Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Nan Fengxue sniffed gently and said, "I heard that if you take Lingxi fruit after it matures, it can make you hear and see clearly, which is very beneficial for cultivation."

Li Yi introduced: "Yes, but the timing of picking Lingxi fruit is very critical. If you pick it too early, the medicinal effect will be insufficient, and if you pick it too late, the fruit will fall off automatically."

Then, they came to the Qingling grass area. The Qingling grass had slender leaves and was emerald green, swaying gently in the breeze, like a group of green elves.

"This Qingling grass can cure all kinds of poisons and is an indispensable material in the refining of immortal sect elixirs." Li Yi said, "But it is very susceptible to insect pests, so we need to keep an eye on it."

Jiang Qiong looked around and asked, "Manager Li, what are the main tasks in taking care of these spiritual plants on a daily basis?"

Li Yi patiently explained: "You need to check the growth of spiritual plants every day, adjust the spiritual energy and irrigate the spiritual liquid according to the needs of different spiritual plants. If you encounter pests and diseases, you must use medicine or cast spiritual plant spells to drive them away in time. In addition, you must prevent outsiders from breaking in and causing damage."

Lang Nana patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, Manager Li, I have some experience in spiritual plants, and I will definitely protect these spiritual plants with everyone."

Under the leadership of Li Yi, the three of them visited other spiritual plant areas and gained a deeper understanding of the situation in the spiritual medicine garden.

Afterwards, Li Yi took them to a small courtyard:
"This is where you will live in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. If you have any questions in the future, you can always come to me."

After Li Yi left, the three of them walked into the courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was very tidy, with three rooms arranged in a "品" shape.

Jiang Qiong looked at the yard and said, "From today on, we are going to do a big job here."

Nan Fengxue smiled and nodded: "Well, I believe that with our participation, the Spiritual Medicine Garden will get better and better."

Lang Nana couldn't wait any longer and pulled their hands, "Come on, let's go get to know other disciples and exchange experiences in caring for spiritual plants."

The three of them came to a spiritual plant care area where a group of disciples were busy.

Seeing them coming, they all stopped what they were doing.

Jiang Qiong stepped forward and said politely, "Dear fellow disciples, we are new here to help take care of the Spiritual Medicine Garden. Please take care of us in the future."

A young female disciple smiled and said, "You are the senior brothers and sisters from the Casting Pavilion. I have heard of your great names for a long time. With your coming, we have a backbone."

Everyone gathered around and started talking to each other. Lang Nana quickly became one with everyone and shared her experience in cultivating spiritual plants.

Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue listened carefully to the students talking about the difficulties and problems in their daily work.

At this time, a disciple came running over: "It's bad, a strange insect was found in the spiritual plant area in the east, and many leaves of the spiritual plants have been eaten."

Everyone's faces changed, and Jiang Qiong immediately said, "Let's go and take a look."

When we arrived at the spiritual plant area in the east, we saw that the leaves of a spiritual plant were covered with dense small holes, and a kind of black insect was frantically gnawing at the leaves.

Lang Nana squatted down and observed the insect carefully, frowning: "This is a soul-eating insect. It reproduces very quickly and is resistant to ordinary insect repellent spells."

A trace of worry flashed across Nan Fengxue's eyes: "What should we do? If we don't control it in time, the entire spiritual medicine garden may be in trouble."

Jiang Qiong thought for a moment and said, "Nana, you are most familiar with spiritual plant spells, do you have any ideas?"

Lang Nana stood up, her eyes showing determination: "I will try to use the principle of mutual promotion and mutual restraint of spiritual plants to summon some spiritual plants that can restrain the soul-eating insects."

As she spoke, she waved her hands and muttered something. After a while, some slender vines slowly emerged from the ground. The vines were covered with thorns and the leaves were dark red. As the vines grew, the air around them seemed to become heavier.

The soul-eating insects sensed the threat and crawled towards the vines. However, when they came into contact with the vines, they immediately made a "sizzling" sound and their bodies were gradually corroded. Seeing this, the disciples showed surprised expressions.

"That's amazing, Senior Sister Nana!"

"Yes, thanks to Senior Sister Nana, otherwise it would be very troublesome this time."

Lang Nana wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile: "Don't relax, we have to continue observing and make sure the soul-eating insects are completely eliminated."

After some efforts, the soul-eating insects were finally wiped out. Everyone was filled with joy as they watched the spiritual plants regain their vitality.

