Chapter 164 - Improvement of spiritual plant varieties
Yao Qing also benefited a lot from these two missions. Although the apparent benefits were not much, she gained more trust from the foundation-building cultivators behind her.
Therefore, she was also full of confidence in Lu Xuan and rushed over to sense him as soon as possible.
"Sister Yao, what is the specific matter?"
Lu Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Has Junior Brother Lu learned about the improvement of spiritual plant varieties?"
Lu Xuan shook his head. He was born in a wild way. Although he made up for the common sense of spiritual plants and spiritual beasts after entering the sect, he still did not accumulate enough.
For example, the method of refining spiritual seeds only mastered two types of spiritual fireflies and blood jade ginseng. As for the improvement of spiritual plant varieties, he had never touched it.
However, he cultivated and took over so many spiritual plants, and slowly touched this level.
In Linyang Market, due to the invasion of evil spirits, a large number of spiritual plants in Baicaotang mutated, although they were solved by Lu Xuan.
But think about it afterwards, if a mutated spiritual plant survives, will it become a new spiritual plant?
There is also the elder sister in the sect who loves spiritual fruits. Due to the influence of the growing environment, the flaming fruits she grows only need Yin fire to nourish them. In the long run, the spiritual fruits produced should have different effects from normal flaming fruits.
In addition, since the hybrid black-scaled dragon can hybridize and produce a hybrid black-scaled dragon, does that mean that spiritual plants are easier to produce?
Seeing him like this, Yao Qing hurriedly explained.
"Uncle He has recently cultivated a batch of mutant spiritual seeds and has planted them. She is busy and has limited energy. Now she needs an experienced spiritual plant master to cultivate mutant spiritual plants every day.
Observe the growth of the spiritual plants. If there are any abnormalities, report to uncle in time."
Lu Xuan nodded and asked Yao Qing.
"Sister Yao, am I the only one cultivating spiritual plants, or are there other fellow disciples?"
"If Junior Brother Lu agrees, it will be only you. After all, there are not many mutant spiritual plants, and one spiritual plant master is enough."
"Then what about my freedom?"
Yao Qing pondered for a moment and replied.
"As long as Junior Brother Lu can cultivate those mutant spiritual plants, I won't care what you do in the rest of the time."
"That's good. I'm used to being lazy and can't stand too many constraints. Please forgive me, Senior Sister."
Lu Xuan nodded. No matter what kind of task it is, he needs time to return to his cave to cultivate and take care of the spiritual plants. After all, that is the foundation of his current life. In
addition, he doesn't like being controlled by others. The reason why he can show his exquisite spiritual plant level is that after completing the "planting" process, he can understand the detailed situation of the spiritual plants. If someone else is always monitoring, it will be difficult to display it.
He asked Yao Qing about a few small details of the task again. After confirming that there is no problem, he happily agreed. After
simply cleaning up the cave, the two of them each rode a spiritual crane. After a while, they stopped at a beautiful mountain.
"Junior Brother Lu, why don't you need to pay spiritual stones when you ride the spiritual crane?"
Yao Qing couldn't help asking as the two shuttled between various strange spiritual trees.
"Because I have a little friendship with the spiritual crane tribe of the sect, they refused to accept the spiritual stones even if I forced them to give them. After giving them a few times, they just let it go."
Lu Xuan replied, looking around. There were tall spiritual trees growing everywhere.
"This is the mountain where Master Uncle He usually lives. Master Uncle is good at making talismans, so he planted many spiritual trees that can be used as materials for making talismans."
Yao Qing explained when he saw that Lu Xuan was a little curious.
The two soon came to a quiet and elegant small building.
The small building was surrounded by a layer of dark green bamboo, tightly and tightly.
Yao Qing took out his identity nameplate and shook it in front of the bamboo. The bamboo flashed with spiritual light, and a wooden door appeared in front of the two.
Entering the courtyard, Lu Xuan saw a gentle female cultivator sitting in the courtyard. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, and behind her were faintly various exotic flowers and plants.
Hearing the noise of the two people coming in, the strange image behind her instantly disappeared, and the faint fragrance remained. The gentle female cultivator opened her eyes and looked at the two people indifferently.
"Uncle He, this is Junior Brother Lu Xuan, who has a good attainment in the spiritual plant."
Yao Qing bowed and introduced Lu Xuan to the gentle female cultivator.
"Hello, Uncle He."
Lu Xuan hurriedly saluted.
"Nephew Lu, I have heard Xiaoqing mention you more than once. This time I wanted to issue a task in the General Affairs Hall. She said you can try, so I asked you to come and take a look first." The
gentle female cultivator said with a smile.
"Thanks to the kindness of Uncle He and Sister Yao, Lu will do his best to cultivate and take care of those mutant spiritual plants for Uncle."
"Okay, I believe you." The smile on the face of the gentle female cultivator became even bigger.
"Let's go to the spiritual field first."
Wen Wan, a female cultivator, was in front, and Lu Xuan and Yao Qing were behind, shuttling between the towering spiritual trees.
"How much do you know about the improvement of spiritual plant varieties, nephew Lu?"
Wen Wan, a female cultivator, asked on the way.
"Not many, please help me, uncle."
"There are two main methods of improvement. One is to stimulate the inside of the seed through special means during the seed breeding or storage stage, induce it to change, and thus cultivate new varieties of spiritual plants."
"The other is to change the spiritual environment and growth conditions of the spiritual plants during their growth, so that the spiritual plants can adapt and adjust slowly, and the plants will undergo new changes."
"Both of these cultivation methods require a large amount of spiritual seeds or spiritual plants. Even though I am now in the middle stage of foundation building, I can't do experiments often."
"Moreover, the changes caused by the stimulation of spiritual seeds are unknown. You don't know how to cultivate new spiritual plants, what grade of spiritual plants you will get after they mature, and what effects they will have, etc."
"Many times, the spiritual seeds will have the effect of annihilation, or the effect of the cultivated spiritual plants is far lower than expected, much worse than the original spiritual plants."
"As for using various extreme means to stimulate the spiritual plants to change, it is easy to cause great damage to the spiritual plants themselves, and it also requires strong financial resources to support them."
Wenwan female cultivator patiently explained.
"Thank you, uncle."
Lu Xuan nodded, his heart churning.
"The first kind of stimulation of spiritual seeds doesn't seem to be a problem for me. As long as I plant the seeds, I will know its grade, efficacy, and cultivation method. I can directly screen out those low-grade or even ineffective spiritual seeds without wasting energy on them."
"As for the second kind, it is even less of a problem. Extreme means can cause damage to spiritual plants. I can grasp the extent of the damage through the real-time state of the spiritual plants. Even if the damage is serious, I can make targeted treatments."
"So, I am quite suitable for spiritual plant variety improvement."
Lu Xuan nodded secretly.
"But the biggest problem is that there are no spiritual stones!"
A good cook cannot cook without rice. If he really invests his wealth in spiritual plant variety improvement, it is estimated that he will not make a single wave.
