Chapter 16 Danfang
"It seems that this Dark Marrow Mushroom doesn't like light, and its growth environment also requires decaying spiritual trees."
Lu Xuan judged based on the prompts that appeared in his mind.
"It's quite simple if it doesn't like light. Although it's difficult to move it indoors due to the spiritual soil in the spiritual field, you can build a simple shed for it to block the light."
"It's just that rotten spiritual wood is hard to find. Spiritual wood is quite common, but who has that kind of rotten spiritual wood in their home?"
Lu Xuan was thinking in his mind as he took out tools from home and built a simple wooden shed around Dark Marrow Zhi.
After all, it is a second-grade spiritual plant. The sooner you plant it, the sooner you can harvest it. He no longer delayed and decided to go out and look for it first.
He walked all the way to the center of the square, and after half a moment, he came to a huge courtyard.
Looking beyond the stone wall, you can vaguely see the dense and tall spiritual trees planted inside.
The owner of the courtyard was a monk surnamed Zhou, who was at the third level of Qi training. Lu Xuan had only heard about it before and rarely had the chance to deal with him.
It is said that this monk named Zhou has a close relationship with a high-level Qi practitioner in the center of the city, so he is able to occupy such a large courtyard and plant so many spiritual trees.
Decayed spiritual wood either encountered insect pests during the planting process, was stored for too long, or did not have good storage conditions, causing the properties of the spiritual wood to change and thus become rotten.
This monk surnamed Zhou planted a large number of spiritual trees, and it was possible that he had rotten wood at home.
He stepped forward and was greeted by a young monk.
Lu Xuan expressed his intention, and the young monk led him to the monk named Zhou.
The young man walked up to his father, monk surnamed Zhou, and whispered a few words.
"In Zhou Yuan, what do you call your little brother?"
"Lu Xuan."
"Friendly Lu Dao, I heard Quanzi say that Friend Taoist wants to ask if there are any decayed spiritual trees in my house. I wonder what Friend is used for?"
"To be honest with you, Senior Brother Zhou, I have gained some experience in cultivating spiritual plants recently, and I wanted to find the rotten wood to test a conjecture. I heard that Senior Brother Zhou is very good at planting spiritual trees, so I wanted to come over and try to see if there was any rotten wood. "
Lu Xuan replied half-truthfully.
"I see."
Zhou Yuan nodded, his expression unchanged, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.
"Due to various factors, there are indeed several pieces of decaying spiritual wood in the house."
Zhou Yuan told his son a few words and took out some spiritual trees from the warehouse behind the yard.
The appearance of the spirit tree was in tatters, exuding a rotten and unpleasant smell.
"If Brother Lu wants it, just take it."
"It's just that planting spiritual trees requires more manpower and material resources than planting ordinary spiritual plants. Even if these spiritual trees have decayed, they still have some value."
"Two spiritual stones, these three spiritual trees can be taken away by little brother Lu."
Lu Xuan frowned.
"Since the spirit wood has decayed, it means that it has lost its original purpose. It is a bit unkind to need two spirit stones for three useless pieces of wood, right?"
He knew that the other party did not know the true purpose of the decayed spiritual wood he wanted. With this information gap, Lu Xuan was confident.
"One spiritual stone, just think of me as helping you, fellow Daoist Zhou, to deal with the waste wood."
Zhou Yuan was just trying Lu Xuan's bottom line, but seeing his attitude, he stopped insisting and nodded in agreement.
These abandoned spiritual trees are usually buried in an uninhabited place outside Fangshi after reaching a certain amount. Being able to exchange them for a spiritual stone is already a good idea.
The two reached an agreement, and after Lu Xuan delivered the spirit stones, he returned home with three discarded spirit trees.
In the yard, under the cover of a simple wooden shed, the dark red fungi seemed to blend into the shadows.
Lu Xuan hurriedly took out three pieces of rotten wood and carefully placed them around the dark marrow mushroom.
When he returned from performing a round of Spiritual Rain, he found that the Dark Marrow Seed had undergone significant changes.
The rhizome of the fungus, perhaps attracted by the special smell of the decaying spiritual wood, quietly grew many small dark red hyphae.
The dark red mycelium spread into the rotten wood. Lu Xuan seemed to feel that the color of the dark marrow mushroom was darker, and the flow of viscous liquid in the blood vessel-like channels inside accelerated by two points.
After successfully planting the dark marrow mushroom, Lu Xuan finally felt relieved.
In the next period of time, he basically stayed at home, spending most of his time carefully cultivating spiritual plants, and the rest of his time practicing his skills and spells, and becoming familiar with the use of the still incomplete Silver Splitting Blade.
I also went to the casual cultivator market twice to see if I could find one or two unknown spiritual seeds at the stalls while the casual cultivators who had reclaimed the secret realm came back.
Unfortunately, I occasionally saw stalls selling spiritual seeds, all of which were common spiritual seeds that Lu Xuan was familiar with.
The courtyard spiritual field is only so big, and it is already so crowded that there is no space for other spiritual plants.
Twenty fireflies have entered the rapid growth stage, and the moon eclipse fruits on the two eclipse trees are more than half mature.
A first-grade red pine tree does not have high requirements for the aura environment. It only needs to be stimulated with fireballs from time to time.
A second-grade sword grass requires Gengjin Sword Technique and Spiritual Rain Technique. A second-grade dark marrow mushroom's nutrients mainly come from decayed spiritual wood, and does not require Lu Xuan to nourish it with Spiritual Rain Technique.
It is enough to use the Spiritual Rain Technique and the Earth Drawing Technique to keep the rotten wood in a decayed state.
Looking at it this way, Lu Xuan found that the first-grade spiritual plants in the spiritual field were the least, just a red cloud pine. The two spiritual seeds he found brought him an unexpected surprise. They were both second-grade spiritual plants.
During this period, he harvested five more Moon Eclipse Fruits.
Four of good quality and one of good quality.
Two of the five white light groups brought were fragments of the Silver Splitting Blade. In this way, the Magical Silver Splitting Blade was more complete, with only a few small gaps.
There are fourteen eclipse fruits left, so Lu Xuan estimates that the problem is not big.
There are also two first-grade talismans, namely the sword energy talisman and the evil-dispelling talisman. Among the talismans of this level, they are both quite good.
As for the high-quality Moon Eclipse Fruit, after Lu Xuan absorbed it, a stream of information appeared in his mind.
"The Peiyuan Dan prescription records the materials, techniques, etc. for refining the first-grade elixir Peiyuan Dan."
"It's actually an elixir. It's indeed a high-quality moon eclipse fruit."
Lu Xuan was a little surprised. The pills that came out of the white light group several times before were the Peiyuan Dan Chengdan. This time, the pills were directly released.
Well, it's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. It seems that he will have to spend some time to learn how to refine the elixir.
Lu Xuan thought secretly.
"It's just that there is no foundation before. If you start refining the elixir from scratch, the probability of failure is higher."
"I don't know if this Moon Eclipse Fruit will ever be used to produce a prescription for cultivating Yuan Dan. If there is another prescription, will it be like the previous Earth Induction Technique and Gengjin Sword Technique, which will automatically increase the alchemy experience after repeated absorption."
Lu Xuan thought optimistically as he looked at the dozen round and plump moon eclipse fruits hanging among the green leaves.
