I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 583: Chapter 581: Little Thunder Island_1

“If it’s a mutated spiritual plant, that would explain things.”

“Most Spirit Plants remain rooted in Spirit Soil, no matter how fast or far their vines and branches grow, their range is still limited.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

After confirming the location of the Thunder Hidden Vine with his spiritual sense, he sent a message to Wang Yanzhong:

“Fellow Daoist Wang, this mysterious demonic python has a peculiar origin. If I’m not mistaken, it might be a Mutant Spiritual Plant.”

“A Mutant Spiritual Plant?”

Wang Yanzhong, who was repelling a demonic python, looked surprised.

“Friend Lu, do you have any evidence? As far as I know, spiritual plants shouldn’t have such strong offensive abilities. Moreover, their speed and range of activity are not too dissimilar to demonic beasts.”

His tone was filled with doubt as he asked Lu Xuan.

“I don’t have solid evidence, only the instinctual intuition of a Spirit Plant Master, with a fair amount of certainty.”

“I have cultivated a large number of spirit plants and have a deep understanding of them, hence this conjecture.”

Lu Xuan, of course, was not going to reveal his unique ability, his strong spiritual consciousness, or his Pupil Skill, so he spoke evasively.

“The intuition of a Spirit Plant Master…”

Wang Yanzhong appeared thoughtful.

Thus, it slated that Lu Xuan was able to detect the mysterious demonic python beforehand.

He had initially thought that Lu Xuan possessed a superior spiritual sense to his own and that’s why he was able to find the python first, but now it seemed that there was another depth to it.

“If it is a mutated spiritual plant, does Friend Lu have any countermeasure?”

Wang Yanzhong transformed his body into several afterimages and repelled the python close to Lei Zheng with a thunderbolts. Simultaneously, he turned to ask Lu Xuan.

“I can’t locate their exact positions. However, the roots of the plants are basically fixed. We can filter out the locations of the spirit plants by using a range-based technique.”

Lu Xuan made a suggestion.

“Fire or Ice System Techniques would be best.”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

Wang Yanzhong nodded, quickly took out a Red Fulu from his storage bag, and stimulated it with his spiritual power.

Suddenly, countless strands of crimson flame surged out, forming a strong, precise fire net sweeping forward.

Although the Mutant Thunder Hiding Vine possessed a strong offensive capacity, it had not evolved the spiritual intelligence necessary to dissolve the fire net beforehand. The python-like transparent vine didn’t wildly rush toward the flames until the fire net was about to scorch it.

However, Fire System Techniques inherently restrained spirit plants, and given that the Thunder Hidden Vine had nowhere to hide and had lost its potent method of ambush, it was quickly exterminated by the advancing Wang Yanzhong.

He followed the same method, using a series of Fire Talismans to reveal the near-transparent and well-hidden Mutant Thunder Hiding Vine one after another before eliminating them forcefully.

Lu Xuan also used Talismans to identify and easily dispose of several Mutant Thunder Hiding Vines.

“It’s a pity that there were only these plants and no Thunder Hidden Vine spirit species found in this area.”

He returned to the group, lamenting internally.

While clearing the Mutated Spiritual Plants, he had the Demonic Vine, which had shrunk and hid in his robe, carefully sense the surrounding area to see whether there were any Thunder Hidden Vine spirit species around, but unfortunately, it drew a blank.

While he was sighing, suddenly, thousands of snow-like thunder patterns in front of him lit up together. Thin thunderbolts shot out, connecting to each other, forming a Door of Thunder.

“Alright, the prohibition outside the medicine garden has been cracked.”

The three people, Luo Ming, stood up together. Looking at the Door of Thunder, they spoke in a deep voice, their expressions showing a sliver of relief.

“Thank you for your hard work, fellow Daoists.”

Lu Xuan smiled and said.

“It was thanks to our five working as one, with you two, Friend Lu, contributing significantly as well.”

“Especially you, Friend Lu, who realized that the demon python was actually a Mutant Spiritual Plant, easily solving the problem and preventing us from being ambushed during the prohibition break.”

The one-eyed middle-aged man Luo Ming looked at Lu Xuan, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

Lei Zheng and Yuan Shuang Ling felt the same way.

Despite focusing on breaking the prohibition, they were well aware of what was happening outside and naturally understood how skilfully Lu Xuan had dealt with the ‘demon python’ problem, providing them with a safe environment to break the prohibition.

“These mutated vines are extremely tough and contain a certain amount of Thunder spirit breath, with an extremely strong ability to hide, which can be used to forge some Special Magical Instruments.”

Lu Xuan and his partner took out the Thunder Hiding Vine vines they had collected, totalling twelve pieces, and placed them on the ground.

The vines were extremely inconspicuous in the thunderbolt, with faint thunder patterns scattered all over them. If one was not careful, they could miss them entirely.

“Three of us break the prohibition, two guard it, among them, Friend Lu had done a great job noticing where the so-called demon python originated from, allowing the three of us to easily break the prohibition.”

“Friend Lu gets three sections, the other four get two pieces each, the remaining section can be given to anyone who wants it, as long as they give the others some Spirit Stones, what do you all think?”

Luo Ming put forward his opinion on how to handle the Thunder Hidden Vine vines.

The other three had no hesitation and they divided the spoils between them quickly.

“After entering the Ancient Herb Garden, if there happens to be danger inside, we must join hands to confront our enemies first, then look for the treasure.”

“If it’s safe, everyone will use their skills, and we’ll see who has the deeper fortune.”

All of Lu Xuan’s group nodded in agreement.

Following behind Luo Ming, he passed through the Door of Thunder.

A faint tingling sensation enveloped his body, and he found himself in a new world.

In the Sea of Thunder, several small islands suspended in the air. Among them, there were floating bridges connecting the islands, where various Spirit Thunder emerged, either swirling around the island like fish or ruthlessly striking down directly to the center of the island.

The Thunder Island was filled with numerous powerful restrictions and as Lu Xuan used the “Breaking Illusion Eye Technique”, he spotted traces of spirit plants and demon beasts.

“I didn’t expect the Ancient Herb Garden to be like this…”

Lu Xuan commented softly in his heart.

He had originally thought that the so-called Ancient Herb Garden was nothing more than an enlarged Spirit Field cave dwelling, but he hadn’t expected this strange scene before him.

“My fellow daoists, shall we all step onto the first Thunder Island together or would anyone prefer to go alone?”

There was a staircase made of floating stones leading up from each island. However, based on the appearance of the emerging thunder on the staircase, climbing up was not going to be easy.

“Let’s first all go to one island together, assess the situation, and then make a decision.”

Lei Zheng spoke up.

“I have no objections.”

Lu Xuan quickly said. Although he was confident his strength was stronger than the rest combined, the unknown state of the island meant that if they encountered an overwhelming Demon Envoy or Demon Beast, it would be safer to run together, outpacing his four companions if necessary.

As long as he could run faster than his teammates, he wouldn’t be the most endangered.

“Alright, let’s go together.”

Wang Yanzhong seemed to have considered going alone but upon reflection, changed his mind.

There were several Thunder Islands anyway, and one could always explore them alone whenever they felt like it.

The white-haired old woman nearby also nodded in agreement with a smile.
