“Three mature red cloud pine nuts produced three different second-class Fire Separating Swords, a ‘Fundamentals of Rune Making¹, and a second-grade Red Threaded Needle.”

“The sword grass and dark marrow mushroom were both second grade. Unlike the common red cloud pine, the glowing rewards that came when they matured would definitely not disappoint me.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Over the next two or three days, he activated the Hidden Fog Maze Array, carefully observing the instantaneous states of the many spirit plants everyday to ensure that there were no invasions from the Gnawing Spirit Bugs. The remaining twenty-six Spirit Glow Grasses all matured in these few days. Among them, nine were of good quality, thirteen were of superior grade, and the remaining four were of perfect grade.

After the Spirit Firefly Grass was harvested, twenty-six white light clusters appeared.

Six of them were cultivation rewards, three of them worth a half year’s cultivation, two worth nine months, and one worth a year, bringing a total of four years of cultivation benefits to Lu Xuan.

The spiritual energy within his meridians and dantian surged tumultuously, battering like a furious tide for a long time before gradually calming down. The sudden increase of four years of cultivation significantly advanced Lu Xuan’s strength, leaving him not far from the Qi Cultivating Seventh Layer. There were also twelve white light clusters that produced twelve first-grade talismans, primarily Sword Qi Talismans and Evil Banishing Talismans, mixed with a few Explosion Flame Talismans and others.

The number of first-grade talismans accumulating in his storage bag was increasing. If used all at once, Lu Xuan speculated that it would compare to a full strength attack from a high-tier Qi Cultivator.

In addition, there were four first-grade Qi Cultivation Pills, and two technique experience packages, the Earth Pulling Technique and Tree Life Spell.

Lu Xuan absorbed them, slightly enhancing his understanding of these two methods.

The last two white light clusters produced a first-grade Qi Cultivation Pill formula and a drop of Grass Spirit Elixir.

Lu Xuan poured it into the grass puppet’s head.

“Let’s celebrate your full recovery. You still need to continue taking good care of the Spirit Field-”

Soon, the gray lump on the grass puppet’s head quickly turned green, and it began a new round of patrolling the Spirit Field.

With the power provided by the Grass Spirit Elixir, Lu Xuan noticed that its steps seemed to be stronger.

After a few days, the snake type demonic beasts blood that was pre-ordered from the Wanbao Building arrived as promised.

Lu Xuan spent another four spirit stones, on top of the three spirit stone deposit he’d already paid, to get a bottle of snake blood from the Wanbao Building.

According to the clear and beautiful girl who introduced it, this bottle of snake blood was freshly extracted not long ago, and it was still quite fresh. The blood was taken from a type of demon beast called the Twin Wing Gold Scale Snake, which was first-grade.

The blood was held in a transparent jade bottle. The fine golden glow in the bright red blood was like the sunset reflected in a sea of blood.

Holding the transparent jade bottle, Lu Xuan came to the Flood Dragon Vine.

He opened the cap and poured the glittering blood onto the vine.

Suddenly, the vine seemed to come alive instantly, gently twisting like a snake.

The golden blood slowly seeped into the interior of the vine.

After all the blood was absorbed, Lu Xuan saw that the vine’s surface had golden lines. It formed bizarre patterns on the black vine.

Lu Xuan’s attention was wholly focused on the Flood Dragon Vine.

“After waiting so long, today has finally arrived!”

“For the first time, it has tasted more delicious and invigorating snake blood!” The vine with gold lines still slowly wriggled, seemingly still immersed in the joy after absorbing the Double Winged Golden Scale Snake’s blood.

About half an hour later, the golden lines on the vine’s surface disappeared slowly, returning to its original old and gnarled form.

“Last time when it absorbed the black line snake’s rankless blood, there were no changes. This time, after absorbing the Twin Winged Golden Scale Snake’s blood, the vine showed golden lines. Could it be that the advancement of the snake’s blood quality affects the different growth status of the vine?” Lu Xuan noted down a little bit. He inspected whether he could get a large amount of this kind of snake’s blood from the Wanbao Building. If possible, constantly irrigating the vine with blood from the same type of demonic beast might make the vine grow faster.

