Chapter 233 You’re Still Just a Child__i
Translator: 549690339 |
As the Demonic Vine Seedling basked in the intoxicating scent of the Enchanted Immortal Peach, Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense detected something amiss here.
With a few leaps, he reached the area where the Enchanted Immortal Peach was planted.
In the faint pink miasma, thin vines appeared out of nowhere on the light grey tendrils of the Demonic Vine, restlessly writhing in the miasma.
Lu Xuan concentrated on the tendrils of the Demonic Vines and immediately understood that they had fallen into the trap of longing set by the Enchanted Immortal Peach.
Although its rank was two higher than the Third-Rank Bewitching Fairy Peach it was just recently cultivated and had limited resistance. The third-grade spiritual Enchanting Immortal Peach naturally attracted it, causing it to fall into the trap unintentionally.
You’re still just a child! How could you be covered in tendrils?”
Lu Xuan said with a pained expression, then a Cleansing Spell landed on the dusty looking Demonic Vine.
A light haze of spiritual light swept over every tendril, immediately followed by all the tendrils quivering simultaneously, retracting back into the Demonic Vine’s body.
The Demonic Vine Seedling sensed Lu Xuan’s presence and crawled into his sleeve in confusion.
“Using a Cleansing Spell on one spiritual plant to erase the influence of another…”
“What kind of strange things am I dealing with?”
Lu Xuan shook his head, carrying the Demonic Vine Seedling back to the courtyard.
He pulled the Demonic Vine that was tightly curled around his arm, looking serious.
The Demonic Vine had a habit of devouring spiritual plant seeds. With so many spiritual plants planted on the mountain, he must teach it from an early age to not eat indiscriminately.
If it were to gobble up a rare spiritual plant seedling or a high-rank spirit seed, he would be heartbroken.
“Stay put, I have something to say to you.”
Seeing that the Demonic Vine was trying to wriggle into his sleeve again, Lu Xuan stated solemnly.
“All the spiritual plants on this mountain were planted and nurtured by me, requiring a lot of time and effort. You must absolutely not consume them indiscriminately before they mature.”
“If I catch you doing it once, I’ll cut all of your tendrils!”
Lu Xuan pointed at the light grey tendrils of the Demonic Vine and threatened fiercely.
The Demonic Vine Seedling lifted the end of its tendril as if to nod in response. “However, as long as you behave, you will have plenty to eat. Once they mature the branches, spirit fruits, and the like will be enough for you to feast on.” He tapped the top of the Demonic Vine tendril with his hand and the grey vine climbed up along his finger, burrowing into Lu Xuan’s sleeve.
After soothing the Demonic Vine Seedling, Lu Xuan took out the Life Bag and brushed it with his spiritual power.
Two Baby Double-headed Armadillos appeared on the ground, looking blankly.
They were shorter than a foot, and their scale armour was still soft.
The moment they saw Lu Xuan, both young beasts seemed to recognize him as the one who snatched them from their nest. Their four slender heads roared at him all at once, their voices still immature yet fiercely cute.
“When I found you, your entire tribe had gone out, leaving only you two helpless cubs. Seeing you pitiful with no one to care for you, I rescued you. Is this how you treat your saviour?”
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
The two young beasts still looked ferocious.
“Whichever head stops shouting, I’ll feed it this spirit ore.”
He tossed a pristine spirit ore in his hand towards the two Qiu Yu demon beasts. As soon as he saw one head too weak to shout, he brought the spirit ore up to that head.
Crunching noises kept coming, the hard spirit ore was instantly crushed, making the other head that was too close feel as if it was experiencing it too.
It opened its eyes wide in anger, turned its complicated gaze towards the other half of its body.
With the encouragement from the first head, the other three heads quickly calmed down. For a while, the crunching sound was relentless.
Seeing the two-headed Qiu Yu babies becoming obedient, Lu Xuan left them in a rock wall of the mountain.
A yellow spiritual light surged on the bodies of the two-headed Qiu Yu babies, their sharp claws dug a few times, and they immediately burrowed into the rock wall.
“Worthy of being a two-headed Qiu Yu that excels at the earth escape technique, even as babies, their talents are fully displayed.”
Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense dived into the rock wall, he noticed that the two two- headed Qiu Yu babies had built a simple nest, which eased his mind.
He found an open space on the mountain, and the earth attraction technique of the great achievement realm was used, the underground structure changed rapidly and two spirit fields were quickly opened.
Large quantities of Wu spirit soil was transported from the storage bag, spread onto the surface of the spiritual field, forming a thick layer.
In the spiritual field, a pale-yellow spiritual light flickers over the surface of the spirit soil, and you can feel an extremely rich power of life inside.
He swept the two-headed Qiu Yu’s nest in the blessed land empty, and got a lot of Wu spirit soil, enough to cultivate many spiritual plants.
Most of the Wu spirit soil was used to pave two spirit fields, and the small remaining part was evenly scattered around the mountain by Lu Xuan, adding some fertility to the overall mountain.
He plans to only use the two spirit fields for planting high-grade spirit plants.
There is no need to transplant the ones that have been planted before, and he has four fourth-grade spirit gathering pine seeds in his hands.
He took out four spirit seeds from his storage bag, and a thin sword light as thm as a cicada’s wing was shot out from his Dantian, carefully peeling off the amber that wrapped the spiritual plant.
Before long, the slender spirit seed protected inside revealed its real face.
After planting in the Wu spirit soil, a piece of information flashed through his mind.
[Spirit Gathering Pine, Fourth Grade Spirit Plant, needs spiritual sense communication and nourishment during growth, and can enhance the spiritual sense of cultivators after maturity.)
[Spirit seeds are in a dormant state and need to be warmed up by spiritual sense for a period of time before they can be restored to their original state.]
It’s a good thing to be able to successfully plant it, even though it’s a bit troublesome to have to warm it up with the spiritual sense for a period of time. But compared to its value as a fourth-grade spirit plant, it’s not a big deal.” Lu Xuan sighed, planted the other three spirit gathering pine seeds separately into the spirit soil, strips of spiritual sense slowly seeped into the spirit seeds quietly warming them.
Unknowingly, a faint vitality appeared inside the spirit gathering pine spirit seeds, although weak, but extremely tenacious, expressing a will of fortitude. “After the Red Cloud Pine in Linyang Market, this Spirit Gathering Pine is the second pine spirit plant I have planted. However, the Red Cloud Pine is only a first-grade, and its value is far lower than the fourth-grade Spirit Gathering
“Of course, the difficulty of cultivation and the efficacy of the spirit fruit also have a huge difference.”
“Spirit plants that can enhance the spiritual sense of cultivators, as far as I know, there is no such spirit plant for exchange in the sect, so you can imagine how treasured its value is.”
While Lu Xuan was lost in thought, he flew down from a wide crevice.
The hot air hit him in the face, the lava river below the ground was surging, and from time to time, hot magma lifted, fell on the surrounding stone wall, and stirred up waves of green smoke.
Lu Xuan stepped on a protruding boulder, holding a charred piece of wood full of dark golden cracks in his hand.
