In the Black Water Star Cave Spirit Field, Lu Xuan gazed at the vicious vine before him that resembled a giant python, then carefully harvested it from the Spirit Soil.
The vine was none other than the Third Grade Flood Dragon Vine he had brought over when he left the Heaven Sword Sect. Long ago, a Light Orb from it had yielded the upper part of a Fifth Grade Body Refining Art, the "Grand Void Dragon Transformation Art," and Lu Xuan had always kept the remaining portions in mind.
"A pity. It's only a common Third Grade treasure."
After collecting the Light Orb, Lu Xuan looked at the reward in his hand and sighed with a faintly disappointed expression.
However, he could understand it. After all, the Flood Dragon Vine was only a Third Grade Spirit Plant. When he planted it, he had already been at Foundation Establishment Perfection, and when he harvested the Light Orb, he was at Core Formation cultivation. Cultivating and harvesting below his level would naturally affect the quality of the treasure.
"Looks like if I want to obtain the follow-up arts of the 'Grand Void Dragon Transformation Art,' I'll have to improve the Flood Dragon Vine into a higher-grade Spirit Plant, or obtain it from the Light Orbs of similar Spirit Plants."
He thought to himself.
As for not receiving the reward he had expected, he quickly accepted it.
"In any case, I still have the Fifth Grade Vajra Bodhi. Judging by its effects, there's a good chance it can yield at least a Fifth Grade, or even Sixth Grade, body-refining treasure."
Aside from the Third Grade Flood Dragon Vine, the Spirit Plants he had brought over back then also included the Fourth Grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus, the Five Elements Fruit, and others. In
