You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 1287 The Method of Refining Pots with the Taiqing True Thunder Tree
"This is?"

Lu Xuan felt a slight tremor in his heart as he sensed the boundless vitality emanating from the spiritual seed before him.

"I don't know exactly what kind it is, but I do know that it is a ninth-grade species. It is an extremely rare species in the cave heaven that is related to my Thunder Rhinoceros clan."

"The spirit seed was born from endless divine thunder. When it is cultivated, it should be closely related to various kinds of spirit thunder and divine thunder. After you plant it, you should study it more on your own."

"Yes, senior."

"Thank you so much, senior, for risking your life and going through all the trouble to find such a precious spiritual seed for me."

Lu Xuan straightened his expression and bowed deeply in gratitude.

"Let's not play these games between us."

The Azure Thunder Rhinoceros snorted, and thunderclouds rolled in.

"You gave me several Tortoise and Crane Essence Pills, allowing me to live for several hundred more years. It would be a bit unreasonable if I didn't find you a rare spiritual seed."

"Alright, this trip has taken its toll, I need to rest now, I won't see you off any further."

The Azure Horned Thunder Rhino called out to Lu Xuan, then transformed into a streak of azure lightning, instantly appearing more than ten miles away. Before it even landed, thunderous snores could be heard.

Lu Xuan watched them leave, his gaze falling on the spirit seed in his hand.

A faint blue light flowed inside and outside the spirit seed. The blue light seemed calm and peaceful, but when the divine sense probed it, it could be sensed that it contained terrifying power. On the surface, one could vaguely see fine lines. Upon closer inspection, one would find that they were actually strands of spiritual lightning as thin as hair.

"The strange occurrences of demons and monsters have little to do with me, a spirit plant master. The most important thing right now is to figure out the origin and cultivation method of this spirit seed."

Lu Xuan chuckled inwardly, then used the Minor Teleportation Technique to appear directly near a blank spiritual field rich in spiritual energy.

He buried the pale blue spirit seed in the spirit field, focused his mind on it, and immediately a thought appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Taiqing True Thunder Tree, a ninth-grade spiritual plant, requires planting in a place rich in pure thunder spirit energy during its growth process, and is nourished and irrigated with high-level divine thunder and thunder liquid. Its growth is extremely slow.

Its branches and leaves are top-grade materials for refining high-level lightning-attribute magical artifacts. The grade depends on the age. After a thousand years, the Taiqing True Lightning Tree can produce a small amount of Taiqing True Lightning, which has a powerful effect on tempering the physical body and soul.

The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Taiqing True Thunder Tree is a rare treasure for overcoming tribulations. It can help late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators resist the Divine Transformation Tribulation, greatly increasing their success rate in breaking through.

"It really is a ninth-grade spiritual plant!"

Lu Xuan was overjoyed, and his gratitude towards the Azure Horned Thunder Rhinoceros deepened even further.

"This ninth-grade Taiqing True Thunder Tree is truly rare. Its branches and leaves can be used to refine thunder-attribute magic treasures, and it can also produce extremely rare Taiqing True Thunder, which can be used to temper the physical body and the soul."

"More importantly, it can even help resist the tribulation of Nascent Soul."

The tribulations between breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage are completely different. As long as he cultivates this Taiqing True Thunder Tree to the ten-thousand-year stage, he will have a better chance of advancing to the Divine Transformation stage.

"In places where the aura of thunder spirit is abundant, we can only plant it near this Nine Heavens Thunder-Attracting Stele."

After nourishing the Taiqingzhen Thunder Tree seed with spiritual rain, several slender, pale golden lightning bolts emerged from his fingertips, which he then controlled to slowly merge into the seed.

After absorbing these Divine Firmament True Lightnings, Lu Xuan could sense that the pale blue patterns inside the spiritual seed became much more vivid, as if it had been given new life.

"Hmm? Did I attract your attention, little one?"

After nurturing it for a while, he flicked his sleeve, and a silvery-white Ganoderma lucidum shaped like a small person appeared in his hand.

Lightning continuously surged from Lingzhi's body, and its slender roots thrashed wildly, trying to break free from Lu Xuan's restraints.

It was that eighth-grade Flying Thunder Mushroom King, whose ability to escape and its perception of thunder-attribute treasures were several times greater than that of ordinary Flying Thunder Mushrooms.

Sure enough, the moment the Taiqingzhen Thunder Tree Spirit Seed was planted, this elusive Ganoderma lucidum immediately appeared nearby.

Fortunately, it only coveted the aura of the spirit seed and did not do anything to harm it, so Lu Xuan let it come closer.

After cultivating all the spiritual plants in his personal space, he returned to his cave, feeling slightly tired.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Lu Xuan stayed in the Sword Sect, focusing on cultivating spiritual plants, raising spiritual beasts, refining treasures, and practicing various supernatural abilities and techniques. The disturbances in the outside world were irrelevant to him.

He had heard about the strange changes in the cultivation world caused by demons and monsters when he talked with his fellow disciples. From time to time, he heard about a Nascent Soul cultivator who had perished at the hands of demons or monsters, or a sect that had been invaded by demons and monsters, with no survivors.

