You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 947 Brother, please help me too

"Senior Brother Lu is too modest."

"Brother, you were able to improve the sword grass into a fourth-grade sword grass, and you also improved the sword-raising gourd into a fourth-grade sword gourd. We all admire you and feel inferior to you."

Shang Xiuyuan said quickly.

"To be honest, Senior Brother, the three of us have limited talent in spiritual planting, and the sword grass we planted has some problems. Could you please come with us to take a look?"

He extended an invitation to Lu Xuan.

A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face.

He could clearly sense the hidden ulterior motive in Shang Xiuyuan's words.

He understood the other party's reaction.

After all, the three of them were originally the top spiritual plant masters in Huanzhen Sword Peak, but after Lu Xuan parachuted in, their status and treatment were reduced.

For example, the dozens of sword grass spirit seeds obtained earlier would most likely have been divided up by the three of them if Lu Xuan had not appeared.

There is also this superior cave with a large area and abundant spiritual energy, located near the passage to Xinjian Lake. Perhaps the three of them have been coveting it for a long time.

Therefore, even though he knew Lu Xuan's attainments in spiritual plants very well, he still felt a little uneasy.

However, there is no other way. The more capable you are, the more you get. Who can blame Lu Xuan for having attainments in spiritual plants that far exceed everyone else?
"It's true that you invited me to inspect the spiritual plants, but there should also be a temptation in it."

"Well, I'll just go put an end to your little tricks."

"Let me show you what professionalism is."

Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart that he had cultivated countless high-quality sword grasses and was well aware of the possible problems that might arise during the growth of sword grass, so he was full of confidence.

"Okay, then I'll go take a look with my fellow apprentices."

"But I can't guarantee that I can find the problem with the growth of sword grass."

He nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, he followed the three people to a cave.

"Whether in terms of area, concentration or purity of spiritual energy, it is indeed much worse than my own cave."

He secretly sighed in his heart.

"Brother Lu, here."

The old farmer monk led Lu Xuan and others to a spiritual field.

In the area surrounding the spiritual field, sword energy was flying freely, and several sword grasses were planted inside.

One of the sword grasses that looked like a blooming green lotus caught Lu Xuan's attention.

It was exactly the fourth-grade Green Lotus Sword Grass that he had cultivated before, but it was slightly different from when he first cultivated it.

The sword energy around the sword grass seemed chaotic, and the slender sword-shaped petals scattered in all directions, giving Lu Xuan a sense of disharmony.

There was even a faint crack on one of the pale blue petals.

"Brother Lu, this is a fourth-grade Azure Lotus Sword Grass. It is relatively rare among sword grasses of the same rank, and is relatively difficult to cultivate."

"I have been planting it for several years, but recently I found something wrong. When I used sword energy to nourish it, the sword grass did not absorb it completely, and there were even cracks in some places."

"I asked many fellow disciples in Jianfeng, and even consulted a Yuanying uncle who is proficient in spiritual plants, but no one knows the problem."

A trace of regret appeared on the old farmer's face.

Although the Green Lotus Sword Grass is only of the fourth grade, after it is cultivated to maturity and combined with the sword scriptures he has practiced, its value is no less than some ordinary fifth-grade magic weapons. If the cultivation fails, it will be a big loss for him.

"Let me observe."

Lu Xuan squatted down, ignoring the countless tiny sword energies flying around him, and carefully observed the Green Lotus Sword Grass in its growth stage.

"Junior Brother Guo, did you start practicing the Green Lotus Sword Scripture only after you obtained the Green Lotus Sword Grass Spirit Seed?"

He asked solemnly.

"Indeed, is it because I am not proficient in swordsmanship?"

The old farmer monk was stunned at first, and then a look of hope appeared on his face.

Shang Xiuyuan and Yu Qiu Shui on the side were listening attentively.

"It is somewhat related, but this is not the main reason."

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have used too much sword energy to nourish the sword grass in the past few years, right?" "Senior Brother Lu is really amazing!"

Guo Shan couldn't help but sigh.

"After I cultivated this Green Lotus Sword Grass, I saw that it was growing slowly, so I released more sword energy to nourish it on a daily basis."

"Could this be the root cause of the problem with the sword grass?"

He asked Lu Xuan with some anticipation.

"If the sword energy is not refined, the nourishing effect on the sword grass will be somewhat reduced."

"But Junior Brother Guo, you are a little impatient. You didn't practice the sword skills patiently. Instead, you increased the amount of sword energy, trying to make up for it with quantity."

"But it had the opposite effect."

"Of all the spiritual plants, sword grass is extremely difficult to cultivate."

"First, the spiritual plant master needs to be proficient in swordsmanship, and second, the spiritual plant itself has its own special characteristics."

"When nourishing with sword energy, one needs to grasp the degree extremely accurately."

"If the sword energy exceeds the limit, it will damage the sword grass spirit plant. If it is not enough, it will be detrimental to the growth of the sword grass."

"Junior brother, the reason for this is that you are not proficient in swordsmanship, and you have been nourishing the Green Lotus Sword Grass with excessive sword energy for a long time. Over time, it has become increasingly difficult for the Sword Grass to absorb and digest the sword energy. As harmful sword energy accumulates, it will damage the Sword Grass's roots."

Lu Xuan put his hands behind his back and said firmly.

"So that's the reason..."

Guo Shan stood there in a daze, as if thinking about something.

"Senior Brother Lu's attainments in spiritual plants are truly extraordinary. He can actually detect such a minor problem."

Shang Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Among the three, his thoughts were the most complicated. He was happy that a powerful spiritual plant master had come to Jianfeng, but he was also indignant because a large amount of resources had been sucked away by Lu Xuan.

But after seeing Lu Xuan's true spiritual plant level, some strange thoughts in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Brother Lu, you can be so sensitive to such a small problem. The sword grass you planted won't have a 100% success rate, right?"

Yu Qiu Shui on the side asked curiously.

Lu Xuan smiled back and said nothing more.

"Brother Lu, how should I save this Green Lotus Sword Grass? Please give me some advice!"

Guo Shan lowered his head and spoke respectfully, with a hint of begging in his tone.

"It's very simple. Temporarily reduce the supply of sword energy. At the same time, use spiritual rain and mild spiritual springs to nourish the sword grass."

"After persisting for a period of time, the Green Lotus Sword Grass will slowly return to normal."

"Of course, it would be even better if Junior Brother's sword skills could be improved a little bit."

Lu Xuan finally gave a tactful reminder.

"I am not very good at learning, I am sorry to make you laugh."

Guo Shan said with a wry smile.

"Brother, you helped me solve the problem of the Green Lotus Sword Grass. I will always remember this."

"It's easy, don't worry."

Lu Xuan said casually, looking nonchalant.

He had long passed the stage of resorting to special abilities whenever he encountered problems with spiritual plants.

The problem with this Green Lotus Sword Grass is too obvious, so it is not yet the time to use the trump card.

His relaxed look truly showed the demeanor of a master in the eyes of the three people.

"Brother, there are a few spiritual plants in my cave that are not growing well. Could you please help me take a look at them?"

Yu Qiu Shui said in an extremely gentle voice.

"Brother, please help me take a look too."

Shang Xiuyuan gritted his teeth secretly and continued speaking.
