Chapter 362: Chapter 360 Jade Dew Fruit_l
The Yunshan Jade Tablet was refined from Yunshan jade essence and has the ability to ward off evil and avoid misfortune. It can be used directly as a protective magical artifact and can be imprinted with runes.
After the Jade Scale Fruit matured, Lu Xuan still had two Yunshan Jade Tablets in his hand, and an Immaculate Jade hanging around his neck.
However, the Immaculate Jade was slightly inferior in rank and since he had grown accustomed to using it, he dismissed the idea of using it to absorb the Shen Yin foul gas.
“The fourth-grade Yunshan Jade Tablet absorbs those foul gases…”
Lu Xuan’s mind flashed with a hint of hesitation, but instantly vanished.
The Azure Cloud Order gifted by Su Man Man had made him determined to seek protection under the Sect, saving him a lot of trouble, thus it was only natural for him to repay her with a Yunshan Jade tablet.
More importantly, the fourth-grade Yunshan Jade Tablet was not particularly rare for him. If he needed it, he could cultivate another spirit plant and open a new light cluster.
Thinking this, he placed the exquisite jade tablet next to the damaged Sword Peacock.
His mind guided the black spirit emitted by the Sword Peacock.
The black spirit seemed to be attracted to the Yunshan Jade Tablet. It, which had originally shown no signs of movement despite his efforts, slowly approached the exquisitely made jade.
Under the control of Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense, the separated black spirit slowly seeped into the jade, clearly visible within the translucent tablet.
Upon entering the Yunshan Jade Tablet, the Shen Yin foul gas lost its original dominance and obediently stayed inside the jade tablet.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan directed a cleansing spell at the jade tablet, slowly dissolving the minute amount of Shen Yin foul gas in conjunction with the tablet.
After the foul gas had disappeared, Lu Xuan keenly noticed that the luminosity of the jade tablet had slightly dimmed.
“First dissolve the ones around the swords body, then consider the ones that have invaded the swords body. From the outside to the inside, take it slowly.”
Lu Xuan ideated that restoring the Sword Peacock would require meticulous effort over a period of time, he did not show the slightest impatience.
Returning to his room, various details about the “Peacock Sword Array” surfaced in his mind. He carefully pondered and felt them, striving to master them soon so that he could begin cultivating the fourth-grade Sword Peacock.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Lu Xuan cultivated spiritual plants and bred spirit beasts day after day, doing his best to keep the spirit plants and spirit beasts in his cave dwelling in the best growing conditions.
Lured by the various rewards from the light cluster, even though the life of farming was simple and boring to him, he found contentment in it.
Cultivating spirit plants and spirit beasts allowed him to obtain various treasures without risking his life exploring secret lands or competing with other cultivators, demon beasts and demon envoys. Where else could he find such a comfortable life?
In his free time, he would also cultivate for a while.
Although he had already been aware of his average talent in cultivation, whenever he was in the mood, he would cultivate “The Great Five Elements”, deriving a bit of psychological comfort from the improvement in his cultivation level.
In order to better cultivate the two types of fourth-grade Sword Grass, he spent no small amount of time on the “Peacock Sword Array” and “Thousand Owl Sword Classic”.
Occasionally, he would meditate on the “Pure Yang True Fire Talisman”, take a Water Dragon Essence Blood bath, and cultivate the “Transforming Dragon in the Void” to enhance his physique.
He would regularly consume an Evil Eye Pupil from the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree to help him cultivate the “Breaking Illusion Eye Technique” faster. After the accumulation of abnormal spirit in his body reached a certain level, he would use the Lotus Seeds of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus to purify his body, slightly enhancing his spiritual perception.
He was indulging in fourth-grade treasures without considering the cost at all, to the point where it could be described as extravagant considering his current Foundation Establishment mid-term realm.
He had no choice, the light cluster rewards were simply too many, he had to digest some.
One day, Guan Wan came to Lu Xuan’s dwelling to deliver seeds.
