The thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Xuan felt something strange coming from his body.
The originally calm and peaceful spiritual energy suddenly surged, rushing back and forth among Lu Xuan’s tendons.
After half a moment, the uncontrolled spiritual power gradually calmed down.
Lu Xuan felt the changes in his body carefully, and couldn’t help but show a hint of joy on his face.
His cultivation level has increased a lot, and it is equivalent to three months of hard training on weekdays. He is only a short distance away from breaking through to the third level of Qi training.
“It took me so long to travel through time, and Goldfinger finally arrived.”
Lu Xuan was overjoyed. In his previous life, his mind and body were just average, and the body he occupied had ordinary qualifications and background. Without cheats, he didn’t know how he could survive in the world of cultivation.
A piece of information emerged in his mind, and he understood everything about this white light group.
Any spiritual plant and spiritual grass that you plant and cultivate with your own hands will be rewarded with a white light group when mature and harvested. From the white light group, you can develop various things such as cultivation, magic weapons, exercises, and elixirs.
The richness of the reward is related to many factors. Your participation in the growth process of the spiritual plant, the type and grade of the spiritual plant, its appearance when mature, etc. will all affect the size of the white light group reward.
The light group can only be seen and touched by you, and cannot be seen by outsiders. If you pick spiritual plants that you did not plant with your own hands, you will not be able to obtain the light group reward.
“In other words, as long as I successfully plant a spiritual plant, in addition to the spiritual plant itself, I will also receive an additional light group reward?”
“Isn’t that double the harvest and double the happiness?”
Lu Xuan looked at the firefly grass and moon eclipse tree growing vigorously in the soil, and seemed to see white light groups flashing towards him.
“I, Lu Xuan, am able to achieve what I am today because of my hard work and hard work in taking care of spiritual plants.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but think about it.
He felt that since the white light group appeared, the many spiritual plants in the spiritual field had also undergone inexplicable changes.
Lu Xuanfu reached deep into his heart and concentrated his attention on a firefly plant at his feet.
A slightly invisible progress bar appeared above the firefly. The nearly full progress bar indicated that the firefly in front of you was about to enter a fully mature stage.
A message flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.
“I’ve just been nourished by the spiritual rain, and I’m very satisfied. It’s just that the neighbor’s rhizome is too big and too long, so it’s a little squeezed.”
What is this, Lingzhi’s immediate state? Lu Xuan was confused and focused on a firefly plant nearby.
The progress bar was also more than half full, and the same message flashed through his mind.
The firefly next to it is growing quite well, but I also feel that the neighbor’s rhizome is too long and too large, taking up its growing space.
“Then there’s nothing we can do about it. The spiritual field is so big, so I can only force you to do it. It’s just adding root to root.”
Lu Xuan sighed.
Whether it is the growth progress bar or the real-time status, it is of great help to him, allowing him to grasp the growth needs of spiritual plants and adjust the details to make them mature faster and better.
Looking at the progress bar that was about to reach the top, he wished he could use the Spiritual Rain Technique immediately to ripen the Spiritual Firefly Grass.
But he also knows that too much is not enough. Proper moisture is of great benefit to spiritual plants, but if it is moistened frequently, it is equivalent to destroying the seedlings and encouraging their growth.
Even if it is mature and in poor condition, it will affect the reward of the white light group.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan’s thoughts of ripening the firefly grass and getting the reward of the light group immediately dissipated.
When he was about to go back to the house, he thought of something and turned around to the west of the yard.
Now that the real-time status of the spiritual plant can be known, will the truth be revealed by the spiritual firefly eroded by the thin black lines?
He held his breath and concentrated on the firefly grass tightly entwined with thin black threads.
The progress bar is not much different from the previous two plants, and it is also about to be full.
A piece of information poured into Lu Xuan’s mind.
“The fireflies that have been infested by black budworm larvae are in a worrying state. If not treated in time, the vitality in the body will be completely sucked by the black budworm and reduced to withered grass.”
“Black budworm larvae…”
Lu Xuan murmured to himself, half relieved.
It would be much easier to deal with it if you knew the origin of the black thin line. At least you no longer have to be like a headless fly with no solution.
When he heard the name, he felt it sounded familiar. He hurried back to the house and pulled out a thick book.
