You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 669: Reminder

Among the three individuals who had achieved Core Formation and one Tree Spirit present, Lu Xuan was indeed the most suitable person to cleanse the Soul Devouring Strange Fungus.

Firstly, he had mastered the Pure Yang True Fire, a Supreme Yang Strange Fire, which naturally restrained those bizarre fungal strands. Additionally, he could perceive the detailed state of the Spirit Plant and could aptly force the fungal strands out.

The Thunderfire Spirit Power was overbearing and fierce; although it restrained the Soul Devouring Strange Fungus, it could easily cause serious damage to the Spirit Plant.

If it was too weak, it wouldn’t sufficiently threaten the Soul Devouring Strange Fungus.

However, Lu Xuan could precisely control the state of the Spirit Plant and, without harming it, bring the effectiveness of the Pure Yang True Fire to its peak.

The Platinum Fire Net continuously harvested, and after a while, everyone’s expressions changed simultaneously. In their Spiritual Sense, strands of transparent filaments slowly seeped out from the Tiger Leopard Grass, passed through the fine holes of the fire net, and stopped mid-air, constantly wriggling.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Power surged inside him, and strands of Platinum Fire flew out, gently circling around those transparent filaments.

The transparent filaments burned silently at a very fast pace, spreading quickly, and soon, they burned to nothingness, turning into transparent powder that lightly floated down to the ground.

Lu Xuan followed suit, carefully driving out the Soul Devouring Strange Fungus that had parasitized more than a dozen Tiger Leopard Grass plants, and then calmly cleaned them.

“Okay, the Soul Devouring Strange Fungus inside the Tiger Leopard Grass has been completely cleansed,” he said calmly as he came before Zhang Jiuzong and the others, having cut off all the black-spotted parts of the Spirit Plant.

He employed the Spirit Rain Technique and drew several Tiger Monster Beast Spirit Souls from the surroundings, fully nourishing the newly recovered Tiger Leopard Grass.

With the parasites inside the Tiger Leopard Grass completely resolved, it once again flourished with vitality. Although its form was somewhat damaged, it visibly possessed more vitality than before.

“Friend Lu’s mastery in Spirit Plants is truly astonishing,” Zhang Jiuzong remarked, unable to restrain his admiration.

He had heard that Lu Xuan was quite accomplished in Spirit Plants and therefore thought of seeking Lu Xuan’s help after being at a loss with the Tiger Leopard Grass.

He had not expected to underestimate him; finding and resolving the unheard-of Soul Devouring Strange Fungus so effortlessly, Lu Xuan proved to be terrifyingly proficient in Spirit Plants!

“Friend Lu, I was impolite just now. I was preoccupied with the Tiger Leopard Grass and was somewhat brusque in my speech; please forgive me,” one lean cultivator, equally impressed by Lu Xuan, said.

When he first entered the Blessed Land, he noticed Zhang Jiuzong had already brought people to check the Tiger Leopard Grass.

Because he had gone to the Outer Domains to invite a Mu Family Spirit Monster, it had delayed his time, costing him significantly. If the problem had been resolved by Lu Xuan, that would have been a considerable loss, so upon arriving at the Spirit Field in the Blessed Land, he felt somewhat unbalanced.

Knowing that Lu Xuan had only been promoted a few years ago and was a Loose Cultivator by origin, even if he specialized as a Spirit Plant Master, his mastery in Spirit Plants was presumably limited, hence, he had regarded Lu Xuan with some contempt.

Yet, a problem that had troubled the Commerce Association for quite a long time and which even Elder Mu of the Mu Family had been unable to resolve, was effortlessly resolved by Lu Xuan.

Although he felt somewhat regretful inside, he had no choice but to accept the reality and took the opportunity to get to know Lu Xuan better.

This Spirit Plant Master, though lower than his own level by one realm, with such a skill in Spirit Plants, held a promising future in the Commerce Association.

