After tasting nurous spirit fruits, Lu Xuan followed the round-faced female cultivator into her spirit field.
The spirit field was concealed by an array, making it difficult to see the growth of spirit plants clearly.
Led by the round-faced female cultivator, Lu Xuan arrived in front of a fiery-red spirit plant.
The spirit plant was about a person's height, with nurous palm-sized fiery-red leaves and dozens to hundreds of fiery-red spirit fruits growing among the branches and leaves.
The fruits had thick bases and slender tips, and the surface of the fruit displayed fla-like patterns when viewed from bottom to top, resembling clusters of flas hanging among the branches and leaves.
However, whether it was the fiery-red branches and leaves or the fla-like spirit fruits, their current condition was not ideal. The branches emitted a faint vigor, and the fla fruits appeared sowhat shriveled, indicating a lack of nourishnt.
"This is the second-grade Fla Fruit. Strangely, its growth condition is not good, and I can't find the problem. Therefore, a task was issued in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to find a fellow disciple who can solve the problem with the spirit fruits," the round-faced female cultivator pointed at the languid Fla Fruit and explained to Lu Xuan.
"Senior Sister Chen, I will start examining. If there's any offense to the Fla Fruit, I hope Senior Sister Chen can forgive ," Lu Xuan said to the round-faced female cultivator.
"Junior Brother Lu, feel free to treat this Fla Fruit. Don't worry too much about minor issues. As long as you can heal this Fla Fruit successfully, so minor damages won't matter," she replied with a smile.
With the assurance, Lu Xuan's nervousness disappeared, and he walked up to the Fla Fruit, carefully examining a palm-sized fiery-red leaf.
Recently, he had been studying various knowledge about spirit plants and beasts, including the possible problems during their growth. Now, he wasn't just a casual cultivator familiar with his own cultivated spirit plants; he had a certain understanding of common spirit plants and beasts.
"It doesn't seem like it's suffering from insect damage," he observed. Both sides of the fiery-red leaf appeared normal, showing no signs of insect invasion.
Lu Xuan's spiritual awareness slowly infiltrated the Fla Fruit's spirit plant, carefully exploring between its branches and leaves, yet he found no abnormal conditions.
"Junior Brother Lu, have you discovered anything?" the round-faced female cultivator asked eagerly when Lu Xuan opened his eyes.
"No, all the branches and leaves of the Fla Fruit are normal. There is no insect damage, and the spiritual energy in the growth environnt is abundant. It's strange. Why would there be a growth problem?" Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
"Indeed, I have put a lot of effort into cultivation. Every day, I use fire-type techniques on the Fla Fruit to ensure it absorbs enough fire-type spiritual energy. However, for so reason, its growth condition has worsened over ti," Senior Sister Chen added.
"In that case, it should be a problem with the spirit plant itself."
"Senior Sister Chen, did you cultivate this Fla Fruit in your spirit field from a young age, or did you transplant it from elsewhere halfway?" Lu Xuan inquired curiously.
"I found it in a secret realm not long ago. Due to my fondness for various spirit fruits, I transplanted this Fla Fruit into my own spirit field. Is there a problem with that? During the transplantation process, I took special precautions and used a unique tool to bring it back to the sect, ensuring minimal loss of its spiritual power," the charming female cultivator explained.
"Senior Sister Chen, may I pull out the roots of the Fla Fruit and examine if there's any issue with the roots?" Lu Xuan asked.
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's request, a hesitant expression appeared on the round-faced female cultivator's face.
Pulling a spirit plant out of the spirit soil would have a certain impact on its growth, and it would take so ti to recover. Therefore, she found it difficult to accept Lu Xuan's request.
"If the roots are pulled out, Junior Brother Lu, do you have confidence in healing this Fla Fruit?" she asked seriously, considering the potential consequences.
"At least seventy percent," Lu Xuan confidently replied.
His examination of the Fla Fruit's roots was just a pretense. The main purpose was to complete the "planting" action and grasp the detailed status of the Fla Fruit.
"Alright, Junior Brother, go ahead with your thods."
Seeing Lu Xuan's confidence, the round-faced female cultivator felt relieved and signaled him to handle the Fla Fruit as he pleased.
Lu Xuan nodded and used earth-attracting techniques to loosen the spirit soil wrapping the Fla Fruit's roots. He effortlessly pulled the entire Fla Fruit out, gently shaking off the soil from the roots.
The dark red roots were revealed in front of them.
Lu Xuan touched the surface of the roots with his hand, feeling a slight cool warmth emanating from the fiery-red roots. It was sowhat different from the information he had seen in the jade book.
"Sister, co over and touch the Fla Fruit roots," he called the round-faced female cultivator over and whispered.
"Huh? Why is it so cool? I rember the classics ntioning a slight burning sensation on the surface of Fla Fruit roots due to long-term nourishnt with fire-type techniques," she exclaid in surprise. The Fla Fruit, nurtured by fire-type techniques, should have a slight burning sensation on the surface of the roots. However, the Fla Fruit in front of them had a completely different feel.
"It seems that's where the problem lies," Lu Xuan said casually. He buried the Fla Fruit in the spirit soil, concentrating his mind on the spirit plant. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Fla Fruit, second-grade spirit plant. The spirit fruit contains rich spiritual energy, and consuming it can slightly enhance the cultivator's internal spiritual power. It can also be used as a refining material for certain spirit wines and brews."
"During cultivation, fire-type techniques need to be applied to stimulate the spirit plant and accelerate its growth."
"Due to growing in a special environnt and devouring large amounts of Yin Fire, the Fla Fruit undergoes mutations. Ordinary fire-type techniques cannot nourish it effectively; it requires stimulation from Yin Fire-type abnormal fire."
"So that's the case," Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. Although the Fla Fruit in front of him looked similar to a regular Fla Fruit, due to growing in a Yin Fire environnt, it had mutated to only absorb and devour special flas. Ordinary flas had little positive effect on its growth.
"Junior Brother Lu, why did you plant the Fla Fruit roots into the spirit soil so quickly without further examination?" the round-faced female cultivator couldn't help but ask when she saw Lu Xuan's actions.
"Senior Sister Chen, no need to worry. I already have a general idea of the problem," Lu Xuan smiled and reassured her. "If I'm not mistaken, when Senior Sister Chen found this Fla Fruit, it was growing in a Yin Fire environnt, right?"
"That's correct," the round-faced female cultivator showed a hint of surprise on her face. She didn't expect Lu Xuan to directly deduce the Fla Fruit's growth environnt before transplantation.
