Chapter 858: Kong Chanmu's First Time
"After practicing for many years, plus the little bit of cultivation bonus brought by the light ball, I finally succeeded in breaking through to the late stage of Jindan."
Lu Xuan's mouth curled up.
"It took nearly forty years from the first promotion to the late stage of Jindan."
"In addition to the thirty years from the second level of Qi training to the pre-Jiangdan stage, in just seventy years, I grew from a small Qi training casual cultivator to the late stage of Jindan."
He was filled with emotion.
"This speed of improvement is not much worse than those innate Dao bodies or the reincarnation of great powers."
The road of cultivation, from Qi training to foundation building, to Jindan, and even every breakthrough after Jindan, requires many hardships.
But for Lu Xuan, everything seems so natural.
It seems that breaking through is as simple as eating and drinking.
"In addition to my own hard work and practice, the light ball also played a little help to get to where I am today."
He thought shamelessly.
"After digesting and absorbing it, we can start to contact Senior Spirit of Treasure Tower."
"I miss that incomplete cave day and night."
"Of course, it's not just for this, it's mainly because I haven't seen Senior Spirit of Treasure for a long time and I miss him very much."
"In addition, I have to prepare for matters related to the Nascent Soul."
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
He planned to start from two aspects.
The first is to collect rare treasures that can increase the probability of forming a Nascent Soul. Among the many high-level spiritual plants currently cultivated, one or two may be able to bloom.
The second is the subsequent way to increase cultivation in case of a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.
It can be foreseen that after the Nascent Soul, the cultivation reward brought by the Ice Firefly Grass will be greatly reduced, so it is particularly important to find a new substitute.
However, Lu Xuan guessed that the fifth-grade Yuanling Ginseng currently planted in the spiritual field is likely to perfectly replace the Ice Firefly Grass.
Thinking in his heart, he focused on the other treasures.
More than 80 light balls, more than 20 of which brought cultivation rewards, allowing Lu Xuan's cultivation to increase by more than 60 years.
After he refined the seventh-grade Glazed Red Phoenix Bone, his bones had improved significantly compared to before, so the sixty-plus years of cultivation had a greater impact on him.
There were about sixty light balls left, among which twenty-four fourth-grade Ice Soul Pills, twenty-eight fourth-grade Ice Marrow Spirit Brew, and nine Ice Marrow Spirit Brew formula experience packs were opened.
After absorbing the experience packs, Lu Xuan's level of brewing this fourth-grade spirit brew was further improved, and the success rate was terrifying, and the quality was much higher than other fourth-grade spirit brews on the market.
The remaining twenty-odd ice firefly grasses were naturally used to condense spirit seeds so that he could get stable cultivation rewards.
After breaking through to the Jindan realm, Lu Xuan did not feel complacent about it, but patrolled the spirit field as usual, checking all the spirit plants one by one.
During this period, he encountered a grass puppet with arrow vines hanging on his shoulders, so he took out a spirit grass bead from his storage bag and stuffed it into the gray tumor on the grass puppet's huge head.
Seeing the grass puppet's body rapidly turning green, Lu Xuan was satisfied and continued to check the other spiritual plants.
A relatively remote spiritual field.
In the pink miasma, the demon ghost vine differentiated into many gray tentacles, which kept wriggling.
"After the fairy peach matured many times, the time it took to produce spiritual peaches became longer and longer, and the number became less and less. It is estimated that it has almost reached the limit of this spiritual plant."
Lu Xuan looked at the pink and white spiritual peaches that were looming in the pink miasma and couldn't help sighing.
After all, the fairy peach was only a third-grade spiritual plant. It had been harvested many times and it was impossible to live forever.
During this period, he planned to study the method of condensing the spiritual peach to see if this unique spiritual fruit could be improved into a higher-grade spiritual plant.
Just thinking about it, suddenly, a silver-white light flashed in his eyes.
Lu Xuan was sharp-eyed and saw at a glance that the light was the afterimage left by a Ganoderma lucidum.
The Ganoderma lucidum was silver-white, and its rhizomes were like strange long legs, dancing at a very fast frequency and at an amazing speed.
"Fei Lei Zhi escaped from prison again, where is Lei Long Hou?"
As Lu Xuan was thinking, another silver-white light flashed by.
Rays of lightning surged from Lei Long Hou's body, and he followed closely behind the sixth-grade Fei Lei Zhi.
Although Fei Lei Zhi had an extremely fast speed and was about to mature, according to common sense, it should be much faster than Lei Long Hou, which was still just a cub.
But Lei Long Hou was not an ordinary spirit beast, with a special bloodline, and was born with the secret method of thunder escape. Even though its growth rate was much slower than Fei Lei Zhi, it still suppressed it tightly.
After a few breaths, Lu Xuan saw Lei Long Hou holding the silver-white Ganoderma lucidum and entering the restriction set by Lu Xuan.
In order to let Fei Lei Zhi release its nature, Lu Xuan did not deliberately strengthen the restrictions he set casually, giving it ample opportunities to escape.
Anyway, there was a sixth-grade Wanzhang Xuanjing formation in the cave, and Lei Long Hou was keeping a close watch on it, so there was no need to worry about it escaping.
Of course, the attraction of the two seventh-grade Yimu Qinglei vines to Fei Leizhi cannot be ignored.
"Even if the cave is opened, with Fei Leizhi's character, he can't bear to give up the two Yimu Qinglei vines."
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
"Hmm? The Kongchan wood has grown for the first time?"
When he came to the core spiritual field, Lu Xuan noticed that the Kongchan wood, which had been planted for less than two years, had obvious changes.
The tree was less than three feet tall, and faint cracks suddenly emerged on the translucent trunk.
The cracks spread silently and bulged slightly outward, as if something inside wanted to get out.
"Is this... the first molting of the Kongchan wood? Does it mean that this strange spiritual wood that can grow has officially become a first-grade spiritual plant?"
Lu Xuan carefully observed the strange spiritual plant that he accidentally got at the auction.
A normal non-grade spiritual plant, nourished by the pure spiritual energy and fertile spiritual soil in the cave, may only take one or two months to mature.
However, it took more than a year for this Kongchan wood to shed its skin to become a first-grade spiritual plant.
"Perhaps it has a lot to do with the fact that Kongchan wood itself is a high-grade spiritual plant, or it is possible that molting is not equivalent to maturity in the ordinary sense."
While Lu Xuan was guessing, his spiritual sense sensed a translucent existence quietly drilling out of the crack, and the original bark and trunk fell to the ground like dried cicada wings, breaking into countless powders.
A white light ball quietly emerged, flickering slightly.
"Is this the first time so silent?"
Lu Xuan smiled and reached out to touch the white light ball gently.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Kongchan wood sheds its skin to become a first-grade spiritual plant, and harvests the second-grade treasure Hidden Cicada Shell. 】
The thought disappeared, and a huge translucent cicada shell appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.
The cicada shell is extremely hidden, and it will be overlooked if you are not careful.
"When was the last time I got a second-grade treasure?"
Lu Xuan remembered that he had not opened a second-grade treasure for many years. Looking at the huge cicada shell in his hand, an absurd idea emerged in his mind.
His mind focused on it, and he immediately learned detailed information about the cicada shell.
[The hidden cicada shell, a second-grade treasure, comes from the body of a low-level rare insect, the hidden spirit cicada, which has a very good concealment ability. It can be refined into a magic weapon similar to a gauze dress to enhance its concealment effect. 】
