Chapter 654
When Han Changkong and He Ran heard the news, they were also confused.
What the hell, there is an unexpected gain?
I just don't know if these 10,000 contribution points are enough to exchange for a few evil spells.
Forget it, there is no rush now. I will go to the library to take a look after I have completed the spiritual herb mission.
In the following days, Han Changkong and He Ran took good care of the Lingxu grass every day.
Under their careful care, these Lingxu grasses were growing steadily and orderly according to the records in the planting manual.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
One day, when Han Changkong was inspecting the medicinal field as usual, his eyes were suddenly attracted by several Lingxu grasses.
Those Lingxu grasses were growing at an extremely abnormal speed. Their stems and leaves seemed to be injected with infinite vitality, stretching and rising madly. Strange and brilliant light was flashing on the leaves, as if fragments of stars had fallen into them.
Han Changkong's triangular eyes rolled around, and he started to make a plan in his mind. He didn't think of shouting about this matter immediately, but first quietly pulled He Ran aside and said slyly:
"He Ran, let's not make it public for now. This mutated Lingxu grass might be a great treasure, so we can't let others get it for free. I'll think about it secretly first. If I can keep this benefit for myself, we will be rich in this Li Ren Sect."
He Ran hesitated:
"Brother Kong, this isn't a good idea. If we get caught, the sect will blame us and that will be disastrous."
Han Changkong chuckled and patted He Ran on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, silly boy. I know what's going on. Let's keep a low profile for now and make plans once we understand the situation."
Just as the two of them were whispering here, other disciples in the surrounding medicine fields were also attracted by the movement here.
When some disciples saw the strange light emitted by these mutated Lingxu grass and their crazy growth, greed and covetousness appeared in their eyes.
"Hmph, this Lingxu Grass must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter to become like this. If I could possess it, perhaps it would allow my cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds."
A disciple muttered softly, with evil thoughts flashing in his eyes.
Han Changkong and He Ran were keenly aware of the unfriendly looks around them. They were startled and knew that trouble was coming.
"He Ran, let's strengthen the protection of these Lingxu herbs first. We must not let others get their hands on them easily."
Although Han Changkong felt a little nervous, he still pretended to be calm and said.
He Ran nodded, and the two of them quickly set up a simple defensive formation around the Lingxu grass. Although this formation was not as powerful as the sect's mountain protection formation, it was enough to temporarily block the prying of some people with ulterior motives.
While strengthening the protection, Han Changkong and He Ran also began to study the reasons for the mutation of these Lingxu grass.
Han Changkong paced around the medicinal field pretending to be nonchalant while secretly injecting divine power into the ground. He also looked around from time to time, fearing that he would be discovered.
Suddenly, his divine power seemed to have touched something extremely hard and full of powerful energy, and an ancient and mysterious aura was fed back along with his divine power.
"He Ran, there seems to be something underground."
Han Changkong spoke in a low voice, looking like a mouse that had stolen cheese, excited and nervous at the same time.
When He Ran heard this, he quickly used his magical powers to explore together.
With the combined efforts of the two of them, they finally discovered the secret hidden under the medicinal field - a fragment of an ancient divine stone.
This fragment of the divine stone emits a faint blue light, and is engraved with some vague mysterious runes. Each rune seems to be telling the glory and mystery of the ancient times.
The spiritual energy around the fragments of the divine stone continued to spread outward like a surging tide. It was this powerful spiritual energy that affected the growth of the Lingxu grass and caused it to mutate.