“Common harmful pests and their solutions”.
It records hundreds of common monster insects that may harm spiritual plants during the process of planting elixirs, as well as treatment suggestions left by the author of the book.
Lu Xuan flipped through the pages and quickly found detailed information about the black budworm.
“The black budworm is as thick as a little finger as an adult. It comes and goes like the wind. It likes to devour the branches and leaves of spiritual plants.”
“When the eggs are laid, they will stay on the spiritual plants. After the eggs hatch, the larvae will grow by absorbing the vitality of the spiritual plants. When the vitality of the spiritual plants is exhausted, they will automatically leave and look for the next target.”
“Solution. The adult insects require a third level of Qi training and a monk who is good at attacking spells to deal with them safely.”
“Unless their spiritual awareness is sharp, insect eggs and larvae are extremely difficult for low-level Qi practitioners to detect.”
“Because the target of the larvae is too small and is connected to the spiritual plant, it can easily damage the spiritual plant when dealing with it. Therefore, it requires deep knowledge in certain specific spells and detailed control to solve it.”
Lu Xuan closed the book, closed his eyes and meditated.
“To avoid harming the spiritual plants corroded by the larvae, the spell used must meet two conditions.”
“First, it must have sufficient lethality, and second, the damage range must be controlled.”
Due to his humble background and only the second level of Qi training, he currently only masters two low-level spells.
One is the spiritual rain technique, which is mainly used to cultivate spiritual plants, and the other is the fireball technique, which is also used for self-defense.
But he was proficient in these two spells but not good at them, and was completely unable to achieve precise control.
And the two spells don’t look like specific spells that can clean up black budworm larvae.
In the early stage of the spiritual rain technique, it can only nourish the spiritual plants. Lu Xuan estimated that if he casts one spell, not only will the black budworm larvae be unharmed, but they will become even more excited…
As for the fireball technique, although the damage is enough, if one fireball goes down, it will be the end of the firefly grass and the black budworm larvae.
“It seems that we still have to go to the city to seek help and spend money to eliminate the disaster.”
“Fortunately, we can prescribe the right medicine and save a little bit.”
Lu Xuan touched the slightly dry cloth bag around his waist and sighed quietly.
“Brother Lu, are you at home?”
Amidst the knocking on the door, a loud voice came from outside the yard.
Immediately afterwards, a gray-black straw rope swam over from the corner of the yard and gently tapped Lu Xuan’s knee.
It was the grass puppet staying in the yard who sensed that someone was about to invade the spiritual field and warned Lu Xuan.
“People stopped outside the door for a while and shouted greetings before you alerted them. If there was really any malicious intent, you might not even react if your home was stolen.”
Lu Xuan looked at the retracted gray and black straw rope and couldn’t help but hold his forehead.
That voice sounded familiar. It was one of the few monks Lu Xuan knew from time travel.
“Here we come, Brother Zhang!”
He responded, came to the courtyard gate, and opened the gate.
A tall monk with a simple and honest appearance walked in.
The visitor’s name is Zhang Hong, who is on the third level of Qi training. He lives next door to Lu Xuan. There is a Taoist monk on the second level of Qi training. He has a six or seven-year-old child. He gave Lu Xuan a lot of advice when he first came here. It saved him from taking many detours.
“Brother Zhang, please come inside and have a cup of hot tea.”
Lu Xuan took Zhang Hong towards the house.
Zhang Hong turned his head and looked at the well-growing fireflies and eclipse trees on both sides of the bluestone path, and nodded.
“Brother Lu, you have taken good care of these two spiritual plants. It looks like there will be a good harvest in a while.”
“That’s it. It can’t be compared with the spiritual plants in your spiritual field at home, Brother Zhang.”
After Zhang Hong sat down, Lu Xuan made him a cup of hot tea.
Two or three tender green tea leaves floated and swirled in the tea bowl.
Zhang Hong didn’t take it seriously. He knew Lu Xuan’s cultivation and family background. It was quite polite to have a cup of tea with spiritual tea.
“It is indeed Qingyu tea. Drinking it feels like drizzle is nourishing your heart. Only with you, little brother Lu, can you have the opportunity to drink such a good cup of tea.”
