"As long as the hall can provide me with sufficient second- and third-grade spiritual seeds, then I will naturally cultivate spiritual plants wholeheartedly."
Lu Xuan replied very realistically.
When it comes to painting cakes, no one will be the same. As long as you can get the exact rare spiritual seed, it goes without saying that you have a nurturing attitude.
The two talked for a while, and Lu Xuan found a reason to say goodbye and leave.
Before leaving, he said goodbye to Guanshi He and went to the casual cultivator market.
There were many more monks in the market than before. Some of the monks were in a hurry and looked tired. It looked like they had just returned from the wilderness.
Various monster materials appeared on the stalls, and many new varieties of spiritual plants and elixirs appeared.
While Lu Xuan was looking for unknown and rare spiritual species, he listened attentively to the discussions of the monks in the past.
From the monk's words, he learned that a large number of casual cultivators who had gone to open up a new secret realm had just returned to Fangshi.
"I wonder if Brother Zhang will come back this time?"
"Brother Zhang, why don't you tell me about the situation in the secret realm? Although I don't want to go out and take risks, I still want Zhang to listen."
Zhang Hong replied optimistically.
Lu Xuan nodded. Unfortunately, his new blood pill was mainly used to quickly restore Qi and blood, and it had little effect on injuries that required muscle growth.
Zhang Hong grabbed Lu Xuan's arm and pulled him into the house enthusiastically.
"The quality of the spiritual plants I planted recently is quite good, and I have established a certain cooperative relationship with Baicaotang, so I have earned a lot of spiritual stones."
Lu Xuan casually said that anyway, whether it was the cultivation reward brought by the white light group or the improvement of cultivation after taking a large number of pills, they were all borrowed from foreign objects, so he found a more acceptable excuse.
"Chong'an, what are the two sect companions you brought with you doing now?"
The two of them sat at the table, drinking tea and chatting. Xu Wan and Zhang Xiuyuan were preparing to cook in the kitchen, and the lynx walked slowly in the Zhang family's spiritual field.
The two of them were talking in low voices, and the wind blew up in the courtyard at some point, making the branches and leaves of Eclipse Moon rustle.
"I have always thought that even if there are risks in going out to explore secret places, I will not encounter them. I have always dreamed of getting various opportunities."
"I had bad luck in opening up the new secret realm this time. I encountered an evil spirit with a mysterious whereabouts, and if I wasn't careful, it sucked the flesh and blood of an arm."
"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, long time no see!"
"Okay, sure, it's always good to know more about evil spirits."
In the yard, the two eclipse trees that Lu Xuan left for them were planted on both sides. Their branches were lush and leafy, and they were already bearing silvery-white fruits that looked like crescent moons, looming among the dense leaves.
"This time I went to reclaim the secret realm. Although I was seriously injured, it was a blessing in disguise. My cultivation level broke through to the fourth level of Qi training."
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you entertain them well."
Lu Xuan noticed the abnormality in Zhang Hong's arms. The arms under the sleeves were obviously much smaller.
"When the formation in the center of the secret realm is broken, find an opportunity to take them to the secret realm together, and use their power to clean out the evil spirits in the secret realm."
"Maybe in the future I will be like you, little brother Lu, and be an honest spiritual planter and live a stable life with my wife and children."
He originally wanted to go to Wanbao Tower to buy an alchemy furnace to prepare for the subsequent alchemy, but after hearing the news, he temporarily changed his route and went to the gathering place for casual cultivators in the North District.
Zhang Hong gave a bitter smile and rolled up his sleeves, revealing an arm that was as dry as an old tree. The flesh and blood of the arm were withered, and even a section of the arm had gray bones exposed.
He entered the courtyard with a smile and saw Zhang Hong and two people coming out.
"Fortunately, I saved my life and can see you again, little brother Lu."
On the top of a building dozens of feet high, the head of the Wang family overlooked the entire Linyangfang City without saying a word.
There was a knock on the door, and the courtyard door opened a crack, revealing Zhang Xiuyuan's face with a curious expression.
The cloud-walking lynx had a cold expression and green eyes without any emotion. She ignored Zhang Xiuyuan's teasing, but she kept a close distance with him.
The same is true for both of them.
He bought several kilograms of spirit animal meat in the market and carried it outside the Zhang family's yard.
A trace of fear flashed in Zhang Hong's eyes, and he took a deep breath before he recovered.
…
"More than a dozen monks, including several mid-level Qi-training monks, were easily killed by a sneaky-level evil spirit like that."
"You should be able to fully recover after a period of rest. As for complete recovery, it will be a bit difficult."
"Before, due to the limitation of spiritual power, I could not cultivate and plant too many spiritual plants. After learning from the painful experience, I used almost all the spiritual stones to buy elixirs to improve my cultivation, and I was able to break through to the fourth level of Qi training in a short time."
"With the help of two senior brothers and sisters, the evil spirits and alienated monks in Fang City have been almost eliminated. However, the evil spirit of the evil level has not been found. I don't know whether it is because the concealment ability is too strong or it has returned to the secret realm."
"This time I came back from the new secret realm. I was lucky enough to save a life, so I have some different ideas."
"However, reality will always hit you head-on. As the new secret realm is explored deeper and deeper, the dangers that arise are also increasing. I witnessed with my own eyes an entire team in the distance being killed by evil spirits."
Zhang Hong opened the conversation.
"Can you recover? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"I originally thought that I could show off after meeting you, little brother Lu, but I didn't expect that you have been staying in Fangshi and your cultivation has improved faster than mine, and you have reached the fourth level of Qi training without knowing it."
Lu Xuan asked with a serious expression.
"Xiaoyuan, have you grown so tall?"
However, after evil spirits invaded and alienated monks appeared from time to time, his behavior was restricted by his mother Xu Wan, and he has not been seen for several months.
"Uncle Lu, are you here?!"
When an acquaintance met, Lu Xuan felt happy and greeted with a smile.
After moving out from the outskirts of the North District, Lu Xuan rarely returned there.
Lu Xuan muttered to himself, thinking of the Zhang Hong family who had taken good care of him.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong with your hand?"
Fang City Center, Wangjia.
"It's just a good time to rest, recuperate, and think clearly about the future."
After not seeing each other for a few months, Zhang Xiuyuan suddenly grew taller and was already slightly over Lu Xuan's shoulders.
After having enough wine and food, Lu Xuan and Zhang Hong sat in the yard, while Zhang Xiuyuan teased the cloud-walking lynx.
The moment he saw Lu Xuan, Zhang Xiuyuan, who had worked together to exterminate insects and forged a deep friendship, shouted in surprise.
"Brother Lu, I finally met you. When I came back, I heard Xiaoyuan say that you were moving away. I was still talking about it, but I didn't expect you to come!"
A handsome young man standing quietly behind him stepped forward and said respectfully.
Lu Xuan said that he did not advise Zhang Hong on what to do, and every choice could not be said to be right or wrong.
The only family he was familiar with was Zhang Hong's family. When Zhang Hong was out, it was inconvenient for him to go there. However, Zhang Xiuyuan came to play with Lu Xuan a few times in the beginning.
"Dad! Mom! Uncle Lu is here."
"yes."
The handsome young man responded in a deep voice.
Above the tall building, the wind howled, and the green and black robes rustled in the wind.