Even worse, one small world was invaded by demons, causing widespread devastation and turning the land into a place ravaged by demons.

That day, after visiting his former fellow disciple Ge Pu, he noticed something was off about the atmosphere within the Sword Sect on his way back to his cave.

The Dongxuan Sword Sect is one of the top sword sects in the myriad realms. Normally, they should be calm and composed, but today they seemed to be in a hurry, with sword lights flashing past Lu Xuan's eyes.

"Junior brother, please wait."

Lu Xuan blocked a fellow disciple in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"So it's Senior Brother Lu Xuan from Zhenhuan Sword Peak. Nie Shaoyan from Tianlu Sword Peak greets Senior Brother Lu."

"Junior Brother Nie, why are you in such a hurry? Has something major happened in the sect?"

Lu Xuan returned the greeting and asked curiously.

"It is indeed a once-in-a-century event."

Nie Shaoyan paused for a moment, then continued:

“A large-scale demonic invasion has appeared within tens of thousands of miles of our sect’s Lingxu Blessed Land. The demons are coming in strong and show signs of invading the Lingxu Blessed Land.”

"The Blessed Land is of great importance. The Sword Palace and the Nine Sword Peaks are preparing to gather forces to repel the demons."

"Junior brother has important matters to attend to, so I won't stay with Senior Brother Lu any longer. I'll come back to ask you for a cup of spiritual wine after I've slain the demons."

Nie Shaoyan cupped his hands in greeting, said nothing more, and then unleashed a burst of sword light, disappearing into the distance.

"Demons have invaded the Blessed Land of Spirit Ruins? With the Sword Sect's capabilities, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lu Xuan paused in mid-air, sighing inwardly.

"But with all this coming and going, it makes me, a spirit plant master, seem completely superfluous."

He shook his head and quickly returned to his cave.

After hesitating for a moment, he still sent a talisman to Jian Huanzhen, asking him if he was willing to go to the blessed land with his fellow disciples to kill demons and monsters.

Even if the possibility of going to the Spirit Ruins Blessed Land is slim, as a member of the Sword Sect, one should still maintain the proper attitude.

Unexpectedly, Jian's reaction was much stronger than he had imagined.

"Junior Brother Lu, you said you want to represent the True Sword Peak and go to the Spirit Ruins Blessed Land to hunt demons?"

As soon as the silver-white dragon disappeared, Jian Huanzhen appeared directly in front of Lu Xuan, his expression much more serious than usual.

"Senior Brother Huanzhen, is there something inappropriate about this?"

Lu Xuan asked softly.

"absurd!"

Jian Huan gave a soft shout, his expression softening slightly.

"You're just a plant cultivator, how can you risk your life to go to the front lines to fight those ferocious demons?"

Lu Xuan remained silent for a moment.

"In the past, when this happened, I would try my best to stay in the sect. Now, I want to go out and bully some weaker opponents, but others won't allow it," he thought to himself.

"Senior brother, it's true that I am a spirit plant master, but have you forgotten my other identity?"

"Junior brother, I am at least a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"

He specifically emphasized this to Jian Zhen.

“Junior brother, your Nascent Soul cultivation is true, but even among Nascent Soul cultivators at the same minor realm, there is a huge difference in combat power.”

"Besides, you've focused all your attention on cultivating spiritual plants, so you don't have time to practice supernatural powers and secret techniques or refine magical treasures."

Jian Huanzhen said with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I have cultivated countless high-level sword herbs, and I am confident that my swordsmanship is no less than that of most of my fellow disciples. In addition, the sect's Nascent Soul Ancestor and my senior brothers have all given me protective magic treasures."

"With his considerable wealth, and having acquired many powerful treasures after refining the Turtle and Crane Elixir, he should have no problem protecting himself."

Lu Xuan gave a vague reply.

"Without my permission, Junior Brother Lu, you absolutely cannot go to the Spirit Ruins Blessed Land."

"No matter how many tricks you have, if something unexpected happens, the losses to the sect will be immeasurable."

“There are many fellow disciples who are proficient in combat techniques and have strong fighting power, but a logistics master like Junior Brother Lu is rare.”

“Junior brother, your improvement of a high-grade sword herb is more important than hunting hundreds or thousands of demons.”

Jian Zhen said earnestly.

"What you say makes sense, senior brother. I will keep it in mind."

Lu Xuan nodded helplessly.

"By the way, there is another important matter that I must tell you, Junior Brother. In the next two or three years, the Sword Sect will select a new generation of true disciples. Among the disciples of True Sword Peak, Junior Brother Lu, you have the best chance of success, so it is even more urgent."

"Compared to becoming a true disciple of the Sword Sect, killing a few demons is nothing at all."

Jian Zhen said with a solemn expression.

"The true successor of the sword..."