Jiang Qiong looked at the busy disciples and said to Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana, "This time, thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, we must unite even more in the future to protect this spiritual medicine garden."

Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana nodded in agreement.

In the following days, the three of them devoted themselves to the work of the spiritual medicine garden. They carefully cared for the spiritual plants with their disciples and passed on their own experience and skills.

One day, while on patrol, Jiang Qiong discovered that the growth rate of the spiritual plants in a Lingxi fruit area had slowed down significantly, and the fruits were smaller than those in other areas.

He immediately called Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana.

Lang Nana carefully checked the roots and soil of the spiritual plant, and checked the flow of spiritual energy around it. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The spiritual energy here seems to be a little disordered. Maybe something underground is affecting the gathering of spiritual energy."

Nan Fengxue suggested: "How about we try to use our spiritual power to sense the situation underground?"

Jiang Qiong nodded, and the three of them simultaneously activated their spiritual power, extending their perception underground. After a moment, Jiang Qiong's face changed: "There is a dark force below, which is constantly eroding the spiritual energy."

Lang Nana frowned. "Could it be the Shadow Alliance's doing? They have been eyeing the resources of the Immortal Sect."

Jiang Qiong clenched his fists and said, "No matter who they are, we must not let them destroy the spiritual medicine garden. Let's inform Manager Li about this first, and then make plans."

After Li Yi learned about this, his face became serious: "If this is really a conspiracy of the Shadow Alliance, we can't take it lightly. I will report it to the Immortal Sect right away. You should pay close attention to the changes in the spiritual plants and try to stabilize the spiritual energy."

The three returned to the spiritual medicine garden and began to study how to stabilize the spiritual energy.

Based on his understanding of weapon refining formations, Jiang Qiong tried to set up some small spirit gathering formations around the spirit plant area to guide the flow of spiritual energy.

Nan Fengxue used ice magic to adjust the temperature and humidity of the soil to create a better growth environment for the spiritual plants. Lang Nana continued to cast spiritual plant magic to enhance the resistance of the spiritual plants.

With the efforts of the three, the growth of the spiritual plants gradually improved, but the dark power underground still existed. One night, Jiang Qiong was resting when he suddenly felt a strong fluctuation. He immediately got up and woke up Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana.

"Oh no, the dark power underground seems to be about to erupt." Jiang Qiong said solemnly.

The three of them quickly came to the Lingxi fruit area, only to see the ground begin to tremble slightly, and black mist rose from the ground. Lang Nana's face turned pale: "This dark power is stronger than we imagined."

Jiang Qiong drew out his soft sword, and the sword was shining with a cyan-gold light: "No matter what, we must protect the spiritual medicine garden."

Nan Fengxue formed seals with her hands, and icicles condensed around her: "I will do my best to assist you."

Lang Nana also released the power of the spiritual plant, and the vines spread rapidly on the ground, trying to stop the spread of the black mist. At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance. It turned out that Li Yi came with a group of disciples of the Immortal Sect.

"Let's work together and never let the dark forces succeed!" Li Yi shouted loudly.

Everyone worked together to start a fierce battle with the dark forces. Jiang Qiong's sword flashed like lightning, constantly slashing at the black mist; Nan Fengxue's ice spikes turned into cold lights, freezing the dark breath in the mist;

Lang Nana's vines are like green barriers, blocking the dark forces outside the spiritual plant area.

The disciples also cast spells and fought tenaciously against the forces of darkness.

The battle lasted all night, and when the first ray of sunlight shone on the spiritual medicine garden, the black fog finally dissipated. Everyone sat on the ground exhausted, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory.

Jiang Qiong looked at the spiritual medicine garden that had returned to peace, feeling deeply moved: "Thanks to everyone this time, we successfully protected the spiritual medicine garden."

Nan Fengxue looked at his companions and disciples with a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Yes, as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

Lang Nana smiled and said, "That's right, and after this battle, our strength has also been improved. We will be able to better protect the Spiritual Medicine Garden in the future."

After this incident, the Immortal Sect was even more appreciative of the performance of the three people.

After successfully repelling the mysterious dark force, the spiritual medicine garden seemed to be reborn and was once again shrouded in tranquility and peace.

Under the meticulous care of three experts, Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana, as well as many disciples of the Immortal Sect, the spiritual plants in the garden seemed to be infused with vigorous vitality and were showing unprecedented vitality.

