Chapter 245 Helping Its Destruction
"Oh? A third-grade green jade branch? You also invited my nephew to come on stage and let me have a look at it together."
Lu Xuan became interested. He had seen this third-grade green jade branch in a book in the Sutra Pavilion. It was extremely rare. There was no corresponding spiritual species in the Tianjian Sect to redeem.
The gloomy-looking young man took out a strange-shaped branch from his storage bag.
The tree body is slender and dark blue in color, with coral-like twigs at the top, like light sapphire, with a crystal texture.
Lu Xuan's sharp eyes discovered that there were many almost invisible tiny cracks on the jade-like twigs, which were easily missed by the naked eye.
The cracks are too subtle, and the extension path of the lines is very natural, and it doesn't look like it was caused by humans.
"Excuse me, nephew, how long has this green jade branch been in this state?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"It has been less than three days, so the details are not clear. I only discovered it accidentally today."
The gloomy-looking young man replied calmly.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he nodded and kept turning over the third-grade green jade branch in his hand, with thoughts swirling in his heart.
"What may be the cause? Judging from the development trend of the lines, the possibility of external forces is very slim. The focus should still be on the internal causes."
"Then what will happen? An evil aura invading? Or is it an unknown insect? Or is it simply that you want to break apart?"
"Uncle Master, have you seen the problem?"
The gloomy young man was a little impatient and asked anxiously.
"Not yet, let me take a look."
Lu Xuan continued to carefully inspect the third-grade green jade branch in his hand.
Another half moment later, he and the other outer disciples who had been attracted were still at a loss. The several methods they proposed only treated the symptoms but not the root cause of the problem.
"If you really can't find the problem, uncle, it's better to leave it at this. I'll find other uncles later to help me take a look."
There was some doubt in the young man's tone.
"Can I plant this green jade branch again?"
He asked the gloomy young man calmly.
Unable to decide to use a plug-in when something happened, Lu Xuan planned to use his precise grasp of the growth status of spiritual plants to try planting them to see what the cause was.
"Uncle, there is no need to bother."
“I have a strong affinity for the growing spiritual plants and can roughly sense their emotions and needs.
After planting the green jade branches, you can make a rough judgment based on the several spiritual planting techniques. "
"As long as the green jade branches are not damaged."
The young man hesitated for a moment. Although he thought what Lu Xuan said was a bit unbelievable, he finally nodded in agreement.
"Please rest assured, nephew, I promise that we will not intensify the damage to the spiritual plant."
With the permission of the owner of the green jade branch, Lu Xuan found an open space, used the ground drawing technique, and planted the green jade branch into the spiritual field.
Many of the many outer disciples who came to listen to the lecture gathered around to see how Lu Xuan would solve the problem.
The root of the sapphire branch fits into a crack just right.
Lu Xuan cast a spiritual rain technique on Lingzhi, and strands of spiritual rain seeped into the roots and branches of the sapphire branch.
After concentrating his mind, a piece of detailed information about Qingyu Zhi appeared in his mind.
[Green Jade Branch, a third-grade spiritual plant, is rare and rare. It needs to absorb the essence of jade during its growth. When mature, it can be used to refine jade Ruyi, jade pendants, jade slips and other exorcism instruments. 】
[Vitality is passing. Due to the parasitic woodworm in the body of the spiritual plant, the vitality of the spiritual plant is lost. If it goes on for a long time, the jade at the top is likely to slowly disintegrate. 】
"Cryptic woodworm? What is it?"
After finding out the problem, Lu Xuan was immediately relieved.
It's just that he had never heard of the hidden woodworm hidden in the spiritual plant. Out of curiosity, spiritual consciousness gathered everywhere in the spiritual plant.
Perhaps he came across the body of the Hidden Wood Insect. Soon, a piece of information about the Hidden Wood Insect flashed through his mind.
[The Hidden Wood Insect is a third-grade alien insect. Its attack power is at a low level among similar insects. Its hiding ability is extremely strong, and it can be cleverly and naturally integrated with spiritual plants. 】
[It can form a symbiotic relationship with certain spiritual plants and grow with each other, or it can parasitize other spiritual plants and slowly absorb the vitality of the spiritual plants. 】
[You can use wooden instruments and talismans to draw it out. 】
"Being able to integrate with the spiritual plant, no wonder there is no trace of it."
"Symbiosis...parasitism..."
Lu Xuan sighed, and suddenly, a lightning flashed through his mind.
"The green jade branch in front of us is obviously not the symbiosis target of the Hidden Wood Insect. So, why are there traces of the Hidden Wood Insect inside the spiritual plant?"
"Perhaps someone took the initiative to put the Hidden Wood Insect into the spiritual plant?"
The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
The passive relationship between the hidden woodworm and the parasitic spiritual plant, coupled with the fact that the abnormality of the green jade branch is obviously very short.
Lu Xuan was thinking rapidly in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
"If the hidden woodworm is deliberately released into the green jade branches, what is the purpose?"
"Come here to cause trouble?"
He had already imagined the next scene.
As a spiritual planter who could come to the Chuan Gong Hall to teach, he was helpless when dealing with the cracking of third-grade jade branches, and was then solved by an unknown Qi-training monk.
If there is such an obvious comparison, it is likely to affect his reputation on the Lingzhi Road.
"Who could be the mastermind behind this?"
The first thing Lu Xuan thought of was the three people in the blessed land. He had always lived in seclusion and was kind to others, just because the Poinciana tree had a huge conflict with the three people, and the possibility of others being there was extremely small.
"Use the rare and rare third-grade green jade branches as bait, and deliberately put in the hidden wood insects that are extremely difficult to detect. After you can't solve it yourself and your reputation is ruined, you can use specific magic weapons to lure out the hidden wood insects in the spiritual plant, and the green jade branches will disappear. Some vitality can be restored quickly."
"It's really not easy to come up with such a flawless method in just half a day."
"It's a pity that, against all odds, I didn't expect that I would be able to detect the traces of the Hidden Wood Insect."
The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth raised slightly without revealing any trace.
If you can grasp the real-time status of the spiritual plant, you can see the abnormality of the spiritual plant at a glance and find a way to deal with it.
"If you put the hidden woodworm into a rare green jade branch that cannot establish a symbiotic relationship, you have no intention of preserving the spiritual plant."
"In that case, I will give you another push."
"Assist in the destruction of Qingyuzhi."
He held the green jade spiritual plant in his hand, and a tiny wisp of green wood origin energy surged out from the tip of his little finger and seeped into the spiritual plant.
Aoki Origin Qi contains a large amount of pure vegetation spiritual energy, and is the favorite of most spiritual plants and insects such as hidden wood insects.
After the hidden woodworm in the green jade branch absorbs it, it can greatly accelerate its growth rate and integrate with the spiritual plant more closely and deeply, regardless of each other.
The person behind them had the idea of separating the hidden wood insect from the green jade branch after attacking Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan did not stop and directly welded the two tightly to cut off the possibility of further separation.
"Master nephew, I checked carefully and there should be a third-grade hidden wood insect hidden in the green jade branch."
"However, it has been a long time since the illness has accumulated and it is difficult to recover. I am afraid it will be difficult to restore the spiritual plant to normal."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clicking sound from the jade branch at the top of the sapphire branch, and the cracks that were almost invisible instantly grew longer and larger, becoming clear and obvious.
