Chapter 353: Summoning Thunder, Starlight Sword Grass Ripens
The burly cultivator held two Thunderstones in his hands, each the size of a baby's head, shining silver-white with a vast expanse inside, seemingly containing boundless thunderous power.
To obtain a Thunderstone of such size in exchange for a single fourth-grade Enchantment Pill, Lu Xuan was overjoyed beyond measure.
Treasures imbued with thunderous power were extremely rare in the cultivation world. Lu Xuan had been keeping an eye out for a long time but hadn't found anything similar. Therefore, the piece of fourth-grade Fallen Thunder Wood had not been carefully cultivated. It was merely nurtured in the spirit soil, occasionally stimulated by the Purple Lightning Sword to sustain its vitality.
With a fourth-grade Thunderstone, even using just one of them would be more than enough to cultivate the Fallen Thunder Wood. Furthermore, they could still be used for refining artifacts or exchanged with other cultivators.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhong," Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude.
"This is what you deserve, Junior Brother Lu," in Zhong Hao's eyes, these Snarling Shadow Beasts were far more valuable than fourth-grade spiritual ores. Lu Xuan had helped him extract the lust-feeding insects from the bodies of the beasts and even went as far as to find ways to allow them to reproduce normally. He didn't hesitate to use rare pills, so using two Thunderstones as a reward was more than appropriate.
After resolving the issue of the Snarling Shadow Beasts devouring each other, the three of them arrived at a simple and spacious stone house. Amidst the cries of various strange birds and beasts around them, they discussed their insights on beast taming.
Having immersed himself in this for over a century, the burly cultivator was experienced and knowledgeable, effortlessly recalling information about various exotic beasts.
Although Lu Xuan had limited experience in raising spirit beasts, his understanding of each type of spirit beast he raised had reached the theoretical limit. He had also studied numerous relevant scriptures in the scripture pavilion, accumulating a vast amount of theoretical knowledge. Occasionally, a casual remark from him would enlighten Zhong Hao, leaving him amazed.
One had breadth of knowledge, the other had depth. Through their exchange, they both learned a lot.
After almost two hours of discussion, Lu Xuan bid farewell to Zhong Hao and Liu Su, returning to his own cave residence.
He retrieved the Thunderstone from his storage pouch and went to the area where he kept the Fallen Thunder Wood.
A seemingly inconspicuous piece of withered wood was inserted into the spirit soil, mostly exposed, with charred marks scattered around, stringing together like lightning patterns.
As Lu Xuan's spiritual energy surged, the Thunderstone flew above the withered Fallen Thunder Wood. He casually arranged a small prohibition, keeping the Thunderstone hovering motionless in the air.
The Fallen Thunder Wood below seemed to be attracted by the thunderous power inside the Thunderstone. The charred parts crackled as the special vitality contained within burst out vigorously.
Under the unknown aura's guidance, the Thunderstone flashed with thunderous light, and a tiny bolt of lightning struck directly at the center of the Fallen Thunder Wood.
The lightning divided and rushed down from top to bottom, wisps of white light emerging on the charred wood.
In Lu Xuan's perception, the charred wood exuded an unprecedentedly rich vitality, enjoying the might of the thunder.
"It truly lives up to its name as the Perilous Poison Body. Its ability to refine and absorb toxins is remarkably strong. Just by ingesting two Corpse Flame Pills, it displays significant power," Lu Xuan couldn't help but marvel at the larva's capacity to harness poison.
After feeding the Heart-Devouring Insect, Lu Xuan returned to his dwelling.
After confirming that all the array formations and restrictions in the cave were activated, he retrieved two peculiar eyes from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The eyeballs spun around as if imbued with life, with numerous nearly transparent tentacles floating around their edges.
These were the peculiar eyes he had plucked from the mature Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood.
Lu Xuan sealed the mature tree trunk and placed it back into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
His eyes widened as a faint spiritual light appeared on the surface of his pupils, drawing one of the peculiar eyes from his brow into them.
In an instant, he seemed to see countless phantom eyes appearing all around him, opening and closing, all staring fixedly at him.
Lu Xuan activated the Illusion Breaking Eye Technique, and a powerful suction force emanated from the depths of his eye sockets, absorbing all the phantom eyes.
Upon opening his eyes, Lu Xuan used the Water Mirror Technique, seeing numerous fine tentacles-like entities swimming in the whites of his eyes.
The eyes from the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood harbored sinister spiritual power, requiring corresponding talismans, techniques, elixirs, or other methods to dispel.
Lu Xuan cast a purification spell on his own eyes, instantly restoring their clarity.
As for the remaining eye, he tossed it to the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, and stood guard nearby, waiting for it to digest the eye before dealing with its aftermath.
The Illusion Breaking Eye Technique could dispel illusions, while the peculiar eyes of the Cloud-Stepping Lynx could perceive malevolent spirits, making them both useful for enhancing vision with the peculiar eyes from the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood.
For the next period of time, life remained as calm as water, with no disturbances.
Every day, Lu Xuan cultivated spiritual plants, nurtured spiritual beasts, and spent the rest of his time practicing martial arts, occasionally meeting with acquaintances from the sect to catch up.
"The Starlight Sword Grass has matured!"
On this day, he arrived at the spiritual field area where he had planted the Sword Grass, and at a glance, he saw that the translucent progress bar beneath the Starlight Sword Grass was fully filled.
