Chapter 189 - Earth Fire Heart Lotus Moonlight Grass

  "Thank you for your hard work."

  Lu Xuan jumped down from the back of a tall spiritual crane, took out a red spiritual fruit and stuffed it into its mouth.

  The spiritual crane pecked his palm gently, and its head with white feathers touched him intimately for a few times, and with a crisp cry, it rushed into the sky.

  Lu Xuan was familiar with the road and entered the main hall of the Sinong Hall.

  He came to the old farmer monk who he knew well and said with a smile:

  "Fellow Daoist Xia, I haven't seen you for a while. I'm here to exchange spiritual seeds again."

  The old farmer monk raised his head, with wrinkles on his face. He glanced at Lu Xuan and instantly noticed the change in Lu Xuan's aura.

  His spiritual consciousness carefully scanned it, his face changed drastically, and he bowed his head and said respectfully.

  "Uncle Lu, you are here. Is there anything I can do for you?"

  "Fellow Daoist Xia, you don't have to be so reserved.

  I came here this time to collect the cultivation resources after I was promoted to the foundation-building stage."

  Lu Xuan said gently. He was a little helpless about the reaction of his old acquaintances after seeing him. He seemed to be much more unfamiliar, but he could still understand it. After all, the cultivation world is based on strength and has strict hierarchy. Once you break through to a new realm, it is impossible to go back to the past.

  "Reporting to Uncle, if you want to apply for free spirit seeds or condensation methods in the foundation-building stage, you need to enter the inner hall and register with your identity card to obtain them."

  The old farmer monk explained to Lu Xuan.

  "Then please take me to the inner hall."

  The old farmer monk nodded heavily and took Lu Xuan into the side door.

  "Uncle Lu, the inner hall is in front. It is not convenient for Qi training disciples to enter. I can only send you here."

  "Thank you, fellow Daoist Xia."

  Lu Xuan thanked him and walked to the door of the inner hall.

  There was a ban at the door. He took out his identity card, shook it, and then entered it.

  The old farmer monk watched Lu Xuan disappear, his expression changed, and he sighed in his heart.

  The inner hall looked very ordinary from the outside, but it was a world of its own after entering. In the wide hall, there was a carpet made of high-level monster skins, and there were more than ten potted plants with aura everywhere. The tables and chairs seemed to be made of several kinds of spiritual wood, with natural mysterious patterns on them. Everything looked simple and luxurious.

  In the huge inner hall, there were only two early foundation building monks on duty. No one except Lu Xuan entered it. It was much quieter than the outer hall.

  "This position seems to be suitable for slacking off..."

  Lu Xuan sighed in his heart and came to one of the young monks.

  The young monk had an ordinary appearance and a restrained and steady temperament. When he saw Lu Xuan coming, he quickly stood up to greet him.

  "Hello, fellow Taoist, I am Zhang Ce. I am a little unfamiliar to you. Is this your first time in the inner hall?"

  "Hello, Senior Brother Zhang, I am Lu Xuan. It is indeed my first time entering the inner hall."

  Lu Xuan replied.

  The two chatted for a while, and Lu Xuan told him the purpose of his visit.

  "Brother Zhang, I just broke through to the foundation-building stage not long ago. I learned that after becoming an inner sect disciple, I can obtain certain cultivation resources from the sect. Since I have a great interest in spiritual plants, I came to the Sinong Hall."

  "It is true. According to the sect's rules, in the early stage of foundation-building, you can obtain a seedling or spiritual seed of a fourth-grade spiritual plant, three third-grade spiritual plants,

  and ten second-grade spiritual plants. The types are within the scope stipulated by the sect." "In addition, you can also choose several methods to condense spiritual seeds. However, because the condensation method is much more precious than spiritual seeds and seedlings, you can only choose one method to condense third-grade and three second-grade spiritual seeds."

  "This is the benefit of inner sect disciples..."   

  Lu Xuan was so moved that he burst into tears. How many spirit stones and sword seals would be needed to exchange for the fourth-grade spirit seeds and the method of refining the third-grade spirit seeds...

  Seeing that he remained silent, the young cultivator continued,

  "If Junior Brother Lu breaks through to the middle stage of foundation building, he can also obtain the same number of spirit seeds and the method of refining spirit seeds. Similarly, the same is true for the late stage of foundation building."

  Hiss...

  Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a breath, and his sense of belonging to the sect suddenly became stronger than ever.

  He tried to calm his thoughts and asked the young cultivator.

  "Brother Zhang Ce, I have another question. Will these resources be effective in other cultivation skills?"

  "Generally, they are limited to one category. Junior Brother Lu can refer to them and choose the cultivation resources he likes."

  "For example, in terms of alchemy, Junior Brother can choose several recipes and some rare alchemy spirit medicines. The overall value is similar to that of spiritual plants."

  "Most of my fellow disciples are only good at one type of cultivation skills, so they usually choose corresponding cultivation resources. Slowly, this has developed into an unwritten rule.

  If Junior Brother wants to have resources for spiritual plants or alchemy, it is not impossible, but it will be much more troublesome."

  Lu Xuan nodded to show his understanding.

  If alchemy, refining, array formations, talismans, puppet making and raising Gu are all provided to foundation-building cultivators with the same resources, it would be strange if the sect did not go bankrupt.

  "Brother Zhang, I have a special liking for spiritual plants. I have made up my mind and will not consider other types of resources. Please introduce me to the situation of spiritual plants."

  "All the spiritual seeds that can be applied for are here. You can choose them yourself."

  Zhang Ce took out a thick jade book. On the jade book, there are hundreds of spiritual plants recorded. The number of second-grade spiritual plants is the largest and the number of fourth-grade spiritual plants is the least. There are also many restrictions on the categories. The

  second-grade sword grass planted by Lu Xuan on the mountain and the sword peacock taken out by the female cultivator he saw in the secret realm before are not among them.

  Lu Xuan kept flipping through and comparing, and slowly made a decision.

  "Brother Zhang, I want to apply for a fourth-grade earth fire heart lotus spiritual seed."

  He pointed to a slowly rotating fiery red lotus and said to the young cultivator. The

  lotus rhizome is light red with dense and fine lines. At first glance, you would think that the rhizome is condensed by countless irregular light red crystals.

  The leaves are fiery red, and there is a faint flow of fiery red magma between the veins.

  After making a fortune from Qianlong Lake last time, Lu Xuan had considered the Earth Fire Heart Lotus Spirit Seed, but because it could not meet the condition of being planted in hot magma, he had to choose the Black Insect Vine, which was also of the fourth grade.

  Now, there is a magma river inside the mountain, and the conditions are sufficient to plant this fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus.

  "Okay."

  The young monk glanced at it and saw that the pattern of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus was lit on the jade book. He confirmed that there was a ready-made spirit seed and nodded.

  "For the third-grade spirit seed... I will choose the same spirit seed, Yuelin Grass."

  Lu Xuan flipped through the jade book and pointed to one of the lit patterns.

  A spirit grass quietly appeared. The spirit grass was silvery white, as if a layer of light moonlight was pouring on it, revealing a hazy feeling. The

  annotation below the spirit grass said that the mature Yuelin Grass is extremely suitable for raising monsters and can accelerate the growth of monsters, which made Lu Xuan very excited.

  Planting Yuelin Grass can get you a light ball reward. If you also raise monsters, you can better hold on to the thigh of Xuantian Bailuan, and you can also speed up the acquisition of light balls from other monsters.

  It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone.
