You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 349: Difficulty of Medicinal Formulas

In the spiritual field.

The last four Hidden Essence Grasses were fully matured, and Lu Xuan harvested them one by one.

【Harvested one Hidden Essence Grass of third grade, obtained a third-grade Foundation Building Pill.】*2

【Harvested one Hidden Essence Grass of third grade, obtained a third-grade Foundation Building Pill formula.】

【Harvested one Hidden Essence Grass of third grade, obtained a third-grade treasure, the Nourishing Spirit Grass Pearl.】

The rewards from the four light orbs appeared successively in Lu Xuan's hands or mind.

With this, all the Hidden Essence Grasses entrusted to him by the Pill Hall for cultivation were now fully matured.

Out of the twenty Hidden Essence Grasses, not one was damaged, achieving a one hundred percent survival rate. Among them, thirteen were of ordinary quality, six were of good quality, and surprisingly, he even harvested one of superior quality.

Lu Xuan speculated that this might be the result of meticulous cultivation in the early and late stages of the spiritual plants.

Among the twenty white light orbs, twelve third-grade Foundation Building Pills were obtained, five packages of Foundation Building Pill formula experience, and three third-grade Nourishing Spirit Grass Pearls.

The five packages of Foundation Building Pill formula experience brought his level of pill refining to the level of mastery, equivalent to decades of experience for other ordinary alchemists.

One of the Nourishing Spirit Grass Pearls was fed to the Grass Puppet, while the other two were kept for replenishing the spiritual energy of plants and trees in the spiritual field after the depletion of Green Wood Source Qi.

"It will take some time for the Five-Element Fruits to mature. With these twenty Hidden Essence Grasses, I can barely fulfill my obligation to the Pill Hall."

When imparting the experience of cultivating spiritual plants to outer disciple Lu Xuan, a fellow alchemist who was teaching at the same time became interested in his proficiency in cultivating spiritual plants and thus entrusted him with the cultivation of Hidden Essence Grass and Five-Element Fruits for the Pill Hall. The spiritual seeds were provided by the Pill Hall.

Receiving spiritual seeds for free and incidentally reaping the rewards from the light orbs, Lu Xuan naturally accepted it with pleasure.

He took out a communication talisman and contacted Guan Yan, the alchemist from the Pill Hall. They agreed on a time and place.

Once confirmed, Lu Xuan estimated the time and rode his Wind Falcon to the Pill Hall.

"Junior Brother Lu, you're here."

A yellow-shirted woman with mid-level Foundation Building cultivation stood quietly at the entrance, and the moment she saw Lu Xuan, she drifted over instantly, speaking softly.

"Long time no see, Sister Guan's elegance remains unchanged."

Lu Xuan replied with a smile.

The two entered the Pill Hall.

Under Guan Yan's guidance, Lu Xuan entered an ancient and elegant room.

Incense of unknown origin burned in the room, filling the air with a rich fragrance, and in the center, there was a huge and strange pill furnace.

"Sister Guan, these are the twenty Hidden Essence Grasses you entrusted me to cultivate. Please inspect them."

After chatting for a while, Lu Xuan took out all the Hidden Essence Grasses from his storage bag and floated them in front of Guan Yan.

With a slight sweep of her spiritual sense, Guan Yan immediately understood.

"All twenty Hidden Essence Grasses have matured, and it seems that the quality is not bad. Junior Brother Lu, you have worked hard during this time."

She said softly, picking up one Hidden Essence Grass and examining it carefully.

"Hidden Essence Grasses of good quality. Junior Brother Lu is indeed one of the top spiritual planters in the sect."

Guan Yan exclaimed.

"Wow? There's even one of superior quality!"

She exclaimed with her mouth slightly open.

She could go out to impart the experience of alchemy to outer disciples, so she naturally had a high status in alchemy. At the same time, she was also clear about the difficulty of obtaining superior third-grade spiritual plants.

