Chapter 243: Clarification
"Before the formal class begins, I would like to correct a misconception among you."
Lu Xuan looked at the audience with a smile.
"All of you present here are the pride of heaven, gifted individuals who don't pay much attention to spirit plants."
"Occasionally planting one or two is merely seen as a way to earn spirit stones or obtain alchemy materials."
"After planting, there is little care, letting them grow or perish on their own."
Lu Xuan spoke confidently, and many people below nodded in agreement, acknowledging his words.
"Indeed, as cultivators, advancing in cultivation and enhancing personal strength always takes precedence."
"But the importance of spirit plants is not inferior to the two cultivation techniques of alchemy and refining."
"Many people have a misconception that spirit plants are only used as alchemy materials and serve no other purpose."
"In reality, spirit plants can also be used as materials for refining, creating flying swords and other artifacts."Lu Xuan took out a piece of copper bone bamboo from his storage bag and waved it in front of everyone.
"They can also be used to craft talismans or directly used as magical instruments."
He lightly patted his waist, and a green and blue gourd flew up, with a sharp sword aura emanating from it, forming a dazzling sword shadow that circled around Lu Xuan.
The appearance of a third-grade sword-nurturing gourd made many Qi cultivating disciples rethink their views on spirit plants.
"During the cultivation of spirit plants, one can also enhance their ability to control spiritual energy delicately and deepen their understanding of various techniques."
"Finally, the Sword Sect, renowned for its swords, places great importance on the Sword Pavilion. There is a spirit plant called Sword Grass, which is the foundation of the sect."
"To join the Sword Pavilion and cultivate Sword Grass, you need to have profound expertise in spirit plants."
Lu Xuan guided the audience.
The expressions of many outer disciples gradually changed, their perception of spirit plants undergoing some changes.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan nodded inwardly.
Having received the two hundred sword imprints from Shen Ye, the Lord of the Agricultural Hall, he naturally had to teach relevant knowledge about spirit plants.
The first thing to do was to correct the biases that most cultivators had about spirit plants.
"After understanding the importance of spirit plants, I will now talk about the cultivation methods of spirit plants."
"The sect has rich and pure spiritual energy, fertile spirit fields, which are advantageous for the growth of spirit plants."
"As a spirit plant cultivator, there are only two things that can help the spirit plants grow better."
"Firstly, master various basic cultivation techniques for nurturing spirit plants, such as Spirit Rain Technique, Wood Growth Technique, Earth Attraction Technique, and others."
While speaking, Lu Xuan moved his thoughts, and fine threads of spiritual rain fell within a defined half-yard area. Soon, the rain intensified, turning into a pouring spiritual rain but still limited to the designated area.
Having cultivated spirit plants for many years, the most frequently used technique was this Spirit Rain Technique, reaching the level of a master.
Whether it was the speed of casting the technique or the range and strength of the technique, it was all under his control with just a thought.
Seeing this, many outer disciples were amazed.
"Don't underestimate these basic techniques; as you advance in cultivation, they will bring you many benefits."
As soon as Lu Xuan's voice fell, a golden light flashed above everyone's heads, and a nimble turn brought a golden sword aura back to him.
People could now see it was a golden sword Qi.
"Even the basic Golden Sword Technique, used for killing insects, can pose a significant threat to high-level Qi refining cultivators when mastered at an advanced level."
"Then there's the Earth Attraction Technique. After mastering it, you can easily reshape the topography of mountains and rivers."
"Wood Growth Technique can assist in controlling the surrounding plants, simultaneously accelerating the growth of spirit plants at the fastest rate."
A seed, resembling a small arrow, appeared in his hand. A crack silently appeared on the ground as Lu Xuan placed the seed into it, and a dense green light shone on the seed.
Soon, a vine with more than ten green arrows rapidly formed, reaching maturity in less than half a moment.
On the vine, a three-inch arrow shot forward, deeply piercing the ground.
This vine, resembling a green arrow, was named Arrow Vine, a first-grade attack-type spirit plant. Lu Xuan accidentally obtained its seed, but due to the huge disparity in grade, the reward of light orbs was significantly reduced, so he didn't try planting it.
During the ripening process of the Wood Growth Technique, he deliberately added a bit of Wood Element source energy, achieving such good results.
"Secondly, treat each spirit plant equally."
"All things have spirits, and spirit plants are no exception. The higher the grade, the stronger the spirituality."
"During the cultivation process, spend more time feeling the emotions of the spirit plants, exploring their habits and preferences."
"This way, you can better and more easily cultivate spirit plants, with a greater chance of obtaining high-quality spirit fruits."
As Lu Xuan finished speaking, the Demon Ghost Vine that had been hiding in his sleeve quietly crawled out. Several gray tendrils looked curiously at the people below.
"This is what I call a high-grade spirit plant, almost comparable to demonic beasts."
Lu Xuan gently touched one end of the Demon Ghost Vine.
"A spirit plant that can move freely!"
"I don't know its grade, but it should be at least a fourth-grade spirit plant!"
"These cute tendrils, I really want to have one of these spirit plants!"
People below looked at the Demon Ghost Vine intending to retract into Lu Xuan's sleeve, discussing enthusiastically.
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to. Now I will explain the cultivation methods of many common spirit plants for all fellow disciples."
Lu Xuan lightly pressed the Demon Ghost Vine hidden in his sleeve and spoke gently.
Being a self-taught cultivator, Lu Xuan didn't have a comprehensive knowledge framework before entering the Sword Sect. He planted whatever he encountered, and his understanding of spirit plants was limited to what he had planted.
After joining the sect, he immediately went to the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for various scriptures related to cultivating spirit plants. He studied day and night, memorizing the knowledge within.
Until now, he considered himself one of the top experts in the sect regarding spirit plants.
Even if he hadn't planted rare spirit seeds, as long as he found an opportunity to plant them, regardless of grade or rarity, everything would be revealed before him.
This was his greatest confidence in giving lectures.
"After teaching, it's time for clarification."
"If any fellow disciples have any doubts or encounter difficulties in cultivating spirit plants, you can come directly to me."
"I will be in the Transmission Hall the whole day today. Feel free to come and ask."
"If you can't accurately describe the state of the spirit plant, you can also bring the entire spirit plant directly, and I will check and resolve it on the spot."
Lu Xuan smiled and spoke confidently.
"Senior Lu, why do my spirit plants only bloom and never bear fruit?"
"Senior, there's a mutated spirit plant in my spirit field. I'd trouble Senior to check it later."
"Senior, I don't have any issues, but I came here just to ask if I can touch the adorable vine spirit plant you showed earlier."
