Twenty stalks of third-grade Hidden Essence Grass, with three fully matured and the remaining seventeen not far from harvest.
After carefully inspecting, Lu Xuan employed the Spiritual Rain technique, allowing strands of spiritual energy to gently descend, nourishing the seemingly ordinary Hidden Essence Grass.
"Three years away from the sect, I didn't expect to come back to such a big harvest."
Lu Xuan felt joy in his heart, stretched lazily, and continued to inspect the other spiritual plants in the spiritual field.
Not far away, although the three Sword-Nurturing Gourds were of the same grade as the Hidden Essence Grass, their cultivation method differed slightly. The Hidden Essence Grass could grow normally in the dense and pure spiritual environment of the inner sect, while the Sword-Nurturing Gourd needed to absorb the residual sword intent inside flying swords.
Furthermore, due to a shorter cultivation time, they still had some time before maturity.
He took out some second-hand flying swords from his storage bag and piled them under the vines.
During the trip to the secret realm, he obtained several storage bags, some of which contained decent quality flying swords, making them the most suitable for cultivating Sword-Nurturing Gourds.
The green gourds hanging on the vines originally looked dull, but upon sensing the sword intent below, a sound of surging sword qi emanated from inside the gourds, making Lu Xuan feel a sense of excitement from them.
He then approached the fourth-grade Five-Element Fruit before him.
The tree had grown to the height of a person, and sensing Lu Xuan's familiar aura from afar, the pine trees rustled with waves of sound.
A smile formed on Lu Xuan's lips as he extended his spiritual awareness to the branches and leaves of the pine tree.
From within the pine tree, there emanated lively and pure thoughts, tightly surrounding Lu Xuan's spiritual awareness. The pine needles swayed, as if questioning why he hadn't visited for so long.
Lu Xuan continuously communicated and calmed the thoughts inside the four pine trees with his spiritual awareness.
Perhaps due to the long period without communication and nurturing, the pine trees had developed an extreme thirst for his spiritual awareness, making Lu Xuan feel somewhat overwhelmed.
After satisfying the pine trees' needs, he proceeded to the rocky cave of the Earth Fire tributary and leaped down.
Within the crimson stone walls, there was a depressed cave entrance, and nestled within it lay the Phoenix Wood.
The charred wood surface was covered with countless dark gold cracks, extending all the way to the center, forming a lifelike pair of phoenix shadows.
"Sure enough, the three third-grade Red Lotus Flames left before have been completely absorbed by it."
Lu Xuan muttered softly.
Before leaving the sect, he deliberately left a red lotus flame as nourishment for cultivating the Phoenix Wood, but due to the vast difference in grade between the two, the red lotus flame had long been absorbed by the Phoenix Wood.
This time returning to the cave, he obtained several Red Lotus Flames from the flames of the Flame Fruit, took out one, and with a thought, the lotus flame quickly rotated and flew towards the Phoenix Wood.
Layer by layer, the deep red petals burned and merged into the dark gold cracks within the charred wood.
In an instant, the cracks were filled with the red lotus flame, and a crimson lotus flower flew out from the center of the charred wood. Inside the lotus flower were lifelike phoenix shadows the size of thumbs, chirping crisply and dancing joyfully.
"A third-grade Phoenix Wood. Using third-grade Red Lotus Flames for cultivation at this early stage is sufficient. When it grows to a certain stage, I'll see if I can obtain a higher-grade divine fire."
"Perhaps by then, I'll comprehend the Pure Yang True Fire from the Pure Yang True Fire Scroll and use it directly to nourish the Phoenix Wood."
Lastly, he approached the three dormant Dragon Bone Grass seeds at the bottom of the small lake.
As soon as Lu Xuan arrived at the lakeside, there was a loud noise, and a fiery red Flood Dragon leaped out of the lake.
The Flood Dragon was as long as two zhang, with a slender body wrapped in crimson scales. A faint red spiritual energy circulated on the scales, and there was a crystal clear crimson horn on its head, extremely extraordinary.
"It has grown so big?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
When he went to the Empty Abyss Island, he left the young Flood Dragon in the sect. Unexpectedly, after three years, the originally less than one zhang long Flame Dragon had grown to its current size.
The Flame Dragon roared softly at Lu Xuan, lowered its head, and allowed Lu Xuan to stroke its crimson horn.
"Come out and see your former ornament."
Lu Xuan released the chubby bird.
As soon as the Wind Falcon landed, it sensed the scorching aura, and with reflexes unsuitable for its size, it quickly jumped back a step in a daze.
The Flame Dragon wanted to approach the Wind Falcon, but its movements were somewhat unfamiliar.
It was like a left-behind child whose parents had gone to work outside for a year and had just returned.
The Wind Falcon stared at the Flame Dragon, which had grown more than twice its size, its eyeballs rolling, feeling extremely confused with its limited intelligence.
How did the small pendant that used to hang around its neck suddenly become so big?
Without giving the two small ones time to get acquainted, Lu Xuan released the Rock Shell Turtle and the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
"In the future, you will be the boss in this small lake. You must take good care of these two little brothers."
He instructed the Flame Dragon.
The Rock Shell Turtle was playful and lively, and the change in the new environment had no effect on it. Its thick turtle shell swam happily in the small lake.
The Azure-Horned Dragon Carp, on the other hand, remained quietly in the corner, motionless.
It used to be proud of harboring a little true dragon bloodline within itself and felt a great sense of superiority in front of the Rock Shell Turtle with its earthy appearance.
But upon arriving here and sensing the Flame Dragon, it felt a powerful bloodline within the dragon's body, completely dispelling its sense of superiority. It remained quiet and dared not make any moves.
Lu Xuan took out the Purple Jade Coral and placed it on the bottom of the lake to nurture it, then proceeded to the location where the Dragon Bone Grass seeds were hidden.
"With the gains from the trip to the Empty Abyss Island, the third-grade Profound Primordial Water and the Spiritual Liquid, I can finally start cultivating the Dragon Bone Grass."
The five-grade Dragon Bone Grass seeds had been placed at the bottom of the small lake for a long time, but unfortunately, they couldn't meet the cultivation conditions before and had to be wasted.
He took out the Profound Primordial Water from his storage bag, and with his spiritual awareness controlling it, three drops of the heavy liquid, each weighing over ten jin, flew out of the jade bottle and dripped onto the three strange rocks containing the Dragon Bone Grass seeds.
The black liquid silently seeped into the stones, and three faint but vigorous dragon roars sounded.
Inside the strange rocks, three slender black dragon shadows flew
out, dancing and rotating around the rocks. After a moment, they merged back into the rocks.
"These strange rocks have experienced who knows how many years of dragon bones, coupled with the Profound Primordial Water, it is considered the official start of cultivating the Dragon Bone Grass."
"However, it's best to use fresh dragon bone instead."
"In the Thousand Dragon Lake, there are so many flood dragons and chi dragons. It shouldn't be a problem to exchange a few bones with Huang Yuan or other fellow disciples."
Lu Xuan sensed a faint pressure emanating from the Dragon Bone Grass seeds hidden within the strange rocks and thought to himself.
