Linyang Fang City.
The sky had just dawned, and the fog had not dissipated, and the whole city was shrouded in a layer of hazy white air as thin as a veil.
A small courtyard surrounded by blue-gray stone walls is about three feet long and two feet wide. Most of the area is gray-black soil, leaving only a narrow bluestone path in the middle.
In the gray-black soil, some low-grade spiritual plants were planted. Under the silent nourishment of the fog all night, the spiritual plants glowed with vitality, lazily stretching their tender green branches and leaves.
With a creak, a stone house at the end of the bluestone path opened, and a boy came out.
The boy was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a gray shirt, tall and tall, with a handsome appearance, and bright and clear eyes.
It was Lu Xuan who had traveled here for quite some time.
He was originally an ordinary young man on earth, but he never thought of waking up, inexplicably occupying the body of this young man, and becoming an insignificant spiritual planter among all living beings in the practice world.
After overcoming the initial confusion and fear, Lu Xuan gradually adapted to his new identity.
Standard start, no father and no mother, all alone, average aptitude, second-level qi training, with years of accumulation, rented a spiritual field in Fangshi, planted spiritual herbs, and worked hard in this dangerous environment where the weak and the strong preyed on the strong. The practice world survives.
The thin mist blowing in the courtyard made Lu Xuan, who had just woken up, wake up a lot. He surrounded the spiritual plants and observed them carefully.
There are twenty or thirty spiritual plants, and there is a certain gap between each plant. It is about a foot high, with slender leaves, and there are dots of pale white fluorescence on them, which are dotted like stars in the white mist.
These are Lingyingcao, a first-level spiritual plant, which is relatively easy to grow. When mature, it can be used as a material for refining several healing elixirs, and it is widely used in the practice world.
In addition to the Lingying grass, there are two trees in the yard, one is the eclipse tree, and the other is also the eclipse tree.
The moon eclipse tree is a first-order spiritual plant. Under Lu Xuan's careful care, it has grown well and is a bit taller than his head. Among the emerald green leaves, there are dozens of hook-like silver-white fruits looming.
These fruits are called eclipse moon fruits, which look like a crescent moon when they first formed, and gradually the crescent moon becomes larger and becomes a full moon when it matures.
Ripe moon eclipse fruit can be taken directly, which can slightly increase the aura in the body of low-level Qi training monks, and can also be used to refine precious medicines such as Peiyuan Pill.
The moon eclipse tree is slightly more difficult and rare than the firefly grass, and Lu Xuan puts the most thought into it.
Both kinds of spiritual plants are growing quite well, but there is a trace of worry on Lu Xuan's face.
He walked quickly to the west side of the yard, squatted down, pinched the leaves of a sprig of firefly near the stone wall with two fingers, and carefully turned the back side over.
As expected, there were strands of light black thin lines on the back of the leaves. If Lu Xuan hadn't been careful, the black lines as thin as a hair would have been extremely difficult to spot.
"Compared to yesterday, the number of black thin lines is significantly higher."
Lu Xuan secretly contrasted in his heart, looking at the Lingying grass eroded by the thin lines, he couldn't help but sighed softly.
When he was taking care of Lingzhi two days ago, he happened to find that there was something wrong with a Lingying grass near the stone wall. After searching for a long time, he finally found these thin black lines on the back of the leaves.
The thin thread seems to be integrated with the spirit firefly grass, tightly adhered together, and it is extremely difficult to separate.
Lu Xuan is just a low-level spiritual planter, with ordinary background and poor relevant knowledge, so he doesn't know what the black thin line is.
There was no way to prescribe the right medicine, so in desperation, he had to carefully separate the black thread from the back of the leaf with the aura in his body.
I exhausted my spiritual energy and mind to manage to clean it up, but I went to observe it the next day, and the black thin lines suddenly appeared again, and the number was increasing day by day.
"According to this trend, in a day or two, this spirit firefly grass will be occupied by thin black lines, and it is likely to spread to the nearby spirit firefly grass."
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was worried and stayed where he was.
