I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 385 - 383 Tusilin_l
Chapter 385: Chapter 383 Tusilin_l
“Surely, I will do my part,” uttered Junior Brother Lu, a faint, meaningful smile playing on his lips.
“However, regarding the matter of deriving Fire Essence from this mutant spirit plant, I would greatly appreciate it, Brother Huo, if you kept it confidential.”
Lu Xuan gave these instructions to Fire Scale Child.
“Rest assured, Junior Brother Lu, your secret is safe with me,” Fire Scale Child reassured, softly nodding his head. The realization that Lu Xuan exchanged his mutant spirit plant in order to gain advantages for his sect had eliminated his previous concerns.
“Oh, by the way, Junior Brother Lu, whilst returning to camp this time, I have a favor to ask, besides delivering your sect the mutant spiritual plant for cultivation and taking some time off to rest,” Fire Scale Child began, retrieving a square jade seal from his storage bag. Within the nearly transparent seal lay a faintly dark red piece of grass.
“This mutant spiritual plant was recently discovered in an underground palace of a Blessed Land. Its movements are incredibly elusive, largely undetectable by the majority of Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the three sects, posing us great trouble,” he explained.
“It possesses a remarkably peculiar power that allows it to silently parasitize the bodies of demon beast cultivators, affecting their minds, and in severe cases, directly controlling their bodies,” he added.
“We’ve tried countless methods, but none have proved very effective. Those exorcising and purifying charm techniques have little effect on it.”
“Brother Huo, please let me take a closer look.”
Lu Xuan took the jade seal and studied it intently.
The spiritual plant inside the seal was very long and thin, faintly dark red in color, without roots or leaves, just a single winding thread-like structure. Noticing Lu Xuan’s gaze, it moved slowly like a stealthy snake, maintaining an aggressive posture despite being sealed away.
“By its form, it is indeed peculiar, but there’s not much else immediately apparent. It will require further study and experimentation.”
“However, I do have a question, Brother Huo. Please enlighten me.”
“Please proceed, Junior Brother Lu.”
“As far as I understand, two of our own Golden Core Real People have been developing the blessed land. I assume other sects also have several of them. Surely these Golden Core Real People would have no problem dealing with these mutant spiritual plants. They could handle them effortlessly, couldn’t they?” inquired Lu Xuan, a puzzled expression playing on his face.
“Junior Brother Lu, these mutant spiritual plants pose a problem only when their tracks are covered.”
“Golden Core Real People are primarily focused on deciphering the restrictions of the Blessed Land and would not divert too much of their power to deal with these mutant spiritual plants. Furthermore, these plants cover a wide range of activity. Therefore, we can only dispatch Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the three sects to deal with them,” Fire Scale Child explained, his smile laced with a trace of bitterness.
“Several Foundation Establishment Cultivators have already fallen victim to parasitism by these strange spiritual plants. Thankfully, it was discovered in time. Otherwise, it may have escalated to a life-threatening situation.”
“That’s a relief.”
Lu Xuan nodded, feeling fortunate.
The cultivators attempting to claim the Blessed Land were largely of Foundation Establishment mid-term to late-term levels, yet they were covertly parasitized by these mutant spiritual plants, endangering their lives. It underscored the potential danger posed by these plants.
“Seems like it is much safer to peacefully study the spiritual plants and engage in trading them.”
He thought to himself, looking down at Fire Scale Child.
“Brother Huo, I will study this peculiar spiritual plant as soon as I can, but I cannot guarantee any beneficial results.”
“If I make any discoveries that could help the sect, I will certainly inform you immediately,” Lu Xuan solemnly pledged.
“Thank you, Junior Brother Lu. I’ll be meeting up with fellow sect members in the next few days, and you can contact me through the communication talisman if you make any groundbreaking discoveries.”
Worried that Lu Xuan might not be able to learn too much about the peculiar spiritual plant in a short time, Fire Scale Child left him a communication talisman before bidding him farewell and taking his leave.
Lu Xuan looked in the direction where the fire-red robe had disappeared, opened his mouth slightly, but eventually remained silent.
Brother, what I can tell you now is…
He muttered to himself in his heart.
Returning to his private courtyard, he lowered his head and stared at the square jade seal in his hand, careful to release the seal on the surface.
The faint dark red vine instantly turned into a very subtle red line darted toward Lu Xuan.
There was a ‘ding’ sound.
The vine of the spirit plant hit Lu Xuan’s crystal-like palm, as if it hit a piece of iron, it rebounded with the same speed.
Under Lu Xuan’s Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, a faint red thread fell on the ground, bounced back quickly, and continued to charge towards the demonic vine not far away.
Unable to break the defense, it immediately changed its target, trying to parasitize into the demonic vine.

The gray vine was not frightened but delighted, a deep crack appeared on the vine, as if to welcome the faint red tendril.
How could the demon vine that enjoys feasting on spiritual plants not be surprised when delicious food is delivered to its door?
“Alright, I still need some use of it, so you can’t eat it for now.”
Like a streak of light, Lu Xuan floated to the demonic vine, grabbed the dark red vine, and ignored its attempt to enter his body.
He casually placed a seal, and violently poured a steady stream of spirit rain into the spirit soil beneath the strange spiritual plant.
With his mind focused, detailed information about this mutant spiritual plant flashed through his mind.
[Unknown spiritual plant, mutated over a long period under the influence of a powerful fleshly force, it likes to parasitize in spiritual plant demonic beasts or even cultivators, feeding on their spiritual power vitality, blood essence, etc. The deeper the degree of parasitism, it can even directly control the actions of demonic beasts and cultivators.]
[It usually lives deep in the dark ground and is extremely sensitive to various special sound waves. Under the attack of sonic spiritual power, it will involuntarily reveal its form and curl up into a small ball.]
“The third-grade Tusilin has mutated…”
Lu Xuan murmured to himself.
There are countless strange and unusual spiritual plants in the Cultivation World. Although he often browses the Spirit Plant Scripture in the Scripture Treasury Pavilion, this is the first time he has seen such a high-grade spiritual plant with strange habits.
“With this parasitic ability, to ascend to the third stage is quite rare.”
“It’s a pity that the Illusion Sound Bamboo is left in the cave, otherwise with it alone, it could easily deal with these mutant Tusilin.”
Recalling the fourth-grade Illusion Sound Bamboo in his cave that could imitate all kinds of strange noises, a thought suddenly came to him.
“Hmm, the task that Elder Brother Huo entrusted to me has been completed. The biggest problem is not understanding this strange spiritual plant, but considering when to inform him.”
Lu Xuan was torn inside. If he broke the news too early, it would be hard to explain how he found out about the spiritual plant so quickly. It would attract attention and bring unnecessary trouble.
If it was too late, it might cause loss to the sect, so Lu Xuan decided to wait a few days before contacting Elder Brother Huo.
He sealed the Tusilin back into the jade seal, and noticed the demonic vine drooling at his feet.
There was grey slime all over the ground, which showed how much it wanted to taste Tusilin. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“What, you want to eat? Don’t worry, there will definitely be a chance for you to have a feast.”
Lu Xuan kicked the ever-growing gray vine and said with a smile.
The demon vine had high spiritual intelligence. Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the gray vine immediately pounced on Lu Xuan.
“Roll, roll, roll!”
Lu Xuan looked at the demon vine full of slime with disgust, his face full of revulsion..
