Chapter 235 Transplanting Blood Semen Rice
“These bursting blood essence rice plants are all quite full of vitality. Is the reason they burst open because Brother Jingkun supplied them with too much earth energy?” Lu Jingtong said.

His cultivation level was still at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, which was quite different from Lu Jingkun's.

However, as a plant master, his sensitivity to plants was much sharper than Lu Jingkun's, which is why he was able to discover the crux of the problem.

"That's exactly the reason Jing Tong mentioned!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingtong, saying, "From now on, the two of you should work together and transplant these blood essence rice plants as previously discussed. There shouldn't be any more problems!"

Those blood essence rice plants that were showing signs of weakness did indeed regain their vitality after absorbing the earth energy delivered by Lu Jingkun.

This proves that their previously considered transplantation method was effective.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an did not waste any more time. He took out all the blood essence rice from the remaining five spirit fields and placed it in the spirit fields that Lu Jingkun and the other person had cultivated.

"These are the droppings of the blue antelope. Jing Tong, take some time to study them and see if they have any effect on the blood essence rice?"

“I also brought back some blue antelopes, and I will settle them on Jupiter Peak later.”

As Lu Cheng'an was speaking, he released Qing Hong, who had been imprisoned in the Cangqiong Palace.

"Qinghong, this is the Suixing Peak of our Lu family. You will be responsible for overseeing this spiritual peak from now on. These two are Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingtong, cultivators of our Lu family. They will be responsible for cultivating the Blood Essence Rice. You must fully cooperate with them in transplanting the Blood Essence Rice!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingtong looked at Qing Hong and immediately sensed the extremely terrifying power contained within him.

This is clearly a third-tier demon beast comparable to a Golden Core cultivator!

"Qinghong will obey Fellow Daoist Lu's instructions!" Qinghong said respectfully.

Qinghong's cultivation was at the peak of the third level. After being released from the Cangqiong Palace by Lu Cheng'an, he quickly used his divine sense to explore the surrounding environment.

He discovered that many spiritual herbs were planted on this Star Peak, but the quality of those herbs was not high.

Most importantly, there isn't even a single third-order spiritual vein on this Star Peak.

Leaving aside the first and second-tier Green Horned Antelopes, there are six of them who are third-tier Green Horned Antelopes alone. This Star Peak is simply not suitable for their cultivation.

Unfortunately, he is now under Lu Cheng'an's control, and no matter how much dissatisfaction he has, he dares not express it.

Blood essence rice has already been planted on Suixing Peak, and Qinghong and other green-horned antelopes will also be settled on Suixing Peak. Next, the Lu family will definitely cultivate a third-order spiritual vein on Suixing Peak, and they cannot cultivate only one third-order spiritual vein.

Of course, Lu Cheng'an did not intend to tell Qing Hong for the time being.

If Qinghong dares to do anything out of line during this period, he can take the opportunity to give Qinghong another warning.

After giving instructions to Lu Jingkun, Lu Cheng'an led Qinghong toward Suixing Peak.

Lu Cheng'an had already sent a message to Lu Jingkun, instructing him to set aside an area on Suixing Peak for the blue-horned antelope and other demonic beasts to live in.

The area of ​​Suixing Peak is quite large, and the Lu family has not yet turned all of it into medicinal fields. It is not difficult to create a suitable habitat for the green-horned antelopes on Suixing Peak.

However, the spiritual energy in these areas that have not been developed into medicinal fields is not very strong.

After bringing Qinghong to the area planned by Lu Jingkun, Lu Cheng'an released all the blue-horned antelopes in the Sky Palace.

After the five third-tier blue-horned antelopes were released, they transformed into human form in an instant, just like Qinghong.

They all looked like female cultivators, and were not much different from normal human female cultivators.

Lu Cheng'an did not interact with them; he entrusted all the blue antelopes to Qing Hong.

If anything happens to these blue-horned antelopes, he will naturally go after Qing Hong.

After dealing with the blood essence rice and the green horned antelope, Lu Cheng'an took Shi Ningyu back to the cave on Sun Peak.

"Ningyu, bring out your natal magic weapon, and I will repair the damaged runes inside it right now!" Lu Cheng'an said.

Shi Ningyu's natal magic weapon was cracked by Qing Hong, and Shi Ningyu also suffered some backlash as a result.

However, the backlash was not severe, and Shi Ningyu had already recovered by adjusting her breathing.

However, the cracks in the Divine Jade Pagoda still exist, requiring Lu Cheng'an to refine it again.

The cracks on the Divine Jade Pagoda were not serious, and Lu Cheng'an restored the magic weapon to its original state in just two days.

