Chapter 175 Two pupils eat one
He put away the ordinary second-grade defensive formations arranged outside the small courtyard, and took out the Qianhuan Yunyan Formation disk from the storage bag.
On the array disk, clouds and smoke flowed, and illusions abounded.
Lu Xuan found a suitable position, and his spiritual power activated the formation disk, which merged into the ground.
Immediately, milky white clouds and smoke rose from around the small courtyard, and there were many illusions, appearing quickly and disappearing in an instant.
From the outside, the small courtyard has a sense of alienation and unreality. If you want to force your way into it, as long as you get close, you will fall into the array of thousands of illusory clouds and smoke, and be harassed and tortured by endless illusions.
After the formation was deployed, Lu Xuan felt a lot more at ease. With this formation, even a late-stage foundation-building monk could resist for a long time.
What’s more, there are very few foundation-building monks staying in Jianmen Town for a long time. Most of them are in the realm of Qi training, which is more than enough to protect the several spiritual plants in the small courtyard.
“The second-grade formation is replaced by the fourth-grade formation. It can be said that the shotgun is replaced by a cannon. Thanks to Huanyan Luoguo for bringing the Thousand Fantasy Clouds and Smoke Formation.”
Lu Xuan was secretly grateful to Huanyan Luoguo, and became even more eager to plant high-grade spiritual plants.
He came to the spiritual field, found an empty area, and took out the poisonous wood spirit seed from the storage bag.
Spiritual power surged, and the Dacheng realm’s Earth Drawing Technique easily changed the structure underneath the spiritual soil, revealing a crack that could just accommodate the spiritual seed.
He put the poisonous spinel tree spirit seed into the crack, and immediately, a familiar thought flashed through his mind.
[Poisonous spinel wood, third-grade spiritual plant…]
“The spiritual energy environment in Jianmen Town is much worse than that in the sect. The turbid spiritual energy is more suitable for the growth of poisonous spinach. In addition, there are several underworld spiritual plants such as ghost-faced stone mushrooms. It can be said that they complement each other.”
“Compared with them, the poison-eating axenia is nothing.”
After planting the poisonous wood, he began to observe the growth status of the spiritual plants in the small courtyard’s spiritual field.
Due to the abundance of resentment, each of the five ghost-faced stone mushrooms is in excellent growth condition. The strange lines on them are much brighter than at the beginning. At first glance, they seem to be smiling at Lu Xuan.
There were less than ten ghosts and resentments wandering around in the yard. Their simple intelligence seemed to have noticed the danger in the area with the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, and they did not dare to approach it for a long time.
Suddenly, the strange face above a Ghost-Faced Stone Mushroom changed silently. Several Resentments not far away seemed to have discovered some unparalleled delicacy, and they all swarmed down and surrounded the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushroom.
The rest were also wandering around, seemingly waiting for the opportunity to enter.
About half a moment later, the pattern of the ghost-faced stone mushroom changed again after eating and drinking. The resentment surrounding it dispersed, and the spirit body became noticeably weaker.
“This is the result of low intelligence and being unable to withstand temptation. What you thought was a good opportunity was just a trap set by the other party.”
Lu Xuan sighed and took out the second-grade resentful soul bell magic weapon. The inner wall of the magic weapon, which was originally crowded with the resentment of the ghosts, seemed much empty after being released three times. There were less than a hundred left in total.
Lu Xuan’s spiritual consciousness controlled the Resentment Bell and released fifty resentments from it.
The extra fifty resentments suddenly made the entire small courtyard feel much colder, and from time to time, shrill whistles could be heard.
“Staying in the Resentful Soul Bell Magic Artifact, becoming a monk’s tool, even if you die, you will not be reincarnated.”
“Instead of doing this, it is better to release you and raise spiritual plants so that you can transcend and enter reincarnation as soon as possible.”
Lu Xuan looked at the many ghosts and resentments wandering aimlessly in the yard and said with a compassionate look on his face.
After solving the nutrient problem of the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, Lu Xuan came to the Thorn Bone.
The skeleton of the second-grade demon beast Purple Clouded Leopard that was left behind has been more than half absorbed by the thorn bone. With a gentle touch, the tiny bone fragments fell down and piled on the ground.
Only the third-grade armored cow skeleton can still withstand being sucked and still retains its complete form.
Finally, Lu Xuan came to the fourth-grade Hundred-Eyed Creepy Wood.
On the dry branches like old faces, dozens of eyes were either tightly closed or half-opened, looking extremely evil.
When Lu Xuan approached, his eyes seemed to be aware of it, and all his eyes were focused on him.
The dozens of evil looks made Lu Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.
The third-grade unsullied jade on his chest suddenly produced a cold, invisible airflow, pouring into his mind, and the discomfort immediately disappeared.
“This fourth-grade strange tree with hundreds of pupils is indeed evil. Even just looking at the pupils on the branches makes people feel uncomfortable.”
Lu Xuan remembered the reminder he received when he planted the Hundred-Eyed Tree, not to look directly at it for a long time, otherwise the monk might lose his mind.
Extremely awake, he came to Baitongguimu. The purple clouded leopard’s eyes left last time had turned gray and couldn’t feel the slightest life. With a gentle touch, they turned into powder and scattered on the ground. A thin, pale The tentacle quickly retreated into one eye pupil.
Lu Xuan took out more than ten pupils from the raw material bag that he had received from the mission. Since the raw material bag can greatly slow down the loss of vitality, these pupils were well preserved and very fresh.
As if sensing something, on the old and dry branches, strange eyes opened in unison, staring at Lu Xuan, with resentful and longing eyes.
“Is the fourth-grade spiritual plant so wild? It can actually feel the changes in emotions. Or is it that this strange tree with hundreds of eyes is the only one in front of me that is special?”
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart, and more than a dozen monster beast eyes were thrown towards the strange pupils on the branches.
Suddenly, tiny tentacles shot out from the pupils one after another, tightly adhering to the fresh monster eyes.
Among them, the eye pupil of the second-grade monster was fought over by several small tentacles, and was finally occupied by the two closest tentacles.
“Huh? Two women serve one husband together, so I have two eyes sharing one eye?”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
After meeting the special conditions for several underworld spiritual plants in the yard, Lu Xuan used basic spells such as Spiritual Rain Technique and Mu Sheng Technique to ensure their basic growth.
Afterwards, he left the small courtyard and wandered around the various stalls in Qingshi Square. He bought some daily necessities and returned to Zongmen Cave without staying any longer.
As soon as he entered the house, the baby falcon flew on top of his head. A pair of light blue wings kept fluttering, and it chirped crisply from time to time. It was like a child who had been waiting for a long time in the house, coquettishly asking for sweets and snacks from its parents who had returned from an outing.
“You are a glutton. You are so fat that you still only think about eating. Look at that little white bird from a few days ago. How elegant and calm it is.”
Lu Xuan scolded him while taking out the specially bought spirit fruit and wind attribute monster meat from his storage bag.
“And yours.”
He came to the cloud-walking lynx, which pretended to be elegant but whose thick soles were actually changing uneasily, took out its favorite monster meat, tore it into strips and placed it in front of him.
There was no change in the green pupils of the cloud-walking lynx, except for the two dull tufts of hair on the tips of its ears that seemed to be dancing.
