Chapter 40 Phantom Smoke Luo Fruit_1

Here's the translation based on your detailed instructions:

---

After rewarding the Cloud Leopard civet, Lu Xuan retrieved a special spiritual seed resembling smoke from his storage bag.

He selected an empty area in the spirit field and used the Earth Pulling Technique. The cracks in the spirit soil widened just enough to accommodate the smoke-like spiritual seed.

Soon, he focused his mind on the seed within the soil.

A thought appeared in his mind.

"The Phantom Smoke Fruit, a third-grade spiritual plant. The fruit produced upon maturity can accelerate the cultivation speed of illusion techniques and enhance the power of formula methods."

"It can also be used to feed beasts with related abilities or refine certain special elixirs."

"During its growth, the spiritual plant may continually emit smoke. Over time, it might accumulate enough to create a low-level illusion realm, making its location hard to discern."

"I'm right in front of you; why can't you find me?"
