Chapter 11 Withered Seed
Although the first-grade magical weapon Split Silver Blade brought by the Moon Eclipse Fruit was only fragments and needed to be collected and combined together, Lu Xuan was still quite satisfied.
You must know that in the world of cultivation, among the cultivation resources of the same level, elixirs and exercises are the most valuable, followed by formations, magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc., and finally various cultivation materials, such as spiritual materials. Grass, spiritual minerals, monster flesh and blood.
The Moon Eclipse Tree is just a low-grade spiritual plant. Even if it is just a fragment of a magic weapon, it can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
He looked at the three silver flakes flying around his body, looking forward to the moment when the synthesis of the silver blade was completed.
On this day, there were sounds again in the courtyard where no monks had come to disturb them.
Outside the yard, a gentle and slightly anxious voice came.
"Brother Lu, are you at home?"
Lu Xuan immediately recognized that the owner of the voice was Zhang Hong's wife.
He saw her only a few times, only when he was a guest at Zhang Hong's house. His impression was that she was a beautiful and gentle woman named Xu Wan, with a second-level Qi cultivation level.
Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door and saw Xu Wan, who looked a little haggard.
"Sister-in-law, is something wrong? Please go to the hospital and have a talk."
"No, Brother Lu, I really have something to trouble you."
Seeing Lu Xuan's appearance, Xu Wan's rapid breathing slowed down a lot.
"I heard my boss Zhang say before that black budworm larvae appeared in your spiritual field, Brother Lu, and it took a lot of spiritual stones to find someone to solve it."
"Recently, many casual cultivators in the North District have suffered from insect infestations. I took day and night precautions, but still failed to prevent them. The black budworm larvae invaded the spiritual vegetation in my family's spiritual field. When I discovered it, it had already reached a serious stage."
"I would like to ask Brother Lu if there are any casual cultivators nearby who can get rid of the black budworm larvae, and how much will they be paid?"
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and told Xu Wan the information he had obtained.
"I know three of them, Fairy Lingyun who is good at flying needle magic weapons, sword cultivator Li Xu who turns sword energy into silk, and Qin Ming who is very knowledgeable in ice magic. Among the three, Qin Ming is the cheapest and needs seven pieces. Spirit Stone, there is some room for bargaining.”
"Seven spiritual stones..."
When Xu Wan heard this, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, she pursed her lips and rubbed her hands unnaturally in front of her abdomen.
In order to be more fully prepared, her husband Zhang Hong spent most of the family's savings. The children at home spent a lot of money. If he spent seven spiritual stones to deal with the pests, food would be a problem for the next few days.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
She finally decided to ask someone to get rid of the black budworm larvae, her expression returned to normal, she thanked Lu Xuan, and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Xuan called Xu Wan, waited for her to turn around, and said affirmatively.
"Sister-in-law, I have made rapid progress in a technique not long ago. Now I am 70-80% sure that I can kill the black budworm larvae. Why don't you let me go and take a look first?"
"Thank you so much, Brother Lu."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, a hint of surprise flashed across Xu Wan's face. She didn't expect to ask Lu Xuan to help in vain, but who would cost more to hire a monk at the fourth level of Qi training or a monk at the second level of Qi training? It's clear at a glance.
If Lu Xuan can solve it, he can save a little bit.
Lu Xuan closed the courtyard door, lowered his head and followed Xu Wan.
When he asked Zhang Hong's wife if she needed help, he had already thought about it.
After the white light group appeared in the spiritual field, the first thing he had to avoid was to put himself in danger.
This time, the Zhang family was not far next door, and what he had to deal with were black budworm larvae, which were not very lethal.
Previously, the adult black budworm was wiped out in one blow by the Gengjin Sword Technique. Now, I have a deeper cultivation and a deeper understanding of the sword technique. I also have fragments of the Silver Splitting Blade and many talismans in my hands, so I must be able to deal with them. Black budworm larvae are still no problem.
Lu Xuan thought very steadily.
Besides that, there is another main reason.
From the memory of the original person, I learned that he was able to successfully become a spiritual planter and received a lot of help from Zhang Hong. When he first rented the small spiritual field, Zhang Hong lent him some spiritual stones.
