Chapter 25 Red Bearded Carp

When he left Baicaotang, Guanshi He had told him that when cultivating blood jade ginseng, they should be separated as widely as possible and they should not be entangled to avoid affecting each other's growth.

After planting the blood jade ginseng spiritual seed, he learned the specific reason.

Spiritual seeds or spiritual ginseng can move slowly in the spiritual field. If they are close, they will be attracted to each other and stick together for a long time, plundering each other's vitality until the winner is determined and the loser withers.

Of course, spiritual planters generally do not allow such extreme situations to occur. After noticing that the roots of spiritual ginseng are entangled, they use methods to separate them.

"We are attracted to each other, and then you and I get entangled together, and then absorb each other's vitality until we are separated by me."

"How come they feel like a pair of lovers, and I am the parent who ruthlessly broke them up."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, he didn't have much else, but he had a lot of time to ensure that two blood jade ginseng wouldn't come into contact with each other.

"There should be no male or female distinction between this blood jade ginseng, right?"

He shook his head, getting rid of the image of blood and jade ginseng intertwined in his mind.

After twenty blood jade ginseng spiritual seeds were planted, Lu Xuan used the spiritual rain technique to moisten them. The strands of spiritual rain seeped into the soil and were greedily absorbed by the jade-like blood-red spiritual seeds.

Next, he planted another hundred Firefly seeds that looked like dry tea leaves, and also used the Spiritual Rain technique to provide them with nutrients.

The new spiritual field is about ten times larger than the previous one. After planting one hundred Firefly Grass seeds and twenty Blood Jade Ginseng seeds, a small half of the area is still vacant.

Lu Xuan plans to use it to plant red cloud pine, dark marrow mushroom and sword grass. If he finds other good spiritual seeds, he will try to buy them and try to plant them.

"How can we make the best use of this spiritual spring?"

He looked at the spiritual spring with shallow water in the spiritual field and fell into deep thought.

Spiritual spring water is usually used to assist in alchemy, brewing, and making tea. Some monks also take it directly, which can slightly increase the spiritual power in the body.

However, this was a bit useless to Lu Xuan. With the cultivation reward brought by Lingyingcao, he looked down on that little bit of spiritual power.

"As for aquatic spiritual plants, although they are relatively rare, they are not unheard of. You can try to look for them in markets or shops."

"The area of ​​this spiritual spring is not small. It is estimated that there will not be so many aquatic spiritual plants. It would be a pity to waste it like this."

"Perhaps we can raise a spirit fish or two?"

An idea suddenly popped into Lu Xuan's mind, and it became stronger and stronger.

"Planting elixirs in the spiritual field will bring light group rewards. If you cultivate spiritual beasts, will there be any rewards?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get a little excited.

"If you don't have it, it's not a loss. The spirit fish raised in the spiritual spring water can be sold at a good price. If you have it, you'll make a lot of money."

"Got to give it a try."

This idea became more and more firm in his mind.

He opened the formation and left the courtyard.

Let’s go back to the old courtyard first. There are still ten fireflies that are about to mature in the courtyard’s spiritual field.

He harvested a batch, waited for two days, and helped Xu Wan transplant two eclipse trees to her home. After finishing the work, all the fireflies were mature.

Among the ten spiritual fireflies, six are of good quality and four are of high quality. It is probably because the spiritual power of the spiritual field is not enough, and he has not yet planted a higher quality spiritual plant.

Among the ten white light groups that appeared, four brought him cultivation ranging from several months to more than two years in total, making the spiritual energy in his body more stable.

There are also three light groups that bring three first-grade talismans, and the other three are spell experience packs, two earth-inflection spells, and one Gengjin sword technique. Lu Xuan has a deeper understanding of the two spells.

He felt that if the Earth Entrainment Technique was fully activated, it would cause the terrain to tremble and have a considerable attack effect.

Not to mention the Geng Jin Sword Jue. If he had to fight Qin Ming again, even if he had a protective weapon similar to the jade tablet, Lu Xuan would still be very sure of killing him with one blow.

After absorbing all ten white light groups, Lu Xuan looked at the somewhat empty courtyard, turned around and left.

When he came to the casual cultivator market, he searched around and found that there were very few stalls selling spirit beast cubs or spirit animal eggs, so he came to a spirit pet shop.

In the shop, there are all kinds of spiritual beast cubs, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water.

Most of them are spiritual pets, with a cute and docile appearance and not very aggressive. It is said that the shop owner is the family member of an inner disciple of Wanshou Sect and is very proficient in controlling beasts.

"This fellow Taoist has invited me. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Seeing Lu Xuan looking around after coming in, a delicate girl came over and greeted him with a smile.

"I want to buy one or two fish spirit beasts. What do you recommend?"

Lu Xuan went directly to the topic.

"If you have fish spirit beasts, you can come here and have a look."

"This is a red-bearded carp, a non-grade monster with high ornamental value. It can be cooked when raised and matured. The meat is delicious. The two red whiskers next to the fish head can also be used as materials for refining weapons."

"The red-bearded carp does not have high requirements for the growth environment. It can be fed by ordinary spiritual springs. Of course, if it can be fed with some spiritual rice, it will be easier to mature."

"This is a black swordfish, and it is also a non-grade monster. It is shaped like an arrow and is extremely fast. It usually needs to swallow a certain amount of flesh and blood essence when feeding it."

"This one is a black anaconda, a first-class demon beast, amphibious on land and water, extremely aggressive, and its body shape changes greatly. It can reach about six feet at its longest."

"As for other aquatic monsters, they are wild and difficult to tame and may harm their owners, so they are not suitable for you, fellow Taoist, to raise."

Lu Xuan, a pretty female cultivator, introduced several common aquatic spirit beasts in the spiritual pet shop. She euphemistically said that with Lu Xuan's second-level Qi training skills, he could only raise monsters such as black anacondas at most.

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and eliminated the black swordfish and black anaconda.

Raising black swordfish requires flesh and blood essence. He rarely eats a good meal himself, so how can he have extra flesh and blood of monster beasts to feed it.

As for the black water python, Lu Xuan gave up immediately after hearing that it might be six feet long.

Your own spiritual spring can't hold even half of its volume, so what can you use to raise it?

Moreover, it is still in the experimental stage, and it is not yet clear whether a white light group will appear.

Therefore, Lu Xuan prefers to choose spiritual fish with a short maturity period and low price.

"How to sell this red-bearded carp?"

he asked, pointing to a carp fry in the pool.

As its name suggests, the red-whiskered carp has two long thin red whiskers growing near its gills, which are longer than its body. They resemble two ribbons that float back and forth when swimming.

"For the red-whiskered carp fry, one spiritual stone is enough."

The pretty girl replied.

"It is also of no grade, and is more expensive than the Spirit Fire Grass Seed and the Moon Eclipse Tree Seedling."

Lu Xuan compared the prices out of habit.

"I'll buy three, it's cheaper. How about one of the Eighty Broken Spirits?"

Naturally, he slashed the price.

"If fellow Taoist want to buy three pieces, I can make the decision and sell them to you for two spirit stones and eighty broken spirits. This is the lowest price."

"Two spiritual stones and sixty broken spirits, I will buy them immediately."

"Seventy, it can't go any lower."

"Okay, deal!"

Lu Xuan replied with satisfaction.
