Chapter 132: Chapter 130 Yin Fire 1
Translator: 549690339
After tasting many spirit fruits, Lu Xuan was led into her Spirit Field by the round-faced female cultivator.
The Spirit Field was covered by formations, so the growing spirit plants could not be seen very clearly.
The round-faced female cultivator led Lu Xuan to a fiery red spirit plant.
The spirit plant was as tall as a person and had many palm-sized fiery red leaves, with dozens to hundreds of fiery red spirit fruits growing amongst the branches.
The bottom of the fruit was thick and the top was thin. The surface of the fruit had flame-like patterns. At first glance, it looked like clusters of flames hanging between the branches.
However, regardless of the fiery red branches and leaves or the flame-like spirit fruits, their current state was not very good. The branches and leaves revealed a languid state and the spirit fruits seemed somewhat shriveled, looking as if they lacked nutrients.
“This is the second-grade Fiery Fruit. I don’t know why, but its growth is particularly poor, and I can’t find the problem. That’s why I published a task in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, hoping to find a fellow Sect member who can solve the spirit fruit problem.”
The round-faced female cultivator pointed at the wilting Fiery Fruit and said to Lu Xuan.
“Sister Chen, I will start examining it. If I offend the Fiery Fruit in any inappropriate way, may I beg for Sister Chen’s forgiveness.”
Lu Xuan said to the round-faced female cultivator.
“Junior Brother Lu, feel free to treat this Fiery Fruit. Don’t worry about minor issues, as long as you can successfully cure it, some degree of damage doesn’t matter.”
“Once you successfully heal it, and when the Fiery Fruit matures, I will bring you some spirit fruit.”
The round-faced female cultivator said cheerfully.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan’s nerves instantly eased. He walked towards the Fiery Fruit, pinched a palm-sized fiery red leaf, and looked closely.
He had recently crammed a lot of related knowledge about Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast, including the various problems that may arise during the growth of spirit plants.
He was no longer the loose cultivator who only knew about his own cultivation of spirit plants. Now, he had a certain understanding of various common spirit plants and beasts.
It doesn t seem to be infested by any insects.”
There was nothing unusual on the front and back of the fiery red leaf, and there were no signs of any strange worms’ intrusion.
Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense slowly seeped into the Fiery Fruit Spirit Plant. He carefully navigated through its branches and leaves but did not find any abnormal conditions.
“Did Junior Brother Lu find anything?”
The round-faced female cultivator saw Lu Xuan open his eyes and asked anxiously.
“No, all the branches and leaves of the Fiery Fruit are normal.”
“It hasn’t been infected by any worms, the growth environment is full of spiritual energy, it’s strange, how could there be growth problems?”
Lu Xuan said to himself.
“Indeed, I put my heart into it while cultivating it. I cast fire system techniques on the Fiery Fruit every day, so it could absorb enough fire attribute spiritual power. However, for some reason, its growth condition is getting more and more serious.”
Sister Chen supplemented from the side.
In that case, it seems to be a problem with the spirit plant itself.”
“Sister Chen, was this Fiery Fruit grown in your Spirit Field from the start, or was it halfway transplanted from somewhere else?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“I found it in a secret land not long ago. Because I love various spirit fruits, I transplanted this Fiery Fruit into my Spirit Field.”
“Is there any problem during this process? During the process of transplantation, I paid great attention to it. I brought it back to the Sect with a special magical instrument to ensure that the Fiery Fruit wouldn’t lose much of its spiritual power.”
The beautiful and charming female cultivator explained to Lu Xuan.
“Sister Chen, may I pull out the Fiery Fruit’s roots to see if there’s any problem with them?”
Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the round-faced female cultivator showed a hesitating expression on her face.
Pulling a spirit plant out of the Spirit Soil would affect its growth to a certain extent, and it would take some time to recover. Hence, she found it hard to accept Lu Xuan’s request for the time being.
“If we pull the roots out, how sure is Junior Brother Lu that he can successfully heal this Fiery Fruit?”
The round-faced female cultivator asked Lu Xuan with a serious expression. If this Fiery Fruit continues to grow in its current state, it may wither and die after a period of time. With this in mind, it’s not unacceptable to pull out the roots.
“At least 70 percent.”
Lu Xuan confidently responded.
His examination of the Fiery Fruit’s roots was just a cover, his main purpose was still to complete the [Planting] action and thus control the detailed status of the Fiery Fruit.
Alright, Junior Brother Lu, feel free to use your methods.”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s confidence, the round-faced female cultivator felt more at ease and signaled Lu Xuan to dispose of the Fiery Fruit as he pleased.
Lu Xuan nodded, deployed the Earth Pulling Technique, and the spirit that wrapped the Fiery Fruit’s roots loosened instantly.
He easily pulled out the Fiery Fruit entirely. He gently shook off the Spirit Soil on the roots.
The dark red roots appeared before them.
Lu Xuan reached out to touch the surface of the roots. A faint cool sensation came from the fiery red roots, which was slightly different from the information he saw in the Jade Book.
Sister Chen, come over and touch the roots of the Fiery Fruit.”
He called the round-faced female cultivator over and said softly.
“Huh? Why is it so cool? I remember from the records, the roots of the Fiery
Fruit have a slight burning sensation.”
The round-faced female cultivator sounded the surprise. The Fiery Fruit, under the long-term nourishment of fire system techniques, would have a slight burning sensation on the root surface. However, the roots felt the completely opposite when touched.
“It appears that is where the problem is.”
Lu Xuan casually buried the Fiery Fruit in the Spirit Soil as if it were an afterthought; his mind focused on the spirit plant. Immediately, a thought flashed in his mind.
[Fiery Fruit, a second-level spirit plant, the fruits are rich in spiritual energy, consuming it can slightly enhance the spiritual power within a cultivator’s body, it can also be used as a refining material for some Spirit Wine and Spirits.]
[During cultivation, fire system techniques are needed to stimulate the spirit plant, to accelerate the growth speed of the spirit plant.]
[Due to the growth in a special environment and the reason for swallowing large amounts of Yin Fire, the Fiery Fruit has undergone mutation. Ordinary fire system techniques cannot play a role in nourishing and supplementing. It needs stimulation from Yin Fire or Strange Fire.]
“So that’s how it is.”
Lu Xuan sighed silently. The Fiery Fruit in front of him might look similar to ordinary Fiery Fruits, but because it grows in a Yin Fire environment, it has evolved over a long time to only absorb and swallow special flames. Ordinary flames are not very helpful to its growth.
“Junior Brother Lu, why did you plant the roots back into the Spirit Soil so quickly? Shouldn’t you inspect it more?”
The round-faced female cultivator couldn’t help but ask when she saw Lu Xuan’s actions.
“Sister Chen, there’s no need, I already roughly know what the problem is.”
Lu Xuan used the Earth Pulling Technique, wrapped the Fiery Fruit’s roots with the Spirit Soil, and smiled at the round-faced female cultivator.
“If I’m not wrong, then Sister Chen, when you found this Fiery Fruit, it was growing in a Yin Fire environment, right?”
“Indeed.”
A surprised expression appeared on the round-faced female cultivator’s face. She didn’t expect that Lu Xuan could directly identify the growth environment of the Fiery Fruit before its transplantation..
