Seeing the small movements of Lu Xuan's hands, the three of them understood each other, looked at each other, and came to the corner of the hall.
"This young man keeps talking about secrets that are not told to others. He seems to want spiritual stones. What do you two think?"
"I think we can give it a try. If the method he said is indeed effective, then we will benefit a lot. If we can really grow perfect quality fireflies, we will make a lot of money, whether it is reputation or spiritual stones.
What’s more, since we can cultivate perfect quality spiritual fireflies, it is possible to cultivate perfect quality first-grade or even second-grade spiritual plants.”
"I'm just afraid that if what he says has no effect, the spiritual stones will be wasted."
"Anyway, he is also the spiritual planter of Baicao Hall. If you are deceived, you can also find him through the hall."
The three of them discussed quietly for a while and came to Lu Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the three of us plan to offer sixty spiritual stones in exchange for the method of cultivating perfect quality Lingying grass. What do you think?"
"The method should not be taught lightly. The method of planting a perfect spiritual plant involves many things. I would like to ask my three fellow Taoists to understand."
Lu Xuan's tone gradually became looser, from the initial "secret not to be taught" to the current "Dharma not to be taught lightly".
The meaning revealed is also obvious:
Need more money!
The three of them went back to the corner, arguing quietly, and finally returned to Lu Xuan.
"One hundred spirit stones, no more. You and I, fellow Daoist Lu, are both casual spiritual cultivators. We should know better that spirit stones are hard to come by. This is already the most spirit stones we can gather."
The swarthy middle-aged monk said with a look of regret.
Lu Xuan was not interested in knowing about the three people's wealth, but he also knew that one hundred spirit stones was indeed not a small amount.
You must know that the price of perfect quality fireflies is not much higher compared to other qualities. It ranges from dozens of pieces of spirit to a hundred spirit stones. You don’t know how many high-quality fireflies you need to grow to make a profit.
"Those who are destined to teach the Dharma can meet three Taoist friends here, which shows that our fate is very deep. I will tell you how to cultivate them."
"The reason is very simple. According to the growth needs of the spiritual plants, the original large-scale application of spells is changed to the precise application of spells, such as the spirit rain technique, the earth introduction technique, the wood growth technique, etc., and they are used just right for the spiritual plants, so that they can grow.
Get the best growth.”
"As for the precise timing of performing the technique, we can only rely on fellow Taoists to explore it themselves."
"I see!"
The three of them suddenly realized.
"Each spiritual plant will have different needs during its growth process. Even if there are only subtle differences, the accumulation will eventually affect the quality when mature."
"The careful cultivation of spiritual plants can solve these problems to the greatest extent."
"Fellow Taoist, I understand!"
The three of them looked grateful. The method Lu Xuan said was indeed very simple and easy to do, but not many spiritual planters were willing to do it.
After all, for the vast majority of monks, planting spiritual plants is just a cultivation skill, and it is no different from refining elixirs and refining weapons. Cultivation is the most important thing.
Sure enough, the three of them quickly realized this problem.
"If we really do what Fellow Daoist Lu said, wouldn't it mean that most of our energy is spent on planting spiritual plants, leaving little time for practice?"
The swarthy middle-aged monk asked doubtfully.
"Indeed."
Lu Xuan nodded.
"I knew that my talent was average and my practice was hopeless, so I gave up my practice and spent all my time and energy on cultivating spiritual plants. Only then did I achieve some insignificant results."
"As for the three fellow Taoists, whether you want to practice hard and advance your cultivation further, or whether you want to cultivate more high-quality spiritual plants and earn more spiritual stones, it depends on your respective choices."
The three of them were thoughtful and left one by one.
Lu Xuan looked at the three people leaving and put the hundred spirit stones he had received into his storage bag with satisfaction.
He took the hundred spiritual stones with peace of mind and without any guilt.
The method he told the three people is indeed effective. After carefully cultivating spiritual plants, the quality of the spiritual plants planted will definitely improve to a certain extent, so that more spiritual stones can be earned.
It's just that Lu Xuan concealed the most important point, which was that he could control and understand the instant status of the spiritual plants and adjust them at any time according to their needs.
The three of them were unable to do this and could only rely on their own little exploration. It was estimated that if they could not achieve perfect cultivation, then it would be difficult to obtain spiritual plants of perfect quality.
What's more, after choosing to cultivate spiritual plants in a refined way, they basically give up on cultivation. Unlike Lu Xuan, they are rewarded with white light groups and can obtain various treasures and cultivation levels.
"Do you think I'm really lying down?"
Lu Xuan smiled secretly.
"Actually, I'm trying to trick you to death."
"Not only are you good at growing spiritual plants, you are also good at earning spiritual stones."
The thin old man came to Lu Xuan at some point and said with a chuckle.
"Isn't that right?"
Lu Xuan said with a proud smile.
"Three spiritual plant masters spent a hundred spiritual stones for me in three sentences. Is this good enough?"
"It is indeed good to earn a hundred spirit stones, but if your unique method is spread, it will be more than worth the gain."
Manager He's tone was a little dissatisfied, as if he was blaming Lu Xuan for leaking the method of growing perfect quality spiritual plants for a small profit.
"Don't worry, Mr. He. It's not that simple. The method is that method, but whether it can be done is another matter.
Otherwise, there are so many spiritual planters, how come no one has discovered that careful cultivation can improve the quality of spiritual plants, but do you think how many spiritual planters can plant perfect quality plants?"
Lu Xuan said lightly.
The thin old man nodded, feeling a little relieved.
"Come here and take away the three Qingmiaoling tea seedlings."
Lu Xuan followed the old man and came to a side room. The room was filled with fragrance, and there were three flowerpots with strange patterns on a wooden shelf in the middle.
Inside the flowerpot, there are three tea tree seedlings growing.
The tea sapling is about five inches tall. Although it is a sapling, its branches are intertwined and have strong knots, giving it a strange sense of contrast.
On the branches, there are three or five tender green tea leaves, trembling slightly, as weak as the wind, but you can feel a strong vitality from them.
"These are the three second-grade Qingmiaoling tea seedlings."
"It is not a low-grade spiritual plant like the firefly grass. It is much more expensive. You must cultivate it well and you cannot fail."
He Guanshi gave Lu Xuandao serious instructions.
Lu Xuan nodded heavily.
"How many spiritual stones are needed for three Qingmiao Lingcha seedlings?"
"On the market, the Qingmiaoling tea seedlings that appear on the market usually cost thirty spiritual stones each. And because the saplings are rare and the tea leaves are precious, they are usually priced but not available."
"You have an agreement with Baicaotang. You can get the three tea seedlings at a low price. You can take them with you for sixty spirit stones."
The price was discounted by more than 30%. Lu Xuan was even more grateful that he had established such a relatively free cooperation model with Baicaotang. At the same time, he was even more grateful to the lean old man who brought him in.
