Lin Yang Fang Market. {[Write to here I hope readers remember our domain name]}

As dawn broke, the mist hadn't yet dissipated, shrouding the entire market in a thin veil of hazy white.

A small courtyard enclosed by a wall of bluish-gray stone, about three feet long and two feet wide, with most of the area being grayish-black soil. Only a narrow path of blue stone was left in the middle.

In the grayish-black soil, some low-grade spirit plants were planted. Under the silent nourishment of the mist all night, the spirit plants radiated vitality, lazily stretching their tender green leaves.

With a creak, the stone house at the end of the bluestone path opened, and a young boy walked out.

A youth of sixteen or seventeen, clad in a gray tunic, stood tall and handsome. His eyes were bright and clear.

It has been quite some time since Lu Xuan crossed over.

He was originally an ordinary young man on Earth. Unexpectedly, after waking up one day, he inexplicably occupied the body of this young boy, becoming a negligible Spirit Plant Master among the myriad cultivators in the cultivation world.

After the initial chaos and fear, Lu Xuan gradually adapted to his new identity.

A standard beginning, with no parents or family, completely alone. With ordinary aptitude and cultivation at the second level of Qi refinement, he relied on years of savings to rent a Spirit Field in the market and cultivate spirit grasses and herbs. He struggled to survive in this ruthless world of cultivation, where the weak are preyed upon and danger lurks everywhere.

A thin veil of mist suddenly appeared in the courtyard, jolting Lu Xuan awake. He circled the spiritual plants, observing them carefully.

There were twenty or thirty spirit plants, each with a certain distance between them. They were about a foot tall, with slender leaves that had tiny dots of pale white fluorescence on their surface. In the white mist, they resembled stars dotting the sky.

These are Lingyingcao, first-tier spiritual plants. Their cultivation difficulty is relatively low. After maturity, they can be used as materials for refining various healing pills and are widely used in the cultivation world.

Apart from the spiritfly grass, there are also two trees in the yard, one is an eclipse moon tree, and the other is also an eclipse moon tree.

The Moon-Devouring Tree is a first-order spirit plant. Under Lu Xuan's careful care, it thrives and grows taller than his head. Among its emerald leaves, dozens of hook-like silver fruits appear and disappear.

These fruits are called Eclipse Fruits. When they first form, they resemble a crescent moon. Gradually, the crescent moon gets bigger and bigger until it becomes a full circle when ripe.

Mature moonfruit can be consumed directly, and it can slightly increase the spiritual energy in the bodies of low-level Qi cultivators. It can also be used to refine precious pills such as Peiyuan Dan.

The Eclipse Moon Tree is slightly more difficult to cultivate and rarer than the Spirit Firefly Grass. Lu Xuan put the most thought into the flowers on its surface.

Both spiritual plants were growing very well, but Lu Xuan's face showed a hint of worry.

He strode to the west side of the courtyard, crouched down, and pinched a leaf of a spirit-glow herb near the stone wall with two fingers. He carefully flipped it over on its back.

As expected, there were faint black lines running across the back of the leaf. If it weren't for Lu Xuan's careful attention, these hair-thin black lines would be extremely difficult to spot.

Compared to yesterday, there were noticeably more black fine lines.

Lu Xuan secretly compared in his heart, looking at the Ling Yingcao being eroded by the fine thread, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

He was tending to the spirit plants a couple of days ago when he noticed something amiss with a sprig of Spiritglow Herb near the stone wall. After searching for a long time, he finally found these black fine lines on the underside of its leaves.

The fine lines seemed to blend seamlessly with the spirit grass, clinging tightly together, making it nearly impossible to separate them.

Lu Xuan was just a low-level spiritual planter, from an ordinary background with limited knowledge. He wasn't sure what this black thread was all about.

Unable to directly treat the problem, he could only use his inner qi with caution to carefully separate the black line from the underside of the leaf.

It took a great deal of energy and focus to finally clean it up, but the next day when I went back to check, the black threads appeared again, and there were even more of them than before.

"According to this trend, in one or two days, this plant of spirit firefly will be occupied by the black thread, and it is very likely to spread to nearby spirit firefly plants."

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt worried and stood there blankly.

He had considered pulling out this particular luminous flower, lest the surrounding ones be infected with the black threads.

