Chapter 107 – Monkey Face Orchid, Born with an Expression?
Chapter 107 – Monkey-Faced Orchid, Born Emoji?
On the light screen, a message flew past, and there were more than a dozen outer disciples who joined Lu Xuan in paying attention to each and every word that appeared.
“Demon Beast Hunting Quest, requires traveling to the Nightmare Fall Mountain Range to hunt and kill a first and second grade demon beast.
Mission Reward:Fifty Sword Seals.
Requirements:Hunting and killing demonic beasts needs to fulfill the guaranteed number, and additional sword seals can be rewarded if the number is extremely high.”
“Spirit Plant Picking Quest, you need to travel to the Black Abyss to pick a third-grade Fey Ghost Vine.
Mission reward:One hundred sword seals.”
“Evil Sneak Investigation Mission, Cangxing City is infested with evil sneaks with a strength no lower than that of a high level Qi Practicing cultivator, you need to track the evil sneaks down. The mission rewards are adjusted according to the strength, number, and degree of handling of the evil sneaks.”
A few of the most frequently appearing messages attracted the attention of the cultivators present.
“Which senior sister is willing to go with me to the Nightmare Fall Mountain Range to hunt down demonic beasts? If it’s a good match, you can have some more of the sword seals rewarded by the quest.”
“Black Abyss, one hundred sword seals, it’s really heartwarming, but it’s a pity that I’m not as strong as I should be.”
A cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Practicing was staring closely at that task of picking the third-grade Fey Ghost Vine, his face kept changing, and it was evident that his mind was quite entangled.
“Does Cang Xing City Evil Soul have any senior brothers and sisters who are teaming up together? I’m at the ninth level of Qi Practicing, specializing in fire arts, and have evil dispelling treasures, so I think I can join forces to take that evil sneak down easily.”
A young cultivator with a proud look said.
Lu Xuan glanced at the few well-paid quests as his sight kept going down.
In similar quests, some people saw opportunities while he saw risks.
He had supplemented his general knowledge of cultivation for a while, and realized that the Nightmare Mountain Range and the Black Abyss that appeared in the quests were both chaotic-type secret realms in the cultivation world, which the sect forces could not occupy, or the cost of occupation was far greater than the benefits, and thus they were left to their own devices.
Inside there are a large number of demonic beasts and evil spirits, dangerous places, of course, there is also an inexhaustible amount of spiritual medicine, demonic beast materials, and even occasionally there will be people who get a great chance to soar to the heavens.
In a word, opportunities and risks coexist.
Lu Xuan already has a steady opportunity, there is no need to go into danger, stay in the Heavenly Sword Sect honestly, peacefully cultivate spiritual plants can be.
The difficulty of the task below the light screen is much lower, of course, the sword seal reward is also reduced.
“Post-natal care task, the bred Tyrannosaurus Skylark has just given birth to a young beast not long ago, need cultivators to help take care of the cooking, due to the protection of the pups psychology, Tyrannosaurus Skylark is extremely irritable, relevant experience is preferred, the task rewards for the thirty-five Sword Marks.”
“Postpartum care of a sow?”
Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment and eventually decided to give up.
He picked and chose for a while and chose a task of cultivating spiritual plants.
“Tend to the Second Grade Spiritual Plant Monkey Face Orchid, time limit is three months, reward thirty Swordmarks.”
Cultivating a second grade spirit plant, Lu Xuan thought to himself that it would not be a big problem, if he could not cultivate it properly, the big deal would be to find an opportunity to pull out the second grade spirit plant and plant it again, thus understanding the immediate state of the spirit plant.
Confident, his Spiritual Sense extended and gently made contact with the line of writing on the light screen.
Instantly, the handwriting disappeared into thin air, and Lu Xuan’s mind appeared with the specific address about the mission, details, and so on.
He left the Concubine Hall and found a Spirit Crane nearby, telling the Spirit Crane of his destination, and the Spirit Crane carried him high in the air and flew rapidly.
A moment later, the crane landed in a valley.
