Chapter 160 An Accidental Encounter with Bamboo and Leisure, It Turns Out to Be Earthly Fruit

Upon arriving at the location, Xu Changqing knelt on one knee and squinted his eyes to examine it carefully.

Compared to its surroundings, this spot where the peculiar seed was buried had a noticeably moist feel, as if it were filled with liquid.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, so he stretched out his right index finger and poked at the sticky black soil directly below.

To my utter surprise, not only did it not penetrate, but it even showed a slight elasticity, as if it were not black soil, but a jelly-like substance.

The more force you apply, the stronger the elastic feedback becomes.

When you don’t use much force, your index finger disappears into it all at once.

Then I touched something hard, which, if I’m not mistaken, should be the peculiar seed buried inside.

Xu Changqing rubbed it a few times and found that it had not taken root or sprouted. It was still the same as last night, with nothing special about it.

But the black soil near this seed was stickier than the surrounding soil.

Xu Changqing pulled out his right index finger and held it up to his eyes to examine it.

There are some water stains, but not many.

Most of it is sticky black soil.

Moreover, the earthy smell here seems stronger than in other places.

Especially after a small hole was poked in it, the smell became increasingly pungent.

Xu Changqing was surprised and doubtful. He quickly covered it again with black soil, and the smell indeed weakened.

It seems that all the changes here stem from that seed.

Faced with this situation, he pondered for a while, then suddenly patted the green gourd at his waist, and a shovel immediately appeared. He then dug out the entire patch of black soil, along with the seeds.

Without any hesitation, they immediately ran towards the rocky mountain.

Since we cannot determine the exact nature of this seed, we cannot continue to keep it together with the various spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

If something unexpected happens, all the hard work we’ve done will be for nothing.

The black soil at the foot of the rocky mountain is relatively safer.

Because Xu Changqing planned to transplant the mutated mother rice, he was not in a hurry to plant the mutated daughter rice.

Currently, there is only one spiritual plant in the black soil there, which is the mother rice that has undergone two mutations.

Perhaps combining these two spiritual plants will bring unexpected surprises.

Not long after, Xu Changqing arrived at the foot of the stone mountain. Just as he was about to move the stone at the entrance, his spiritual sense suddenly detected someone on the mountain.

This startled him, and he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked up.

The spirit can sense that someone is above, but cannot see clearly below.

Faced with this situation, Xu Changqing thought it over and over, and simply put the black soil and seeds into the green gourd, then quickly climbed up and decided to take a look.

In any case, this place is very close to his spiritual field.

If someone seems suspicious, you must be wary of them.

Not long after, Xu Changqing arrived at the top of Stone Mountain again and looked ahead.

On the rock directly opposite, an elderly man dressed in formal white disciple robes sat cross-legged, gazing into the distance.

Xu Changqing thought for a moment and then asked, “And you are?”

The old man speculated, “It seems you are the owner of those two acres of spiritual fields behind.”

Xu Changqing nodded slightly: “Not bad.”

The old man smiled slightly: “My name is Zhu Fuxian, and I am also a formal disciple.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, “So it’s Senior Brother Zhu. My name is Xu Changqing. I’ve only been with the core of the Spirit Field for a few years. Where is your Spirit Field?”

Zhu Fuxian raised his right hand and pointed into the distance, saying, “That’s my spiritual field over there.”

Xu Changqing looked over and suddenly realized what was happening.

When I first climbed the stone mountain and looked out, I saw many spiritual fields and spiritual plants in the distance.

There are many spiritual fields.

Moreover, spiritual plants have a long growth cycle.

With these two combined, you can imagine how strong the bamboo plant in front of you is in terms of planting ability.

I thought I would never see him again, and that we would never get to know each other in my lifetime.

Unexpectedly, we had the pleasure of meeting each other this morning.

Zhu Fuxian turned around and looked the young spirit farmer up and down: “Speaking of which, your spirit field has quite a connection with me.”

Xu Changqing asked in surprise, “What?”

Zhu Fuxian smiled and said, “Ten years ago, an old friend of mine died there.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing’s lips twitched violently: “So I live in a haunted house!”

Zhu Fuxian waved his hand dismissively: “We are all cultivators, there’s no need to care about this.”

Xu Changqing said, rather speechless, “You’re not staying here, so of course you don’t need to worry about it.”

Zhu Fuxian took a deep breath and then sighed, “Ten years ago, my old friend forcibly broke through his realm, attempting to reach the level of the Golden Core of Human Character. In the end, he failed and died.”

Xu Changqing didn’t speak, but just looked at the other person intently.

The man reeked of decay.

To put it bluntly, it’s just an old-fashioned vibe.

Strangely, he did not appear old and decrepit at all; on the contrary, he was vigorous and had a long, steady breath, which was definitely not the state of someone who was about to die.

At this moment, Zhu Fuxian took out his communication talisman and said, “Junior Brother Xu, since your spirit field has a connection with me, that must be fate. Let’s keep in touch more often, and you can ask me any questions about spirit plants!”

Xu Changqing’s eyes lit up, and he immediately took the communication talisman from the other party, saying, “Perfect timing, junior brother would like to ask you something right now.”

Zhu Fuxian paused for a moment, then nodded: “Ask away.”

Xu Changqing described the peculiar seed and then asked, “Senior brother, do you know the origin of that seed?”

竹赋闲若有所思地说：“滚地龙这种妖怪，生性贪吃，尤其钟爱各种灵植，越稀有就越喜欢，你看到的那枚……如果老夫没猜错的话，应该叫地元果！”

“果实？！”徐长青愕然。

竹赋闲点头：“但凡地气浓郁之地，几乎都会生长地引草和地元果这两种灵植，也是滚地龙的食物之一。”

徐长青万万没想到，这不仅仅是一枚种子，还是一颗果核。

大妖滚地龙把地元果吞食，然后在胃囊里面将果肉消化，只剩下果核的部分因为抗性够强，所以保存下来。

最后还没来得及分解，就被下山虎猎妖队的人干掉。

“徐师弟，今天就到这里，老夫要回去照看灵植咯。”竹赋闲说着，身躯一晃，宛如一片轻飘飘的叶子，整个人随风而去。

徐长青见状，忙不迭再次拱手作揖：“恭送竹师兄！”

等对方彻底远去，他将视线收回，随后眯起眼睛。

虽然不清楚竹赋闲为什么出现在这里，但至少让自己知道这枚奇特种子到底是什么东西。

灵田百闻录、五行灵书中都有记载，这地元果可是……
