Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wind Rises
"As long as the hall can provide me with enough second- and third-grade spirit seeds, then I will naturally cultivate spirit plants wholeheartedly."
Lu Xuan replied very practically.
Draw cakes, no one will be the same, as long as you can get the exact rare spirit seed, then the cultivation attitude is needless to say.
The two talked for a while, and Lu Xuan found a reason to say goodbye and leave.
Before leaving, he said goodbye to Steward He and came to the Sanxiu Bazaar.
There were many more monks in the bazaar than before, and some of them were in a hurry, looking tired, as if they had just returned from the wilderness.
The various demon beast materials that appeared on the stalls, and many new varieties of spiritual plant elixirs also appeared.
Lu Xuan looked at whether there were any unknown and rare spirit species, and listened intently to the discussions of the past monks.
From the monk's words, he learned that a large number of casual cultivators who had gone to cultivate a new secret realm had just returned to Fang City.
"I don't know if Brother Zhang came back this time?"
Lu Xuan muttered to himself, thinking of Zhang Hong's family, who had taken good care of him.
He originally wanted to go to Wanbaolou to buy an alchemy furnace to prepare for the alchemy in the future, but after hearing the news, he temporarily changed his route and went to the North District Scattered Cultivation Gathering Place.
After moving out of the periphery of the North District, Lu Xuan rarely returned there.
He is more familiar with only Zhang Hong's family, Zhang Hong goes out, so it is inconvenient for him to go over, but Zhang Xiuyuan has come to play with Lu Xuan a few times at the beginning.
It's just that after the invasion of evil spirits and the appearance of alienated monks from time to time, his behavior was restricted by his mother Xu Wan, and he hadn't seen him for months.
He bought a few catties of spirit animal meat in the bazaar and carried it to the outside of the Zhang family's courtyard.
There was a knock on the door, and a crack opened in the courtyard door, revealing Zhang Xiuyuan's face with a curious look.
"Uncle Lu, are you here?!"
"Daddy! Mother! Uncle Lu is here. ”
The moment he saw Lu Xuan, Zhang Xiuyuan, who had cooperated in exterminating insects and formed a deep friendship, shouted in surprise.
"Xiaoyuan, have you grown so tall?"
After not seeing each other for a few months, Zhang Xiuyuan's height has risen a lot, and he has slightly surpassed Lu Xuan's shoulders.
He entered the courtyard with a smile and saw Zhang Hong and the two coming out.
"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, long time no see!"
When acquaintances met, Lu Xuan was happy in his heart and greeted with a smile.
The same is true for both.
"Little Brother Lu, I can be regarded as seeing you, when I came back and heard Xiaoyuan say that you moved away, I was still chattering, I didn't expect you to come!"
Zhang Hong grabbed Lu Xuan's arm and enthusiastically pulled him into the room.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong with your hand?"
Lu Xuan noticed the abnormality of Zhang Hong's arm, and the arm under the sleeve was obviously much smaller.
Zhang Hong smiled bitterly and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the arm that was as dry as an old tree, the flesh and blood of the arm were withered, and even a gray and white bone was exposed.
"I had bad luck in cultivating that new secret realm this time, and I encountered a mysterious evil cult, and he was careless and sucked the flesh of one of his arms."
"Fortunately, I saved my life, and I can see you again Little Brother Lu."
"Can you recover? How can I help? ”
Lu Xuan asked with a heavy face.
"After a period of recuperation, you should be able to heal, but as for full recovery, it is a bit difficult."
Zhang Hong replied optimistically.
Lu Xuan nodded, but it was a pity that his newly acquired Blood Spirit Pill was mainly used to quickly restore qi and blood, and it was not very effective for this kind of injury that needed to grow muscle and flesh.
"This time I went to reclaim the secret realm, although I was seriously injured, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and my cultivation has broken through to the fourth layer of qi training."
"Originally, I thought that after meeting Little Brother Lu, I would be able to show off, but I didn't expect that you have been staying in Fang City, and your cultivation has improved faster than me, and you have unknowingly reached the fourth level of Qi training."
The two sat at the table, drinking tea and chatting, Xu Wan took Zhang Xiuyuan to prepare in the kitchen, and the lynx walked slowly in Zhang's spiritual field.
"The quality of the spirit plants I have planted recently is not bad, and I have established a certain cooperative relationship with Baicaotang, so I have earned a lot of spirit stones."
"Before, due to the limitation of spiritual power, I couldn't cultivate and plant too many spiritual plants, so after learning from the pain, I used almost all the spirit stones to buy pills to improve my cultivation, so as to break through to the fourth layer of qi cultivation in a short period of time."
Lu Xuan said casually, anyway, whether it was the cultivation reward brought by the white light group, or the improvement of cultivation after taking a large amount of pills, it was all a pretence of foreign objects, so he found a more acceptable excuse.
Full of wine and food, Lu Xuan and Zhang Hong sat in the courtyard, and Zhang Xiuyuan teased the cloud lynx on the side.
The cloud-stepping lynx looked cold, its green eyes had no emotion, and it didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiuyuan's teasing, but it kept a close distance with him.
In the courtyard, the two crescent trees left by Lu Xuan were planted on both sides, with lush branches and leaves, and there were already silver-white fruits like crescents, looming in the dense leaves.
"This time I came back from the new secret realm, I was lucky enough to pick up a life, and I had some different ideas."
Zhang Hong opened the chatterbox.
"I always thought that even if there would be risks in going out to explore the secret realm, I wouldn't encounter it, and I always thought that I could get all kinds of opportunities."
"However, reality will always blow you head-on, and as the new secret realm is explored more and more, the dangers that arise are also increasing, and I have witnessed an entire team in the distance being killed by the evil spirit."
"There are more than ten monks, and there are several middle-level Qi cultivation cultivators in it, who were easily killed by a treacherous-level evil like that."
A trace of fear flashed in Zhang Hong's eyes, and he took a deep breath before he eased up.
"Maybe in the future, I will be like you, Little Brother Lu, and be an honest spirit planter, and spend my life with my wife and children in peace."
"It's just a good time to take a break, recuperate from your injuries, and think about the way forward."
Lu Xuan said that he did not persuade Zhang Hong what to do, and every choice could not be said to be right or wrong.
"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'll listen to it. ”
"Well, yes, it's always good to know more about the cult."
The two whispered, and the wind in the courtyard blew at some point, making the branches and leaves of the Eclipse Moon Tree rattle.
……
Fang city center, Wang's house.
On the top of a building dozens of zhang high, the head of the Wang family overlooked the entire Linyangfang City and was silent.
"Chong'an, what are the two sect companions you brought with you doing now?"
A handsome young man standing quietly behind him stepped forward and said respectfully.
"With the help of the two senior brothers and sisters, the evil cult in Fang City, the alienated monks, etc., have been almost cleaned up, but the treacherous evil has not been found, I don't know if the concealment ability is too strong, or it has returned to the secret realm."
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as the good students entertain them."
"Wait for the central formation of the secret realm to be broken, find an opportunity to take them to the secret realm together, and use their strength to clean up the evil in the secret realm."
"Yes."
The handsome young man replied in a deep voice.
Above the tall building, the wind howled, and the blue and black robes hunted in the wind.