True disciples hold a transcendent position within the Sword Sect. Each one can be considered a prospective Sword Master and is also a potential Nascent Soul cultivator within the sect. They enjoy the sect's abundant resources and are the most promising among their generation to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Lu Xuan already holds a crucial position within the Sword Sect, he is still slightly inferior to the true disciple, the Sword Master. If selected, not to mention anything else, he might even acquire the legendary ninth-grade sword herb spirit seed.

"Then Junior Brother should stay on Sword Peak obediently for the time being, adjust his condition, and strive to become the true disciple of the Sword Sect."

Lu Xuan made a promise to Jian Huanzhen.

"Alright, please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything from your senior brother."

Jian Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and only after seeing Lu Xuan's expression did he feel relieved and leave.

"I possess a wealth of supernatural powers and treasures, but I have no opportunity to use them!"

Watching Jian Huanzhen's figure disappear into the vast sea of ​​sword energy, Lu Xuan gave a bitter smile.

The previous persona of a spirit plant master was so successfully created that when he really wanted to go out and see the world, the sect wouldn't allow it.

"Fine, I'll just keep farming and living a miserable life."

He shrugged and walked into the spirit field not far away.

March passed quickly.

During this period, news from the Spirit Ruins Blessed Land came in like snowflakes, one after another.

These reports were a mixed bag. The invasion of demons was successfully repelled, and countless powerful demons were killed. However, the sect also suffered heavy losses, including two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators whose physical bodies were destroyed, with only their Nascent Souls escaping.

"Hundreds of years of painstaking cultivation were destroyed in one night."

"It seems that my cultivation level and magical treasures are still insufficient; I need to accumulate more."

He nurtured the spiritual plants beside him while thinking to himself.

"Those two miraculous tea plants have finally matured."

The two tea trees in front of me each have several tea leaves that look like emerald green glass. The tea leaves exude a fresh and natural fragrance that refreshes the mind and soothes the soul.

It was the two wondrous tea plants that the pagoda spirit had found for him. After years of cultivation and nourishment from the wood spirit's juice, they had finally reached full maturity.

The first plant, after harvesting its fifth batch of tea leaves, exhausted its essence and stopped producing new, nourishing tea leaves.

He carefully plucked a total of nine emerald green tea leaves, his gaze completely drawn to the nine white orbs that subsequently appeared.

With a gentle touch, the ball of light instantly transformed into countless tiny specks of light that shot into the sky, condensing in an instant into thin, long rivers of light that rapidly entered Lu Xuan's body.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

[Harvested Grade 6 Spirit Nourishing Tea, obtained Grade 7 Glazed Spirit-Nourishing Pill recipe.] 6
[Harvested Grade 6 Spirit Nourishing Tea Leaves, obtained Grade 7 Glazed Spirit Nourishing Pill.] 3
"Six pill formula experience packs and three Glazed Spirit Nourishing Pills, which play an important role in nourishing the soul. The gains are considerable."

Although he didn't get the once-rare treasure, the God-Stealing Jade, from the orb of light, Lu Xuan was already satisfied.

After absorbing the countless pieces of information that flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness, he carefully put away the three Glazed Spirit Nourishing Pills.

"Huh? Why is a ball of light suddenly emerging from the Evergreen Divine Tree?"

While cultivating the Evergreen Divine Tree that he had taken from the Divine Tree Sect, Lu Xuan unexpectedly saw a faintly shimmering white light.

Although the spiritual energy within the personal space is as rich and pure as a grotto-heaven, and it is occasionally nourished by things like wood spirit juice, it is still a long way from being truly mature.

"It should be a light cluster reward that appears after a year-old spiritual plant has grown to certain special milestones."

Lu Xuan had cultivated many spiritual plants over the years, and he quickly figured out the reason. He reached out and gently touched the white light cluster hidden in the lush green branches and leaves.

The ball of light shattered silently, instantly transforming into countless tiny points of light that shot into the sky, condensing in a thin river of light that flowed into Lu Xuan's body.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[When the seventh-grade evergreen divine tree reaches a certain stage of growth, the method for refining the Divine Wood Azure Pot, the treasure of the Divine Wood Sect, will be obtained.]

The moment the thought disappeared, countless pieces of information appeared in Lu Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The expected Divine Wood Green Pot did not appear, but its refining method was revealed instead."

"Very well, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. With the method of refining this Divine Wood Green Pot, as long as there are enough of them, we don't need to worry about prematurely maturing spiritual objects."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

"A five-hundred-year-old evergreen divine tree can be used to refine a seventh-grade divine wood green pot. I wonder how much stronger the ripening effect will be when a divine wood green pot is refined from a thousand-year-old divine tree."

"It is said that the Evergreen Divine Tree grows to be equivalent to a ninth-grade spiritual plant after ten thousand years. If the Divine Tree Green Pot is made from it, what would be the effect if it were used to accelerate the growth of those ninth-grade or even innate spiritual roots and Dao fruits?"

Lu Xuan felt a sense of joy in his heart.

"However, we must guard the secret of our mastery of the pot-refining technique to the death. Otherwise, if it gets out and the Divine Wood Sect finds out, it will be a fight to the death."

He silently warned himself.
