Chapter 89

Lu Xuan didn't want to rush to the front but intended to follow the crowd. He planned to join in only after the first group of Spirit Plant Masters had experimented and understood the Dragonvine.

During the discussions, Lu Xuan listened to several Spirit Plant Masters, each sharing various ideas effortlessly. He found some unexpected insights through his understanding, which was a pleasant surprise.

Suddenly, in the distance, amidst a pile of Dragonvine, a thin, dark red snake-like tendril shot out towards a nearby Spirit Plant Master.

With a clang, a shield-shaped artifact blocked the tendril, while a black flying sword swiftly split it in half.

Prepared beforehand, the Spirit Plant Master wasn't harmed by the Dragonvine's sudden attack, just startled.

The Spirit Plant Master, struck by the tendril, noticed a change in the small pile of Dragonvine at their feet. It seemed as though each tendril might launch a surprise attack at any moment.

Half an hour passed, and occasionally, cultivators were suddenly attacked by the volatile Dragonvine. Thankfully, they were cautious, weakening the vine's attack, and there were no casualties for the time being.

However, many Spirit Plant Masters remained clueless about distinguishing between normal and volatile Dragonvine, making no progress.

"I wonder if we can find a way to differentiate and separate the normal Dragonvine."

Perched on a protruding boulder, Wang Ruhai and Li Jianfeng observed over a dozen Spirit Plant Masters with crossed arms.

"Perhaps," Li Jianfeng replied nonchalantly.

"The hope is still considerable. After all, these are the top-tier Spirit Plant Masters in Lin Yangfang Market. If they can't find a solution, then there might not be any."

"With so many second-tier Spirit Plants, it would be a shame if they went to waste."nove(l)bi(n.)com

Li Jianfeng nodded lightly in agreement.

After waiting a while longer and seeing no progress, the refined scholar Wang Ruhai stretched lazily and said with a smile, "Jianfeng, you stay here. I'll check around nearby to see if I can find some medicinal herbs. If there are any malevolent beasts or spirits, I'll take care of them on the way."

"These Spirit Plant Masters are all at the mid-tier of Qi cultivation and haven't experienced much danger. There shouldn't be any major issues with you guarding alone."

With that said, wielding a golden flying sword, Wang Ruhai swiftly departed.

After listening to discussions and discreetly observing, Lu Xuan finally began his practice and approached three strands of Dragonvine.

Harvesting Dragonvine wasn't difficult; with a proficient level of Earth Attraction Technique, it could be harvested relatively easily, something most Spirit Plant Masters present could manage.

The challenge lay in distinguishing normal from volatile Dragonvine and separating the unknown substance within normal Dragonvine.

Unable to distinguish, if volatile Dragonvine was harvested alongside normal ones, it would damage the normal plants during any violent outburst.

"It's quite adept at disguising itself."

After waiting for a while, the volatile Dragonvine showed no signs of movement, remaining completely still. It seemed Lu Xuan's judgment was wrong.

"Well then, continue pretending; I won't play along."

Lu Xuan moved aside, squatting in front of several strands of Dragonvine, feigning deep research.

"Ah, planting the Spirit Plants personally allows one to perceive their real-time status and details."

"True, I've only leased the two Spiritual Fields in the market and don't have ownership. Being able to detect the status of planted Dragonvine makes sense."

"However, these halfway planted Spirit Plants probably won't yield any spiritual rewards, much like the mutated ones I acquired earlier or those four Blood Jade Ginseng I preserved."

"One must personally plant and meticulously nurture Spirit Seeds or seedlings, then harvest them at maturity for timely rewards."

"Still, discovering the secrets within this Dragonvine is quite impressive."

Lu Xuan marveled, choosing not to reveal his findings to the Wang family cultivators. Instead, he mimicked the other Spirit Plant Masters, casting Spirit Rain and Wood Growth techniques, indistinguishable from those around him.

During this time, if he discovered other plants, he'd unearth them and then casually replant them to understand their detailed information. Unfortunately, he didn't come across any rare Spirit Plants.

"What's this?"

Suddenly, beneath a peculiar stone, he noticed a mushroom-shaped stone.

The stone was gray-white, hard in texture, with many bizarre patterns on its broad surface, forming an eerie face as if ready to devour someone.

"Should I plant it?"

Seeing its mushroom-like shape and odd appearance, Lu Xuan felt an urge to plant it.

Employing the Earth Attraction Technique, he quietly cracked the buried stone, leaving a fissure perfect for embedding the mushroom stone.

Concentrating, a thought emerged in his mind.

Lu Xuan suppressed his inner excitement, absorbing and digesting the thought.

[Ghost-Faced Stone Mushroom, third-tier Spirit Plant, when mature, enhances the cultivation speed of certain malevolent arts, feeding on vengeful spirits. It remains in a dormant state, requiring an elixir made from crushed vengeful spirits to awaken.]
