Chapter 373

  The first time he saw this strange spiritual plant, Lu Xuan instantly remembered the fifth-grade demon ghost vine he owned.

  The two have certain similarities, both of which are extremely aggressive, but the demon ghost vine may be of a higher grade, showing a certain degree of intelligence, while the attacking behavior of this spiritual plant is more like instinct.

  "Brother Ge, where did you get this strange spiritual plant?"

  Lu Xuan asked curiously.

  "Recently, our sect has joined forces with several other sects to open up a newly discovered blessed land, and a large number of such spiritual plants were found in that blessed land."

  Ge Pu replied simply.

  Lu Xuan nodded and looked at it carefully.

  "Strange, although this spiritual plant is very aggressive, there is no evil aura found on the plant."

  He has planted many varieties of spiritual plants over the years.

  Among them, a few are very aggressive, such as the sword-raising gourds and sword grasses of various grades planted in the cave at this time, but they are all passive attacks and need to be controlled and used by cultivators.

  In addition, there are several underworld spiritual plants that are actively aggressive, such as the mature hundred-eyed strange wood, the blood spirit palm participating in the holy infant fruit in the cultivation stage.

  Although the spiritual plant in front of him was also aggressive, no evil aura could be sensed in the plant.

  The Immaculate Jade on Lu Xuan's neck did not move, and there was no abnormality when he used the Purifying Talisman, Exorcism Talisman and other magic talismans to test it.

  "I brought this strange spiritual plant here because I want you, Junior Brother Lu, to study it and see if you can find anything."

  "There are a lot of such spiritual plants in the blessed land. If we can find out their origins, perhaps the fellow disciples in the blessed land will be much easier."

  Ge Pu said slowly.

  Although Lu Xuan is not well-known in the Tianjian Sect and is very low-key, in the eyes of some people who are familiar with him in the sect, they know that he has a very deep attainment in the way of spiritual plants.

  Along the way, he solved several major issues related to spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, and even left a deep impression in front of two Jindan elders.

  Although his cultivation is only at the foundation-building level, in terms of understanding of spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, the Jindan elders and true disciples in the sect may not be better than him.

  "Okay, then I'll try and see if I can find anything from this strange spiritual plant."

  Hearing this, Lu Xuan nodded without hesitation and took the strange spiritual plant from Ge Pu's hand.

  "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Lu. If you find anything, please contact me at any time."

  Seeing this, Ge Pu nodded with satisfaction and told Lu Xuan a sentence. A black and white Tai Chi pattern emerged behind him, rotating and enlarging rapidly. Together with Zhong Jingshan, he entered the pattern and disappeared in an instant.

  Lu Xuan watched the two leave and returned his attention to the strange spiritual plant in his hand.

  "The spiritual plant obtained from the blessed land..."

  He sighed in a low voice.

  There are all kinds of secret realms in the cultivation world, but very few have reached the level of blessed land.

  Blessed lands often exist in various extremely dangerous places, even in the void, and are extremely difficult to find.

  The Tianjian Sect is in charge of three blessed lands. Lu Xuan has entered one of them, namely the Langyue Blessed Land, and obtained the fifth-grade demon ghost vine, the fourth-grade soul pine, and the sixth-grade Phoenix tree from it. It can be said that he has gained a lot.

  According to what Ge Pu said just now, the blessed land where this spiritual plant is located was recently discovered by the sect, and is being explored and developed in conjunction with other sects. It is believed that many rare treasures can be found from it.

  Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's heart was hot for a while, and then he immediately cooled down and regained his rationality.

  Although the new blessed land means a lot of opportunities and treasures, it also contains unknown dangers, so there are elders who have reached the Jindan stage to lead the team as a guarantee.

  With his current cultivation, it is better not to worry too much.   

  "If I can study the origin of this spiritual plant, I may be able to make great contributions and get rewards from the sect."

  He thought to himself, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his fingers.

  Looking down, he found that the crack on the trunk of the spiritual plant in his hand had swallowed one of his fingers. The saw teeth on the edge kept biting him, and a huge suction force came from the inside of the trunk.

  "The little thing is quite good at biting."

  Lu Xuan let the strange spiritual plant bite his fingers.

  He practiced the two body-refining exercises of "Glass Bone Forging Method" and "Taixu Transformation into Dragon Chapter", and took rare spiritual fruits such as Jade Scale Fruit and Golden Marrow Jade Liquid to strengthen his body. The hardness of his body is no worse than some third-grade magic tools. The biting of the strange spiritual plant is not much different from tickling him.

  He looked at the strange spiritual plant full of cracks, and a bad taste arose in his heart. He pounded his fingers into the trunk and stirred it wantonly.

  When he pulled out his fingers, all the saw teeth on the cracks fell off and fell to the ground.

  After his disturbance, the strange spiritual plant realized how powerful it was. Even when Lu Xuan moved his finger closer, the cracks on the tree trunk did not react at all.

  "Although it doesn't seem to have much intelligence, it still has the most basic instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm."

  Lu Xuan made a comment and continued to observe the strange spiritual plant in his hand that had become honest.

  Looking around, apart from the unusual aggressiveness, there was nothing new to discover.

  "When you are in doubt, you can feed it something."

  "Whether it is a spiritual plant or a monster, or half spiritual plant and half monster, just feed it something and it will be exposed in front of me~"

  Lu Xuan thought to himself, and the spiritual power in his body surged. The clouds above the spiritual plant changed, and a spiritual rain spell was like a slender waterfall, accurately pouring on the trunk and branches of the spiritual plant.

  After the strange spiritual plant absorbed it, his mind focused on the plant, and suddenly a thought came to his mind.

  [Unknown spiritual plant, third grade, formerly the third grade dragon pattern wood, after being affected by the unknown powerful flesh and blood for a long time, it gradually mutated into a new spiritual plant variety. ]

  [Thus, it has a stronger vitality and is aggressive, which can pose a great threat to cultivators below the foundation building stage. ]

  [It can be used to refine pills to improve the physical body. After proper treatment, it can also assist in practicing certain body-building exercises. ]

  "The mutated spiritual plant, formerly the third-grade dragon-patterned wood..."

  Lu Xuan had seen the third-grade dragon-patterned wood in a certain book in the Sutra Library. It was extremely hard and was a top-grade material for refining magic tools and flying swords.

  However, according to the records in the book, it was very different from the spiritual plant in his hand in terms of form, which could be said to be completely unrelated.

  "What kind of blood and flesh breath can transform a third-grade spiritual plant into this appearance?"

  Lu Xuan muttered to himself.

  Although he already had a general understanding of the strange spiritual plant in front of him, he decided to study it for some more time.

  Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous if Ge Pu told him about the spiritual plant right after he left.

  But he didn't mind showing off his "talent" in the spiritual plant, but he didn't want to be in the limelight either, and was only willing to make a fortune in silence.

  "Now that we know the origin of the spiritual plant, the next thing to do is to observe its habits, preferences, etc., to see if we can find the best way to deal with it."

  Lu Xuan thought to himself. I

  　'm stuck in writing, so if there is no second update later, I'll make it up tomorrow.