Many of the alchemists in the Pill Hall personally cultivated the medicinal plants used to refine Foundation Building Pills, but their focus was on cultivation and alchemy, so they naturally wouldn't put too much effort into cultivating spiritual plants.

When it came time to harvest, inferior quality medicinal plants would often appear, and even a slight accident could lead to withering and death of the plants. It was very difficult to achieve a one hundred percent survival rate, and inferior quality plants grown during alchemy would also reduce the rate of pill formation.

If the spiritual plants were entrusted to the sect for cultivation, the survival rate of the plants would increase, but after all, they were third-grade spiritual plants, so the difficulty of cultivation was high, and most of them would mature into ordinary quality, with occasional good quality or inferior quality.

For Guan Yan, superior quality plants were something she had never personally witnessed.

And the higher the quality of the spiritual plants, the higher the rate of pill formation and the better the quality of the pills.

Lu Xuan's twenty Hidden Essence Grasses not only all matured, but none of them were inferior, and several were of good quality or better.

How could Guan Yan not be satisfied with this!

A more satisfied smile appeared on her face, and there was a softer look in her eyes as she looked at Lu Xuan.

"According to the previous agreement, for successfully cultivating one Hidden Essence Grass, Junior Brother Lu will receive ten Sword Seals as a reward."

"For higher quality plants, there will be additional rewards. For each of the twenty good quality plants, ten additional Sword Seals will be given, and for superior quality plants, an additional ten Sword Seals will be given."

"Twenty Hidden Essence Grasses, a total of two hundred and eighty Sword Seals. Junior Brother Lu, please check the number of Sword Seals."

Guan Yan said as a small pile of Sword Seals floated to Lu Xuan.

"The number is correct."

Lu Xuan swept his spiritual sense over them and confirmed.

With a pleased smile, Guan Yan looked at Lu Xuan as he collected the Sword Seals.

Although the rewards for the twenty Hidden Essence Grasses given out were more than before, she couldn't be more pleased.

After all, behind the additional Sword Seals meant higher quality Hidden Essence Grasses, which were extremely precious to alchemists.

Lu Xuan received the Sword Seals with satisfaction.

Two hundred and eighty Sword Seals were already worth as much as a fourth-grade spiritual seed, not to mention the numerous Foundation Building Pills, formula experience packs, and Nourishing Spirit Grass Pearls that were opened from the light orbs.

The Pill Hall won, and Lu Xuan won big time.

"May I ask Junior Brother Lu if he is willing to continue this cooperation with the Pill Hall?"

After putting away the Hidden Essence Grasses, Guan Yan asked tentatively.

"Of course I am willing!"

Lu Xuan didn't hesitate at all.

"I'm just a person who enjoys dealing with flowers, plants, birds, insects, and fish."

"If Sister is willing to let me explore a certain secret realm or hunt down some demonic beasts, I might have some difficulties, but if you ask me to cultivate spiritual plants, then it's a piece of cake."

Lu Xuan continued to consolidate his image as an ordinary spiritual

planter and alchemist. Even if he had to take on some difficult tasks occasionally, he had to make his image consistent.

"Junior Brother Lu is indeed a person who enjoys dealing with flowers, plants, birds, insects, and fish."

Guan Yan couldn't help but chuckle. "Then, I won't say much. When I need to entrust you with a task, I'll definitely look for Junior Brother Lu."

"That's great, Sister Guan."

Lu Xuan smiled.

After chatting for a while longer, Lu Xuan left the Pill Hall and returned to the sect.

With this task of the Pill Hall completed, Lu Xuan's Sword Seals increased by another two hundred and eighty.

【Congratulations to the player 'Lu Xuan' for completing the 'Hidden Essence Grass Cultivation' task. Reward: Two hundred and eighty Sword Seals, two packs of third-grade Foundation Building Pill formula experience, and two third-grade Nourishing Spirit Grass Pearls.】
