Chapter 11 - Blight

Although the first-grade magic weapon Cracking Silver Blade brought by Eclipse Moon Fruit is only a fragment and needs to be collected and combined, Lu Xuan is still quite satisfied.

You must know that in the cultivation world, among the cultivation resources of the same level, magic tools and exercises are the most valuable category, followed by formations, pills, and talismans, etc., and finally various cultivation materials, such as spirit herbs, spirits, etc. Mine, the flesh and blood of monsters.

And the Eclipse Moon Tree is just an unqualified spiritual plant, even if it is only a fragment of a magic weapon, it can be regarded as a surprise.

He looked at the three silver-white flakes flying around his body, looking forward to the moment when the synthesis of the split silver blade was completed.

During this day, there was another sound from the courtyard where no monks had come to disturb.

Outside the yard, there was a gentle voice that was slightly anxious.

"Brother Lu, are you home?"

Lu Xuan immediately recognized that the owner of the voice was Zhang Hong's wife.

He didn't see it many times, only when he was a guest at Zhang Hong's house. In his impression, it was a beautiful and gentle woman named Xu Wan, who was at the second level of Qi training.

Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door, and saw Xu Wan with a haggard expression at a glance.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Please be admitted to the hospital."

"No, Brother Lu, I really have something to trouble you."

Seeing Lu Xuan's appearance, Xu Wan's rapid breathing slowed down a lot.

"I heard old Zhang from my family say before that, brother Lu, black bud worm larvae appeared in your spiritual field, and it took a lot of spiritual stones to find someone to solve it."

"Recently, many casual cultivators in the northern district have suffered from insect infestation. I have been guarding against it day and night, but I still haven't prevented it. The Lingtian at home has been invaded by the black bud larvae. It has reached a serious level when I found it."

"I want to ask Brother Lu, what casual practitioners nearby can kill the black budworm larvae, and how much will it cost?"

Lu Xuanlue pondered for a while, and told Xu Wan the information he had received.

"I know three of them, Fairy Lingyun who is good at flying needles, sword cultivator Li Xu who turns sword into silk, and Qin Ming who is proficient in ice magic. Among the three, Qin Ming has the lowest price and needs seven pieces." Lingshi, there is some room for bargaining."

"Seven spirit stones..."

When Xu Wan heard this, a tangle flashed in her eyes, she pursed her lips, and rubbed her hands unnaturally in front of her abdomen.

In order to be more prepared, her husband, Zhang Hong, spent most of the family's savings, and the children in the family spent a lot of money. If seven spirit stones were spent to solve the pest infestation, then eating would be a problem for the next few days.

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

She finally decided to ask someone to get rid of the black budworm larvae, her expression returned to normal, she thanked Lu Xuan, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Lu Xuan called Xu Wan to stop, and when she turned around, she said affirmatively.

"Sister-in-law, I have made rapid progress in a technique not long ago, and now I am almost 70% sure of killing the black budworm larvae, why don't you let me go and have a look first?"

"Then thank you, Brother Lu."

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Xu Wan's face flashed with surprise. She didn't want to ask Lu Xuan to help in vain, but whoever would pay more for a monk at the fourth level of Qi training or a monk at the second level of Qi training? It is clear at a glance.

If Lu Xuan could solve it, it would be a small saving.

Lu Xuan closed the courtyard door and followed Xu Wan with his head down.

When he asked Zhang Hong's wife if he needed help, he thought about it.

After the white light group appeared in the spiritual field, the first thing he had to avoid was to put himself in danger.

This time the Zhang family was not far next door, and what I had to deal with was the black budworm larvae that didn't do much damage.

Before, the adults of the black bud worms were killed by the Gengjin Sword Art. Now, my cultivation base is deeper, and my understanding of the Sword Art is deeper. At the same time, I still have the fragments of the split silver blade and many talismans in my hand. I must deal with it. The black budworm larvae are still fine.

Lu Xuan thought very steadily.

Besides that, there is another main reason.

From the memory of the original body, he was able to successfully become a spiritual planter and received a lot of help from Zhang Hong. When he first rented the small spiritual field, Zhang Hong lent him some spiritual stones.

