Chapter 349: The Difficulty of Danfang
Ling Tianli.
The last four remaining Tibetan Yuancao plants were fully mature, and Lu Xuan picked them one by one.
【Harvest a third-grade Tibetan Yuancao and obtain a third-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. 】*2
【Harvest a third-grade Tibetan Yuancao, and obtain a third-grade foundation-building elixir. 】
【Harvest a third-grade Tibetan Yuancao, and obtain the third-grade treasure Nalingcao Bead. 】
The rewards from the four light groups appeared one after another in Lu Xuan's hands or in his mind.
At this point, the Tiangyuan grass entrusted to him by Dandian to plant has all matured.
None of the twenty Tibetan Essence Grasses were damaged, and the survival rate was 100%. Thirteen of them were of ordinary quality and six were of good quality. What surprised him was that he also harvested one high-quality Tibetan Essence Grass.
Lu Xuan speculated that it might be the result of careful cultivation in the early and late stages of spiritual plant growth.
From the twenty white light groups, twelve third-grade foundation-building pills, five foundation-building pill recipe experience packs, and three third-grade spiritual grass beads were revealed.
Five experience packs of Foundation-Building Pill prescriptions have brought his level of refining Foundation-Building Pills to the proficient level, which is equivalent to other ordinary alchemists who have been immersed in this for decades.
Three spiritual grass beads, one was fed to the grass puppet, and the other two were kept. After the green wood source energy in the Dantian was consumed, the spiritual beads were used to replenish the spiritual energy of the grass and trees.
"It will take a long time for the Five Elements Fruit to mature. These twenty Tibetan Yuancao can barely be delivered to the Alchemy Palace."
While imparting the experience of cultivating spiritual plants to outside disciples, an alchemist who was teaching at the same time became interested in his spiritual plant level and entrusted him to cultivate the Tibetan Yuan Grass and Five Elements Fruit for the Alchemy Palace. The spiritual seeds were provided by the Alchemy Palace.
Getting spiritual seeds for free and receiving the light group reward, Lu Xuan naturally accepted it happily.
He took out a communication talisman, got in touch with the alchemist named Guan Wan in the Alchemy Palace, and made appointments in two or three times at a time and place.
After confirming, Lu Xuan estimated the time and rode the wind falcon to the Dan Palace.
“Junior Brother Lu, you are here.”
A woman in a yellow shirt who was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was waiting quietly at the gate. The moment she saw Lu Xuan, she floated over and said softly.
“Long time no see, Senior Sister Guan is still as charming as ever.”
Lu Xuan smiled and saluted back.
The two of them entered the Alchemy Palace.
Under the leadership of Guan Wan, Lu Xuan entered a simple and elegant room.
Unknown incense was burning in the room, the aroma was rich, and there was a huge and strange alchemy furnace in the middle.
“Senior Sister Guan, these are the twenty Tibetan Yuancao plants you entrusted me to cultivate before. Please take a look at them.”
After the two chatted for a while, Lu Xuan took out all the hidden Yuan grass from the storage bag and floated it in front of Guan Wan.
Guan Wan's spiritual consciousness swept over it briefly, and he suddenly understood.
“The twenty Tibetan Essence Grasses are all mature, and they seem to be of pretty good quality. Junior Brother Lu has worked hard during this period.”
She said softly, picked up a Tibetan Yuancao, and examined it carefully.
“With good quality Tibetan Yuancao, Junior Brother Lu is worthy of being the top spiritual planter in the sect.”
Guan Wan praised loudly.
“Huh? There is also a high-quality one!”
Her mouth opened slightly and she exclaimed.
She can go out and teach outer disciples alchemy experience, so she naturally has a very high status in alchemy. At the same time, she also understands the difficulty of obtaining high-quality third-grade spiritual plants.
Many alchemists in the Alchemy Palace cultivate the elixir for refining the Foundation-Building Pill with their own hands. However, the focus is on cultivation and alchemy, so naturally they will not spend too much time cultivating spiritual plants.
When it comes to harvesting, spiritual plants of inferior quality often appear, and even a slight accident can cause the spiritual plants to wither and die.
