Chapter 150 - The Joy of Freeloading

  "Third-grade Golden Marrow Jade Liquid!"

  Lu Xuan looked at the golden and glittering viscous liquid in his hand, feeling happy.

  He did not hesitate and directly put the drop of Golden Marrow Jade Liquid into his mouth.

  As soon as the Golden Marrow Jade Liquid entered his stomach, Lu Xuan immediately felt a warmth flowing through his limbs and bones, penetrating into the surface of his bones, forming a thin film that wrapped around his bones.

  A faint tingling sensation came from all over his body, as if countless hairs were gently sweeping across the surface of his bones.

  The tingling sensation slowly faded, and the outer layer of film was completely absorbed by the bones. Lu Xuan felt that his bone strength had increased a lot.

  After obtaining the "Glass Bone Tempering Method", the practice of the Qi training stage has made great progress due to the absorption of several experience packs. As for the lower part of the foundation-building stage, Lu Xuan has not yet practiced well.

  Under the effect of the "Glass Bone Tempering Method", his bones are like white jade glass, and their hardness is better than many first-grade and second-grade magic tools.

  Now with this drop of Golden Marrow Jade Liquid, the bone strength has been further improved. Lu Xuan estimates that it is no weaker than most second-grade magic tools.

  With concentrated perception, he could also feel the golden marrow and jade liquid evenly distributed in every part of the bones, slowly warming and nourishing them, and the bones were warm.

  Lu Xuan was satisfied and checked the other four copper-bone bamboos. The progress bars below were almost full. Considering that early harvesting might affect the quality of the copper-bone bamboos, he planned to wait a few more days. As for the

  mature copper-bone bamboo, he put it directly into the storage bag to see if he could find an opportunity to sell it.

  Lu Xuan continued to inspect the spiritual field, understand the growth status of each spiritual plant, and meet their subtle needs one by one.

  "It's time to find a new spiritual plant."

  He looked at the spiritual field and thought to himself.

  The second-grade Qingmiao spiritual tea and copper-bone bamboo matured one after another, and the third-grade Huanyan Luo fruit and Jiao vine also entered the mature stage. The number of spiritual plant varieties in the spiritual field suddenly decreased by several species. Lu Xuan decided to go to the Sinong Hall to buy another high-grade spiritual seed.

  The next day, he got up early in the morning and carefully cultivated all the spiritual plants in the spiritual field. He opened the mist-hidden maze, and the thick white fog spread rapidly, covering the cave.

  Lu Xuan came to the foot of the mountain. Not far away, there were three spiritual cranes waiting for the monks who needed them.

  The moment they saw Lu Xuan, the three spiritual cranes chirped happily at the same time, flapped their wings quickly, and came to Lu Xuan.

  "Hey, don't push, don't push!"

  Lu Xuan looked at the three spiritual cranes huddled together and said hurriedly.

  If he didn't know that he had just helped the entire spiritual crane tribe solve a big problem, he would have thought that the three spiritual cranes were competing with each other to attract customers.

  Under his persuasion, the three spiritual cranes calmed down, and their black and white eyes looked at Lu Xuan with burning eyes, as if they were afraid that he would not choose them.

  "It's you."

  Lu Xuan closed his eyes and pointed at a spiritual crane casually, saying.

  The spiritual crane he pointed at raised its little head high, looking contented.

  Seeing that the two spiritual cranes next to him seemed a little sad, Lu Xuan said a few words to comfort them, and jumped onto the back of the spiritual crane that had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

  "Go to the Sinong Temple."

  In less than half a minute, the spiritual crane landed on a flat ground next to the Sinong Temple.

  Lu Xuan took out a spiritual stone from the storage bag and gave it to the spiritual crane.

  The spiritual crane shook its slender neck and chirped crisply to express its refusal.

  "Take it quickly. This is the travel fee. I can't let you send me off for nothing."

  Lu Xuan put the spiritual stone into a cloth bag under the neck of the spiritual crane and turned away.

  "Crack!"

  The spiritual crane rushed over, flapped its white wings at Lu Xuan, and held the spiritual stone in its mouth, chirping.

  Lu Xuan changed direction, and the spiritual crane followed closely behind him, as if it would not give up until it took the spiritual stone.

  "Well, thank you for your kindness."   

  Seeing the resolute attitude of the spirit crane, Lu Xuan had no choice but to take the spirit stone from its mouth.

  The spirit crane chirped crisply, said goodbye to Lu Xuan, soared into the sky, and soon disappeared.

  "I didn't expect that this time I could ride the spirit crane for free, saving a spirit stone."

  Lu Xuan felt the joy of getting something for free, and walked towards the gate of the Sinong Hall in a happy mood.

  Behind him, a young monk got off the spirit crane. Seeing this scene, he wanted to pay the spirit stone in his hand to the spirit crane, but then he retracted it.

  "Could it be that the Beast Taming Hall is kind and doesn't charge spirit stones for riding spirit cranes?"

  He followed suit and walked directly towards the Sinong Hall.

  Suddenly, there was a pain in his back. The young monk turned around and saw that the spirit crane he had just ridden was staring at him fiercely.

  When the young monk turned around, the spirit crane's long beak directly pecked away the spirit stone in his hand, and gave him an extremely disdainful look before leaving.

  "We are both outer disciples, both riding spirit cranes, why is there such a big difference?"

  The young monk was stunned in place, his eyes full of confusion.

  "Junior Brother Lu, you're here? I haven't seen you in Sinong Hall for a while."

  As soon as Lu Xuan entered the hall, the old farmer monk came out and greeted him with a smile.

  "Hello, Senior Brother."

  "How are the two sword grasses being cultivated by Junior Brother Lu? Is it going smoothly?"

  The old farmer monk nodded and asked curiously .

  "It's growing well at the moment, and there are no problems."

  Lu Xuan answered truthfully.

  "That's good, Uncle Shen has great expectations for the two sword grasses you cultivated!"

  The old farmer monk smiled and continued.

  "Junior Brother Lu, are you here to find another spiritual seed this time?"

  "Yes, please recommend one to me, preferably a spiritual seed of the third grade or above."

  Lu Xuan said softly.

  The rewards brought by the first-grade spiritual plants are already useless to him. As for the second-grade spiritual plants, there are still several species cultivated in the cave. If he grows new varieties, according to the normal growth progress, he may have broken through to the foundation-building stage.

  By that time, the rewards from mature second-grade spiritual plants may not be so valuable.

  Therefore, in addition to the firefly grass, Lu Xuan decided to reduce the planting of low-grade spiritual plants and try to focus on the third grade.

  "It seems that I still underestimated Junior Brother Lu's attainments in spiritual plants. He is indeed a spiritual plant master who can cultivate sword grass independently."

  The old farmer sighed. Lu Xuan exchanged a third-grade sword-cultivating gourd spiritual seed from the Sinong Hall last time. Not long after, he planned to change to a new third-grade spiritual plant.

  It seems that the cultivation of third-grade spiritual plants is nothing to him.

  "Junior Brother Lu, these two jade books record most of the third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual plants in the sect. Except for some unique categories of the sect, the rest of the spiritual plants are included in it. You can choose them yourself."

  He handed Lu Xuan two layers of jade books and said gently.

  Lu Xuan nodded and slowly flipped through the jade books.

  With each page, a three-dimensional pattern of spiritual plants would appear on the jade book, which was lifelike.

  There is also some simple information about the types, grades, and uses of spiritual plants in the lower right corner.
