Chapter 225 - The Ghost Vine in the Medicine Garden

  "Junior Brother Lu, we have arrived at the ancient temple of the blessed land."

  Liu Su's fair face looked at the majestic ancient temple in front of him, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

  "Yeah."

  Lu Xuan nodded gently. After emptying the nest of the two-headed armadillo monster, he headed straight to the center of the blessed land at a very fast speed.

  During the period, he encountered some blind monsters, which he easily solved.

  When he was about to arrive at the ancient temple, he unexpectedly met Liu Su, and the two of them went together to take care of each other.

  The ancient temple in front of him is located in the center of the blessed land. It is the main target of many Tianjian Sect monks who enter the blessed land.

  Various rare treasures, high-grade magic tools, exercises, elixirs, etc., and even occasionally fifth-grade treasures appear.

  However, entering the center of the ancient temple requires passing through many formations and restrictions, and it is difficult for ordinary inner disciples to pass those tests smoothly.

  Only those with strong family backgrounds and talents will be taught by their elders and masters and given magic tools to break the ban.

  Lu Xuan and his companions only knew about the ancient temple and its specific location. However, they came here to try their luck with a fluke mentality.

  Treasures are for those who are destined to get them.

  After entering the ancient temple, the two of them shuttled through it at a high speed.

  The ancient temple was vast, and the ground and walls were made of unknown materials. It was as if the spiritual consciousness was sinking into the sea and encountered great obstacles.

  "Medicine Garden..."

  When passing a side hall, Lu Xuan couldn't help but stop.

  On the bronze main door of the side hall, there was a plaque with two large characters with ancient charm written on it.

  "Junior Brother Lu, do you want to go into the ancient temple medicine garden to take a look?"

  Liu Su saw Lu Xuan's strange behavior and also stopped and asked curiously.

  "That's right."

  "I want to see what kind of spiritual plants the ancient cultivators might be cultivating."

  Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.

  "I heard from my senior brothers and sisters who entered the blessed land before that there are many spiritual plants in the medicine garden of the ancient temple, including some third-grade ones."

  "But it is said that there are a large number of mutated demonic plants inside. They look the same as ordinary spiritual plants, but if a cultivator or demon beast approaches, they will suddenly attack."

  "Because it is difficult to distinguish, many fellow disciples fell in the medicine garden and were seriously injured. In addition, there are third-grade spiritual plants everywhere in other areas of the blessed land, which are much safer than the medicine garden.

  Therefore, the number of fellow disciples entering the medicine garden has gradually decreased."

  "Really?"

  Lu Xuan looked at the two ancient characters on the plaque and said softly.

  He didn't know what he was thinking of, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at Liu Su.

  "Senior Sister Liu, you know me well."

  "I have a great interest in spiritual plants and animals, even more than cultivation. Since I have come to the medicine garden left by the ancient cultivators, I naturally have to observe and admire it."

  "As for how many opportunities I can get, that is secondary."

  "I didn't expect Junior Brother Lu to be so sincere in cultivating spiritual plants. In this case, we will part ways for the time being. Junior Brother, please be careful." Liu Su

  had no intention of entering the ancient medicine garden with Lu Xuan. She was more keen on exploring other areas of the ancient palace to obtain opportunities. Although she was amazed at Lu Xuan's determination for spiritual plants, she made a quick decision.

  "Take care, Senior Sister."

  Lu Xuan clasped his fists towards Liu Su and turned to enter the medicine garden.

  After entering, it seemed as if he had come to a new world.   

  The area of ​​the medicine garden is larger than Lu Xuan imagined. On the gray-black soil, there are scattered spiritual plants in the distance.

  Lu Xuan's mouth curled up. He chose to enter the medicine garden because he was indeed a little curious, but more importantly, he came to seek opportunities to see if he could find one or two spiritual seeds.

  In the entire blessed land, only here is the probability of spiritual seeds appearing the highest.

  Not all spiritual seeds will naturally grow into spiritual plants, or their vitality will continue to fade away and become waste seeds.

  There are also some spiritual seeds, especially high-grade varieties, because the surrounding environment does not meet its growth conditions or cultivation methods, they may enter a dormant state according to instinct, so as to slow down the loss of vitality in the spiritual seeds to the greatest extent, and wait for the right time to regenerate roots and sprout, and cultivate plants. The

  ghost-faced stone mushroom that Lu Xuan had previously obtained in the secret realm near Linyang Market was of this type. Only by crushing the resentment of the ghosts and ghosts could the dormant spiritual seeds be awakened and cultivated normally.

  He entered the medicine garden with this idea in mind.

  "Ordinary spiritual soil, nothing unusual."

  He squatted down, picked up a small ball of gray-black soil with his fingers, felt the spiritual power hidden in it, and said secretly in his heart.

  "That's right, if there is any special spiritual soil, it would have been scraped up by the fellow disciples who entered the medicine garden before, so how could it be my turn to collect it."

  Lu Xuan stood up and went deep into the medicine garden.

  Along the way, he found some scattered spiritual plants, but they were all low-level varieties, so there was no need to take the risk to pick them.

  If he picked them rashly, he might get into trouble and be attacked by the monster plants disguised as normal spiritual plants.

  As Lu Xuan continued to go deeper, the grades and varieties of spiritual plants were improved a lot, which made him, who had seen many third-grade spiritual plants, a little interested.

  When he was about to pick them, he suddenly felt a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from the front.

  Lu Xuan's mind moved, restrained his breath, and his figure was like a floating light, and in a few breaths he came to a place not far from the movement.

  I saw that three inner disciples were fighting fiercely with a strange spiritual plant.

  From time to time, tentacle-like dark green vines emerged from the ground. The vines were covered with sharp barbs, making extremely shrill whistles, bringing up gusts of fishy wind, and madly attacked the three monks.

  The three cooperated very well, and in an instant, they easily solved the strange spiritual plants.

  "Brother over there, why don't you come over and chat for a few words?"

  While clearing the vines, an ordinary-looking young man called in the direction of Lu Xuan.

  "Hello, brothers, I'm just passing by and want to see if I can find one or two spiritual plants in the medicine garden."

  "Are you alone?"

  The young man asked in surprise after scanning the spiritual sense.

  "If you are alone, you'd better be careful in this medicine garden. There are many demon plants here, which are very aggressive. If you are careless, you may fall into their trap."

  Seeing Lu Xuan nod, the young man advised.

  "Thank you for your reminder, brother. Are the strange spiritual plants that the brothers just solved the so-called demon plants?"

  Lu Xuan asked curiously, looking at the strange-shaped spiritual plants not far away.

  "Yes, that demon plant is called the Ghost Vine. It will disguise itself as a normal spiritual plant and attack the monks and monsters who want to pick them."

  "The three of us will work together. If we encounter a normal spiritual plant, we can pick it easily. If there is a mutant spiritual plant attacking, we can also easily solve it together. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better to have a stable harvest."

  The young man said patiently.

  "Isn't it just stepping on a landmine?"

  "Push the spiritual plants one by one, there is no technical content."

  Lu Xuan secretly commented, said goodbye to the three people, and continued to go deeper.
