Chapter 233 The Spirit Gu Sect's Plea for Help
"Fellow Daoist Liu, this is Qinghong's storage artifact. Please examine it!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He and Shi Ningyu joined forces to subdue Qinghong and other blue-horned antelopes, and have already gained great benefits from this ruin.

To avoid causing too much dissatisfaction among Liu Miaozhen and other Golden Core cultivators of the Spirit Gu Sect, he naturally had to appease them.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with Fellow Daoist Lu!"

Liu Miaozhen smiled; Lu Chengan's actions did indeed comfort her considerably.

She didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Cheng'an and took the storage ring directly from his hand, beginning to examine the items stored inside.

Although Qinghong is a demon beast at the third-order perfect realm, his wealth is indeed not very substantial.

This is because the Blue Horned Antelope is a special breed of monster. Due to their bloodline talent, very few of them can break through to the third tier.

However, the group of blue-horned antelopes in the Wanling Sect ruins had their bloodlines mutated because they had consumed blood essence rice.

Over the years, through generations of inheritance, the bloodline of Qinghong and other third-tier Qing-horned antelopes has become extremely different from that of other Qing-horned antelopes in the outside world.

After Qinghong's cultivation broke through to the third level, he also went out to travel and learned about the differences of their clan.

Because during his travels, he dared not reveal his true origins.

This also led to him being restricted in many ways, and obtaining cultivation resources became extremely difficult.

Later, the herd of blue antelopes in the ruins produced third-tier blue antelopes, which required even more resources.

Of the six third-order antelopes in the herd, only Qinghong is male.

The reason for this situation is that other rams who had the potential to break through to the third rank were killed by Qing Hong before they could break through.

This is also a tradition of some monster clans, where only the leader is male.

A new leader will only be born when the old leader's lifespan is about to end.

Of course, the situation of the blue antelope herd is also somewhat special. Their cultivation resources have always been scarce, so Qing Hong naturally does not want to cultivate another competitor.

Liu Miaozhen quickly checked Qinghong's storage ring. The treasures inside were very rare, and the Blood Essence Rice she hoped for was nowhere to be found.

Liu Miaozhen returned the storage ring to Qinghong, then looked at Lu Chengan with a furrowed brow and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, these immature Blood Essence Rice plants are the only ones left in the ruins. Do you have a way to guarantee that these Blood Essence Rice plants will be successfully transplanted?"

The Spirit Gu Sect does not have a method for cultivating Blood Essence Rice. Although there is a considerable amount of Blood Essence Rice in these thirteen spirit fields, they are not very confident that they can successfully transplant it.

"Our Lu family's foundation is far inferior to yours. If you are not even confident in successfully transplanting the Blood Essence Rice, how can I be confident?"

Lu Chengan smiled bitterly and said, "There are a total of thirteen blood essence rice fields in the ruins. Only the blood essence rice growing in five of them is growing well. I only want one piece of blood essence rice from my five blood essence rice fields, and I want three pieces from the remaining eight."

At this point, Lu Cheng'an turned his gaze to Liu Miaozhen and asked, "What do you think of my arrangement, Fellow Daoist Liu?"

These blood-seed rice plants are not yet mature. If they cannot be successfully transplanted, even if they are all taken away, they will be of no use.

Lu Cheng'an was not lying; the Lu family indeed did not have the method to cultivate blood essence rice.

However, the Lu family possesses the method of cultivating spiritual plants like the Spirit Source Valley from the Burning Flame Sect. The records above state that the cultivation methods for spiritual plants like the Spirit Source Valley are largely similar, requiring abundant earth vein energy and spiritual energy for nourishment.

Lu Cheng'an carefully examined the spirit fields and discovered that they were connected to the formations within the ruins.

These formations gather the energy needed for the growth of Blood Essence Rice, including the energy of the earth's veins.

However, after so many years, many problems have arisen with the formations within the ruins.

This led to a significant reduction in the number of spirit fields within the ruins, and the quality of the blood essence rice grown in these fields became increasingly poor.

This is only what Lu Cheng'an discovered using his divine sense; the cultivation of Blood Essence Rice by the Myriad Spirits Sect is certainly not that simple.

The mere presence of these blue antelopes here is certainly intriguing.

"I have no objection, let's distribute it according to Fellow Daoist Lu's suggestion!"

