You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 688: Seventh Grade Treasure Item, Glazed Red Phoenix Bone!

The moment Lu Xuan heard the crisp cry of a phoenix, he thought of a certain possibility, and a deep joy involuntarily surfaced on his face.

His figure transformed into a streak of flowing light, and he arrived at the core spirit field area where numerous high-rank spirit plants were being cultivated.

As soon as he entered, he felt the surrounding space filled with a scorching hot qi wave, and when he looked up, a pair of golden phoenix phantoms were dancing gracefully in the air.

Their figures were agile, and as their tails swept by, strands of pale-golden flames flashed by.

Below the phoenix phantoms, the originally charred and unremarkable Phoenix Wood also underwent not a small change, the burnt bark seemingly ready to fall off, revealing the dark golden patterns underneath.

Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the charred wood, and he immediately noticed that the progress bar below was only a hair’s breadth from being full.

“I’ll lend you a helping hand!”

With a thought, a reddish-jade bead flew out from his storage bag.

It was the Fifth Rank Treasure Item, the Origin Yang True Fire Bead, that had emerged from the Crimson Flame Gourd spirit plant, sealed inside was a strand of domineering and unparalleled Origin Yang True Fire.

The golden-red fire burst forth from the bead, swirling turbulently toward the two phoenix phantoms in the air.

The phoenix phantoms, brimming with spiritual nature, were noticeably more light-hearted and cheerful upon seeing the Origin Yang True Fire, and dove into the golden-red flames together.

The fire spread rapidly, soon forming an uninhibitedly burning sea of flames, with the phoenix phantoms occasionally sweeping out of the fire sea, stirring up the sky-full of flames.

Their cries became even more resonant and stirring, echoing throughout the entire cave abode.

Following that, golden wings flapped vigorously in the sea of fire, and the golden-red flames instantly flowed into the bodies of the phantoms.

The phantoms became even more tangible, as if a pair of real phoenix beasts had descended into the cave abode.

The moment the flames were completely absorbed, the phoenix phantoms abruptly soared higher, diving directly into the charred wood.

A cracking sound arose.

The burnt parts on the surface of the wood peeled off inch by inch, revealing the dark golden spirit wood inside.

The spirit wood glowed brilliantly, its surface covered with intricate dark golden patterns, which meandered and undulated, constantly shifting, at first glance one might think a phoenix was dwelling within.

“Ever since I obtained this Sixth-Rank Phoenix Wood, it has been cultivated for more than thirty years, during which it has nurtured countless third-grade Red Lotus Flames, and even used this Fifth Rank Origin Yang True Fire Bead to nourish it at its maturity.”

As Lu Xuan looked at the reddish-jade bead in his hand, which had only a small remnant of Origin Yang True Fire left inside, he was filled with emotion.

He carefully removed the dark golden wood, his mind focused upon it, and instantly an idea flashed through his mind.

[Phoenix Wood, Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant, cultivated and nourished with third-grade or higher Strange Fire.]

[Legend has it that Phoenix Wood was where the ancient true spirit Phoenix resided, leaving behind a trace of phoenix essence blood and spiritual nature, extremely beneficial for the growth of fire-attribute demon beasts, especially avian ones, and can be used to refine fire-related magical treasures upon maturity.]

“A Sixth Rank spirit plant! It can be used to craft magic treasures!”

Lu Xuan was overjoyed in his heart.

This Phoenix Wood was the first Sixth Rank spirit plant he had successfully cultivated so far.

Although the cave abode already contained numerous Sixth and even some Seventh Grade E-Mu Green Thunder Vines, the first time was particularly meaningful, and his mood was naturally extremely delighted.

“For fire-attribute demon beasts, I only have the Fire Separation Flood Dragon in the cave abode right now, spending it on that might be an overuse of precious resources, better to find a suitable opportunity to refine a fire-related magical treasure.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself and put the Phoenix Wood into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, his gaze completely attracted by a white light cluster that quietly emerged below.

Holding his breath, he extended his hand to gently touch the surface of the light cluster.

The moment he made contact, the White Light Group silently shattered, transforming into a sky full of minute specks of light.

