Chapter 65
The serene spiritual glow didn't stir any commotion. Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and scooped up half a bowl of spring water from the spiritual pool, pouring it onto the severely damaged Blood Essence Leaf.
The leaf greedily absorbed the spring water, its large surface lazily drooping, the tips lightly brushing the surface of the spiritual soil.
"At last, the issue plaguing this Blood Essence Leaf has been resolved."
Returning indoors, Lu Xuan's thoughts drifted.
This not only meant that he could resolve the intrusion and contamination problems in the spirit plants he had personally cultivated but also address other ailing spirit plants, provided they were brought into his spiritual field and planted there.
Though not initially rewarding when cultivating spirit plants, if wielded skillfully, this method could bring him considerable benefits.
At the thought, a wave of contentment washed over him.
After envisioning the possibilities, he brought 120 seeds of Spirit Firefly Grass to his spiritual field.
Cultivating and nurturing spirit plants to earn white light clusters was the right path.
Once the hundred Spirit Firefly Grass plants matured, a large area cleared up in the spiritual field.
Using Earth Attraction Technique, Lu Xuan created subtle cracks in the spiritual soil, just enough to accommodate the slender and withered Spirit Firefly Grass seeds.
Planting over a hundred seeds, he performed a round of Spirit Rain Technique, saturating the spiritual soil in the area of the Spirit Firefly Grass seeds, nurturing the slender spirits with each thread of rain soaking into the soil.
After planting the Spirit Firefly Grass, Lu Xuan leisurely surveyed his spiritual field.
The second-grade Sword Grass had grown to around three feet in height, standing tall like a sword pointing toward the sky.
Around the Sword Grass, numerous faint sword auras swirled, and on the ground, one could see dense, tiny sword marks.
Lu Xuan effortlessly cast the Golden Sword Technique, golden sword auras traversed the Sword Grass's body, leaving behind shallow golden trails.
Under the specially constructed wooden shed, the second-grade Dark Marrow Fungus planted during the same period had extended its dark red mycelium, almost covering the entire shed. Lu Xuan faintly glimpsed the interior of the Dark Marrow Fungus, where viscous dark red liquid flowed through vein-like channels.
The white mist around the Illusory Smoke Fruit expanded, nearing one and a half yards in length, its density increasing, expertly concealing the plant within like mist in the depths.
His spiritual perception struggled within the mist, taking him a while to locate it accurately. A precise Spirit Rain Technique hit the plant, thoroughly nourishing it.
Three Clear Spirit Teas had several delicate green shoots growing on their intricately branched stems, contrasting with their serpentine, sturdy old roots, making the shoots seem ethereal and independent.
Twenty Blood Jade Ginsengs of first-grade quality were also in a satisfactory growth state, having been cultivated for nearly half a year, not far from maturity.
As for the Dragonvine, after digesting the bottle of Double-Winged Golden Scale Snake blood, it appeared half-lifeless, only sustained by Lu Xuan's Spirit Rain Technique, barely maintaining vitality.
Lu Xuan uncorked the bottle, inside flowed a strange, colorful, and otherworldly liquid emitting a rich, peculiar fragrance.
Carefully, he poured the red and green liquid onto the Dragonvine.
Instantly, the Dragonvine seemed to revive, greedily absorbing the red and green mixed liquid dripping onto its vines.
In no time, green patterns appeared on the vines, exuding an enchanting aura against the vine's blackness.
"With the Azure Water Python's blood provided by the Yu family, the Dragonvine can finally be stably nurtured for the long term."
He approached the Crimson Cloud Pine; the last two Crimson Cloud Pine seeds had matured.
Out of the two seeds, one was of superior quality, while the other was perfect quality.
Among the five Crimson Cloud Pine seeds, it was the only one with a perfect-quality pine seed.
Two white light clusters appeared where the pine seeds were picked, faintly shimmering, impossible to conceal from the countless slender needles.
Lu Xuan gently picked up the first white light cluster, the one of superior quality.
"Harvested one Crimson Cloud Pine seed, obtained a 'Complete Compendium of Basic Runes.'"
A thought flashed in his mind, deepening his understanding of materials and rune creation concerning runes.
"An experience package, Basic Runes: From Novice to Proficient."
Out of the five Crimson Cloud Pine seeds, two volumes of the 'Complete Compendium of Basic Runes' emerged, furthering Lu Xuan's comprehension of dozens of basic first-grade runes.
However, whether in alchemy or rune drawing, the early stages were highly resource-consuming, with a high
failure rate, often resulting in loss. It was only to gain more related experiences.
Therefore, Lu Xuan didn't intend to rush into rune drawing and would absorb more experience packages before doing so.
The second white light cluster, a perfect-quality Crimson Cloud Pine seed, further piqued Lu Xuan's anticipation.
A notion flashed in his mind, and an transparent jade talisman appeared in his hand.
Under this transparent jade talisman, all things were laid bare, as if filtered, leaving everything clear, bright, and pure wherever it traversed.
"Jade of Purity, a third-grade auxiliary treasure, clears and enlightens the mind, resisting intrusion and contamination by evil forces. Wearing it long-term slightly enhances a cultivator's spiritual perception."
