Chapter 97 Decisions
Chapter 97 Decision
“Ka-ching!”
A fist-sized piece of dark ore was easily clipped off by a huge greenish-black chelicerae.
The Iron Chequered Crab Juvenile Beast raised its pair of large knife-like chelipeds towards Lu Xuan, its eyes bulging with what appeared to be disdain.
“Haven’t clamped for a while, your kung fu has grown!”
Lu Xuan laughed and exclaimed, sending the Fine Iron Ore split in two to the Iron Chelated Crab’s pair of chelipeds.
Two divided into four, four divided into eight, the volume of the ore became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Iron Chequered Crab hatchling tirelessly clamped off the ore that reached over with great tenacity.
Accompanied by a clicking sound, Lu Xuan’s thoughts drifted.
This time, when he was invited to the Secret Realm, he felt the body of the loose cultivator.
He himself usually planted his fields peacefully, didn’t cross paths with others, didn’t get into any disputes of interest, and only revealed his identity as a Spiritual Planter with a decent planting talent.
For the sake of some unnecessary trouble, he also establishes a certain cooperative relationship with the Hundred Herb Hall of the Foundation Establishment Dan Master, and is attached to the Hundred Herb Hall.
But when the Wang family cultivator came to the door to invite himself, he still could not help himself, even if he was not willing to go to the secret realm to help identify the spiritual plants, he had to agree.
The helplessness of the bottom-level loose cultivator was manifested to the fullest.
After this trip, he had the idea of leaving the Lin Yang Fang City.
The Hundred Herb Hall had recommended himself to the Wang Family, and regardless of the purpose, it was obvious that he had caused trouble for himself, and what little affection the two sides had died out.
Of course, this did not affect his attitude towards Steward He, over the years, the thin old man’s care and concern for himself could not be faked.
As for the Wang family, this time two Qi Practicing high-level cultivators were lost in the secret realm, under the wrath, they would definitely come over to interrogate themselves, even if they had a clear conscience, they might still be affected by the incident.
But leaving the Lin Yang Fang City, where to go was another problem.
Change to a new market?
The sky is as black as a crow, Lu Xuan guessed that even if he changed to a new market, it wouldn’t change the fact that he was subject to constraints.
He was looking for a place in the mountains and forests where he could live a sheltered life and cultivate spiritual plants on his own.
First of all, cultivating spiritual plants requires pure spiritual qi, preferably from spiritual fields reclaimed near spiritual veins. Secondly, it is possible to encounter evil spirits and demonic beasts if you are alone, and lastly, it is difficult to obtain high-grade spiritual seeds.
In that case, the best place to go is to enter a sect.
With Lu Xuan’s current cultivation at the eighth level of qi cultivation and his unique skills in cultivating spiritual plants, he was qualified to join the sect.
The benefits of entering a clan are obvious: the aura is purer and richer, which is conducive to the growth of the spirit plant, and at the same time provides a safe and stable sheltered environment, as well as the possibility of obtaining high-grade spirit seeds, young spirit beasts, and so on.
After making his decision, Lu Xuan’s first thought was the Heavenly Sword Sect mentioned by the cool female cultivator.
With the Qing Yun Order she gifted, it would be much less difficult for him to join the sect, and Lu Xuan also had a not-so-small interest in the Variant Sword Grass that the female cultivator spoke of.
“Next, it’s time to go make preparations to leave the workshop, as well as settle that problem with the Wang Family.”
He stood up, and his mind shifted to the Iron Chevron Crab Hatchling at his feet.
That pair of chelipeds was already trembling at this point, held up in the air and kept shaking, but when a small stone block of fine iron reached out, it would always be unable to resist the urge to violently clip it off.
Lu Xuan threw it into the Spiritual Spring Pond, collected the fine iron fragments, opened the Misty Hidden Maze Formation, instructed the Grass Puppet to take good care of the Spiritual Fields, and led the Treading Cloud Lynx to the Hundred Herb Hall.
