Chapter 228 - Out of This World

  The Xunlei Sword Ball in the Dantian rotated at a high speed, and countless fine sword beams shot out from the sword ball.

  Seeing that the Xunlei Sword Ball was gradually getting smaller, those blue-black vines continued to attack him frantically.

  Lu Xuan's spiritual power was running, and more than 20 Qingmu Yuanqi drilled out from the Dantian and entangled the more than 20 demon mutant ghost vines closest to him. A

  shrill scream sounded, and these alien ghost vines controlled by the Qingmu Yuanqi turned against their own side and attacked their companions frantically.

  Lu Xuan's pressure was relieved a lot, and he didn't care about saving Qingmu Yuanqi. More than ten light blue spiritual powers shot out and entangled the demon mutant ghost vines that attacked him.

  Just now, they were partners fighting together, but in a blink of an eye, they aimed their attacks at him. This made the demon mutant ghost vines with simple spiritual intelligence unable to react. Lu Xuan seized the opportunity and killed many of them in a few breaths.

  The effect was obvious, but the consumption rate of Qingmu Yuanqi was also very fast. In such a short time, nearly half of it was lost.

  "Woo woo woo ..."

  Lu Xuan suddenly heard a faint whimpering sound in his ears, mixed with strong pain.

  Soon, all the blue-black vines seemed to have received some instructions and instantly retracted underground. The mountain ghost-like alien ghost vines gathered again in front of the extremely huge companion and sent out bursts of shrill wails towards Lu Xuan.

  Seeing this, Lu Xuan did not pursue the victory. The black sword light slowly rotated around his body, and the breeze was not dry. It was no longer as violent as before.

  In a short period of time, although hundreds of alien ghost vines were killed or injured, his consumption was not small. Whether it was Xunlei Sword Pill or Qingmu Yuanqi in Dantian, there was a lot of loss.

  Standing quietly for a long time, the huge alien ghost vine did not move at all, and the top flower bud contracted and expanded more violently, as if something was about to come out.

  A light green spiritual energy slowly approached the huge alien ghost vine.

  It seemed that it felt that the Qingmu Yuanqi was beneficial to itself and harmless, and it seemed that it was unable to respond to Lu Xuan's actions. The light green spiritual power drilled into the body of the huge alien ghost vine very smoothly.

  As Lu Xuan's mind was focused, a thought emerged from his mind, and fragments of the picture passed by like a flash.

  [The alien ghost vine, a fourth-grade demon-transformed spiritual plant. ]

  [In a weak state, it is using its own blood essence, spirituality, and the flesh and blood of many monsters as nutrients to try to breed a higher-grade demon-transformed ghost vine. ]

  The picture flashed, and Lu Xuan saw the long history of the alien ghost vine.

  At first, it grew with other spiritual plants in the medicine garden of this ancient monk. No one cultivated and cared for it for a long time. In order to ensure its reproduction, a small number of alien ghost vines with a certain aggressiveness entered the demon transformation state, and their spiritual intelligence increased greatly, turning into demon plants similar to monsters, which could actively attack and devour other spiritual plants and even monsters.

  Slowly, the number of alien ghost vines that evolved into demon-transformed plants increased, and gradually they divided up other spiritual plants in the medicine garden to ensure the continuation of their own race. The

  demon-transformed spiritual plants could not reproduce normally, so ordinary alien ghost vines grew, matured, and condensed seeds under the protection of the demon-transformed plants, and this cycle repeated.

  After a long time, the two reached a wonderful balance.

  Suddenly, a powerful monk entered the medicine garden and encountered a demon mutated ghost vine. He killed it directly, while the ordinary ghost vine was cut and picked.

  After the monk left, although the ghost vine tribe suffered a big blow, they were still able to live well in the medicine garden and still had the hope of continuing the tribe.

  But the good days did not last long. More than ten years later, another monk entered the medicine garden. He was so powerful that even if he was attacked by a demon mutated ghost vine disguised as a normal one, he could still kill it easily and repeat the previous cutting and picking behavior.

  In this way, the constantly iterating ghost vines in the medicine garden were like one batch of leeks after another. Every once in a while, a monk would enter the medicine garden and harvest a round of ghost vines.   

  The entire medicine garden was like their back garden, where they could take whatever they wanted. The ghost vines in the medicine garden were like being kept in captivity by the monks, and their life and death were all in their hands.

  Slowly, the demon mutated ghost vines, which had a certain level of intelligence, had a vague idea of ​​leaving this world and regaining freedom. They kept attacking the monsters that entered the medicine garden, actively trying to improve their strength, and finally found the possibility of letting the demon mutated ghost vines reproduce.

  They absorbed enough monster blood as nutrients, and with their own blood and spirituality as the guide, they condensed a new demon mutated ghost vine seedling.

  In this way, with the power of the entire ghost vine clan, in the depths of the medicine garden, there was a ghost vine with a strong instinct that was born with it, which continued to reproduce and evolve.

  Because it has a very strong camouflage ability, as long as it does not actively sneak attack the monks who come in, it will not be noticed.

  In addition, there are fewer and fewer Tianjian Sect monks entering the medicine garden. Occasionally, when they come to the central area, the other demon mutated ghost vines have already sent messages in time and hid deep underground.

  When Lu Xuan came in, he happened to encounter the critical stage of the breeding of the huge ghost vine.

  "So that's how it came about."

  Lu Xuan digested the fragments of the picture in his mind and took a deep breath.

  Perhaps it was the special breeding method of this demon-mutated ghost vine from generation to generation, coupled with the instinct engraved deep in its blood, that allowed Lu Xuan to not only simply understand its relevant information, but also see fragments of the picture, tracing back to ancient times.

  "To put it simply, the strange ghost vines in the medicine garden tried hard to kill other spiritual plants competing for spiritual power in order to continue.

  Then, the elders of the sect discovered this blessed land, and these demon-mutated ghost vines were completely reduced to leeks. In order to escape this fate, they secretly reproduced and evolved."

  Lu Xuan sorted out the content of the picture.

  "If the fourth-grade demon-mutated ghost vine can really go further, there may be a slight possibility."

  "Of course, the possibility is really very small. Even if it becomes a fifth-grade demon plant, it cannot break through the confinement of the blessed land. For the Jindan Zhenren who is in charge of the blessed land, it may not be as good as an ordinary fifth-grade demon beast."

  Lu Xuan muttered to himself.

  He admired what these demon-mutated ghost vines did, but he did not have any optimistic ideas.

  If you can easily cross it just by hard work, then what class is that? When

  the giant alien ghost vine heard Lu Xuan's words, the thick vine body kept shaking, like a drowning person who had been struggling for a long time, lost hope of life, and relaxed powerlessly, falling continuously.

  The flower bud at the top showed signs of faintly cracking.

  Lu Xuan sighed softly, and a light green spiritual power surged out of his fingertips. The spiritual power was vigorous and seemed to be able to nurture all living things, including hope.

  His fingertips lightly touched the thick vine of the alien ghost vine, and a green light flashed, pouring into the pale green flower bud at the top, and an extremely pleasant subtle voice came from it.

  "Believe me, give me the alien ghost vine seedling nurtured in the flower bud, and I will lead it out of this world."

  Lu Xuan raised the corners of his mouth and said softly.
