The three of them looked at the lovingly reunited family of the Ink-Scaled Jiao (Dragon Serpent), and they all felt a sense of discord.

Alright, the two of you, thank you for resolving the issue of the Ink-Scaled Jiao’s loss of appetite.

“Especially you, Disciple Lu, your achievements in cultivating Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast are extraordinary, you have truly broadened my horizons.”

The middle-aged scholar said warmly to Lu Xuan, his eyes full of appreciation. “Uncle Master, you are too kind.”

Lu Xuan bowed his head modestly in reply.

“Disciple Lu, for resolving a significant problem for me, I have decided to give you a Spiritual Seed.”

“I obtained this Spiritual Seed during an adventure. However, I seldom cultivate Spiritual Plants and can’t identify its grade. Based on the vitality within the seed, it is likely a Grade Three Spiritual Plant.”

“Leaving it unused is a waste, so I’ll give it to you, Disciple Lu, and hopefully, it can be put to good use.”

The middle-aged scholar took out a Spiritual Seed from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Xuan.

Thank you, Uncle Master. I will certainly take good care of it.”

Lu Xuan grasped the Spiritual Seed with both hands, focusing on its surface.

The Seed was about the size of a fist, seemingly made of stacked thin layers of jade. It had a crystal-clear appearance and emitted a slight warmth when held.

He recalled the Grade Three Spiritual Plants recorded in the Agricultural Hall Jade Scroll, but did not find any species that resembled this seed.

However, this was good news. After all, those recorded in the Scroll were either common types or required Sword Marks in exchange.

This means the seed he had was not a common Grade Three Spiritual Plant, and there was no need for Sword Marks to be used in exchange.

He thanked the middle-aged scholar again before leaving the island with Huang Yuan.

” LU, you’ve gained quite a lot this time. The essence blood of the Grade Three Ink-scaled Jiao and a rare Grade Three Spiritual Seed.”

On the way, Huang Yuan said cheerfully, but there was no hint of jealousy in his tone.

After all, the successful resolution of the Ink-scaled Jiao’s loss of appetite was all thanks to Lu Xuan alone. He was entitled to such rewards.

He, though, had also played a part in recommending Lu Xuan and had enhanced his reputation in front of Foundation Establishment Cultivator Yang Qing Feng.

“By the way, Lu, regarding the fact that the Ink-Scaled Jiao carries the bloodline of the Qingmiao Chi Dragon, please don’t spread it.”

Lu Xuan nodded. It would be embarrassing if word got out that the Jiao being reared by the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was contaminated by an outsider Chi Dragon, and a hybrid offspring was produced.

Although the potential of the hybrid Ink-scaled Jiao was greater, it was still a matter hard to bring up.

The two took separate paths, and Lu Xuan called for a Spirit Crane to take him back to his cave dwelling.

As soon as he opened the courtyard door, the familiar Wind Sparrow Fledgling came to welcome Lu Xuan in the usual manner.

Its chubby belly landed on his head, sinking in deeply.

“Chirp chirp!”

The Wind Sparrow Fledgling called cheerfully, but stopped abruptly when its head turned around and saw the Tall Spirit Crane that had just delivered Lu Xuan standing outside the door.

It rolled down Lu Xuan’s back and looked at him with wide eyes.

Do you have other birds outside when you’re out without me?”

Lu Xuan, sensing the Wind Sparrow Fledgling’s inner thoughts, quickly explained.

“I’m not, this Spirit Crane is just a spirit beast friend of mine. Seeing that my journey home was long, it sent me back to my cave dwelling.”

“You make me feel disgusted.”

The Wind Sparrow Fledgling cast a glance at Lu Xuan, its slender pale-blue legs carrying its round body, wobbling towards the Cloud Leopard.

The Cloud Leopard calmly watched the ongoings, its emerald eyes seemingly used to it all.