After careful consideration and secretly discussing with Shang Lan and other Golden Core cultivators of the Spirit Gu Sect, Liu Miaozhen gave Lu Cheng'an a positive answer.

Those third-tier blue-horned antelopes were indeed very valuable, but they were obtained by Lu Cheng'an and his wife through their own efforts.

Even if they felt somewhat resentful, they couldn't say much.

Lu Cheng'an has already shown them enough respect by voluntarily reducing their share of Blood Essence Rice.

If they are still not satisfied, then they may have a falling out with Lu Cheng'an and his wife.

They had already witnessed the strength of Lu Cheng'an and his wife, and it was almost a certainty that the two of them would break through to the Golden Core Perfection realm in the future.

It's not a wise choice to cause trouble over those blue antelopes.

"Then let's get to work immediately, get these blood essence rice out as soon as possible, and then leave this place right away!"

As soon as Lu Cheng'an finished speaking, he and Shi Ningyu made their move at the same time, starting to move the spiritual field.

It was indeed a mobile spirit field. Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were preparing to dig out the entire spirit field and take it away.

This is not an easy task, because these spiritual fields are connected to the surrounding formations.

Fortunately, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu practiced high-level cultivation techniques, resulting in formidable magical power.

Furthermore, the two cultivated together and became spiritually connected, making it possible for them to shake these spiritual fields.

Even so, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had exhausted most of their magical power after moving all the high-quality spiritual fields out.

Furthermore, during the process of excavating the spirit field, the two also caused some impact on the blood essence rice growing in the spirit field.

Some of the blood essence rice was at the center of the impact. The moment it was dug out of the spirit field, the spiritual energy contained in the blood essence rice was completely lost, and it died instantly.

After Lu Cheng'an and Lu Cheng'an worked together to excavate the spiritual field, Lu Cheng'an immediately stored it in the Sky Palace.

The Sky Palace has a large space, and only this magical artifact can preserve the activity of the Blood Essence Rice as much as possible.

Before Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu began excavating the spirit field, Lu Cheng'an had Qing Hong bring all the first and second-tier blue-horned antelopes from the ruins here. Lu Cheng'an planned to take some of the first and second-tier blue-horned antelopes back with him.

The bloodlines of these first and second-order blue antelopes have also changed, which is still very worthy of study.

Furthermore, Lu Cheng'an felt that planting blood essence rice might require the use of these first and second-order blue antelopes.

There are a considerable number of first- and second-order blue antelopes living within the ruins, and they have never left the area of ​​the ruins in their entire lives.

Qinghong was the leader of these blue-horned antelopes, and he quickly led all the first and second-tier blue-horned antelopes to a spot not far from the spirit field.

The azure-colored blue antelopes gathered in one place, in large numbers, resembling a greenish-blue rice paddy.

There are several thousand of these first and second-tier blue antelopes, of which fifty-six are second-tier blue antelopes.

Among these second-tier blue-horned antelopes, six have reached the perfect second-tier realm. The aura they exude is extremely powerful, and they have a good chance of breaking through to the third tier.

Among these six blue-horned antelopes, there are also rams. This is because they are still some distance away from breaking through to the third rank. Once they reach the threshold for breaking through to the third rank, Qinghong will take action to kill them.

None of the numerous first and second-tier blue-horned antelopes had Qinghong's offspring. This was because after Qinghong broke through to the third tier and gained intelligence, he deliberately did not conceive.

Therefore, no matter how Lu Cheng'an deals with these first and second-tier blue antelopes, Qing Hong will not have any thoughts, because he has no feelings for these first and second-tier blue antelopes.

Of course, his feelings for those third-tier blue-horned antelopes were different. They had all awakened their intelligence and had lived with him for so many years, making them his Daoist partners.

Of course, his submission to Lu Cheng'an was not because Lu Cheng'an threatened him with the lives of those third-tier green-horned antelopes, but mainly because of the curse mark in his soul.

Lu Cheng'an ignored Qing Hong and the other blue-horned antelopes. After he and Shi Ningyu worked together to dig out the blood essence rice field, they immediately took pills to restore their magic power and began to meditate and regulate their breathing.

After seeing what Lu Cheng'an and his companion did, Liu Miaozhen and the other cultivators from the Linggu Sect immediately followed suit and tried to dig out those spirit fields as well.

Although their numbers exceeded those of Lu Cheng'an and his companion, their strength was significantly inferior to that of Lu Cheng'an and his companion.

