Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Starting to Plant Grass

"Senior, what should we do?"

A female cultivator carefully asked Lu Chen, seeing the grave expression on his face.

"I’ve brought many storage bags with me, filled with plenty of Fu Ling grass. You’ll be responsible for continuously spreading and planting it. Have you got that?"

"Is that all?"

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, the three female cultivators actually didn’t believe him.

No matter how many storage bags there were, how much Fu Ling grass could there be?

But in reality, they were well aware. To please Lu Chen and not invoke his displeasure, they pretended not to know.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Of course, it’s exactly because I planted so much Fu Ling grass that I made that Demon Turtle wary. Now that I have your help, nothing could be better! As long as we have a big enough meadow, we might even find a way to leave this place!"

Lu Chen didn’t mention killing the Demon Turtle, for he knew that the three female cultivators wanted nothing more than to survive and leave this place.

"That’s great!"

The three female cultivators were thrilled.

They had already had their wills ground down in the Earth Element formation where they were trapped, and had witnessed the death of two fellow sisters. That they hadn’t completely broken down was a testament to their strong mental fortitude.

"Then let’s get to it! I’ll be throwing out the Fu Ling grass soon, so just keep planting it along the way! Of course, if you run into other cultivators or martial artists, you can ask for their help as well!"

Lu Chen smiled, then his expression turned solemn, and he said in a serious tone, "But let me be clear, I’ll be fully focused on retrieving Fu Ling grass. Don’t let anyone come close to me, lest there be a misunderstanding and I end up killing them by mistake—then don’t blame me for being unfriendly!"

"Don’t worry, senior, if we encounter anyone else, we’ll definitely warn them!"

The three female cultivators quickly assured him, then Lu Chen nodded and sat down cross-legged on the ground.

Only when they had gotten some distance away did Lu Chen take out a handful of Breath Soil, casually pulling up a Fu Ling grass and planting it in the Breath Soil.

Three breaths’ time.

The Fu Ling grass grew to the equivalent of eighty years, fully matured, and produced seeds.

Lu Chen plucked the seeds, pulled out the Fu Ling grass, tossed it aside, and scattered a few seeds into the Breath Soil again.

In another three breaths, the Fu Ling grass had grown to the equivalent of twenty years’ maturity.

Lu Chen pulled it out again and tossed it toward the three female cultivators!

"This Fu Ling grass is just ordinary spiritual medicine. Why would the senior carry so much on him?"

Seeing Lu Chen throw out the Fu Ling grass in only a few breaths’ time, the three female cultivators divided the plants among themselves. While walking outside, they whispered to each other.

They all lowered their voices, knowing that someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage wouldn’t use Spiritual Sense.

"I guess he has a wondrous item that can cultivate spiritual medicine."

"I don’t believe it. If he had such a wondrous item, why would he only cultivate Fu Ling grass? Why not plant something rarer and more valuable?"

"True, it’s probably just useful for Fu Ling grass."

After a few words, they felt that even though Lu Chen had something good, it was only useful for Fu Ling grass. Given their weaker cultivation level, they dismissed any greed they might have had.

Little did they know that when Lu Chen took out the Fu Ling grass, he had indeed considered this aspect.

Fu Ling grass is mainly used to concoct Spirit Pills that, once consumed, allow the body to temporarily store spiritual power.

However, this spiritual power would gradually disappear even if unused, and was mostly used by Cultivation Sects when they went out to recruit disciples.

Immortal Sects recruit disciples by testing for Spirit Roots, which in turn require the stimulation of spiritual power.

But those young children, having never been exposed to cultivation and even if taught, lacked the power to practice it.

And so, Spirit Pills became useful, but they were not in high demand.

Typically, only ordinary sects would need them.

Like the Xuanji Sect, for example.

When the three female cultivators finished planting the Fu Ling grass and returned, there were already several hundred plants.

Shock filled their eyes. No wonder Lu Chen said they could get help from others.

"It’s a valuable item, but it’s a pity it only works for Fu Ling grass."

After the initial shock, they merely felt regret.

However, that regret quickly faded, as this increased their chances of survival significantly!

Once they were safe, surely the senior would let his guard down.

And by then, who was to say he would still be able to resist their charm?

With this thought in mind, the three of them kept coming back and forth to this place, and the Fu Ling grass meadow gradually expanded a great deal, much faster than the pace at which Lu Chen had planted it!

But despite this, the Fu Ling grass continued to grow in heaps and heaps!
