Chapter 389: Chapter 387 Searching for Seeds_l
The Demonic Vine fell on the ground, sensing the aura of the Demon Beast Puppets from afar, it couldn’t help but stand upright, its vine tips secreting a grey adhesive.
With a thought in Lu Xuan’s heart, the White Bone Demon Puppet turned into a thick bone chain, tightly binding the remaining Demon Beast Puppets, and dragged them in front of Lu Xuan.
“Feast to your heart’s content!”
Lu Xuan looked at the Demonic Vine stirring beneath his feet and commanded softly.
At his words, the grey vine split into many long and thin branches like tentacles. The branches grew in the wind, overlapping each other. On them were suckers full of sharp teeth and numerous daunting spines.
Faced with such a feast, the fifth-rank Demonic Vine finally showed a bit of its sophistication.
Whizzing sounds filled the air!
An endless number of vines covered the sky, arrived in front of the several Demon Beast Puppets, and firmly wrapped around their bodies, immobilizing them. The vine tips attached themselves to the heads of the Demon Beast Puppets.
Like drawing in a spiral, the Demonic Vine sucked out various mixed substances from within the Demon Beasts, all of which were then swallowed into its interior.
After a while, the gray vine returned to its normal state, but it was visibly thicker than before, moving awkwardly on the ground.
As for the Demon Beast Puppets, after the combined Mutated Camp Tassel within them was sucked out, they were left as empty shells, which fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
“How does the combination of Mutated Camp Tassel of the third grade and the equivalent Demon Beast meat taste?”
Lu Xuan passed a thought to the Demonic Vine, asking this.
The Demonic Vine struggled to stand upright, nodding continually, its simple spiritual intelligence filled with joy.
“This picnic trip should be quite filling, wasn’t it?”
The vine at the top of the Demonic Vine kept nodding. Alas, although it’d marked many rare and high-grade spirit plants in the cave mansion, this was the first time it’d partaken in such a large feast.
“Now that you’re full it’s time to get to work! Move around and digest a bit!”
Lu Xuan flicked the tip of the gray vine, looking at its bloated body with a hint of disdain in his voice.
“Search in the vicinity if there are any traces of spiritual seeds of these kinds of spirit plants.”
Lu Xuan took out the Mutated Arrow Vine Seedling from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
He had anticipated the onslaught of the Demon Beast Puppets and had made preparations early, transplanting the planted Arrow Vine Seedling into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The Gluttonous Insect Pouch was a Fifth Rank Treasure, superior to the third- rank Life Bag in maintaining the vitality of spirit plants. There was no need to worry about the life force of the spirit plant dissipating within a short time inside it.
“Also, pay attention if there is the presence of other spirit seeds, and for rank, anything below third grade isn’t necessary, just ignore them.”
Lu Xuan detailed his instructions to the Demonic Vine.
Second-grade spirit plants were slightly unnecessary for him now in the mid-term of his Foundation Establishment.
Although there is a certain probability of getting a third-rank treasure from the light cluster, it’s not very useful unless it’s an extraordinarily rare variety.
More importantly, within the sect’s cave mansion, there already existed a large number of spirit plants of different grades. To plant more second-grade spirit plants, it would have to be in large quantities.
However, with many second-grade spirit plants like the Water Glow Grass and Flaming Fruit in his cave mansion, given the size of the Spirit Field, his inner spiritual power, and time and energy spent on spirit plants, he couldn’t support large-scale planting of second-grade spirit plants. Thus, he had to focus on third grade and above spirit plants.
The Demonic Vine retracted its spikes, its vines continuously spreading out in all directions, detecting the possible presence of the aura of spiritual seeds nearby.
After confirming there was no follow-up, Lu Xuan randomly chose a path, continuing to search for high-rank Spirit Seeds within the blessed land.
After some time passed, he found nothing.
Lu Xuan didn’t mind; he had already mentally prepared himself.
In the wild, Spirit Plants could birth Spirit Seeds only under the right combination of time and place, and acquiring them could never be guaranteed. High-rank Spirit Seeds were all the rarer and since they grew naturally, most could only be found under specific circumstances.
After some time, the demonic vine contracted its grey vines, like a grey snake, and quickly slithered in one direction.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan focused his mind on the vine of the Demonic Vine. Discovering that it had probably sensed the scent of the Arrow Vine Spiritual Seed, he felt sheepishly happy and hurried after it.
The Demonic Vine would periodically stop, sensing the exact location of the Spirit Seed. Approximately half an hour later, it stopped beside a small hill, the grey vine circled around the hill before plunging straight into the mountain.
The vine burrowed deeper and deeper until it reached the depths of the earth.
Soon, the grey vine crawled out from within the mountain, carrying a Spiritual Ore about a foot square at the end.
With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, Lu Xuan discovered a small emerald-green arrow hidden within the ore.
“I didn’t expect it to be hidden in the Underground Spirit Mineral. But lean understand why. If it wasn’t like this, then it would likely have sprouted all on its own, and I would not have noticed it.”
Lu Xuan projected Sword Intent from his fingertips like a spring breeze, silently splitting the Spiritual Ore into countless fragments without slightly damaging the emerald green arrow within. ƒreewebɳovel.com
A few breaths later, the emerald green arrow was fully revealed to Lu Xuan.
The arrow was only the size of his pinky. Occasionally, it emitted a green Spiritual Light. Upon careful inspection, one could sense a faint vitality from within.
With the use of Earth Pulling Technique, it was placed into the dark red Spirit Soil.
[Mutated Arrow Vine, a Fourth Grade Spirit Plant. It requires assistance from a Spirit Plant Master to guide the condensation of arrow-shaped spiritual power to nurture the plant during its growth. Upon maturity, it releases arrows of various effects. When faced with powerful enemies, it can release thousands of arrows simultaneously, causing severe damage.]
[The Spirit Seed was accidentally lodged in a Spiritual Ore. It was isolated from the Spiritual Power in the Spirit Soil. As a result, it could not grow roots nor sprout, its life force slowly ebbing away. It needs to be placed near a treasure with a rich life force, and continuously warmed and nurtured, until it returns back to normal.]
“Poor little seed, how did you manage to fall into the mineral ores back then.”
With a sigh, Lu Xuan put the emerald green arrow Spirit Seed into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

As for an object with a rich life force, the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath still contained that emerald green small sword, so at least he didn’t have to worry about that.
“Good performance, keep it up.”
Lu Xuan fetched out a Flaming Fruit and shoved it towards the grey vine, gently patting on top of the vine to signal approval.
The Demonic Vine became even more motivated and continued to split into numerous other vines, using its sensitivity to Spirit Seeds to continue the search energetically.
“Hmm? There are two cultivators from the Lingxiao Sect.”
While looking at the grayish-white pupil in his palm, Lu Xuan noticed two cultivators wearing the Lingxiao Sect’s standard daoist robe, who were frenziedly fleeing in his direction from the Void Nightmare Eye’s field of view. More than a dozen Demon Beast Puppets were chasing after them vigorously.
Without any hesitation, he ordered the Demonic Vine to retreat back into his sleeve, and fully employed the Floating Light Body Method to travel in a direction opposite to that of the two approaching cultivators.
“The less trouble, the better. It’s best to stick to finding Spirit Seeds properly.”
“With so many demon beast puppets, as an ordinary Spirit Plant Master, I can’t handle them and can’t assist, I’m sure the two Daoist friends from the Lingxiao Sect can understand.”
Lu Xuan sighed and only stopped after making sure that there were no cultivators within dozens of miles around the Void Nightmare Eye.