After occupying this body, I also received some advice from him on how to cultivate Lingzhi. In addition, that kid Zhang Xiuyuan is quite cute, so I just took this opportunity to visit him.

The two families were not far apart, and soon, Lu Xuan followed Xu Wan into her courtyard.

Zhang Xiuyuan was guarding the Lingtian, when he saw Lu Xuan coming in, a trace of joy appeared on his face, but he didn't know what to think, he pouted and turned his head away.

"Zhang Xiuyuan!"

Xu Wan shouted sternly.

"Hello, Uncle Lu." The child yelled reluctantly, a little afraid of his mother.

"good."

Lu Xuan didn't take it seriously, and came to the edge of the Zhang family Lingtian.

The spiritual field in the yard is nearly twice the size of his own spiritual field, and there are more types of spiritual plants planted. In addition to the spirit firefly, there are three other common spiritual plants.

He quickly found the infected spirit firefly.

When the back is turned over, you can see that the thin black lines are tightly attached to the leaves, as if they are integrated with it.

Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp, staring at the thin black line.

Immediately, he closed his eyes, and flashed the essence of the Gengjin Sword Art, the spiritual power in his body circulated, continuously compressed and condensed in the acupoints.

In an instant, a hair-thin golden sword aura shot out, slashed close to the blade, and split a thin black line in two.

After cutting off a black budworm larva, the golden thread sword energy remained strong, drawing a beautiful arc, and cutting a thin black line in two.

Just like that, the thin black lines were divided into pieces, fell to the ground, bounced twice, and then lost their movement.

"Wow! Little Uncle Lu is amazing!"

Zhang Xiuyuan, who didn't know when came over, squatted beside Lu Xuan, and praised loudly.

Lu Xuan stood up, looking calm in Zhang Xiuyuan's adoring eyes.

"It's just a black budworm larva, it's not worth mentioning."

"Brother Lu, thank you for your hard work, please come in and have a cup of hot tea."

Seeing that the black bud bug that had been bothering her was easily solved by Lu Xuan, Xu Wan showed a relaxed expression and invited Lu Xuan into the room.

After sending Zhang Xiuyuan away to review the common sense of cultivation, Xu Wan took out five spirit stones from the inner room.

"Brother Lu, thank you very much this time, please accept these spirit stones."

"Sister-in-law, this can't be done. Brother Zhang helped me so much before, how can I still accept your spirit stone?"

Lu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

Zhang Hong is kind to him, and he also knows that Xu Wan is a woman, and life is difficult with Zhang Xiuyuan, so naturally he refuses to collect these five spirit stones.

"No! You have helped me so much, I have to accept it! I will only spend more to find other people, and it is already a big advantage to give you only five spirit stones."

Xu Wan looks weak on the outside, but she has a very strong personality, so she must accept the spirit stone from Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan really couldn't refuse, an idea flashed in his mind.

"Well, sister-in-law, I still won't accept the spirit stones. You can keep them for yourself, but I don't want to do it in vain. Please see if there are any unknown spirit seeds found in the wild at home. If there are any, just give me one." ."

He proposed a compromise method. Zhang Hong often went to the wilderness, and he might have obtained some unknown spiritual species.

"Is it an unknown spiritual species? There is one, but I don't know what kind, and the vitality is about to dry up."

Xu Wan thought for a while and said.

She entered the back room and quickly took out a dry seed.

The seed looks like a small sword with a gray-black surface, and it can be seen that it has been placed for a long time.

"Your Brother Zhang got two seeds by chance a long time ago, and asked some casual practitioners, but they didn't know what species they were."

"He tried to plant one, but it didn't even germinate, so he had to give up."

"The remaining spiritual seed, if you want to sell it, but you can't exchange it for anything precious, it has been kept at home. After a long time, the vitality in the seed has lost a lot."

"Then I will not be polite, and I will accept this spirit seed."

Lu Xuan looked over and over at the sword-like withered seed, and said with a smile.

After getting this withered spirit seed, he didn't stay long, and left the Zhang family under Xu Wan's gratitude and Zhang Xiuyuan's reluctance.
