Chapter 192 White Jade Sky Ape
In the mountain courtyard.
Lu Xuan took out three jade slips and placed one on his forehead, his spiritual consciousness slowly seeping into it.
Soon, a turbulent flow of information rushed into his mind, filling the sea of consciousness to the point of almost exploding.
He was like a sponge, frantically absorbing and digesting the knowledge of cultivation pouring into the sea of consciousness.
After nearly half an hour, Lu Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked much more relaxed.
In the sea of consciousness, the practice methods, tips, routes, and intermediate-level Five Elements techniques related to the "Great Five Elements Kung Fu" are deeply engraved in it. With a thought, the corresponding knowledge can be summoned and the insights can be experienced in detail.
"It is indeed an advanced version of "Little Five Elements Kung Fu". The difficulty of practice is several times higher. Of course, the effect is also much improved."
Lu Xuan sighed with emotion, and followed the same pattern, absorbing the sword skills and light body skills from the other two jade slips.
After the knowledge in the jade slips is absorbed, it will automatically break into pieces and turn into powder and fall to the ground, so there is no need to worry about it being spread easily.
"After being promoted to the foundation-building realm, farming is still the most important. However, in your spare time, you can still practice martial arts and sword techniques."
He sighed secretly.
Other monks mainly focus on cultivation, followed by fighting skills, exploring opportunities, refining alchemy, weapon refining, spiritual planting and other skills at a lower position. Lu Xuan is just the opposite. When it comes to cultivating spiritual plants, others are just useless. A war dog is fragile.
After learning a little about the three techniques, he came to the spiritual field.
Climb over the mountains and ridges and observe the growth status of many spiritual plants in various places on the mountain peaks.
All the spiritual plants are growing gratifyingly. Some are entering the mature stage one after another, some are sprouting branches and leaves, growing vigorously, and some are taking root and sprouting, or are in the gestation stage. Each stage is full of vitality, which makes Lu Xuan, a spiritual plant master, feel happy. Extremely satisfying.
"A batch of fireflies are also mature."
He inspected the remaining ordinary fireflies, and after carefully confirming each one, he got thirty-two perfectly mature fireflies.
Due to the influence of the recent transplantation, the average quality of the newly mature fireflies has dropped slightly. Among the thirty-two plants, only four are of perfect quality, while the others are of good or superior quality.
On the ground, where they were picked, there were thirty-two white light groups flickering slightly, attracting Lu Xuan's eyes.
He raised the corners of his mouth and gently picked up the nearest one.
The light group turned into countless light spots and poured into his body, and then a thought flashed through his body.
[Harvest one Lingying grass and gain February cultivation level. 】
"Um?"
Just when Lu Xuan wanted to continue picking up the second light ball, suddenly, an idea that appeared in his mind attracted his attention.
"Cultivation level in February? How could this happen?"
A trace of panic flashed in his eyes. In his mind, the white ball of light just came from a good-quality firefly. According to the past, he would get six months of cultivation reward, but this time, he only got two months. of cultivation.
Lu Xuan adjusted his breathing and continued to pick up the second light group.
It wasn't until the fifth light group that the cultivation reward appeared. It came from a high-quality firefly grass. It was supposed to give him nine months of cultivation, but after absorbing the light group, he only got three months of cultivation.
"Compared with before, the cultivation rewards brought by the light group are less than two-thirds. What is the reason?"
"The timing of picking and the quality of spiritual plants are no different from before. On the contrary, the spiritual energy and spiritual soil on the mountain peaks are better than those in the cave before. The only change is that I have been promoted to the foundation building realm."
"Could it be said that the gap in grades is too large, resulting in reduced cultivation rewards?"
Lu Xuan had an idea and thought of some games in his previous life. When the controlled character killed monsters, if the level gap was too large, the experience gained would be reduced or even not at all.
"Lingyingcao is a non-grade spiritual plant, and the foundation-building cultivation level corresponds to a third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual plant. There is indeed a huge difference."
