Chapter 859: The Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Needle
Chapter 859: The Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Needle
After the Air Cicada Tree shed its skin for the first time, the rewards revealed by the light group were within Lu Chen's expectations.
He did not feel the slightest bit of disappointment, instead, his anticipation grew.
After all, the tree had just reached the first-rank spiritual plant stage and had already produced the Hidden Cicada Shell, a second-rank treasure. If it continued to grow and shed its skin, the rewards would undoubtedly become more impressive.
It was common knowledge that for a cultivator at his current stage of forming pills, the rewards from ordinary first-rank spiritual plants were meager and barely worth the effort.
Taking advantage of the time between the Air Cicada Tree's first molt, Lu Chen decided to check on the Eightfold Palace, which was also seventh-rank and shared similarities with the tree.
The first level, the Xun Wind Palace, was diligently absorbing the strange wind from the Wind Cave Stone, and it seemed that it would still be some time before the spirit flower bloomed.
"The Air Cicada Tree has been steadily climbing the ranks, and the eight spirit flowers of the Eightfold Palace should be progressing in parallel. Under the right conditions, the time required for each level should not vary too much." Lu Chen speculated to himself.
Days in the cultivation world were simple yet fulfilling, and another two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Both the Ice Firefly Grass and the Five Elements Mirage Fruit had successfully formed their seeds.
The former maintained a stable yield of around a hundred seeds, while the latter, being of a higher rank and forming seeds for the first time, produced six vibrant and colorful seeds from just two fruits.
One day, as Lu Chen was practicing his cultivation techniques in the spirit field, a deep voice echoed from outside his cave abode.
"Senior Lu, I am Feng Peng from the Hailou Merchant Association. I have been sent by Manor Lord Wen to bring you the Thunder Riot Lotus seeds."
"The seed delivery has arrived, and they're faster than I expected," Lu Chen thought to himself as his spiritual sense swept past.
Outside stood a young man with a steady demeanor, respectfully awaiting his presence.
After harvesting that batch of Thunder Riot Lotuses, Lu Chen had entrusted the merchant association to help him collect more seeds, hoping to obtain more Exterminating Evil Spiritual Thunder from the light groups.
Unexpectedly, in just a short span of two to three months, they had managed to procure the seeds for him.
"Having the backing of a powerful organization certainly has its perks. Although the Thunder Riot Lotus isn't particularly high in rank, gathering this many seeds in such a short time on my own would have been a daunting task," Lu Chen mused to himself.
With a thought, his body transformed into a silvery-white streak, appearing outside his abode.
"I am Feng Peng, junior to you, Senior Lu. It is an honor to meet you," the young man said with a polite bow upon seeing Lu Chen's emergence.
"Feng, my friend, thank you for bringing the seeds. Please, come in and have a chat," Lu Chen said, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he gestured for Feng Peng to follow him.
"I am honored to obey your command," Feng Peng replied, his face beaming with delight as he carefully followed Lu Chen, his head lowered in a respectful manner, not daring to glance around.
"Senior, these are the Thunder Riot Lotus seeds that the merchant association has gathered from various places and our other branch offices during this period. There are a total of fifty-six seeds, please have a look," the young man said as they reached the courtyard. With a single hand wave, over fifty silvery-white seeds appeared before him, each bearing a thin, long lightning mark, and faint thunderbolts flashing within.
"Fifty-six seeds? Excellent!" Lu Chen exclaimed inwardly, a smile spreading across his face.
While the Thunder Riot Lotus wasn't particularly high in rank, it was impressive to have gathered so many in such a short time.
"Senior, do you plan to cultivate these Thunder Riot Lotuses by yourself, just like last time? Or would you like to cultivate them on behalf of the merchant association? We will generously compensate you once they mature," the young man said, his eyes lowered respectfully.
"I'll buy these seeds from you, just like last time," Lu Chen replied without hesitation.
"Then shall we stick to the previous price of five thousand lower-grade spirit stones per seed, Senior?
Lu Chen waved his sleeve, and a large pile of vibrant Medium-grade Spirit Stones appeared before the young man.
With his current substantial wealth, this amount of Spirit Stones was negligible.
After counting the Spirit Stones, the young man did not linger and bid farewell to Lu Chen somewhat awkwardly.
Lu Chen, carrying all the Thunder Riot Lotus spirit seeds, found a spacious empty area and planted them one by one.
"I still need to find a way to collect the Thunder Riot Lotus's essence, or perhaps I can try to figure it out myself."
He gazed at the numerous spirit seeds being nourished by the strands of spirit rain in the spirit soil and couldn't help but sigh.
Less than a month after planting the Thunder Riot Lotuses, a high-rank spirit plant matured in the cave abode.
Lu Chen, who was practicing the Star Contemplation Technique, sensed something and looked up.
There was a slight disturbance in a corner of the spirit field.
His spiritual sense swept over, and he saw that the sixth-grade Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Tree had unknowingly stirred up an invisible force field, creating a spiritual storm of flying sand and rocks within.
The force field had an unusually strange attraction to metal; even from a distance, Lu Chen's flying sword kept trembling as if it would be drawn away at any moment.
"The Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Tree has matured."
Lu Chen's thoughts turned, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning, appearing above the Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Tree in an instant.
He focused his mind on the tree, and immediately saw that the progress bar underneath it was fully charged and transparent.
"Another sixth-grade spirit plant has matured!"
Lu Chen was delighted, and his palm turned into a translucent jade color as he slowly reached into the invisible force field and pulled out the Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Tree.
[Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Tree, Sixth-grade Spirit Plant, cultivated in a special environment with Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Spirit Power. After maturation, it possesses the ability to attract all things and can be used to refine treasures containing the Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Light or to assist in cultivating the Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Light technique.]
"This rare sixth-grade spirit plant has finally been successfully cultivated."
Lu Chen had mixed feelings, as he had obtained this peculiar spirit seed from Ge Pu, a true disciple of the Tianjian Sect, back when he was still at the sect. However, due to the difficulty in meeting its cultivation requirements, he had to wait until a fellow cultivator brought back the Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Spirit Ore from a secret realm before he could begin cultivating it.
"I wonder how Ge Pu is doing at Dongxuan Jianzong."
The image of Ge Pu with his distinctive black and white heterochromatic eyes floated into Lu Chen's mind, and he turned his gaze to the white light group that had quietly appeared.
Suppressing his excitement, he reached out and gently touched the surface of the light group.
The light group silently shattered, turning into countless microscopic light spots that rose into the sky and instantly condensed into an invisible flying needle shadow, which quickly entered Lu Chen's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested a Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Tree, obtained a seventh-grade treasure, the Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Needle.]
As the thought vanished, a divine needle appeared before Lu Chen.
The needle transformed into a shadowy figure, appearing and disappearing as if it were traveling through the void. Wherever it passed, a faint glow appeared, emitting a powerful and mysterious suction force.
Lu Chen focused his mind on the needle and immediately gained detailed information about it.
[Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Needle, Seventh-grade Treasure, crafted countless times from the rare Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Spirit Ore, imbued with the power of the Yin-Yang Prime Magnetic Divine Light. It can break through all methods and substances, especially effective against metal-type artifacts and treasures. It can be refined into a mid-grade artifact.]
"Another seventh-grade treasure!"
Lu Chen exclaimed in surprise, his face radiant with joy.
