“The following is our destination.
High in the sky, Senior Sister Yao pointed at a huge lake on the ground and said to Lu Xuan and the others.
The lake stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are ten small islands in it.
After the three of them took a short rest in Jianmen Town, they set off together. In less than an hour, the Feizhou Magical Artifact arrived near its destination.
“There are several small families living on those small islands. They mainly make a living by raising water animals and planting spiritual plants. We are going to the Zhang family among them.”
“The uncle of the current head of the Zhang family was once an outer disciple of the Tianjian Sect, and he had a good relationship with the uncle who entrusted me to come here.”
“It’s just that several attempts to break through and build the foundation ended in failure. In the end, my life span was exhausted and I died in depression.”
“Because of this little incense, my uncle asked the descendant of the same family to help plant spiritual plants. It can be regarded as a kind of protection for them.”
In the introduction of the beautiful woman, the flying boat magic weapon landed on one of the larger islands.
There were already more than a dozen monks waiting on the island. When they saw Lu Xuan and the others, eager smiles suddenly appeared on their faces.
“I have met Senior Sister Yao and two Senior Brothers.”
The leader was white-haired, but in good spirits. He was at about the eighth level of Qi training, and he saluted the three of them.
“Senior Brother Zhang is so polite. You are much older than me. Just call me Junior Sister.”
Senior Sister Yao gently raised her hands upwards and lifted up the white-haired old man who was bending down and bowing his head.
The attitude of everyone behind the white-haired old man was equally respectful. Lu Xuan glanced at them and saw that there were more than ten people, men, women, old and young. Their cultivation levels were mainly at the middle level of Qi training, and there were even monks who were still at the low level of Qi training.
After a few words of greeting, the white-haired old man, Zhang Jiajia Zhang Yutang, invited Lu Xuan and the others into a hall.
“I heard that Senior Sister Yao was coming to help solve the pest problem, so I asked my family to prepare it early. When Senior Sister comes, we can eat directly.”
Zhang Yutang said with a smile.
“Senior Sister Yao, two senior brothers, come and try the freshly prepared spiritual fish.”
“This spirit fish is a specialty of our Xingluo Lake. It lives in deep water and is difficult to see. It can only be caught with special means.”
When Lu Xuan heard this, he opened the white jade cover on the table in front of him. Suddenly, the steam was rising, and an alluring fragrance spread into his mouth and nose.
He picked up a piece of almost transparent fish meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
The fish meat melts in your mouth, and the delicious, smooth and tender feeling goes straight to the sky.
“good.”
He nodded with satisfaction and praised aloud.
“It’s really good. The last time I ate this spiritual fish was a few years ago. I’ve always been thinking about this delicious food.”
The beautiful woman said with a smile.
“Senior Brother Zhang, I haven’t seen you for a few years. Your cultivation has improved further and you are expected to break through to foundation building.”
The white-haired old man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“My own situation is still clear. Although it seems that I am close to the foundation building stage. I may have broken through to the eighth level of Qi training. I have already tried my best. Going higher will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.”
“Now, all I want to do is to take good care of the Zhang family, and then cultivate a few outstanding juniors, so that they can work hard to join the Tianjian Sect and restore the glory of the Zhang family.”
“Oh, does this generation of the Zhang family have young talents with good talents? If so, I can report it to Master He on your behalf.”
Senior Sister Yao pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
“Two of them are pretty good, Cheng Xin and Cheng Ning. Come out and pay homage to Senior Yao.”
Zhang Yutang clapped his hands, and the two teenagers walked out of the crowd and bowed to the beautiful woman.
The white-haired old man looked at the two energetic young men with an expression of great expectation.
“It’s indeed good. Practice hard and strive to enter the Tianjian Sect together.”
Senior Sister Yao affirmed to the two teenagers.
“This is the magic weapon I used when I was training at the intermediate level of qi. I have kept it forever. I will give it to you two today. I hope to see you in Tianjian Sect soon.”
She took out two first-grade magic weapons from her storage bag and presented them to the two teenagers.
The two teenagers quickly expressed their gratitude.
Lu Xuan and the other person were busy dealing with the spiritual fish meat in front of them.
They were all here only at the invitation of the woman and had nothing to do with the Zhang family monks. Naturally, they would not behave like Senior Sister Yao.
“Senior Brother Zhang, please take us over to see the spiritual plants that have encountered pest problems this time.”
“Resolve it as soon as possible and feel relieved as soon as possible.”
After having enough wine and food, Senior Sister Yao said to the white-haired old man.
“Okay then, I will take the three senior sisters to see the spiritual plant.”
Zhang Yutang had been waiting for this sentence for a long time and nodded hurriedly in response.
Lu Xuan and the others followed him and the Zhang family monks. Not long after walking, they entered a huge spiritual plant garden.
The spiritual plant garden is somewhat different from the spiritual field that Lu Xuan owned before. It is not in the form of a spiritual field. It seems to be built directly on a swamp.
The ground is damp and rotten, with many puddles, and not far away is the sparkling lake.
There are hundreds of peach trees planted in the spiritual garden. In such an environment, the leaves grow extremely vividly and reveal a moist luster.
Among the dense leaves, there are many red peaches hanging, with shallow water ripples on the surface.
“This is the water peach grown by the Zhang family. It is a first-grade spiritual plant. The mature peach can be eaten as a spiritual fruit and can also be used to refine elixirs.”
Zhang Yutang introduced Lu Xuan and the others.
“Some time ago, a strange insect appeared in Shuize Lingtao. It usually hides in the rotten mud. It is extremely concealed and difficult to detect.”
“The appearance of the strange insect is somewhat similar to the trunk of a spiritual peach tree. It is not very aggressive and can be dealt with by low-level Qi-training monks. However, the damage to spiritual plants is relatively serious.”
“The Zhang family has organized several large-scale insect pest cleanup activities, but they have been unable to completely eliminate them. After cleaning up a batch, another batch appeared.”
“Because I was worried that if things continued like this, it would affect the growth of the Shuizhu Lingtao, I had no choice but to turn to the sect for help. I hope that with the help of the sect’s powerful spiritual planters, we can successfully solve the pest problem.”
Zhang Yutang introduced the specific pest situation to Lu Xuan and the others in detail.
“Cultivators of the Zhang family must have caught a lot of insects recently. Can’t we judge the name of the species from their appearance and characteristics?”
The ordinary-looking Yan Ping asked aloud.
“After catching it, the spiritual planter in the family checked the classics and asked the monks from several other families on the island. None of them had seen that kind of strange insect.”
“However, the heritage of the small family is there. Compared with the sect, there is a huge difference. I believe Senior Sister Yao and the two senior brothers should be able to determine the species of the strange insect.”
The white-haired old man Zhang Yutang said slowly, and Lu Xuan and the other three separated, each chose a direction, and carefully observed the growth of the Shuize Lingpeach plant.