The valley was extremely quiet, shrouded in a white light, unable to see the scene inside.
The crane seemed to be aware that it was waiting outside the valley and could not receive a passing cultivator in a short period of time, so it flew away directly.
Lu Xuan came to the outside of the light cover and said in a deep voice.
“My name is Lu Xuan, I came here due to receiving the task of tending to the Monkey-faced Orchid.”
As soon as the words fell, the aura on the light shield rapidly changed, and soon, a woman wearing apricot-yellow clothes with a beautiful appearance welcomed her out. “So it’s Senior Brother Lu, please forgive me for the delay in welcoming you.”
“My surname is Yao, I should have joined the sect before Senior Brother, Senior Brother can just call me Senior Sister Yao.”
The beautiful woman said gently.
“Good day, Senior Sister Yao.”
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Awareness swept through inadvertently and detected that the woman was at the ninth level of Qi Practicing.
He entered inside the light shield under the lead of the beautiful woman.
“This valley is a medicinal garden established by a Foundation Establishment Master Uncle, and I usually manage it on his behalf.”
“Because a senior sister who tends to the Monkey-faced Orchid had something to go out, other than me, there is only one other person left.
The two of them are rather busy and distracted, thus, a task was released in the Concourse Hall with the intention of sharing the pressure between the two of us.”
The beautiful woman explained with a smile.
Lu Xuan entered the Pill Garden and casually swept through it, there were quite a few varieties of Spiritual Plants planted in the Pill Garden, and one or two of them also had Formation Restrictions hiding them, so he guessed that they were most likely Third Grade Spiritual Plants.
“Senior Sister Yao, I’m clear on the specifics of the mission, I just have a little doubt.”
“Senior brother please speak.”
“After tending to the Monkey Face Orchid, will I be able to return to my cave to cultivate and rest?”
“There’s naturally no problem with that, after completing the daily cultivation tasks, Senior Brother Lu can live in the medicinal garden or return to his cave to rest.”
“Each day, you need to spend roughly two to three hours on tending the Monkey Face Orchid, and the rest of the time you can cultivate your gongfu techniques.”
“After all, cultivation is the proper path, it’s impossible to give up cultivation just because of cultivating spirit plants.”
“What senior sister said is true.”
Lu Xuan nodded his head gently, his proposal to return to his cave naturally wasn’t because he wanted to cultivate, but rather he needed to spend time and energy on cultivating the spirit plants in his cave’s spirit field.
For the two hundred Spirit Glow Grasses and twenty-eight Blood Jade Ginsengs in the spiritual field, he intended to slightly loosen the cultivation requirements and no longer maximize fine cultivation, saving a little time to spend on earning Sword Marks.
However, the Spiritual Qi within the Heavenly Sword Sect was so rich and pure, he guessed that it could completely offset his slight slackness and would not affect the quality of the Spirit Glow Grass and Blood Jade Ginseng.
“This is the spiritual field where the Second Grade Monkey Face Orchid is planted.”
The beautiful woman led Lu Xuan to a wide spirit field.
There were many strange spiritual plants growing in the spiritual field, and inside the petals of different colors, a pattern like a monkey’s face was born, and the pattern was lifelike, just like a monkey hiding inside the petals and looking up.
The expression of each monkey face is also different, some playful and smiling, some solemn and precious, some angry, some cold and indifferent, all living beings, actually see inside a strain of second-grade spiritual plants.
Lu Xuan walking in the spirit field between ridges, on both sides as if there is a natural expression packet is gazing at him, let him some unnatural.
“This Monkey Face Orchid is just a bluffing appearance, but in actuality, it’s an ordinary spirit plant, just cultivate it on time.”
“If you see any Monkey-faced Orchid that seems to have any changes in its face in its petals, there is no need to care,”
“There is another person in the medicinal garden, named Yan Ping, whose cultivation is comparable to that of you, Senior Brother Lu, I will introduce the two of you to each other later.”
“Trouble Senior Sister Yao.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
