Chapter 1303 Nine Nether Spring Eye Eighth Grade Divine Wood Green Pot
"I've exchanged nine of the seventeen Tortoise and Crane Elixirs, so I have eight left. I need to use them sparingly."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

"However, the three treasures I received in exchange were all quite good, which was beyond my expectations."

"It seems that if we squeeze some resources out of the Sword Sect, we can still get a lot of good stuff out of them."

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he felt pleased.

Nine Tortoise and Crane Yuan Pills were exchanged for an eighth-grade Azure Sea Green Yuan Tree, a bottle of ten drops of eighth-grade Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew, and a piece of extremely rare ninth-grade Azure Emperor's Beard. Suddenly, he had a much larger supply of spiritual items to accelerate their growth.

"Besides these three treasures, the book also contains a 9th-grade Mother Spirit Essence of All Things, seven strands of mysterious natural energy, and three drops of Creation Dew."

"And with the Shenmu Qinghu and Wood Elf Juice we've accumulated over this period, it's time to make a big splash."

Lu Xuan was filled with boundless ambition and was prepared to reap a great harvest.

He entered his personal space and went directly to the Nine Netherworld Lotus.

The Nine Netherworld Lotus is of the eighth grade. It was obtained from Elder Shi Jiuyin of the Netherworld Sect. It was planted not long ago and requires high-grade Yin Spirit Spring for nourishment during cultivation.

"Although this Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew is also a top-grade ripening spiritual item, it has a miraculous effect on extremely yin and extremely cold spiritual plants, and is just right to be used to ripen this Nine Nether Yin Lotus."

Lu Xuan took out the small white jade bottle that was emitting a chilling aura, loosened the stopper, and a drop of extremely cold, amber-shaped spiritual liquid fell onto the Nine Netherworld Lotus.

The moment the two came into contact, the pale black spiritual lotus, which was only an inch or so long, began to grow wildly, and the progress bar below it rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gradually, a faint gray aura began to emanate from around the spirit lotus, and one could vaguely sense a dark and deathly aura from it, as if it came from the depths of the netherworld.

Lu Xuan stood quietly in place, waiting for the Nine Netherworld Lotus to slowly digest that drop.

When the time was right, the second drop of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew gently landed on the top of the Nine Netherworld Yin Lotus, which had grown considerably.

The pale gray aura surrounding the spirit lotus gradually intensified, covering the plant, and the aura surged continuously, as if something was being nurtured within it.

Half an hour later, a lotus flower as black as ink quietly bloomed, revealing a bewitching and eerie beauty against the backdrop of the gloomy atmosphere.

"One more drop of the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew should be enough."

Lu Xuan focused his mind on the lotus flower, carefully observing the semi-transparent progress bar below, and secretly estimated its progress.

Without further hesitation, the third drop of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew gently landed on the jet-black lotus.

The lotus frantically absorbed the surrounding dark spiritual energy, and lotus seeds imbued with a rich aura of the Netherworld gradually condensed.

"Finally mature!"

Lu Xuan stared intently at the semi-transparent progress bar below, and after it was fully drawn, he let out a long breath.

"An eighth-grade Nine Netherworld Yin Lotus requires three drops of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew. Compared to before, it seems to be not much different, but if you take into account the time it takes to cultivate the Nine Netherworld Yin Lotus, you can see the effect of the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew."

"If we were to use Creation Dew, it would probably take four drops or more."

He silently compared them in his mind, and then his attention was drawn to the several lotus seeds on the lotus flower.

"The stems and leaves can be used as top-quality materials for ghost cultivators to reshape their physical bodies. The lotus seeds are extremely yin and cold, making them an excellent material for condensing corresponding magical treasures. They can also be used to raise high-level yin beasts and ghosts, and can be used to assist in extremely yin-type supernatural techniques."

"This Nine Nether Lotus is a treasure from head to toe, and we can't waste it."

