Chapter 2 Insect Pests
Thoughts flashed, Lu Xuan felt a strange feeling coming from his body.
The spiritual power that was originally calm and peaceful suddenly surged, rushing back and forth between Lu Xuan's veins.
Half a moment later, the uncontrolled spiritual power gradually subsided.
Lu Xuan felt the changes in his body carefully, and couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face.
His cultivation base has risen a lot, which is equivalent to three months of hard work on weekdays, and it is only a short distance away from breaking through to the third level of Qi training.
"It's been so long since time travel, and the cheat has finally arrived."
Lu Xuan was overjoyed. In his previous life, both his mind and his body were mediocre, and the aptitude background of this body he occupied was also mediocre. If he didnt have cheats, he still doesnt know how to survive in the world of practice.
A message popped up in his mind, and he understood everything about this white light ball.
Any spiritual plant or spiritual grass planted and cultivated by oneself will be rewarded with a white light group after harvesting it maturely. From the white light group, various things such as cultivation bases, magic tools, exercises, and elixir can be obtained.
The richness of rewards is related to many factors. The degree of participation in the growth process of Lingzhi, the type, grade, and appearance of Lingzhi when it matures, etc., will all affect the size of the reward of the white light group.
The light group can only be seen and touched by yourself, and outsiders cannot see it. When you pick a spiritual plant that is not planted by yourself, you cannot get the light group reward.
"That is to say, as long as I successfully plant a spiritual plant, besides the spiritual plant itself, I can also get an additional light group reward?"
"Isn't that double the harvest, double the happiness?"
Looking at the vigorous growth of the firefly grass and the eclipse tree in the soil, Lu Xuan seemed to see white light clusters flickering towards him.
"I, Lu Xuan, can achieve what I am today, thanks to my hard work in cultivation and taking care of Ling Zhi."
Lu Xuan couldn't help thinking.
He felt that since the appearance of the white light cluster, many spiritual plants in the spiritual field have also undergone inexplicable changes.
Lu Xuanfu went to the heart and concentrated his mind on the spirit firefly grass under his feet.
A faint progress bar appeared in the sky above the Yingyingcao. The almost full progress bar indicated that the Yingyingcao in front of me was about to enter a fully mature stage.
A piece of information flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.
"Just being moistened by the spiritual rain, I am satisfied, but the neighbor's rhizome is too big and too long, and it is a bit squeezed."
What is this, Lingzhi's instant status?
Lu Xuan was puzzled, and his mind was gathered on a nearby Lingyingcao.
The progress bar was also more than half full, and the same message flashed through his mind.
The spirit firefly grass next to it is growing quite well, but I also feel that the neighbor's rhizome is too long and too big, occupying its growth space.
"Then there is no way to do this, the Lingtian is so big, I can only force you, and the roots will be added."
Lu Xuan sighed.

Whether it is the growth progress bar or the real-time status, it is of great help to him. It allows him to grasp the growth needs of Lingzhi, adjust the details, and make it mature faster and better.
Looking at the progress bar that was about to reach the top, he wished he could immediately cast the spirit rain technique to ripen the spirit firefly grass.
But he also knows the truth that too much is too much, proper moisture is of great benefit to spiritual plants, but if it is frequently moisturised, it will be tantamount to backfire.
Even if it is mature and poor in appearance, it will affect the reward of the white light group.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan ripened the spirit firefly grass in his heart, and the thought of receiving the reward from the light group immediately dissipated.
When he was about to go back to the house, he thought of something and turned around to the west of the yard.
Since the real-time status of Lingzhi can be known, will the Lingyingcao eroded by the thin black lines also reveal the truth.
He held his breath and focused his attention on the spirit firefly grass tightly wound with thin black threads.
The progress bar is not much different from the previous two plants, and it is about to be full.
A piece of information flooded into Lu Xuan's mind.
"The spirit firefly that has been infested by the black budworm larvae is in a worrying state. If it is not dealt with in time, the vitality in the body will be completely sucked by the black budworm and become dead grass."
"Black budworm larva..."
Lu Xuan murmured to himself, letting go of his hanging heart.
Knowing the origin of the black thin line will be much easier, at least you dont have to be like a headless chicken with no direction to solve it.
