Chapter 177 Unfair Lingtao, join if you can’t beat him
"Junior Brother Lu, are you sure you want to choose this third-grade Mystic Peach?"
The old farmer monk asked Lu Xuan.
"Senior brother, I wonder what mysteries are hidden in this magical peach spirit plant? Can you give me some answers?"
Lu Xuan asked in a deep voice.
"For some reason, I still know a little about the third-grade Mystic Peach."
"It is said that during the growth stage, the spiritual plant continuously releases a special aura. That aura can arouse the seven emotions and six desires in the monk's heart, especially lust."
"This is contrary to the authentic way of practice of our famous sect. When cultivating, monks need to abandon their inner desires and be pure. Only in this way can they maintain a good state of practice."
"If the state of mind is affected, it will slow down the progress of practice. In severe cases, it may even breed inner demons, making it easy for evil spirits to invade."
"For the monks of the sect, cultivation is the right path, and spiritual cultivation is only an auxiliary, so few monks are willing to plant this magical peach. Only those monks of the demon sect who are wanton and reckless, especially the demon cultivators who are good at dual cultivation techniques, There will be more growers.”
"I heard that there are several world-famous gold-selling caves in the cultivation world, and fairy peaches are planted everywhere in them to help support love."
The old farmer monk came close to Lu Xuan's ear, covered his mouth, and whispered.
After he finished speaking, a trace of hesitation flashed across his expression, he looked around carefully and came closer again.
"Junior Brother Lu, you have just entered the sect not long ago, and there are some things in the sect that are not clear enough. There is an interesting story about this magical peach."
"It is rumored that many years ago there were two Foundation Establishment Master uncles, a man and a woman, discussing things under the large grove of enchanted peach trees planted by one of them. As a result, under the aphrodisiac effect of the spiritual plant, they couldn't help themselves and couldn't bear it. There's something a bit shady going on..."
"oh?"
Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up. Regardless of strength or status, people are always curious about gossip and rumors, especially about those in high positions.
As soon as he heard the two keywords "Uncle Establishment Master" and "Silky Things", the genes deep in Lu Xuan's heart were naturally triggered.
"Senior brother, I have completed the cultivation of spiritual plants in the morning. I have plenty of time. Senior brother can elaborate on the matter of smuggling."
"The two master uncles made a fierce fire, using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, and the war began..."
"...The battle was getting intense. Guess what, the Taoist companion of the male master uncle rushed over. He was so angry that he directly broke his face."
"But it's hard to beat four hands with two fists, and he was subdued by two people working together. Guess what happened?"
"The Taoist companion of Uncle Jijiu was killed by the two of them?" Lu Xuan asked subconsciously.
"No, the master uncle who was controlled could not help but join in under the long-term influence of the aura of Mixiantao, and it became a big melee..."
"hiss!"
"Is this what is called...joining if you can't beat it?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a breath and calm down.
"Senior brother, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon. Let's start that big melee again."
"..."
"After such a big melee, the sect directly sent the three uncles to the remote and bitter secret realm. I don't know what is going on now. Only their deeds will be passed down in the sect forever."
The old farmer monk finally concluded.
"There's something about this magical peach."
After hearing it until the end, Lu Xuan couldn't help but let out a long breath and sighed.
"But senior brother, I usually practice hard, and I spend more time on planting spiritual plants. Therefore, this magical peach does not have a great impact on me. It is rare to encounter such interesting spiritual plants, so I still I want to try planting.”
"Okay, now that Junior Brother has made his choice, I won't say any more. If the number of Mystic Peach is limited, the influence will not be very great. Junior Brother Lu, just pay more attention to it."
"How much is the price of a spiritual stone of the Mystical Peach Spirit Seed?"
Lu Xuan asked the old farmer monk.
"The Immortal Peach is a cyclical spiritual plant. During its life cycle, spiritual fruits can be picked repeatedly. Therefore, the price is slightly more expensive than other ordinary third-grade spiritual plants. Each spiritual plant requires 320 spiritual stones."
"Then please help me, senior brother, to fetch three magical peach spirits and plant them here."
Lu Xuan took out nine hundred and sixty spirit stones from the storage bag.
Although the consumption is huge, it comes from fellow disciples in Qianlong Lake anyway, so I don’t feel bad about spending it no matter what.
When the old farmer monk went to collect the magical peach spirit seed, Lu Xuan continued to flip through the jade album in his hand.
On the jade book, there are not many third-grade spiritual seeds or spiritual plant seedlings that can be purchased with spiritual stones, and most of them are still out of stock.
He looked through it briefly, but didn't find the spiritual plant he wanted, so he picked up another jade book containing second-grade spiritual plants that could be purchased with spiritual stones.
There were many more types of spiritual plants in this jade book. He found four kinds of spiritual fruits that were in stock. After weighing them again and again, he decided to choose one of the spiritual fruit-type spiritual plants he had seen, the Flame Fruit.
Previously, I received a task related to the Flame Fruit in the General Affairs Hall, helping a round-faced female cultivator solve the growth problem of a mutated Flame Fruit, which can be regarded as a certain understanding.
"Three third-grade Mystical Immortal Peach plants, plus some Flame Fruit, are almost enough."
"The area of the Cave Mansion's spiritual field is limited. With so many second- and third-grade spiritual plants planted, the spiritual power is barely enough. After the cultivation level breaks through to foundation building, and there is an independent mountain with abundant spiritual power, we can then consider planting more spiritual plants."
Lu Xuan said secretly in his heart.
"Junior Brother Lu, this is the magical peach spirit seed. You must harvest it carefully and plant it as soon as possible to avoid losing its vitality and affecting its growth."
After a while, the old farmer monk came out with a white jade box. There were talismans attached to the outside of the box. Based on Lu Xuan's understanding of the basic talismans, it seemed that they were purity-related runes.
He carefully opened the jade box, which contained three fist-sized peach stones. The peach stones had dense ravines and were light red in color. There were faint wisps of pink smoke flowing between the ravines, teasing the monk's heartstrings.
"Thank you, senior brother. Also, please tell me, senior brother, how many spiritual stones are needed for each of these flame fruit spiritual seeds?"
"Second-grade spiritual plant flame fruit? Fifty-five spiritual stones each. How many do Junior Brother Lu need?"
"Bring me ten."
Lu Xuan took out five hundred and fifty spirit stones and said with a smile.
"So many? Junior brother Lu really spared no effort in cultivating spiritual plants."
"With such a strong talent and working so hard to cultivate spiritual plants, it's no wonder that he is valued by the palace master."
The old farmer monk couldn't help but be speechless. In his impression, Lu Xuan had exchanged many second-grade and third-grade spiritual plants from the Sinong Palace, which were far beyond the level of planting and cultivation by ordinary qi-training spiritual planters.
He accepted the spirit stone and sighed while entering the inner hall of Sinong Hall to get the spirit seed for Lu Xuan.
"Ten Flame Fruit Spirit Seeds, Junior Brother Lu, please take a look."
The storage of second-grade flame fruit spiritual seeds is naturally much simpler than the third-grade magical peach. Soon, the old farmer monk came out of the inner hall and handed Lu Xuan ten spiritual seeds that burned like fire.
Lu Xuan gave a gift of thanks and returned to the cave with the Enchanting Peach and the Flame Fruit Spirit Seed.
