Chapter 538 - Nine-Headed Dragon Picture

  After ripening the second-grade water firefly grass, the third-grade jade dew fruit, the fourth-grade filthy cordyceps, and the fifth-grade longevity peaches, Lu Xuan still had five soul-giving grass beads left. In

  the underworld courtyard, the evil spirit plants in the growth stage include the Thousand Dragon Hand, the Blood Spirit Palm, and the Holy Infant Fruit. The Thousand Dragon Hand is the third grade, but because of the special nature of the spirit plants, they need to be ripened uniformly, and the light ball reward from a single plant may not be satisfactory.

  Among the remaining evil spirit plants, the Yin Ku Wood, the Five Organs Treasure Plant, the Evil Yuan Fruit, the Burning Soul Flower, and the Nether Spring Flower were planted not long ago, and some of them have not even taken root and sprouted due to limited conditions. The only soul-giving grass beads cannot fully ripen them.

  Lu Xuan plans to seize the time and go to the Incomplete Secret Realm again to see if he can ripen a fifth-grade dragon skeleton grass.

  He left behind a large amount of monster flesh, bones, and souls as nutrients for the netherworld spiritual plants in the yard for a period of time in the future. Then, he activated the Illusion Five Elements Array to seal the small yard.

  "As long as the sect is still there, no evil cultivators dare to come to Jianmen Town to act recklessly. With the Illusion Five Elements Array, the spiritual plants inside are relatively safe."

  Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's worries disappeared.

  These are all high-grade spiritual plants. If they are transplanted continuously, it will be detrimental to the growth of spiritual plants. At the same time, they all need to grow in a pure spiritual environment, and the growth conditions of each spiritual plant are different.

  They are all evil spiritual plants, and they need flesh and souls at any time. There must be many fellow disciples and other sect cultivators who went out together. It would be difficult to explain if they were discovered.

  Lu Xuan had to put them in the netherworld courtyard and let them grow freely.

  He left Jianmen Town, restored his original appearance in a remote mountain range, and returned to the sect.

  After resting for half a day, he came to the sect's array hall, handed in more than ten medium-grade spiritual stones, and used the array hall to teleport to the incomplete secret realm.

  It had not been long since the last time he entered the secret realm, and the secret realm had not changed much, with no new fully mature spiritual plants.

  Lu Xuan had expected this, and after checking the spiritual plants in the incomplete secret realm and taking good care of each spiritual plant, he came to the bottomless spring that seemed to be connected to the void.

  The cold spring water continued to gush out, and a cloud of extremely cold air condensed in the sky, as if it was going to penetrate into the bone marrow.

  The spring water was the third-grade Youquan Linglin, and the three fifth-grade dragon skeleton grasses that were accidentally obtained from the bottom of Qianlong Lake were all kept in the spring.

  Under Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness, three slender black grasses that looked like swimming dragons extended from the three huge dragon skeletons, swimming happily in the cold spring water.

  He locked his mind on one of them, and the light green light ball in his dantian rotated faster and faster, and a large amount of green wood source energy poured into the dragon skeleton grass plant.

  "Ang~"

  As more and more Qingmu source energy was injected, Lu Xuan vaguely saw tiny scales like dust appearing on the surface of the dragon skeleton grass, densely packed together, and exuding a breath similar to that of a real dragon from the plant.

  The passionate dragon roar sounded, and the slender black grass soared into the sky, flying out from the depths of the spring, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it was flying in the clouds.

  Lu Xuan's palm turned into a crystal jade color, and he grabbed the dragon skeleton grass that seemed to have undergone the dragon transformation stage.

  Although the dragon skeleton grass was not as thick as his fingers, it was very strong. It kept twisting in his hands, trying to break free.

  With Lu Xuan's physical strength, he had to use most of his strength to firmly grasp the dragon skeleton grass.

  His mind was focused on the slender black grass that was somewhat similar to a real dragon, and in an instant, a thought emerged from his mind.

