Chapter 229 - Demonic Ghost Vine

  Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the huge alien ghost vine with signs of collapse stopped instantly and slowly turned.

  Lu Xuan felt the hesitation in its heart and continued.

  "I believe you also know that my origin is the same as the cultivators who entered the medicine garden before. I am from the sect behind this blessed land."

  "But what makes me different from them is that I am kind and I don't just treat spiritual plants as tools for cultivation. I treat them equally, cultivate them carefully, and do my best to make them thrive."

  "That's why I can obtain this extremely rare and precious green wood source energy."

  His tone was sincere, and the light green spiritual power between his fingers continued to linger.

  "If you don't trust me enough, I can swear that I will treat the alien ghost vine seedlings you have nurtured well."

  Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the huge alien ghost vine that had been hesitating finally made up its mind.

  What Lu Xuan said was true. Even if the new alien ghost vines that were bred were upgraded in grade, they were still imprisoned in this world and were only the appendages of the sect behind the blessed land.

  If it is accidentally discovered by the Jindan Zhenren who is in charge of the blessed land, it may die.

  The green wood source energy transmitted by Lu Xuan made it feel close from the bottom of its heart, which is of great benefit to spiritual plants.

  Thinking of this, a thought extended from the depths of the giant black and blue vine.

  "Okay."

  Seeing it nod in agreement, Lu Xuan immediately made a vow to treat it well and carefully cultivate the seedlings of the alien ghost vine in the flower bud. As soon as

  the voice fell, many vines as thick as arms on the giant alien ghost vine emerged with dark spiritual light, and the spiritual light merged into small rivers and poured into the flower bud at the top. The flower bud

  regained stability and contracted and expanded like breathing. The light blue spiritual power gushing out of Lu Xuan's fingers became more and more, and he continued to cheer for the giant alien ghost vine.

  "Come on, come on! It's almost born! Come on!"

  More and more spiritual light emerged from the black and blue vines, and the streams merged into rivers, all flowing into the flower bud.

  "When I solved the birth problems of the spiritual crane and the Yin-Yang Kun fish before, I was just giving advice, but now I am helping with the birth."

  "I have consolidated my title as the master of the animal family."

  Lu Xuan sighed secretly.

  After a while, the vines on the giant alien ghost vine plant became shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, pieces of things like dry bark fell off.

  A faint but vigorous thought came from the bud, and then the petals that had turned black and green bloomed one by one, and a small snake-like vine coiled up and lay quietly in the center.

  The vine was gray and inconspicuous, far from the hideous and terrifying form of the mother.

  The moment it appeared, the huge alien ghost vine, which was several feet high, dried up and shattered at a speed that accelerated ten times, like the last moment of an avalanche, and it was all broken and weathered in the blink of an eye.

  Only one vine barely supported the fully bloomed bud and sent it to Lu Xuan.

  Then, the vine circled around the new alien ghost vine seedling, and quickly disintegrated from bottom to top.

  At the last moment of collapse, Lu Xuan felt a strong expectation and hope from the depths of its heart.

  After the giant ghost vine completely disappeared, the small vine lying quietly in the flower bud instantly came to life, and a light gray tentacle stretched out from it, as if experiencing and observing the world in front of it.

  "Follow me in the future, I will take you to the big sect to see the world."

  Lu Xuan smiled and stretched out his right hand to the light gray small vine.

  The gray vine sensed a familiar spiritual energy from Lu Xuan, climbing up along his palm and entering his wide cuffs.

  In the end, only a small part of the body was left outside.   

  "Eat some spiritual fruit first."

  Lu Xuan took out a spiritual fruit from the storage bag and placed it in front of one end of the light gray vine.

  Feeling the tempting fragrance of the spiritual fruit, the light gray vine nailed the middle of the spiritual fruit without hesitation.

  No one knew how it swallowed it, but in a few breaths, the spiritual fruit was swallowed up completely, including the skin and core.

  Lu Xuan's mind was focused on the light gray vine, which was still unsatisfied, and a thought flashed through his mind.

  [Demon Ghost Vine, a fifth-grade demon-transformed spiritual plant, evolved from the essence of generations of alien ghost vines. It likes to eat spiritual seeds, various parts of spiritual plants, and demon beast meat. It has an extremely keen sense of spiritual seeds. ]

  [Proficient in various wood-related magic, extremely aggressive. ]

  [Not of my kind, its taste must be fresh. ]

  "Fifth-grade demon-transformed spiritual plant!"

  The thought that appeared in his mind was beyond Lu Xuan's expectation.

  He didn't expect that the alien ghost vine, which was originally a fourth-grade spiritual plant, would actually derive a higher-grade demon-transformed spiritual plant.

  "After using my life's spiritual energy and essence, I finally made it through the ranks. If there are spirits in the afterlife, they would be very pleased."

  Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh. He guessed that the Qingmu Yuanqi he transmitted also played a big role in his ability to cross the fourth rank to the fifth rank.

  After all, it was the life essence condensed from the fifth rank Qingxuan Deer before its death, which has many benefits for spiritual plants.

  "Demon Ghost Vine, even the name has changed."

  Lu Xuan looked at the small section of light gray vines that emerged from his sleeves, and was satisfied.

  Although this is a demon-transformed spiritual plant, and its habits are similar to those of ordinary demon beasts, it is his first fifth-rank spiritual plant that is completely unique to him. The

  Holy Infant Fruit he got before was also fifth-rank, but it was only a sub-plant, and most of the ownership was still in the hands of the monk behind the scenes.

  "Okay, you should have seen everything that just happened clearly."

  "The new life derived from your leader has been handed over to me for care. I will take it away from this medicine garden and go to another world."

  "If you want to leave together, I will take you along the way. If you still want to stay in this medicine garden, I won't force you."

  Lu Xuan sent a thought to the remaining ghost vine plants.

  He was in a good mood after getting a fifth-grade demon-transformed spiritual plant. He gave two choices to its kind.

  If you want to leave the medicine garden, you can take it away without any damage and put it on the sect mountain or in the courtyard of Jianmen Town.

  With the life bag, you don't have to worry about their vitality dying on the way.

  However, these ghost vines did not appreciate Lu Xuan's kindness. They drilled into the spiritual soil silently and soon disappeared from Lu Xuan's sight.

  Lu Xuan did not force them. If they were seedlings, he would consider whether to kidnap them and cultivate them to maturity to get the light ball reward, but those were already in a mature state. If they were cultivated and raised, they would not get the light ball. Naturally, their value in his mind was much lower.

  He held the demon vine seedling hidden in his sleeve and rushed to the other side of the medicine garden.

  After a moment, the light gray vine emerged from his sleeve and stretched towards the left front of Lu Xuan, looking eager to try.

  "You mean, there are high-quality spiritual seeds ahead?"

  Lu Xuan asked the demon vine seedling with doubt.