A moment later, both the Wind Sparrow Fledgling and the Cloud Leopard swallowed their last piece of the wind-dried Demon Beast meat, lifting their heads and belching in satisfaction.

Enticed by the delicious food, the fledgling was soon scampering after Lu Xuan again, whereas the Cloud Leopard, who seemed indifferent, was also revolving around Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan arrived at the Spirit Field, picking out the spiritual seed wrapped in layers of jade shards.

Employing the Earth Pulling Technique, the Spirit Soil quietly transformed, and a round hole appeared, perfectly fitting the Spiritual Seed within.

Concentrating his mental energy, information about the Spiritual Seed flooded into Lu Xuan’s mind.

[Jade Scale Fruit, Grade Three Spiritual Plant, the Spirit Fruit contains abundant spiritual power and can be directly consumed to improve the physique of cultivators or demon beasts. It’s also suitable for refining body enhancement Elixirs of Grade Three and above.]

[Usually grows in areas with jade spirit minerals, the aura of jade can promote the growth of the Jade Scale Fruit.]

[The jade in the mountain nourishes the vegetation.]

“A Grade Three Spiritual Plant, the Jade Scale Fruit, that can improve one’s physique is not half bad.”

“Its growing method is somewhat similar to that of the Copper Bone Bamboo. The Copper Bone Bamboo needs copper and iron ores for nurturing while the Jade Scale Fruit needs the stimulation and nourishment of the aura of jade.”

Lu Xuan murmured, fumbling in his storage bag for a moment before ultimately taking out two White Jade Boxes.

The box material was Spirit Jade, but it had no grade. The spiritual energy within them was thin because he frequently stored a considerable amount of mature Spiritual Plants. He had prepared plenty of these White Jade Boxes.

“Even though it has no grade, it’s essentially a Jade Spirit Ore. It should be enough for the initial growing period of the Jade Scale Fruit.”

His hand bones easily broke the White Jade Box, evenly scattering the jade shards around the Jade Scale Fruit seed.

Under the detection of spiritual sense, it seemed like he could detect the numerous scales in the Spirit Soil were gently opening at a gradual pace that was hard to perceive by the naked eye.

After planting the Grade Three Jade Scale Fruit, Lu Xuan started inspecting the Spirit Field.

He came to the area near the Flood Dragon Vine.

The third-grade Flood Dragon Vine had entered its mature phase, dark vines twisted and coiled, roughly half a meter long, as thick as a wrist, and with a ferocious shape, like a venomous snake lurking in the Spirit Field.

Lu Xuan took out two bottles of third-grade Flood Dragon Essence Blood that he had gathered on this trip.

One bottle was the blood that burst out when the Two-headed Serpent evolved and grew a new head, and the other bottle was the Black-scaled Flood Dragon Pure Blood extracted to verify the existence of the Qingmiao Chi Dragon’s talents.

“Ah, first-world problems. I suddenly don’t know which third Grade Flood Dragon Essence Blood I should use to water the Jiao Vine.”

He hesitated for a moment, but eventually chose the Black-scaled Flood

Dragon Essence Blood. After all, it contained the bloodline of Qingmiao Chi Dragon, which was more valuable than the blood of the Two-headed Jiao Dragon.

Drops of dark green blood dripped onto the black vine in thin lines, absorbed entirely.

Soon enough, the vine began to slowly wiggle, and a clear light would occasionally surge on its surface, giving the eerie vine a sense of pure naturalness.

“First, I nurtured you with copious amounts of second-grade Aquamarine Serpent Blood. After coming to the Sky Sword Sect, I even used my influence to obtain no less than twenty kinds of rare Jiaolong Python Essence Blood for you.”

“Now, 1 even brought you third-graded Black Scaled Jiao Essence Blood and third-grade Two-headed Jiao Dragon Essence Blood.”

-After you mature, if you do not achieve superior quality, you would not live up to my diligent cultivation.”

Lu Xuan looked at the increasingly tranquil Flood Dragon Vine and exclaimed..
