Chapter 12 Sword Grass
After returning home, Lu Xuan took out the nearly dry spiritual seed from his arms and looked at it carefully.
The withered spirit species is as slender as a sword and is gray-black in color. Perhaps because it has lost a lot of life, its shape is slightly shriveled.
Although Xu Wan had already told Lu Xuan that she and Zhang Hong had planted another identical spiritual seed but failed, Lu Xuan was very confident.
After all, as long as he successfully planted this dry spiritual seed, he would be able to understand the subtle needs of the spiritual seed through its real-time status, check for any omissions and fill in the gaps, and he would most likely be able to successfully cultivate it.
Just as he thought of it, Lu Xuan found a small open space in the spiritual field and used the Earth Drawing Technique. A slight crack appeared in the spiritual soil, just enough to accommodate the dry spiritual seeds.
After burying the dried spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan continued to activate the Earth Drawing Technique, gathering the weak spiritual energy in the spiritual field and gathering it towards the spiritual seeds.
After absorbing several experience packs, the earth-inflection technique has undergone qualitative changes. It can not only change the terrain on a local scale, but also slightly induce the flow of spiritual power in the spiritual field.
After the weak spiritual power in the spiritual soil was integrated into the spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan gathered on the dry spiritual seeds with some anxiety.
A thought flashed through his mind.
"Sword grass is a second-grade spiritual seed. When the spiritual plant matures, it looks like a sword blade. It is sharp and tough. It is a natural material for refining flying swords."
"I feel like it's about to dry up. Let's enjoy a heavy rain of spiritual energy to nourish it!"
After digesting this idea, Lu Xuan was overjoyed.
As he expected, after planting this dry spiritual seed, he not only learned the information about the corresponding spiritual plant, but also knew the detailed needs of the spiritual seed.
He immediately circulated the spiritual energy in his body, and misty water vapor appeared in the sky above the dry spiritual seeds. Then, strands of spiritual rain fell down and merged into the soil.
The sword grass spiritual seeds have been experiencing drought for a long time, and they greedily absorb the spiritual rain.
After a round of spiritual rain, Lu Xuan's spiritual sense examined the sword grass spiritual seed and found that it was still in a dry state.
"I want more, I want more, the more water, the better."
"It's just a second-grade spiritual seed, but my third-level Qi training can't satisfy you?"
Lu Xuan sneered. He was already extremely proficient in the spirit rain technique and almost instantly sent out another round of spirit rain.
"I want more, I want more!"
Lu Xuan snorted coldly, "Young man, you will die if I don't moisturize you!"
…
After seventeen rounds of spiritual rain surgery, Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and circulated the spiritual energy in his body again.
In the sky above the sword grass spiritual seeds, the spiritual energy surged for a while, and soon disappeared, without even a drop of spiritual rain falling.
"No more, really not a drop left."
He stood up unsteadily, feeling dizzy and having stars in his eyes.
This is the negative effect of overuse of Reiki.
Although his cultivation has stabilized at the third level of Qi training, which is much deeper than before, no amount of spiritual energy can withstand such continuous use.
His mind was focused on the sword grass spirit seed.
"I want more, I want more..."
Lu Xuan shuddered and quickly stayed away.
However, the fine nourishment of so many times of spiritual rain was not without effect. He felt that the sword grass spiritual seeds in the soil were much fuller and looked full of vitality.
Two days later, Lu Xuan, in addition to taking basic care of the other spiritual plants, focused on this second-grade sword grass spiritual plant.
I don’t know how many rounds of spiritual rain techniques were used, but the instant status of the spiritual seed finally changed.
"Sword grass, a second-grade spiritual plant, requires a certain amount of spiritual energy during the cultivation process. In addition, it also needs sword energy to nourish it from time to time to stimulate growth."
"It requires sword energy to be cultivated. It is indeed a second-grade spiritual plant. The requirements are obviously not of the same level. This must be the main reason for the failure of Brother Zhang and the others. After all, spiritual species are generally relatively delicate. Who would not think of using sword energy to do it?" Stimulate it?”
Lu Xuan suddenly realized, and he understood the reason why Zhang Hong and the others failed to plant. He was even more fortunate that he could grasp the real-time status of the spiritual plant at any time.
As for sword energy, he has a ready-made Gengjin sword technique.
The spiritual power in his body was circulating, and under the control of Lu Xuan's mind, a subtle golden sword energy dexterously drilled out from his fingers, passed through the soil of the spiritual field, and hit the sword grass spiritual seeds.
In an instant, Lu Xuan seemed to hear a faint sword cry from the spiritual seeds in the soil. Immediately, the golden sword energy seeped into the spiritual seeds, leaving a shallow golden line on the surface of the gray and black spiritual seeds.
He followed the same method and used three more golden sword energies to leave marks on the sword grass spiritual seeds. He only stopped after realizing that the sword energy was enough.
After the golden lines on the spiritual seeds disappear, new sword energy can be used to nourish the sword grass spiritual seeds.
"Finally successfully planted and started to enter the growth stage."
"I don't know what light group rewards the second-grade spiritual plant can bring..."
Lu Xuan felt the subtle changes in the sword grass spiritual seeds through his spiritual consciousness and breathed a sigh of relief.
He increasingly felt the importance of grasping the instant status of spiritual plants.
"Perhaps, we can go to the market or the casual cultivator stalls to find some unknown spiritual species?"
"Although there are not many spiritual plants appearing in the wild, it is not impossible."
"Spiritual plants have a certain probability of being produced when they mature naturally. They can also be taken from other monks and monsters, not to mention those weird secret realms. It's not surprising that anything appears."
"Perhaps other monks also have some unknown spiritual seeds in their hands. For them, if the type of spiritual seeds is unknown, it is difficult to evaluate the value and difficult to successfully plant them."
"But I am different. I can know the conditions for planting spiritual seeds. As long as they are met, the possibility of success is extremely high. In addition, I can also receive rewards from the light group."
The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, but when he thought about the few spiritual stones left in his hand, he quickly calmed down.
"Purchasing unknown spiritual seeds is ultimately a gamble. Although I have a higher chance of winning, I can't say that I'm sure of winning. What's more important is that I don't have enough spiritual stones to end the game."
After all, if you buy a wild spiritual seed, first of all, you can't be sure whether it can be planted. Secondly, you don't know what grade it is. It's okay to buy a first- and second-grade one, but if you buy a substandard one, you might still lose money.
"Let's wait until Brother Zhang and his group of monks who reclaimed the secret realm come back. The grade of spiritual seeds produced in the secret realm is more guaranteed, and at the same time, there will be more types in circulation."
In Lu Xuan's impression, when wandering around the market on weekdays, he rarely saw stalls selling wild spiritual seeds. Even if there were, they were basically varieties familiar to monks, and there was almost no trace of unknown spiritual seeds.
He decided to let nature take its course and accumulate more knowledge about spiritual plants. He would pay more attention in the market. If he found any unknown spiritual seeds and had enough spiritual stones, he would try to find them.
The spiritual plants in the yard are more important right now.
Twenty fireflies are growing very well. The leaves are stretched lazily under the nourishment of the spiritual rain, and the little fluorescent lights are shining like stars under the reflection of sunlight.
The red cloud pine grew about two inches taller, and the fine red needles on the tree became more dense. Under the stimulation of the fireball technique, they looked like a hedgehog covered with red thorns.
The eclipse fruit has entered a stage of rapid maturity.
