Chapter 229 – Demon Ghost Vine
Chapter 229 – Demon Ghost Vine
Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the giant Fey Ghost Vine that showed signs of disintegration instantly stopped and slowly rotated.
Lu Xuan sensed the hesitation within its heart and continued.
“I’m sure you’re also well aware that my origin is the same as the cultivators who entered the Medicine Garden before me, all of them coming from the clan behind this blessed land.”
“But what makes me different from them is that I’m a kind person, and for spirit plants I don’t just treat them as tools on the way to cultivation, but rather treat them as equals, cultivate them carefully, and do my best to let them thrive.”
“It is precisely for this reason that I was able to acquire this extremely rare and uncommon Greenwood Source Qi.”
His tone was sincere, and the light green-colored spiritual energy between his fingers continued to linger.
“If you still don’t trust me enough, I can make an oath to ensure that I will treat the Fey Ghost Vine seedlings that you have birthed properly.”
Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the gigantic Fey Ghost Vine that had been hesitant finally made up its mind.
What Lu Xuan had said was true, even if the new Fey Ghost Vine that had been bred was of an elevated grade, it was still confined to this heaven and earth, and was only a subsidiary of the clan behind the blessed land.
If it was accidentally detected by the JieDan real person in charge of the blessed land, it was very likely that it would perish.
The Green Wood Source Qi transmitted by Lu Xuan made it feel close from the bottom of its heart, and was extremely beneficial to the spirit plant.
Thinking of this, a thought extended out from deep within the giant green-black vine.
“Good.”
When Lu Xuan saw it nodding in agreement, he immediately made a vow, promising to treat it well and carefully cultivate the Fae Ghost Vine seedling in the bud.
As soon as the words fell, numerous vines as thick as an arm surged with ghostly black spiritual light from the gigantic Fey Ghost Vine, and the spiritual light converged into a small river that poured into the flower bud at the top.
The bud regained its stability, contracting and expanding as if it was breathing, and the light green spiritual energy gushing out from Lu Xuan’s fingers also grew in number, and continued to energize the giant Fey Ghost Vine.
“Cheer up cheer up! It’s almost born! Work harder!”
More and more spiritual light poured out from the green and black vines, and the streams converged into rivers that flowed into the buds as much as they could.
“Previously, when I solved the birthing problems of the Spirit Crane as well as that Yin Yang Kun Fish, I was still just giving advice, but now I’m already on the battlefield to assist in the birth.”
“Once again, the title of Sage of Beast Science has been solidified.”
Lu Xuan secretly lamented.
Not long after, the vines on the giant Fey Ghost Vine plant became dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, pieces of what looked like dried bark fell off.
A faint yet exuberant life-giving thought came from the bud, and then, the petals that had turned black-green bloomed one by one, and a tiny snake-like vine coiled into a ball, lying silently in the very center.
The vine was gray and inconspicuous, a far cry from the hideous and terrifying form of the mother.
The moment it appeared, the huge foreign ghost vine that was several feet tall dried up and crumbled ten times faster, just like the final moments of an avalanche, and all of them were broken and weathered in the blink of an eye.
Only one vine was barely able to support the completely blooming bud and sent it to Lu Xuan’s body.
Immediately afterward, the vine circled around the new Fae Ghost Vine seedling, and from the bottom to the top, it disintegrated at a rapid pace.
At the last moment of disintegration, Lu Xuan felt a strong sense of anticipation and hope from deep within it.
After the giant Fey Ghost Vine completely disappeared, the tiny vine lying quietly in the bud instantly came to life, a light gray tentacle poking out from within, seemingly experiencing and observing the world in front of him.
“Follow me in the future, I’ll take you to the great sects to see the world.”
Lu Xuan smiled as his right hand reached out to the light gray tiny vine.
The gray vine sensed a familiar aura of spiritual energy from Lu Xuan’s body and climbed all the way up his palm, entering his wide cuffs.
In the end, only a small section of its body was left outside. “Eat some spirit fruits first.”
Lu Xuan took out a spirit fruit from his storage bag and placed it in front of one end of the light gray vine.
Feeling the tantalizing fragrance coming from the spirit fruit, the light gray vine didn’t hesitate and nailed a bite right in the middle of the fruit.
Not knowing how it was swallowed, in a few breaths, the spirit fruit with its skin and core was swallowed by it in its entirety.
Lu Xuan’s mind coalesced around the uninterested light gray vine, and a thought flashed through his mind.
【Demon Ghost Vine, Fifth Grade Demon Transformation Spiritual Plant, derived from the condensed essence of Generation after Generation of Fae Ghost Vine, enjoys feeding on Spirit Seeds, various parts of Spiritual Plants, as well as Demon Beasts’ meat, and has an extremely keen sensing ability for Spirit Seeds】.
[Proficient in all kinds of wood techniques, extremely aggressive.]
“If it’s not my kind, its flavor must be fresh.
“Fifth grade demonic transformation spirit plant!”
The thought that appeared in his mind was unexpected by Lu Xuan.
He didn’t expect that the Fey Ghost Vine, which was a Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant in its original form, would actually spawn a higher grade Demonic Change Spiritual Plant.
“Using his entire life’s spirituality, essence, and so on, he was finally able to cross the grade, if there is a spirit in the springs, he should feel very gratified.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, he guessed that the reason why he was able to cross over from the fourth grade to the fifth grade, those green wood source qi that he had transmitted also took a lot of credit.
After all, that was the life essence that had condensed from the dying Green Xuan Deer of the Fifth Grade, and it had many benefits for the Spiritual Plants.
“Demon Ghost Vine, even the name has changed.”
Lu Xuan looked at the light gray vine that had drilled out a small section from his sleeve and was satisfied.
Although this was a Demonic Change Spiritual Plant with habits similar to those of ordinary demonic beasts, it was the first Fifth Grade Spiritual Plant that was completely unique to him.
The Sacred Infant Fruit that he had previously obtained was also of the fifth grade, but it was only a daughter plant, and most of the rights to it were still in the hands of that behind-the-scenes cultivator.
“Alright, you guys should have seen everything that just happened.”
“The new life derived from your chief has been handed over to me to take care of, and I will take it out of this medicinal garden to another heaven and earth.”
“If you wish to leave together, I will bring you along the way, if you still wish to stay in this medicinal garden, I will not force you.”
Lu Xuan transmitted a thought towards the remaining Fey Ghost Vine plant.
He was in a good mood after obtaining a Fifth Grade Demonic Transformation Spirit Plant, and for these of its kind, he gave two options.
If they wanted to leave the medicinal garden, they could be taken away directly without any damage and placed on the peak of the clan or in the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town.
With the Sheng Sheng Bag in place, there is no fear that they will lose their vitality on the road.
However, these Fey Ghost Vines did not appreciate Lu Xuan’s favor and noiselessly drilled into the spirit soil, quickly disappearing from Lu Xuan’s presence.
Lu Xuan didn’t force them, if they were seedlings, he would still consider if he wanted to abduct them and cultivate them to maturity to obtain the Light Corps rewards, but those were already in a mature state, and if he cultivated and raised them again, he wouldn’t be able to obtain the Light Corps, so their value in his mind was naturally much lower.
He tucked in the Demon Ghost Vine seedlings hidden in his sleeves and flew towards the other side of the medicinal garden.
A few moments later, the light gray vines drilled out of his sleeves and worked hard to extend towards Lu Xuan’s left front, with a look of eagerness to try.
“Are you saying that there is a high-grade spirit species up ahead?”
Lu Xuan asked the Demonic Ghost Vine Seedling with doubt.
