Chapter 42 – Grass Puppets Guarding the Spiritual Fields
Chapter 42 – Grass Puppet Guarding the Spiritual Fields
“I just want to plant my fields in peace, why do I have to disrupt my life?”
After obtaining the Spirit Field’s special light mass, Lu Xuan had the idea of living in a lighthearted manner.
No longer would he go out of his way to compete with countless loose cultivators for a single illusory chance.
That was why he had previously refused Zhang Hong’s as well as the Hundred Herb Hall Spiritual Planters’ invitations to explore the secret realm.
On weekdays, he was also kind to others and rarely went out.
Wang Shan being possessed by an evil spirit would most likely destroy his current peaceful life, so Lu Xuan only had to try and take the initiative to resolve it.
“Then to whom should I report Wang Shan?”
“It has to be someone who is significantly stronger than him and is not considered close to him.”
Lu Xuan pondered for a while, recalling that Wang Shan had once berated one of his superiors behind his back while drinking with himself.
He had considered going through the Hundred Herb Hall’s connections to solve the problem, but in the end, he had given up, after all, he had only just cooperated with the Hundred Herb Hall, he was a man of few words, he had no accomplishments to show for it, and he didn’t know anyone in a high position of power, and the only person that he had made good friends with, Manager He, wasn’t of a high status either.
“There is another point that must be noted, must hide their identity, lest in the end not only did not report success, but instead implicate themselves.”
After having a target to report, Lu Xuan secretly inquired about it and began to prepare for action.
Lin Yang Fang City, Northern District Law Enforcement Hall.
A huge building covering an area of more than ten acres, it was rich in spiritual qi and exotic flowers and plants abounded inside.
Ling Peng sat at the table, flipping through a weapon refining tome in his hands.
He was usually fond of quietness, and deliberately chose a courtyard office located on the side of the Law Enforcement Hall, with a lush spiritual tree planted outside the window, so he could look at it and relax his eyes when he had nothing to do.
He was one of the several Qi Practicing high-level cultivators in the Law Enforcement Hall, and most of the time he just sat in the hall, only stepping in when there was a large-scale evil spirit infestation.
Suddenly, he let out a soft eep as a shield covered in gray and black scales flashed out of his storage bag and flew around him.
The moment the gray-black shield appeared, a golden stream of light shot into the house like a sharp arrow.
“Ding” sound.
To Ling Peng’s surprise, the golden stream of light did not rush towards him, but instead shot directly onto the beams of the room, and did not last long.
“Who is so bold as to dare attack a Law Enforcement Hall cultivator?”
A trace of anger surfaced on Ling Peng’s face as his shield automatically flew and his body’s spiritual energy operated at maximum level.
A few breaths passed and there was no movement outside.
With doubt, Ling Peng looked towards the golden sword qi on the beams of the room.
“The sword qi hasn’t dissipated after such a long time, so it’s evident that the cultivator behind it has extraordinary attainments in the sword path.”
Ling Peng sighed and realized that a palm-sized piece of white paper was nailed to the beam of the room by the golden sword Qi.
He dispersed the golden-yellow sword qi and used the Imperial Art to control the white paper to float in front of him.
There were two lines of crooked handwriting written on the white paper, obviously done on purpose.
“Wang Mountain is feared to be contaminated by evil spirits, and Tan Xiaodong, who is in charge of inspections, most likely purposely harbors them.”
Ling Peng read out the two small lines in a whisper.
A dark red flame suddenly appeared underneath the white paper, blackening it slightly with gray.
“Is the message on this real or is it a prank?”
“I remember that Wang Shan is a Qi Practicing Middle Stage Cultivator in the Hall, and with a cultivation of the fifth level of Qi Practicing, he is considered to be in the middle position, so if even he has been contaminated by an evil spirit, it is highly probable that there will be woes in the Law Enforcement Hall.”
“The likelihood is just too low if it’s a mischief.”
He looked at the shallow traces left by the golden sword qi above the beams of the room and thought in his heart.
“The sword qi cast out by the person behind it was soundless and silent, even my spiritual sense at the high level of qi cultivation could only discover it after I got close, the sword qi had not dissipated for a long time and came in with great force, but it only left a shallow trace.”