The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the most likely possibility, and he also remembered another situation.
"Harvesting low-level spiritual plants will reduce the rewards. If you harvest high-level spiritual plants across different levels, will you get more generous rewards?"
When he was in the realm of Qi training, he once harvested two third-grade spiritual plants, Jiao Teng and Huanyan Luoguo, and obtained the top-level body-training technique "Taixu Hualong Chapter" and the fourth-grade formation Thousand Fantasy Clouds and Smoke Array respectively.
"In the past, I would occasionally get higher-level rewards, but they were mainly based on talismans or materials, and were less important than skills and formations. Therefore, there are indeed additional rewards for cultivating spiritual plants across levels."
Lu Xuan analyzed.
"Fortunately, I took precautions and prepared in advance. I experimented in advance and improved the firefly species."
Lu Xuan calmed down, looked at the remaining firefly grass, and decided to make some adjustments.
He had no intention of picking the remaining one hundred and thirty-four ordinary fireflies. Instead, he planned to condense them all into spiritual seeds, and then use a large number of spiritual seeds to induce mutant spiritual plants.
In addition to the twenty-six ice-type and fire-type fireflies that have been successfully induced, fifty plants are in the stimulation stage. With a large amount of resources pouring in, he firmly believes that he will succeed in improving it soon.
"During the improvement process, my biggest advantage is that I can induce spiritual seeds cyclically. I don't need to cultivate them for a period of time before discovering abnormalities. I can know the information directly by planting the spiritual seeds, which greatly shortens the induction process."
"In addition, for the mutant spiritual plant, you can make the most accurate adjustments and choices through its real-time status, which can also save a lot of time."
Lu Xuan thought with confidence.
"If you are worried, let's calm down with a piece of grilled fish."
He came to the edge of the lake, and a red light penetrated the lake surface silently. After two or three breaths, a plump spiritual fish jumped out of the water with a needle pierced by a red thread.
The spirit fish landed on the ground, flapping its tail fiercely, trying to get back into the lake.
Lu Xuan casually pulled out a gray straw rope from the grass puppet next to him, tied the spirit fish up, and carried it back to the courtyard.
Under slow fire roasting, the spirit fish made a sizzling sound, and the fragrance spread, attracting the young wind falcon hatching the eggs of the Lihuo dragon and the cloud-walking lynx in the mountain forest.
Lu Xuan turned the dough over and sprinkled on the boiled monster oil, spices, and seasonings. The fragrance became more intense. The belly of the young wind falcon contracted and expanded nervously. The cloud-walking lynx walked next to it pretending not to care. As he walked away, his green eyes never left the grilled fish.
"Come, come, freshly baked fish."
Several pieces of silvery white fragments flew out, cutting the grilled fish into more than ten parts. Lu Xuan threw one portion to the second and the younger, and grabbed a large portion himself, and ate happily.
"Bah!"
A familiar chirping sound came, and a white Luan bird appeared in the courtyard.
Lu Xuan looked at the elegant Xuantian Bailuan, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"I haven't even told you since I moved, and you just showed up on your own, you greedy devil."
"Hey, you brought a friend?"
Lu Xuan was pleasantly surprised when a small and exquisite ape walked out slowly, following closely behind the Luan Bird, occasionally glancing at Lu Xuan and the fragrant grilled fish in front of him.
"Come and try the new dishes."
Lu Xuan tore off two pieces of fish meat and threw them to the Luan Bird and the little ape respectively.
His mind was focused on the ape, and a thought flashed through his mind.
[The White Jade Sky Ape is a third-grade monster and the protector of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The body contains the blood of the ancient beast Qingtian Yuansheng, and has the potential to grow into a seventh-level monster. 】
[By nature, he is fierce and aggressive, violent and irritable, and his strength is greatly enhanced after entering the berserk state. 】
【I want this day, no longer can it cover my eyes. 】
