However, Lu Xuan knew that relying on the approach of buying diseased spiritual plants, healing them, and then reselling them could only bring some quick money and was not a long-term plan.

Spiritual plants that were polluted by the demon envoy were a minority. When the Spirit Plant Masters became more cautious and attentive in their protection, the diseased spiritual plants he could purchase would gradually decrease.

When their fundamental interests were at stake, the large families and powers in the market wouldn't allow the demon envoy to endanger the safety of the cultivators and invade the interests of the Spirit Fields.

Lu Xuan speculated that they would respond soon and try to eliminate the demon envoy that was stirring waves in the market.

Therefore, for him, planting and nurturing spiritual plants dedicatedly and seizing the opportunity to obtain the light cluster was the most crucial matter.

As for whether his actions would attract the attention or even covetousness of other cultivators, Lu Xuan wasn't too concerned.

This ability was inherently within the scope of Spirit Plant Masters, and besides, compared to being able to cultivate a perfect grade spiritual plant, this was not a big deal.

After waiting in the hall for an hour, Manager He, who went to the medicine garden to buy diseased spiritual plants for Lu Xuan, returned to Bai Cao Tang with a bulging cloth bag in hand.

However, this time, two cultivators were following behind him, both Level Five Qi Practitioners.

“This must be Friend Lu, I've long heard about you. Previously, I only had a distant glimpse of you. Now I finally have the opportunity to get to know you.”

“Being able to cultivate perfect quality spiritual plants at such a young age, Friend Lu, you are indeed extraordinary!”

Seeing Lu Xuan, their eyes lit up. They quickly stepped forward, warmly greeting him.

“The same to you, friends.”

Lu Xuan responded noncommittally, looking at the thin old man behind them. Manager He's eyes flashed a hint of apology. He pulled Lu Xuan away from the effusive two cultivators and led him to a corner.

“My successive purchases of diseased spiritual plants at a low price in the medicine garden have drawn some attention.

“Several spirit plant masters have been asking, and I couldn't hide it. Seeing that you don't seem to mind, I told them the truth.

“Will this affect you, Kid Lu?”

“Not really, Old He, you're overthinking it. I never intended to hide it in the first place.”

Lu Xuan said with a gentle smile.

Whether it was purchasing diseased spiritual plants through Manager He's connections or selling the healed plants, he could not keep it absolutely secret, and thus, Lu Xuan did not have the intention to hide it.

He reassured the apologetic old man and then went over to the two Spirit Plant Masters.

“Friends, if you've got something to say, spill the beans!

The two exchanged glances, and a slightly chubby middle-aged cultivator stepped forward and spoke.

“We learned from Manager He that Friend Lu is good at healing diseased spiritual plants. Just so happens, some plants in our medicine garden have been infected. So we'd like to invite Friend Lu to our Spirit Field to help restore the plants to their normal status.”

“As long as you're willing to go, we will provide a satisfactory compensation.”

The Spirit Plant Master beside him added.

Lu Xuan paused.

“I do have some insights into the treatment of diseased spiritual plants, but I am not inclined to go to your Spirit Field.”

“Firstly, treatment is a long-term process. It's not a one-time magic cure. I can't possibly stay in your Spirit Fields all the time, can I?

“Secondly, during the treatment process, I will have to use some specialized methods I've figured out. To prevent leaks, I cannot go to other Spirit Plant Masters' Spirit Fields. I hope you both understand.”

Lu Xuan tactfully declined. He couldn't be joking thinking about going to these two cultivators' Spirit Field. Won't he be fumbling blindly without the instant grasp of the spiritual plant's status?

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the two men hesitated.

“Friend Lu, the plant we need your help with is a second-rank spiritual plant. As fellow Spirit Plant Masters, we all understand the value of a second-rank spiritual plant.”

“We spent a considerable amount of spirit stones to buy the second-rank spiritual seeds and poured a lot of effort and hard work into cultivating them. If we had to sell them at the price you're offering, it would be a waste.” “That's why we thought about having you restore the plant for us.”

“I have a suggestion, but it depends on whether you two can accept it.”

“You entrust the second-rank spiritual plant to me. I'll transplant it to my own Spirit Field for treatment. Once it's healed, I'll bring it back to you both.” “However, in this case, the price will be higher than a straight purchase. If the treatment is successful, I'll charge half the value of the mature plant in spirit stones. If the treatment fails, the price will drop to 20%, for my labor.”

“I will do my best during the treatment process, but I can't guarantee success.”

Lu Xuan made a suggestion.

“Half the original value? Friend Lu, you're being a bit excessive, aren't you?” “We bought the spiritual seeds and cultivated the spiritual plants, putting in countless effort. But you just have to spend a little time, and you don't even guarantee success, yet you want to take half?”

A trace of anger flashed across the face of the slightly chubby middle-aged cultivator.

Lu Xuan took it in stride, looking unconcerned.

“So, the choice is yours.”

“Do you want to sell at 10% of the price, get the spirit stones stably, or do you want to spend half the spirit stones for a chance of having a normal spiritual plant?”

“So, do you want to take a gamble?”

“Can a loose cultivator really cure diseased spiritual plants?

In the backyard of the Hundred Herbs Hall, inside a quiet and elegant room. A bearded cultivator, He Zongguang, turned to a respectful-looking young man next to him.

The young man, handsome with a cultivation level of Qi Cultivating Seventh Layer, was standing respectfully at He Zongguang's side.

“Reporting to the elder, I inquired a few spirit plant masters in the medicine garden and went to the medicine warehouse to check the plants that Old He got. It is indeed the case.”

The young man replied, bowing his head.

“Interesting.”

A smile appeared at the corner of He Zongguang's mouth.

“Elder, that loose cultivator evidently knows a certain secret technique, so should we…”

The young man lifted his head, his eyes fierce. He made a cutting motion in the air with his hand like a knife.

“What on earth are you thinking? All you know is fighting and killing! Don't you understand the big picture?”

“A secret technique that can increase the recovery rate of diseased spiritual plants, do you know how much spirit stones it can bring to Bai Cao Tang?” “How many polluted plants are there for you to treat?

“The key issue now is how to solve the demon envoy that has invaded the market. How to avoid the demon envoy's intrusion into the medicine garden, not to squabble over the petty profits from curing some diseased spiritual plants!”

The bearded cultivator scolded.

“Yes! Elder, I get it!” The handsome young cultivator said seriously.

“As far as I know, this loose cultivator named Lu Xuan, despite of his young age, can already cultivate perfect quality spiritual plants. His future is truly limitless.”

“For us pill masters, the importance of such a capable Spirit Plant Master is self-evidence.”

“What I value more is his person, not some techniques, as long as he can bring continuous benefits to Bai Cao Tang.”

“Find an opportunity to interact with him more, see if we can draw him into the hall. All I want is this outcome..”
