Chapter 177 - Unorthodox Spiritual Peach, If You Can't Beat Them, Then Join Them

  "Junior Brother Lu, are you sure you want to choose this third-grade Immortal Peach?"

  The old farmer monk asked Lu Xuan.

  "Senior Brother, I wonder what mysteries are hidden in this Immortal Peach spiritual plant? Can you explain it to me?"

  Lu Xuan asked in a deep voice.

  "For some reason, I know a little about this third-grade Immortal Peach."

  "It is said that in the growth stage, spiritual plants continuously release a special aura, which can stimulate the seven emotions and six desires in the cultivator's heart, especially lust."

  "This goes against the authentic practice of our famous sects. When practicing, cultivators need to abandon their inner desires and keep their minds clear and free from desires. Only in this way can they maintain a good state of practice."

  "If the state of mind is affected, the progress of practice will be slowed down. In severe cases, it will even breed inner demons and make it easy for evil spirits to invade."

  "For sect cultivators, practice is the right way, and spiritual plants are only auxiliary. Therefore, few cultivators are willing to plant this Immortal Peach. Only those demon cultivators with willful minds, especially those who are good at dual cultivation techniques, will plant more."

  "I heard that there are several world-famous brothels in the practice world, and Immortal Peaches are planted everywhere in them to help emotions."

  The old farmer cultivator leaned close to Lu Xuan's ear, covered his mouth, and whispered.

  After he finished speaking, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. He carefully looked around and came closer again.

  "Junior Brother Lu, you have just entered the sect not long ago, and there are some things in the sect that you are not clear enough about. There is an interesting story about this fairy peach."

  "It is rumored that many years ago, there were two foundation-building uncles in the sect, one male and one female. They were discussing things under a large forest of fairy peaches planted by one of them. As a result, under the aphrodisiac effect of the spiritual plants, they could not help but have some shady things happen..."

  "Oh?"

  Lu Xuan's eyes lit up immediately. Regardless of strength or status, people are always curious about gossip, especially those about the superiors.

  When he heard the two keywords "foundation-building uncle" and "shady things", the genes deep in Lu Xuan's heart were naturally triggered.

  "Brother, I have finished cultivating the spiritual plants this morning. I have plenty of time. You can tell me in detail about the affair."

  "The two uncles were so hot-tempered that they used the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, and the prelude to the war began..."

  "...When the battle was at its most intense, guess what, the Taoist partner of the male uncle rushed over, and in a rage, they tore each other's faces."

  "But two fists were no match for four hands, and they were subdued by the two of them. Guess what happened?"

  "The Taoist partner of the foundation-building uncle was killed by the two of them?" Lu Xuan asked subconsciously.

  "No, the uncle who was controlled couldn't help but join in the long-term influence of the aura of the enchanting peach, and it became a big melee..."

  "Hiss!"

  "Is this what they call...join if you can't beat them?"

  Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and eased his mood.

  "Brother, I have nothing to do this afternoon, so you can start the big fight again."

  "..."

  "After such a big fight, the sect directly sent the three uncles to the extremely remote and bitter cold secret realm. I don't know what is happening now. Only their deeds will be passed down in the sect forever."

  The old farmer monk concluded.

  "This enchanting fairy peach is something."

  After listening to the end, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sighed and sighed.

  "But brother, I usually practice barely, and my mind is more spent on planting spiritual plants, so this enchanting fairy peach doesn't have a big impact on me. It's rare to encounter such an interesting spiritual plant, so I still want to try planting it."   

  "Okay, since you have made your choice, I will not say more. If the number of Immortal Peaches is limited, the impact will not be very big. You just need to pay more attention to it."

  "How many spirit stones does the Immortal Peaches cost per seed?"

  Lu Xuan asked the old farmer monk.

  "Immortal Peaches are periodic spirit plants. During their life cycle, you can repeatedly pick spirit fruits, so the price is slightly more expensive than other ordinary third-grade spirit plants. Each spirit seed requires 320 spirit stones."

  "Then please help me get three Immortal Peaches."

  Lu Xuan took out 960 spirit stones from his storage bag.

  Although the consumption is huge, it comes from fellow disciples in Qianlong Lake anyway, so I don't feel bad about spending it.

  When the old farmer monk went to receive the Immortal Peaches, Lu Xuan continued to flip through the jade book in his hand.

  On the jade book, there are not many third-grade spirit seeds or spirit plant seedlings that can be purchased with spirit stones, and most of them are still out of stock.

  He roughly looked through it and didn't find the spirit seeds he liked, so he picked up another jade book of second-grade spirit plants that could be purchased with spirit stones.

  There are many more types of spiritual plants in this jade book. He found four kinds of spiritual fruits in stock. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to choose one of the spiritual fruit-type spiritual plants he had seen before, the Fiery Fruit.

  Previously, he received a task related to the Fiery Fruit in the General Affairs Hall, helping a round-faced female cultivator solve the growth problem of a mutated Fiery Fruit, so he had a certain understanding of it.

  "Three third-grade Mi Xian Peaches, plus some Fiery Fruits, are almost enough."

  "The area of ​​the cave mansion's spiritual field is limited. Planting so many second-grade and third-grade spiritual plants, the spiritual power is just barely enough. After the cultivation breaks through to the foundation building, I have an independent mountain and abundant spiritual power, and then consider planting more spiritual plants."

  Lu Xuan said secretly in his heart.

  "Junior Brother Lu, this is the Mi Xian Peach spiritual seed. You must keep it well and plant it as soon as possible to avoid losing vitality and affecting its growth."

  After a while, the old farmer cultivator came out with a white jade box. There was a talisman on the outside of the box. Based on Lu Xuan's understanding of basic talismans, it seemed to be a rune of the purity type.

  He carefully opened the jade box, which contained three fist-sized peach pits. The peach pits had dense grooves and were light red. There were faint wisps of pink smoke flowing between the grooves, stirring the heartstrings of the cultivator.

  "Thank you, senior brother. In addition, please tell me how many spiritual stones are needed for each of these flaming fruit spirit seeds?"

  "Second-grade spiritual plant flaming fruit? Fifty-five spiritual stones each. How many do you need, junior brother Lu?"

  "Give me ten."

  Lu Xuan took out five hundred and fifty spiritual stones and said with a smile.

  "So many? Junior brother Lu really spared no effort in cultivating spiritual plants."

  "With such a strong talent and so hard work in cultivating spiritual plants, no wonder the hall master values ​​it."

  The old farmer cultivator couldn't help but be amazed. In his impression, Lu Xuan had exchanged many second-grade and third-grade spiritual plants from the Sinong Hall, which were far beyond the level of comments cultivated by ordinary Qi training spiritual plant masters.

  He accepted the spiritual stones, sighed, and entered the inner hall of the Sinong Hall to get the spiritual seeds for Lu Xuan.

  "Ten Fiery Fruit Spiritual Seeds, Junior Brother Lu, please have a look."

  The storage of the second-grade Fiery Fruit Spiritual Seeds is naturally much simpler than that of the third-grade Enchanting Immortal Peaches. Soon, the old farmer monk came out of the inner hall and handed Lu Xuan ten spiritual seeds that burned like blazing fire.

  Lu Xuan bowed and thanked, and returned to the cave with the Enchanting Immortal Peaches and Fiery Fruit Spiritual Seeds.
