Chapter 665: Spirit Plant Infection
Outside the Cave Abode.
Void Demon Eye hovered high up in the sky, circling the Cave Abode a few times before confirming that there was nothing unusual, Lu Xuan brought the Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub to the edge of the Formation.
They passed through two Fifth-grade Formations and successfully entered the Cave Abode.
“Tweet tweet!”
The familiar voice of the Fat Bird rang out as it dove toward Lu Xuan with the force of a mountain.
The Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub by his feet sensed danger, its body emitting streaks of silver-white lightning that shot towards the Fat Bird.
“It’s alright, it’s alright, this will be your buddy from now on,”
Lu Xuan said, intercepting all the silver-white lightning with one hand and addressing the Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub.
With his other hand, he supported the Fat Bird’s round belly and flung it onto the ground.
The Fat Bird stared with its round eyes, curiously looking at the cub that was smaller than its own paw.
“From now on, it will be a member of the Cave Abode. You’ve been here longer, and given your outgoing nature, I’m entrusting you to take care of it,”
“If anything happens, I will hold you responsible.”
Lu Xuan said seriously to the Fat Bird.
To help the Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub integrate quickly into the Cave Abode’s family of Spirit Beasts, the Fat Bird was the best entry point.
The many Spirit Beasts in the Cave Abode each had their distinct traits; the Cloud Leopard was cold outside but warm inside, extremely aloof, and usually invisible, only occasionally emerging when Lu Xuan appeared.
The Two-headed Juvenile usually stayed among the rocks, a true homebody, the Medicinal Pangolin was like a ghost, addicted to the effects of Pill Toxin, and as for the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect, although it had a decent temperament, given the current strength of the Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub, close interaction could accidentally result in poison-induced death, which would be problematic to explain to Green Horn Thunder Son.
There were also the Fire Separation Flood Dragons, Rock-shell Turtles, etc., who lived primarily in the small lake; the Rock-shell Turtle would be a fine playmate, except their living habits rarely intersected.
After consideration, the Fat Bird seemed most suitable.
Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the Fat Bird hurriedly nodded and gently pecked at the cub’s tiny body, indicating for it to come onto its feathered back.
The cub looked at Lu Xuan, and seeing nothing unusual, hesitated briefly before jumping onto the Fat Bird’s broad, light blue wings.
A gust of blue wind swept through; the Fat Bird soared high into the sky with the cub, circling above the Cave Abode.
Before long, the Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub landed on the ground, its limbs trembling slightly, yet its eyes sparkled with excitement.
That day, as he was busily cultivating spiritual plants in the Spirit Field, a crisp voice came from outside the Cave Abode.
“Friend Lu, are you in the Cave Abode? This is Zhang Jiuzong, currently serving in the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce; we have met once before.”
Upon hearing this, an image of a scholarly middle-aged man appeared in Lu Xuan’s mind, possessing mid-term Golden Core cultivation, and considered as one of the upper echelon in the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce.
With a flash, he moved to the edge of the Cave Abode, briefly scanned with his spiritual sense to confirm there were no anomalies, and then invited the middle-aged man inside.
“Friend Zhang gracing my humble abode truly brightens it.”
He said with a smile to the scholarly middle-aged man.
“Friend Lu is being modest. Your Cave Abode has truly broadened my horizons, this is the first time I’ve seen so many rare spiritual plants cultivated together,”
Zhang Jiuzong said with hands clasped.
“May I know the purpose of Friend Zhang’s visit?”
Lu Xuan brought over some Spiritual Fruit Spiritual Tea and curiously asked.
“Naturally, the Commerce Association has some matters and requires Friend Lu’s assistance.”
Zhang Jiuzong put down his tea cup and spoke earnestly.
“Please speak, Friend Zhang. I will do my utmost to help,”
Seeing his seriousness, Lu Xuan sat up straight and spoke gravely.
“It is like this—the Commerce Association’s influence extends across multiple realms, owning many Secret Lands and Blessed Lands that produce various cultivation resources.”
“Recently, a Blessed Land planted with numerous Fifth Quality Spirit Plants encountered an accident; the plants inside seem to have been stimulated by something and are showing signs of decay and death.”
“A decline in Fifth Quality Spirit Plant group?”
Lu Xuan asked in astonishment; although not cultivated by himself, as a Spirit Plant Master, such news still pained him.
“Exactly, the Spirit Plant Master who was caring for those plants tried everything possible but failed to find the cause,”
“In the two years since you joined the Commerce Association, your achievements have been remarkable, and your proficiency in cultivating spiritual plants can be described as perfectly proficient, so we humbly request your assistance to identify the problem impacting the spiritual plants,”
Zhang Jiuzong spoke in a solemn tone.