He had thought about pulling out this spirit firefly grass, so that the firefly grass near it would not be stained with black thin lines.
But after a little weighing, he canceled this idea.
After all, the origin of the black thin thread is unknown, and Lu Xuan doesn't know how to erode the spirit firefly grass. It's good to have an effect after pulling it out. Tears.
"For the current plan, I have to go to Fangshi to find an orthodox and experienced spiritual planter to help solve it."
"I finally saved up some spirit stones... I originally planned to pay the rent for the spirit field in two months."
Lu Xuan is just a casual cultivator on the second level of Qi training, and he has no way to completely own a spiritual field that belongs to him.
The small spiritual field in the courtyard was rented by him from a mid-level qi practitioner in Fang City, and he needed to pay a lot of spiritual stones every month.
"In the next period of time, we can only tighten our belts to live."
He stood up, looking resolute.
After the spiritual plant matures, it can be sold to shops and monks in the square city. In addition to the rent and daily cultivation needs, there will be a little left over for the spiritual stone.
But if it is used to ask for help from a senior spiritual planter, it will have to bleed profusely.
Lu Xuan made a decision in his heart and looked around.
A circle of black thorns surrounded the limestone wall, with densely packed sharp black thorns, which played a certain protective role.
However, the defense ability is better than nothing. It can only defend against gentlemen, not villains, let alone those strange insects and beasts that are surreptitious and covet spiritual plants.
"After dealing with this matter, it is necessary to save some spirit stones and get a protective formation to avoid similar incidents from happening again."
"It's completely unrealistic to rely on this puppet to guard the Lingtian."
Lu Xuan looked at a straw puppet standing in the corner of the yard.
The puppet was about three feet tall, leaning against the wall of the yard. Its body was made of unknown dry grass. It had a big head and a small body. On its deformed head, there was a tumor made of gray dry grass.
This grass puppet was a second-hand product that Lu Xuan bought at a stall in Fangshi. According to the stall owner, the puppet came from the Qianji School in the practice world, and had a simple behavior pattern. It was often used to guard some lower-rank Lingtian.
If it senses that a monk or a monster has entered the range of the spiritual field, the grass puppet will send an early warning to the owner of the spiritual field. If it finds that the other party has a tendency to harm the spiritual plant of the spiritual field, the grass puppet will also actively attack and trap the other party.
However, the one in the yard might be a second-hand one, and the warning effect is sometimes ineffective. As for the active attack, don't even think about it.
Of course, it also has a lot to do with Lu Xuan himself. Since he crossed over, he has basically stayed behind closed doors, and has had little communication with the outside world, so no monks or monsters have entered the courtyard.
Lu Xuan glared at the grass puppet with the bruise in hatred, and spiritual energy surged in his body, and traces of spiritual rain appeared above the spirit firefly grass and the eclipse tree, fell on the branches and leaves, and penetrated into it.
Moisturized by the spiritual rain, the spiritual plants in the spiritual field appear greener and cleaner, with the spotless branches and leaves swaying gently, showing their charm.
This is the spiritual rain technique that every spiritual planter must learn. It can integrate subtle spiritual energy into water vapor to nourish the spiritual plants to ensure their smooth growth.
"Huh? This spirit firefly has entered maturity."
After Lu Xuan irrigated each spirit plant once, he found that on a spirit firefly grass, dots of fluorescent light kept flickering, as if they were about to fall off from the leaves.
He hurried back to the house, took out a white jade box, carefully picked the Lingyingcao, and put it into the jade box.
The jade box can slow down the loss of spiritual power in the spiritual plant, and can guarantee its medicinal power to a certain extent.
"What's this?"
Lu Xuan closed the jade box, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly found a fist-sized white light cluster in the place where the spirit firefly grass had been planted.
Curiously, Lu Xuan reached out his hand and gently touched the white light cluster.
In an instant, countless light spots on the light ball poured into his palm, and a thought flashed in his mind involuntarily.
"Harvest a spirit firefly grass, and get a three-month cultivation base."
Seedlings need to be cultivated by everyone, you follow up and I will update.
