Chapter 297 Phaseless Algae
The outskirts of Kongming Island.
Lu Xuan stood upright on a huge rock, looking at the water below.
Song Yu and two monks from the Song family who looked like they had been exposed to the weather stood behind him, looking nervous.
As far as the eye could see, a nearly half-foot-long Kongming Spirit Fish suddenly shot out of the water and hit a huge rock in front of it.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly, and a fierce spiritual pressure was generated, directly stopping the Kongming Spirit Fish who wanted to harm himself.
With a thought in his mind, the Kongming Spirit Fish slowly floated in front of him, flicking its tail uneasily in mid-air.
The spirit fish was glowing with crystal light and looked extremely beautiful.
Lu Xuan said nothing, and an exorcism talisman quietly appeared in his hand. Holy and pure white light shot out from the talisman and fell on the spiritual fish controlled by him.
Until the white light disappeared, there was still no abnormal reaction on the spirit fish.
The pure jade hanging around his neck also shows that no trace of evil spirits has been found.
"First of all, we can rule out evil spirits."
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, his spiritual consciousness slowly penetrated into the body of the spiritual fish, exploring every piece of flesh and blood and organs in detail.
Still got nothing.
"Get some seaweed for raising spiritual fish."
Lu Xuan said to the two Song family monks behind him who were dedicated to raising Kongming Spirit Fish.
Feeding him when he is in trouble is his long-lasting skill.
He took a handful of light blue seaweed from the dark monk's hand and forced it into the spirit fish's mouth.
His mind was focused on the surface of the Kongming Spirit Fish's body, and a piece of information suddenly flashed through his mind.
[The Sky Spirit Fish is a second-grade monster with extremely fast speed and extremely delicious meat. It contains rich spiritual power and is very popular among monks. 】
[Due to the parasitic phaseless algae in its body, the spirit fish is in a violent state. 】
"Sure enough, there is something hidden! But what is Phaseless Algae?"
Lu Xuan's expression perked up and turned to doubt.
He had searched for the Kongming Spirit Fish in detail before, but he didn't see anything that might be related to the Phaseless Algae.
"Then there is only one possibility. This so-called phaseless algae has a very strong hiding ability, and can even avoid detection by monks in the early stages of foundation building."
Regarding the information that appeared in his mind, Lu Xuan had no doubt that he was there, and he was even more convinced that it was just because he could not find the phaseless algae.
"How can we find out?"
He thought to himself, and was about to put the Kongming Spirit Fish back into the water, when his movements suddenly stopped.
"If you can't find it on the shore in a short time, then it will be even more difficult to find it when you return to the water and the familiar environment of the phaseless algae."
A flash of enlightenment flashed in Lu Xuan's heart.
"At this moment, we should place the phaseless algae in an environment it is unfamiliar with, and see if changing its living environment can serve as a breakthrough for discovering it."
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan retracted the spiritual power that he originally stretched out, fixing the Kongming Spirit Fish in the air.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and under the scorching sunlight, the Kongming Spirit Fish felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I'm going to do an experiment on this spiritual fish."
Lu Xuan ordered directly, his tone brooking no objection.
As soon as he finished speaking, a red long sword appeared in his hand. The long sword shook slightly, the red lines on the sword quietly changed, and hot flames flew out from both sides of the red flame sword.
Under the control of Lu Xuan's spiritual power, the red flames floated below the Kongming Spirit Fish, arranged and combined, and continuously roasted the belly of the Spirit Fish.
"Hidden inside this spiritual fish, I wonder if you are ready to die with it."
Under the continuous grilling of the hot flames, the belly of the spirit fish had a burning smell, and its crystal body became charred black.
At this moment, Lu Xuan saw a layer of transparent liquid suddenly oozing out of the Kongming Spirit Fish. The liquid continued to flow, and finally merged together and turned into a ball of water.
The water droplets are transparent and almost impossible to detect unless they are on the shore.
"Finally found you."
Lu Xuan felt relieved, and a stream of Aoki Origin Qi as thin as a hair emerged from his fingertips.
Since phaseless algae is a spiritual plant, it can be raised and cultivated by the Qingmu Origin Qi, which is condensed from the life essence of Qingxuan Deer and contains the purest vegetation aura in the world.
Sure enough, the subtle green wood energy was absorbed by the transparent water droplets.
His mind was focused on the water droplets, and a thought emerged from his mind.
[Phaseless algae, a second-grade spiritual plant, originates from the deep sea. It is invisible and colorless, and has extremely strong hiding ability. It parasitizes on sea fish and sea animals, and gradually integrates with them. When mature, it can be used to refine magical weapons with hiding properties. Talisman. 】
[It is extremely difficult to survive in a scorching environment. 】
[When I entered your body and became one with you, you didn’t even feel it. 】
"It turns out to be such a strange spiritual plant."
The red flame in Lu Xuan's hand increased in intensity, bursting into scorching heat. A large group of transparent water droplets continued to change, becoming smaller and smaller in size.
In the end, there was only a thin transparent skin left, which kept moving in the hand.
"Uncle Lu, is this the thing that's causing the Kongming Spirit Fish to react abnormally, even to the point of harming itself?"
Song Yu on the side asked aloud, and the other two monks raising spiritual fish also looked curious.
"That's right, this thing is called Phaseless Algae, a special spiritual plant that is invisible and colorless. It has a strong hiding ability and is extremely difficult to detect when it is parasitic in the body of a spiritual fish."
Lu Xuan nodded and explained.
"That's it. No wonder I couldn't find it after trying so many methods. It's just a ball of water droplets when placed in the water. After merging with the spirit fish, it's difficult to distinguish it."
"Even if the spirit fish senses physical abnormalities and wants to avoid risks in various ways, it still can't find a solution."
"This time, thanks to Uncle You, I found the source of the abnormality in the spiritual fish."
Song Yu took a deep breath and said with lingering fear.
If something goes wrong with these Kongming Spirit Fish, resulting in huge losses, then he will have no value in the Tianjian Sect.
"However, why does this strange spiritual plant appear in the waters where the Sky Spirit Fish is raised? No trace of it has been found for many years before."
A dark monk behind him asked doubtfully.
Lu Xuan grasped the thin transparent skin that was constantly flowing in his hands, with an unknown meaning flashing in his eyes.
"This phaseless algae usually grows in the deep sea, and the waters where the spiritual fish are raised are in the offshore area. So what attracted these spiritual plants to travel thousands of miles and travel long distances to find this place?"
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
"Even if a sea beast comes here with a phaseless algae spiritual species, it is unlikely that a large number of spiritual fish will become abnormal in a short period of time."
"Then, there is only one possibility. Someone deliberately spread a large number of phaseless algae spiritual species or plant seedlings in this water area."
"It seems that the main goal is to clear out a large number of Kongming Spirit Fish, and at the same time occupy this water area with Phaseless Algae, change the living environment of Kongming Spirit Fish, and disperse them."
"Of course, it is not ruled out that this strategy was devised to inflict huge losses on the Song family alone."
