Chapter 1 - The Fields Have Their Own Light Like Jade

  Linyang Market.

  It was just dawn, and the fog had not yet dispersed. The entire market was shrouded in a layer of hazy white air as thin as a veil.

  A small courtyard surrounded by a blue-gray stone wall, the courtyard is about three meters long and two meters wide. Most of the area is gray-black soil, leaving only a narrow bluestone path in the middle.

  In the gray-black soil, some low-grade spiritual plants are planted. Under the silent nourishment of the fog all night, the spiritual plants are full of vitality, lazily stretching their tender green branches and

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

  The young man was sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a gray shirt, tall and slender, handsome, and his eyes were smart and clear.

  It was Lu Xuan who had traveled here for quite some time.

  He was originally an ordinary young man on Earth. He never thought that after waking up, he inexplicably occupied the body of this young man and became an insignificant spiritual plant master among the countless beings in the cultivation world.

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

  started out as a standard person, without a father or mother, alone, with ordinary qualifications and the cultivation level of the second level of Qi training. With years of accumulation, he rented a piece of spiritual field in the market, planted spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs, and tried to survive in this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak and dangers are everywhere. The

  thin mist blowing in the yard made Lu Xuan, who had just woken up, suddenly sober up a lot. He surrounded the spiritual plants and observed them carefully.

  There were 20 to 30 spiritual plants, each with a certain gap between them. They were about one foot high, with slender leaves and a little light white fluorescence on them, like stars dotting them in the white mist.

  These were Lingying grass, a first-level spiritual plant with a relatively low planting difficulty. After maturity, they could be used as materials for refining several kinds of healing pills, and were widely used in the cultivation world.

  In addition to Lingying grass, there were two trees in the yard, one was the Eclipse Moon Tree, and the other was also the Eclipse Moon Tree.

  The Eclipse Moon Tree is a first-level spiritual plant. Under Lu Xuan's careful care, it has grown well and is taller than his head. Among the green leaves, dozens of silver-white fruits like hooks are looming.

  These fruits are called Eclipse Moon Fruits. When they are just formed, they look like crescents. Slowly, the crescents gradually grow larger and become a full moon when they mature.

  Mature Eclipse Moon Fruits can be taken directly, which can slightly increase the spiritual energy in the body of low-level cultivators who practice Qi. They can also be used to refine precious elixirs such as Peiyuan Pills. The

  difficulty of planting and the rarity of the Eclipse Moon Tree are slightly higher than the Firefly Grass, and Lu Xuan has spent the most time on it.

  Both spiritual plants are growing quite well, but Lu Xuan's face shows a trace of worry.

  He quickly came to the west side of the yard, squatted down, pinched the leaf of a Firefly Grass near the stone wall with two fingers, and carefully turned the back over.

  As expected, there were strands of light black lines on the back of the leaf. If Lu Xuan hadn't been careful, the black lines as thin as hair would have been extremely difficult to detect.

  "Compared to yesterday, the number of black lines is obviously a bit more."

  Lu Xuan secretly compared in his heart, looking at the firefly grass eroded by the lines, he couldn't help but sigh.

  When he was taking care of the spiritual plants two days ago, he accidentally found that a firefly grass near the stone wall was in a state of some abnormality. After searching for a long time, he finally found these black lines on the back of the leaves.

  The lines seemed to be integrated with the firefly grass, tightly adhered together, and extremely difficult to separate.

  Lu Xuan was just a low-level spiritual plant master, with an ordinary background and poor relevant knowledge. He didn't know where these black lines came from. There was

  no way to prescribe the right medicine. In desperation, he had to use the spiritual energy in his body to carefully separate the black lines from the back of the leaves. He

  exhausted his spiritual energy and mind to barely clean it up, but when he observed it again the next day, the black lines suddenly appeared again, and the number was increasing day by day.

  "According to this trend, in a day or two, this firefly grass will be occupied by black lines, and it is very likely to spread to the nearby fireflies."

  Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was worried and stood there in a daze.

  He considered pulling out this Lingying grass to prevent the Lingying grass nearby from being stained by the black thread.

  But after a brief consideration, he gave up the idea.

