âA sprite with the strength of a Semi Fifth Rank Demon Beast?â
Lu Xuan stared at this smirk-grinning ghost-like enemy named Thunder, feeling a sense of awe.
âBorn from thunderboltsâ¦no wonder it doesnât have any physical form, it can freely condense and dissipate its bodyâ¦â
âIts aggression is not strong, thatâs somewhat relieving, no need to exhaust strength to deal with a Semi Fifth Rank sprite.â
âHmm, If I feed it one or two more Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds, I might be able to win its favor, and it could help me obtain unexpected gains from this Ancient Herb Garden.â
A thought flashed through his mind and immediately he took out a Silver White Lotus Seed.
âHungry, arenât you? Would you like to eat?â
His tone was soft, accompanied by an extreme temptation.
The ghost-like enemy named Thunder had a high Spiritual Intelligence. Upon hearing Lu Xuanâs words, it immediately nodded and its gaze was completely attracted by the lotus seed.
After it swallowed the lotus seed, Lu Xuan once again focused his attention on it.
âIt seems to have developed some liking for me.â
He felt like he was playing a nurturing game. By feeding it, he keenly sensed that the spriteâs good feeling towards him was progressively increasing.
Just as he was about to feed another lotus seed, a loud thunderous sound rang out and the ghost-like enemy named Thunder vanished into the endless thunder bolts.
As Lu Xuan was about to locate it with his Spiritual Sense, the head of the ghost named Thunder suddenly popped out over his head, as if trying to scare him.
âSurely it loves pranks.â
Lu Xuan sighed. The Spiritual Power on the surface of the Earth Spirit Doll around his waist dimmed and the Taiyi Thunder Amulet that was slightly peeking out from his sleeve was quietly withdrawn.
The ghost-like enemy named Thunder gave a ghostly laugh then vanished in front of Lu Xuan again.
âCome on, hereâs another one.â
Lu Xuan appeared calm, with a smile on his face, he tossed a lotus seed towards the direction of the ghost-like enemy named Thunder.
A flash of light, and the ghost-like enemy named Thunder, clutching the lotus seed in its claw, swallowed it in one gulp.
After eating three lotus seeds in a row, the heavy rumbling sound from the large bulge around its waist became more frequent, as if brewing a thunder calamity.
âIâm lost on Thunder Island and canât find my way out for now.â
âYouâve been living here for so long, could you guide me out of these restrictions?â
After consecutively feeding it three Grade Four Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds, Lu Xuan put his cards on the table and posed a question to the ghost-like enemy named Thunder.
The ghost-like enemy named Thunder nodded, tilted its head in contemplation, flapped its green wings, signifying Lu Xuan to follow.
Lu Xuan followed closely, slowly traversing through the restrictions.
âThe three lotus seeds have already made this native sprite a guide, not bad, not bad.â
He thought, with a relaxed expression.
âItâs not that the Pupil Skill canât break these restrictions, but having a guide is more cost effective.â
While pondering, his body suddenly felt lighter, the omnipresent intensity of the thunderbolts was completely gone.
Lu Xuan conducted a Spiritual Sense sweep, didnât find any trace of the others, only then did he feel slightly relieved.
Like a ray of light, he reached the center of the island, gazing around, but found no traces of Spiritual Plant Demonic Beasts.
Occasionally he would spot one or two pieces of wood, all lifeless, dry and scorched.
âPerhaps the spiritual plant failed to nurture new Spiritual Seeds after reaching maturity, or perhaps other Cultivators have invaded this island before, making it barren.â
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Glancing at the Silver White Sandstones in the Spirit Field, he harvested large amounts of them into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, adhering to the principle of never returning empty-handed.
As the rank of the nurturing Spiritual Plants keeps rising, the requirements for the Spiritual Soil also increase correspondingly. Itâs better to hoard some Special Spiritual Soil, to be prepared against any eventuality.
