The remaining five mature Spirit Firefly Grass turned into three First Grade Talismans, two Sword Qi Talismans, and one Evil Banishing Talisman. Additionally, there was a drop of Grass Spirit Elixir, which Lu Xuan stuffed into the huge tumor of the ever vigilant Grass Puppet.

Under the impact of a large amount of vegetation’s spiritual energy, the Grass Puppet’s massive head gradually turned green, bit by bit.

From the other Perfect Grade Spirit Firefly Grass, a Gengjin Sword Mantra Experience Package was produced.

Lu Xuan absorbed it and, after thoroughly understanding and integrating it, he felt that his comprehensiveness and control over this sword mantra had reached an extreme stage.

“A first grade sword mantra at the Grandmaster’s Realm.”

At the prompt of Lu Xuan’s thought, a golden Sword Qi burst forth from his body, moving swiftly about within the courtyard and leaving behind a series of residual images.

The Sword Qi can be freely released or withheld. Whether it’s speed or attack range, its destructive power has advanced even further. Lu Xuan estimated that the Gengjin Sword Mantra could now surpass many second-grade Formula Methods.

He packed the ten Spirit Firefly Grass into a jade box and continued patrolling the Spirit Field.

The four stalks of Blood Jade Ginseng which were kept for seeds had already grown more full and red in color. It wouldn’t be much longer before they could be harvested.

On the gnarled old branches of the Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea plant, delicate and tender green leaves were trembling in the wind. Around the Copper Bone Bamboo, the Spirit Soil was strewn with red-gold shards of copper and iron. After nourishing the bamboo for some time, it had grown taller.

The smoky range around the Phantom Smoke Fruit had expanded a little. The ethereal fruit hidden within, almost fused with the surrounding smoke.

The Flood Dragon Vine was watered with second-grade Azure Water Python Blood every other day. Influenced by the python blood, the black vine was already covered with red and green patterns and would slowly wriggle from time to time, appearing like a vibrant venomous snake.

Both the Sword Grass and the Dark Marrow Mushroom were getting closer to maturity. Every day, Lu Xuan had to check the progress bar under these spirit plants, fearing to miss their optimal maturity time.

The Pure Snow Lotus bloomed alone in the Spiritual Spring Pool. It was a pity that the several Red-bearded Carps that had been accompanying it while it grew had disappeared, thus they couldn’t witness the pure, snow-white lotus. Looking at the empty Spiritual Spring Pool, Lu Xuan suddenly had an idea. Demon Beast meat that was nourished and grown in the Spiritual Spring would be incomparably tender. Only growing a Pure Snow Lotus in it seemed like a waste. Lu Xuan decided to make a trip to the Loose Cultivation Market to see if he could find any aquatic demon beasts.

Yes, preferably one that could be eaten.

No sooner thought than done. He moved his shoulder slightly and the Cloud Leopard, elegantly perched beside him, immediately hopped down. Its paws, like white clouds, landed on Lu Xuan’s clothes.

When Lu Xuan turned to look at it, it stared back at him with its cold, jade-green eyes.

“Grass Puppet, take good care of the house!”

Lu Xuan called out to the Grass Puppet with half its head colored green in the distance.

The Grass Puppet, bearing its half-green head, slowly twisted it, seemingly responding to Lu Xuan.

After having several drops of Grass Spirit Elixir injected by Lu Xuan, the Grass Puppet had developed simple spiritual intelligence, which enabled it to execute Lu Xuan’s orders more effectively.

Lu Xuan opened the Hidden Fog Maze Array and arrived at the Loose Cultivation Market.

Several days after his last visit, various stalls in the market had noticeable changes.

Lu Xuan had always been observant, quickly noticing a large amount of new types of Demon Beast Materials, Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine on many stalls.     *

Among them were an impressive amount of second-grade materials and medicine.

Lu Xuan went to an active part of the market where whispered conversations reached his ears.

“I heard that quite a few cultivators have recently made big gains, finding loads of treasures in the Secret Land.”

