Chapter 41: Chapter 40 Phantom Smoke Luo Fruit l

Translator: 549690339

After rewarding the Cloud Leopard, Lu Xuan took out the mist-like special spiritual seed from his storage bag.

He found a vacant area in his Spirit Field, used the Earth Pulling Technique so that the spirit soil formed a suitable crack, and placed the misty spiritual seed into it.

Then, his spiritual sense converged on the seed within the spirit soil.

An idea appeared in his mind.

“Phantom Smoke Fruit, a third-grade Spirit Plant. Once matured, its spirit fruit can quicken the speed of Illusion Technique cultivation and enhance the power of formula methods.”

“It can also be used to feed demon beasts with related abilities or concoct certain special elixirs.”

“During the growth process of the Spirit Plant, it will continuously produce smoke. After a long period, it may even form a low-level Illusion Realm, with the Spirit Plant hiding within it, making its location difficult to discern.”

“I am right before your eyes, why can’t you find me?”

Details about the spiritual seed and its current state flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.

“A third-grade spirit plant, I’ve hit the jackpot this time!”

Lu Xuan happily processed the information that appeared in his mind.

A Third Grade, that would be entering the Foundation Establishment Category.

Up until now, the best Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field are two second grade ones, which are Sword Grass and Dark Marrow Mushroom.

Other Spirit Plants like the Blood Jade Ginseng, Red Cloud Pine, and Pure Snow Lotus are first grade, and there are even dozens of Spontaneous Grass which are of no rank.

The two second-grade spirit plants and the Phantom Smoke Fruit were acquired in the same way. They are unknown spiritual seeds that were screened out and successfully planted with the assistance of information revealed by their current states.

If it wasn’t for this magical ability, even if he acquired unknown spiritual seeds, he would be at a loss, not knowing what to do.

After implanting the Phantom Smoke Fruit spiritual seed, Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense perceives threads of extremely faint smoke seeping out of the seed, too faint for the naked eye to see clearly.

“Once it grows a bit bigger and produces more smoke, it will probably play hide and seek with me, but since I can see the real-time state of the Spirit Plant, I don’t need to worry about not finding it.”

Lu Xuan used the Spirit Rain Technique towards the spiritual seed, secretly considering this.

After planting the Phantom Smoke Fruit spiritual seed and learning its characteristics, Lu Xuan went to other areas in the Spirit Field to examine the growth conditions of the various Spirit Plants.

In the Red Cloud Pine, the size of the five pine nuts has grown by a bit, steadily approaching maturity.

Lu Xuan held considerable expectations for this first-grade Spirit Plant. He didn’t know what kind of light cluster reward a first-grade Spirit Plant like the Spirit Firefly Grass or Moon Erosion Fruit, which were of no rank, could bring.

The Sword Grass and Dark Marrow Mushroom are also growing well, but it seems that they are still a long way from maturity.

The spirit soil around the Sword Grass has been plowed into many small trenches by the sword intent, making it even more edgy.

The dark red hyphae extended from the Dark Marrow Mushroom has thoroughly enveloped the decayed spiritual wood, absorbing nutrients from the decayed wood at a noticeably faster speed than before. Lu Xuan estimated it wouldn’t take long before he would need to replace the decayed wood again.

The Pure Snow Lotus is proud and upright in the Spiritual Spring Pond; several pieces of its leaves, pure as jade, have quietly bloomed unlike their tender state when they just sprouted.

After more than ten Spirit Firefly Grass matured initially, they rapidly entered the fast maturing stage.

Lu Xuan examined them all and collected ten completely mature Spirit Firefly Grass.

The remaining dozens can also be picked, but they have not fully matured. Afraid to impact the light cluster rewards, Lu Xuan decided to leave them be for now.

Among the ten Spirit Firefly Grass, two were of perfect grade quality, five of good quality, and three of superior quality.

“Harvest a Spirit Firefly Grass, earn six months of cultivation progress.”*!

“Harvest a Spirit Firefly Grass, earn nine months of cultivation progress.”

“Harvest a Spirit Firefly Grass, earn a year of cultivation progress.”

Among the ten, four white light clusters brought cultivational progress rewards.