Perhaps the ghost-like enemy named Thunder had been alone in this Ancient Herb Garden for too long. While Lu Xuan was collecting Spirit Soil, it kept appearing and disappearing around him, categorically enjoying a game of hide and seek.
Lu Xuanâs vigilance was not as high as before, and he allowed this sprite to frolic around.
âWell, thatâs about it. I should be able to lay out a few Special Spirit Fields now.â
He stood up, gazed at the large area of the now empty Spirit Field, feeling satisfied.
âWhile theyâre still trapped in the restriction, I can have Thunder ghostly enemy take me to look at other islands and seize the initiative.â
As he thought to himself, he took out a silver-white lotus seed again.
âAre you particularly fond of this Thunder spirit fruit and spirit flower?â
While the ghostly enemy of Thunder tasted the lotus seed, Lu Xuan asked.
âMmm.â
His attention focused on the ghostly enemy of Thunder, he could hear its affirmative thoughts.
âTo be honest, like the previous owner of this garden, I am also a Spirit Plant Master. My favorite and most proficient task is cultivating Spiritual Plants.â
âIf I can get a few Thunder Element Spiritual Seeds, I may be able to successfully cultivate them soon.â
Lu Xuan suggested, almost directly.
After hearing his words, the ghostly enemy named Thunderâs eyes brightened, suddenly appearing in front of Lu Xuan and thunderous sounds were emitted from its mouth.
In Lu Xuanâs perception, it told him that on a small island it could go into, there was a high probability of finding spiritual seeds, and it was more than happy to take Lu Xuan there.
âFine, in that case, Iâll trouble you to lead the way.â
âAfter cultivation, Iâll bring the spirit fruit and flowers to you for feeding.â
Lu Xuan promised, if he really could find the rare spirit seeds, it wouldnât hurt to bring some to the enemy named Thunder after they ripened. The reward of the light cluster at least belongs entirely to himself.
I do not know if the thunder environment had an effect on the Demonic Vine, or if there were too many restrictions on the island, but the Demonic Vine did not seem very active and did not pick up on the scent of the spirit seed.
As for the ghostly enemy of Thunder, it could not only guide him through the limitations quickly, but also save a lot of time and directly find the spiritual seeds, it was well worth showing gratitude.
The ghostly enemy of Thunder appeared and disappeared in front while Lu Xuan followed close behind.
After passing two empty islands, when they reached the third island, the ghost-like enemy named Thunder slowed down a lot, leading Lu Xuan to a Spirit Field.
In the Spirit Field, there were different colors of minute thunder rays. Strangely perhaps because of formations, only active in the sky above the Spirit field, they did not radiate out.
âIs it here?â
Lu Xuan asked the ghostly enemy of Thunder.
The ghostly enemy of Thunder emitted a sound like thunder, nodding to confirm.
Lu Xuan called for it to guide him into the Formation, carefully avoiding the scattered spirit thunders. It felt like his thoughts were moving, a thin gray-white vine crawled out rapidly from his sleeve.
âTime to work!â
Lu Xuan instructed the Demonic Vine.
The Demonic Vine was full of gray-white tendrils, which continuously branched out like tentacles and drilled into the Silver White Sandstones.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Silver White Sandstones contained faint Thunder spirit breath, making the many tentacles of the Demonic Vine tremble unstoppably. However, with the spirit seed attracting, it no longer cared about these things.
After a moment, Lu Xuan sensed one of the tentacles of the Demonic Vine lightning towards himself.
âDid it find something?â
He thought happily. As the thought flashed through his mind, the gray-white tentacle stretched out, revealing a five-colored spirit seed in front of him.
The Spirit Seed was oval in shape, with five colors of Thunder light mixed inside â green, white, black, red, and yellow. Five tiny clusters of light formed by the filaments of thunder were halfway blended together and yet remained clearly demarcated. It expanded and contracted as if it had its own life force.
Lu Xuan planted it in the Spirit Soil, concentrated his focus on it, and instantly learned about the information of the Spirit Seed.