After occupying this body, I also received some advice from him on how to cultivate spiritual plants. In addition, the kid Zhang Xiuyuan was quite cute, so I just took this opportunity to go and see him.
The two families were not far apart, and soon, Lu Xuan followed Xu Wan into her yard.
Zhang Xiuyuan was guarding the spiritual field. When he saw Lu Xuan come in, a hint of joy appeared on his face, but he didn't know what he thought of. He pursed his lips and turned his head.
"Zhang Xiuyuan!"
Xu Wan shouted sternly.
"Hello, Uncle Lu." The child was a little afraid of his mother and shouted reluctantly.
"good."
Lu Xuan didn't take it seriously and came to the edge of Zhangjia Lingtian.
The spiritual field in the yard is nearly twice the size of the spiritual field at home, and the types of spiritual plants planted are also more abundant. In addition to the firefly, there are three other common spiritual plants.
He soon discovered the infected firefly.
Turn over the back, and you can see strands of black thin lines tightly attached to the leaves, seeming to be integrated with it.
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp, staring closely at the thin black line.
Immediately, he closed his eyes, and the essence of the Gengjin Sword Technique flashed through his body. The spiritual power in his body was continuously compressed and condensed in the acupoints.
In an instant, a golden sword energy as thin as a hair came out and passed close to the blade, dividing a thin black line into two.
After cutting off a black budworm larvae, the golden silk sword's energy remained, drawing a wonderful arc and cutting a thin black line into two pieces.
Just like that, the thin black lines were divided into sections, fell to the ground, bounced twice, and then lost movement.
"Wow! Uncle Lu is so awesome!"
Zhang Xiuyuan, who didn't know when he came over, squatted next to Lu Xuan and praised loudly.
Lu Xuan stood up, looking calm and calm in Zhang Xiuyuan's admiring eyes.
"It's just a black budworm larvae, nothing worth mentioning."
"Brother Lu, thank you for your hard work. Please come in and have a cup of hot tea."
Seeing that the black budworm that had been bothering her was easily solved by Lu Xuan, Xu Wan showed a relaxed look on her face and invited Lu Xuan into the room.
After sending Zhang Xiuyuan to review his knowledge of cultivation, Xu Wan took out five spiritual stones from the inner room.
"Brother Lu, thank you very much this time. Please accept these spiritual stones."
"Sister-in-law, this is impossible. Brother Zhang has helped me so much before, how can I still accept your spiritual stones?"
Lu Xuan quickly waved his hand and refused.
Zhang Hong was kind to him, and he also knew that Xu Wan was from a womanly family, and living with Zhang Xiuyuan was difficult, so he naturally refused to accept these five spiritual stones.
"No! You have helped me so much, I must accept it! It will only cost more if I find someone else. Giving you only five spirit stones is already a huge advantage."
Xu Wan looks weak in appearance, but has a very strong personality, and must insist on Lu Xuan accepting the spirit stone.
Lu Xuan really couldn't refuse, and an idea flashed in his mind.
"Let's do this, sister-in-law, I still won't accept the spirit stones. You can keep them for yourself, but I won't do it in vain. Look at your house to see if there are any unknown spirit seeds found in the wild. If so, just give me one. .”
He proposed a compromise. Zhang Hong often went to the wilderness, and he might have obtained some unknown spiritual seed.
"Is it an unknown spiritual seed? There is one, but I don't know what kind it is, and its vitality is about to dry up."
Xu Wan thought for a moment and said.
She entered the back room and quickly took out a dried seed.
The seed looks like a small sword, with a gray-black surface. It can be seen that it has been placed for a long time.
"Brother Zhang accidentally got two seeds a long time ago. After asking some casual cultivators, they didn't know what kind they were."
"He tried growing one, but it didn't even sprout, so he gave up."
"I wanted to sell the remaining spiritual seed, but couldn't get anything precious in exchange for it, so I kept it at home. After keeping it for a long time, a lot of the vitality in the seed has been lost."
"Then I'll be polite and accept this spiritual seed."
Lu Xuan looked over and over at the sword-like withered seed and said with a smile.
After getting the withered spiritual seed, he didn't stay much longer and left the Zhang family with Xu Wan's gratitude and Zhang Xiuyuan's reluctance.
