You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 735: Xun Feng Palace, Demonic Vine Breakthrough

The seedling was what he obtained from betting on stones in the Happy Star Cave, a Seventh Grade from the Eightfold Palace.

At this moment, the outer area of the seedling was blooming with a phantom Spirit Flower, its petals encircling each other as if forming a small microcosm.

Inside, strange winds surged, gentle breezes brushed by, and fierce winds swept through, the different patterns of strange winds sometimes merging, sometimes separating, lingering in that small world.

Lu Xuan looked at the phantom Spirit Flower being stirred by these strange winds, his face showing puzzlement while his mind focused on the young seedling.

[Eightfold Palace, Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, nurtured by the Origin Qi of Cave Heaven.]

[It has now grown to the First Layer, Xun Feng Palace, needing treasures of Strange Wind and Spirit Wind to nourish it, to promote the growth of the Spirit Plant, allowing the Spirit Flower to turn from illusion to reality.]

“Has this Seventh Grade Spirit Plant entered the first stage?”

Lu Xuan understood in his heart.

“Xun Feng Palace, the first layer of the Eightfold Palace, requires nourishment from Spirit Wind and Strange Wind treasures.”@@@@

“I wonder what Light Cluster rewards the maturity of the first layer will bring.”

He thought to himself.

In his view, like the E-Mu Green Thunder Vine, a same Seventh Grade year-classified Spirit Plant, the harvested Light Clusters had a progressive relationship; the further it went, the more substantial the rewards.

The Light Clusters of this Eightfold Palace likely followed an equal relationship; each layer of the Spirit Flower blooming might not differ much in the treasures rewarded.

Of course, this was just a guess he made based on the characteristics of the Spirit Plant, and the specifics had to be verified after the Spirit Plant had matured.

“For a Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, ordinary Spirit Wind and Strange Wind treasures probably won’t sustain it for long. It’s best to get a high-rank treasure item no lower than Fifth Rank.”

Treasures of Fourth Rank and below had limited promotional effects for treasures in the realm of Nascent Soul, likely only having a slight impact initially.

Lu Xuan, now financially affluent and supported by the powerful backing of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, did not worry about obtaining Fifth Rank wind-related treasure items.

He performed the Spirit Rain Technique and Wood Birth Technique to moisten the Eightfold Palace seedling, then continued to inspect various Spirit Fields around, examining the detailed status of each Spirit Plant.

The more than twenty Ice Glow Grasses left earlier had successfully condensed seeds, and Lu Xuan extracted over a hundred pale blue Spirit Seeds, chilling to the touch, from the slender leaves and stored them in his Storage Bag.

With a little more processing, the Spirit Seeds could be planted into the Spirit Soil, beginning a new cycle of cultivation.

He could now steadily obtain plenty of Ice Glow Grass Spirit Seeds, no longer having to endure the daunting times of cultivating for two or three years to harvest a few Cultivation Level Light Clusters.

Amidst the Pink Miasma, the body of the Demonic Vine was swelling continuously, and thick green-gray vines surged out rapidly, flailing wildly like tentacles.

A few breaths later, it formed a huge vine jungle.

The countless vines greedily absorbed the pure and rich spiritual energy inside the cave abode, instantly forming a spiritual energy whirlpool around it, continuously drawing in the spiritual energy as well as the vitality of plants and trees.

Myriad tentacles continued to contract, forming a large gray-green sphere.

The sphere became increasingly dense and solid, gathering a rich essence of plant spiritual energy within.

As time passed, only to hear a loud boom.

The gray-green vines exploded into the sky, frantically dancing in the air, covering the sky and blocking the sun.

Shortly thereafter, they quickly retracted, merging with each other until only a giant dragon-like gray-green vine remained on the open ground.

Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the significantly changed body of the Demonic Vine, and suddenly a thought emerged in his mind.

[Demonic Vine, Sixth Grade Monster Variant Spirit Plant, evolved from generation to generation from Strange Ghost Vine, feeds on Spirit Plants and Spiritual Seeds, possessing an extremely sharp ability to detect Spiritual Seeds.]

[Master of various Wood-Related Techniques, possesses a strong proliferating ability, can divide into thousands, and its vitality is undying.]

“To think it has broken through to a Sixth Grade Monster Variant Spirit Plant!”

Lu Xuan showed a look of astonishment.

This Demonic Vine was something he had gotten by chance during an exploration in a Blessed Land of the Sky Sword Sect decades ago, accompanying him for many years, helping him find numerous high-grade Spirit Seeds, achieving significant merits.

Due to its half-monster, half-plant nature, its growth rate was much slower than other Five-Quality Spirit Plants.

In the cave abode, numerous mature Spiritual Plants abounded, the most prime parts of which Lu Xuan took, while the remaining parts of the Spiritual Plants, though not as essential as the essence of Spirit Fruits and Spirit Flowers, also possessed rich vitality, serving as excellent nourishment for the Demonic Vine.

Combined with his frequent feeding of rare Spirit Fruits and a variety of Spirit Brews, and the fact that the Demonic Vine itself was a strange species, it had managed to break through to the Sixth Grade on this day.

“Not bad, not bad at all.”

Lu Xuan took out a Thunderstorm Lotus Seed and threw it onto the huge gray-green vine.

With the improved rank of the Demonic Vine, its ability to search for Spiritual Seeds would naturally be greatly enhanced; it deserved a good reward first.
