“Junior Brother Lu, are you sure you want to choose this Third-Rank Bewitching Fairy Peach?”
The old farmer monk questioned Lu Xuan.
“Senior Brother, I wonder what mystery this Bewitching Immortal Peach Spiritual Plant hides? Could you explain a bit to me?”
Lu Xuan asked in a deep voice.
“Because of some reasons, I have some understanding about the third-rank Bewitching Immortal Peach.”
“It is said that while the spiritual plant is growing, it continuously releases a particular aroma. This scent can trigger and increase the carnal desires within cultivation monks, especially sexual desire.”
“This goes against the cultivation path of our orthodox sects. Cultivators need to discard their inner desires, be pure of heart, and moderate in desire, only then can they maintain a good state for cultivation.”
“If their heart realm is influenced, it will slow down their cultivation progress. In serious cases, it can even give birth to inner demons, making it easy for them to be invaded by demon envoys.”
“For our sect monks, cultivation is the main path, the path of cultivating Spiritual Plants is auxiliary, so very few cultivators are willing to plant this Bewitching Immortal Peach. Only those demonic cultivators with reckless hearts and especially those demons good at dual cultivation, they are the ones who plant more of this.”
“I have heard that in the Cultivation World, there are few famous Gold Spending Caves where Bewitching Immortal Peaches are grown everywhere, and are used to enhance intimacy.”
The old farmer monk leaned into Lu Xuan’s ear, covered his mouth and spoke quietly.
After speaking, there was a flash of hesitation in his expression. He carefully looked around before leaning in again.
“Junior Brother Lu, you have just joined the sect not long ago and there are some things in the sect that you may not understand fully. Regarding this Bewitching Immortal Peach, there is an interesting story.”
“There is a rumor that many years ago, two of our Foundation Establishment Uncle Masters, a man and a woman, were discussing something under a large grove of Bewitching Immortal Peach trees planted by one of them. As a result, under the influence of the plants’ aphrodisiac effects, they could not control themselves and ended up engaging in… some inappropriate behaviors…”
“Oh?”
Lu Xuan’s eyes immediately brightened up. People are always curious about gossips, especially when it involves higher-ups, regardless of their skills or social statuses.
As soon as he heard about the Foundation Establishment Uncle Master and an ‘inappropriate behavior’, the genes deep within Lu Xuan naturally got triggered.
“Senior Brother, I finished cultivating the spiritual plant this morning, and I have plenty of time. You can elaborate on that ‘inappropriate thing’.”
“The two Uncle Masters, like a pair of raging fires under the sky used as a quilt and earth as a bed, began the great battle…”
“…when they were in the peak of the battle, guess what, the Taoist companion of the male Uncle Master rushed over. In a furious manner, she just tore off her facade.”
“However, she was unable to fight against two people, got restrained by both of them, guess what happened then?”
“The Taoist companion of the Foundation Establishment Uncle Master was killed by the two?” Lu Xuan asked subconsciously.
“No, the Uncle Master who got restrained couldn’t resist under the Bewitching Immortal Peach’s enchanting aura for a long time and joined in, resulting in a big chaotic fight…”
“Hiss!”
“Is this what they call… if you can’t beat them, join them?”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but take in a cold breath, calming his emotions.
“Senior Brother, I have nothing to do this afternoon, you can go ahead and explain further about that chaotic fight.”
“After such a big chaotic fight, the sect directly sent those three Uncle Masters to the distant and harsh Miserable Cold Secret Realm. We do not know what the situation is with them now, only their deeds are forever circulating within our sect.”
The old farmer monk concluded in the end.
“This Bewitching Immortal Peach is indeed something else.”
Hearing all of this, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath and sigh.
“However, senior brother, my cultivation in normal days is barely satisfactory, and I focus more on planting spirit plants. Therefore, the influence of Bewitching Immortal Peach on me is not that significant. As I’ve come across such an interesting spiritual plant, I still want to try planting it.”
