"Junior Brother Lu, are you there?"
As Lu Xuan felt the joy of a bountiful harvest, a gentle voice echoed outside the mountain peak formation.
"Senior Brother Shen, I'm here."
Lu Xuan instantly recognized the voice as belonging to Shen Ye, the master of the Agricultural Hall and one of the high-ranking members of the Sword Pavilion. He quickly opened the formation and went out to greet him.
At the foot of the mountain, a cultivator with a black sword sheath on his back, exuding a jade-like warmth, smiled at him.
"Junior Brother Lu, it's been a while. How have you been lately?"
"Thanks for Senior Brother's concern; everything is fine."
Lu Xuan welcomed Shen Ye into the courtyard, taking out Flame Fruits, Jade Scale Fruits, and other spiritual fruits, pouring a cup of Hundred-Fruit Spirit Nectar.
"Are these Flame Fruits cultivated by Junior Brother yourself? They taste much better than what I had before. The quality must be excellent."
Shen Ye closed his eyes, savoring the changes in Flame Fruits within his body, praising.
"Yes, with nothing much to do on regular days, I planted various spiritual fruits to entertain guests when they mature."
Lu Xuan smiled.
"By the way, Junior Brother Lu, how is the cultivation progress of the ten Sword Grass spiritual seeds obtained from the Sword Pavilion last time?"
Shen Ye suddenly inquired.
"All ten Sword Grass seeds have survived. During the cultivation process, I tried to guide them for changes, but I haven't seen results yet."
Lu Xuan half-truthfully replied.
"All survived? And you tried to induce changes in them?"
Shen Ye, with a warm demeanor, expressed surprise.
Lu Xuan's proficiency in spiritual plants was beyond Shen Ye's expectations, strengthening a certain idea in his mind.
"After the Sword Grass matures, Junior Brother Lu, come to the Sword Pavilion. At that time, I will definitely assign you more important tasks."
"As for my visit this time, it's for another matter."
"When you were an outer disciple, you should be aware that the sect often holds classes on techniques and teachings, usually led by inner disciples. If lucky, you might even encounter a Core Formation cultivator."
Lu Xuan nodded; although he often skipped classes during his time as an outer disciple, he heard about it from Bai Li Jianqing.
Every once in a while, advanced inner disciples would teach essential techniques, insights into cultivation, and many alchemy and forging masters would share their experiences, highly sought after by Qi refining disciples, often overcrowded.
However, perhaps due to Lu Xuan's reclusive nature or the fact that spiritual plant cultivation was relatively niche, he seldom heard about Foundation Establishment stage spiritual plant cultivators coming to teach.
If there were any, he wouldn't have skipped those classes.
"That's right. Recently, three of the usual instructors in the Agricultural Hall are unavailable. One is injured, another is out seeking opportunities, and the third is in seclusion trying to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
"Therefore, I immediately thought of Junior Brother Lu."
"Although Junior Brother Lu has recently been promoted to an inner disciple, your expertise in spiritual plant and beast cultivation is undeniable. So, I would like to invite you to the lecture hall to share your experiences with the outer disciples who are interested in spiritual plants."
Shen Ye, at the late Foundation Establishment stage and holding a high position, naturally heard about Lu Xuan's remarkable achievements in resolving the Yin-Yang Koi and the Azure Profound Deer grudges.
Even though Lu Xuan was young and recently promoted, Shen Ye immediately considered him.
"Senior Brother Shen, I am just a self-taught cultivator in spiritual plants. I've been experimenting on my own and still in the exploration stage. How am I qualified to teach others?"
Lu Xuan disliked being in the spotlight and politely declined.
"Two hundred Sword Commands."
"In one day."
Shen Ye smiled.
"However, during my exploration, I gained some valuable experience that can be shared with outer disciples who are interested in spiritual plants."
Lu Xuan, maintaining a calm demeanor, naturally shifted his tone.
Originally, he intended to refuse outright, but Shen Ye offered too much.
Two hundred Sword Commands were equivalent to a four-grade spiritual seed, and it would only take him a day.
"Well, Junior Brother Lu, you will have to make this trip. Here are the two hundred Sword Commands."
With a splash, two hundred small sword-like currencies landed on Lu Xuan's table.
"In three days, please arrive at the lecture hall on time. Outer disciples interested in spiritual plants will be waiting for you."
Shen Ye explained the details to Lu Xuan without lingering, bidding farewell.
...
The day before the lecture, Lu Xuan sat quietly at his desk, jotting down notes and sketches on paper.
In the past few days, he reviewed his cultivation experiences and summarized some cultivation tips.
Even if the outer disciples who attended the class couldn't grasp the real-time state of spiritual plants, the information he shared could greatly benefit them in the field of spiritual plant cultivation.
He made a simple outline, filled in some details, then walked out of the courtyard to check the growth of various spiritual plants.
"Another five Flame Fruits have matured!"
Standing beneath the Flame Fruit spiritual plant, Lu Xuan smiled at the abundance of fiery fruits hanging down.
Carefully picking each of the five Flame Fruits, he placed them in a special container to preserve their vitality and spirituality.
After arranging the fruits, he shifted his attention to the appearance of five white light orbs.
Gently touching the surface of the light orbs, Lu Xuan absorbed the energy from each one.
Along with it came the rewards.
【Harvested one second-grade Flame Fruit, obtained a third-grade treasure, Bursting Flame Bead.】
【Harvested one second-grade Flame Fruit, obtained a third-grade elixir, Incinerate Essence Pill.】
...
Upon reaching the third white light orb, the rewards finally changed.
【Harvested one second-grade Flame Fruit, obtained the third-grade technique "Flame Manipulation Technique" (Part 1).】
A flood of information surged in his mind.
【"Flame Manipulation Technique" (Part 1), a third-grade technique that allows cultivators to better control fire-related techniques, freely transforming into various forms.】
Lu Xuan digested the information appearing in his mind, gaining a shallow understanding of how to use this technique.
The circulation route of spiritual energy, the triggering method, controlling the flame's form with spiritual awareness...
He calmed his mind, cleared his thoughts, and continued to touch the remaining two white light orbs.
【Harvested one second-grade Flame Fruit, obtained "Flame Manipulation Technique" (Part 1).】
In both light orbs were experience packages for the first part of the third-grade technique "Flame Manipulation Technique."
Absorbing the experiences from three consecutive technique packages, Lu Xuan, in a short time, gained a thorough understanding of "Flame Manipulation Technique."
It felt like he had practiced and released this technique hundreds of times.
"Flame Manipulation Technique: From Novice to Mastery."
"It only takes a moment to reach this level; what's the difference between a technique prodigy and me?"
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
Prodigies exhibit innate talents, whether it's in their aptitude or the abilities they unlock. In Lu Xuan's case, the light orbs were his special talent, making his cultivation journey akin to a game with various rewards.
