, with my special ability to control the subtle states of spirit herbs, perhaps I can develop a method to focus on cultivating and condensing the seeds of spirit herbs."
Lu Chen had a sudden inspiration and decided that next time he would collect as many Thunderbolt Lotus spirit seeds as possible and experiment with condensing them during the cultivation process.
"All the seed condensation methods in the cultivation world have been discovered through the painstaking efforts of countless cultivators over countless generations."
"With my ability to control spirit herbs, it's no exaggeration to say that I alone am equivalent to an entire large sect working together to research seed condensation methods."
He made up his mind to intentionally select spirit herbs with low grades and focused cultivation in the future, attempting to discover their seed condensation methods.
After inspecting each spirit herb, Lu Chen made his way back to the courtyard, passing through the heavy clouds and mist that shrouded the spirit herb fields.
The fat bird flapped its enormous wings and landed in front of him, lying on the ground as Lu Chen rubbed its round belly.
The tree nymphs danced gracefully, their exquisite bodies exuding a fresh and natural aura, emitting soft chirps that evoked a sense of affection.
The Thunder Dragon Lion transformed into a streak of silver-white light, chasing after the tiny tree nymphs like a kitten playing with butterflies.
The Green Mountain Qilin Tiger followed closely behind, running towards the small lake where it played with the three slightly ugly and ferocious baby crocodile dragons.
Lu Chen took in the peaceful scene within his cave mansion and poured himself a full cup of True Sword Liquid, savoring the moment and the leisure unique to a spirit herbologist.
"Speaking of which, Wood Daoist hasn't visited my cave mansion for a drink in a long time. Since I'm feeling a bit bored right now, I might as well invite him over for a few cups."
Lu Chen took out a transmission talisman and informed Wood Daoist that there was a new, high-quality spirit brew in his cave mansion, urging him to come and try it.
The two had known each other for many years, and since Wood Daoist didn't need to take risks exploring secret realms like ordinary cultivators, he often came to drink with Lu Chen.
Soon, a transmission talisman shot out from the midst of the raging thunder.
When spiritual power was activated, a soft female voice could be heard—it was the female cultivator with the surname Wen from the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce.
"Senior Lu, Wood Daoist decided to seclude himself for closed-door cultivation some time ago, shutting himself off from worldly affairs and disregarding all external distractions."
"Before his seclusion, he entrusted all matters pertaining to the chamber of commerce and his personal affairs to me."
"Rest assured, Senior, as soon as Wood Daoist emerges from seclusion, I will inform him of your message."
"So, he's in closed-door cultivation," Lu Chen sighed.
He then sent a transmission to Lei Zheng, who wasn't far away.
However, the reply came from one of Lei Zheng's followers, informing Lu Chen that Lei Zheng had already entered a secret realm with three other Core Formation True Lords some time ago.
"Closed-door cultivation, treasure hunting in secret realms... these things suddenly sound so foreign to me," Lu Chen chuckled softly, shaking his head.
"In this vast Tianxing Cave, is there truly not a single cultivator who would like to join me for a drink?"