  After all, the origin of the black thread was unknown, and Lu Xuan was not sure how it eroded the Lingying grass. It would be good if it was effective after pulling it out, but if other Lingying grasses could not avoid being eroded after pulling it out, it would be a waste of time.

  "For now, we have to go to the market to find a spiritual plant master with an orthodox background and rich experience to help solve the problem."   

  "These are some spirit stones that I managed to save up with great difficulty... I was originally planning to pay the rent for the

  spirit field in two months." Lu Xuan was only a casual cultivator at the second level of Qi training, and he could not completely own a spirit field that belonged to him.

  He rented this small spiritual field in the yard from a cultivator at the middle level of Qi training in the market, and he had to pay a lot of spirit stones every month.

  "For the next period of time, I can only tighten my belt to make a living."

  He stood up with a resolute look.

  After the spirit plants mature, they can be sold to shops and cultivators in the market. In addition to the rent and the spirit stones needed for daily cultivation, there will be some left.

  But if I use it to ask for help from a senior spirit plant master, I will have to bleed a lot.

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

  The blue-gray stone wall was surrounded by a circle of black thorns, with dense and sharp black thorns, which played a certain protective role.

  However, the defensive ability was better than nothing. It could only protect against gentlemen, not villains, not to mention those strange insects and beasts that were secretive and coveted the spirit plants.

  "After dealing with this matter, it is necessary to save some spiritual stones and get a protective formation to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

  "It is completely unrealistic to rely on this straw puppet to guard the spiritual field."

  Lu Xuan looked at a straw puppet in the corner of the yard.

  The puppet was about three feet tall, leaning against the wall of the yard. Its body was made of unknown hay, with a big head and a small body. On its large and somewhat deformed head, there was a tumor made of gray hay.

  This straw puppet was a second-hand item that Lu Xuan bought at a stall in the market. According to the stall owner, the puppet came from the Qianji Sect in the cultivation world. It has a simple behavior pattern and is often used to guard some lower-grade spiritual fields.

  If it senses that a cultivator or a demon beast has entered the range of the spiritual field, the straw puppet will issue a warning to the owner of the spiritual field. If it finds that the other party has a tendency to harm the spiritual plants in the spiritual field, the straw puppet will take the initiative to attack and trap the other party.

  However, perhaps because this one in the yard is a second-hand item, the warning function is sometimes effective and sometimes not. As for taking the initiative to attack, there is no need to think about it.

  Of course, it also has a lot to do with Lu Xuan himself. Since he came here, he basically stayed indoors and had little communication with the outside world, so no cultivators or monsters entered the courtyard.

  Lu Xuan glared at the grass puppet with a tumor on his head with a look of disappointment. The spiritual energy in his body surged, and a thread of spiritual rain appeared above the firefly grass and the Eclipse Moon Tree, falling on the branches and leaves and seeping into them. Nourished

  by the spiritual rain, the spiritual plants in the spiritual field looked more tender and clean, and the dust-free branches and leaves swayed gently, showing their charm.

  This is the spiritual rain technique that every spiritual plant master must learn. It can integrate subtle spiritual energy into water vapor and nourish the spiritual plants to ensure that they can grow smoothly.

  "Hmm? This firefly grass has entered the mature stage."

  After Lu Xuan irrigated each spiritual plant, he found that on a firefly grass, dots of fluorescence kept flashing, as if they were about to fall off the leaves.

  He hurried back to the house, took out a white jade box, carefully picked the firefly grass, and put it in the jade box.

  The jade box can slow down the loss of spiritual power in the spiritual plant, and can guarantee its medicinal power to a certain extent.

  "What is this?"

  Lu Xuan closed the jade box and was about to leave when he suddenly found that where the firefly grass was originally planted, there was a fist-sized white light ball. The light ball flickered slightly, and bits of spiritual light scattered.

  Lu Xuan reached out curiously and gently touched the white light ball.

  In an instant, countless light points on the light ball poured into his palm, and an idea flashed through his mind involuntarily.

  "Harvest a plant of firefly grass and gain three months of cultivation."

  　The seedlings need everyone to cultivate together. You read on and I will update.
