Chapter 243: The Rotten Water Lotus Enveloped in Filth l

Translator: 549690339

To each question of the Outer Sect disciples, Lu Xuan provided a detailed answer.

Over the years, he diligently cultivated spirit plants. After joining the Sect, he made up for the knowledge about spirit plants, enabling him to grasp many types of spirit plants at his fingertips.

When faced with various problems, he either headed straight for the crux or pulled apart layers of complications to address the root cause of the spirit plant issues.

This sparked admiration among everyone present and allowed them to see Lu Xuan’s spirit plant cultivation skills with more clarity.

Half a day later, Lu Xuan bid farewell to the crowd, returned to his side hall, and took a short rest.

When he returned to the main hall, he found that there were even more cultivators than there had been in the morning, including three Foundation Establishment First-stage cultivators among the Outer Sect disciples, all eagerly waiting for Lu Xuan on stage.

“In the afternoon, we will mainly discuss cases of spirit plants with various difficult symptoms. If anyone encounters any problems they can’t solve, you can bring them up, and we can study and discuss together.”

Lu Xuan said in a serious tone.

“Fellow disciples, I’ll go first without further ado.”

A young cultivator rose to his feet, bowed with his fist, and stepped onto the stage.

“Can I ask Uncle Lu to help me look into it.”

He deftly activated a charm, and a large water screen appeared before the crowd, displaying a clear image.

The charm was a Second-Grade Water Mirror Charm, which can select a target to imprint, and when activated, it can maintain a clear image on a water screen for a time.

This type of Water Mirror Talisman is very popular in pleasure houses throughout the cultivation world.

At this moment, a clear image was projected on the water screen for everyone to see.

In a swampy pond filled with silky black mud, a lily as white as snow was growing. A faint black aura was wrapped around the lily.

“This lily is called Rotten Water Lotus, a second-grade spirit plant. Since it is at a critical growth stage, I was worried that transplanting it would have a significant impact, so I used this Water Mirror Talisman to imprint it.”

“Recently, I don’t know why, a faint black aura has appeared on the leaves of this Rotten Water Lotus. I can’t find the source of the aura. As soon as I managed to dispel it, it reappeared on the plant within a couple days.”

“This Rotten Water Lotus is very important to me. This sudden situation has made me very anxious. Could Uncle Lu and fellow disciples please help me find out what the problem is? Thank you!”

The young cultivator said earnestly.

“Could it be a mutation in the spirit plant?”

“It doesn’t look like it. The black aura is only on the outside of the Rotten Water Lotus. It couldn’t have been an internal change.”

“Could it have been attacked by some kind of strange worm?”

The crowd engaged in heated discussion.

Lu Xuan contemplated for a moment before asking the young cultivator.

“Nephew, do you have some of the black mud from the swamp with you?”

“Yes, yes.”

The young cultivator quickly produced a small bottle from his storage bag. As soon as he popped the bottle cap, more than half of the bottle was filled with black mud.

Black bubbles sometimes formed and burst on the surface of the black mud. When the bottle cap was opened, a pungent stench of decay could be detected. “Uncle lu, do you suspect something is wrong with this black mud?”

Lu Xuan nodded slightly and took out a Spiritual Firefly Grass Seed from his storage bag.

He placed the spiritual seed into the black mud and a hazy green light fell on it.

The Spirit Firefly Grass is a non-grade spirit plant. It has a short growth cycle and simple cultivation methods. Under Lu Xuan’s Tree Life Spell which was at the Great Achievement Realm, as well as a slight influence of Qingmu Origin Energy, the delicate and green Spirit Firefly Grass quickly sprouted from the black mud in no time.

Upon careful observation, there was a faint trace of black aura on the fresh and tender leaves.

“What… what’s going on?”

The young cultivator exclaimed in surprise, and all the cultivators below had also fixed their attention on Lu Xuan’s actions.

“Nephew, didn’t you bring this black mud from somewhere else?”

Lu Xuan, while continuing to grow the Spirit Firefly Grass, asked.

“Indeed, Rotten Water Lotus needs to grow in rotten spirit soil. So, I brought back a lot of rotten mud from a secret land. I didn’t think it would end up harming the Rotten Water Lotus.”

The young cultivator mumbled in disbelief.

“If I’m not mistaken, this black mud carries an impure aura. You can use the corresponding talisman or magical artifacts to dissipate it.”

As the Spirit Firefly Grass grows taller, the black aura on the leaves also becomes denser.

After witnessing this scene, the crowd was convinced by Lu Xuan’s judgement.

“There are various kinds of energy in the environment where spiritual plants grow, among which spiritual energy is the most common.”

“In addition, there are special spiritual energies such as evil energy, yin qi, and ferocious spirits. It is not easy to simply evaluate these energies.”

“The same energy may promote the growth of certain spirit plants while causing severe damage to the majority of others.”

“So in the process of cultivating spirit plants, it’s important to identify the energies around you and provide the spirit plants with the best growing environment.”

Lu Xuan summed up.

The young cultivator gratefully stepped down from the stage.

Afterwards, several other Outer Sect disciples took the stage, either with spirit plants or asking questions directly, which Lu Xuan patiently solved one by one. “Uncle Lu, I’ve had this Purple Sunflower Spirit Seed in my hand for two and a half years. But despite this long time, I haven’t been able to germinate a spirit plant from it. I don’t know where the problem lies.”

“If it can’t be cultivated, the seed’s life will eventually fade away, becoming a waste.”

A handsome young man came onto the stage, holding a deep purple spirit seed in his hand, looking a bit anxious.

Taking the spirit seed from him, Lu Xuan placed it among the spirit soil. It did not take long for him to discover the abnormality within the spirit seed. “Nephew, did the Purple Sunflower Spirit Seed come from deep underground?” “Indeed, it did. I found this spirit seed in a deep cavernous secret land. Does its inability to germinate have something to do with this?”

The handsome young man pondered thoughtfully.

“Purple Sunflowers usually grow under normal light conditions. This spirit seed you found, after generations of adaptation to life deep underground, has perfectly adapted to the underground environment. Taking it back to a regular environment will indeed inhibit the germination.” “So, all you need to do is plant the spirit seed in a cool damp cave. The depth of the spirit soil to plant in should also be about twice what is normally used.”

Lu Xuan proposed a detailed solution. After the handsome young man gratefully stepped down, Lu Xuan turned to look at the crowd.

“This Purple Sunflower Spirit Seed should serve as a lesson for all of you.”

“Cultivating spirit plants also requires personalized teaching; you cannot follow a fixed method and process.”

“You can establish a rather intimate relationship with spirit plants, understand their needs, and adjust the planting method according to their needs, so that they are always in their best growing state.”

Leveraging this example of the ungerminated Purple Sunflower Spirit Seed, he addressed the Outer Sect disciples attending the lecture.

“Uncle Lu, I have a third-grade Qingyu branch that has been behaving abnormally these past two days. Can you please take a look?”

Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded. Lu Xuan turned to look and found a Qi Cultivation Perfection cultivator with a somewhat somber look, looking his way.
