The thought flashed, and Lu Xuan felt a strange feeling coming from his body.
The spiritual power that was originally calm and peaceful suddenly surged, rushing back and forth between Lu Xuan's veins.
Half a moment later, the uncontrollable spiritual power gradually calmed down.
Lu Xuan felt the changes in his body carefully, and couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face.
His cultivation base has increased a lot, which is equivalent to three months of hard work on weekdays, and it is only a short distance away from breaking through to the third level of Qi training.
"It's been so long since time travel, and the gold finger has finally arrived."
Lu Xuan was overjoyed. In his previous life, both his mind and body were mediocre, and the aptitude and background of this body he occupied were also mediocre. If he didn't have cheats, he still doesn't know how to hang around in the world of practice.
A message popped up in his mind, and he somehow understood everything about the white light ball.
All the spiritual plants planted and cultivated by oneself will be rewarded with white light clusters after they are ripe and harvested. From the white light clusters, various things such as cultivation bases, magic tools, exercises, and elixir can be obtained.
The richness of rewards is related to many factors. The degree of participation in the growth of Lingzhi, the type, grade, and appearance of Lingzhi when it matures, etc., will all affect the size of the reward of the white light group.
The light cluster can only be seen and touched by oneself, and cannot be seen by outsiders. When you pick a spiritual plant that is not planted by yourself, you cannot get the reward of the light cluster.
"That is to say, as long as I successfully plant a spiritual plant, in addition to the spiritual plant itself, I can also get an additional light group reward?"
"Isn't that double the harvest, double the happiness?"
Lu Xuan looked at the spirit firefly grass and the moon eclipse tree that were thriving in the soil, and seemed to see white light clusters flickering towards him.
"I, Lu Xuan, can achieve what I am today because of my hard work in cultivation and taking care of Ling Zhi."
Lu Xuan couldn't help thinking.
He felt that since the appearance of the white light ball, the many spiritual plants in the spiritual field have also undergone inexplicable changes.
Lu Xuanfu went to his heart and concentrated his mind on the spirit firefly grass under his feet.
A slightly invisible progress bar appeared in the sky above the Yingyingcao, and the almost full progress bar indicated that the Yingyingcao in front of me was about to enter a fully mature stage.
A message flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.
"Just being nourished by the spiritual rain, I am satisfied, but the neighbor's rhizome is too big and too long, and it is a bit squeezed."
What is this, Lingzhi's instant state?
With doubts, Lu Xuan concentrated on a Lingyingcao next to him.
The progress bar was also more than half full, and a similar message flashed through his mind.
The spirit firefly grass next to it is growing quite well, but I also feel that the neighbor's rhizome is too long and too big, occupying its growth space.
"Then there's nothing you can do about it. The Lingtian is just so big, so I can only force you to do more."
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 Lingzhi, adjust the details, and make it mature faster and better.
Looking at the progress bar that was about to reach the top, he wished he could immediately use the spirit rain technique to ripen the spirit firefly grass.
But he also understands the truth that too much is too much, proper moisture is of great benefit to the spiritual plant, but if it is frequently moisturized, it is tantamount to counteracting the growth of the seedling.
Even if it is mature and of poor quality, it will affect the reward of the white light group.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan ripened the spirit firefly grass in his heart, and the thought of receiving the reward from 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 Lingzhi can be known, will the Lingyingcao eroded by the thin black lines also reveal the truth.
He held his breath and focused his attention on the spirit firefly grass tightly wound with thin black threads.
The progress bar is not much different from the previous two plants, and it is about to be full.
A piece of information flooded into Lu Xuan's mind.
"The firefly grass that has been infested by the black budworm larvae is in a worrying state. If it is not dealt with in time, the vitality in the body will be completely sucked by the black budworm and become dead grass."
"Black budworm larva..."
Lu Xuan muttered to himself, letting go of his hanging heart.
It would be much easier to know the origin of the black thin line, at least you don't have to be like a headless chicken with no direction to solve it.
