An idea flashes in his mind, and Lu Xuan feels something unusual within him.

His typically calm spiritual power suddenly surges, rampaging through his meridians.

After half a moment, the uncontrolled spiritual power gradually calms down.

Lu Xuan carefully senses the changes within him, not able to keep a trace of joy from his face.

His cultivation level has suddenly increased considerably, the equivalent of three months of hard cultivation, and he is just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation.

“After so long since my transmigration, my golden finger has finally arrived.”

Lu Xuan was overjoyed: in his previous life, he was quite ordinary in terms of mentality and physical condition. Without any external aid, he didn’t know how he was going to survive in the Cultivation World.

Information flows into his mind, mysteriously revealing everything about the white light group to him.

Whenever he personally plants and cultivates a spirit plant or spirit grass, ripening and harvesting them will yield a white light group as a reward. Within the white light group, he can extract cultivation level, magic artifacts, cultivation techniques, elixirs, and other items.

The richness of the rewards is related to many factors, such as his involvement in the growth process of the spirit plant, the type and rank of the spirit plant, and the quality of the product at maturation. All of this will affect the size of the white light group’s reward.

The light group is only visible and tangible to him, others can’t see it. If it is not his personally planted spirit plant, he will not get the light group reward.

“So, what you’re saying is, as long as I successfully cultivate a spirit plant, in addition to the spirit plant itself, I can also receive additional rewards from the light group?”

“Isn’t that double the harvest and double the joy then?”

Lu Xuan looks at the Spirit Firefly Grass and the Moon Erosion Tree that are growing vigorously in the soil, as if he could see the white light groups flashing at him.

“I, Lu Xuan, have achieved what I have today thanks to my continuous hard cultivation and diligent care for spirit plants.”

Lu Xuan can’t help but think.

He feels that ever since the white light group appeared, the many spirit plants in the spirit field have also shown inexplicable changes.

Lu Xuan, sensing a stroke of luck, concentrates his attention on a stalk of Spirit Firefly Grass under his feet.

A barely noticeable progress bar appears above the Spirit Firefly Grass. The nearly full progress bar indicates that the Spirit Firefly Grass in front of him is about to be fully mature.

Another piece of information flashes through Lu Xuan’s mind.

“Recently soaked by the Spirit Rain, content as can be, but feeling a little squeezed due to the neighbor’s too long and large roots.”

What, is this like a real-time status for spirit plants?

With a question in his mind, Lu Xuan focuses his spirit on another stalk of Spirit Firefly Grass next to him.

The progress bar is also more than halfway full, and similar information flashes through his mind.

The neighboring Spirit Firefly Grass seems to be growing quite well, but likewise feels that the neighboring roots are too long and large, occupying its growth space.

“In that case, there is no solution, the spirit field is only so big, so you guys have to bear with it, and get used to step over rejection.”

Lu Xuan sighs.

Whether it’s the progress bar or the real-time status, both are quite beneficial to him: they allow him to understand the growth needs of spirit plants, adjust the details, and make them mature faster and better.

Looking at the progress bar that is about to be filled, he can’t wait to use the Spirit Rain Technique right away to speed up the maturation of the Spirit Firefly Grass.

But he knows full well the principle that excess is as bad as deficiency. Proper nourishment is very beneficial for spirit plants, but if he nourishes it frequently, it’s like spoiling it by assisting growth prematurely.

Even if it matures, if its quality is poor, it will affect the reward of the white light group.

This thought soothes Lu Xuan’s eagerness to harvest the Spirit Firefly Grass and receive the reward from the light group.

Just as he was about to go back to his room, a thought strikes him, and he goes to the western side of the yard.

Since he can know the real-time status of the spirit plants, wouldn’t the Spirit Firefly Grass being affected by the black thread reveal its truth?

He concentrates, gathering his spiritual sense on the Spirit Firefly Grass tightly entwined with the black threads.

The progress bar is not too different from the previous two stalks, it’s also about to be filled.

Information flows into Lu Xuan’s mind.

“The Spirit Firefly Grass, being eroded by the Black Bud Worm Larva, is in a worrying state. If not treated in time, its life-force will be completely consumed by the Black Bud Worm, turning it into a withered stalk.”

“Black Bud Worm Larva…”

Lu Xuan murmurs to himself, his anxiety easing up a bit.

Now that he knows where the black threads come from, it’s a relief, at least he’s no longer fumbling around without a solution.

He hurries back to his room, flips out a thick book.

“Common Harmful Demon Bugs and Their Solutions”.

The book records hundreds of common demon insects that may harm spirit plants during cultivation, along with solutions suggested by the author of the book.

He flips through the pages quickly, soon locating the details about the Black Bud Worm.

“Black Bud Worm, adult worm as thick as a finger, moves like the wind, loves to ingest the leaves and branches of spirit plants.”

“During laying, it will leave its eggs on the spirit plant. After hatching, the larvae grow by absorbing the life-force of the spirit plant. When the life-force of the spirit plant got exhausted, the larva will leave automatically, looking for the next target.”

“The solution requires a cultivator of the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation, who is skilled in offensive spells.”

“The eggs and larvae are extremely hard to detect for lower-rank Qi cultivating monks unless their spiritual sense is exceptionally sharp.”

“As the larvae are too small and entangled with the spirit plant, they could easily harm the plant during treatment. Therefore, only those who are proficient in certain specific spells and can aptly control them can solve this problem.”

Lu Xuan closes the book and starts meditating.

“To avoid harming the spirit plants affected by the larvae, the spell used must meet two conditions.”