“At home, your sister-in-law doesn’t allow anything. It’s boring.”
Zhang Hong carefully recalled the effects of the spiritual tea, closed his eyes and shook his head. Thinking of the frustration at home, he couldn’t help but pat his thigh.
“There is no other way. My sister-in-law has to prepare for Xiaoyuan’s future, so she naturally has to be more careful.”
“That’s true.”
Zhang Hong sighed, “Sometimes, I quite envy you, little brother Lu, for being alone and not having the pressure to support your family.”
“You can live your life however you want. You don’t have to quarrel over trivial matters like tea, rice, oil and salt. You don’t have to worry about whether your child can grow up healthily and smoothly. You don’t have to worry about what skills he practices or what sect he can enter in the future.”
“How comfortable!”
“If Brother Zhang really becomes like me, he will probably think about how happy it would be to have a wife and children to warm the bed.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“You are a young man, but you know so much.”
Zhang Hong just sighed casually, laughed, and changed the topic.
“I came to see you this time because there is something I want to tell you.”
“I learned from other sources that the Wang family, a big family in Fang City, accidentally obtained information about a secret realm. However, the secret realm is far away in the wilderness. Therefore, over a period of time, hundreds of thousands of monks who are above the second level of Qi training will be recruited. Go and reclaim the secret realm.”
“See if you have any ideas. If so, you can make preparations early.”
“Creating a secret realm?” Lu Xuan muttered, lost in thought.
“I will go over and take a look this time. A new secret realm has appeared. Although the risk is not small, the return will be proportional to the risk. If you stay in the market and plant spiritual plants all the time, it will be difficult to maintain the normal expenses of the family.”
“As for you, little brother Lu, I personally suggest you take a look. After all, there are foundation-building monks from the Wang family rushing at the front, and those powerful monsters and spirits are difficult to encounter with our strength.”
“The most important thing is that, little brother Lu, you are still young. Although being a spiritual planter is stable, the resources you can obtain are limited and your strength improves slowly. As you plant spiritual plants for a long time, your energy will be slowly worn away. It is rare. It’s a step closer to sharpness.”
Zhang Hong looked at Lu Xuan, who was thinking with his head down, and suggested.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. Indeed, what Zhang Hong said makes sense. Although there are certain risks in opening up secret realms, they are still within the controllable range. Moreover, the emergence of new secret realms often means huge benefits, even for himself. Even a mouthful of leftovers will take a long time to be fully digested.
If it had been before, he might have had a chance of agreeing.
But now, with the appearance of the white light group, this slight possibility has disappeared.
The purpose of venturing out is nothing more than to obtain cultivation resources, and then come back to exchange for elixirs, exercises, magic weapons, etc. But you can get all of these by staying at home and growing spiritual plants!
It’s safer, it’s more profitable, and it’s fun to farm!
He pretended to think for a while, with a tangled expression, and finally raised his head and said to Zhang Hong with apologetic eyes.
“Brother Zhang’s kindness is appreciated, and I, Lu Xuanxin, accept it. It’s just that I’m always cautious and fearful of getting into trouble, and with my low cultivation level and lack of skills that I’m good at, I’m afraid it’s easy for me to go out and never come back.”
“So, I just want to stay at home, guard this small spiritual field, and quietly plant spiritual plants.”
“As for the future, let’s wait and see.”
Zhang Hong couldn’t help but sigh when he saw that Lu Xuan had made up his mind.
“Your idea is not wrong. Although the risk of opening up the secret realm is not high, it does not mean that there is no risk at all. If a little bit is left out, it may cost a few lives if it falls on our little Qi Practitioner monks.”
“It’s just that I have to try it out. Xiaoyuan can’t practice a wild technique like me.”
The two were silent for a while. Zhang Hong sat for a while, then stood up to leave, and asked Lu Xuan to take more care of his little cub.
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, watched Zhang Hong leave, and closed the courtyard door.
“With the appearance of the white light group, try to avoid putting yourself in danger in the future.”
“If you are not 90% sure…, no, 90% sure is equivalent to zero sure. If you are not 100% sure, then don’t go out and take risks.”
Lu Xuan looked at the firefly grass and moon eclipse fruit beside the bluestone path and felt confident.
