Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL] Chapter 392: Spiritual Plants Master Challenge 2

After choosing, Shen Xu went to his worktable and began working.

First, he removed several cauldrons from his storage ring, poured spiritual water into them, and soaked the blood clotting grass seed and the materials for the nutrient solution.

When that was done, he began preparing the planting pot.

This part was easy.

After putting space soil in the pot and loosening it, he buried five soil enriching earthworms in it, and left the pot to rest for an incense stick.

An incense stick later, he removed the blood clotting grass seed from the spiritual water, planted it in the pot, and moistened the soil with spiritual water.

This was not the end, though.

If left alone, the seed would germinate after several hours.

However, Shen Xu didn’t have ti to wait for the seed to germinate naturally. Knowing this, he placed his hands above the pot and began forming hand seals.

An hour later, a light green radicle broke out of the soil, and the double smiled in relief.

’It’s more taxing than I expected.’ He thought, but was nevertheless happy with his progress.

’The initial germination is done, and I won’t need to promote growth for another hour. While waiting, I will begin refining the nutrient solution.’ He thought.

After that, Shen Xu began refining the nutrient solution, completely oblivious to the world around him.

"Senior sister Zhang germinated her seed in a cup of tea, but fellow Daoist Shen needed one hour. As expected, it’s really too hard for a fire spiritual root cultivator to beco a spiritual planter." A spectator said and shook his head with pity-filled eyes.

"Am I the only one who thinks there is sothing strange about this challenge?" Soone asked in an uncertain voice.

"What do you an?" Another asked.

"Isn’t the blood clotting grass..." The speaker started, frowned, and after finding the right words, he continued.

"Isn’t the blood clotting grass too ordinary?" He finally said, and one of his companions nodded in agreent.

"I have also been thinking that." The person said and quickly continued.

"The blood clotting grass is a common spirit grass that can be found on roadsides. Why grow it for the challenge? Shouldn’t they have grown sothing more challenging?"

"What do you know?!" A female cultivator said and began explaining.

"Blood clotting grass is common and can be found everywhere in the wild. However, it’s not easy for spiritual plant masters to grow it."

"What do you an?"

Seeing that the surrounding people were waiting for her answer, the female cultivator swallowed and continued.

"For so reason, eight out of ten stalks of cultivated blood clotting grass mutates into bloodletting grass." She said and sighed before continuing.

"The blood clotting grass and the bloodletting grass look exactly alike. If a cultivator mistakenly takes the bloodletting grass, they will bleed endlessly and may lose all their blood."

"Is it so serious? Can’t a mistake be corrected with a blood clotting grass?" He asked, but the female cultivator shook her head.

"It’s not that simple." She said.

"Only the golden yarrow grass picked between two and six in the afternoon can promote blood clotting after taking the bloodletting grass."

"I didn’t know it was so serious." Soone said and the female cultivator nodded.

"It’s why most spiritual plant masters don’t dare to grow the blood clotting grass. Can you imagine the consequences if soone mistakenly takes the bloodletting grass and has to wait until the next afternoon to get the suitable golden yarrow grass?" She asked, and the surrounding people couldn’t help but feel scared.

"It’s possible for soone to bleed to death without enough blood replenishing pills." One of the spectators said.

"I suddenly feel like I need to be more careful whenever I buy blood clotting grass." Another said.

"Do you ever buy blood clotting grass?"

"Now that you ntion it..." The cultivator muttered and lowered his head in embarrassnt.

After all, they were not alchemists.

Rather than spirit grasses, they usually bought pills and didn’t have to worry about buying the wrong thing.

That said, the information opened up a new dynamic.

"Will fellow Daoist Shen be okay? What if he mistakenly grows a bloodletting grass?" Soone asked.

"He will lose five points, and depending on his score for other aspects, he will draw or lose the challenge."

At this ti, one of the spectators suddenly thought of sothing and turned to the knowledgeable female cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, you ntioned that the bloodletting grass and the blood clotting grass look exactly the sa. How can alchemists tell them apart?" The person asked.

"Cultivated blood clotting grass and bloodletting grass look the sa. However, those that grow naturally in the wild are slightly different."

After saying that, the female cultivator sighed and continued.

"No one knows why such a thing happens when cultivating the blood clotting grass." She said.

"What about the bloodletting grass? Does it mutate to the blood clotting grass when planted?" Soone asked, but the female cultivator shook her head.

"Only the blood clotting grass behaves that way." She answered and shifted her attention to the stage.

Zhang i spent two hours refining her nutrient solution.

After using it, her blood clotting grass grew faster, and she took the lead with an obvious margin.

On the other hand, Shen Xu spent half a day refining his nutrition solution.

During that ti, he urged his plant once an hour, but the result was a lot worse than Zhang i’s.

However, the double didn’t fret and continued to perfect his nutrient solution.

More than half a day after the challenge started, Shen Xu finally refined his nutrient solution and buried so in the pot.

The result was instantaneous!

In the blink of an eye, the limp grass gained vitality and began absorbing the surrounding qi greedily.

At the sa ti, Shen Xu used hand seals to urge growth, and the grass didn’t disappoint.

After an incense stick of hard work, the doubles’ blood clotting grass grew to half the size of Zhang i’s grass.

’Let the counterattack begin.’ Shen Xu thought with a satisfied expression.
