After returning to his cave mansion, two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Lu Xuan mostly stayed inside his cave mansion. Occasionally, he went to the Abyss Star Cave to cultivate those weird spiritual plants or to the Star Plucking Building to buy some necessities for cultivation and restock the shop, among other things.
On this day, as he was cultivating spiritual plants, a familiar, aged voice came from outside his mansion.
“Friend Lu, quickly open the formation! I’ve brought something delicious for you!”
Upon hearing this, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Lu Xuan’s face.
His spiritual sense swept over the area and saw Wood Daoren standing outside the great formation holding a piece of demon beast meat rich in spiritual energy, his expression slightly impatient.
Perhaps having broken through to Core Formation in his twilight years with no hope for the Great Dao, he was already content and no longer focused on cultivating; he often came to sit at Lu Xuan’s cave mansion.
Having come many times, he already knew that Lu Xuan would definitely be inside, so he simply stopped asking and directly asked for the formation to be opened.
“Taoist friend Mu, you’re quite impatient, aren’t you? It’s not very dignified.”
Lu Xuan said aloud, inviting Wood Daoren into the cave mansion.“Who told you to be so cautious? Every time I come here, I must wait for you to open the formation.
Here, handle this piece of demon beast meat.”
The elder with red pupils threw the demon beast meat to Lu Xuan and unceremoniously found a place to sit in the courtyard.
“This visit, besides having a good meal, there’s another great matter; guess what it might be, Friend Lu?”
He said mysteriously.
“I cannot guess; please enlighten me, taoist friend.”
Lu Xuan wasn’t interested in guessing and directly asked.
“Boring.”
Taoist friend Mu muttered, and ten luminous spiritual seeds appeared in his hand.
The shapes of the spiritual seeds were fluctuating, exhibiting various forms of birds and beasts.
“Are these the Thousand Forms Grass spirit seeds?”
A flash of insight crossed Lu Xuan’s mind, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“It is no coincidence that you are famed in the Heavenly Star Cave for your expertise with spiritual plants; you identified these high-grade spirit seeds from the outer domains immediately,” said Wood Daoren with some surprise.
He considered himself widely knowledgeable and familiar with countless treasures of the Cultivation World, but his insight compared to Lu Xuan’s on spiritual plants was hardly worth mentioning.
Even though he was well aware of Lu Xuan’s profound knowledge in spiritual plants, he was still inevitably surprised when Lu Xuan instantly recognized the origin of the spirit seeds.
“Indeed, they are the Thousand Forms Grass spirit seeds. Sent by Senior Instrument Spirit to the branch building in Heavenly Star Cave, I brought them over to you while I was at it,” Wood Daoren said with a serious expression.
“Friend, you hold an extraordinary position with Lord of the Instrument Spirit,”
In his perception, the Treasure Tower Instrument Spirit held a transcendent position within the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce. Even his uncle in the Nascent Soul Realm bowed and listened obediently in front of the Instrument Spirit, not daring to act recklessly.
The thought of getting the Instrument Spirit to collect treasures for him was unimaginable, yet Lu Xuan had managed to do just that.
“Ten Thousand Forms Grass spirit seeds; Senior Instrument Spirit really took great pains,”
Lu Xuan hadn’t expected the Treasure Tower Instrument Spirit to help him collect ten fifth-grade spirit seeds all at once.
“Ten high-grade rare spiritual seeds; when Instrument Spirit says it’ll happen, it happens; where else could you find such strong support?!” he thought to himself with a sense of awe.
Moreover, these ten Thousand Forms Grass spirit seeds were only an advance payment by the Instrument Spirit.
Once Lu Xuan advanced to the late stages of Core Formation, he would receive an incomplete Cave Heaven to cultivate high-rank spiritual plants, not less than of the Seventh Grade.
Thinking about it, Lu Xuan felt overjoyed, not even entirely sure how much he had gained.
Due to the presence of Wood Daoren, he did not rush to plant the Thousand Forms Grass Spirit Plants and entered the back kitchen instead. He divided the Grade 5 Demon Beast Meat into several parts and used different cooking methods to handle them. After a while, he served the delicious dishes in the courtyard.