Hearing the name, he felt a little familiar, hurried back to the house, and found a thick book.
"Common Hazards and Their Solutions".
It records hundreds of common monster insects that may harm the spiritual plant during the process of planting the elixir, as well as the treatment suggestions left by the author of the book.
Lu Xuan flipped through the pages, and quickly found detailed information about the black bud worm.
"Black bud worms, adults with the thickness of a little finger, come and go like the wind, and like to devour the branches and leaves of spiritual plants."
"When laying eggs, they will stay on the spiritual plant. After the eggs hatch, the larvae will grow by absorbing the vitality of the spiritual plant. When the vitality of the spiritual plant is exhausted, they will automatically leave and look for the next target."
"The solution. Adults need a monk who has three levels of Qi training and is good at attacking spells to deal with them safely."
"Eggs and larvae are extremely difficult for low-level Qi practitioners to detect unless they have a keen spiritual sense."
"Because the target of the larvae is too small, and it is connected with the spiritual plant, it is easy to affect and damage the spiritual plant when dealing with it. Therefore, it needs to be profoundly accomplished in certain specific spells, and it can be solved with fine manipulation."
Lu Xuan closed the book, closed his eyes and meditated.
"To avoid harming the spiritual plants infested by larvae, the spells used must meet two conditions."
"One is to have sufficient lethality, and the other is to control the damage range."
Due to his humble background and only the second level of Qi training, he has only mastered two low-level spells so far.
One is the spirit 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 knows these two spells but is not proficient, and he is completely unable to achieve fine control.
And the two spells don't look like specific spells that satisfy the needs of cleaning up black budworm larvae.
In the initial stage of the spirit rain technique, it could only nourish the spirit plants. Lu Xuan reckoned that the black bud worm larvae would not be damaged at all, but would be even more excited...
As for the fireball technique, although the damage is enough, if a fireball goes down, it will be the end of the spirit firefly grass and the black budworm larvae.
"It seems that we still have to go to Fangshi to seek help, let's spend money and eliminate disasters."
"Fortunately, we can prescribe the right medicine and save a little bit."
Lu Xuan touched the slightly shriveled cloth bag around his waist, and sighed quietly.
...
"Brother Lu, are you at home?"
Amidst the knock on the door, a loud voice came from outside the yard.
Immediately afterwards, a gray-black grass 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 that sensed that someone was about to invade the area of Lingtian and warned Lu Xuan.
"They all stopped outside the door for a while and greeted you before you called the police. If there was any malicious intent, you might not even be able to react when your home was stolen."
Looking at the retracted gray and black grass rope, Lu Xuan couldn't help but touch his forehead.
That voice sounded familiar, it was one of the few monks that Lu Xuan met through time travelling.
"Here we come, Brother Zhang!"
He responded, came to the gate of the courtyard, and opened the gate.
A tall, simple-looking monk walked in.
The name of the visitor was Zhang Hong, he was at the third level of Qi training, and he lived next door to Lu Xuan. There was a Taoist companion at the second level of Qi training, who raised a six or seven-year-old child, and gave Lu Xuan a lot of advice when he came here. Let him avoid a lot of crooked paths.
"Brother Zhang, please come in and have a cup of hot tea."
Lu Xuan led Zhang Hong into the house.
Zhang Hong turned his head to look at the well-growing lingyingcao and eclipse trees on both sides of the bluestone path, and nodded.
"Brother Lu, you have taken good care of these two kinds of spiritual plants. It seems that there will be a good harvest after a while."
"That's it. It can't be compared with those spiritual plants in the spiritual field in your family, Brother Zhang."
After Zhang Hong was seated, Lu Xuan made him a cup of hot tea.
In the tea bowl, two or three sticks of tender green tea were floating and sinking, spinning endlessly.
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 spirit tea in it.