“Alright, since junior brother has made a choice, I won’t say anything more. If the quantity of Bewitching Immortal Peaches is limited, the impact won’t be too great. Junior Brother Lu, you just need to be more cautious.”
“What’s the approximate price of a Bewitching Immortal Peach Spirit Seed in spirit stones?”
Lu Xuan asked the old farmer monk.
“The Bewitching Immortal Peach is a periodic spiritual plant, it can bear spirit fruits repeatedly within its lifespan. Hence, its price is slightly higher than the other ordinary third-grade spiritual plants, and each version of the spirit seed costs 320 spirit stones.”
“Then please senior brother, get me three Peach Immortal spiritual seeds.”
Lu Xuan took out 960 spirit stones from his storage bag.
Although the expenditure was huge, these came from the fellows in Thousand Dragon Lake anyway, there was no anguish in spending them.
While the old farmer monk went to get the Bewitching Immortal Peach Spirit Seeds, Lu Xuan continued to flip through the jade book in his hand.
The number of third-grade spirit species or spiritual plant seedlings that could be bought with spirit stones on the jade book was not many, most of them were still out of stock.
He roughly scanned it once, didn’t find the desired spirit species, so he picked up another jade book that listed second-grade spiritual plants that could be purchased with spirit stones.
The number of spiritual plant species in this jade book was much more, he found four available species of spirit fruits. After weighing it, he decided to choose one of the spirit fruit plants he had seen before, the Flaming Fruit.
He had previously taken a task related to Flaming Fruit from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and helped a round-faced female cultivator solve the growth problem of a mutated Flaming Fruit. So he had a certain understanding of it.
“Three third-grade Bewitching Immortal Peaches, plus some Flaming Fruit, that should be enough.”
“The area of the cave mansion’s spirit field is limited, planting so many second and third-grade spiritual plants, the spiritual power is just barely enough. Once the cultivation level breaks through to the Foundation Establishment, and I have my independent mountain peak with abundant spiritual power, I’ll consider planting more spiritual plants.”
Lu Xuan spoke to himself.
“Junior Brother Lu, here are the Bewitching Immortal Peach spiritual seeds, you must take good care of them, plant them ASAP to prevent the loss of vitality which could affect their growth.”
It didn’t take long for the old farmer monk to come out with a white jade box, on the outer layer of the box, there was a charm attached. Based on Lu Xuan’s understanding of basic charms, it seemed to be related to a purification type of rune.
He carefully opened the jade box, inside were three peach cores the size of a fist. The peach cores were a light red with dense furrows, pink smoke flowed faintly between the grooves, touching the cultivators’ heartstrings.
“Thank you, senior brother. Also, please tell me, how many spirit stones are needed for each flaming fruit spiritual seed?”
“A second-grade spiritual plant Flaming Fruit? Each would cost 55 spirit stones, how many does Junior Brother Lu need?”
“Get me ten.”
Lu Xuan took out 550 spirit stones and said with a smile.
“So many? Junior Brother Lu is indeed integrating planting of spiritual plants without any reservation.”
“Such a strong talent, and still working so hard on planting spiritual plants, no wonder he is valued by the Hall Master.”
The old farmer monk clicked his tongue in surprise, in his memory, Lu Xuan had already exchanged many second and third-grade spiritual plants from the Agricultural Department Hall, far exceeding the average level of Qi Cultivation Spirit Plant Masters in terms of the diversity of spiritual plants cultivated.
As the monk received the spirit stones, he was sighing with emotion while going into the inner hall of the Agricultural Department Hall to get the spiritual seeds for Lu Xuan.
“Here are the ten Flaming Fruit spiritual seeds, Junior Brother Lu please check.”
The storage of the second-grade Flaming Fruit spiritual seeds was much simpler than the third-grade Bewitching Immortal Peaches, and very quickly, the old farmer monk came out from the inner hall, giving Lu Xuan ten spiritual seeds that looked like burning fires.
Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude. He returned to his cave mansion with the
Bewitching Immortal Peach and the Flaming Fruit spiritual seeds..