  [Dragon skeleton grass, a fifth-grade spiritual plant, the spiritual seed is condensed from the essence of the real dragon skeleton. During the growth process, it needs the skeleton of a dragon and the third-grade and above spiritual liquid to nourish and cultivate. ]

  [The mature spiritual plant can be used to assist cultivators in breaking through certain True Dragon-related techniques, and can also be used to raise Jiaolong monsters to increase their chances of breaking through to the fifth rank.]

  "I have practiced a True Dragon-related technique called "Taixu Hualong Pian", but the lower part has never been released, so I have no chance to use this Dragon Skeleton Grass."

  "However, when the Lihuo Jiao in the cave reaches the breakthrough point, I can feed it to increase its chances of breaking through to the fifth rank monster."   

  Lu Xuan thought to himself, and then his sight was attracted by a white light ball quietly emerging on the surface of the spring.

  The light ball flickered slightly, condensing in the spring water without dispersing, like a silvery white full moon falling into the spring.

  Lu Xuan reached out and gently touched the surface of the light ball, and the light ball shattered silently. Countless tiny light spots floated on the surface of the spring, and the water was sparkling and dazzling.

  Then, the light spots condensed into a phantom of a dragon, and with a faint dragon roar, it poured into Lu Xuan's body.

  A thought emerged from his mind.

  [Harvest a fifth-grade dragon skeleton grass and obtain the fifth-grade treasure Nine-Head Dragon Map. ]

  The thought flashed through his mind, and an ancient mottled drawing appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

  There were mountains and rivers in the drawing, and a huge dragon with nine heads was hidden in it. The dragon's figure was lifelike and jumped on the paper. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be swimming slowly in the ancient map.

  Lu Xuan's mind was focused on this ancient mottled drawing, and suddenly, the information about the drawing appeared in his mind.

  [Nine-headed dragon map, a fifth-grade treasure, contains the spirit of a nine-headed dragon. If you have the dragon map, you can control the dragon spirit and release it to fight the enemy, or use it to refine magic weapons.]

  "Nine-headed dragon map, a fifth-grade treasure, is not bad. After all, we can't expect a sixth-grade treasure to bloom in the light ball of every fifth-grade spiritual plant."

  Lu Xuan sighed without any change in his expression.

  He injected spiritual power into the ancient map, and suddenly, the spiritual power in the dantian rushed into the ancient map like a dam.

  The phantom of the dragon inside became more and more real, and an excited dragon roar sounded. A ferocious nine-headed dragon emerged from it, and the nine heads looked around, majestic and awe-inspiring.

  "Everything else is good, but the spiritual power consumed is too much. Summon the nine-headed dragon and use up half of the spiritual power in the dantian."

  Lu Xuan experimented a little, and the nine-headed dragon phantom was as easy to control as his arm. Finally, with a thought, he returned to the mottled ancient map.

  "The Soul-Gathering Grass Beads I have accumulated for a long time are almost all used up. Poor Grass Puppet, the reward will be delayed."

  "However, using so many Soul-Gathering Grass Beads, ripening a large number of spiritual plants, overdrawing the light ball rewards inside, the harvest is full, and finally I am not disappointed."

  Lu Xuan's mouth showed a smile.

  In order to cope with the upcoming crisis, he ripened a lot of spiritual plants that have entered the mature stage. The light ball rewards are extremely generous, which makes him have more trump cards.

  "The fifth-grade flying sword Peacock King Sword, the fifth-grade magic weapon Wanhui Banner, and the fifth-grade treasure Nine-Headed Dragon Picture can all directly improve combat power."

  "The sixth-grade treasure Tai Sui Meat has improved my physical strength and self-healing ability, and has doubled defense and treatment."

  "There are also a lot of cultivation rewards, as well as Dichen Pills, Qingwei Jade Locks, etc."

  "With the various high-grade treasures accumulated before, it can be regarded as a little more self-protection power in this chaotic world."

  He thought secretly in his heart, without any arrogant thoughts because of the various treasures he had.
