Chapter 97 Decision

"Crack!"

A piece of dark ore the size of a fist was easily pinched off by a huge black claw.

The iron claw crab cub raised a pair of claws like swords towards Lu Xuan, its eyeballs bulging as if with disdain.

"I haven't done it for a while, and my skills are improving!"

Lu Xuan sighed with a smile, and sent the fine iron ore divided into two to the claws of the iron claw crab.

Two parts are divided into four parts, and four parts are divided into eight parts. The size of the ore becomes smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye. The chelicera crab cubs tirelessly pinch off the overstretched ore and are full of toughness.

Along with the clicking sounds, Lu Xuan's thoughts were wandering.

This time he was invited to the secret realm, and he felt that the casual cultivators were involuntarily.

I usually farm peacefully, do not make enemies with others, and do not get into any disputes over interests. I just show my identity as a spiritual planter with good planting talent.

In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, he also established a certain cooperative relationship with Baicaotang, the foundation-building alchemist, and affiliated himself with Baicaotang.

But when the Wang family monk came to invite him, he still couldn't help himself. Even if he didn't want to go to the secret realm to help identify the spiritual plants, he had to agree.

The helplessness of the casual cultivators at the bottom is vividly reflected.

After this trip, he had the idea of ​​leaving Linyangfang City.

Baicaotang recommended himself to the Wang family. No matter what the purpose was, it was obvious that it would cause trouble for him, and the only friendship between the two parties was lost.

Of course, this does not affect his attitude towards He Guanshi. Over the years, the thin old man has taken care of himself and cared about him.

As for the Wang family, two high-level qi-training monks were killed in the secret realm this time. In anger, they will definitely come to question themselves. Even if they have a clear conscience, they may bring disaster to Chi Yu.

But leaving Linyangfang City, where to go is another question.

Change to a new city?

The world is as dark as crows. Lu Xuan guessed that even if he changed to another city, he would not be able to change the fact that he was restricted by others.

Find a mountain forest, live a secluded life, and cultivate spiritual plants alone?

It is a bit unrealistic. First of all, cultivating spiritual plants requires pure spiritual energy, and it is best to cultivate spiritual fields near spiritual veins. Secondly, if you are alone outside, you may encounter evil spirits and monsters. Finally, it is difficult to obtain high-grade spiritual seeds.

In this case, the best place to go is to enter the sect.

With Lu Xuan's current cultivation level of the eighth level of qi training and his unique and superb skills in cultivating spiritual plants, he is qualified to join the sect.

The benefits of entering a sect are obvious. The spiritual energy is purer and richer, which is conducive to the growth of spiritual plants. It also provides a safe and stable shelter environment. It is also possible to obtain high-grade spiritual seeds, young spiritual beasts, etc.

After making the decision, Lu Xuan's first thought was the Tianjian Sect mentioned by the cold female cultivator.

With the Qingyun Order given by her, it will be much easier for him to join the sect. Lu Xuan is also very interested in the mutant sword grass mentioned by the female cultivator.

"Next, it's time to make preparations to leave Fangshi and solve the problem with the Wang family."

He stood up and turned his attention to the iron claw crab cub at his feet.

The pair of chelicerae were already trembling and shaking in the air, but whenever a fine iron stone stretched out, they would always be tempted to violently pinch it off.

Lu Xuan threw it into the Lingquan Pool, collected the fine iron gravel, opened the Mist Hidden Formation, told the Grass Puppet to take good care of the Lingtian, and took the Cloud-Stepping Lynx to the Baicao Hall.

In Baicao Hall, the aroma of medicine was strong. Lu Xuan walked into the door and saw the thin old man in a daze in front of the counter.

He walked up to the old man and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

When Guanshi He came back to his senses and saw Lu Xuan, his eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face.

"Boy Lu, you are finally back!"

"I heard that you went to that secret place, and I have been worried. Just come back, just come back."

The thin old man gently patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry to bother you so much."

Lu Xuan felt a sense of warmth in his heart, bowed his head and said gratefully.

He Lao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered to Lu Xuan.

"A spiritual planter who entered the secret realm together said that you were invaded by evil spirits in the secret realm. What happened?"

"It's true."

Lu Xuan nodded heavily.

"At that time, under the leadership of the Wang family monks, we were picking and processing spiritual plants somewhere in the secret realm. Suddenly one day, we discovered that a spiritual planter had disappeared inexplicably."

"Soon after, a high-level qi-training monk from the Wang family discovered that his companion was invaded and contaminated by evil spirits, and the two of them fought to the death. We spiritual planters, who have low cultivation and are not good at fighting, were worried about being affected, so we all fled separately."

"I don't know what happened next. After I escaped from the secret realm, I tried to find a few monks. I was lucky enough to be taken out of the secret realm and back to Fangshi."

Lu Xuan told the truth, but concealed a few key points.

Discover the evil spirit, report it to Li Jianfeng, kill Li Jianfeng who was invaded by the evil spirit, escape the evil spirit, and eliminate several teams of monks with evil intentions...

The biggest lie is not that there are nine truths and one falsehood, but that they are all true, but when combined together they become lies.

He learned from Guanshi He that besides Lu Xuan, there were already five or six spiritual planters who had returned. Among the remaining two in Baicao Hall, only He Ping had not returned.

Lu Xuan felt a little at ease. After adding a few more people, what he said became more credible. At the same time, the risk of being blamed by the Wang family was also equally distributed.

He paused, looking hesitant, and finally gritted his teeth and said to the thin old man.

"He Guanshi, He Ping in the hall may not come back. I took a look from a distance when I was escaping, and found that he was being targeted by evil spirits, and there is a high probability that something unexpected happened to him."

"Really? In this case, the Wang family won't be able to give us an explanation."

He Ping is related to the alchemist in the hall, and his low position is unusual.

"There is one more thing I must make clear. When we were picking and identifying spiritual plants, Wang Ruhai, who was supposed to stay in the camp with the Wang family, went out to explore the secret realm without permission, and thus became contaminated with evil spirits, which led to this disaster."

"Is this true?" Manager He asked seriously.

"The other spiritual planters can testify."

"In this case, the nature is different."

If it was simply invaded and contaminated by evil spirits, it could be said to be an accident, and the Wang family would be qualified to question the surviving monks.

But because Wang Ruhai did not assume the responsibility of escorting the spiritual planters, but instead caused evil spirits due to his own dereliction of duty, the disaster had nothing to do with Lu Xuan and others.

On the contrary, the death of the spiritual planter must be blamed on Wang Ruhai of the Wang family.

Each of the more than ten spiritual planters who went to the secret realm was a treasure of the major forces in the city. Losing any one of them would cause great losses.

After knowing that the negligence of the Wang family monks led to this result, the other families and forces in Fang City will never let it go and will definitely seek an explanation.

With the game between the two sides, there was no time to take care of a small casual cultivator like Lu Xuan.
