Chapter 244 – Corrupted Water Lotus with Obscene Qi
Chapter 244 – The Filthy Qi Haunting Corrupted Water Lotus
Lu Xuan answered each of the outer disciple’s questions in detail.
He had been cultivating Spiritual Plants by heart for many years, and after entering the Sect, he had supplemented his knowledge about various Spiritual Plants, and thus, he knew many categories of Spiritual Plants like the back of his hand.
When faced with various difficult questions, he would either get to the crux of the matter or pull out the threads of the cocoon and solve the spiritual plant problem from the root.
This caused the people present to feel admiration and have a clearer perception of Lu Xuan’s attainments in spiritual plants.
Half a day passed, Lu Xuan bid farewell to the crowd and returned to the side hall to recuperate for more than half an hour.
When he returned to the main hall again, Lu Xuan realized that there were actually more cultivators than in the morning by a small half, among them, there were even three pre-Base Establishment cultivators, mixed in with the crowd of outer disciples, looking expectantly at Lu Xuan on the stage.
“In the afternoon, we will mainly talk about various instances of spirit plants with difficult problems, if you all have encountered problems that are difficult to solve, you can take them to the stage, and we will study and discuss them together.”
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.
“Fellow disciples, then I will not be polite.”
A young cultivator rose and clasped his fists as he walked onto the stage.
“I’d like to trouble you, senior uncle, to inspect it for me.”
His spiritual energy surged and a talisman shot out, and then a wide water screen appeared in front of everyone’s eyes, with a clear image on it.
The talisman was a second-grade Water Mirror Talisman, which could select a target and topographically print it down, and after it was activated, it could maintain the water screen with clear images for a period of time.
In the cultivation world, this kind of water mirror talisman was extremely popular.
At this moment, the clear image on the water screen was presented in front of everyone.
In a pool with black mud silt, a white and flawless lotus flower was growing, with a faint black gas lingering on the lotus flower.
“This lotus is called the Rotting Water Lotus, a second grade spiritual plant, since it is at a critical moment of growth, I was afraid that transplanting it would have a greater impact, so I used this Water Mirror Talisman to topographically print it down.”
“Recently, somehow, a faint black aura appeared on the branches and leaves of the Corrosive Water Lotus, and I couldn’t find where the source was, it was hard to disperse it, and then it appeared on the plant again after one or two days of work.”
“I have a great use for this Corrosive Water Lotus, and suddenly encountering this situation really makes me anxious, please help me look at it together with your fellow disciples, thank you very much!”
The young cultivator said solemnly.
“Could it be a spiritual plant mutation?”
“It doesn’t look too much like it, the black gas is only on the outer layer of the Rotting Water Lotus, it shouldn’t be a mutation within the plant.”
“Is it possible that it has encountered some kind of foreign insect infestation?”
……
The crowd murmured.
Lu Xuan pondered a little and asked the youth.
“Does Senior Nephew carry the black mud in that pool with him?”
“Yes there is.”
The youth hurriedly took out a vial from his storage bag and uncovered the mouth of the vial, revealing a large portion of the black mud inside.
From time to time, black bubbles were generated and ruptured on the surface of the black mud, and the moment he opened the bottle cork, he was able to smell a strong odor of decay.
“Senior Uncle is suspecting that this black mud might have problems?”
Lu Xuan nodded gently and took out a Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed from his storage bag.
Placing the Spirit Seed into the black mud, a misty green light landed on it.
The Spirit Glow Grass was just a classless spiritual plant, with a short growth cycle and a simple cultivation method, under the effect of Lu Xuan’s Grand Completion Realm’s Wood Born Technique, as well as a hint of Cyanwood Source Qi mixed in, in less than a few moments, a slender, tender and green Spirit Glow Grass grew out of the black mud.
Under careful scrutiny, one could see that on the delicate leaves, there was an extremely thin black gas lingering around. “What is this …… situation?”
The young cultivator exclaimed in shock, and the crowd under the field also stared at Lu Xuan’s movements.
“Senior nephew this black mud should be taken from somewhere else, right?”
Lu Xuan asked as he continued to catalyze the Spirit Glow Grass.
“Indeed, this Rotting Water Lotus needs to grow in rotting spirit soil, so I took quite a bit of rotting mud from a secret realm, I didn’t expect to harm this Rotting Water Lotus instead.”
The young cultivator muttered, with some disbelief in his expression.
“If my expectation is correct, this black mud harbors a strand of filthiness inside, which can be dispersed with corresponding talismans or magic weapons and the like.”
As the Spirit Glow Grass grew taller and taller, the black aura on the leaves increased with it.
The crowd who saw this scene already believed eight or nine percent of Lu Xuan’s judgment.
“Spirit plants often have all sorts of auras present in their growing environment, with aura being the most common one.
On top of that, there are also special auras such as Evil Aura, Yin Aura, and Fury Aura, which are not good for simple evaluation.
The same aura can either promote the growth of certain spiritual plants or be extremely harmful to most of the rest.”
“Therefore, in the process of cultivating spirit plants, it is important to recognize the surrounding auras very well and provide the spirit plants with the best possible growing environment.”
Lu Xuan summarized.
The young cultivator stepped down from the stage with full of gratitude.
After that, several more outer disciples came up to the stage, either with spirit plants or direct questions, which Lu Xuan patiently addressed one by one.
“Uncle Lu, it has been two and a half years since I obtained this Purple Sun Flower Spirit Seed, but no spirit plant has been birthed for such a long time, I don’t know what’s wrong with it.”
“If I can’t cultivate it again, the vitality inside the spirit seed will probably pass away and it will be reduced to a waste seed.”
A young man with a clear appearance went up to the stage, holding a deep purple spirit seed in his hand, with some urgency in his expression.
Lu Xuan received the Spirit Seed and placed it between the Spirit Loam, quickly obtaining the problem regarding the abnormality of the Spirit Seed.
“Senior nephew this Purple Sun Flower Spirit Seed should have originated from deep within the earth, right?”
“Indeed, I obtained this Spirit Seed in a secret underground realm that is a thousand feet deep, does the inability to conceive have something to do with it?”
The clean-cut youth pondered.
“Purple Sun Flower Spiritual Plants usually grow in normal light environments, this Spiritual Seed you obtained, due to living deep underground for a long period of time and changing through generations, has completely adapted to the underground environment, taking it back to normal environments instead, it is unable to conceive a Spiritual Plant.”
“Therefore, you only need to plant this Purple Sun Flower Spirit Seed in a cool and dim cavern, and the depth of the buried spirit soil should be more than double or so than usual.”
Lu Xuan proposed a detailed solution, and when the clear-cut youth went down with gratitude, he turned his head to look at the crowd below the field.
“This Violet Sun Flower Spirit Seed should be able to bring some enlightenment to all of you.”
“Cultivating Spirit Plants, likewise, needs to be tailored to the material, and cannot be brought into a fixed method or process.”
“One can establish a more intimate relationship with the spirit plants and understand their needs, thus adjusting the cultivation method according to their needs, so that they can always maintain a good state of growth.”
He used this Purple Sun Flower Spirit Seed that was unable to produce a plant as an example to all the outer disciples listening to the lesson.
“Uncle Lu, I have a third grade green jade branch in my hand that has suddenly become extremely abnormal over the past two days, can Uncle Lu take a look at it for me?”
Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan followed the voice and looked over, a Qi Practicing Perfection Cultivator whose appearance appeared a bit gloomy was looking this way.
