Chapter 376 – Altered Arrow Vine
Chapter 376 – Mutation Arrow Vine
“Senior Brother Lu, after listening to your advice, I found something on a Mutated Spirit Plant, but I’m not sure, can you come over and help me look at it?”
Lu Xuan was studying the new Mutation Spirit Plant when suddenly, a voice transmission sounded in his ears, turning his head to look, Liu Su was looking over with an expectant face.
He gently nodded and came before Liu Su.
“Many thanks to Senior Brother Lu.”
Liu Su said in a softly grateful voice, pointing at a mutated spirit plant that was not far in front of her:
“Senior Brother Lu, this spirit plant seems to be similar to a certain spirit plant in my memory, that spirit plant is called the Poisonous Smoke Wood, capable of absorbing all kinds of poisons and nourishing poisonous smoke, it is somewhat similar to this Mutant Spirit Plant, but the difference is also extremely great.”
“The poisonous aura of this spirit plant in front of me seems to be a bit too strong.”
Lu Xuan followed the voice and looked over, only to see the poisonous aura permeating that Mutant Spiritual Plant, so dense that it had almost turned into substance, and from a distance of a few feet away, he could smell an odor that made people want to vomit.
This is already a poisonous cloud,……
Lu Xuan secretly spat out a sentence and casually struck down a Spiritual Rain Technique.
[Unknown Spirit Plant, formerly known as the Third Grade Poisonous Smoke Wood, has been subjected to …… long periods of time]
A thought flashed by, and Lu Xuan confirmed that the mutated spirit plant not far away was indeed, as Liu Su had said, a mutation of the Poisonous Smoke Wood.
Knowing the result, his heart immediately settled down quite a bit, and said towards Liu Su with a calm demeanor.
“Fellow Daoist Liu, although the spiritual plant mutation changes a lot, but all changes do not change, the core thing is difficult to be influenced by external factors and tends to remain in its original state.”
“Based on this point, it is possible to judge that the mutated spirit plant has a high probability of being derived from the Poisonous Smoke Wood, all that Fellow Daoist needs to do is to go and verify your own conjecture.”
“Ten thousand variations …… are indeed the same.”
As if enlightened, Liu Su suddenly realized, inspiration surging in his mind.
She thanked Lu Xuan deeply once again, and all of her body and mind pounced on the poisonous spirit plant.
“Senior Brother Lu, I have a hint of uncertainty about the spirit plant in my hands, so I’d like to ask Senior Brother to come over and enlighten me.”
Lu Xuan had just returned to his position less than half an hour ago when another fellow disciple invited him over to help look at it.
“Senior Brother Lu ……”
……
Just like that, for the next two or three days, if there was anyone among the people present who had doubts and incomprehension, they would voice out to Lu Xuan for help.
Lu Xuan was able to easily answer the questions and solve the puzzles due to his plug-in ability of being informed of the detailed information of the spiritual plants, and the subsequent experimental research of the crowd further verified the correctness of his answers.
As a result, Lu Xuan became more and more admired and convinced by the crowd, and there were hidden signs that he was taking the lead.
Zhong Hao looked in his eyes, and inwardly let out a bitter smile, thinking with a three-point grudge:
“Where’s the promise to come and assist me?”
“How did I become the boss without realizing it?”
He looked at the strange spirit plant in front of him that was so overwhelming that he could not do anything about it, and gritted his teeth fiercely.
If you can’t beat it, join it!
“Senior Brother Lu ……”
The lanky Zhong Hao walked up to Lu Xuan with an eager smile on his face.
“The spirit plant I’ve chosen is just too weird, I’ve tried some small methods of raising spirit beasts, but none of them have achieved any results, so I’d like to ask Senior Brother to come over and help me palm my eyes.”
“Alright, senior brother Zhong, I’ll come over right away.”
Lu Xuan, who was helping a Spirit Plant Master with his confirmation experiments, nodded.
A few moments later, he arrived in front of Zhong Hao, scrutinizing the strange spirit plant that was confined.
