I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 474 - 472: Qingwei Jade Lock_1
Chapter 474: Chapter 472: Qingwei Jade Lock_1
“A new spirit brew has emerged, finally a change of taste,”
Lu Xuan was elated. Until now, the only beverage available for guests and personal use in his cave dwelling was the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice. This arrival of the Jade Wash Spirit Dew filled a gap and enriched the types of spirit brews.
“It would be even better if a recipe is produced,”
Lu Xuan looked at the remaining Jade Dew fruits hidden among the branches, his tone filled with anticipation.
Ten Jade Dew Fruit plants had been commissioned by the Dan Palace for him to plant. Each spirit plant bore four to five spirit fruits, totaling forty-six.
Based on past experiences of generating light clusters, Lu Xuan felt that there was a good chance of getting the Jade Wash Spirit Dew recipe.
He took a small sip, a sense of coolness dipped from his throat down, swiftly flowing through his limbs, making his body instantly relaxed and his mind exceptionally clear.
“It can cleanse the impurities in the body, the effect is similar to the seeds of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus, extremely important for those cultivators who spend years outside dealing with demon envoys and evil cultivators,”
Lu Xuan silently sighed.
He looked at the other spirit fruits and saw that several of them would mature in a few days, so he wasn’t in a hurry to use the Qingmu Origin Energy to ripen them.
The day after harvesting a Jade Dew Fruit, Lu Xuan was cultivating spiritual plants when Baili Jianqing came to visit.
“You’re back? That’s good.”
Seeing him eased a small worry in Lu Xuan’s heart.
Baili Jianqing appeared worn and dusty, as if he hadn’t yet returned to his own cave dwelling. He had an air of excitement, clearly he had made considerable gains in the secret territory.
“Hehe, Brother Lu, I told you I’d be fine, didn’t I?”
Baili Jianqing said with a laugh.
“How was your exploration in the secret land? Did you encounter any danger?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously. He was cautious himself, but he was nevertheless interested in others’ exploration experiences.
“I joined several sect mates, we entered the Black Demon Abyss together. Even though we were among the more advanced cultivators heading there, we didn’t dare go too deep into the secret land and so we only acted in the outer areas,”
“We encountered numerous demon beasts and demon envoys, which we dispatched together. The most dangerous situation was when we encountered a demon envoy with near mid-stage foundation establishment strength. It took quite a few tricks to take it down. One of the disciples was seriously injured in the process and needed to rest for some time, so we took him back to the sect for treatment,”
“Of course, our harvests were greater. We chanced upon a fourth grade spirit mine, and everyone got a few pieces. There were also some demon beast and demon envoy materials which we plan to sell and divide amongst ourselves.”
Baili Jianqing didn’t hold back, and kept talking to Lu Xuan.
“From your tone, it seems like you are planning to go again?”
“Yes, we do have such a plan. We decided to take advantage of the trip back to the sect to resupply, prepare more magical talismans to deal with demon envoys and try to go deeper into the secret land next time.”
“Just be extra careful,”
Seeing the determination on Baili Jianqing’s face, Lu Xuan didn’t try to talk him out of it.
Able to encounter demons who posed a threat to the inner sect disciples on the outer circumference of the secret land, the chances of encountering stronger demons would only increase with further penetration.
Unfortunately, Baili Jianqing and the others were blinded by the various opportunities and treasures that kept them from realizing this risk.
“Brother Lu, you didn’t use your sword talisman, I’m returning it to you now.”
Baili Jianqing took out the fourth-grade Roaring Sea Sword Charm that Lu Xuan had given him.
“You keep it for now, you might encounter a situation where it’s needed,”
Lu Xuan casually said.
“It is your body protection talisman, it’s not right for it to be with me all the time.”
Although Baili Jianqing was reluctant to part with such a powerful and rare sword talisman, he was clear that the sword talisman belonged to Lu Xuan and it wasn’t appropriate to hold onto it for the long term.
“In any case, I don’t have plans to leave the Sect and explore the Secret Land. It might even be useful for you to keep if the need arises.”
In Lu Xuan’s hands were over ten fourth-grade Sword Talismans. A new batch of Sword Nurturing Gourds would be maturing soon, yielding a good profit. Therefore, he wasn’t particularly concerned about this Sword Talisman.
“But…”
“Don’t hesitate, you can have it.”
“If you really feel guilty about it, you can repay me with any unknown Spirit Plant seeds you encounter in the future.”
Lu Xuan interrupted Baili Jianqing’s words, speaking in an unquestionable tone.
“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony with Brother Lu.”
“If I come across any unknown spirit seeds in the Secret Land, I’ll try my best to bring them back for Brother Lu.”
Baili Jianqing loved this Roaring Sea Sword Charm and seeing Lu Xuan’s insistence, he made no pretense of modesty, putting it away in his storage bag, promising Lu Xuan with a determined tone. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
“Bear in mind, they should be varieties that are not commonly seen in the Sect or Cultivation World. I don’t want the common ones.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
Once Baili Jianqing left, he went to the Spirit Field and began a new day as a Spirit Plant Master.
After properly cultivating the many Spirit Plants, Lu Xuan went to the area where the Jade Dew Fruits were planted.
He focused his mind on each Spirit Fruit, discovering that two Jade Dew Fruits had ripened.
He carefully plucked the first one and examined it with his Spiritual Sense, finding it to be of ordinary quality.
[Harvested one third-grade Jade Dew Fruit, you have gained a Fourth Grade Spirit Brew, Jade Wash Spirit Dew.]
A cluster of clear, crystalline liquid like jade appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.
Lu Xuan put them into a small jade bottle, alongside the other Spirit Dews he had obtained previously, and carefully plucked the second Jade Dew Fruit.
“Ah, a good quality Spirit Fruit.”
Lu Xuan looked at the Jade Dew Fruit in his hand and spoke to himself with slight surprise.
This made him look forward to the rewards of the light cluster behind this Spirit Fruit even more.
He reached out and gently touched the quietly appearing white light cluster.
The light cluster silently shattered, countless tiny points of light condensed into a lock and flowed into Lu Xuan’s body.
A thought emerged from his mind.
[Harvested one third-grade Jade Dew Fruit, received fourth-grade treasure Qingwei Jade Lock.]
As the thought passed, a jade lock appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.
The lock was slightly larger than his palm and was pure white all over. Its surface was marked with many complex and intricate Spirit Runes, exuding an aura of profound mystery, with light bursts from time to time.
Lu Xuan concentrated his thoughts on the lock and immediately understood its details.
[Qingwei Jade Lock, Fourth-Grade Treasure. It is engraved with numerous prohibitory runes that can variably change, which can lock a target within a certain range once the lock is energized with Spiritual Power. It has reduced effects on Golden Core Real People and Fifth Rank Demon Beasts, it can only slow their actions.]
[The lock has a very strong restraining effect on Evil Cultivators, even those equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage calamity-level cultivators can be restrained for a few breaths.]
“Fourth-grade treasure that can lock a target, restrict its actions, and is more effective against Evil Cultivators.”
Lu Xuan tinkered with the Jade Lock in his hand, studying it from various angles, then channeling his spiritual power into it. With a movement of his mind, the jade lock transformed into a strand of clear light and disappeared.
Not far away, the Fat Bird, who was intending to sneak out and meet the Green-feathered Falcon, suddenly felt something cold around its neck. It was as if it had instantly lost control of its limbs and the Spiritual Power within its body and it could only stand there stupefied.
