“Third-grade spirit species!”

Lu Xuan almost cried out in surprise, hastily hiding the delight on his face.

He hadn’t expected that such a peculiar stone he had picked up in the Secret

Land, after being planted out of boredom, would turn out to be a dormant third-grade spirit species.

You must know that up till now, among the spirit plants he cultivated, only the Phantom Smoke Fruit and the Flood Dragon Vine are at the third stage, and both were obtained through unconventional means.

“Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, feeds on Resentful Spirits -whether it’s the name or the way it’s planted- it all sounds quite ominous.

However, in the face of third-grade spirit species, whether it’s ominous or not

is utterly irrelevant.

Just as he was about to put the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom into his storage bag, his movements abruptly halted.

He withdrew his arm and looked casually around.

More than ten Spirit Plant Masters were searching for a way to identify Normal Dragon Beard Grass, among them there were three near Lu Xuan, the two high-tier Qi cultivators from the Wang family, only Li Jianfeng who had the centipede scar on his face, was standing on a high place, overlooking everyone.

Lu Xuan understood, these two men ostensibly were escorting more than ten

Spirit Plant Masters, but in fact, they also had intentions of surveillance to prevent Spirit Plant Masters from hoarding for personal gams, and stealing the second-grade Dragon Beard Grass on the mountainside.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan ignored the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom in the crack and walked straight to one side.

Using the excuse of looking for Normal Dragon Beard Grass, he began to search around to see if he could find any new Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms.

Surprisingly, a moment later, he found two more Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms. He tried planting them and found that they were the same as the one he found before, currently in a dormant state, needing Resentful Spirits to awaken.

Lu Xuan had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

“Logically speaking, the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom’s location isn’t concealed, the Wang family’s cultivator and Spirit Plant Masters have been in this area for an unknown period, it’s impossible that they didn’t find this Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom. Why are they still around?

“There’s only one possibility. The Wang family cultivators don’t know what this stone with a bizarre face on it is!”

The dozen or so Spirit Plant Masters present probably also had the same thoughts.

The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, a plan forming in his mind.

“Huh? What is this? Why does it look so strange?”

He suddenly exclaimed, plucking the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom out of the crack.

Hearing his words, the nearby Spirit Plant Master looked on curiously, and Li Jianfeng, the scar-faced cultivator not far away, also turned his gaze to Lu

Xuan.

Lu Xuan held the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, hopped a few steps, and came to Li Jianfeng’s side.

“Li Dao You, this is an odd item I found while identifying Dragon Beard Grass,

it looks like it has a strange face on it.”

“The Secret Land was discovered and developed by the Wang family. All the Dragon Beard Grass here belongs to the Wang family, so I’ve decided to give it to the Wang family.”

Li Jianfeng glanced at the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom in Lu Xuan’s hand and said casually,

“It’s just a bizarrely shaped stone.”

The Wang family cultivators had discovered the existence of this strange stone when they first entered this place.

At first, they thought it was some kind of rare treasure. They brought several pieces back to the Wang family, studied them for a while, and even invited a cultivator from the Wanbao Building who specialized in identifying treasures to inspect them, but found nothing unusual.

In addition, the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom is different from normal spiritual plant seeds. When they enter a dormant state, they have no spiritual energy fluctuations and are no different from the other stones on the mountain.

So, the Wang family cultivators eventually lost their curiosity and started treating them as just oddly shaped stones.

“So that’s how it is, I thought it was something valuable! So it’s just a piece of junk.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan, with a disappointed look on his face, idly threw the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom onto the ground.

The eerie stone rolled on the ground, revealing the terrifying face composed of weird patterns from time to time.

Around it, the Spirit Plant Masters who were listening intently, continued to busy themselves with identifying the Dragon Beard Grass.

An entire afternoon passed, progress was slow, no effective method was found to differentiate normal Dragon Beard Grass from mutated Dragon Beard Grass.

In the process, some Spirit Plant Masters continuously stimulated the plants using cultivation methods, trying to provoke the mutated tendrils into attacking.

But this method depleted spiritual power massively, and there was no guarantee whether there were still any mutant Dragon Beard Grass hiding themselves.

As evening approached, the scholarly Wang Ruohai returned to the camp after half a day out, carrying the carcass of a wolf-like demon beast in his hands.

“How is it? Did you find any effective methods?”

Li Jianfeng shook his head, glancing at the demon beast corpse in his hand. “Found a Tier-2 beast outside, took care of it on the way, also discovered several first-grade Spirit Plants, the harvest was pretty good.”

Li Jianfeng nodded.

After Lu Xuan and other Spirit Plant Masters finished their identification work , they returned to the camp, had dinner, and each went back to their own rooms.

Due to a shortage of time, the camp wasn’t well constructed, it only functioned as a resting place.

In the darkness, and with the dangers and sneak attacks of the mutant Dragon Beard Grass much higher than during the day, there were no cultivators staying around the mountainside. Only a middle-stage Qi practitioner from Wang Family was guarding the outside area.

Several Spirit Plant Masters continued to discuss how to identify quickly and effectively, while some went straight to their rooms to cultivate.

After cultivating for a few hours, Lu Xuan let out the Cloud Leopard for fresh air and then went to sleep early on a wooden bed.

Late at night, everything was still.

Lu Xuan, who had been sleeping soundly on the wooden bed for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, they were bright.

He listened carefully for a while, his spiritual sense detected nothing unusual.

He quietly operated his spiritual power, pouring it into thin the dark gold Hidden Spirit Cloak he was wearing.

Immediately, the semi-transparent threads inside the Spirit Cloak moved silently at high speed, and Lu Xuan’s figure vanished from the bed.

Half a moment later, he reappeared inside the room without a trace.

In his hand was a Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, a smile on his lips.

“To pick up this so-called garbage, it takes half a bottle of spiritual power!”

He snickered, took out a Yuan Cultivating Pill from his storage bag, and quickly replenished his spiritual power.

During the daytime, using his personal experience as a backing, he had labeled the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom as worthless in front of the cultivators from the Wang Family, thoroughly dispelling everyone’s interest in the strange stone.

He originally planned to pick it up and put it into his storage bag, but out of caution, he ended up taking the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom inconspicuously in the middle of the night, using the invisibility ability of the Hidden Spirit Cloak.

To avoid arousing suspicion by completely disappearing, he specifically only took one Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom that was slightly concealed.

The remaining and possibly undiscovered Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms, he planned to gradually nab unnoticed during his stay in this place.

“Picking one requires quite the effort, but compared to its value as a third-grade spiritual plant, it was not in vain.”

“It’s just that, how am I, a humble and honest Spirit Plant Master, supposed to find these Resentful Spirits to awaken this Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom?

Darkly, Lu Xuan thought about incorporating this matter into his plans, to cultivate the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom after leaving the Secret Land..