The leaves of the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum are becoming more and more dazzling, each leaf is flashing a soft and mysterious blue light, the halo is like flowing stars, as if telling the mystery of the accumulation of years.

The Lingxi fruit is becoming fuller with everyone's careful care. Its skin exudes a metallic luster, like a carefully polished gem hanging on the branch, extremely tempting.

As the breeze blew, the Qingling grass swayed gently in the wind, and the slender leaves rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound, just like green elves dancing. At the same time, the fresh medicinal fragrance it emitted filled the entire spiritual medicine garden, refreshing and making people feel relaxed and happy.

However, this beautiful and peaceful time did not last long. One afternoon, the sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sun poured down without reservation, scorching the earth.

Everything in the spiritual medicine garden was covered with a layer of dazzling golden color; even the air seemed to be distorted by the heat wave.

At this time, Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana, who were busy in the spiritual planting area, suddenly heard a noisy and urgent sound coming from a distance. The sound was mixed with the anxious shouts of the disciples of the Immortal Sect, as if they were facing a great crisis.

Jiang Qiong's hand, which was originally carefully examining the roots of the spiritual plant, suddenly stopped. His heart tightened, and a strong ominous premonition quickly enveloped his heart like a dark cloud.

"Oh no, I'm afraid something has happened again."

He said in a deep voice, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character in an instant. The three of them looked at each other quickly, and a trace of solemnity and determination flashed in each other's eyes.

Without much talk, they immediately put down the work at hand, turned around, and ran towards the source of the noisy sound.

When they arrived at the scene, a chaotic scene instantly came into view.

I saw a group of dog-sized creatures, surrounded by blazing flames, rushing towards the spiritual medicine garden in a crazy manner.

These creatures are none other than the fire rats. Their eyes are filled with a strange blood red, as if they were controlled by some evil force. They constantly emit sharp and piercing "squeaking" sounds from their mouths. The sound seems to be able to penetrate the human eardrums, making people shudder.

Wherever they passed, the land was burned black, the originally fertile soil became dry and cracked, and the air was filled with a pungent and choking smell of burning, as if a terrible disaster had just struck.

The number of these fire rats is extremely large, and they are densely gathered together, like a surging, rolling wave of fire, which is about to rush into the spiritual plant area mercilessly and bring devastating disaster to the spiritual plants in the garden.

"These are fire rats! How could they appear here, and there are so many of them!" Lang Nana's face was full of shock, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes full of worry and fear.

She had seen records about fire rats in the ancient books of the Immortal Sect, and knew very well that these rats were extremely greedy by nature and had an almost crazy desire to destroy all kinds of spiritual plants.

Once they are allowed to rush into this precious spiritual medicine garden, those spiritual plants that have consumed countless efforts of everyone and carry the hope of the Immortal Sect will be eaten up in a short time and turned into a wasteland.

Nan Fengxue's expression instantly became solemn, and her ice-blue eyes flickered with a vigilant light, like stars in a cold night, revealing a hint of chillness.

"Looking at their posture, they are obviously coming for the spiritual plants. These fire rats are extremely difficult to deal with, and ordinary means of attack are difficult to cause effective damage to them."

Her voice was cool and steady, yet it revealed a hint of worry.

Jiang Qiong stared at the flaming rats that were coming like a tide with sharp eyes, and drew out his soft sword without hesitation.

In an instant, the cyan-gold light on the sword became more and more dazzling. The light was like a burning flame, reflecting his steel-like face and outlining his tall figure.

"We can't let them get close to the spiritual plants. Nana, activate the garden protection formation. Fengxue, let's help the formation exert its power together."

His voice was firm and powerful, resounding like a loud bell, with unquestionable determination.

Hearing this, Lang Nana immediately put her full attention into action. She danced her hands quickly, her ten fingers fluttering like nimble butterflies, muttering to herself, and a series of mysterious spells came out of her mouth.

As she moved, the formation runes that were originally hidden underground and in the cracks of rocks around the spiritual medicine garden gradually lit up. The faint lights intertwined like silk threads, gradually forming a faint protective barrier that exuded a mysterious aura.

This garden protection formation was designed with great effort by the ancestors of the Immortal Sect. It contains a powerful and mysterious spiritual power, but it has been dormant on weekdays. Now, under Lang Nana's exquisite urging, it slowly wakes up and emits waves of powerful pressure. (End of this chapter)