"As expected of Qingyu tea, drinking it seems like a drizzle nourishes the heart. Only you, little brother Lu, 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 savored the effects of the spirit tea carefully, closed his eyes and shook his head, thinking of being aggrieved at home, he couldn't help but patted his thigh.
"No way, sister-in-law wants to prepare for Xiaoyuan's future, so naturally she can only plan carefully."
"That's true."
Zhang Hong sighed,
"Sometimes, I'm quite envious of you, little brother Lu, who are alone and don't have the pressure to support a family."
"You can live as you want. You don't have to argue about trivial matters, and you don't have to worry about whether the child can grow up healthily and smoothly. You don't have to think about what exercises he will practice or what sect he can enter in the future."
"How comfortable!"
"If Brother Zhang really became like me, he would think about how happy it would be to have a wife and children on the kang."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"You kid, you know so much at such a young age."
Zhang Hong just sighed casually, laughed, and changed the subject.
"I came here to find you this time because I want to tell you something."
"I learned from other sources that the Wang family, a large family in Fang City, accidentally got information about a secret realm, but the secret realm is far away in the wilderness, so after a while, hundreds of thousands of monks above the second floor of Qi training will be recruited, Go to open up the secret realm."
"See if you have any ideas. If so, you can prepare early."
"Reclaiming the secret realm?" Lu Xuan murmured, lost in thought.
"I'm going to take a look this time. A new secret realm appears. Although the risk is not small, the benefits will also be proportional to the risk. I have been staying in the city to grow spiritual plants, and the normal expenses of the family are difficult to maintain."
"As for you, little brother Lu, I personally recommend you to take a look. After all, there are foundation-builder cultivators from the Wang family rushing to the front, and those powerful monsters are hard to come across with our strength."
"The most important thing is, brother Lu, you are still young. Although it is safe to be a spiritual planter, the resources you can obtain are limited, and your strength is slowly improved. After planting spiritual plants for a long time, your heart will be slowly worn away. It is rare. There is a step closer to sharpness."
Zhang Hong looked at Lu Xuan who was thinking with his head down, and suggested aloud.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. Indeed, what Zhang Hong said is very reasonable. Although there are certain risks in developing a secret realm, it is still within the controllable range, and the emergence of a new secret realm often means huge benefits, even if you It will take a long time to fully digest the leftovers.
If it was before, he might still have a chance of agreeing.
But now, with the appearance of the white light cluster, this slight possibility is gone.
The purpose of venturing out is nothing more than to obtain cultivation resources, and then come back to exchange for pills, exercises, magic tools, etc., but all of these can be obtained by staying at home and planting spiritual plants!
The safety is higher, the income is greater, and farming is delicious!
He pretended to think for a while, with a tangled expression, finally raised his head, and said to Zhang Hong with apologetic eyes.
"Brother Zhang's kindness, I, Lu Xuanxin, accepted it. It's just that I've always been cautious and timid. In addition, my cultivation base is low, and I don't have any good spells. I'm afraid it's easy to go out and never return."
"So, I just want to stay at home, guard this small spiritual field, and grow spiritual plants quietly."
"As for the future, let's wait and see."
Seeing that Lu Xuan had made up his mind, Zhang Hong couldn't help but sigh.
"Your idea is not wrong. Although the risk of reclaiming a secret realm is not great, it does not mean that there is no risk at all. If a little bit is left out, if it falls on our little Qi training monk, it may cost a few lives."
"It's just that I have to go for it. Xiaoyuan can't practice a wild way like me."
The two were silent for a while, Zhang Hong sat for a while, then got up to leave, and asked Lu Xuan to take care of his little boy.
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, watched Zhang Hong leave, and closed the courtyard gate.
"With the appearance of the white light cluster, try to avoid putting yourself in danger in the future."
"If you don't have 90% certainty..., no, 90% certainty is equivalent to zero certainty, and if you are not 100% sure, then don't go out and take risks at will."
Lu Xuan looked at the Yingying grass and the eclipse moon fruit beside the bluestone path, feeling full of energy.