The survival rate is difficult to achieve 100%, and the inferior spiritual plants grown will also reduce the rate of elixir formation when refining elixirs.
If you leave it to the sect's spiritual plant to cultivate it, the survival rate of the spiritual plant will be greatly improved. However, after all, it is a third-grade spiritual plant, which is difficult to cultivate. After maturity, the quality is mostly ordinary, and occasionally good or inferior quality.
High quality, at least Guan Wan has never seen it with his own eyes.
Lu Xuan's twenty Tibetan grasses are not only mature, but none of them are inferior, and several are even good or above.
How dissatisfied Guan Wan is!
The smile on her face became even wider, and her eyes looking at Lu Xuan were a little softer. "According to the previous agreement, we successfully cultivated a Tibetan Yuan Grass and gave Junior Brother Lu ten sword seals as a reward."
“High-quality ones will also be rewarded. Good-quality ones will receive twenty sword seals for each plant, and top-quality ones will receive an additional ten sword seals.”
“Twenty Tibetan Essence Grasses, a total of 280 sword seals. Junior Brother Lu, please check the number of sword seals.”
As Guan Wan spoke, a small pile of sword seals floated in front of Lu Xuan.
“There is no problem with the number.”
Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness swept over and confirmed.
Guan Wan looked at Lu Xuan with a smile as he put away the sword seal.
Although the reward for the twenty Tibetan Yuancao was more than before, she was eager for it.
After all, more sword seals mean better quality Tibetan Yuancao, which is an extremely precious thing for alchemists.
Lu Xuan took the sword seal and was equally satisfied.
Two hundred and eighty sword seals, the value of which is equivalent to one fourth-grade spiritual seed, is worth his hard work in cultivating during this time.
Not to mention, there are many foundation-building pills, pill experience packs, and spiritual grass beads that are available in the light group.
Dandian wins, Lu Xuan wins especially.
“Junior brother Lu, are you willing to continue this cooperative relationship with Dandian?”
Guan Wan put away the Cang Yuan Cao and asked tentatively.
“Of course I do!”
Lu Xuan did not hesitate at all.
“There is nothing else for me than to interact with flowers, plants, animals, birds, insects, and fish.”
“If senior sister asked me to explore a secret realm and hunt some evil beasts, I might still have trouble, but if I were asked to cultivate spiritual plants, that would be no problem.”
Lu Xuan continues to consolidate his character as an ordinary psychic planter.
“Okay, in view of your good cultivation results this time, junior brother, I will apply to the elder of Dan Palace for more varieties of spiritual plants to be given to you, junior brother.”
“It’s just that the spiritual planting of the spiritual seeds still needs to be prepared and coordinated by the Sinong Palace. Soon, the spiritual seeds will be sent to the junior brother’s house.”
“Then thank you so much, Senior Sister Guan.”
Lu Xuan said with sincere gratitude.
“By the way, senior sister, are the newly provided spiritual seeds still the materials for refining the foundation-building pill?”
“That’s right, the demand for foundation-building pills is high and the difficulty of refining them is high, which means there is even more demand for corresponding high-grade spiritual plants.”
“If the elixir related to refining is leaked, will the foundation-building elixir be researched by other monks?”
“It’s not that simple.”
A look of pride appeared on Guan Wan's face.
“There are many monks, families, and small sects in the world who know the materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but they are unable to refine it.”
“The first threshold is the inability to quantitatively cultivate the corresponding elixir. After all, there are many third-grade spiritual plants in the refining materials, which cannot be cultivated casually.”
“Further on, there are still various thresholds, the most important of which is the inability to know the specific recipe.”
“I don’t know how to handle the elixir, the amount of elixir to put in, the main and auxiliary elixir, the control of elixir fire, the timing of taking elixir, etc.”
“The elixir is the most difficult part for other monks to refine the foundation-building elixir.”
Guan Wan said with a solemn expression.
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, cursing secretly in his heart.
“Is it difficult to make elixirs? Isn’t it just a matter of planting spiritual plants and opening a light group to get them?”
