Chapter 82 - Qi Training Level 7

  Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

  During these ten days, Lu Xuan basically stayed in the yard, cultivating spiritual plants and teasing the Cloud-stepping Lynx.

  During this period, he occasionally went to the casual cultivator market and bought some spiritual rice and monster meat for daily needs, as well as copper and iron ore required for the second-grade copper bone bamboo.

  When he was at the casual cultivator market, he felt that it was filled with a restless atmosphere.

  The opening of the outer area of ​​the new secret realm made many cultivators active, and the prices of magic tools, talismans, and elixirs in the market rose a lot.

  This had little impact on Lu Xuan. He lived a simple and busy life according to his usual rhythm.

  In the spiritual field, the four mature blood jade ginsengs had new changes.

  Lu Xuan followed the method of refining spiritual seeds obtained from Baicaotang, and his spiritual power penetrated into the mature blood jade ginseng, secretly guiding the flow of the spiritual energy of the plants inside.

  At this time, a light red stem appeared on the top of the blood jade ginseng, and a mass of red things condensed on the stem, similar to jade wrapped in stone. Through a thin layer of red film on the surface, you can see that there are several ginseng seeds inside.

  The next thing to do is to cultivate these ginseng seeds well, and when the time is right, use a special method to peel them off. After processing, they can be used to cultivate new blood jade ginseng.

  "I just don't know if it will affect the light ball reward if the mature spiritual plants are not picked normally."

  He thought to himself. When he treated those diseased spiritual plants before, because they were not planted by himself and the cultivation time was short, there was no light ball reward after picking them. He was not sure whether the condensation of spiritual seeds would also be affected.

  Near the blood jade ginseng, the firefly grass that occupied more than half of the spiritual field was growing well, green and lush, with fluorescent dots on the slender leaves, full of vitality and lovely.

  Lu Xuan's spiritual rain technique, wood growth technique, and earth attraction technique were used in turn to nourish the many firefly grasses.

  After absorbing a lot of experience packs and performing them many times a day, his control of the wood growth technique has reached the small success level, which can slightly improve the growth progress of low-grade spiritual plants.

  By understanding the current state of the firefly grass and comparing it with the past, Lu Xuan estimated that this batch of firefly grass could enter the mature stage several days earlier.

  By the Lingquan Pond, the Stepping Cloud Lynx crouched, its green eyes fixed on the lone red-bearded carp.

  Although the red-bearded carp was not very intelligent, it realized that it was not safe outside the Lingquan Pond after its companions disappeared one after another. It either hid at the bottom of the pond or swam around the edge of the pond, relying on the stone walls of the pond for defense.

  Hearing the footsteps of Lu Xuan, the gray-white hair on the tip of the Stepping Cloud Lynx's ears moved slightly, and it turned its head and looked at Lu Xuan.

  Lu Xuan immediately understood what it was thinking, and seeing a white ball of light floating in the Lingquan Pond, he couldn't help but smile.

  "Let's cook."

  As soon as it heard the first word, the Stepping Cloud Lynx suddenly rushed out, and its white cloud-like feet gently stepped on the water surface, and took advantage of the opportunity to hook the thin red long whiskers of the red-bearded carp. Before Lu Xuan could offer the red thread needle, it took the struggling and jumping red-bearded carp into the kitchen.

  Lu Xuan couldn't help laughing. This little guy was addicted to eating red-bearded carp. However, the meat of monsters raised by spiritual springs and spiritual rice was really good.

  He scooped up the white light ball on the surface of the spiritual spring pool.

  A thought flashed through his mind.

  [Harvest a red-bearded carp and obtain the first-grade spell Wood Wall.]

  A spell appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

  [Wood Wall, can control the surrounding trees or give birth to certain special spiritual species, quickly build a wooden wall to resist external attacks. In an environment with a large number of spiritual trees, it can enhance the power of the spell.]

  "First-grade defensive spell, not bad."   

  Lu Xuan muttered to himself.

  In the cultivation world, among the treasures of the same grade, the most valuable are the techniques, magic, and pill recipes, followed by formations, magic tools, pills, talismans, etc., which are slightly lower, and then various monster materials, spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, spiritual minerals, spiritual stones, etc. As for spiritual seeds, they are the lowest value.

  Of course, there is no absolute high or low. According to its efficacy, function, quantity, etc., there will be a certain degree of variation. For example, the prices of several materials from the same monster may vary greatly. The

  first-grade wooden wall technique is not much weaker than the second-grade magic tool red scale armor and the second-grade pill beast spirit pill opened by the two red bearded carps before.

  Lu Xuan resisted the urge to use the spiritual plants in the spiritual field to perform magic and returned to the kitchen. The

  stepping cloud lynx had already put the red bearded carp in the pot. Whenever the red bearded carp wanted to jump out of the pot, it would slap it back with its paw.

  The red-bearded carp was completely crushed. The red-bearded carp didn't know whether it was physically or mentally tired, or both. It slowly stopped and accepted the fact that it was lying in the pot.

  "It's unnecessary. It hasn't been cleaned up yet."

  Lu Xuan pushed the cloud-stepping lynx aside, took out the half-dead red-bearded carp, cut off the two thin red long whiskers and fish scales with the broken silver blade, cut open the fish belly, and took out the internal organs.

  After half an hour, the man and the beast sat slumped without caring about their image, and both showed satisfied expressions on their faces.

  The days of cultivating spiritual plants were simple and peaceful, fulfilling and busy, but Lu Xuan was happy with it. No matter what changes happened in the outside world, he only guarded this one-third acre of spiritual field and quietly waited for the spiritual plants to mature.

  Unknowingly, the first batch of the 120 spiritual fireflies planted had matured.

  Lu Xuan carefully checked the spiritual field and found the ten spiritual fireflies that had entered the fully mature stage first.

  Among the ten spiritual fireflies, there were four good quality and four superior quality, and two perfect quality.

  "My cultivation can finally increase significantly."

  Lu Xuan sighed. While waiting for the Firefly Grass to mature, he would practice on his own in his spare time, but the snail-like pace was really unbearable for him.

  "Firefly Grass, increase my cultivation!"

  Thoughts flashed through his mind.

  [Harvest one Firefly Grass, gain six months of cultivation.]*3 [

  Harvest one Firefly Grass, gain nine months of cultivation.]*2

  Five of the ten white light balls were cultivation rewards. In an instant, a large amount of spiritual power emerged from his body, raging wildly between his Dantian and tendons.

  After the spiritual power calmed down, Lu Xuan was surprised to find that his cultivation, which had been stuck in the sixth level of Qi training for a long time, broke through to the seventh level of Qi training in one fell swoop.

  "Finally promoted to the ranks of high-level Qi training cultivators."

  Lu Xuan felt the surging and deep spiritual power in his body, and was filled with emotion.

  More than a year ago, he was just a small casual cultivator at the second level of Qi training, with ordinary talent, practicing low-level skills, and no spiritual stones to buy elixirs to improve his cultivation. He lived on the outskirts of the mixed market, living in fear every day.

  If he wanted to break through to the high level of Qi training with these, it would take many years, and perhaps he would not be able to achieve it until the end of his life. It is even very likely that he would perish while exploring the secret realm and seeking opportunities, and disappear silently, like the sea without causing any ripples.

  Looking at the many spiritual plants growing vigorously in the spiritual field, he was even more grateful that he had the favor of the white light ball.