Afterwards, Shi Ningyu did not stay at the Lu family any longer and returned directly to the Dan Ding Sect.

When she left the sect, her grandfather had just broken through to the Golden Core realm. She was going back to check on him.

Lu Cheng'an did not try to stop him. After sending Shi Ningyu out of the Lu family, he returned to his cave and began to refine a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon.

He currently has no shortage of materials to refine mid-to-low-grade third-tier magic weapons. His main purpose in refining mid-to-low-grade third-tier magic weapons is to hone his refining skills and hopefully advance to become a high-grade third-tier weapon refiner as soon as possible.

Then, the two fiery cloud gourds were fused together into one, greatly enhancing the power of this magical artifact.

Lu Cheng'an was quite fast at refining mid-to-low-grade third-tier magic weapons; he could usually refine one in about a month.

After spending more than a year refining twelve low-to-mid-grade third-tier magic weapons, he successfully upgraded his weapon-refining skills to high-grade third-tier.

Besides the bonus from the panel's proficiency, the most important factor is his own understanding of the art of weapon crafting.

After becoming a third-tier high-grade weapon refiner, he studied the two Fire Cloud Gourds again.

After more than two months, they finally deduced the method to fuse the two Fire Cloud Gourds into one.

He didn't waste any time after that and immediately began to refine the two Fire Cloud Gourds.

There were no problems with the refining process this time. It took Lu Cheng'an nearly three months to successfully fuse the two Fire Cloud Gourds.

The Fire Cloud Gourd, once refined, has become a high-grade third-tier magic weapon, with its power increased by more than 10%.

There are still eight Fiery Cloud Swords inside. If these eight Fiery Cloud Swords are released at the same time, the power they release is enough to threaten a cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection Realm.

The power accumulated within the Fiery Cloud Gourd can now unleash three such attacks! In addition, the Rank 3 superior Fiery Cloud Gourd also possesses the power of absorption.

This absorption power is not weak; if it were fully activated, it would be enough to absorb a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Once absorbed into the Fiery Cloud Gourd, the eight Fiery Cloud Swords contained within can instantly cut any cultivator who enters into mincemeat.

Lu Cheng'an also branded five transformation rune arrays on the bottom of the Fire Cloud Gourd, so that the flesh and blood of these cultivators could be stored in the Fire Cloud Gourd.

If the power accumulated by the Fire Cloud Gourd is exhausted, activating these five transformation rune arrays will allow the use of flesh and blood to quickly restore the power consumed by the Fire Cloud Gourd.

Lu Cheng'an thought of adding this function to the Fire Cloud Gourd mainly to target the large number of first and second-tier demonic beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains.

If the third-tier demonic beasts such as the Azure Flame Lion launch a beast tide to attack the human race near the Burning Flame Mountain Range, he will use the Fire Cloud Gourd to capture all the first and second-tier demonic beasts and kill them, turning them into the energy source of the Fire Cloud Gourd.

The power of the Fiery Cloud Gourd comes from the artifact itself, so cultivators do not need to expend much magical power to activate it.

Even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage can unleash the full power of the Fire Cloud Gourd!
This is a magic artifact that can be passed down through generations. Even if the Lu family encounters problems in the future, causing the Golden Core cultivators to lose their lineage, the Fire Cloud Gourd, a third-grade high-quality magic artifact, can still threaten Golden Core cultivators in the early and middle stages.

After successfully refining the third-grade high-quality Fire Cloud Gourd, Lu Cheng'an did not attempt to refine the magic weapon.

His original intention in crafting this magical artifact was for Shi Ningyu, and he will give it to her in the future.

After resting briefly in his cave, Lu Cheng'an left with the completed Fire Cloud Gourd.

He did not go directly to the Dan Ding Sect, but first checked the condition of the Blood Essence Rice.

Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingtong have been taking care of the blood essence rice at Suixing Peak for some time now.

Lu Jingkun carefully nourished the blood essence rice with the earth energy of Suixing Peak, and no further problems arose.

Over such a long period of time, the roots of those blood essence rice plants have become completely connected with the earth energy of Suixing Peak, and have fully recovered their vitality.

However, the growth of Blood Essence Rice requires more than just the power of the earth; it also needs spiritual energy and other powers unknown to the Lu family.

Following Lu Cheng'an's instructions, Lu Jingtong investigated whether the excrement of the blue antelope had any effect on the growth of blood-seed rice.

The excrement of demonic beasts can help spiritual plants grow better, a fact detailed in the spiritual plant heritage left by the Burning Flame Sect.

Lu Jingtong studied the feces of the blue antelope for a long time, but found that the feces of the blue antelope had no effect on blood essence rice.