He carefully picked the entire Nine Netherworld Lotus, carefully placed each piece inside his small book, and his gaze fell on the white light cluster that had quietly appeared.

The ball of light flickered slightly, holding immense attraction for him.

"An eighth-grade spiritual plant, let's see what rewards it yields."

Lu Xuan reached out and gently touched it. In an instant, the ball of light shattered silently, and countless tiny points of light burst into the sky like fireworks, soaring into the heavens and instantly condensing into a thin river of light that entered his body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested an eighth-grade Nine Netherworld Lotus, and obtained the Nine Netherworld Spring, a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth.]

The moment the thought vanished, a spring the size of a bowl appeared before Lu Xuan.

The spring seemed to connect to the netherworld, with a thin stream of water gushing upwards. The water was grayish-brown, exuding a sense of darkness and death.

Lu Xuan focused his mind on the spring and immediately learned detailed information about it.

[The Nine Nether Spring is a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth, connected to the Nine Netherworld and Yellow Springs. Wherever it is located, the aura of the Nine Netherworld slowly arises, forming an extremely yin spiritual land. After accumulating to a certain scale, it can give birth to a ninth-grade Nine Netherworld Spring, and can even communicate with the Great World of the Nine Netherworld.]

"A spiritual object of heaven and earth without a grade can form a supremely yin spiritual land and give birth to a ninth-grade Nine Spiritual Spring. Its value is no less than that of an ordinary ninth-grade treasure."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

He had some knowledge of the Nine Nether Spring. It was an excellent material for alchemy, capable of slightly improving the quality and success rate of high-grade pills. It also had a certain nourishing effect on the cultivator's physical body and soul, and could assist in the cultivation of corresponding supernatural powers and secret techniques, making it a versatile resource.

"This Nine Nether Spring can be placed in the Netherworld Spirit Field, and after a few years it may form an extremely Yin Spirit Land."

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Xuan used the Minor Teleportation Technique to directly enter the Netherworld Spirit Field.

As fewer and fewer of the strange spiritual plants were planted, much of the spirit field in the underworld became overgrown with weeds, leaving only a few high-level spiritual plants. These were usually tended by the avatar with the lower cultivation level.

"It seems that this Buddha Mother Demon Seed is not long from maturing. I wonder if it will attract the so-called Buddha Mother when it does."

Lu Xuan glanced at the demonic seed, which resembled a Buddha statue but was entangled with countless demonic energies, and thought to himself.

"And this Yellow Springs Undying Tree, the second Yellow Springs Undying Fruit has also grown."

"If the Nine Nether Spring is placed near the Yellow Spring Immortal Tree, it will probably speed up the growth of the Immortal Fruit."

Without hesitation, Lu Xuan arrived in front of the Yellow Springs Undying Tree, chose a spot, and arranged the Nine Nether Spring Eye there.

In an instant, a dense aura of the Nine Netherworlds erupted, as if a Nine Netherworld Spring was flowing from beyond the heavens, with gurgling water rising and a dark and deathly atmosphere permeating the surroundings.

"The Nine Netherworld Lotus is just an appetizer."

"With so many ripening-enhancing spiritual items, we'll have to use them up properly!"

Lu Xuan had never fought such a rich battle before. After a moment's thought, he came to the evergreen divine tree.

"While other spiritual plants can yield treasures of the ninth rank or even higher, this evergreen divine tree is unique in its ability to achieve sustainable development."

"Let's try it out first and see what kind of light cluster reward it can produce after it grows to five hundred or even a thousand years."

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan had a sudden thought, and a small tree that looked like it was cast from jade appeared in front of him.

"Try the effects of this Azure Sea Tree."

The old man surnamed Zhou from the Sword Palace was quite kind; when the Azure Sea Green Origin Tree was exchanged, it didn't need to be charged with high-grade spirit stones and could be used directly.

Lu Xuan channeled his magic power into the emerald green sapling, and the sapling immediately shone brightly with green light, its rich vitality pouring down and enveloping the Evergreen Divine Tree.

