Chapter 122 The Mystery of Sword Grass
"It is too rare to have a third-grade spiritual plant that raises sword gourds and focuses on attacking."
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart.
Spiritual plants are usually used as the main material for alchemy, and some can be taken directly to enhance the spiritual power of monks, dispel evil spirits, heal wounds, etc., and a small number can be used as materials for refining talismans and magical instruments.
Sword-raising gourds, which are extremely offensive in nature, are extremely rare.
"Excuse me, senior brother, how many sword seals are needed to replace a sword-raising gourd spiritual seed?"
Lu Xuan asked the old farmer monk.
"Ninety sword seals."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly when he heard the words.
When he was in Linyangfang City, there were a few kinds of third-grade spiritual species for sale in Wanbao Tower, and the price was no less than two or three hundred spiritual stones.
And they are all relatively common varieties. If there are spiritual species such as sword-raising gourds for sale, Lu Xuan estimates that it would be difficult to buy even five hundred spiritual stones.
This is the benefit of having a large sect at your back.
As long as there are enough sword seals, all kinds of high-grade rare and rare spiritual species are not a problem.
Lu Xuan took out ninety sword seals and handed them to the old farmer monk.
After a while, the monk came out of the inner hall and handed Lu Xuan a sword-raising gourd spiritual seed.
The spirit seed is light green in color and has an elongated shape, about an inch and a half long. At first glance, it might have looked like a small pocket sword.
"Excuse me, senior brother."
Lu Xuan carefully took the seeds and put them into the storage bag.
"By the way, senior brother, before I entered the sect, I accidentally heard that the sect has an extremely mysterious and powerful spiritual plant called Jiancao. Why didn't I see it in these jade books?"
he asked the old peasant monk.
"Sword grass... you can't get it just by relying on the sword seal. There are also requirements for identity. Only inner disciples are qualified to plant it."
"Although it is only a second-grade plant, it is more difficult to cultivate than an ordinary third-grade plant. Needless to say, it is rare."
"More importantly, the sword grass involves many sect secrets. It was originally a natural sword weapon, but under the cultivation of the sect's sword cultivators and spiritual planters in the past generations, it has derived third- and fourth-grade swords such as the sword peacock and the sword crow. The importance of spiritual plants is evident.”
"Although junior brother is good at spiritual planting and has already begun to cultivate third-grade sword-raising gourds, if you want to grow sword grass, you still need to wait for a while. Only after you become an inner disciple can you be qualified to grow sword grass."
The old farmer monk talked eloquently. Although he was not qualified to grow sword grass, he had been working in the Sinong Palace for so long and had a relatively clear understanding of sword grass.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he hesitated in his heart, considering whether to reveal that he had planted a sword grass.
He weighed it again and again and finally decided to tell the truth.
Confessing that you have planted sword grass can greatly increase the value of your identity as a spiritual planter, thereby obtaining better spiritual fields, spiritual seeds, etc.
Then, get the white light group with rich rewards, and get more cultivation and treasures.
This part can be hidden. On weekdays, it is only necessary to consolidate the character of the spiritual planter.
"To be honest, senior brother, I happened to get a sword grass seed in a small city in the outside world. After experimenting for a while, I actually found a way to cultivate sword grass and successfully planted a sword grass."
Lu Xuan whispered.
"Junior brother, are you joking? It's just that the sword grass spiritual seeds are obtained by chance. Although there are very few spiritual seeds that are exposed to the outside world, it is still possible to achieve it."
"Then find out how to grow sword grass?"
The old farmer monk seemed to have heard something incredible, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Here, senior brother, look at it, is it sword grass?"
Lu Xuan took out the sword grass from the storage bag and placed it in front of the old farmer monk.
"Huh?"
The monk sighed softly, picked up the black sword grass on the wooden table, observed it carefully, and flicked it with his fingers from time to time, and the spiritual power seeped into it.
"Although it is slightly different from what I have seen before, there is no doubt that it is a sword grass."
"Still of high quality?!"
The old farmer monk couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Lu Xuan in surprise. His eyes were round and his forehead was densely wrinkled.
The man in front of me actually managed to grow a high-quality sword grass by himself!
He has some knowledge about the cultivation method of sword grass, which can be summed up in one sentence. It can be nourished and cultivated with sword energy.
It is easy to know but difficult to do. There are many complex conditions contained in just one sentence.
First of all, it requires a monk who has profound attainments in the way of swordsmanship and can finely control the sword energy, so as to meet the growth needs of the sword grass.
Secondly, an experienced spiritual planter is needed who can provide the sword grass with the most suitable sword energy according to its growth stage and growth conditions.
You must know that the physical strength of Jiancao is different at each stage, and the demand for sword energy is also constantly changing.
If the sword energy provided is too strong and the quantity is too large, it may damage the sword grass. If the sword energy is too small and the intensity is weak, it will affect the quality of the sword grass and even produce shapeless sword grass.
And Lu Xuan actually met these two extremely difficult conditions before entering Tianjian Sect.
This made the old peasant monk look at him with admiration, and his tone was unconsciously filled with respect.
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Lu is actually a genius spiritual planter. He taught himself without a teacher and successfully cultivated sword grass."
"Junior brother, with his abilities, will definitely be valued by the seniors in the sect and entrusted with important responsibilities. When the time comes, junior brother, please don't forget me, senior brother."
"Senior brother is joking, I'm just lucky."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Lu, I will report the fact that Junior Brother has cultivated sword grass.
It's just that the master of the palace is currently practicing in seclusion in the inner sect. It may take a few days to find out. Junior brother, can you tell me the location of your residence? I will inform you when there is news. "
The old farmer monk said actively and enthusiastically.
Since Lu Xuan could cultivate rare spiritual plants like sword grass on his own, his future was naturally bright, so he took advantage of the opportunity to sell it well and make friends.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Lu Xuan told the old farmer monk the location of the cave, and then left the Sinong Hall with the sword-raising gourd spirit seed.
Outside the hall, he picked a tall crane and let it carry him to the cave.
The spirit crane was extremely fast, and after a moment, it stopped in the sky above the cave.
Lu Xuan jumped down lightly, handed over a spirit stone, opened the formation, and entered the yard.
"I'm back."
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx pretended to have just heard these words, and walked out of the room gracefully and slowly, looking at Lu Xuan indifferently with a pair of green eyes.
"Ouch..."
A rough growl with seven points of contentment indicated that he had understood.
Lu Xuan tugged at the two tufts of gray hair on the tips of its ears, took out the wind falcon egg from the storage bag, and placed it carefully on the ground.
"This is the new little friend in the family. Remember not to bully others in the future."
Lu Xuan looked at the big cat-like cloud-walking lynx in front of him and ordered.
In his previous life, he had seen many videos of wild cats hunting birds, so he had been vaccinated against the cloud-walking lynx in advance.