After a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea.

After all, the origin of the black thread is unknown, and Lu Xuan doesn't know how it corrodes the spirit glowing grass. It's okay if it works after pulling it out, but what if other spirit glowing grasses are still unavoidable from being eroded That would be heartbreaking.

"The best course of action right now is to go to the market and find a reputable and experienced spiritual plant master to help solve this."

"Finally, I'd managed to save up some spirit stones... I was planning on paying the spirit field rent in two months."

Lu Xuan was only a Qi Refinement Second Layer cultivator, unable to fully possess a spirit field that belonged solely to him.

This small patch of spirit field in the courtyard was rented from a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator at the market, costing a hefty sum of spirit stones every month.

"

For the next period of time, we'll have to tighten our belts.

"

He stood up, his expression resolute.

After a spirit plant matures, it can be sold to shops and cultivators in the marketplace. The spirit stones obtained from this sale, besides covering rent and daily cultivation expenses, will still leave some leftover.

But if you want to seek the help of a senior spirit plant master, you'll have to shell out a lot of money.

Lu Xuan made a decision in his heart and looked around.

The bluish-gray stone wall was encircled by a ring of black thorns, densely covered with sharp black spines, serving as a certain degree of protection.

However, the defensive capabilities are barely better than nothing. They can only deter honest people but not cunning villains, let alone protect against those elusive and covetous strange insects and monsters who eye the spirit plants.

After this is settled, I still need to save up some spirit stones and get a protective barrier set up. That way, something like this won't happen again.

"It's unrealistic to rely on this straw golem to guard the Spirit Field."

Lu Xuan looked at a straw man puppet standing in the corner of the courtyard.

The puppet stood three feet tall, leaning against the wall of the courtyard. Its entire body was made of unknown dried grass. It had a large head and a small body. On its abnormally large head, there was a grayish lump wrapped in dried grass.

This straw puppet was bought by Lu Xuan from a secondhand stall in the market. According to the stall owner, the puppet came from the Thousand Mechanisms School of cultivators and had a simple behavioral pattern, often used to guard spirit fields of lower rank.

If it senses that a cultivator or monster beast has entered the Lingtian's range, the Grass Puppet will issue a warning to the Lingtian owner. If it detects that the other party intends to harm the Lingtian spiritual plants, the Grass Puppet will also proactively attack and restrain them.

However, the one in the yard might be secondhand, so its warning function is sometimes there and sometimes not. As for actively attacking, don't even think about it.

Of course, it's also largely due to Lu Xuan himself. Since he crossed over, he has basically been in seclusion, with little communication with the outside world. Therefore, there haven't been many cultivators or monsters entering his courtyard.

Lu Xuan glared at the tumor-headed grass puppet with a look of exasperation. Qi surged within him, and wisps of spiritual rain appeared above the Lingying Grass and the Eclipse Moon Tree, falling onto their branches and leaves, seeping into them.

Nourished by the spiritual rain, the spiritual plants in the spirit field appeared even more tender and clean. Their spotless branches swayed gently, displaying their gracefulness.

This is a must-learn Spirit Rain Technique for every spirit planter. It can infuse subtle spiritual energy into water vapor, nourishing the spirit plants and ensuring their smooth growth.

"Hmm This Spiritlight Grass has already entered its mature phase."

After watering each spirit plant, Lu Xuan noticed that on a patch of Spirit Firefly Grass, tiny lights flickered constantly, as if about to fall from the leaves.

He quickly returned to the house, took out a white jade box, and carefully harvested the spiritual firegrass, placing it in the jade box.

The jade box can slow down the loss of spiritual energy within spirit plants, ensuring to some extent their medicinal efficacy.

What is this

Lu Xuan closed the jade box and was about to leave when he suddenly discovered that where the Lingying Grass had been planted before, there was a fist-sized white light sphere. The light sphere flickered slightly, with tiny sparks of spiritual light scattering away.

Lu Xuan curiously reached out and lightly touched the white orb.

In an instant, countless light spots on the sphere of light surged into his palm, and an idea involuntarily flashed through his mind.

Obtain one Ghostfire Herb, gain three months of cultivation.

The sapling needs to be nurtured by everyone. You read it, and I'll update it.

(The End)
