Chapter 25: The Red-whiskered Carp
When he left the Baicao Hall, Steward He had instructed that when cultivating blood jade ginseng, he should be separated as much as possible, so that they could not be entangled, so as not to affect each other's growth.
After planting the blood jade ginseng spirit seed, he learned the specific reason.
Spirit seeds or spirit ginseng can move slowly in the spirit field, if the distance is close, they will be attracted to each other, cling to each other for a long time, plundering each other's vitality, until the winner is separated, and the loser withers.
Of course, the spirit planter generally does not make such an extreme situation appear, and after noticing that the rhizomes of the spirit ginseng are entangled, they use methods to separate them.
"Attracted to each other, then you and I are entangled, and then absorb each other's vitality until they are separated by me."
"How does it feel like a pair of lovers, and I'm the parent who ruthlessly tears them apart."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, he didn't have much else, but he had a lot of time, which could ensure that there would be no situation where two blood jade ginseng would collide together.
"There should be no male and female in this blood jade ginseng, right?"
He shook his head and shook out the image of the blood jade ginseng entangled in his mind.
After the twenty blood jade ginseng spirit seeds were planted, Lu Xuan used the spiritual rain technique to nourish them, and the wisps of spiritual rain seeped into the soil and were greedily absorbed by the jade-like blood red spirit seeds.
Next, he planted a hundred more Spirit Firefly Grass seeds, which were like dried tea leaves, and also used the Spirit Rain Technique to provide them with nutrients.
The new spirit field was about ten times larger than before, and after planting a hundred spirit firefly seeds and twenty blood jade ginseng seeds, a small half of the area was still vacant.
Lu Xuan plans to use it to grow Chiyun Pine, Dark Essence Zhi and Sword Grass, and if he finds other good spirit seeds, he will try to buy them and plant them.
"How can we make the best use of this spiritual spring?"
He looked at the spiritual field, the spiritual spring with shallow spring water, and fell into deep thought.
Lingquan water is usually used to assist in alchemy, brewing wine, making tea, and it will also be taken directly by monks, which can slightly increase the spiritual power in the body.
However, this is a bit of a chicken rib for Lu Xuan, with the cultivation reward brought by the spirit firefly grass, he can't look down on that little bit of spiritual power.
"Aquatic spirit plants, although they are relatively rare, are not impossible, you can try to look for them in the market or shops."
"The area of this spiritual spring is not small, it is estimated that there are not so many aquatic spirit plants, if it is wasted like this, it will be a pity."
"Maybe you can raise a spirit fish or two?"
An idea suddenly popped into Lu Xuan's mind, and it became stronger and stronger.
"The cultivation of elixir in the spirit field will bring a light group reward, if it is to cultivate a spirit beast, will there be a reward?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get a little excited.
"If you don't have it, you won't lose money, and the spirit fish raised by the spiritual spring water can also be sold at a good price, if you have it, then you will make a lot of money."
"Gotta try."
This thought grew stronger in his mind.
He opened the formation and left the courtyard.
Let's go back to the old courtyard first, there are still ten spiritual fireflies that are about to mature in the spiritual field of the courtyard.
He harvested a batch and waited for two days, and by the way, he helped Xu Wan transplant the two Eclipse Moon Trees to her house, and after he was done, all the spirit fireflies were ripe.
Among the ten spirit fireflies, six are of good quality and four are of high quality, it is estimated that because of Lingtian's lack of spiritual power, he has not yet planted a higher quality spirit plant.
Of the ten white light clusters that appeared, four brought him cultivation ranging from several months to a total of more than two years, making the aura in his body more stable.
There are also three light clusters that bring three first-grade runes, and the other three are spell experience packs, two earth induction techniques, and one Gengjin sword technique, Lu Xuan's understanding of the two spells is more profound.
He felt that if the ground attraction technique was launched with all its might, it could trigger the terrain to concuss, and it would have a great attack effect.
As for the Gengjin Sword Technique, not to mention, if he fought with Qin Ming again, even if he had a protective magic weapon similar to a jade brand, Lu Xuan would have a great deal of confidence that one blow would be fatal.
After absorbing all the ten white light clusters, Lu Xuan glanced at the courtyard that seemed a little empty, and turned to leave.
When he came to the loose cultivation market, he found it and found that there were very few stalls selling spirit beast cubs, or spirit beast eggs, so he came to a spirit pet shop.
In the shop, there are all kinds of spirit beast cubs, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, everything.
Most of them are spirit pets, the appearance is well-behaved and supple, and the aggression is not strong, and it is said that the shopkeeper is the family of an inner disciple in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and he is very proficient in the beast control one.
"This fellow Daoist is invited, I don't know if there is anything that can help the fellow Daoist?"
Seeing Lu Xuan come in, he looked around, and a handsome girl greeted him and greeted him with a smile.
"I want to buy a fish spirit animal or two, I don't know if you have any recommendations?"
Lu Xuan went straight to the topic.
"If you want a fish spirit animal, you can take a look here."
"This is a red-whiskered carp, a non-grade demon beast, with high ornamental value, it can be cooked after it is raised, the meat is delicious, and the two red whiskers next to the fish head can also be used as refining materials."
"The red-whiskered carp does not have high requirements for the growth environment, and ordinary spiritual springs can feed it, of course, if you can feed some spiritual rice, it will be easier to mature."
"This is a black swordfish, and it is also a rankless demon beast, its body is like an arrow, it is extremely fast, and it usually needs to devour a certain amount of flesh and blood essence when feeding."
"This is the Black Anaconda, a first-class demon beast, amphibious, extremely aggressive, and the body size changes greatly, and it can reach about six zhang at the longest."
"As for other aquatic demon beasts, due to their wild and untamable nature, they may injure their owners, and they are not suitable for you to raise."
The Qingxiu female cultivator introduced several common aquatic spirit beasts in the spirit pet shop to Lu Xuan, and euphemistically said that with Lu Xuan's second-level cultivation of Qi cultivation, at most, she could only raise demon beasts like the black anaconda.
Lu Xuan thought for a while, and then eliminated the black swordfish and the black anaconda.
Raising a swordfish requires flesh and blood essence, and it is rare for him to eat a good meal himself, how can he have excess demon beast flesh and blood to feed it.
As for the black anaconda, Lu Xuan gave up as soon as he heard that it might be six feet long.
I can't stuff half of my own spiritual spring into half of its volume, what can I raise?
And it's still experimental, and it's not clear whether there will be a white light cluster.
Therefore, Lu Xuan is more inclined to choose a spirit fish with a short maturity cycle and a cheap price.
"How do you sell this red-bearded carp?"
He asked, pointing to a carp fry in the pool.
As the name suggests, the red-whiskered carp has two long thin red whiskers near its gills, which are longer than its body, and when it swims, it floats around like two ribbons.
"If you have a red-whiskered carp fry, you will have a spirit stone."
The delicate girl replied.
"It's also non-grade, and it's a little more expensive than the Spirit Firefly Grass Spirit Seed and the Moon Eclipse Tree seedlings."
Lu Xuan habitually compared the prices.
"How about I buy three, cheaper, eighty broken spirits?"
Naturally, he cut the price in half.
"If you want to buy three, I can call the shots and sell them to you at the price of two spirit stones and eighty broken spirits, which is the lowest price."
"Two spirit stones and sixty broken spirits, I'll buy them immediately."
"Seventy, it can't be lower."
"Okay, deal!"
Lu Xuan replied with satisfaction.
