After everyone discussed for a while, they still couldn't find an effective way, so they had no choice but to leave the Lingzhi Garden one after another.
"Cheng Ning, take me to find a dying water peach. I have some idea about these insects, but I still need to verify it."
After most people left, Lu Xuan said to the handsome young man who was still following him.
"Ah? Okay, Senior Lu!"
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Zhang Chengning, who was already frowning, showed joy and responded in a low voice.
He led Lu Xuan through the swamp, and after a while, he came to a water peach that was in a worrying state.
"There are already a large number of hollow parts inside the trunk of this spiritual plant, which has seriously affected its normal growth. The spiritual plant masters in the family tried their best to save it, and had to let it fend for itself."
Lu Xuan carefully inspected this water peach plant, and indeed as Zhang Chengning said, there were many hollow areas in the trunk, branches and leaves.
Without hesitation, he directly pulled out the seriously ill peach plant, pretended to observe it for a while, and then planted it into the mud.
After completing the [Planting] process, Lu Xuan focused his mind on the seriously ill Shui Ze Ling peach, and a piece of information suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Junior Brother Lu, please come in."
"This deworming technique is indeed effective. It can automatically gather the worms. Unfortunately, it only affects the adult worms and has little effect on the larvae that are still in a parasitic and simulated state."
"After taking this batch of worms, come here two or three more times, and you'll almost have them all."
Not long after the insect chirping, the branches and leaves of the peach trees in the surrounding water swayed. Branch-like branches of strange insects fell off the tree, slowly crawling in the swamp, and rushed towards the black shadow.
Lu Xuan opened the door, and Yao Qing was sitting on a wooden chair, looking at him with a smile.
"The method is not very difficult. It only requires a monk who is good at fire magic to bake it over a slow fire, and based on the changes in the spiritual plants, he can find the patterned insects hidden in the branches."
"Normally, spiritual planters will not use this method because they are worried that the spiritual plant will be burned by the flames during the process, so we need monks with exquisite control over fire spells."
"It's just that the Zhang family believes that Yutang should not know the inside story, otherwise he would not seek help from the Tianjian Sect."
Senior Sister Yao asked curiously.
Although she manages a medicine garden for Uncle Ji Architect, her main focus is still on cultivation. She only knows some methods of cultivating spiritual plants, but knows little about anything else.
"Don't worry, I have learned a lot about this pest infestation and will be able to help you solve it soon."
[Shui Ze Ling Peach, a first-grade spiritual plant, usually lives in swamps and swamps. Mature spiritual peach contains rich spiritual power and can be eaten as a spiritual fruit or as the main material for refining certain elixirs. 】
After returning to Zhang's house, Lu Xuan went directly to the residence where the beautiful woman rested, knocked on the door and asked.
Lu Xuan paused and continued.
After that, he took Zhang Chengning back to Zhang's house.
"Senior sister, you are familiar with me. I have no other hobbies. I just like miscellaneous things about spiritual plants and spiritual beasts."
"I'll go discuss it with the head of the Zhang family. Thank you so much, Junior Brother Lu, this time."
"Junior brother, what do you mean, is it possible that the monks of the Zhang family are stealing from you?"
However, she already believed 70% of what Lu Xuan said. After all, Lu Xuan's improvement of the quality of monkey-faced orchid left a very deep impression on her.
"After I came back, I thought about it for a while, and finally remembered that I seemed to have seen information about the strange insect in a certain book of the sect."
Black Shadow felt proud.
"Hehe, what about the Tianjian Sect? Planting so many water peaches in the Zhang family isn't just to make my wedding dress."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Yao Qing frowned slightly, his expression cold.
Turning around and seeing Zhang Chengning looking at him expectantly, he said gently.
[It is required that the ability to control fire spells should not be lower than the level of Xiaocheng, otherwise the spiritual plant may be damaged. 】
He looked around and saw that everything was completely silent. The monks patrolling the Lingzhi Garden also went to rest.
"Senior Sister Yao, my name is Lu Xuan. I have discovered something about the Peach Infestation in Shuizhe. I came here to discuss it with you, Senior Sister."
Although he knew that the habits and shapes of the pseudomorphs were quite weird, and the possibility of being discovered in large numbers was very low, but after all, the person facing him was a monk from a large sect, and he might really find a way to deal with the pseudomorphs.
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
"Junior brother, have you found the source of those strange insects?"
Yao Qing quickly understood the pros and cons and turned around to leave.
[Being invaded and parasitized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the vitality is greatly damaged. Fire magic can be controlled to bake the surface of the peach branches. Under the stimulation of fire spiritual power, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa will have an instinctive reaction, thus distinguishing it from the normal branches of Lingzhi.
Come on.】
A black shadow nimbly entered the spiritual plant garden through the hazy moonlight.
It is very quiet in such a large spiritual plant garden. The moonlight shines on the branches, leaves and fruits of the water peach, as if there are layers of water shining on it, with faint ripples appearing and disappearing.
Night falls.
"Pseudomonas, I have never heard of this name, but I believe in you, junior brother, but do you have a way to deal with it?"
"But there is one thing I want to tell you, senior sister. This worm is not very common and has low reproductive capacity, so it rarely appears in large numbers in the same area."
If the parasitism in the spiritual plant garden is lost too much, the reward he will receive will also be reduced a lot.
The black shadow suddenly felt relieved, and there were bursts of strange insect noises coming from his mouth. The sound was as thin as a mosquito and was almost unnoticeable.
"As a demonic insect in nature, it will naturally make choices to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so that it can be selected from spiritual plants."
"When it enters the mature stage, after the worms have captured enough vitality from the inside of the spiritual plant, they will break away from the spiritual plant and multiply until a new parasitism begins."
"Of course, it is also possible that other monks sneaked into the spiritual plant garden and placed the worm eggs on the water peaches."
"The strange insect is called a parasitic insect. Its eggs parasitize on the spiritual plants. As they grow, they will gradually imitate the form of the spiritual plants. Therefore, they appear to be integrated with the spiritual plants, making it extremely difficult to find traces of them."
Heiying secretly thought in his heart that the arrival of the three monks from the Tianjian Sect gave him a huge sense of crisis, and he had to take the risk and use the deworming technique he had obtained to gather together the mature worms.
"Fire magic spells stimulate... This water peach and the pseudo-striped insect are both afraid of fire, but when baked by the spiritual fire, the spiritual plant has no reaction. Although the pseudo-striped insect has the same shape as the branches of the spiritual plant, its appearance is the same. It reacts differently to flames."
Suddenly, a dim spiritual light lit up, and several figures appeared in the spiritual light.
"I didn't expect that my Zhang family would have a young person like you."
The indifferent voice of the head of the Zhang family sounded, word by word, as if there was endless anger brewing.