The evergreen sacred tree received ample nourishment, and its growth rate increased by hundreds or even thousands of times.

"The Azure Sea Green Origin Tree matures slightly slower than other treasures of the same grade, but it has the advantage of being able to mature continuously. After being charged with spirit stones, it can be used again after a period of time."

As for the high-grade or even top-grade spirit stones consumed, Lu Xuan simply ignored them.

There's nothing I can do; having too many spirit stones just makes me reckless.

However, the eighth-grade Azure Sea Green Origin Tree has not yet reached the point where it needs to be replenished with spirit stones to mature into a seventh-grade Evergreen Divine Tree.

The next day, as he continued to accelerate the growth of the evergreen divine tree, suddenly, a white ball of light popped out from the top of the tree. "It should have matured to five hundred years by now."

Evergreen Divine Tree belongs to the high-level spiritual plant category of annuals. At several important stages of its growth, it can yield light clusters as rewards.

Lu Xuan remembered that when he grew to be a hundred years old, he obtained the method of refining the Divine Wood Green Pot from the ball of light.

Now, finally, the second white orb of light has appeared.

He stopped channeling his magic power, flew to the top of the Evergreen Divine Tree, and gently touched the white ball of light.

In an instant, the ball of light shattered silently, instantly condensing into a thin river of light that rapidly entered Lu Xuan's body.

A thought flashed through his mind.

When the Evergreen Divine Tree grows to a certain level, one can obtain the eighth-grade cultivation technique, "Evergreen Divine Skill (Part 1)."

The thought vanished, and a pale green ancient book appeared before Lu Xuan.

By focusing his mind on it, he immediately learned detailed information about it.

[The Evergreen Divine Art, Rank 8, is a top-tier cultivation technique of the Divine Wood Sect. It can be cultivated up to the late Nascent Soul stage. Upon successful cultivation, one's magical power is enduring and approximately 30% greater than that of other cultivators of the same level.]

"The Divine Wood Sect's top-tier cultivation technique is available, but I already possess the Divine Firmament True Method, which I can use up to the Nascent Soul stage, and I have cultivated it for many years. There is no need for me to consider this technique again."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

"However, this Evergreen Divine Skill can only gather dust in the small book for now. Perhaps in the future, it can be remodeled and exchanged for something else."

"Selling it in its original form would probably attract endless pursuit from the Divine Tree Sect."

Lu Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.

He has far too many similar techniques in his possession.

After taking the "Evergreen Divine Skill" into his book, he continued to channel his magic power to accelerate the growth of the Evergreen Divine Tree.

The third orb of light did not appear until the third day.

"The evergreen sacred tree must have grown to be a thousand years old."

"The spiritual energy in the Azure Sea Tree is almost completely depleted and needs to be replenished by absorbing high-grade spirit stones."

Upon seeing the ball of light appear, Lu Xuan took out a high-grade spirit stone that shone with brilliant spiritual light.

As soon as the spirit stone was placed on the emerald green sapling, it was absorbed by the tree, and the sapling, which had become dull and lifeless, regained its luster.

Lu Xuan ignored the green sapling, drew the ball of light over, and gently touched it.

In an instant, the ball of light shattered silently, turning into countless tiny specks of light that shot into the sky, then instantly condensed into a long, thin river of light that rapidly entered Lu Xuan's body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

When the Evergreen Divine Tree grows to a certain level, you will obtain the Rank 8 treasure, the Divine Tree Azure Pot.

The moment the thought vanished, a strange little pot appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Xuan.

The small pot is exquisite and delicate, with a light green color all over its body. A faint green light flows across its surface, and a green spiritual energy emanates from its small spout. It is a size larger than the one in Lu Xuan's hand.

Lu Xuan focused his mind on it and immediately learned detailed information about it.