One wave after another, spiritual power soared in Lu Xuan’s body. He quickly circulated it, controlling the spiritual power until it gradually subsided.

“An increase of nearly three years worth of cultivation in an instant, farming is indeed fascinating…”

Lu Xuan sighed leisurely.

“Harvest a Spirit Firefly Grass, earn a First Grade Talisman Sword Qi.”*3

“Harvested one Spirit Firefly Grass, obtained a First Grade Evil Banishing Talisman.”

“Harvested one Spirit Firefly Grass, obtained the Wood Generation Technique.”

Four talismans successively appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.

Though a First Grade Talisman is only effective against mid- to lower-level Qi Cultivators, and will hardly threaten high-level Qi Cultivators, with enough quantity and power, it’s not impossible to eliminate a high-level Qi Cultivator.

After absorbing the White Light Group containing the Wood Generation Technique, Lu Xuan’s understanding of it deepened, as if he had used it hundreds of times in an instant, he could now perform with more ease and grace. novelbuddy.(c)om

The last White Light Group was left by a piece of Perfect Grade Spirit Firefly Grass.

Lu Xuan picked it up and the Light Group turned into countless points of light, pouring into his Spiritual Sense.

Suddenly, a thought emerged from his Spiritual Sense.

“Harvested one Spirit Firefly Grass, obtained a prescription for the First Grade Qi-Nourishing Pill.”

“Another elixir recipe.”

Lu Xuan savored the information of the elixir recipe appearing in his mind, and instantly grasped the method of its concoction.

The types of materials, their quantity, how to process them, how to control the fire, the exact time to take out of the furnace…

Although he has yet to practice, he already has extensive experience in refining this First Grade Qi-Nourishing Pill.

“Added to the previous Yuan Cultivating Pill recipe, I now have two elixir recipes.”

“If I manage to absorb another Light Group that has an elixir recipe, to improve my brewing level to proficient or even masterful, I can try to make it in my spare time.”

Lu Xuan placed the ten harvested Spirit Firefly Grass into the jade box and put it into his Storage Bag.

According to the current maturity speed of the Spirit Firefly Grass, he estimated that he should return to ‘Bai Cao Tang’ in two or three days.

After checking his Spirit Field, Lu Xuan planned to return to his room for cultivation.

Upon seeing this, the Cloud Leopard from the side stopped playing with the red-bearded carp in the Spiritual Spring Pool, and it lightly tapped its foot on the ground like a fluff of cotton, elegantly tagging along behind Lu Xuan.

“Fellow Daoist, may we ask if you’re at home? We are deacons from the market.”

“The market has been infested with Demon Envoy, for the purpose of maintaining order, we are performing routine inspections, and we hope you would understand.”

Not long after, a voice echoed outside of the courtyard.

“Market deacons are conducting an inspection?”

Lu Xuan knew it was ill-advised to refuse, so, filled with uncertainty, he opened the yard door.

Outside the courtyard, stood three cultivators, all of them solemn; one was a Qi-Practising Fifth Level and the other two were at the Third Level.

“Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

Among the three men, the Qi Practicing Fifth Level Cultivator stood out, he greeted Lu Xuan as he appeared.

Lu Xuan nodded in acknowledgement, his expression solemn.

“I was wondering how the fellow Daoists will conduct the inspection?”

“We will use a magic artifact to search your premises, and at the same time cast an Exorcism Technique on you. We ask for your understanding.”

One of the Third Level Cultivators explained from behind.

“Casting the Exorcism Technique is acceptable, but a detailed search of my residence would be very inconvenient, after all, no one wants their privacy invaded.”

Lu Xuan gently refused. He didn’t mind the exorcism technique being cast on him, but he was not comfortable with them searching his residence, after all, he didn’t want others to see the rare spirit plants in his Spirit Field.

If there really was a Demon Envoy, an exorcism technique would be enough to detect it, there’s absolutely no need to search the house. Whether it’s the big families and powers in the market, or even his neighbour Wang Shan, Lu Xuan was sure that none of them would conduct a detailed search of their homes.

“If it really comes to that, I have no choice but to resort to this.”

Lu Xuan sighed softly and reached into his sleeve.

The three of them, seeing this, reacted as if facing a formidable enemy..
