Chapter 139: The Inner Ghost

After everyone discussed for a while, they still couldn't find an effective way, so they had no choice but to leave the Spirit Plantation Garden one after another.

"Cheng Ning, you take me to find a dying Mizusawa Spirit Peach, I have a bit of an eyebrow for these alien insects, but I still need to verify it."

After most of the people left, Lu Xuan said to the handsome young man who was still following him.

"Huh? Okay, Lu-senpai! ”

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Zhang Chengning, who was already sad, showed joy and responded in a low voice.

He took Lu Xuan through the mire, and after a while, he came to a worrisome Mizusawa spirit peach.

"There are already a large number of hollow parts inside the torso of this spirit plant, which has seriously affected its normal growth, and the spirit planters in the family have tried their best to save it, so they have to leave it to fend for itself."

Lu Xuan carefully inspected this Mizusawa Spirit Peach, and it was indeed as Zhang Chengning said, there were many hollow areas in the trunk and branches.

He didn't hesitate, he directly pulled out the seriously ill Shuize Spirit Peach, pretended to observe it for a while, and then planted it in the mire.

After completing the [planting] procedure, Lu Xuan's mind condensed on this seriously ill Shuize spirit peach, and suddenly a message flashed through his mind.

[Mizusawa spirit peach, a product spirit plant, usually lives in the mud swamp water. The ripe spirit peach contains rich spiritual power, which can be used as a spirit fruit to eat, and can also be used as the main ingredient for refining certain pills. 】

[Parasitic by the invasion of the striatine, the vitality is greatly damaged, you can control the fire technique, bake the surface of the branch of the water spirit peach, under the stimulation of the fire spiritual power, the striatine will have an instinctive reaction, so as to distinguish it from the normal branches of the spirit plant. 】

[It is required that the control ability of fire spells is not lower than the Xiaocheng realm, otherwise it may cause damage to the spirit plant.] 】

"Fire Technique Stimulation...... This Mizusawa spirit peach is also afraid of fire as the mimetic insect, but under the roasting of the spiritual fire, the spirit plant does not react, and although the form of the mimetic insect is the same as the branch of the spirit plant, it will react differently when facing the flames. ”

"It is essentially a demon insect, and it will naturally make a choice to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, so that it can be selected from the spirit plant."

"Normally, the Spirit Plant Master will not use this method, because he is worried that the Spirit Plant will be burned by the flames in the process, so he needs a monk with subtle control ability in the fire technique."

Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.

Turning his head, he saw Zhang Chengning looking at him expectantly, and he said gently.

"Don't worry, I've learned a lot about this infestation, and I'll be able to help you solve it once and for all."

After that, take Zhang Chengning back to Zhang's house.

"Senior Sister Yao, I'm Lu Xuan, I found something about the pest pest of the Mizusawa Ling Peach this time, and I specially came over to discuss it with you, Senior Sister."

After returning to Zhang's house, Lu Xuan came directly to the residence where the beautiful woman was resting, knocked on the door and asked.

"Senior Brother Lu, please come in."

Lu Xuan pushed open the door, and Yao Qing was sitting on a wooden chair, looking at him with a smile.

"Did you find the source of those strange insects?"

"Senior sister is familiar with me, I don't have any other preferences, I like some miscellaneous things about spirit plants and spirit animals."

"After I came back, I thought about it for a while, and finally remembered that I seemed to have seen information about that strange insect in a certain book of the sect."

"The strange insect is called the mimetic worm, and the eggs are parasitic on the spirit plant, and it will gradually simulate the form of the spirit plant during its growth, so it looks as if it is integrated with the spirit plant, and it is extremely difficult to find its traces."

"When they reach maturity, they will break away from the spirit plant and multiply until a new parasitism begins."

"Mimic worm, I haven't heard of this name, but I believe in you, junior brother, but junior brother has a way to deal with it?"

Senior Sister Yao asked curiously.

Although she manages a medicine garden for Uncle Zhuji, her main focus is still on cultivation, and she only knows some methods of cultivating spiritual plants, and she knows very little about anything else.

However, she had already believed seven or eight points of what Lu Xuan said, after all, Lu Xuan's improvement of the quality of the monkey face orchid left a very deep impression on her.

"The method is not very difficult, it only takes a monk who is good at fire magic, baking it over a slow fire, and according to the changes of the spirit plant, so as to find the mimic worm hidden in the branches."

Lu Xuan paused and continued.

"But there is one thing I want to tell you, senior sister, this mimesis is not very common, and its reproductive ability is low, so it rarely appears in large numbers in the same area."

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Yao Qing frowned slightly, and his expression was cold.

"What does junior brother mean, this may be the guardian of the Zhang family monk stealing?"

"Of course, it is also possible that other monks infiltrated the Spirit Plantation and placed the eggs of the mimetic insects on the Mizusawa Spirit Peach."

"It's just that the Zhang family advocates that Yutang shouldn't know the inside story, otherwise they won't ask the Heavenly Sword Sect for help."

Yao Qing quickly figured out the stakes and turned around and left cleanly.

"I'm going to discuss it with the head of the Zhang family, thank you Senior Brother Lu this time."

Night falls.

In a huge spiritual plantation, it is very quiet, and the moonlight pours on the branches and leaves and fruits of the water peach, as if there are layers of water light flickering, and faint ripples appear and disappear from time to time.

A black shadow entered the Spirit Plantation Garden with a deft figure through the hazy moonlight.

He looked around, and everything was silent, and the monks who were inspecting the Spirit Plantation also entered the rest.

The black shadow was suddenly relieved, and there were bursts of strange insect chirping sounds from his mouth, and the sound was as thin as a mosquito, almost imperceptible.

Not long after the sound of insects, the branches and leaves of the surrounding Mizusawa Lingtao trembled, and a piece of strange insects like branches fell off the trees, crawling slowly in the mire, and rushing towards the black shadow.

"This deworming technique is really effective, and it can automatically gather the mimetic worms, but unfortunately, it only has an effect on the adults, and has little effect on the larvae that are still in a parasitic and simulated state."

The black shadow secretly said in his heart, the arrival of the three monks of the Heavenly Sword Sect gave him a huge sense of crisis, and he had to take the risk and use the insect repellent technique he obtained to gather the mimic insects that had entered the mature stage together.

Although he knew that the habits and shapes of the mimetic insects were quite strange, and the possibility of being discovered in large numbers was very low, but after all, the opposite side was a monk from a large sect, and he would really find a way to solve the mimetic insects.

If the parasitic worms in the Spirit Plantation Garden are consumed too much, the reward he receives will be much less.

"Take this batch of mimetic insects, come over two or three times, and you'll almost have them all."

"Hehe, what kind of Heavenly Sword Sect, planting so many water spirit peaches in the Zhang family, it's not for me to make a wedding dress."

The dark shadow was triumphant.

Suddenly, the aura lit up, and several figures appeared in the glow.

"I didn't expect my Zhang family to have a young person like you."

The indifferent voice of the head of the Zhang family sounded, word by word, as if there was infinite anger brewing.