He heard the name, and felt a little familiar. He hurried back to the house and turned out a thick book.
"Common harmful monsters and their solutions".
It records hundreds of common monster insects that may harm the spiritual plant during the process of planting the elixir, as well as the treatment suggestions left by the author of the book.
Lu Xuan flipped through the pages, and quickly found detailed information about the black bud worm.
"Black bud worms, adults are as thick as little fingers, come and go like the wind, and like to devour the branches and leaves of spiritual plants."
"When laying eggs, they will stay on the spiritual plant. After the eggs hatch, the larvae will grow by absorbing the vitality of the spiritual plant. When the vitality of the spiritual plant is exhausted, they will automatically leave and look for the next target."
"The solution. Adults need a monk who has three levels of Qi training and is good at attacking spells to deal with it safely."
"Eggs and larvae are extremely difficult for low-level Qi practitioners to detect unless they have a keen spiritual sense."
"Because the larva target is too small, and it is connected with the spiritual plant, it is easy to affect the damage to the spiritual plant when dealing with it. Therefore, it needs to be deeply accomplished in certain specific spells, and it can be solved with subtle manipulation."
Lu Xuan closed the book, closed his eyes and meditated.
"To avoid harming the spiritual plants infested by larvae, the spells used must meet two conditions."
"One is to have sufficient lethality, and the other is to control the damage range."
Because of his humble background, he has only mastered two low-level spells because of his cultivation base of only the second level of Qi training.
One is the spirit rain technique, which is mainly used to cultivate spiritual plants, and the other is the fireball technique, which is also used for self-defense.
But he knows these two spells but is not proficient, and he is completely unable to achieve fine control.
And the two spells don't look like specific spells that satisfy the needs of cleaning up black budworm larvae.
In the initial stage of the spirit rain technique, it can only nourish the spiritual plants. Lu Xuan reckons that if he uses one spell, the black bud worm larvae will not only be harmless, but will be even more excited...
As for the fireball technique, although the damage is enough, if one fireball goes down, it will be the end of the spirit firefly grass and the black budworm larvae.
"It seems that we still have to go to Fangshi to seek help, let's spend money and eliminate disasters."
"Fortunately, we can prescribe the right medicine and save a little bit."
Lu Xuan touched the slightly shriveled cloth bag around his waist, and sighed quietly.
"Brother Lu, are you at home?"
Amidst the knock on the door, a loud voice came from outside the yard.
Immediately afterwards, a gray-black grass rope swam over from the corner of the yard, and lightly tapped Lu Xuan's knee.
It was the grass puppet staying in the yard, who sensed that someone was about to invade the area of Lingtian, and warned Lu Xuan.
"Everyone stopped outside the door for a while, and greeted you before you called the police. If there was any malicious intent, you might not even be able to react when your home was stolen."
Looking at the retracted gray and black grass rope, Lu Xuan couldn't help but touch his forehead.
That voice sounded familiar, it was one of the few monks that Lu Xuan met through time travelling.
"Here we come, Brother Zhang!"
He responded, came to the courtyard gate, and opened the gate.
A tall, simple-looking monk walked in.
The name of the person who came was Zhang Hong, who was at the third level of Qi training. He lived next door to Lu Xuan. There was a Taoist companion at the second level of Qi training, who raised a six or seven-year-old child. He gave Lu Xuan a lot of advice when he came here. Let him avoid a lot of crooked paths.
"Brother Zhang, please come in and have a cup of hot tea."
Lu Xuan led Zhang Hong into the house.
Zhang Hong turned his head to look at the well-growing lingyingcao and eclipse trees on both sides of the bluestone path, and nodded.
"Brother Lu, you have taken good care of these two kinds of spiritual plants. It seems that there will be a good harvest after a while."
"That's it. It can't be compared with the spiritual plants in the spiritual field in your home, Brother Zhang."
After Zhang Hong was seated, Lu Xuan made him a cup of hot tea.
In the tea bowl, two or three tender green tea leaves were floating and sinking, spinning endlessly.
Zhang Hong didn't take it seriously, he knew Lu Xuan's cultivation and family background, and it was quite polite to have a cup of tea with spiritual tea.