He went around and checked all the spirit plants in the Spirit Field, applied the right methods to each according to their unique needs, told the Grass Puppet and Cloud Leopard to guard the house well, activated the Hidden Fog Maze Array, and then took the total of thirty-nine spirit firefly grasses and left the yard.

All one hundred plants of Spirit Firefly Grass were fully matured, and he planned to go back to the ‘Bai Cao Tang’ to pick up some more Spirit Firefly Grass Seeds, to start a new round of planting.

Though the Spirit Firefly Grass, be it in value or reward from the light cluster, isn’t much when compared to other first and second-grade spirit plants.

However, so far, he had only discovered that the Spirit Firefly Grass carried a cultivation reward, so he had to maintain a certain quantity of the plant in order to ensure the improvement of his cultivation level.

Volume was covered by Firefly Grass, quality and quantity balance was taken care of by Blood Jade Ginseng and Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea, while Sword Grass, Dark Marrow Mushroom, and Phantom Smoke Fruit acquired from the Unknown Spirit Seeds guaranteed quality. Three sectors, quality, and quantity both covered.

Just as Lu Xuan left his house, he noticed the cultivator with the surname Wu in the neighborhood not too far away.

After seeing Lu Xuan, he greeted him right away.

“Friend Lu, where are you off to? Come to have a taste of the spiritual wine I’ve recently brewed.”

Unable to refuse his kindness, Lu Xuan headed towards the house of the cultivator surnamed Wu.

“Friend Lu, come try out my spiritual wine.”

As soon as they sat down, the cultivator surnamed Wu poured a cup of deep yellow spirit brew each for himself and Lu Xuan.

“I noticed, Friend Lu, that there’s a second-grade defensive formation outside your yard these past few days. You really are willing to make an investment huh.”

Lu Xuan took the brew from his hand and had a sip. The taste was rich and lingering.

“Such good wine!”

He praised then put down his wine cup.

“Daoist Wu must know well that the market is getting more and more dangerous these days, with quite a few metamorphosis cultivators appearing and even penetrating into the market patrol guard Wang Shan in the neighborhood.”

“On top of that, I once witnessed a cultivator invading the spirit field a while ago and as all my wealth lies in the spirit plants within the field, it’s a must for me to make a hard-hitting investment in order to keep this base foundation.” Lu Xuan casually brushed the topic off.

The cultivator surnamed Wu nodded in agreement.

“Indeed. There’s nothing wrong being careful.”

“Come, let’s continue drinking. This spiritual wine was brewed using the gallbladder and bones of snake-type demonic beasts. It’s rarity makes it difficult to find on regular days.”

“Is that so?”

Just as Lu Xuan had picked up his wine cup, his action paused abruptly.

“Wine brewed using snake bone and gallbladder, doesn’t it require a large quantity of snake-type demonic beasts? Where do those snake gallbladders and bones come from?”

Upon this thought, Lu Xuan directly asked Wu.

“Daoist Wu, I would like to consult something with you, would you tell me where did you get these snake bones and gallbladders from? Was it from Wanbao Building, other shops or the loose cultivator market?”

“None of the above.”

The cultivator, Wu, shook his head.

“It’s hard to gather a substantial quantity of the same species of snake-type demonic beasts in the loose cultivation market, and those in Wanbao Building are a bit expensive and not very cost-effective.”

“All these are obtained from a friend of mine.”

“A friend?” A glint appeared in Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“Yes, a friend who I have known for many years. His family has inherited a secret technique that shows extraordinary prowess in discovering and capturing snake demons.”

“He is currently in the sixth layer of Qi cultivation. With this secret technique, he can even kill the second-grade snake-type demonic beasts.”

“Could you introduce him to me? I am in urgent need of a certain material from the bodies of snake-type demonic beasts.”

“Sure.”

The cultivator, Wu, immediately replied..