Most importantly, they are not in sync and cannot work together when channeling their magical power.

Although they eventually managed to excavate the spirit field, they caused great damage to the blood essence rice growing there.

Most of the blood essence rice in the spirit field has been severely affected. Although some of the blood essence rice did not die immediately, it is difficult for them to be transplanted and survive, given their current condition.

This situation was extremely distressing for Liu Miaozhen and the other Golden Core cultivators of the Spirit Gu Sect, as they witnessed Lu Cheng'an and his companion digging up the spirit fields.

Only a small number of hematosperm rice plants were affected!
They knew there was a gap between them and Lu Cheng'an, but they didn't expect the gap to be so large.

"Sect Master, what should we do now? We've dug up far too many damaged Blood Essence Rice!"

"Should we ask Lu Cheng'an for help? After they dug out the spirit field, almost none of the blood essence rice died!"

…………

Shang Lan and the other Linggu Sect cultivators secretly communicated through divine sense. If they continued like this, they would lose half of the blood essence rice they had received, even before they could return to transplant it.

"Wait a minute, I'll talk to Lu Cheng'an about this later!"

Liu Miaozhen sighed softly; excavating spirit fields was no easy task.

Although their excavation of the spirit field resulted in the death of a large number of blood essence rice plants, it still cost them a significant amount of magical power.

Lu Cheng'an and Lu Cheng'an are currently meditating and adjusting their breathing. They haven't finished digging up the blood essence rice field they were allocated, so it would be useless for her to ask Lu Cheng'an for help now.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were unaware of the thoughts of Liu Miaozhen and the other Linggu Sect cultivators. After focusing on regulating their breathing and with the help of the pills, the mana they had lost in their dantian quickly recovered.

The two then did not waste any more time and continued to excavate the remaining spirit fields.

The spiritual fields growing in these three spiritual fields are quite different from the previous one, and the reason for this difference lies in the spiritual fields they grow in.

However, the difficulty of excavating this kind of spirit field is greatly reduced. After Lu Cheng'an and his companion completely excavated this spirit field, the amount of magical power they consumed was nearly 30% less than that of the previous spirit field.

Even so, Lu Cheng'an and the other did not continue to dig up the next spiritual field, but instead continued to meditate and regulate their breathing to recover their depleted magical power.

During this time, Liu Miaozhen also considered other methods to transplant the blood essence rice, such as digging it up directly.

However, after trying, they found that even if they dug out the blood essence rice with mud and soil, the aura it emitted immediately became weak the moment it was separated from the spirit field.

The longer they are unearthed, the weaker they become.

If all the blood essence rice were to be dug up using this method, it would take a considerable amount of time.

Furthermore, it will take them a considerable amount of time to return from the barren wasteland. By the time they return to their sect to cultivate the blood essence rice, there will likely be very few that can be transplanted and survive using this method.

Therefore, after a serious discussion with the Golden Core cultivators of the sect, Liu Miaozhen finally decided to ask Lu Cheng'an and the other person to help. In the end, they would just give up some Blood Essence Rice.

Liu Miaozhen did not speak immediately, but only after Lu Cheng'an and the other person had dug out the remaining two spirit fields did Liu Miaozhen talk to Lu Cheng'an about the matter.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, we have something we would like to ask for your help with… Once it is done, we are willing to give you two more plots of Blood Essence Rice from the spirit fields!” Liu Miaozhen said in a deep voice.

She agreed to give up two pieces of blood essence rice, one of good quality and one of poor quality, which was quite a show of sincerity.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu exchanged a glance. After seeing the reactions of Liu Miaozhen and the others, they knew that they had encountered a problem.

It was actually within Lu Cheng'an's expectations that Liu Miaozhen would take the initiative to ask them for help.

"That's easy, we'll help you dig up the blood essence rice in the spirit field right now!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He naturally wouldn't refuse this task; digging up spirit fields would only deplete some of their magical power.

However, he could win the Blood Essence Rice from two spirit fields, as well as the gratitude of Liu Miaozhen and other Linggu Sect cultivators. It was a sure-fire deal for them, so how could he possibly refuse?

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu have worked together to excavate four pieces of Blood Essence Rice, and they have accumulated a wealth of experience.

Moreover, they discovered that after they excavated the spirit field, it also had a significant impact on the formation within it.

Each time they excavate a spirit field, the power of the array within that field weakens considerably, saving them a lot of effort in subsequent excavations.
