Chapter 15 Dark Marrow Mushroom
"Brother Lu, long time no see. How are you doing?"
Zhang Hong smiled heartily and greeted Lu Xuan.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhang. Everything went well. I would like to congratulate Brother Zhang for your safe return from the wilderness."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm lucky. I only suffered a minor injury and got some treasures by luck."
"For coming here this time, I have to say thank you to Brother Lu."
"I heard from my mother-in-law that there was a pest infestation in the house before, and it was all thanks to your help, little brother Lu, to solve it."
"And that little brat, he has been showing off to me since he came back, saying that he can now earn spiritual stones, and he also wants to use the spiritual stones he earned to support his family!"
Zhang Hong thought of Zhang Xiuyuan's triumphant look and laughed.
"Brother Zhang, you don't have to be polite. You have helped me so much before, and what I have done is nothing."
"As for Xiao Yuan, he saved me a lot of time and unnecessary trouble. It's appropriate to give him a little reward."
"He's a little brat, what can he do?"
"But little brother Lu, you surprised me this time. I thought you would only be able to farm quietly, but I didn't expect you to have such a skill in sword arts."
"With just this, Brother Lu, you can defeat many monks at the third level of Qi training."
Zhang Hong praised.
Lu Xuan had the cover of the Breath Condensation Technique and was not worried that Zhang Hong would detect his true cultivation level.
"The spiritual fields in our courtyard were among the first to encounter insect infestations. It took me nearly seven spiritual stones and a mid-level Qi-training monk to get rid of them."
"In order to prevent this from happening again, I simply spent a lot of money and bought a first-grade sword art. Unexpectedly, I usually make slow progress in practicing spiritual power, but I have some talent in practicing sword art."
"The sword technique is progressing very quickly, and it has even reached the point where it can help people deal with pests. I just want to use it to earn some spiritual stones and earn back the cost of buying it as soon as possible."
Lu Xuan made up a reason to explain the ins and outs of why he could use Gengjin Sword Art to solve the pest problem.
Zhang Hong has no doubt that he is there.
The two chatted for a while, and naturally talked about Zhang Hong's experience in reclaiming the secret realm.
"The Wang family's formation master has broken two formations. According to those mid-level Qi-training monks who entered the depths of the secret realm, this new secret realm is no smaller than Linyangfang City, and there are countless spiritual plants and elixirs in it."
"Those of us casual cultivators on the second and third levels of Qi training are only active in the periphery. We have no ability or qualifications to enter deeper into the secret realm."
"I mainly follow a team of casual cultivators, collect spiritual plants, and clean up some low-level monsters."
"Although the great monks of the Wang family are blocking the front, it is said that the casualties this time are still not small, about 30%."
"Our team was pretty lucky. We only encountered two dangerous situations. Once when we were collecting spiritual plants, we encountered a mutated spiritual plant. It was extremely aggressive and good at camouflage. Two people died accidentally. .”
"Another time, I encountered a special monster, a spider with a human face on its back. It was so fast that I couldn't see its figure clearly. A casual cultivator was cut into two pieces by its limbs. Fortunately, I had a Qi practitioner with a high The monks arrived in time and destroyed it."
Thinking of these two encounters, Zhang Hong couldn't help but turn pale and looked frightened, which showed that the shadow left behind was not small.
Lu Xuan on the side listened with interest. Anyway, he didn’t have to experience it himself, so it was great to be able to get over it.
"What, little brother Lu, are you interested in going for a walk? When you open up a new secret realm, the benefits are the greatest and the risks are the greatest for the first time, but they will be reduced later."
"Of course, it's just like this on the outside of the secret realm. I don't know what's going on inside."
Seeing Lu Xuan's interest, Zhang Hong smiled and invited.
"No, no, my cultivation is low, I'm not good at fighting, and I don't have magic weapons or talismans with me. I'd better just be a spiritual planter."
he said with a smile.
The spiritual power accumulated by the white light group and the magic weapons, talismans, pills, etc. brought by it are still too few. If you round up, it can be said to be 'none'.
Zhang Hong just mentioned it casually and ignored it.
"By the way, Brother Zhang, did you harvest any unknown wild spiritual seeds when you went to the secret wilderness this time? If so, I can buy them with spiritual stones."
Lu Xuan changed the topic and asked.
"Unknown wild spiritual species? Wild spiritual species are rare to begin with, and unknown species are even rarer."
"I haven't encountered it myself, but I heard that some casual cultivators found a wild spiritual species in a deserted place in the secret realm. I will help you ask about it when the time comes."
"It's just that the type of spiritual species is unknown, and the planting method is unknown. Brother Lu, if you want to plant it, it is very risky. You will probably waste your time and spiritual stones in vain."
Zhang Hong couldn't help but offer words of advice when he heard Lu Xuan's inquiry.
"I just want to experiment, not to bet on the possibility of success."
"If you fail, you can also accumulate some experience in cultivating spiritual plants and broaden your horizons."
Lu Xuan found an excuse to excuse himself.
"Okay! Let me help you find out!"
Zhang Hong nodded and said.
He was very efficient and brought good news two days later.
In Zhang's courtyard.
He introduced Lu Xuan to a bald monk who was at the third level of Qi training.
"This is Fellow Daoist Long, very powerful."
"This is Brother Lu. He has some talent in planting spiritual plants. He wants to know about the unknown spiritual seed in the hands of fellow Taoist."
Zhang Hong introduced Lu Xuan and the bald monk to each other and quickly got to the point.
"I found this spiritual seed in a deserted land outside the secret realm. At that time, I found more than ten wild spiritual seeds. The deacon of the Wang family rewarded me with one."
"It's just that I haven't figured out what kind it is, but judging from the place where it was found at the time, it should be no less than the first grade."
"Brother Lu, if you want it, take the five spirit stones."
The bald monk said directly.
Lu Xuan took the spiritual seed in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The spiritual seed is shaped like a small fungus, dark red in color, with blood vessels on its surface, and a viscous substance flowing slightly.
"The price of five spiritual stones is not expensive. It was the same price when I got the red cloud pine."
"However, looking at the strangeness of this spiritual species, its grade and rarity are definitely not weaker than the Red Cloud Pine. If we know the specific species, the price will definitely be much higher than the Red Cloud Pine."
Lu Xuan thought in his heart and made a decision quickly.
"Fellow Daoist Long, I want this spiritual seed."
"Brother Lu is so happy."
The two of them handed over spiritual stones in one hand and spiritual seeds in the other, each showing a smile.
The bald monk was happy that an unknown wild spiritual species could bring him five spiritual stones, while Lu Xuan was happy because there was another rare spiritual plant in the spiritual field.
And more importantly, the white light group brought about by the maturity of spiritual plants.
When he returned home, he used his earth-drawing technique to free up a small spiritual field and planted the dark red fungus.
With his mind focused, the detailed information about the spiritual plant flashed through his mind.
"Dark Marrow Marrow is a second-grade spiritual plant. When mature, it can be used to refine certain body-refining elixirs. It can also be taken directly to enhance the physique of monks."
"A spiritual plant growing in the dark does not need light or spiritual rain. It just wants to stay in the dark, accompanied by decaying spiritual trees."
