Chapter 137 - Invitation

  "Junior Brother Lu, are you there?"

  One day, when Lu Xuan was cultivating spiritual plants, a voice called out from outside the courtyard gate.

  "It turned out to be Senior Sister Yao. I haven't seen you for a while. You look even more charming."

  Lu Xuan opened the courtyard gate and saw a beautiful woman standing at the door. She was the manager of the medicine garden where he worked when he first accepted the task of cultivating monkey orchid.

  "Junior Brother Lu, you are too polite."

  The beautiful woman followed Lu Xuan into the courtyard, looked around, and felt the vitality under the light mist, and praised.

  "It seems that Junior Brother Lu has planted a lot of rare spiritual plants. Such vigorous vitality can't be blocked by the formation."

  Although she said this, she had a good sense of propriety and did not ask to go to the spiritual field to check.

  "Senior Sister, you are too kind. I wonder if Senior Sister Yao has something to do this time?"

  Lu Xuan asked curiously.

  "I do have something to ask you, and it's a good thing."

  The beautiful woman smiled and continued.

  "It's like this. Am I not managing a medicine garden for my uncle who is building the foundation? That uncle has many industries outside the sect. Recently, a spiritual plant garden under his management has been infested with insects, and the root cause of the infestation has not been solved for a long time."

  "My uncle asked me to solve it. I am not capable of doing it alone, so I want to invite Junior Brother Lu to go with me."

  The beautiful woman was impressed by Lu Xuan. During his cultivation of monkey orchids, he was able to find out the secrets based on the changes in the monkey orchid's expression and make corresponding adjustments, so that the overall quality of the monkey orchid was improved. She was very proud of this in front of the uncle who was building the foundation.

  After accepting such a task, she thought of Lu Xuan the first time. First, she knew that Lu Xuan had a very deep attainment in the spiritual plant. If she invited him, it would be more likely to solve the spiritual plant pest problem.

  Second, she wanted to do a favor. This task was simple and the reward was generous, which could be regarded as a welfare task.

  "Senior Sister Yao, I usually neglect my cultivation, my cultivation is average, and I am not good at fighting. I only have some talent in cultivating spiritual plants, so I can only say sorry."

  Lu Xuan smiled and refused.

  "But, Junior Brother Lu..."

  The beautiful woman paused, and a strange look appeared in her eyes.

  "I invited a spiritual plant master..."

  ...

  "I was careless. I refused the invitation of a cultivator directly. I didn't even notice that the person invited by Senior Sister Yao happened to be a spiritual plant master..."

  Lu Xuan thought to himself, and the scene fell into silence for a while.

  "Junior Brother Lu mentioned cultivation and fighting experience. Are you worried about the possibility of encountering danger?"

  "You can rest assured about this. The spiritual plant production area is only a few hundred miles away from the sect. There are no demon beasts or evil cultivators hiding on the road. I also asked for a third-grade magic weapon from my uncle. It is top-notch in terms of speed and protection." "As for the spiritual plant production area

  , most of them are some low-level and middle-level cultivators who practice Qi. There are very few high-level cultivators who practice Qi. Junior Brother, you can rest assured about this."

  The beautiful woman seemed to see Lu Xuan's cautious principle of doing things and said softly.

  "A journey of several hundred miles is indeed nothing, but, Senior Sister Yao, why didn't the foundation-building uncle plant them in the sect?"

  "The main reason is that the demand for those spiritual plants is too great. If they are planted in the sect, a large area of ​​spiritual fields is needed, and the growing environment may not be conducive to the growth of spiritual plants."

  "Therefore, the uncle outsourced those spiritual plants to cultivators from small families. Those cultivators are descendants of outer disciples or inner disciples of the sect, and are trustworthy."

  The beautiful woman explained to Lu Xuan in detail.

  Lu Xuan nodded, indicating that he understood.   

  What Senior Sister Yao said dispelled his confusion about safety. Considering that this was the property of the foundation-building master uncle in the sect, Lu Xuan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

  "Then please take care of me on the way, Senior Sister Yao."

  "That's what I should do."

  "With my cultivation level, I can naturally move freely among a group of low-level and middle-level Qi training cultivators. With the ability to cultivate spiritual plants, I should be the one to take care of you!"

  A hint of joy appeared on the beautiful woman's face. With the addition of Lu Xuan, who is good at cultivating spiritual plants, the confidence in solving the root cause of the pests has increased a little.

  She told Lu Xuan the departure time and some preparations, and then said goodbye and left.

  Two days later, a shuttle-shaped flying boat landed on the bluestone square of Jianmen Town.

  Lu Xuan, the beautiful woman, and an ordinary young man at the ninth level of Qi training jumped off the flying boat.

  "Two junior brothers, the three of us will stay in Jianmen Town for a while, each making supplies, and meet under the stone sword half a day later."

  Lu Xuan couldn't ask for this, nodded in agreement, and strolled around Jianmen Town alone.

  Half an hour later, he entered the small courtyard with the materials he had bought. After

  opening the formation, before entering the spiritual field, Lu Xuan felt the cold wind, and the remaining ten resentful souls were floating around in the yard, making a series of shrill roars.

  When he left last time, he released fifty resentful ghosts from the resentful soul bell. This time, there were only ten left.

  "These five ghost-faced stone mushrooms have a big appetite."

  Lu Xuan sighed and walked to the ghost-faced stone mushrooms.

  After absorbing seven or eight resentful ghosts, the size of the ghost-faced stone mushrooms did not change much, but the strange patterns on the surface were brighter and more vivid.

  He took out the resentful soul bell from the storage bag and released another fifty resentful ghosts on the inner wall.

  Suddenly, the small courtyard was filled with yin energy, and the temperature dropped a lot in an instant.

  Lu Xuan came to the thorn bone. After absorbing the bones of the monster, the slender white bones became more white and cold, and some small bone spurs grew on both sides of the bones.

  With a loud bang, the huge skeleton of the Barbarian Armored Bull fell around the thorn bone. Lu Xuan deliberately controlled it and used the blank area in the middle of the skeleton to surround the thorn bone so that it could get sufficient nourishment and warming.

  After cultivating the ghost-faced stone mushroom and thorn bone for a while, Lu Xuan took out the fourth-grade Hundred-eyed Strange Wood spiritual plant from the life bag and planted it in the spiritual field.

  Then, he took out a monster body whose blood had not yet been drained. This was bought from a stall in the town to meet the growth needs of the Hundred-eyed Strange Wood.

  Lu Xuan used the fragments of the silver blade to dig out the monster's pupil and gently placed it on the old bark of the Hundred-eyed Strange Wood.

  Not long after, the half-closed pupil closest to the monster's pupil quietly opened a little, and a nearly transparent small tentacle quickly drilled out from the pupil gap, like a gecko's tongue, quickly pulling the monster's pupil over.

  The monster's pupil seemed to be nailed, and it stopped on the half-closed pupil without moving.

  Lu Xuan concentrated his mind and felt the satisfaction from the Hundred Eyes Weird Tree, which made him feel relieved.

  "After coming here, the spiritual field has obviously become much darker."

  In the small courtyard, dozens of ghosts and resentful spirits wandered aimlessly, but they were completely unable to escape from the shrouded formation.

  The huge monster skeletons were like a hill, and thorn bones were looming in it.

  In addition, there was a new Hundred Eyes Weird Tree with strange pupils, and the bloody monster pupils were still on the old bark.

  All of this made the courtyard even more gloomy and evil.