“One of my friends in a Pleasure House said that a fellow cultivator sought her out after returning from the Secret Land. After confiding in her, he gave her a huge number of spirit stones. Allegedly, he had discovered a hidden pile of spirit grass in the Secret Land, bringing back dozens of first and second-grade spirit plants.”

“This is nothing. I heard two days ago that a Qi Cultivator had discovered a mysterious cave dwelling in the Secret Land. He obtained a three-level skill manual which can be practiced all the way to the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“Oh, how I envy them all!”

As the conversation went on, the faces of many cultivators revealed envy and jealousy. How they wished they could swap places with the cultivators who had received the fortuitous opportunity, and thereon, rise to the top like a meteor.

Lu Xuan remained calm, walking through the crowd.

Although the new Secret Land had been explored once by the Wang Family, their focus had been on the central region, inevitably leaving plenty of things overlooked in the outer areas, hence providing decent opportunities for many cultivators venturing there.

These Loose Cultivators discussing only noticed the opportunities obtained by some cultivators, but didn’t think about the countless skeletal remains below or about the numerous cultivators who died at the hands of Demon Beasts, Demon Envoys, and their own kind.

Suddenly, a howling sound came to his ear. Lu Xuan glanced upward and saw a brilliant Sword Light sweep over the market like a rainbow through the sun, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

“With the opening of the new Secret Land, the market is becoming more and more restless. It’s said that disciples from various surrounding sects have been coming here for exploration and training.”

Lu Xuan obtained much information from the surrounding chatter.

He arrived at a shop specializing in selling Demon Beast Materials, young beasts, and Demon Bird Eggs.

“Fellow Taoist, do you have any water-element young beasts for sale? Preferably, ones that can be eaten.”

Lu Xuan asked the shop owner.

The owner was a lean young man who enthusiastically greeted Lu Xuan.

“Water-element young beasts? We have several kinds in the shop. I wonder if fellow Taoist is looking for First Grade ones or those without a Rank?”

“First Grade ones.”

Although the Three-Tailed Red Whisker Carp he had previously bought was delicious, it was of a lower rank. If he were to raise it again, by the time it matured, the reward offered by the White Light Group would probably turn into a burden. This gave Lu Xuan the idea of raising a First Grade Demon Beast. “First Grade water-element demon beasts with delicious meat? The only ones in my store that can satisfy your requirements are the young Iron Claw Crabs. Would you like to come with me and have a look?”

The lean young man contemplated for a moment before leading Lu Xuan to a pool.

In the pool, there were seven or eight crabs the size of baby’s heads. “These are Iron Claw Crabs, First Grade Demon Beasts. Once they are mature, their crab roe is rich and their meat is delicious – a real delicacy in the human world.”

“However, as their name suggests, these Iron Claw Crabs have sharp and powerful claws, they are highly aggressive. But, if you plan to cultivate it yourself, with your Qi Practitioner Intermediate Level cultivation, you should be able to control it very well.”

Lu Xuan nodded and looked at the pool.

The young Iron Claw Crabs in the pool were already the size of a baby’s head. Their shells were black, and a pair of eyeballs stared lasciviously.

From that group, one of the Iron Claw Crabs, noticing Lu Xuan’s probing eyes, raised its two giant claw-like legs towards Lu Xuan, full of a provoking flavour. A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth.

“I like your rebellious, untamed look.”

He turned his head towards the lean young man and asked,

“How many Spirit Stones does it cost for each of these Iron Claw Crab juveniles?”

“Twenty-three Spirit Stones each.”

“I want four. How about eighteen each?”

Despite his wealth having increased significantly, Lu Xuan still maintained his good habit of thrift, bargaining hard.

After a little haggling, he finally bought four Iron Claw Crab juveniles for the price of twenty Spirit Stones each.

“Help me to pick this one first.”

Lu Xuan pointed to the Iron Claw Crab that had recently shown off its force to him and spoke to the young man..
