Chapter 343 - Spirit Seed Purchase

  After cultivating the fifth-grade dragon skeleton grass spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan returned to the shore. In

  the spiritual fields, most of the spiritual plants currently planted are of high grade and few in number, leaving large areas of empty space.

  He found a spiritual field and performed the earth-drawing technique. The structure of the spiritual soil changed slightly, and he placed more than 200 water firefly grass spiritual seeds in it.

  Threads of spiritual rain seeped into the spiritual soil, nourishing the slender light blue spiritual seeds.

  Afterwards, he transplanted the third-grade wind and thunder sword grass, starlight sword grass, and fourth-grade sword thousand owl that were previously planted on the island into the spiritual field.

  "It's time to go to the General Affairs Hall to hand over this garrison mission."

  He thought secretly in his heart.

  However, before going to the General Affairs Hall, he decided to conceal his cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building.

  It was really that the speed of cultivation improvement was a bit too fast.

  From being promoted to the foundation building realm, becoming an inner sect disciple, and then to the middle stage of foundation building, it took less than ten years in total.

  Such a speed of advancement, even for the most gifted true disciples in the sect, can be called shocking and eye-catching.

  It is common for ordinary inner disciples to fail to break through for decades.

  If he showed his true cultivation in front of his fellow disciples, it would be difficult for him to explain why he cultivated so fast, and it might even cause some unnecessary trouble.

  Previously, he had used the Breath-Retaining Technique from the light ball, and he also had the Hidden Spirit Cloak to restrain his breath. Unless someone deliberately spied on him, it should be difficult to detect his true cultivation.

  Lu Xuan came to the foot of the mountain and summoned a tall and elegant spiritual crane to fly towards the mountain where the General Affairs Hall was located.

  After a while, he entered a spacious hall and found the middle-aged cultivator named Huang who had assigned him the garrison mission.

  "Brother Huang, I have completed the three-year garrison mission on Kongming Island and just returned from that sea area."

  Lu Xuan smiled and said to the middle-aged cultivator.

  "It turns out to be Brother Lu. How do you feel after staying on Kongming Island for three years? Have you encountered any danger?"

  The middle-aged cultivator had some impression of Lu Xuan.

  "Except for being a little desolate, there is no other feeling. However, the customs and habits on the island are obviously different from those on the sect."

  "As for danger, I rarely leave the island, so it is difficult to encounter such situations."

  Lu Xuan said gently.

  He handed his inner disciple identity badge to the middle-aged monk and let the monk confirm the mission information.

  "Okay, you have worked hard for the past three years."

  "As for the mission reward, it was previously agreed that you will stay on Kongming Island for three years, and you will be subsidized with 320 sword seals every year, a total of 960 sword seals in three years. Please keep them."

  "Thank you, Senior Brother Huang."

  Lu Xuan smiled after collecting nearly a thousand sword seals.

  He exchanged a few words with the middle-aged monk surnamed Huang about his experiences on Kongming Island, and then said goodbye to him.

  "It would be unreasonable not to spend some of the sword seals I have received."

  His desire to spend was stirring in his heart.

  As an inner disciple and a member of the Sword Hall, he could get a certain amount of sword seal subsidies every month. With the large amount just now, he already had no less than 3,000 sword seals in his hands.

  "I can go shopping in Sinong Hall."

  Lu Xuan thought to himself, and ordered the spirit crane to carry him to Sinong Hall.

  "Uncle Lu, here!"

  Xia Chen, who had just entered the hall and had a weathered face, greeted from afar.

  Seeing an old acquaintance, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel cordial and came to the position of the old farmer.

  "Uncle Lu, you haven't come to Sinong Hall to buy spiritual seeds for a long time."

  Xia Chen greeted warmly.   

  "I received a garrison mission for a sect some time ago, and I have been away for a few years."

  Lu Xuan said simply.

  "I would like to trouble Brother Xia to take out the jade book of spiritual seeds. I came here this time to pick some high-grade spiritual seeds."

  After the three fourth-grade spiritual plants, the Earth Fire Heart Lotus, the Black Insect Vine, and the Hundred Eyes Strange Wood in the courtyard matured one after another, the spiritual field currently has the Soul-Enriching Pine, the Five Elements Fruit that was planted instead, the fourth-grade Magic Sound Bamboo, and the Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng that was just cultivated not long ago. Lu Xuan decided to add some more. The

  light balls that bloom from third-grade spiritual plants are mainly third-grade and fourth-grade treasures. Lu Xuan is currently in the middle stage of foundation building. If he plants now, it will mature in a few years, and the rewards that bloom will gradually become useless.

  Therefore, Lu Xuan plans to slowly shift his focus to fourth-grade spiritual plants.

  For third-grade spiritual plants, unless it is a similar variety such as the Sword-raising Gourd that can bloom a fourth-grade sword talisman or the Cangyuan Grass in the foundation building pill recipe, plant as few as possible.

  "Uncle Lu, please take a look."

  The old farmer monk presented a thick jade book with both hands and said respectfully.

  The jade book has simulation patterns of relevant spiritual plants and simple information. If the pattern is lit, it means that the corresponding spiritual seeds can be provided immediately. If it is dim, it means that an appointment is required and a waiting period is required.

  The higher the spiritual seed variety, the more difficult it is to mass produce.

  There are about fifty kinds of third-grade spiritual plants recorded in the jade book, and only about twenty kinds of fourth-grade spiritual plants.

  There is not a single fifth-grade plant.

  "Fellow Daoist Xia, I have always had a question, please help me solve it."

  "I didn't see any fifth-grade spiritual plants in the jade book. Does it mean that the Sinong Hall cannot provide fifth-grade spiritual seeds?"

  "Uncle Lu, fifth-grade spiritual plants are already in the realm of forming pills. Each one is extremely rare and precious. The methods of condensing spiritual seeds are also strange and bizarre. Only by chance can you get one or two."

  "With the power of the sect, it is impossible to mass produce fifth-grade spiritual seeds."

  "If you need it, you can communicate with other true disciples in the sect to see if you can get it from them."

  Xia Chen suppressed his surprise and a trace of apology appeared on his face.

  He didn't expect that Lu Xuan actually had the ability to cultivate fifth-grade spiritual plants.

  He recalled the scene where Lu Xuan bought different spiritual seeds from him.

  The boy who bought the second-grade spiritual plant with great care had grown to this level in just over ten years!

  "Is it too late for me to concentrate on being a spiritual plant master now?"

  He couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

  "I see, thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Xia."

  Lu Xuan nodded gently.

  "If you don't have fifth-grade spiritual seeds, then buy some fourth-grade ones first."

  He flipped through the jade book while pointing to the fourth-grade spiritual plant pattern in a bright state.

  "Give me two Earth Fire Heart Lotus spiritual seeds and one Black Insect Vine

  spiritual seed." Lu Xuan first selected two spiritual seeds that he had cultivated.

  "And this Mayfly Grass spiritual seed, I haven't seen it light up several times before, give me one to try."

  "In addition, give me twenty of each of the second-grade Flame Fruit spiritual seeds and Ice Rose Fruit spiritual seeds."

  "These are for now."

  Lu Xuan said lightly, as if the fourth-grade spiritual seeds were nothing to him.

  "Yes, yes, yes!"

  The old farmer monk nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, holding a large order, and hurried into the inner hall.

  Providing three different types of fourth-grade spirit seeds at once was not something that a Qi training monk like him could decide.
