“Of course, I wouldn't doubt you, Friend Lu.”

The middle-aged cultivator took two steps back under Lu Xuan's piercing gaze.

“I just want to understand more about your planting methods. After all, I did spend over thirty spirit stones on it.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan scoffed.

“Okay, let me ask you? Has the quality of the twenty Spirit Firefly Grass plants you picked improved?”

“Compared to before, there are two or three more of good quality, but the superior quality ones remain unchanged.

The middle-aged cultivator answered truthfully.

“Then isn't that it?”

“There are two or three more plants of ordinary quality turned good quality. This is with only a short time of meticulous cultivation. Given more time, the average quality will improve further.”

“Three more plants of good quality means you can earn nearly one more spirit stone. If you plant tens or hundreds of Spirit Firefly Grass, you can earn several spirit stones.”

-The Spirit Firefly Grass is a non-grade Spirit Plant which matures quickly. You can get three or four harvests a year. This way, you can recover the spirit stones you spent in just a few years.”

“Moreover, this method is effective for other spirit plants as well.”

“So, Friend Zhou, do you have any more doubts?”

After finishing his words, Lu Xuan paid no further attention to the middle-aged cultivator and left.

Not far away, he was stopped by him.

“Did I give up most of my cultivation time and spend so many spirit stones just to earn that little bit of spirit stones?”

“You must tell me the secret today. Otherwise, I won't let it go.”

He said fiercely, a hint of threat in his tone.

During this time, he hadn't been cultivating much. He had been focusing all his time on meticulously cultivating spirit plants.

He originally thought that he would get high-quality Spirit Firefly Grass. But the result disappointed him greatly, as the improvement was minimal.

A huge gap between expectations and reality led him to subconsciously believe that Lu Xuan had hidden something from him. Unable to hold back, he waited at Bai Cao Tang for Lu Xuan, hoping to pry the cultivating key out of him.

“I have explained everything clearly.”

Lu Xuan shook off his hand, subtly sliding a Million Swords Qi Talisman onto

his wrist.

“Giving up your cultivation time was your choice.

“I can assure you that my method is correct and effective. If you follow my instructions and meticulously cultivate the spirit plants over a long period of time, the average quality of your spirit plants will definitely improve.”

“As for whether you can get perfect quality Spirit Firefly Grass or other spirit plants, that depends on a Spirit Plant Master's individual talent and level of effort.”

“I gave up cultivation, focused all my energy on cultivating spirit plants, and had a strong natural affinity for spirit plants. This has allowed me to accurately sense the needs of the spirit plants and cultivate perfect quality ones.”

“AU has been said. If you continue to pester me, Friend Zhou, don't blame me for being impolite.”

Lu Xuan warned the middle-aged cultivator and left without acknowledging his relentless questioning.

“You…”

“You will be repaid for this!”

Behind him, the angry voice of the middle-aged cultivator echoed. Lu Xuan found it amusing. He felt that he had been true to his conscience. The method he told this No-Organization Spirit Plant Master was indeed effective, and could slightly improve the quality of the spirit plants he planted.

The only and greatest difference between the two was that Lu Xuan could clearly master the real-time status of the spirit plants, able to meet their delicate needs at any time. The appearance of the white light cluster made him no longer worry about stagnation in cultivation or lack of treasures.

As long as that spirit plant master could calm down and meticulously cultivate the spirit plants in the way Lu Xuan had explained, it wouldn't take long before he could earn back the spent spirit stones.

But he was clearly impatient for results, and after seeing the quality of the spirit plants that Lu Xuan had grown, he became somewhat off-balance, acting out of turn.

As for his mention of retribution? Lu Xuan, considering his deep cultivation, multiple magic artifacts, and charms, didn't take his words to heart.

He arrived at the loose cultivation market.

Since cultivators were continually mutating into monstrous creatures, the number of Enforcement Hall cultivators in the market was noticeably greater than before.

The cultivators were also constantly vigilant.

Lu Xuan, in this heavy atmosphere, quickly moved, his eyes passing over the stalls on both sides.

At the stalls, many cultivators were selling demon beast materials, mostly from wastelands and secret lands, and a few were self-reared, among which demon beast meat was the majority.

After all, eating demon beast meat could slightly enhance the spiritual power in a cultivator's body and was considered a daily consumable.

Secondly, there were those special parts that could be used to refine magic artifacts, such as the fur, scale armor, skeleton, and so on of some demon beasts.

Occasionally, Lu Xuan came across stalls selling demon beast blood as well. Expectantly, he inquired about the species of the demon beasts. Unfortunately, none of it was snake-devil beast blood.

Finally, he found a vial of python's blood at a stall run by a young cultivator in the first level of Qi cultivation.

The python, known as the black line snake, was un-ranked. According to the teenager, he and his companions had together killed the snake. Since he had contributed the least, he didn't get the python's skin or fangs, but only a small vial of black line snake blood, which he put up for sale at the stall with an excited mentality.

Lu Xuan spent seventy spirit fragments and bought that small vial of black line snake blood from the young man.

The young man, who thought that the snake blood would go wasted in his hands, hadn't expected to accidently receive seventy spirit fragments and hurriedly bowed to Lu Xuan to express his gratitude.

Lu Xuan returned to his yard with the snake blood.

Upon entering the spirit field, everything was as usual; the half-human-tall grass puppet was still tirelessly patrolling the spirit field.

As it passed Lu Xuan, its feet didn't stop, its giant gray grass head looked stupidly towards Lu Xuan's location, moved nearly one hundred and eighty degrees, then returned to its original position.

■'After absorbing two drops of the grass spirit elixir, the grass puppet's spiritual intelligence has clearly improved. From being a lifeless puppet, it has now become like a one or two-year-old baby.”

“What doesn't change is its perseverance in defending the spirit field.” Lu Xuan sighed, feeling fortunate that he had such a devoted tool under him. He looked around the spirit field. The growth status of all the spirit plants was normal. For those that needed nurturing, he accordingly implemented the Spirit Rain Technique or the Tree Life Spell, ensuring that they could get the maximum satisfaction.

At the end, he approached the area with the Flood Dragon Vine.

He couldn't wait to take out the small vial of black line snake blood, remove the stopper, and carefully pour the snake blood onto the twisting vine.

When poured onto the Flood Dragon vine, the bright red blood did not drop but was tightly absorbed onto the surface of the vine.

Then, it slowly seeped into the vine.

The originally dark vine turned black and red after absorbing black line snake blood. If observed closely, the winding and twisting, knotty vine seemed like a small snake that had been in hibernation all winter and was awakening and moving slowly.

It only stopped after a few breaths.

Lu Xuan focused his attention on the Flood Dragon vine.

“It felt like something good entered its body, but it disappeared before it could really taste it…”

It had a thirsty look, as though it wanted to enjoy the sweet ram after a long drought, but ended up with only two or three drops..