The two of them enjoyed the Ape Demon Wine and feasted heartily.
After Wood Daoren left, Lu Xuan then found a blank Spirit Field and planted ten Thousand Forms Grass Spirit Seeds within it.
His mind focused upon it.
[Thousand Forms Grass, Five-Quality Spirit Plant, requires the nourishment of Demon Beast souls during the cultivation process. Its growth form is closely related to the Demon Beast souls, and the mature Spirit Plants contain dense demonic power, which is highly attractive to the Monster Tribe and Spirit Beasts. If used regularly for feeding high-rank Spirit Beasts, it can purify their bloodlines to some extent.]
[Shape complements shape!]
“Ten Thousand Forms Grasses, together with the Condense Seed Technique obtained from the previous auction, can be cultivated in bulk,” he said.
“However, the difficulty of condensing Fifth Rank Spirit Seeds is much greater and requires specific conditions,” he thought to himself.
Due to being obtained earlier, many Spirit Beasts in the Cave Abode were of low rank and had limited strength improvements. If they were fed the Thousand Forms Grass over a long period, it was very likely that their bloodlines would be purified and their own ranks broken through.
This would also allow Lu Xuan to receive several Light Cluster rewards.
“You little fellows are in for some good fortune; you’ll get to eat so well,” he thought as his Spiritual Sense swept through the Cave Abode, sensing the presences of Fat Bird and the Cloud Leopard.
After planting the Thousand Forms Grass Spirit Seeds, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the Spirit Fields and check on the many Spiritual Plants.
The hundred or so stems of Ice Firefly Grass by the small lake had entered the mature stage, the semi-transparent progress bar just a hair’s breadth from being full.
The slender blue leaves connected together, the surface glowing intermittently, resembling the vast stars in the night sky.
The surface of the Spirit Soil was covered with a thin layer of frost, and a faint white cold air spiraled up, engulfing into a cloud of mist resembling a shawl.
“Within a month, my Cultivation Level could surge dramatically,” he said.
“All the hard work over these past few years has not been in vain,” he smiled.
Over the past couple of years, the various improved Spiritual Plants had achieved significant results.
The fourth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, after several rounds of induced stimulation, had produced twenty stems.
The Dongxuan Sword Gourd, also fourth grade, had sixteen stems.
The improvement process was tedious, and given the length of time it took, if more of the two types of Spirit Seeds were needed later, it would be better to use the existing Spiritual Plants to condense Spirit Seeds.
The Fifth Grade Pure Yang Golden Lotus and Five-Elements Illusory Fruit were the same.
Due to their higher ranks making them harder to improve, only five Pure Yang Golden Lotuses and four Five-Elements Illusory Fruits were obtained.
The methods for subsequent seed condensation of these Spiritual Plants still required thorough investigation and exploration. Still, with the predecessor’s Condense Seed Technique and Lu Xuan’s ability to grasp the detailed status of Spiritual Plants, the likelihood of developing new Condense Seed Techniques was very high.
After a tour of the ground Spirit Fields, Lu Xuan’s Qing Helved Shoes emitted a faint green glow, and he soared into the sky as if walking on flat ground.
A thousand meters high in the sky, six extraordinary Spirit Fruits caught his eye.
There were no branches or leaves around the Spirit Fruit, which floated in mid-air and rotated slowly. Their surfaces shimmered with starlight, emitting a dazzling luminescence as if resonating with the stars at the edge of the sky.
These were the Fifth Grade Star Fruits, entrusted to Lu Xuan by the Commerce Association for cultivation, totaling six pieces, already nurtured with many thoughts.
Unlike most Spiritual Plants, Star Fruits needed to be planted high in the air and nourished by star ores, absorbing the Star Power to grow.
“They’ve finally matured,” Lu Xuan said, looking at the fully filled semi-transparent progress bar below the Star Fruits.
With a gentle flick of his wrist, a myriad of Star Forces enveloped the dazzling Star Fruits as they slowly drifted towards him.
Sensing the state of the Star Fruits with his mind, he reached into the misty star clouds and picked the Spirit Fruits.
After the Star Fruits were plucked, a White Light Group quietly appeared at their original position.
