Chapter 149 - Golden Marrow Jade Liquid
"Senior Crane, please stop at a mountain ahead."
Lu Xuan saw that the Crane King was about to fly over his cave. After several considerations, a few short sentences kept coming to his throat, and he quickly swallowed them. Finally, he mustered up the courage and said carefully.
The tall spiritual crane chirped crisply and landed on an open space on the mountainside.
Lu Xuan got off the back of the spiritual crane, clasped his fists and saluted:
"Thank you, Senior Crane, for sending me home all the way. I wonder if you are willing to go to my cave and sit for a while."
The tall spiritual crane shook its head lightly, chirped, and flew away.
"Hey, my feet are numb."
When the figure of the spiritual crane disappeared, Lu Xuan felt a numbness in his legs as soon as he took a step.
Although the back of the Crane King is more comfortable than that of an ordinary spiritual crane, the speed is self-evident, and it returned to the cave in a short moment.
But the strength of the third level brought too much pressure. Lu Xuan stayed on the back, motionless, with his feet in an awkward position throughout the whole process, but he did not dare to move at all.
"Heh, what a third-grade spirit beast, I'm still riding it."
Lu Xuan sneered and consoled himself.
He took a few steps, and the numbness in his feet subsided a little. He
came to the front of the cave, opened the mist-hidden maze, and the thick white fog surrounding the entire cave quietly dissipated.
Lu Xuan opened the door and roared inside.
"Little guys, I'm back!"
Before he finished speaking, the fat body of the young wind falcon fell on his head with the momentum of a mountain.
A black shadow flashed by, and the cloud-stepping lynx lay quietly on the ground, staring at Lu Xuan with green eyes indifferently.
"You guy, you're fat again! If you keep getting fat like this, I'll go find a little spirit crane to raise."
Lu Xuan felt the increasingly obvious weight on his head, grabbed the ankle of the wind falcon, and threw it on the ground.
"Chirp!"
The young wind falcon circulated around Lu Xuan flexibly, flying around like a ball, chirping non-stop, as if telling Lu Xuan -
I'm fat, but I'm very sensitive.
Lu Xuan ignored him, came to the front of the Cloud-Taking Lynx, and pulled the gray and white fur on the tip of its ear.
"Ah~~" The arrogant Cloud-Taking Lynx couldn't help but let out a seven-point roar under Lu Xuan's touch.
"Go away."
Lu Xuan's tenderness, which was not much, disappeared under this rough roar. He pretended to kick the lynx away and returned to his room.
This time, he stayed in the water for nearly twenty days to solve the problem of the birth of the spiritual crane. During this period, he would go to Qianlong Lake every day to check the growth of the dragon python, and occasionally take time to come back to take care of the spiritual plants and animals in the cave.
In the twenty days, he harvested a lot.
When Xu Yi left, he gave him two hundred sword seals as a reward!
Lu Xuan placed the two hundred small swords on the table, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
He has completed several sect tasks, but this is the first time he has received so many sword seals as rewards.
If it were spirit stones, two hundred sword seals would be worth no less than one thousand spirit stones, and that was when there was no market for them.
The reason for such a generous reward was mainly because the problem of the reproduction of spirit cranes had reached a very serious level, and Lu Xuan had improved the reproduction rate of the entire spirit crane population from a macro perspective, and also proposed suggestions on improving the way spirit cranes were transported.
Of course, it was also closely related to the fact that the Beast Taming Hall was a well-known dog owner in the Tianjian Sect. There was no other way, they didn't have much of anything but spirit stones.
Adding the remaining thirty-two sword seals, the twenty obtained from taking care of the dragon, and the forty obtained from the water spirit peaches, Lu Xuan now had two hundred and ninety-two sword seals in his hands, and his wealth was unprecedentedly strong.
"I can exchange for high-grade spirit seeds again."
Lu Xuan thought happily.
He put all the sword seals into the storage bag and came to the spiritual field.
In the spiritual field, the spiritual plants are growing quite well.
After being planted for nearly two months, the firefly grass has entered a rapid growth stage. On the slender green leaves, countless fluorescent lights are dotted on them. Upon closer inspection, they look like stars in the sky.
"When this batch of firefly grass matures, we can harvest a lot of cultivation rewards."
Lu Xuan thought to himself and continued to check the other spiritual plants.
The newly planted sword grass, sword-raising gourd, ice radish fruit, etc. have all undergone significant changes.
The two sword grasses are growing at a similar pace, both more than half a foot long, like a gray-black small sword, standing upright, pointing to the sky.
The sword mark in the middle is larger in width and length than at the beginning, which shows that the sword grass is growing well.
The vines spreading from the sword-raising gourd are getting more and more, getting longer and longer, shuttling through the many flying sword racks below, with tender green leaves, trembling gently in the wind.
The third-grade phantom smoke fruit and third-grade dragon vine, which have been planted for quite some time, are beginning to mature.
Lu Xuan used the Spirit Rain Technique and Wood Growth Technique on many spiritual plants one by one, and met every subtle requirement of them according to the immediate status.
When he came near the copper-bone bamboo, Lu Xuan concentrated his mind and found that the progress bar under a copper-bone bamboo had been filled.
"It's finally mature."
Lu Xuan took out the Silver Blade, and a thin blade fragment flew out, circling rapidly and cutting towards the root of the copper-bone bamboo.
With a ding, the thin fragment fell to the ground, leaving only a shallow mark on the root of the copper-bone bamboo.
"It's worthy of being a second-grade copper-bone bamboo known for its hardness."
Lu Xuan sighed, and the Silver Blade suddenly turned into more than 20 fragments, which fell on the shallow marks left by his former teammates
one by one. The mark gradually deepened, and finally, the bottom of this mature copper-bone bamboo was split into two.
"Good quality copper-bone bamboo, not bad."
Lu Xuan sighed, holding most of the copper-bone bamboo in his hand.
The copper-bone bamboo is more than half a foot long, red in color, and the bamboo joints are deeply prominent. You can clearly feel that the bamboo body is as hard as iron.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Bronze Bone Bamboo, a second-grade spiritual plant, has both hardness and toughness when mature. It is an excellent material for refining flying swords and magical instruments, and can also be used to refine certain special elixirs. ]
At the cross section of the copper bone bamboo, a white light ball flickered slightly, as if attracting Lu Xuan to pick it up.
"Hehe, it's time to open the light ball again."
Lu Xuan smiled softly and gently touched the surface of the light ball.
Suddenly, the light ball turned into countless light points, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, and quickly poured into his body.
A thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.
Then, a drop of semi-solidified liquid appeared in his palm.
The liquid was the size of a fingertip, condensed in his hand without dispersing, golden and dazzling, and spiritual light emerged from the surface from time to time.
Lu Xuan's mind was focused on the golden liquid and soon learned detailed information about it.
[Golden Marrow Jade Liquid, a third-grade treasure, the third-grade spiritual ore golden marrow jade condensed into a drop of golden marrow jade liquid after a hundred years. After taking it, it can quickly improve the hardness and toughness of the bones of the cultivator's whole body. ]
[After the short-term effect, the remaining golden marrow jade liquid spiritual energy left in the body can continue to affect the cultivator's body and slowly improve the cultivator's physique. ]
