Chapter 635: Ice Marrow Spirit Brew
Returning to his room, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed, contemplating which of those Fifth Rank treasures to refine into magic artifacts.
After reaching Core Formation, the Pill Fire within the Golden Core could be used to refine and consecrate magic artifacts, integrating them into a cultivator’s body to become Magic Treasures.
Magic Treasures are divided into three levels: high, mid, and low; among them, Fifth and Sixth Grade magical instruments can be consecrated into low-grade magical treasures, and so on.
Among the dozen or so Fifth Rank treasures that Lu Xuan had acquired, not every item was suitable to be consecrated into a Magic Treasure; he was clear about their properties the moment he obtained them.
He could not possibly consecrate each Fifth Rank treasure into a Magic Treasure; after all, doing so would consume too much mental effort and Pill Fire, not to mention time and energy. With his current Spiritual Sense, he also could not manipulate too many Magic Treasures at the same time.
After much thought, he decided to first consecrate two of the Fifth Rank treasures into Magic Treasures, specifically the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and the Peacock King Sword.
One was a spatial treasure item, which was extremely useful for him as a Spirit Plant Master; the other was currently his most powerful method and, given its significant origin, had a relatively higher chance of successful consecration.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As for the rest, such as the Wan Hui Banner, Nanming Separation Fire Web, and Nine-Headed Dragon Map, he would keep them for the time being to either continue using them or find an opportunity to sell them.
He did not reject mystical plants of an evil nature, but when it came to treasures of an evil nature, especially techniques, he still had some aversion to them.
It was possibly a habit formed over decades with the Sky Sword Sect, coupled with the fact that techniques from the Evil Path often required large-scale slaughter during their creation, employing extremely sinister and malevolent methods, and posed certain risks during cultivation.
Therefore, after obtaining the Sixth Grade Technique “Blood God Scripture” and the Divine Ability “Soul-Stealing Blood Palm”, he had not yet attempted to cultivate them until now, out of concern for potential risks of mutation.
“Techniques and Divine Abilities are nothing to worry about; after all, I still have so many Fifth and Sixth Grade Spiritual Plants about to mature,” thought Lu Xuan optimistically.
The impact of advancing to the Core Formation stage was greater than he had imagined. In the following days, cultivators regularly visited his abode to make his acquaintance.
Lu Xuan warmly entertained each visitor, using the opportunity to meet quite a few Golden Core Real People.
Gradually, the number of visiting cultivators dwindled, and eventually his life returned to its usual calm pace.
Day by day, he cultivated spiritual plants, raised spirit beasts, and seized the opportunity afforded by a great increase in comprehension to ponder over the “Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method”, slowly coming to grasp some of its essence.
A month flew by in a blink, and Lu Xuan went to the Spirit Field, looking at the more than ten stalks of Ice Firefly Grass covered in a thin layer of frost at his feet.
Previously, in order to break through to the Core Formation, he had slightly hastened the maturity of the plants with Qingmu Origin Energy. After some time passed, four more stalks of Ice Firefly Grass were fully matured.
“Cool to the core, uplifting to the heart!”
Such a phrase involuntarily flashed through his mind.
“The Spirit Brew is sweet with a hint of tartness, and the Ice Marrow Jade inside has been treated in a special way, giving it a soft and sandy texture. It tastes quite good,” he said in a brief review.
The last light cluster brought a new reward.
[You’ve harvested a third-grade Ice Firefly Grass and obtained the recipe for fourth-grade Ice Marrow Spirit Brew.]
As the thought flashed through his mind, a wealth of information poured in, quickly filling Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
“The various ice-attributed spirit fruits used to brew the Ice Marrow Spirit Brew, as well as their processing, pairing, dosages, and so on. Also, how to treat the Ice Marrow Jade to maintain the best flavor when merged with the brew...”
“Better to teach someone to fish than to give them a fish. Giving me the brewing recipe for the Ice Marrow Spirit Brew, indeed, it’s a great light cluster,” he thought.
A single bottle of Ice Marrow Spirit Brew wouldn’t last long for him, but with the recipe, it was different—he could brew it independently.
From now on, another type of Spirit Brew would join the usual offerings in his Cave Abode: Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, Jade Wash Spirit Dew, Ice Marrow Spirit Brew. Perhaps with more varieties, he might even consider opening a Spirit Brew Shop.
“And then there’s that White Ape’s request for the Heart Ape Fruit, I wonder if it will yield their unique recipe for Monkey Wine,” Lu Xuan mused.
With the seventeen Ice Firefly Grasses, having harvested three previously, and now four, ten remained.
Of these, a few must be kept as seeding spirit plants, to accumulate more spiritual seeds and gradually enhance his cultivation level.
“The quantity of Ice Glow Grass Spirit Seed is still too little. In the future, I no longer need to harvest the Water Glow Grass, as neither cultivation rewards nor treasure items are of much use to me at the moment,” he reflected.
“If I use them all for seed condensing, although the likelihood of improved Ice Glow Grass Spiritual Seeds through enhancement stimulation is not great, it can significantly shorten the period of early deficiency in spiritual seed supply,” Lu Xuan thought to himself.
At this moment, his need for Ice Firefly Grass Spiritual Seeds had reached a peak.
After all, given his aptitude, once he reached the Nascent Soul Stage, his internal spiritual power would hardly change even after many days of cultivation; his entire cultivation level was almost entirely dependent on the Ice Firefly Grass spiritual plants.
