Chapter 60 Alienated Spirit Rodents

Wanbaolou's reputation is very good in the market. Lu Xuan followed the good advice and listened to the advice of the pretty girl. He handed over three spiritual stones as a deposit and left his identity information.

According to what the girl said, the blood of snake monsters will be transported from other locations in Wanbao Tower within about five to ten days, but Lu Xuan can come and pick up the goods on his own, and make up for the remaining spirit stones based on the quality of the monster blood transported.

Immediately, he returned to the yard with the Kirigakure Mysterious Formation.

When he came back, the grass puppet was still in the corner of the spiritual field. The gray grass tumor on its huge head extended out several gray and black withered grass, slowly and carefully weaving its limbs.

It took half a day's work to knit two arms, and the elbows were not visible yet.

Sensing Lu Xuan's breath, the gray grass weaving movement paused slightly, retracted into the tumor on his head, and turned his head slightly, as if to welcome Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan returned to the house and took out the Kirigakure Mystery Array.

The formation disk was gray-white, with many mysterious and obscure runes drawn on it. A faint mist seeped out from both sides of the runes, lingering in the sky above the formation disk, lingering for a long time.

"The second-grade defensive formation also has a bit of a maze function. Even for high-level Qi training monks, it is not easy to break the formation."

The previous formation outside the courtyard was left by Ya Xing. It was an invisible benefit from Lu Xuan's huge investment in renting the spiritual field. It was a first-grade formation and its defense power could only be considered ordinary.

Now that he has switched to the second-grade Hidden Mist Formation, Lu Xuan feels more at ease and does not have to worry about the spiritual plants in the spiritual field being coveted.

His spiritual power seeped into the formation disk and slowly activated the formation disk according to certain rules.

Many runes on the formation disk lit up, and the light mist above seemed to be blown by the breeze and dispersed in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, a translucent spiritual energy shield appeared outside the courtyard. Lu Xuan continued to adjust it so that the shield could properly cover the entire courtyard.

At the same time, a faint mist emerged from nowhere and quickly enveloped the entire courtyard. If one looked at the spiritual field from above, one could only see a thick white mist. Neither the spiritual plants nor the house could be seen clearly, even if Even if the spiritual consciousness penetrates, it will only fall into the thick fog.

Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness continued to adjust the rune patterns, and the fog shrouded outside also moved and dispersed, as if controlled by an invisible hand.

"Okay, the second-grade formation has been set up. As for the first-grade formation in Yaxing, I will find time to return it to them someday."

Lu Xuan stood in the spiritual field and looked out of the yard.

Under his control, Lingtian was not affected by the fog at all.

After setting up the formation, Lu Xuan rested for a moment and began to check the status of the spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

His mind was focused on Lingzhi, and he quickly learned Lingzhi's immediate status.

When he met someone in need, he would use the Spirit Rain Technique and Mu Sheng Technique to satisfy every subtle need of the spirit plant.

"The rhizome feels a bit heavy, not as heavy as adding roots to the roots. It seems like something is sucking the roots hard."

When passing the blood jade ginseng area, Lu Xuan suddenly noticed something was wrong with a blood jade ginseng.

He obviously kept a safe distance from other blood jade ginseng, but he showed a strange state.

Based on the immediate state of the Blood Jade Ginseng, his spiritual consciousness slowly penetrated into the spiritual soil.

With the perception of spiritual consciousness, Lu Xuan discovered that there was a light black thing attached to the rhizome of Blood Jade Ginseng buried deep in the spiritual soil.

It's like there is a tumor growing on the rhizome of blood jade ginseng. If you look closely, you can realize that the light black tumor is composed of hundreds of tiny insects.

Numerous insects were buried deep in the soil, motionless, absorbing the vitality of the blood jade ginseng. If they hadn't noticed that the immediate state was a little strange, they might not have noticed it until they penetrated deeply into the blood jade ginseng's rhizomes.

"Looking at it like this, it must be a spiritual insect that sneaks into the spiritual field at some point to harm my spiritual plants."

Lu Xuan's expression relaxed. The book "Common Hazardous Monster Insects and Solutions" at home recorded this kind of alien insect.

They move in the soil and like to bite and devour the roots of spiritual plants. In the early stage of the bite, it is generally difficult to find their traces.

The way the spirit-gnawing insects enter the spiritual field is unknown. After all, the previous formation was only a first-class one with limited protection, and it was not open all the time. The spirit-gnawing insects themselves are very small in size and are extremely difficult to completely block. In addition, they are in the soil. Actions inside make it even more difficult to guard against.

Of course, it is also possible that there are rodent eggs left deep in the soil, and after hatching, the blood jade ginseng rhizomes are found.

Although Lu Xuan cleaned the insect eggs in the spiritual field from time to time before, it was difficult to ensure that they were completely cleaned.

He circulated his spiritual power and performed the Earth Drawing Technique.

Although there are not as many experience packs of earth-direction techniques bursting out from the white light group as there are Gengjin Sword Techniques, Lu Xuan's mastery of this technique has also reached the level of minor success.

Under his exquisite control, the spiritual soil moved quietly, completely without disturbing the spiritual insects attached to the blood jade ginseng roots.

They waited until the rhizome was exposed and stimulated by light before they responded.

The light black tumor split instantly and turned into hundreds of tiny black insects. Like a black mist, they made a sharp chirping sound and attacked Lu Xuan from all directions.

Lu Xuan flicked his left hand, and a slender red needle turned into a phantom and stabbed at the spirit-gnawing insects, flying freely in the insect swarm, leaving behind a red line of phantoms.

A few moments later, the red needle flew back to Lu Xuan, with hundreds of tiny spiritual insects stuck in it from the needle all the way down.

"There is something wrong with these spirit rodents. They are very different from what is recorded in the book. I remember that it was recorded that they are not very aggressive."

"And these in the spirit field can turn into a black mist and attack in groups. They are obviously different from normal spirit-gnawing insects."

Lu Xuan looked at the red needle in his hand, and with a movement of his spiritual power, crimson flames appeared on the slender red needle, instantly burning the many tiny spiritual insects that had pierced it into black ashes.

"Based on their mobility, they should not be the spirit rodent eggs left in the spiritual soil before. Otherwise, I would have discovered that they wanted to harm the spiritual plant."

"Then it's only possible that the outside world invaded, but I don't know what the impact was, so there were such big changes."

Thinking of the alienated cultivators that kept appearing in the city recently, Lu Xuan felt something was wrong.

"What evil spirits did the Wang family cause in that new secret realm, and what did they get from it, making the entire city unsafe."

Lu Xuan immediately remembered the scene when the Wang family monks and many casual cultivators came back last time. Listening to the discussion by the monks next to him, it seemed that they had snatched a certain treasure during the process of opening up a new secret realm, and attracted the evil spirits inside, making the place full of evil spirits. The city has not been peaceful for a long time.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Lu Xuan's heart was heavy and he carefully searched every spiritual plant in the spiritual field. Fortunately, no trace of the alienated spiritual insect was found.

Being in such a crisis-ridden cultivation world, Lu Xuan just wanted to plant various spiritual things in peace, but it was difficult to achieve even this small request.

He looked at the second-grade sword grass and dark marrow mushrooms that had been planted in the spiritual field for nearly half a year, and his desire to see them mature as soon as possible became even more urgent.