"As expected of Qingyu tea, drinking it seems like a drizzle nourishes the heart. Only you, little brother Lu, have the opportunity to drink such a good cup of tea."
"At home, your sister-in-law doesn't allow anything, it's boring."
Zhang Hong thought carefully about the effects of the spirit tea, closed his eyes and shook his head, thinking of being aggrieved at home, he couldn't help but patted his thigh.
"No way, sister-in-law wants to prepare for Xiaoyuan's future, so naturally she can only plan carefully."
"That's true."
Zhang Hong sighed,
"Sometimes, I'm quite envious of you, little brother Lu, who are alone and don't have the pressure to support a family."
"You can live as you want. You don't have to argue about trivial matters, and you don't have to worry about whether the child can grow up healthily and smoothly. You don't have to think about what kind of exercises he will practice or what sect he can enter in the future."
"How comfortable!"
"If Brother Zhang really becomes like me, he will probably think about how happy it would be to have a wife and children on the kang."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"You kid, you know so much at such a young age."
Zhang Hong just sighed casually, laughed, and changed the subject.
"I've come to look for you this time because I want to tell you something."
"I learned from other sources that the Wang family, a large family in Fang City, accidentally got information about a secret realm, but the secret realm is far away in the wilderness, so after a while, hundreds of thousands of monks above the second floor of Qi training will be recruited, Go to open up the secret realm."
"See if you have any ideas. If so, you can prepare early."
"Creating a secret realm?" Lu Xuan muttered, lost in thought.
"I will go over this time to take a look. The new secret realm appears. Although the risks are not small, the benefits will also be proportional to the risks. I have been staying in the square city to grow spiritual plants, and the normal expenses of the family are difficult to maintain."
"As for you, little brother Lu, I personally recommend you to take a look. After all, there are foundation-builder monks from the Wang family rushing to the front, and those powerful monsters are hard to come across with our strength."
"The most important thing is, brother Lu, you are still young. Although it is safe to be a spiritual planter, the resources you can obtain are limited, and your strength is slowly improved. After planting spiritual plants for a long time, your heart will be slowly worn away. It is rare. There is a step closer to sharpness."
Zhang Hong looked at Lu Xuan who was thinking with his head down, and suggested aloud.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. Indeed, what Zhang Hong said is very reasonable. Although there are certain risks in developing a secret realm, it is still within the controllable range, and the appearance of a new secret realm often means huge benefits, even if you It will take a long time to fully digest the leftovers.
If it was before, he might still have a chance of agreeing.
But now, with the appearance of the white light cluster, this slight possibility is gone.
The purpose of venturing out is nothing more than to obtain cultivation resources, and then come back to exchange for pills, exercises, magic tools, etc., but all of these can be obtained by staying at home and planting spiritual plants!
Higher security, higher income, and more fragrant farming!
He pretended to think for a while, with a tangled expression, finally raised his head, and said to Zhang Hong with apologetic eyes.
"Brother Zhang's kindness, I, Lu Xuanxin, accepted it. It's just that I've always been cautious and timid. In addition, my cultivation base is low, and I don't have any good spells. I'm afraid it's easy to go out and never return."
"So, I just want to stay at home, guard this small spiritual field, and grow spiritual plants quietly."
"As for the future, let's wait and see."
Seeing that Lu Xuan had made up his mind, Zhang Hong couldn't help but sigh.
"You are not wrong in your thinking. Although the risk of developing a secret realm is not great, it does not mean that there is no risk at all. If you omit a little bit, if it falls on our little Qi training monks, it may cost a few lives."
"It's just that I have to go for it. Xiaoyuan can't practice a wild way like me."
The two were silent for a while, Zhang Hong sat for a while, then got up to leave, and asked Lu Xuan to take care of his little boy.
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, watched Zhang Hong leave, and closed the courtyard gate.
"With the appearance of the white light group, try to avoid putting yourself in danger in the future."
"If you don't have 90% certainty..., no, 90% certainty is equivalent to zero certainty, and if you are not 100% sure, then don't go out and take risks at will."
Looking at the firefly grass and moon eclipse fruit beside the bluestone path, Lu Xuan felt full of energy.
