Chapter 373
The first time he saw this strange spiritual plant, Lu Xuan instantly remembered the fifth-grade demon ghost vine he owned.
There are certain similarities between the two, and both are extremely aggressive. However, the Demonic Vine may be of a higher grade and shows a certain amount of intelligence, while the attacking behavior of this spiritual plant is more like instinct.
"Senior Brother Ge, where did this weird spiritual plant come from?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"Recently, our sect and several other sects have joined forces to open up a newly discovered blessed land, and a large number of such spiritual plants were found in that blessed land."
Ge Pu simply replied.
Lu Xuan nodded and looked at it carefully.
"It's strange. Although this spiritual plant is very aggressive, there is no evil aura found on the plant."
Over the years, he has grown many varieties of spiritual plants.
A few of them are aggressive, such as the sword-raising gourds and sword grasses of various grades planted in the cave at this time, but they are all passive attacks and need to be controlled and used by monks.
In addition, there are several underworld spiritual plants that are proactively aggressive, such as the mature Hundred-Eyed Tree and the Blood Spirit Palm and Holy Infant Fruit in the cultivation stage.
Although the spiritual plant in front of me is also actively aggressive, there is no evil aura within the plant.
There was no movement on the innocent jade around Lu Xuan's neck, and there was no abnormality when he tested it with magic talismans such as the Spirit Purification Talisman and the Exorcism Talisman.
"I brought this weird spiritual plant here because I wanted you, Junior Brother Lu, to study it and see if you can find anything."
"There are a large number of such spiritual plants in the blessed land. If we can find out their whereabouts, perhaps the fellow disciples in the blessed land will have a much easier time."
Ge Pu on the side said slowly.
Although Lu Xuan was not well-known in the Tianjian Sect and was extremely unconventional, in the eyes of some people who were familiar with him in the sect, they knew that he had profound attainments in the field of spiritual cultivation.
Along the way, he solved several major issues related to spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, and even left a deep impression in front of two Danjie elders.
Although his cultivation is only in the realm of foundation building, in terms of understanding of spiritual beasts, the elders and true disciples of the sect may not be better than him.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try and see if I can find anything from this weird spiritual plant."
When Lu Xuan heard this, he nodded without hesitation and took the strange spiritual plant from Ge Pu's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Lu. If you find anything, please contact me at any time."
Seeing this, Ge Pu nodded with satisfaction and told Lu Xuan, a black and white Tai Chi pattern emerged from behind him, quickly rotated and enlarged, and got into the pattern together with Zhong Jingshan, and disappeared in an instant.
Lu Xuan watched the two people leave and turned his attention back to the strange spiritual plant in his hand.
"Spiritual plants obtained from the blessed land..."
He sighed in a low voice.
There are various secret realms in the world of cultivation, but very few have reached the level of blessed land.
Blessed places often exist in various dangerous places, even in the void, and are extremely difficult to detect.
Tianjian Sect is in charge of three blessed lands. Lu Xuan entered one of them, the Langyue Blessed Land, and obtained the fifth-grade demon ghost vine, the fourth-grade spirit-containing pine, and the sixth-grade Phoenix tree. It can be said that he gained a huge harvest.
According to what Ge Pu just said, the blessed land where this spiritual plant is located was recently discovered by the sect, and it is jointly exploring and opening it up with other sects. It is believed that many rare treasures can be found there.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's heart felt hot, but he immediately cooled down and regained his senses.
Although the new blessed land means a lot of opportunities and treasures, it also contains unknown dangers, so Elder Jiedan leads the team as a guarantee.
With his current cultivation level, it's better not to worry too much.
"If you can study the origin of this spiritual plant, you may be able to make great achievements and maybe be rewarded by the sect."
He was thinking to himself when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his fingers.
Looking down, he saw that the crack on the trunk of the Lingzhi tree in his hand had swallowed one of his fingers at some point. The saw teeth on the edge kept chewing, and a huge suction force came from inside the trunk.
"The little thing is pretty good at biting."
Lu Xuan let the weird spiritual plant bite his fingers.
He practiced two body-building techniques, "Glazed Bone Forging Technique" and "Taixu Dragon Transformation Chapter", and also took jade scale fruit, golden marrow and jade liquid and other rare spiritual fruits to strengthen the body. His body was no longer as hard as some third-grade methods. To him, the biting of the weird spiritual plant was not much different from scratching.
He looked at the weird spiritual plant that was full of cracks, and he had a bad taste in his heart. He dug his fingers into the trunk and stirred it wantonly.
When he pulled out his finger, all the jagged teeth on the crack fell off and fell to the ground.
After he made such a fuss, Weird Lingzhi realized how powerful it was. Even if Lu Xuan took the initiative to bring his finger closer, the cracks on the tree trunk did not react at all.
"Although he doesn't seem very smart, he still has the most basic instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages."
Lu Xuan made a comment and continued to observe the strange spiritual plant in his hand that had become honest.
It seems that apart from the unusual aggressiveness, there is nothing new to discover.
"If you are in doubt, you can feed it."
"It doesn't matter whether it is a spiritual plant or a monster beast, or a half-spiritual plant and half-demon beast, feed it whatever you want, and it will be invisible in front of me"
Lu Xuan thought in his mind, the spiritual power surged in his body, the clouds above the spiritual plant changed, and a spiritual rain technique was like a slender waterfall, accurately watering the trunk, branches and leaves of the spiritual plant.
After the strange spiritual plant absorbed it, he concentrated on the plant, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Unknown spiritual plant, third-grade, formerly known as third-grade dragon-marked wood. After being affected by unknown powerful flesh and blood power for a long time, it gradually mutated into a new spiritual plant species. 】
[As a result, it has stronger vitality and is more aggressive, which can pose a great threat to monks below the foundation level. 】
[It can be used to refine elixirs that enhance the physical body. After proper processing, it can also assist in practicing certain body-refining techniques. 】
"The mutant spiritual plant was formerly the third-grade dragon-grained wood..."
Regarding the third-grade dragon-grained wood, Lu Xuan had seen it in a certain book in the Sutra Pavilion. It was extremely hard and was the best material for refining magical weapons and flying swords.
However, according to the records in the classics, the shape of the spiritual plant in his hand is very different, and it can be said that it is completely unrelated to it.
"What kind of breath of flesh and blood can turn a third-grade spiritual plant into this?"
Lu Xuan murmured to himself.
Although he already had a general understanding of the strange spiritual plant in front of him, he decided to study it for some more time.
Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching for Ge Pu to tell Lingzhi relevant information as soon as he stepped forward.
But he doesn’t mind showing off his ‘talent’ in spiritual cultivation, but he doesn’t want to be in the limelight either, he just wants to keep silent and make a fortune.
"Now that we know the origin of Lingzhi's heel, the next thing to do is to observe its habits, preferences, etc., to see if we can find the best way to deal with it."
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
Kavin is particularly stuck. If there is no second update later, I will make it up tomorrow.
