Chapter 26 - Weaving Grass

  After taking the three red-bearded carp fry, Lu Xuan returned to the courtyard.

  Arriving at the edge of the spiritual spring, the red-bearded carp in the bag seemed a little listless after being bumpy all the way, and the thin red whiskers on both sides of the fish head drooped weakly.

  "I'll give you a luxurious new residence!"

  Lu Xuan poured the three red-bearded carp into the spiritual spring and said with a slightly sour tone.

  If the spiritual spring area was larger and the spring water was deeper, he would have wanted to soak in it.

  The red-bearded carp fell into the spiritual spring and was a little uncomfortable at first, but under the stimulation of the spring water containing weak spiritual energy, it quickly regained its vitality.

  Swimming back and forth in the spring water, the two thin red whiskers floated in the water very comfortably.

  Lu Xuan had some expectations, and his mind was focused on the body of one of the red-bearded carp.

  "Red-bearded carp fry, a non-grade spiritual beast, is quite satisfied with the new environment. It would be even better if some more spiritual rice fell into the spiritual spring."

  A thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.

  "Not bad!"

  Lu Xuan couldn't suppress his excitement and raised his fist vigorously.

  Since we can see the immediate state of the red-bearded carp, it is very likely that a white ball of light will appear when it matures.

  Lu Xuan looked at the three red-bearded carp swimming freely in the spiritual spring, as if he saw that they were nurturing rich treasures for him.

  "It seems that we can raise more spiritual birds and beasts in the spiritual field or spiritual spring."

  He made a decision secretly.

  Recalling the immediate state of the red-bearded carp in his mind, he couldn't help laughing.

  "The three little guys are still thinking that spiritual rice will fall from the sky. If it really falls, it will fall into my mouth first. Let's drink some spiritual spring water without spiritual stones first!"

  He left the spiritual spring and inspected everything in the spiritual field.

  In the spiritual field where the blood jade ginseng was located, Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness sensed that the positions of the twenty blood jade ginseng seeds had shifted, and several pairs of them were close to each other.

  Lu Xuan quickly used the earth-guiding technique to return them to their original positions through the spiritual soil, maintaining a relatively safe distance.

  One hundred firefly grasses have begun to sprout new shoots. The green and slender new shoots are sparsely distributed in the spiritual soil, conveying to Lu Xuan a vigorous growth state.

  The spiritual field is divided into several areas. One of the spiritual fields with slightly richer spiritual power is planted with migrated spiritual plants.

  Among them, the second-grade sword grass occupies a large piece of spiritual soil alone. Occasionally, there will be a trace of sword intent shooting around its straight body like a sword, so it cannot tolerate other spiritual plants growing nearby.

  In the fine red needles of the first-grade red cloud pine, several clusters of flowers are becoming more and more beautiful, and the flower buds are blooming, which is very beautiful.

  Another second-grade dark marrow ganoderma is still accompanied by rotten wood, and the dense dark red mycelium absorbs the rotten spiritual power inside it.

  In the corner of the spiritual field, the grass puppet leaned against the wall, silently familiarizing himself with the new environment.

  The big hole in its chest still exists, which is very eye-catching.

  Lu Xuan came to it and took out a spiritual stone with a little reluctance.

  When raising a straw puppet, you only need to provide a broken spirit to maintain its functions and protect the spiritual field.

  But if you want it to stimulate its own recovery ability, a broken spirit is far from enough.

  He stuffed a spirit stone into the gray grass tumor on the straw puppet's head.

  Then, a weak spiritual power fluctuation came from the huge tumor formed by the gray dead grass.

  Then, two gray-black dead grasses floated out from the left and right of the head, like willow catkins in the wind, slowly floating to the big hole in the chest.

  Starting from the edge of the hole, two gray grasses slowly wove in a cross shape, filling the big hole in the chest bit by bit.

  Lu Xuan couldn't stand its slow weaving movement, so he ran to other parts of the spiritual field and performed a round of spiritual rain technique, and released the earth-attracting technique and Gengjin sword technique according to the needs of the spiritual plants.   

  After nearly an hour, when he looked at the grass puppet again, the work of filling the big hole in its chest had finally come to the final stage.

  Two gray-black dry grasses filled the last gap, and then slowly tied a knot, and the remaining small pieces of dry grass fell to the ground.

  Lu Xuan could clearly feel that the huge head of the grass puppet had shrunk a circle.

  "It's good that it has recovered. I still need you to help me guard the spiritual field."

  Although the spiritual field is now protected by a first-grade protective formation, Lu Xuan has become accustomed to the grass puppet standing in the corner, and is willing to pay a spiritual stone to heal it.

  You know, when he bought this second-hand grass puppet, he spent less than three spiritual stones.

  After inspecting the spiritual field, Lu Xuan opened the formation and came to the market for casual cultivators.

  Taking advantage of this opportunity to move to a new home, he planned to invite Xu Wan, Zhang Xiuyuan, and He Guanshi of Baicaotang to visit his home to thank them for their care and concern for him before.

  Therefore, he came to the market to buy some spiritual rice and spiritual beast meat to make a hearty meal.

  There is a special spiritual rice shop in the market, which sells several kinds of spiritual rice. The lowest price is thirty broken spirits per catty. The most expensive one is a kind of spiritual rice called blood tooth rice, which has full grains and a strong fragrance. It costs four spiritual stones per catty.

  It is said that the more expensive ones are specially supplied to the core members of the big families in the market. Even if ordinary casual cultivators have a lot of spiritual stones, they have no way to buy them.

  Lu Xuan considered it again and again, and finally bought ten catties of spiritual rice with thirty broken spirits per catty, and another two catties of spiritual rice with fifty broken spirits per catty, spending a total of four spiritual stones.

  After buying the spiritual rice, he went to the stall selling spiritual beast meat and bought two catties of porcupine meat and three catties of barbarian beef. He

  also bought more than a catty of green spiritual leaves in one place. The color of green spiritual leaves is like jade. It can be eaten after a little frying. It is crisp and delicious, and can add a trace of spiritual energy to the body of low-level Qi training cultivators.

  Finally, he bought some food that did not contain spiritual energy but was extremely delicious. Lu Xuan then returned home with a lot of bags.

  Bought so many ingredients, almost spent about ten spirit stones, for Lu Xuan who has always been thrifty, it was a huge investment.

  After returning home, he began to process the ingredients and prepare dinner.

  Nearing the evening, Lu Xuan was ready, and estimated that Manager He and others would be here soon.

  Soon, Manager He's energetic voice came from outside the yard.

  "Lu kid, open the door quickly, I'm here to eat!"

  Lu Xuan opened the door and saw a thin old man holding a pot of wine.

  "This Huangqu wine is a ten-year spirit brew, the taste is mellow and long, it can nourish the body, let's have a few cups later."

  Manager He raised the wine pot in his hand.

  "You kid, you rented such a big yard without saying anything, no wonder you opened your mouth so big and swallowed so many spirit firefly grass seeds and blood jade ginseng seeds."

  He looked at the wide spirit field and sighed.

  "Old He, find a place to sit down first, I'll go prepare dinner."

  Lu Xuan said, and then went into the kitchen.

  Before they started cooking, Zhang Xiuyuan's loud voice was heard again.

  "Uncle Lu, my mother and I are here!"

  Lu Xuan went out to greet him, and the silly Zhang Xiuyuan jumped in and hugged his thigh.

  "Congratulations to Uncle Lu on your new home. I will hug your thigh from now on!"

  Behind him, Xu Wan was holding a bamboo basket filled with spiritual fruits, smiling.
