Chapter 521: The Blood Scourge Flower Matures
"Sister Guan, you are too kind. As the saying goes, ‘a slow sparrow should make an early start’. Having interacted with spiritual plants every day for so long, even if my talent for cultivating them is subpar, I’m bound to make some progress.”
Lu Xuan humbly replied.
"Junior Brother Lu, there’s no need to be so modest.”
Guan Wan gave a soft smile.
"That’s right, for the thirty mature third-grade Primordial Essence herbs, according to the rules we set, the reward is ten Sword Marks for each.”
"For the high-quality ones, it will be twenty Sword Marks each, and the top-quality ones will get an additional ten. Perfect ones follow this pattern onwards.”
"That counts up to a total of 450 Sword Marks, Junior Brother Lu, please take a look.”
As Guan Wan finished speaking, a small pile of Sword Marks flowed and floated towards Lu Xuan.
"The Sword Marks are all accounted for.”
Having scanned over these with his Spiritual Sense, Lu Xuan nodded.
"Junior Brother Lu has worked hard, nurturing so many high-grade spiritual plants for the Dan Palace. It must have cost you much of your usual cultivation time, not to mention a great deal of potential alchemy time.”
Guan Wan said softly.
"It’s no sacrifice at all when it comes to the things I truly love,”
Lu Xuan returned, smiling slightly.
"Moreover, as I cultivated these plants, before I knew it, I’ve reached the Foundation Establishment Late-term Realm. My alchemy progress has also been swift. On Foundation Establishment Pills, I’ve made small progress.”
He added these words in his mind.
"If Junior Brother Lu is interested in cultivating Primordial Essence herbs and other spirit plants for the Dan Palace in the future, just let me know. As soon as the Agricultural Department Hall has enough Spiritual Seeds in reserve, I’ll send them over to you.”
"Of course, I am certainly willing.”
Lu Xuan immediately replied.
"Cultivating Spiritual Plants after all is a minor realm. You must not neglect your own cultivation and waste your talent for alchemy,” Guan Wan cautioned gently.
Lu Xuan knew she meant well, but he couldn’t exactly tell her that his cultivation level and alchemy experience were all gained from the rewards he received upon maturing the spirit plants. So, he could only nod and agree.
"Due to the consumption of elixirs by the sect being faster than usual lately, aiding in the production of certain types of elixirs will yield significant rewards. If you’re interested, Junior Brother Lu, you could come by the Dan Palace more often.”
"Thanks for the reminder, Sister Guan.”
"Finally, it’s fully matured!!”
He focused on the Hollow Blood Ball, saw that the progress bar at the bottom of the intertwined blood vessels was completely full.
"The first matured five-quality spiritual plant!”
Lu Xuan felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.
Back when he had just established his foundation, he accidentally exchanged for a Blood Ball Seed at a small treasure exchange event hosted by Fire Scale Child. It was only after planting it that he found out it was a fifth-grade Blood Sin Flower.
To meet the growth needs of the Blood Sin Flower, Lu Xuan repeatedly performed blood tests on the Flood Dragons in the Thousand Dragon Lake, and after more than ten years, he finally successfully cultivated this fifth-quality spiritual plant.
The thin blood vessels on the Hollow Blood Ball in front of him were collapsing from the inside out, turning into small blood red objects that melted into the infinite sea of blood inside the ball.
Like triggering a chain-reacting effect, the blood vessels were collapsing faster and faster, gradually revealing the surging sea of blood inside.
In the end, a blood-colored area quietly appeared in the courtyard, with spiritual powers surging back and forth like the tide. Right in the center stood a proud blood-colored flower.
Around the flower was a faint mist of blood, making the flower look even more coquettish and enchanting.
From a distance, one could smell a faint scent of blood coming from the flower.
Lu Xuan slowly approached the blood-colored flower, came closer, and felt the blood in his body surging as if it wanted to burst out and merge into this blood-colored flower.
He took a deep breath, adjusted the spiritual power inside his body, suppressed the unusual feelings from his body, and gently plucked off the blood-colored flower.
In an instant, the blood mist rapidly converged, becoming a few light red dewdrops, constantly sliding on the blood-red petals.
Lu Xuan focused on the blood-colored flower in his hand.
[Blood Sin Flower, fifth rank spiritual plant, an exotic flower condensed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, cultivated from the essence blood of all kinds of demon beasts, it is an excellent spiritual medicine for cultivating the Blood Path technique. Also it can be used as the main ingredient in some high-grade elixirs.]
"Fifth-grade spiritual plant, hehe.”
Lu Xuan chuckled, looking at the white light group that had quietly appeared at some point in front of him.
He suppressed his internal expectations and carefully touched the surface of the light group.
The light group silently shattered, countless red and white sparkling points burst out and condensed into a blood-colored jade book shadow, which instantly merged into Lu Xuan’s body.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[You have harvested one Blood Sin Flower of the fifth rank and a sixth-grade cultivation technique “Blood God Nerve”.]
