Chapter 14 Return
Lu Xuan said categorically, not allowing Zhang Xiuyuan to refute.
He didn't want to spend a lot of time looking for casual cultivators who were infested by insects, so he gave this task to Zhang Xiuyuan and gave him a small reward.
Zhang Xiuyuan had no choice but to accept.
When he thought that he could earn thirty broken souls by finding a family of monks who were invaded by demonic insects, he couldn't help but feel happy and think about it.
"But some places must be agreed upon. The monks we can find can only be limited to the North District, and I can only help three families of casual cultivators to deal with pests a day."
Lu Xuan added.
Currently, his main focus is on the spiritual plants in his yard. If the spiritual plants cannot grow in their best condition because of covetousness for that little spiritual stone, it will be more than worth the loss.
He still distinguishes priorities very clearly.
There is another factor. What he is showing now is only the second level of Qi training. If he activates the Gengjin Sword Art frequently, his true cultivation will be easily exposed.
In the next ten days or so, Zhang Xiuyuan worked hard to search, and Lu Xuan went out almost every day to help deal with the pests.
As the pest infestation became more and more serious and there was a possibility of repeated attacks, he had to use Gengjin Sword Art three times almost every time he went out.
Every time he made a move, he was given thirty broken spirits to Zhang Xiuyuan, and he could get four spiritual stones and seventy broken spirits. In more than ten days, plus what he had accumulated before, Lu Xuan now had a net worth of about two hundred spiritual stones.
During this period, the owner of the yard came to collect the rent and paid thirty spiritual stones.
In addition, eleven more eclipse fruits were harvested, leaving nineteen more.
All are of good quality, including five fragments of cracked silver blades, three first-grade Yuan-Pui Yuan pills, and three first-grade talismans.
With the addition of these five fragments, the incomplete cracked silver blade looks slightly more complete, with only a few relatively small gaps.
Since the storage conditions of the Moon Eclipse Fruit were simpler, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to sell them, but collected them together and sold them to Baicao Hall He Guanshi when they were all mature.
Except for the Moon Eclipse Tree, which is about to mature, the other three spiritual plants in the spiritual field are all growing in very good condition.
The growth cycle of the firefly grass has passed halfway, and it will be harvested again in more than a month. The red cloud pine has not changed much, but it has grown significantly taller.
As for the sword grass, under the stimulation of the golden sword energy of the Geng Jin Sword Jue every day, a thin black grass like a sharp sword slowly grows.
Standing upright, the tip of the grass points directly to the sky, and there is a faint sword intention lingering on the grass blades.
…
"Come on, come on, the spirit stone is divided. This is your reward for today."
On the bluestone path, Lu Xuan took out the Ninety Broken Spirits and handed them to Zhang Xiuyuan.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu!"
Zhang Xiuyuan smiled naively, took the broken spirit with familiar movements, and carefully stuffed it into his clothes.
The two of them just went to three families of casual cultivators today, and Lu Xuan successfully solved them. Now is the time to divide the profits.
"Back, the first group of monks who opened up the secret realm are back!"
There was a sudden commotion not far ahead, and Lu Xuan vaguely heard a few words. It seemed that the first batch of casual cultivators organized by the Wang family to go to the wilderness last time came back today.
He had not been to that wilderness where opportunities and risks coexisted, and he was somewhat curious about the new secret realm, so he took Zhang Xiuyuan there.
"I heard that the new secret realm has several layers of powerful formation protection. The Wang family's formation masters successfully broke through two formations and found many rare spiritual plants, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and even high-grade magic weapons and techniques!"
"Fuck, I'm so jealous. I regret not signing up and going with him!"
"If I go, maybe I will get a great opportunity. From then on, I will become a great monk. It is possible to become a foundation-building or even a great alchemy-forming monk!"
"That's right, I wish I could replace it!"
Everyone was talking about it, and they were all jealous of the huge harvest of the monks who came back from the secret realm.
Lu Xuan's heart was clear, and it was inevitable that he would gain a lot from the secret realm. Otherwise, the Wang family, a big family in Linyangfang City, would not organize so many monks and spend manpower and material resources to cultivate it.
However, most of the profits will also be taken by the Wang family, and the rest will be divided up by some powerful monks. As for the largest number of casual cultivators, it is considered good to get some scraps.
I don’t even know how many people will not only receive no benefits, but also lose their lives and die.
Zhang Xiuyuan, who was on the side, heard the monks talking and was thinking about his father whom he had not seen for a long time. He felt nervous and urgent. He said hello to Lu Xuan and rushed home as fast as he could.
Lu Xuan was in no hurry and walked on the path home.
News of the return of the monks who had opened up a new secret realm spread rapidly. The entire North District of Fangshi seemed to be ignited in an instant, and there was a sense of restlessness in the air.
While passing by a casual cultivator's courtyard, Lu Xuan heard several mournful wails.
Through the open door of the courtyard, he saw tired-looking monks holding an urn. A woman in front of him was crying sadly, distraught.
Lu Xuan, a casual cultivator, is quite familiar with this family. The male owner is a middle-aged monk named Xiong, who has a third level of Qi cultivation, and signed up to participate in this secret realm reclamation.
The ending is self-evident.
He didn't know how many times he saw or heard this scene along the way.
"The road to spiritual practice is long and difficult. If an ordinary monk wants to go further, he can only try to seize every possible opportunity. Even if he is not careful and will die, he must try his best to fight for it."
"Practice is difficult, practice is difficult!"
"Fortunately, I have that special spiritual field. I don't have to fight for an unknown opportunity. I can just farm in peace and quiet."
Lu Xuan was even more grateful that he had that special white light group, and he was determined not to go out and take risks easily.
In the next few days, he stayed at home quietly and cultivated spiritual plants.
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't come to see him these days. Lu Xuan knew that he was worried about his father. He was listless when he saw him occasionally. Although Xu Wan remained calm on the surface, her face was obviously thinner. The heart is revealed.
"father!"
One afternoon, Lu Xuan, who was using the spirit rain technique to water the spiritual plants in the yard, heard a shout of surprise.
He smiled and opened the door.
Sure enough, Zhang Hong strode home in messy clothes, dusty and dusty, with a bulging bag in his arms and a wrinkled smile on his face. It was obvious that he had gained a lot.
Seeing Lu Xuan, he nodded from a distance and smiled.
Lu Xuan responded with a smile, watching Zhang Hong hugging his wife and children and entering the home with a cheerful smile.
He did not go over to join in the fun. Zhang Hong came back from the wilderness with the harvest in the secret realm. Now he is at the most sensitive moment. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a turmoil and a snake's shadow.
Although the two of them trust each other very much, if I rush there now, it may cause unnecessary suspicion and resistance.
A little while later, Zhang Hong came to the door himself.
