Chapter 373
Chapter 373.
At the first sight of this strange spirit plant, Lu Xuan instantly recalled the Fifth Grade Demon Ghost Vine he possessed.
There were certain similarities between the two, both being extremely aggressive, only that the Demon Ghost Vine, perhaps due to its higher grade, displayed a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, while this spirit plant’s aggressive behavior was more like instinct.
“Senior Brother Ge, where did this strange spirit plant come from?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“Recently, this Sect teamed up with a few other sects to open up a newly discovered blessed land, and in that blessed land, a large number of such spirit plants were found.”
Ge Park simply replied back.
Lu Xuan nodded and scrutinized it carefully.
“Strange, although this spirit plant has a strong offensive nature, there is no evil aura found on the plant.”
He had grown many varieties of spirit plants over the years.
A few of them were rich in aggressiveness, like the Sword Nurturing Gourd planted in the cave at this time with various grades of Sword Grasses, but they were all passive attacks that needed to be manipulated and utilized by the cultivator.
In addition, there were several other netherworld spirit plants with active aggressiveness, such as the Hundred Pupil Guile Wood that had already matured, and the Blood Spirit Palm that was in the cultivation stage of participating in the Holy Infant Fruit.
Although this spiritual plant in front of me also had active aggressiveness, the slightest evil aura could not be felt within the plant.
The Unsullied Jade on Lu Xuan’s neck was motionless, and there was no abnormality when he tried with the Spirit Purifying Talisman, Evil Expelling Talisman, and other magical talismans.
“Bringing this odd spirit plant here is to let you, Senior Brother Lu, study it to see if you can discover anything.”
“There are a large number of such spirit plants inside the blessed land, if we can find out their followers, perhaps it will be much easier for our fellow disciples inside the blessed land.”
Ge Park, who was on the side, slowly said.
Although Lu Xuan was not well known in the Heavenly Sword Sect and was extremely low key, in the eyes of certain people within the sect who were familiar with him, it was clear that he had extremely deep attainments in spiritual plants.
Along the way, he had solved several important matters concerning spiritual plants and beasts, and had even left a deep impression in front of the two JieDan elders.
Although his cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, in terms of understanding of spiritual plants and beasts, the clan’s JieDan elders and true disciples were not necessarily better than him.
“Good, then I’ll give it a try and see if I can discover anything from this strange spirit plant.”
Lu Xuan heard this and nodded without hesitation, taking the strange spirit plant from Ge Park’s hands.
“Then it’s hard work for you, Senior Brother Lu, feel free to contact me if you find anything.”
Seeing this, Ge Park nodded his head in satisfaction and explained to Lu Xuan, a black and white Taiji pattern surged out behind him, spinning and enlarging rapidly as he drilled into the pattern along with Seed Jing Shan, disappearing in an instant.
Lu Xuan watched the two leave, his attention returning to the strange spirit plant in his hand.
“A spirit plant obtained from the blessed land ……”
He exclaimed in a low voice.
The cultivation world had all sorts of secret realms, but very few reached the level of a blessed land.
Blessed lands often existed in all sorts of absolutely vicious places, or even in the void, and were extremely difficult to discover.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was in charge of three blessed lands, and Lu Xuan had entered one of them, the Langyue Blessed Land, from which he had obtained the fifth-grade Demon Ghost Vine, the fourth-grade Spirit Pine, and the sixth-grade Phoenix Wood, which could be said to be a huge harvest.
According to what Ge Park said just now, the blessed land where this spiritual plant is located is a recent discovery by the clan, and is being explored jointly with other clans to open it up, so it must be able to find a lot of rare treasures from it.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan’s heart was on fire, then immediately cooled down and regained his senses.
The new blessed land, although it meant a lot of opportunities and treasures, but it also contained unknown dangers, which was why there were JieDan elders leading the team as a safeguard.
With his current cultivation, it was better not to think about it too much. “If I can research what this spirit plant is from, I might be able to make a great achievement and receive a reward from the sect.”
As he thought in his mind, he suddenly felt a tingle coming from his fingers.
Looking down, the cracks on the trunk of the spirit plant in his hand had swallowed one of his fingers at some point, the jagged teeth on the edges were constantly gnawing, and a huge suction force was coming from inside the trunk.
“The little thing is quite good at biting.”
Lu Xuan allowed the odd spirit plant to munch on his finger.
He had practiced the “Glazed Bone Forging Technique” and the “Dragon Transformation Chapter of Taixu” two body refining techniques, and had also taken the Jade Scale Fruit, Golden Marrow Jade Liquid and other rare fruits that strengthened the physical body, so his physical body’s hardness was already no worse than that of some third-grade artifacts, and the gnawing of the weird spirit plant was not much different from scratching an itch for him.
He looked at the weird spirit plant that was full of cracks, his heart rose with bad taste, and his fingers ruthlessly pounded into the interior of the tree trunk, stirring recklessly inside.
When he withdrew his finger, all the serrated teeth on the cracks came off and fell to the ground.
After he made such a mess, the weird spirit plant knows the power, even if Lu Xuan will be actively close to the finger, the cracks on the trunk of the tree did not have the slightest reaction.
“Looking at it, although it doesn’t have much spiritual intelligence, it still has the most basic instinct to avoid harm.”
Lu Xuan made a comment and continued to observe the odd spirit plant that had become honest in his hands.
Looking around, apart from the unusual aggressiveness, there was nothing new to discover.
“When in distress, you can feed things.”
“Regardless of whether it’s a spirit plant or a demonic beast, or a half spirit plant and half demonic beast, feed it something randomly, and it will have nothing to hide in front of me~”
Lu Xuan thought in his heart, his body’s spiritual energy surged, the clouds above the spiritual plant changed, a Spiritual Rain Technique was like a slender waterfall, accurately pouring on the trunk, branches and leaves of the spiritual plant.
After the strange spirit plant absorbed it, his mind condensed on the plant, and a thought surfaced in his mind.
[Unknown Spirit Plant, Third Grade, formerly known as Third Grade Dragon Wood, gradually mutated into a new species of spirit plant after being affected by unknown powerful flesh and blood forces for a long period of time].
[Thus possessing a stronger life force, it is aggressive and can pose a great threat to cultivators below Foundation Establishment.]]
It can be used to make pills to enhance the physical body, and when properly handled, it can also assist in the cultivation of certain body refining techniques.
“Altered Spirit Plant, formerly known as Third Grade Dragonlance Wood ……”
With regards to the Third Grade Dragon Marked Wood, Lu Xuan had read about it in a certain tome in the Tibetan scripture cabinet, it was extremely hard and was a superior material for refining magic weapons and flying swords.
However, according to the tome, there was a big difference in form from this spirit plant in his hands, and it could be described as a windy plant.
“Just what kind of blood and flesh breath can differentiate a third-grade spirit plant into this kind of appearance?”
Lu Xuan muttered.
Although he already had a rough understanding of the strange spirit plant in front of him, he still decided to study it for some more time.
Otherwise, if Ge Park had just left in the front foot and he told the spirit plant related information in the back foot, it would be too noticeable.
However, he didn’t mind showing off his ‘talent’ in the spiritual plant, but he also didn’t want to make a big splash, and was only willing to sulk.
“Since we already know where the Spirit Plant’s heel came from, the next thing to do is to observe its habits, preferences, and so on, to see if we can find the best way to deal with it.”
Lu Xuan secretly thought in his heart.
The card text is stuck especially hard, if there is no second shift later, it will be made up tomorrow.