“It can be seen that he immersed in the sword path for at least ten years, mastered the sword qi for small or even large realm, cultivation is likely to be practicing qi high rank, after all, practicing qi middle ranked cultivators want to have this kind of realm sword dao instincts, is also a little too difficult.” “So, it’s still necessary to investigate and pay more attention to the two.”
Ling Peng secretly made a decision.
He leapt and stepped under a crimson flying sword, circling around the Law Enforcement Hall without finding any suspicious people.
Not far away on the street, Lu Xuan walked slowly on the green stone road, and before long, a raging Spiritual Sense swept past him.
With the help of the Breath Convergence Method, Lu Xuan only revealed his cultivation at the third level of Qi Practicing at this time, the Spiritual Awareness didn’t find any abnormality and disappeared in an instant.
Lu Xuan walked at a normal pace, not showing the slightest bit of panic.
“Sending out such a message with the Gungjin Sword Technique of the Grand Completion Realm, I think that the Qi Practicing Higher Level Cultivator who has a general relationship with Wang Shan will seriously consider my warning, or at least be more attentive to Wang Shan.”
“As for that Tan Xiaodong who swallowed my spirit stones and is still not satisfied, let’s just trip him up in the meantime and wait for a chance to find the strength to crush him before settling the score.”
Lu Xuan reviewed this whistle-blowing action of his.
With the help of the Breath Concealment Technique, he came to the vicinity of the target cultivator noiselessly and without attracting any attention, making use of the Gungjin Sword Technique of the Grand Completion Realm to bring the contents of the warning, and then disguising himself as a cultivator of the third level of Qi Practicing to avoid any possible scrutiny.
“Let’s just see if it can have an effect.”
Things had come to a head, regardless of whether Wang Shan’s contamination by the evil spirit had been discovered or not, all Lu Xuan could do was to respond to all changes with no change and wait to see how things developed.
“Spirit Glow Grass, Red Cloud Pine, Sword Grass, mature quickly.”
He returned to the courtyard and looked at the dozens of Spirit Glow Grasses in the Spirit Field that were already close to maturity, as well as the five Red Cloud Pines that were getting bigger and darker in color, and the Sword Grass that stood straight and upright, with a blade like a sword, and felt a lot more at ease.
“As long as there are spirit plants maturing, then I will be able to keep accumulating strength, and at that time, even if the evil spirits inside Wang Shan’s body want to be unfavorable to me, resolving them on my own will be just that.”
At the edge of the Spirit Spring Pool, the Biyou Treading Cloud Lynx dug out a foreign insect from somewhere.
Putting down the foreign bug, and then when the three red-whiskered carp in the Spirit Spring Pool came out to fight for it, the snow-white paws swept by at a rapid speed, grabbing the foreign bug back into the paws, while grabbing the long whiskers, and ripping the red-whiskered carp out with one hand.
The long whiskers kept stretching in the air, causing the red-whiskered carp below to bounce up and down.
“Told you not to catch the fish, but you’re not honest! Begging for a beating, right?!”
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but pat the Treading Cloud Lynx Cub’s pointed ears.
With a bemused look in its eyes, the Treading Cloud Lynx Cub put the Red Whiskered Carp back into the Spirit Spring Pond and stepped aside, fiddling with the dying foreign insect in the Spirit Field Rouge.
Lu Xuan was worried that it would be unhappy in its heart after being hit by himself this time, and his mind pooled over it.
“Ow~~~Today, I’m being stroked by my master again Mile~”
“This little guy ……”
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded, it turned out that the lynx grabbed the red whiskered carp in order to attract his attention, even a beating was better than not touching it for a day.
With a sudden thought, he came to the Grass Golem that was patrolling the Spirit Field.
The grass golem took the same steps and slowly circled around the spirit field.
“After sucking in the Grass Spirit Yuan Liquid, the Grass Puppet has changed quite a bit, and has even developed some spiritual intelligence, I wonder what its immediate state will be.”
Curious in his heart, Lu Xuan condensed his mind on the Grass Puppet’s gray-black body.
“Guard the Spirit Field!”
“Guard the Spirit Field!”
“Guard the field!”
……
Sentences of the same words echoed in Lu Xuan’s mind.
I’ve been out all day today, sorry for only one shift, the missing ones will be made up tomorrow.
