Chapter 69 A gamble?
However, Lu Xuan knew that by purchasing diseased spiritual plants, curing them and then selling them, he could only make a quick buck, and it was not a long-term solution.
After all, there are still a small number of spiritual plants that have been invaded and contaminated by evil spirits. As the spiritual planters increase their vigilance and pay attention to protection, the number of diseased spiritual plants they can acquire will gradually decrease.
When it comes to their own fundamental interests, the big families and powerful forces in Fang City will not allow evil spirits to endanger the safety of monks and infringe on the interests of spiritual fields.
Lu Xuan speculated that they would react soon and try to deal with the evil spirits causing trouble in the city.
Therefore, for him, the most fundamental thing is to cultivate spiritual plants with peace of mind and obtain the opportunity of the light group.
As for whether his behavior would attract the attention or even covetment of other monks, Lu Xuan didn't care too much.
This ability itself is within the scope of a spiritual planter, not to mention that it is nothing compared to being able to grow spiritual plants of perfect quality.
After waiting in the lobby for half an hour, Steward He, who went to the medicine garden to help Lu Xuan buy diseased spiritual plants, returned to the Baicao Hall with a bulging cloth bag in his hand.
However, this time, there were two monks following behind, both of whom were at the fifth level of Qi training.
"This must be Fellow Daoist Lu. I have admired his name for a long time. I have only glimpsed Fellow Daoist from a distance before. This time I can finally get to know Fellow Daoist Lu."
"Able to cultivate perfect quality spiritual plants at such a young age, Fellow Daoist Lu is truly one of a kind!"
When the two of them saw Lu Xuan, their eyes lit up. They took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed to Lu Xuan, and greeted him warmly.
"Both of you are friendly to each other."
Lu Xuan said casually, looking at the thin old man behind the two of them.
A trace of apology flashed in Guanshi He's eyes, and he pulled Lu Xuan out of the hands of the two enthusiastic monks and walked to the corner.
"I kept going to the medicine garden to buy diseased spiritual plants at low prices, which attracted some attention."
"The spiritual planter keeps asking, I can't hide it, and seeing that you don't seem to be shy about it, I tell you the truth."
"Will it have an impact on you, Mr. Lu?"
"That's not true. Mr. He, you are worrying too much. I had no intention of hiding this matter."
Lu Xuan said with a gentle smile.
Whether it was using He Guanshi's connections to acquire diseased spiritual plants or selling cured spiritual plants, it was impossible to keep it completely hidden, so Lu Xuan had no intention of hiding it.
He comforted the apologetic old man and came to the two spiritual planters.
"Two fellow Taoists, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"
The two looked at each other, and one of them, a fat middle-aged monk, stood up and said.
"We learned from Manager He that Friend Lu Dao is good at curing diseased spiritual plants. It happens that the spiritual plants in our medicinal garden are infected, so we would like to invite Friend Lu to our two spiritual fields to help restore the spiritual plants to normal."
"As long as fellow Taoist goes together, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward."
The spiritual planter next to him added.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment.
"I do have some experience in treating diseased spiritual plants, but it's not suitable for you to go to your spiritual field."
"First of all, treatment is a long-term process. It is not possible to cure the disease with just one visit. I can't stay in the spiritual fields of two Taoist friends for a long time, right?"
"Secondly, the treatment period will involve some unique methods that I have learned to prevent leaks. It is inconvenient to go to the spiritual fields of other spiritual planters. Please forgive me, two Taoists."
Lu Xuan politely refused, joking, if he really wanted to go to the spiritual fields of these two monks, without knowing the immediate status of the spiritual plants, wouldn't he be blinded?
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the two of them hesitated.
"To be honest with fellow Taoist Lu, the person who needs treatment is a second-grade spiritual plant. Since you and I are both spiritual plant masters, we naturally understand the value of second-grade spiritual plants."
"We spent a lot of spiritual stones to obtain the second-grade spiritual seeds, and put countless efforts into the cultivation process. It would be too wasteful to sell them at the price provided by fellow Taoist."
"That's why I decided to entrust you, fellow Taoist, to restore it to normal."
"I have an idea, let's see if you two can accept it."
"You two entrusted me with the second-grade spiritual plant. I transplanted it into my spiritual field for treatment. After the treatment is complete, I will bring it over and give it to the two Taoist friends."
"It's just that in this case, the price is a bit more expensive than direct purchase. If the treatment is successful, I will charge half of the spiritual stone's value after the spiritual plant matures. If it fails, it will be reduced to 20%, which is considered as my hard work fee."
"I will do my best during the treatment process, but I cannot guarantee the success rate."
Lu Xuan made a suggestion.
"Half of its own value? Friend Lu, isn't that a bit too much?"
"We buy spiritual seeds and cultivate spiritual plants, and spend countless efforts and efforts during this process. You only need to spend a little time, and there is no guarantee that it will be successful, so you have to share half of it?"
A trace of sullenness appeared on the face of the slightly fat middle-aged monk.
Lu Xuan didn't take it seriously and looked indifferent.
"So, it's up to you, fellow Taoist, to make your own choice."
"Should I choose to sell it at 10% of the price and get the spiritual stone with certainty, or should I choose to sell half of the spiritual stone in exchange for the possibility of getting a normal spiritual plant?"
"Want to take a gamble?"
…………
"Can a casual spiritual planter really cure diseased spiritual plants?"
In the backyard of Baicaotang, in an elegant room.
The long-bearded monk He Zongguang looked at a respectful young man next to him.
The young man has a handsome appearance and is at the seventh level of qi training. He is currently bending down and standing beside He Zongguang.
"Tell me, Uncle Master, I went to the medicine garden to ask several spiritual plant masters, and then went to the spiritual medicine warehouse to check the spiritual plants collected by Lao He. This is indeed the case."
He lowered his head and replied.
"interesting."
A smile appeared on the corner of He Zongguang's mouth.
"Uncle Master, that casual cultivator must have mastered some kind of secret technique. Do you want to..."
The young man raised his head, his eyes were fierce, and his palm was like a knife, cutting the air severely.
"What's going on in your head? You just know how to fight and kill. The overall situation is important, do you understand?"
"How many spiritual stones can a secret technique that can increase the healing rate of diseased spiritual plants bring to Baicao Hall?"
"Where are there so many contaminated spiritual plants for you to treat?"
"The key to the problem now is how to deal with the evil spirits that have invaded the city, and how to prevent the medicine garden from being invaded by evil spirits, instead of focusing on the small profits brought by curing several diseased spiritual plants!"
The bearded monk scolded.
"Yes! This junior has learned the lesson!" the handsome young monk said in a deep voice.
"As far as I know, the casual cultivator named Lu Xuan has been able to grow perfect quality spiritual plants at a young age. He has a bright future."
"The importance of such a talented spiritual planter to alchemists like us is obvious."
"What I value more is him as a person, rather than some so-called means. As long as he can bring a steady stream of benefits to Baicao Hall."
"Find an opportunity to get in touch with him more and see if I can absorb him into the hall. This is the only result I want."