“It’s alright, Friend Han need not worry; it was all in the effort to solve the issue with the Tiger Leopard Grass.

“It’s my fortune to have met Elder Mu as well,” Lu Xuan gracefully resolved the slight awkwardness in Han Song’s expression, not taking the previous verbal conflict to heart.

As long as it did not involve his own safety and life, or major interests, Lu Xuan maintained an indifferent attitude and simply laughed it off.

Since Han Song had extended an olive branch, he took it willingly, making a good connection.

“By the way, Friend Zhang, Friend Han, and Elder Mu, there is one thing I must remind you of,” he said, his expression becoming serious.

“Friend Lu, please explain.”

Seeing Lu Xuan’s expression, Zhang Jiuzong’s joy instantly diminished, and he quickly asked Lu Xuan.

“These Soul Devouring Strange Fungi are extremely rare. From the information I have gathered, an environment like the Spirit Phantom Blessed Land might spawn them, but other factors also cannot be ruled out.”

“Considering such a scale, the likelihood of natural formation is even lower.”

“You mean, Friend Lu…”

Lu Xuan nodded:

“These Soul Devouring Strange Fungi were likely placed in the Blessed Land deliberately.”

Lu Xuan stated succinctly that the number of these fungi was not small, making it unlikely for them to appear naturally at once, and he worried about other underlying factors, thus he specifically mentioned this.

As for what the Commerce Association does next to eliminate and screen, that is no longer his concern.

“Thank you for the reminder, I will inform the Commerce Association to investigate thoroughly,” Zhang Jiuzong said solemnly.

“Regardless, Friend Lu has played a significant role in solving the Tiger Leopard Grass issue, and the Commerce Association will surely thank you properly.”

He said with a smile to Lu Xuan.

“Friend Lu, you have not been a Commerce Association Guest Elder for long and have not yet gained enough trust and understanding. There are others skilled in Spirit Plants among the guest elders besides you.”

“Since you are still relatively inexperienced, the Commerce Association places you in a relatively later position when assigning the cultivation of High Rank Spirit Plants.”

“However, after this Tiger Leopard Grass incident, your status in the eyes of the Commerce Association’s upper echelons will surely rise sharply, at least in my opinion,” said Zhang Jiuzong with a hint of enthusiasm.

“When the Commerce Association decides on the allocation of High-grade Spirit Seeds, I will strongly recommend you, Friend Lu, and ensure you receive a right to cultivate a significant number of High Rank Spirit Plants.”

“I will also speak a few good words for you,” Han Song immediately added.

“Then I thank both of you, friends,” Lu Xuan said quickly, feeling grateful that this trip to the Blessed Land was quite worthwhile, as he would be gaining numerous high-grade Spirit Seeds and also receive a generous reward from the Commerce Association—an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

“Friend Han, Friend Zhang, the problem with the Tiger Leopard Grass has been solved, and I will now return to the Mu Xuan Realm,” said the black-green Tree Spirit suddenly.

The two tried their best to retain him, but the Tree Spirit had made up its mind, and in the end, they had to reluctantly agree.

“Friend Lu, my roots are not in this realm, and staying here long term is somewhat uncomfortable for me, so I must return quickly.

Your talent in Spirit Plants has opened my eyes. If you have a chance, remember to visit the Mu Xuan Realm, and let’s have a good exchange,” the Tree Spirit said, looking at Lu Xuan with a kindly smile.

“Certainly, if I have the chance, I will definitely come to learn from Elder Mu,” Lu Xuan replied earnestly, his interest piqued in cultivating Tree Spirits compared to ordinary Spirit Plants.

However, this idea remained in the depths of his mind, definitely not something he would let this ancient Tree Spirit, which had lived for thousands of years, know.

The Tree Spirit emanated countless green lights, its entire body rapidly dematerializing, turning into a black-green shadow and entering the Void with the speed of lightning.