[The Divine Wood Green Pot, an eighth-grade treasure, can be refined into a high-level magic weapon. It is a treasure passed down through the Divine Wood Sect, forged from thousand-year-old evergreen divine wood. After being infused with various wood-attribute spiritual energies, it can store, compress, and transform into different types of spiritual energy. The effect depends on the quantity, quality, and time of the spiritual energy.]

"I never expected to find an eighth-grade divine wood green pot."

Lu Xuan was overjoyed.

His initial plan was to accelerate the growth of this evergreen divine tree to the level of a thousand years before forging it into an eighth-grade divine wood green pot. He never expected the light orb to be so considerate and open it directly.

"It seems that this evergreen sacred tree can still be cultivated."

A five-hundred-year-old evergreen divine tree can be used to refine a seventh-grade divine wood jar, and a thousand-year-old one can refine an eighth-grade one. I wonder if a ninth-grade evergreen divine tree, after growing for ten thousand years, can be used to refine a treasure at the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator...

"However, we will have to put the process of accelerating the growth of this evergreen tree on hold for the time being."

There is a world of difference between artificially maturing a thousand-year-old spiritual tree and artificially maturing a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual tree.

Even with the Azure Emperor's Whiskers and the Spirit Essence of the Mother of All Things in Lu Xuan's possession, it's not certain that the Evergreen Divine Tree could grow to the ten-thousand-year level.

More importantly, the Grade 8 Divine Wood Green Teapot is barely usable for him at present.

Previously, the Spirit-Gathering Grass Beads were all condensed by Little Tree Maiden and Mu Yuanping and then stored in the Divine Wood Green Pot. Now that they have obtained the Rank 8 Divine Wood Green Pot, their condensation speed is estimated to be slower than the conversion speed of the small pot, and the efficiency is much lower than before.

"To continue using the eighth-grade divine wood green pot, we will probably have to rely on the power of the Xuanji Tree Mother."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

With a sudden thought, he went to an open space and summoned the Xuanji Tree Mother.

The Mysterious Tree Mother, with its countless emerald green spiritual energies condensing and thousands of vines hanging down, revealed its form.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what urgent matter do you have to discuss?"

"Senior Tree Mother, I accidentally obtained an eighth-grade spiritual artifact in an ancient site, and I need to infuse it with high-level plant spiritual energy."

"Because I usually need to cultivate and nurture spiritual plants, I don't have time to spend on such things. Therefore, I would like to ask Senior Tree Mother to occasionally inject a trace of plant spiritual energy into it when she has some free time."

"Or we could infuse the plant spirits within with spiritual energy. Would you be willing, senior?"

Lu Xuan cupped his hands and asked.

"no problem."

“Fellow Daoist Lu has protected us and provided us with a superior spiritual land. We should repay Fellow Daoist Lu.”

"It's just injecting some spiritual energy, it won't have much of an impact. Besides, Fellow Daoist Lu's personal space has such pure and rich spiritual energy, and so many high-level spiritual plants. He can easily replenish it by absorbing a little bit of the spiritual energy from the plants."

"The Mysterious Tree Mother said softly."

"Thank you very much, senior."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan was overjoyed. He handed the newly acquired Grade 8 Divine Wood Green Pot to the Xuanji Tree Mother and entrusted the White Lotus Incarnation to deliver it to him if it was already filled with the spiritual energy of plants.

"There are still two ninth-grade spiritual items left. I should carefully consider which ninth-grade spiritual plant to accelerate to maturity."

Lu Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense and found himself in a dilemma.

"Mysterious Yellow Tree, Nine True Spirit Leaves, Yin Yang Thunder Wood, Nine Aperture Ginseng Fruit..."

"There are too many Grade 9 spiritual plants, and I don't know how to choose."

Lu Xuan smiled and shook his head.

"It's just you."

He ultimately chose the Nine True Spirit Leaf.

This ninth-grade spiritual plant has been cultivated for the longest time and has collected the essence blood of nine kinds of true spirits, so it is relatively easy to accelerate its ripening. Since it is a commission from the spirit of the artifact, it is good to complete the task as soon as possible.
