Chapter 131 Yin Fire
After tasting a lot of spiritual fruits, Lu Xuan, led by the round-faced female cultivator, entered her spiritual field.
There is a formation covering the spiritual field, so the growing spiritual plants cannot be seen very clearly.
The round-faced female cultivator led Lu Xuan to a fiery red spiritual plant.
The spiritual plant is as tall as a person, with many palm-sized fiery red leaves, and dozens or hundreds of fiery red spiritual fruits growing between the branches and leaves.
The spirit fruit is thick at the bottom and thin at the top. The surface of the fruit has flame-like lines from bottom to top. At first glance, it looks like balls of flames hanging among the branches and leaves.
However, whether it is the fiery red branches and leaves or the flaming spirit fruit, the current condition is not very good. The branches and leaves reveal a strong energy, while the flame spirit fruit looks a bit shriveled and nutritionally deficient.
"This is the second-grade flame fruit. Somehow, the growth condition is particularly bad, and I can't find the problem. Therefore, a task was issued in the General Affairs Hall to find a person who can solve the spiritual fruit problem. Fellow disciple."
The round-faced female cultivator pointed at the faint flame fruit and said to Lu Xuan.
"Then Senior Sister Chen, I have started to inspect it. If there is anything inappropriate that offends the Flame Fruit, please forgive me Senior Sister Chen."
Lu Xuan said to the round-faced female cultivator.
"Junior Brother Lu, just feel free to treat this flame fruit. Don't worry about some minor problems. As long as you can treat this flame fruit well, some damage will not be a big deal."
"As long as the treatment is successful, when the flame fruit matures, I will bring some spiritual fruit to my junior brother."
The round-faced female cultivator smiled and said easily.
When Lu Xuan saw this, the tension in his heart disappeared instantly. He walked to the flame fruit, held a palm-sized red leaf, and looked at it carefully.
He has recently acquired a lot of knowledge about spiritual plants and beasts, including various problems that may arise during the growth of spiritual plants.
Now, he is no longer the casual cultivator who was only familiar with growing his own spiritual plants. He has a certain level of understanding of various common spiritual plants and beasts.
"It doesn't look like it's been infested by insects."
Everything on the front and back of the fiery red leaves was normal, without any signs of insect invasion.
Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness slowly penetrated into the flame fruit spirit plant and carefully wandered among its branches and leaves, but he also did not find anything unusual.
"Junior Brother Lu, what did you discover?"
Seeing Lu Xuan open his eyes, the round-faced female cultivator asked hurriedly.
"No, all branches and leaves of the Flame Fruit are normal."
"There have been no insect infestations and the growing environment is full of spiritual energy. I wonder why there are growth problems?"
Lu Xuan said to himself.
"Indeed, I tried my best when cultivating it and used fire spells on the flame fruit on time every day so that it could absorb enough fire spiritual power. But for some reason, the growth condition is getting worse and worse."
Senior Sister Chen added from the side.
"In this case, it should be the problem of the spiritual plant itself."
"Senior Sister Chen, did you cultivate this flame fruit in the spiritual field since you were a child, or was it transplanted from somewhere else halfway?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"I found it in a secret realm not long ago. Because I like all kinds of spiritual fruits, I transplanted this flame fruit into my spiritual field."
"Is there any problem here? During the transplantation process, I paid careful attention and brought it back to the sect with a special magical weapon to ensure that the spiritual power of the flame fruit was not lost."
The pretty female cultivator explained to Lu Xuan.
"Senior Sister Chen, I wonder if I can pull out the flame fruit rhizome and see if there is any problem with the rhizome."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, a look of hesitation appeared on the round-faced female cultivator's face.
If the spiritual plant is pulled out of the spiritual soil, it will have a certain impact on the growth of the spiritual plant, and it will take some time to return to normal, so it was difficult for her to accept Lu Xuan's request for a while.
"If the rhizome is pulled out, how confident is Junior Brother Lu that he can cure this flame fruit?"
The round-faced female cultivator asked Lu Xuan seriously. If the flame fruit in front of her continues to grow in this state, it will probably wither and die after a while. If you think about it, pulling out the root is nothing. This is unacceptable.
"At least 70%."
Lu Xuan replied confidently.
His inspection of the flame fruit rhizomes was just a pretense. The main purpose was to complete the action of [planting] and thereby control the detailed status of the flame fruit.
"Okay, then Junior Brother Lu, just use your methods."
Seeing that Lu Xuan was so confident, the round-faced female cultivator was determined and signaled Lu Xuan to deal with the flame fruit as he pleased.
Lu Xuan nodded and used the Earth Drawing Technique, and the spiritual soil surrounding the flame fruit rhizome was instantly loosened.
He easily pulled out the entire flame fruit and gently shook off the spiritual soil on the stem.
A dark red rhizome appeared in front of the two of them.
Lu Xuan reached out and touched the surface of the rhizome. There was a slight warmth and coolness on the fiery red rhizome, which was slightly different from the information he read in the jade album.
"Senior sister, come here and touch the flame fruit rhizome."
He called the round-faced female nun over and whispered.
"Huh? Why is it so warm and cool? I remember it was recorded in the classics that there was a slight burning sensation on the surface of the flame fruit rhizome."
The round-faced female cultivator let out a sigh. Under the long-term nourishment of fire spells, the surface of the rhizome of the flame fruit will have a slight burning sensation. However, the rhizome of the flame fruit in front of me has a completely different feeling when touched.
"That must be the problem."
Lu Xuan pretended to be casual and buried the flame fruit in the spiritual soil. He concentrated on the spiritual plant. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
[The flame fruit is a second-grade spiritual plant. The spiritual fruit contains rich spiritual energy. After eating, it can slightly increase the spiritual power in the monk's body. It can also be used as a refining material for certain spiritual wines and brews. 】
[When cultivating, you need to use fire spells to stimulate the spiritual plants and speed up the growth of the spiritual plants. 】
[Due to growing in a special environment and devouring a large amount of yin fire, the flame fruit mutates inside the body. Ordinary fire spells cannot have the effect of warming and nourishing, and require the stimulation of yin fire-type strange fires. 】
"I see."
Lu Xuan secretly sighed in his heart. Although the flame fruit in front of him looked similar to the ordinary flame fruit, it grew in a yin-fire environment and was affected by it for many years. It mutated into only absorbing and devouring special flames. Ordinary flames had no effect on it. Growth has little positive effect.
"Junior Brother Lu, why are you planting the flame fruit rhizomes into the spiritual soil right now? Why don't you take a closer look?"
Seeing Lu Xuan's actions, the round-faced female cultivator couldn't help but ask.
"Senior Sister Chen, no need, I already roughly know what the problem is."
Lu Xuan used the Earth Drawing Technique, wrapped the flame fruit rhizomes with spiritual soil, and said to the round-faced female cultivator with a smile.
"If I guess correctly, when Senior Sister Chen found this flame fruit, it was growing in a yin-fire environment, right?"
"Indeed."
A trace of surprise appeared on the face of the round-faced female cultivator. She did not expect that Lu Xuan could directly see the growth environment of the Flame Fruit before transplantation.