Their previous cooperation was very satisfactory. All the Primordial Essence Herb that Lu Xuan cultivated survived and some even surpassed her expectations in quality. Therefore, Dan Palace was willing to continue the mode of commissioning Lu Xuan to cultivate spirit plants.
“Junior Brother Lu, I made you wait. I couldn’t acquire a large quantity of third-grade spirit seeds in a short time. Moreover, due to the demand from other alchemists and Spirit Plant Masters, even if it is from the Agricultural Department Hall, we have to prepare for a period of time.”
“I brought the spirit seeds over as soon as I got them.”
Guan Wan said softly to Lu Xuan.
“The delay is of no consequence, it’s so kind of Sister Guan to be so considerate.”
Lu Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
“Next time if Junior Brother wants to cultivate primordial essence herb or other spiritual plants, you can let me know in advance.”
Guan Wan quickly switched the topic.
“There are even more spirit seeds brought over this time than the last time. We have thirty batches of the primordial essence herb spirit seeds and on top of that, there are ten batches of the jade dew fruit spirit seeds. Both are the main ingredients for producing the foundation establishment pill.”
After showing his prowess in cultivating spiritual plant, Lu Xuan received even higher evaluations from the Dan Palace, prompting them to entrust him with cultivating even more high-grade spirit species.
“Thank you, Sister Guan.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan was elated.
The third-grade spiritual plants are considered part of the Foundation Establishment category and are key ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills. Being able to receive so many spirit seeds at once was unexpected good fortune.
“This is all the spirit seeds, please have a look Junior brother.”
Before Guan Wan, forty spirit seeds floated in the air, gently drifting towards Lu Xuan.
Thirty of the spirit seeds belonged to primordial essence herb, they were elongated and had a grey-brown exterior which made them look quite ordinary, akin to seeds solidified from roadside weeds.
However, Lu Xuan was well aware that within these seeds, a pure essence of grass was gestating, hence the name, Primordial Essence Herb.
And the other ten seeds seemed like ten drops of silvery dew that was glossy and emanated a refreshing aroma.
“There are more spirit seeds this time, and combined with the previous Five-Element Fruit, the task is more challenging, thank you for your hard work.”
Guan Wan smiled at Lu Xuan as he took the spirit seeds.
“It’s no trouble at all. It’s my honour to be able to contribute something, however insignificant, to the alchemists in the Dan Palace like Sister Guan.”
Lu Xuan grinned, looking at the forty spirit seeds in his hand, as if he were looking at forty slowly forming white clusters of light.
With thirty batches of the primordial essence herb, he could concoct a single foundation establishment pill, a nascent soul grass orb, and the formula for the foundation establishment pill as well as the ten unknown reward jade dew fruit. The Dan Palace had paid him a fee to let him freeload from the light clusters, how could he find this burdening?
After Guan Wan left, he couldn’t wait any longer to get to his spirit field.
In front of him, the spirit soil quietly changed, a small crack appeared and one of the jade dew fruit spirit seeds was inserted into it.
His spiritual sense focused on the spirit seed that was just like a dew drop.
“The Jade Dew Fruit is a third-grade spiritual plant. During its growing period, it requires a high concentration of spiritual energy. It needs to be vaporizing with pure spiritual energy to promote the plant’s growth properly.”
“Jade Dew Fruit absorbs condensed dewdrops and stores them in plant itself or in the spiritual fruit. Once matured, it contains pure spiritual energy and is a principal ingredient in creating a Foundation Establishment Pill. It can also be consumed directly as a spiritual fruit.”
“Once golden wind and jade dew meet, transcending countless worldly affairs.”
“Jade Dew Fruit, Jade Scale Fruit, varying by only a word, yet the method of cultivation and their effects are radically different.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself. He had previously grown a type of spirit fruit known as Jade Scale Fruit that required being grown in jade spirit mineral areas and could enhance one’s physique and be made into body refinement elixirs.
However, Jade Dew Fruit required cultivating in a misty spiritual energy environment and thus focused on increasing a cultivator’s spiritual energy..