The spirit plant was a greenish-black vine that was extremely hideous at a glance, and there were things like arrows hanging around the vine in various lengths and forms. Short less than three inches, long about a foot, the end and the vine into one, the arrowheads have their own characteristics, some extremely sharp, seems to be able to pierce through everything, some of the black aura emerges, at a glance hidden poison, there are also a lot of arrows by the vine derived from the arrow capsule wrapped, ready to go.
“This spirit plant that Senior Brother Zhong is in charge of looks like it has extremely distinct characteristics.”
Lu Xuan lamented.
Logically speaking, a spirit plant with such obvious characteristics could easily be identified as a prototype at the first time, but after a few days had passed, no one had discovered the secret of the spirit plant, which likely meant that the original spirit plant was extremely rare and uncommon.
“I thought I had the highest cultivation at that time, so I chose this spirit plant that was the most peculiar at a glance.”
“It’s a pity that I still overestimated myself.”
“I’ve roughly observed all the spirit plants that Senior Brother Ge has separated out, and I can tell that this plant is the most aggressive, and it can be said to already have a certain fighting instinct, being able to judge the situation and choose the way and timing of attacks, and it has a clear difference from the other spirit plants.”
Zhong Hao introduced his findings about this spirit plant.
“Battle instinct?”
Lu Xuan was puzzled by what Zhong Hao had said, and asked Zhong Hao to loosen his confinement on the spirit plant, then pretended to pass by the spirit plant without thinking.
With his back fully presented in front of the Spirit Plant, suddenly, a strong wind blew, and in the Spirit Sense Perception, a sharp wooden arrow instantly came to Lu Xuan’s back, the arrowhead spinning at great speed, transforming into a trail of residual shadows that seemed to run through Lu Xuan’s entire body.
“Ding!” Lu Xuan, who had prepared for this, moved his mind, an aura shield appeared on his back, a black light appeared, bypassing and picking the arrow in one go.
The Fourth Grade Wind Thunder Sword cut the wooden arrow into two.
“Master Lu is a good swordsman!”
All of this happened in a short moment, and Zhong Hao, who witnessed it from the side, uttered an exclamation of admiration.
“Senior Brother Zhong is flattering.”
Lu Xuan returned with self-effacement.
“There is indeed something extraordinary about this Spirit Plant, the rest of the Spirit Plants attack indiscriminately, while it can actually sneak attack.”
“If an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator were to run into it, I’m afraid that he would be at risk of being injured or even perishing.”
With that on his lips, he came to the green-black vine that had regained its calm.
All kinds of arrows were naturally hanging down on the vine, as if the arrow that was as fast as lightning just now didn’t have an ounce of relationship with the spirit plant.
Lu Xuan’s spirit power surged within his body, and the monumental spirit rain dripped down, seeping into the green-black vines.
Under the condensation of his mind, information about the Spirit Plant surfaced from his mind.
[Unknown Spirit Plant, Fourth Grade, formerly known as the Third Grade Arrow Vine, mutated by the influence of some powerful flesh and blood power over a long period of time, can condense a variety of different arrows based on the different spiritual qi and substances it absorbs during its growth].
[Possessing a certain degree of spiritual intelligence, it can release arrows of different forms and effects, and when it encounters a strong enemy, it can trigger ten thousand arrows, capable of instantly harming and even decapitating mid to late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.]
[Arrow Vine, Third Grade Spiritual Plant, during the growth period, it needs a spiritual planter to assist in guiding the condensation of arrow-shaped spiritual energy, bearing arrow-shaped spiritual fruits, after maturity, it can be used as a natural bow and arrow artifacts, with the vines as the bow and the fruits as the arrows].
“The Arrow Vine …… third grade spirit plant mutates into a fourth grade? No wonder there is a clear difference from other spirit plants.”
Lu Xuan digested the information that bubbled up in his mind and thought back to the sneak attack that the Mutated Arrow Vine had just performed.
“With ten thousand arrows and a certain degree of spiritual intelligence, it’s a good choice for guarding the cave.”
He had a few points of interest in his inner heart for this Mutant Arrow Vine.
Happy Mid-Autumn~!
