Chapter 373
The first time he saw this weird spiritual plant, Lu Xuan instantly thought of the fifth-grade demon ghost vine he owned.
There are some similarities between the two. Both are extremely aggressive. However, the Demonic Vine may be of a higher grade and shows a certain amount of intelligence. The attack behavior of this spiritual plant is more like instinct.
“Senior Brother Ge, where did this weird spiritual plant come from?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“Recently, our sect and several other sects have joined forces to open up a newly discovered blessed land, and a large number of such spiritual plants were found in that blessed land.”
Ge Pu simply replied.
Lu Xuan nodded and looked at it carefully.
“Strange, although this spiritual plant is very aggressive, there is no evil aura found on the plant.”
Over the years, he has grown many varieties of spiritual plants.
A few of them are very aggressive, such as the sword-raising gourds and various grades of sword grass grown in the cave at this time, but they are all passive attacks and need to be controlled and used by monks.
In addition, there are several underworld spiritual plants that are proactively aggressive, such as the mature White Eyed Tree and the Blood Spirit Palm and Holy Infant Fruit that are in the cultivation stage.
Although the spiritual plant in front of me is also actively aggressive, no evil aura can be felt within the plant.
There was no movement on the Wusui Jade around Lu Xuan's neck, and there was nothing unusual when he tested it with magic talismans such as the Spirit Purification Talisman and the Exorcism Talisman.
“I brought this weird spiritual plant here because I want you, Junior Brother Lu, to study it and see if you can find anything.”
“There are a large number of such spiritual plants in the blessed land. If we can find out where they are, it may be much easier for our fellow disciples in the blessed land.”
Ge Pu on the side said slowly.
Although Lu Xuan is not well-known in Tianjian Sect and is extremely popular, in the eyes of some people who are familiar with him in the sect, it is clear that he has profound attainments in Ling Zhi.
Along the way, he solved several major issues related to spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, and even left a deep impression in front of two Danjie elders.
Although his cultivation is only at the level of foundation building, in terms of understanding of spiritual plants and beasts, the elders and true disciples of the sect may not be better than him.
“Okay, then I’ll give it a try and see if I can find anything out of this weird spiritual plant.”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan nodded without hesitation and took the strange spiritual plant from Ge Pu's hand.
“Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Lu. If you find anything, please contact me at any time.”
Seeing this, Ge Pu nodded with satisfaction and told Lu Xuan. A black and white Tai Chi pattern emerged from behind him, quickly rotated and enlarged, and got into the pattern together with Zhong Jingshan, and disappeared in an instant.
Lu Xuan watched the two people leave and turned his attention back to the strange spiritual plant in his hand.
“Spiritual plants obtained from the blessed land…”
He sighed in a low voice.
There are various secret realms in the world of cultivation, but very few have reached the level of blessed land.
Blessed places often exist in various dangerous places, even in the void, and are extremely difficult to detect.
The Tianjian Sect is in charge of three blessed lands. Lu Xuan has entered one of them, the Langyue Blessed Land, and obtained a fifth-grade demon ghost vine, a fourth-grade spirit-containing pine, and a sixth-grade Phoenix tree. It can be said that he gained a huge harvest.
According to what Ge Pu just said, the blessed land where this spiritual plant is located was recently discovered by the sect, and it is jointly exploring and opening it up with other sects. It is believed that many rare treasures can be found there.
Although the new blessed land means a lot of opportunities and treasures, it also contains unknown dangers, so Elder Jiedan leads the team as a guarantee.
Given his current level of cultivation, it’s better not to worry too much about it. “If you can figure out the origin of this spiritual plant, you may be able to make great achievements and maybe get a reward from the sect.”
He was thinking in his mind, and suddenly felt an itch coming from his fingers.
Looking down, he saw that the crack on the trunk of the Lingzhi tree in his hand had swallowed one of his fingers at some point. The saw teeth on the edge kept chewing, and a huge suction force came from the inside of the trunk.
“The little thing is pretty good at biting.”
Lu Xuan allowed the weird spirit plant to bite his fingers.
He practiced the two body-refining techniques of "Glaze Bone Forging Technique" and "Taixu Dragon Transformation Chapter", and also took jade scale fruit, golden marrow jade liquid and other rare spiritual fruits to strengthen the body. His body was no longer as hard as some third-grade methods. To him, the biting of the weird spiritual plant was not much different from scratching.
He looked at the weird spiritual plant full of cracks, and with a bad taste in his heart, he dug his fingers into the trunk and stirred it wantonly.
When he pulled out his finger, all the jagged teeth on the crack fell off and fell to the ground.
After he made such a fuss, Weird Lingzhi realized how powerful it was. Even if Lu Xuan took the initiative to bring his finger closer, the cracks in the tree trunk did not react at all.
“Although he doesn’t look very intelligent, he still has the basic instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.”
Lu Xuan made a comment and continued to observe the strange spiritual plant in his hand that had become honest.
Looking at it, apart from the unusual aggressiveness, there is nothing new to discover.
“When you are in doubt, you can feed him something.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it is a spiritual plant or a monster, or a half-spiritual plant and half-demon beast, just feed it something and it will be invisible in front of me~”
Lu Xuan thought in his heart, the spiritual power surged in his body, the clouds above the spiritual plant changed, and a spiritual rain technique was like a slender waterfall, accurately watering the trunk, branches and leaves of the spiritual plant.
After waiting for the strange spiritual plant to be absorbed, he concentrated on the plant, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
【Unknown spiritual plant, third grade, formerly known as third grade dragon pattern wood, after being affected by unknown powerful flesh and blood power for a long time, it gradually mutated into a new spiritual plant species. 】
【Therefore, it has more powerful vitality, is highly aggressive, and can pose a great threat to monks below the foundation level. 】
【It can be used to refine elixirs that enhance the physical body. After proper processing, it can also assist in practicing certain body-refining techniques. 】
“The mutated spiritual plant, formerly known as the third-grade dragon-grained wood…”
Lu Xuan had seen third-grade dragon-grained wood in a book in the Sutra Pavilion. It was extremely hard and was an excellent material for refining magic weapons and flying swords.
However, according to the records in the classics, the shape of the spiritual plant in his hand is very different, and it can be said to be completely unrelated to it.
“What kind of breath of flesh and blood can turn a third-grade spiritual plant into this?”
Lu Xuan murmured to himself.
Although he already had a general understanding of the strange spiritual plant in front of him, he decided to study it for some more time.
Otherwise, it would have been too eye-catching for Ge Pu to tell Lingzhi the relevant information as soon as he stepped forward.
But I don’t mind showing off my ‘talent’ in spiritual cultivation, but I don’t want to be in the limelight either. I just want to keep silent and make a fortune.
“Now that we know the origin of Lingzhi’s heel, the next thing to do is to observe its habits, preferences, etc., to see if we can find the best way to deal with it.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
Kavin is very stuck. If there is no second update later, I will make it up tomorrow.
