Chapter 34 - Dye this thing green
Lu Xuan put the second-grade sword energy talisman into the storage bag and returned to the house with satisfaction.
The stepping cloud lynx cub stared at the grinning Lu Xuan with its emerald green eyes, moved its ears, and lay on the ground.
Lu Xuan could roughly guess what the lynx cub was thinking without concentrating his mind. He walked up to it and rubbed its hairy head.
"Ouch..."
Another sound of squeezing out.
Unfortunately, the innate conditions were there, and no matter how hard it squeezed, it still revealed a bit of roughness.
Lu Xuan couldn't help laughing, and cut a piece of dried porcupine meat from the kitchen, tore it into small strips, and placed it in front of the lynx cub.
"The rewards from the perfect quality firefly grass are quite good. It seems that I have made the right decision to stick to the path of fine cultivation."
"I just don't know if spiritual plants with grades such as red cloud pine and sword grass can be cultivated to perfect quality. If they can, the rewards will be even more considerable."
"The possibility should be lower than that of firefly grass. After all, the conditions for growing them are more complicated and it is difficult to achieve perfection."
"Do your best."
In the next few days, Lu Xuan stayed at home, cultivating spiritual plants and raising red-bearded carp and blue-eyed cloud-stepping lynx.
The lynx cub still maintained a cold and arrogant appearance in front of Lu Xuan, but the state of mind that was occasionally detected by Lu Xuan revealed its true thoughts.
After four firefly grass matured, as if a chain reaction was triggered, a few days later, another five firefly grass matured.
The quality of this batch was slightly inferior to the first batch. Among the five plants, one was of good quality, three were of superior quality, and only one was of perfect quality.
"Harvest one Lingying grass, and gain nine months of cultivation."
Lu Xuan picked up the white light ball that emerged from the ground, and suddenly, two thoughts flashed through his mind.
A strong spiritual power suddenly emerged from his body and rushed through his body.
He closed his eyes, practiced the skills, and tried to control the spiritual power that suddenly rose in his body.
After the spiritual power calmed down, Lu Xuan opened his eyes, his eyes were full of spirit.
After another year and a half of cultivation, he now felt that his spiritual power had reached the limit of the fourth level of Qi training.
Next, as long as he practiced hard and a few Lingying grass matured, he would be able to successfully break through to the fifth level of Qi training.
"Harvest one Lingying grass, and gain a first-grade evil-repelling talisman."
A talisman that imprisoned evil spirits appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.
Lu Xuan put it into his storage bag and began a new round of talisman accumulation.
"Harvest one Lingying grass, and gain the magic of wood-growing."
The white light ball sank into his mind, and a thought emerged, and Lu Xuan ate an experience pack of the wood-growing technique.
Then, the principles of the Wood-Growing Technique, the process of the technique, the control of spiritual power, etc. flashed by like a flash.
Lu Xuan's understanding and control of this technique became more thorough.
Wood-Growing Technique from entry to mastery.
Lu Xuan came in front of the red cloud pine, circulated his spiritual power, and a spiritual power with a faint green color floated into the slender pine leaves of the red cloud pine.
In an instant, he felt that there was a trace of wood-type spiritual power condensing around the red cloud pine, with vigorous vitality, and integrated into the spiritual plant.
His mind was focused on the red cloud pine. Although it seemed that there was no change on the surface, the immediate state showed that this weak wood-type spiritual power had a certain promoting effect on the red cloud pine.
Lu Xuan tried the Wood Life Technique that he had just received from the experience pack, and then focused his attention on the last white light ball.
This white light ball was brought by the only perfect quality Lingying grass, so Lu Xuan had more expectations for it.
"Harvest one Lingying grass and get one drop of Grass Spiritual Essence Liquid."
A thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.
Then, a drop of emerald green liquid appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.
The liquid was in the shape of a raindrop, half the size of Lu Xuan's thumb, semi-solidified, emerald green, and exuded a strong breath of vitality.
"Grass Spiritual Essence Liquid is condensed and refined by a large amount of grass essence. It contains rich grass spiritual energy. It can be used to feed monsters that consume grass spiritual energy, and can also be used to refine related elixirs and integrate into magic tools, formations, puppets and other related treasures."
"Grass Spiritual Essence Liquid, it sounds good, but how should I use it?"
Lu Xuan held the trembling drop of spiritual liquid in his hand, which could break at any time, and fell into deep thought.
"Got it. Isn't there a ready-made grass puppet? It's made of special dead grass, and it's a treasure of the grass and wood system."
Lu Xuan turned his head and looked at the grass puppet guarding the corner.
This grass puppet was a second-hand item he bought from the casual cultivator market. It was rumored to be from the Qianji Sect, which was famous for its puppets, and had a very simple behavior pattern.
When outsiders or monsters invaded the spiritual field, they would warn Lu Xuan and try to restrain and bind the other party.
When Qin Ming, a cultivator at the middle level of Qi training, came to attack him, the grass puppet also blocked the fatal blow of the spear for Lu Xuan. It can be said that it worked hard and made great contributions.
"Usually I feed you broken spirits, but today I feed you something different."
Lu Xuan walked up to the grass puppet, bent down, and stuffed the grass spirit essence into the huge dead grass tumor on its head.
The originally gray huge grass tumor turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hey, I dyed this thing green for you."
Lu Xuan laughed softly, and when he saw that the grass puppet did not move, he continued to inspect the spiritual plants in the spiritual field.
Half a day later, he came to the corner of the stone wall in the yard again and found that the green on the head of the grass puppet had faded a lot.
After absorbing the drop of grass spirit essence, the grass puppet also underwent considerable changes.
Originally, it had been quietly guarding the corner of the spiritual field. If no foreign objects invaded the spiritual field, it would stay there motionless.
First, it had no active movement ability, and second, it had no intelligence and could only complete a few simple commands.
After digesting the grass spirit essence, Lu Xuan noticed that a trace of low intelligence had been generated, and it turned its head left and right to observe the surrounding situation.
When Lu Xuan gave the order to patrol the spiritual field, the grass puppet seemed to understand and moved slowly on the ground at a very slow speed.
At the same time, the dry gray grass on its body also changed more, becoming more tough, and could instantly shoot out many grass ropes, or it could wrap and condense a thicker and longer rope.
The only thing that remained unchanged was that the reaction speed was still slow. It took a long time after Lu Xuan's order came out before it acted according to the order.
"Now that the spiritual field is larger, your task is more difficult. Remember to inspect the spiritual field when you have nothing to do."
Lu Xuan told the straw puppet earnestly.
The straw puppet was unmoved. Its face, which was made of gray grass on its large and deformed head, stared blankly at Lu Xuan.
When Lu Xuan disappeared in front of it, two faint green lights seemed to flash in the gray grass. Then, the straw puppet stepped out its two thin hay legs, and with a huge green tumor on its gray grass head, it slowly walked in the spiritual field.