The specks of light gathered and dispersed intangibly, quickly condensing into the ethereal shadow of a pure white Phoenix, which, with a crisp cry, flashed into Lu Xuan’s body like lightning.

Immediately afterward, a thought flashed through his mind.

[You have acquired a Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant, Phoenix Wood, and obtained a Seventh Grade Treasure Item, Glazed Red Phoenix Bone.]

As the thought faded, a section of dark gold bone appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The bone was less than a foot long, it was dark gold in color, and its surface was etched with Phoenix patterns. Faint flames silently flickered around it, and when one came close to the bone, they could faintly hear the crisp sound of a Phoenix’s cry.

“A Seventh Grade Treasure Item!”

An endless joy surged in Lu Xuan’s heart.

It took him a while to calm his emotions and, taking a deep breath, his attention focused on the dark gold bones before him.

In an instant, he understood the detailed information about the bones.

[Glazed Red Phoenix Bone, a Seventh Grade Treasure Item, is the remnant of a branch of the ancient true spirit Monster Tribe, the Red Phoenix, that died and left behind its bones, containing a wisp of the Red Phoenix’s original energy.]

[It can be integrated into your body, enhancing the bones to the strength of a Low-grade magical treasure. Once integrated, it will greatly improve your affinity with Fire-related Spiritual Objects and Magic Treasure among others, dramatically speeding up your progress when cultivating Fire System Technique Divine Abilities. Your advancement will be swift, covering a thousand miles in a single day.]

[It also has varying degrees of deterrent power over hundreds of birds. After completely refining it, there’s a chance that a trace of Red Phoenix bloodline will manifest in your body.]

[Alternatively, the Glazed Red Phoenix Bone can be used to refine a corresponding Middle Rank Magical Treasure, whose power is astonishing, with a certain probability of summoning a Red Phoenix’s apparition.]

“…”

Is this the power of a Seventh Grade Treasure Item?

For a moment, Lu Xuan was somewhat at a loss for words, the efficacy of this dark gold bone far exceeded his expectations.

“No wonder, a Seventh Grade Treasure Item is already at the Nascent Soul Level. With my current strength at the Early Core Formation stage, even with the cultivation rewards provided by the Light Cluster, I don’t know how many years it would take to break through to that realm. The rarity of the Glazed Red Phoenix Bone is thus self-evident.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself internally.

“The Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant could yield a Seventh Grade Treasure Item mainly because the Phoenix Wood itself is rare and extraordinary, and it’s also largely due to the fact that I started cultivating it during the Foundation Establishment First-term Stage.”

He murmured a summary to himself and then fell into deep thought.

The Glazed Red Phoenix Bone had two uses: it could be integrated into his body or be refined into a magical treasure. Each option provided immense benefits for him, and so Lu Xuan had to make a decision.

He didn’t take long to decide, planning to integrate the Glazed Red Phoenix Bone into his body.

He had a large number of Fifth and Sixth Grade Treasure Items in hand and did not lack magical treasure prototypes. Even though the Seventh Grade Glazed Red Phoenix Bone could potentially be refined into a Middle Rank Magical Treasure, he himself was not adept at Refining Instruments. If he entrusted it to someone else, given his current Cultivation Realm, it would be like a child holding gold.

If integrated into his body, it could improve his innate aptitude to a certain extent. That held immense appeal for Lu Xuan, whose talents were ordinary. Furthermore, it would gradually enhance his own bones to the level of a magical treasure.

It also had the power to intimidate hundreds of birds, which was perfect for Lu Xuan, who often dealt with Demon Beasts and birds.

As for the possibility that fully integrating it might give rise to the Red Phoenix bloodline, Lu Xuan did not hold much expectation and left it to nature.

To completely assimilate a Seventh Grade Treasure Item, who knows until what year and month that would be.

“After integrating this Glazed Red Phoenix Bone, I’ll become a once-in-a-century fire-controlling genius.”

Lu Xuan recalled the scene where his progress on the Sword Dao skyrocketed after ingesting the Clear Sword Heart previously.

At this moment, it felt just like that moment.
