Chapter 300 - 298 Moonlight Pearl l
Once the puppet-master is revealed, the situation would be much easier to deal with.
Regardless of how the Song Family would retaliate, after understanding the Ning Family of Chongning Island’s highest combat power, Lu Xuan had an idea of using the same tactics against them.
Although the Ning Family’s harm to the Void Nether Spirit Fish did not directly harm his interests, after all, Void Nether Island belonged to the Sect. Being a Sect monk stationed here, his duty was to ensure the island’s peace and stability.
If this matter cannot be resolved, it would be difficult to explain once he returned to the Sky Sword Sect and would severely impact his reputation within the Sect.
While isolating those Invisible Algae in the water, he did not use drastic measures. Although the Spirit Plants were somewhat damaged by the flame roasting, their roots were not threatened. Being cultivated in the Spirit Field for a few days, they would return to normal.
Keeping them in the Spirit Field would not bring any rewards from the Light Cluster, so Lu Xuan planned to place them in the Ning Family’s Water Region.
Song Yu came in a hurry and left in haste. After Song Yu left, Lu Xuan brought all the Invisible Algae into his Life Bag.
The dark and windy night.
In the Ning Family’s Water Region, three Middle-Stage Qi Practitioners yawned, patrolling around.
“Who knows what our Family Head is thinking. Suddenly so concerned about this water region. Typically, we would only need a Lower Level Qi Cultivator for patrol, but now they have dispatched three of us.”
“Exactly, the spiritual fish within the water region, in terms of quality and quantity, are far from those on Void Nether Island. I don’t understand what’s worth guarding.”
” I heard some rumors that the family plans to focus on cultivating spiritual fish in the future. If it is true, guarding this place now might earn us an important position later.”
“Is that so? Then let’s patrol more diligently.”
The three flat boats split and drifted in different directions.
Half a moment later, the blurry world in front of Lu Xuan regained its clarity. Countless near-transparent threads dissipated and returned to his Hidden Spirit Cloak.
When he approached the Ning Family’s Water Region, he mixed in silently using the invisibility ability of his Hidden Spirit Cloak, with none of the Ning family monks realizing.
He took out nearly a hundred Invisible Algae from his Life Bag and dumped them in the water.
The Invisible Algae, invisible and colorless, fell into the water causing tiny ripples, and fully merged with the seawater.
“That overseas Loose Cultivator finding the Invisible Algae is already very fortunate, he likely doesn’t knowhow to separate them.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself, spiritual power surging, his figure gradually vanished.
Outside the Ning Family.
Sun Hai, an eye-patched monk, excitedly rushed towards the grand building with a look of excitement in his one eye.
He was originally a not so famous Loose Cultivator from overseas who stumbled upon the existence of Invisible Algae while exploring the ocean floor.
After coming to join the Ning Family, he presented this rare Spirit Plant. Due to its parasitic nature and its invisibility, it was highly valued by Lady Ning, and his status greatly increased overnight.
After participating in the action of spreading Invisible Algae in the Void Nether Island’s water region, he felt his status rising and prosperity seemed just within his reach.
“Once the mission is accomplished, I wonder how Lady Ning will reward me. With such merit, she might reward me with her body?”
The one-eyed monk Sun Hai arrived at the exotic woman’s place with high spirits after being greeted by a crowd of Ning family monks.
“Friend Sun, you’ve arrived?”
As soon as he entered the room, he heard the husky voice of the exotic woman.
A Black Rope shot over like lightning, firmly binding him, and pulled him to her side.
“Could it be? Is it that open?”
Sun Hai excitedly thought, but the next sentence from Lady Ning made his mood plummet.
“Friend Sun, as you mentioned, the Invisible Algae is uniquely yours, and others might not even detect it, right?”
“To answer Lady Ning, I found the Invisible Algae in a remote deep sea by chance and cultivated a batch with special means. It’s very difficult for others to detect the existence of Invisible Algae.”
The one-eyed Monk Sun Hai carefully answered.
“Since it is your unique property and difficult for others to detect, why have the spirit fish in my Ning Family’s water region recently begun to act crazily and self-harm?”
“Could it be that you, Friend Sun, secretly spread the Invisible Algae?”
The exotic woman asked gently, her eyes chillingly cold. The Black Rope tightened more and more, making the One-eyed Monk Sun Hai almost unable to breathe.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“lam loyal to Lady Ning and the Ning Family. How could I do such despicable things?”
The one-eyed monk defended himself while his face turned red.
“It must be other monks who have found the Invisible Algae. The Song Family! Yes, it must be the Song Family who found the separation method and came to set me up!”
Under the effect of the Black Rope, he felt his spiritual power sinking into a quagmire, and his voice getting quieter.
“Take him away and hand him over to the Enforcement Hall.”
“Remember, verify the truth of his words.”
“And, force out the way he found and cultivated the Invisible Algae, and whether he knows the method to separate the plant from the spirit fish.”
“Right, contact our insider from the Song Family to see what the situation is in the Song Family.”
Lady Ning got up and instructed the two black-robed monks below.
“Yes!”
Both responded in unison, escorting the semi-conscious one-eyed Monk Sun Hai away.
**
The moon was cool as water.
After understanding the growth status of the Three-grade Moon Dew Grass, Lu Xuan came to check it for several nights in a row. Finally, the progress bar below was completely filled.
The silver-white leaves of the Moon Dew Grass seemed to be flowing with moonlight, giving off a sense of chillness.
Lu Xuan carefully harvested it and as soon as it was held, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Moon Dew Grass, a third-grade Spiritual Plant, cultivated by absorbing Moonlight Spiritual Power, greatly benefits the growth of Demon Beasts, and at the same time, it is a primary ingredient in many healing Elixirs.]
“Greatly benefits the growth of Demon Beasts… When daytime comes, it can be used to feed the Cloud Leopard, Wind Falcon, and Demonic Vine.”
He brought the above three demon beasts with him this time. This mature Moon Dew Grass could be used to feed them.
Lu Xuan put the silver-white Moon Dew Grass into his storage bag and focused on the silently emerging White Light Group.
The Light Group blinked faintly. Under the illumination of the moonlight, it seemed to be condensed from moonlight.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the Light Group.
In an instant, the Light Group turned into countless tiny points of light, like moonlight pouring on his body, quietly entering his body.
[Harvested one Three-grade Moon Dew Grass, received a Four-level Magical Tool, Moonlight Pearl.]
A thought flashed, and a silver-white pearl appeared in his palm.
The pearl was the same size as a chicken egg, round like a moon. It emitted a silver-white moonlight, giving off a calm and icy feeling.
Feeling it in his hand, he could feel the insignificant moonlight spiritual power seeping through his skin and nourishing every small piece of flesh around his palm.
