“Junior Brother Lu, are you there?”

One day while Lu Xuan was cultivating spiritual plants, a call came from outside his courtyard door.

“So it’s Senior Sister Yao, it’s been a while. Senior sister, you look radiant.

Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door and instantly saw a beautiful woman standing at the entrance. She was the manager of the medicine garden where he was first assigned the task of cultivating Monkey-faced Orchids.

“Junior Brother Lu is too kind.”

The beautiful woman followed Lu Xuan into the courtyard, glanced around, felt the strong vitality under the faint mist, and praised it.

“It seems like Junior Brother Lu has planted quite a few rare spiritual plants.

They are so vital that even the formations can’t contain them.”

Even though she said so, she skillfully did not ask to inspect the spirit field.

“Senior sister is too kind, I am wondering, did Senior Sister Yao come here for something?”

Lu Xuan inquired curiously.

“Indeed, there is a matter for you, and it’s a great one.”

The beautiful woman smiled and continued.

“I, who manage a medicine garden for a Foundation Establishment Uncle Master, had a spirit plant garden that was recently plagued by pests, and the problem has not been resolved for quite a while.”

“The Uncle Master then assigned me to solve the issue. I alone might not be enough so I thought of inviting Junior Brother Lu to go with me.” The beautiful woman had a deep impression of Lu Xuan. During his cultivation of Monkey-faced Orchids, he could perceive the subtle changes in the orchids and find the secrets within, making corresponding adjustments that improved the overall quality of Monkey-faced Orchids. This had earned her some face in front of the Foundation Establishment Uncle Master.

Upon receiving such a task, she immediately thought of Lu Xuan. Firstly, she was clear about Lu Xuan’s profound accomplishment in the Spiritual Plant Path, and inviting him would probably solve the pest problem more effectively.

Secondly, she wanted to return a favor. The task was simple and the compensation was generous. It could be considered a welfare task.

“Senior Sister Yao, I am generally idle in my cultivation, my cultivation level is average, and I am not good at fighting laws. I only have some talents in cultivating spiritual plants, so I have to turn you down.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“But, Junior Brother Lu…”

The beautiful woman paused her words, a strange look in her eyes.

“I invited a Spirit Plant Master…”

“I was careless. As soon as a cultivator invites me, I refuse without noticing that Senior Sister Yao invited the Spirit Plant Master…”

Lu Xuan thought to himself, and the scene fell silent for a while.

“Junior Brother Lu, you mentioned cultivation level and experience in law fights. Are you worried about potential dangers?”

“You can completely rest assured about this. The spirit plant site is only a few hundred miles away from the sect, and there are no evil cultivators or demon beasts hidden along the way. I even asked my Uncle Master for a third-rank magical weapon, it is top-notch in terms of both speed and protection.”

“As for the spiritual plant site, it’s mainly inhabited by lower and middle-tier Qi practitioners. There are very few high-tier Qi practitioners, so you can be at ease.”

The beautiful woman seemed to see through Lu Xuan’s prudent policy and spoke softly.

“A few hundred miles journey, indeed, not a big deal. However, Senior Sister Yao, why didn’t your Foundation Establishment Uncle Master plant it in the sect?”

“Mainly because those spirit plants have too great a demand. If they were planted in the sect, it would require a large area of spirit fields, and the growth environment might not be conducive to the growth of spirit plants.”

“Therefore, Uncle Master outsources those spirit plants to minor family cultivators. Those cultivators are all descendants of outer or inner sect disciples of the sect and are trustworthy.”

The beautiful woman explained in detail to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan nodded, confirming his understanding.

The words from Senior Sister Yao cleared his confusion about safety. Considering that this was an asset of the Foundation Establishment Uncle Master within the Sect, Lu Xuan hesitated briefly before nodding in agreement.

“Please take care of me during our journey, Senior Sister Yao,” he said.

“It’s only appropriate,” she responded.

“Given your cultivation level, Junior Brother, you will naturally command respect among lower-level and intermediate-level Qi cultivators. Together with your skill in cultivating spirit plants, it seems more likely that you’ll be taking care of me!”

A look of pleasure crossed the beautiful woman’s face. With Lu Xuan, an expert in cultivating spirit plants, joining the effort, their chances of eliminating the pests at their origin had greatly increased.

She informed him of their departure time and what he needed to prepare before bidding him farewell.

Two days later, a shuttle-shaped flying boat landed in Qingshi Square in Sword Gate Town.

Lu Xuan, the beautiful woman, and an Ordinarily Young Man at the Ninth Level of Qi Training jumped down from the flying boat.

“Junior Brothers, we will stay in Sword Gate Town for a while. Everyone would make their own supplies and meet under the stone sword in half a day,” she said.

Lu Xuan had no objections, he nodded and went off to wander around Sword Gate Town on his own.

About an hour later, carrying the materials he bought, he entered a small courtyard.

Before even entering the Spirit Field, waves of cold yin wind could be felt. Ghost-like remnants of resentful spirits would appear at different areas of the house, issuing chilling low growls.

The last time he left, he released fifty Yin Soul resentments from the Resentful Soul Bell; but now, only a dozen remained.

“These Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms sure do eat a lot,” Lu Xuan exclaimed, walking towards them.

Despite absorbing seven or eight Yin Soul resentments, the size of the Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms had not changed significantly. Their peculiar patterns had brightened somewhat, giving them an appearance of vitality.

He took out the Resentful Soul Bell Magical Tool from the storage bag and released another fifty Yn Souls.

Suddenly, the whole courtyard was filled with Yin Qi, dropping the temperature drastically.

Lu Xuan approached the Thorn Bone. After absorbing the demon beast’s skeleton, the slender white bone became even more icy and white, and some tiny bone spurs grew on both sides of the bone.

With a loud bang, the huge skeleton of the Barbarian Armored Bull fell around the Thorn Bone. Lu Xuan deliberately controlled it, using the hollow of the skeleton to surround the Thorn Bone, nourishing it substantially.

After nurturing the Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms and Thorn Bone for a bit, Lu Xuan took out the fourth-grade Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree spirit plant from the Life Bag and planted it in the Spirit Field.

Next, he took out a demon beast carcass that still had fresh blood flowing from it. He bought this specially from a stand in town to meet the growth needs of the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.

Lu Xuan took out the silver edge fragments of the Slivered Silver Blade and dug out the eyeball of the demon beast, gently placing it on the wrinkled bark of the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.

Before long, the nearly transparent thin tentacle closest to the beast’s eyeball quietly opened a slit in its half-closed eye. Like a gecko’s tongue, it quickly drew the demon beast’s eyeball closer.

The eyeball of the demon beast, as if nailed to the spot, did not move over its half-closed eye.

Lu Xuan focused his mind and senses, feeling the satisfaction emanating from the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, and he felt relieved.

“Coming here once has certainly made the spirit field a lot more gloomy,” he remarked.

In the small courtyard, tens of Yin Souls roamed aimlessly, but they were unable to escape from the formation that covered them.

The giant demon beast’s skeleton was like a small mountain, with the Thorn Bone faintly visible within it.

Accompanied by the new Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree filled with strange pupils and demon beast’s eyeballs with blood traces left on the old tree bark. All of this made the small courtyard even more sinister and eerie..