In the Hundred Herb Hall, the aroma of medicines was strong, and Lu Xuan walked through the door, catching a glimpse of the thin old man staring blankly at the counter.
He walked up to the old man and reached out to shake his hand in front of his eyes.
Steward He came back to his senses, and when he saw Lu Xuan, his eyes lit up and he smiled out of the folds of his face.
“Lu kid, you’re finally back!”
“I’ve been relieved to hear that you went to that secret realm of some sort, it’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.” The thin old man gently patted Lu Xuan’s shoulder.
“I’m sorry to trouble Elder He for thinking about it.”
A warmth surged in Lu Xuan’s heart as he bowed his head in gratitude.
Elder He looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and whispered to Lu Xuan.
“Some Spiritual Planters who entered the secret realm together said that you guys encountered an evil invasion in the secret realm, what exactly is going on?”
“It did happen.”
Lu Xuan nodded heavily.
“At that time, we were picking and processing spirit plants somewhere in the secret realm under the leadership of the Wang Clan’s cultivators, when suddenly, one day, we realized that one of the Spirit Plantsmiths had disappeared inexplicably.”
“Immediately after that, a high level Qi Practicing cultivator of the Wang Family discovered that his companion had been invaded and contaminated by an evil spirit, and the two of them engaged in a fight to the death as a result, and we, the Spiritual Plants Masters, who had low cultivation and were not adept at fighting, feared that we would be caught in the crossfire, and thus we all fled separately.”
“I’m not sure how it went on behind, after I escaped from the secret realm, I tried to find a few cultivators, and was lucky enough to be taken out of the secret realm and back to the marketplace in passing.”
Lu Xuan told the truth, only concealing a few key places.
Discovering the evil spirit, reporting it to Li Jianfeng, taking out Li Jianfeng who was infested by the evil spirit, dodging the tricky level evil spirit, and taking care of a couple of cultivator squads that were plotting against him ……
The biggest lie is not nine truths and one lie, but all for the truth, combined together is a lie.
He learned from Steward He that the spirit plant masters who had come back had been five or six in addition to Lu Xuan, and of the remaining two in the Hundred Herb Hall, only He Ping had not returned.
Lu Xuan’s heart was a little more at ease, after a few more people, what he said would have a little more credibility, and at the same time, the risk of being blamed by the Wang family was also leveled out.
He paused and made a hesitant look, finally gritting his teeth, he said to the thin old man.
“Steward He, there is a possibility that He Ping in the hall won’t be able to come back, I looked from afar when I was escaping and realized that he was being targeted by an evil spirit, in all likelihood, he has met an untimely end.”
“Is that so? In that case, it’s not good for the Wang family to give us an explanation.”
He Ping was related to the dan master of the hall, and his low position was extraordinary.
“There is one more thing that I must make clear, at that time when picking and recognizing the spiritual plants, Wang Ruhai, who should have stayed at the camp, went out to explore the secret realm privately, thus getting contaminated with the evil spirits, leading to this disaster.”
“Is this true?” Steward He asked seriously.
“The rest of the Spirit Plant Masters can testify to this.”
“In that case, the nature is different.”
If it was simply contaminated by an evil spirit invasion, then it could be described as an accident, and the Wang family would be qualified to cross-examine the cultivators who survived.
However, because Wang Ruhai did not take on the responsibility of escorting the Spiritual Planters, instead, he himself was derelict in his duties, attracting evil spirits, and the scourge occurred that would have absolutely nothing to do with Lu Xuan and the others.
On the contrary, the dead spiritual planters, but also to blame on the Wang family Wang Ruhai body.
The more than ten Spirit Plant Masters who had traveled to the secret realm, each of them was the treasure of the major forces in the marketplace, and the loss of any one of them would result in a great loss.
Knowing that this result was caused by the negligence of the Wang family’s cultivators, the rest of the clans and forces in the market would never let it go and would definitely demand an explanation.
With both sides playing games, they would have no time to care about a small loose cultivator like Lu Xuan.