He never gave up his research on blood essence rice. He discovered that although they successfully transplanted blood essence rice to Suixing Peak, the spiritual energy of the blood essence rice was actually slowly decreasing.

The current Blood Essence Rice is still at the second-tier high-grade level. However, if these Blood Essence Rice are used to cultivate new Blood Essence Rice, the cultivated Blood Essence Rice may only be at the second-tier mid-grade level, or even lower.

This is because blood rice lacks a crucial energy source during its growth process, and they do not currently know what this energy is.

Lu Jingtong inquired in detail about how Qinghong and the other blue-horned antelopes had cultivated the blood essence rice, but he did not get the answer he wanted.

The Qinghong and other Qingjiao antelopes are demonic beasts. They don't know how to cultivate blood essence rice at all. The reason they have been able to continue cultivating blood essence rice to this day is mainly due to the power of the formation and spirit field within the ruins.

After Lu Cheng'an found Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingkun at Suixing Peak, the two of them told Lu Cheng'an everything they had learned about their research on blood essence rice during this period.

“Since the dung of the blue antelope has no effect on the blood essence rice, then try their flesh, bones, and all kinds of materials on their bodies. These blue antelopes will definitely not appear in the ruins randomly,” Lu Cheng’an said.

After thinking about this, Lu Cheng'an suddenly recalled the name of Blood Essence Rice.

Perhaps this spiritual plant truly needs the blood and flesh of the blue antelope to nourish it.

Lu Cheng'an did not tell Lu Jingkun and the other person about this idea, since he had already provided this approach.

Next, Lu Jingtong will definitely continue his research in this direction. Whether the flesh and blood of the blue antelope will have an effect on blood essence rice depends on the results of Lu Jingtong's research.

"The flesh and blood of the blue-horned antelope?"

Lu Jingtong looked at Lu Cheng'an with some surprise, and then said, "Qinghong and the other blue-horned antelopes are all third-tier demonic beasts. If I kill those first-tier blue-horned antelopes, will there be any problems?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Qinghong won't care about the lives of those first and second-tier blue-horned antelopes!"

"Tell Qinghong about this, and say that it was my idea to have him personally kill the two first-tier and second-tier Green Horned Antelopes."

"You can also try the flesh and blood of other demonic beasts. Find some time to have Qinghong take you to the Burning Flame Mountain Range."

Qing Hong's cultivation level is at the peak of the third rank. The strongest Qingyan Fire Lion in the Burning Flame Mountain Range is only at the mid-stage of the third rank, and it is no match for Qing Hong at all.

After giving instructions to Lu Jingkun and the other man, Lu Cheng'an left the Lu family and sped off towards the Dan Ding Sect.

After Lu Cheng'an left, Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingtong immediately went to find Qinghong.

Qinghong and the other blue-horned antelopes have always stayed on Suixing Peak. Suixing Peak still does not have a third-order spiritual vein, so the third-order blue-horned antelopes like Qinghong are simply unable to cultivate on Suixing Peak.

However, this did not have a significant impact on Qing Hong, because his cultivation had already broken through to the third-order perfect realm.

Unless his cultivation level can break through to the fourth level, there is no possibility of further progress.

The bloodline power of the Green Horned Antelope is very weak. The reason why Green Horned Antelopes like Qing Hong were able to become third-tier demon beasts is because the power of the Blood Essence Rice opened the shackles of their bloodline.

However, the power of the Blood Essence Rice is also limited. Qing Hong's potential has been basically exhausted. Unless he encounters some other opportunity, it will be difficult for him to break through to become a fourth-order demon beast.

Just as Lu Cheng'an said, Qing Hong really had no feelings for those first and second-tier blue-horned antelopes.

After learning the purpose of Lu Jingkun and his companion's visit, he instantly slaughtered two first- and second-tier blue-horned antelopes.

"Fellow Daoists, there are only second-tier spiritual veins on Suixing Peak. The spiritual energy is too thin for us. Does your Supreme Elder have any plans to cultivate third-tier spiritual veins on Suixing Peak?" Qing Hong asked in a rather amiable manner.

Although there was no possibility of him advancing his cultivation level further, he did not want to stay in a place with scarce spiritual energy for a long time.

Although Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingtong knew that Qinghong was under the control of their family's Grand Elder, Qinghong was, after all, a third-tier demon beast, so they treated him with great courtesy.

“Senior, please wait a little longer. Another elder of our Lu family will be returning to the family soon. That elder is a third-tier spirit array master. When he returns to the family, he will set up third-tier spirit gathering arrays and spirit nurturing arrays on spirit peaks such as Suixing Peak and Taibai Peak. At that time, third-tier spirit veins will be cultivated on these spirit peaks!” Lu Jingkun said with a smile.
