Chapter 29: Ancient Shaman Spirit Blood Xue Chiluo

Su Jin returned home from school, set down her schoolbag and small basket, and ran straight to the backyard.

The red ginseng seedlings in her family's plot were each vigorously waving their tiny leaves as if reporting grievances to her.

"I heard, I heard, I'll catch the bugs in the soil right away," Su Jin replied helplessly.

Although these little red ginsengs could not transmit their thoughts to her as clearly as Little Wu Tian, nor communicate with her, they were still capable of expressing their emotions.

Such as panic, such as pain, such as fear, such as disgust, and such as reporting grievances.

The moment she entered the house, this group of little ones transmitted all sorts of emotions to her.

Most of these emotions were about bugs, "Help!", and reporting grievances.

Su Jin took out silver needles and vigorously chased and killed the bugs in the soil. After quite a while, she finally cleared the ground beneath the little red ginsengs.

This time, she caught a full ten white-thread hookworms.

The bugs she caught this time were not immediately destroyed; instead, they were placed into a small wooden box.

Sister Yun had just caught a common spirit hen, along with six chicks.

These bugs would serve as a perfect extra meal for them.

Although white-thread hookworms are pests, they are also genuine spirit insects; for spirit hens to eat them would bring great benefits.

"The bugs caught today seem a bit too many; this isn't right either. I remember when Father planted the red ginseng, there weren't this many bugs in the early stages?

Father's red ginseng seedlings were raised for about a month, yet only five or six bugs could be caught from one mu of land. How is it that when I plant red ginseng, in such a small patch, with seedlings only planted for eight or nine days, I can catch so many white-thread hookworms?

Are the red ginseng seedlings I planted just that fragrant?

If this continues until the red ginseng is nearly mature, blooming and bearing fruit, won't the entire field be infested with bugs?

Will my red ginseng even survive?"

The more Su Jin thought about it, the more depressed she became.

"Later, I must go to the clan school and read more books on pest control," Su Jin thought silently.

In the following days, while Su Jin diligently pondered and comprehended the Cultivation Technique, striving to achieve Three Methods as soon as possible, she also ran to the clan school's library every single day to search for prescriptions to deal with white-thread hookworms. Su Jin searched many bookshelves and finally found a dust-covered book in the bottom corner of one shelf. Its title was "Six Hundred Cases of Pest Control," authored by Su Pangjun.

Within this book, which looked utterly ordinary and simple, Su Jin found the method she sought for preventing and controlling white-thread hookworms.

To eliminate bugs from red ginseng, the book introduced three methods.

One of them was a medicinal prescription.

According to this prescription, if the medicinal liquid is sprayed once every half month, white-thread hookworms can be completely eradicated.

However... Su Jin looked at the prescription. None of the medicinal ingredients required were cheap, and furthermore, the medicinal liquid had to be prepared every half month; it was simply unaffordable, unaffordable.

The second method was to find a special spirit hen called the Pan Shan Chicken and raise it at home; the Pan Shan Spirit Hen specifically eats this kind of white-thread hookworm. As long as a spirit hen is raised, there is no need to worry about white-thread hookworms destroying the red ginseng, because the white-thread hookworms will end up in the chicken's stomach.

However, the Pan Shan Chicken, to Su Jin's knowledge, had long since gone extinct. Therefore, this second method was also impossible.

The third method, the book stated, was a legend heard by the author; it was uncertain whether such a thing truly existed.

Legend has it that in the ancient era, the Great Shamans of the Wood Shaman lineage would cultivate a mutated red ginseng, which they named Blood Xue Chiluo. Blood Xue Chiluo itself was a symbiotic spirit beast cultivated by the Wood Shamans; it was a wood-element spirit creature.

As soon as Blood Xue Chiluo was born, it possessed its own spiritual intelligence. They were utterly loyal to their masters. They could also guard and cultivate various types of ginseng spirit herbs, capable of driving away and devouring numerous pests.

Even more capable than a watchdog.

The key point is that Blood Xue Chiluo is exceptionally skilled at eating bugs; as long as a few Blood Xue Chiluo are raised in one's herb garden, the flowers and plants in the Wood Shamans' herb gardens would be blissful, with no bugs left to threaten them.

Blood Xue Chiluo also possesses an innate divine ability: it can draw the blood and bodily fluids of all living beings from a distance to strengthen itself. It is said that high-level Blood Xue Chiluo can even nourish their masters in return.

As for exactly how they would nourish their masters, the book did not write.

Su Jin thought to herself: Su Pangjun dropping the ball at a critical moment??

The author, Su Pangjun, held the ancient Blood Xue Chiluo in extremely high regard.

He even said it was a pity he was not a person of the ancient era; otherwise, he would definitely try to get a few to raise.

After finishing the book, Su Jin wondered: Is the Blood Xue Chiluo mentioned in this book the one raised in her Little Wu Tian?

After all, they are both called Blood Xue Chiluo!!

If that little seedling in her Little Wu Tian truly is an ancient Blood Xue Chiluo, how should she get it out of Little Wu Tian to help her guard those little red ginsengs?

Su Jin held the book in her hand and began searching for other books concerning ancient Blood Xue Chiluo.

Unfortunately, she searched for a long time but found none.

In the end, she could only take away "Six Hundred Cases of Pest Control."

Early the next morning, as soon as she arrived at the classroom, she saw Su Wuji sitting in his seat, beaming with joy.

Su Cheng and Su Yunhu were both smiling broadly, congratulating him.

"What happened?" Su Jin asked as she sat down in her own chair.

"Hahaha, I broke through to the second layer of Qi Refinement last night," Su Wuji said.

"How are you so amazing? We have only been cultivating for fifteen days!" Su Jin said, both shocked and admiring.

"Isn't there the Spirit Gathering Array assisting? Besides, Grandfather also brought back a Spirit Pear. With so much assistance, of course I broke through earlier. However, this isn't anything special; I heard someone broke through to the second layer of Qi Refinement three days ago. They probably consumed plenty of good things as well."

"My aunt also said she would get me a Spirit Fish to eat in a couple of days," Su Cheng said.

"My father also said he would get me a few jin of Spirit Beef," Su Yunhu added.

"If I cultivate normally, I should be able to break through to the second layer of Qi Refinement in about ten more days," Su Jin thought for a moment and said. "Whether it's a few days earlier or later, there shouldn't be much difference."

"But I still want to be a few days earlier," Su Cheng said.

"Me too," Su Yunhu echoed.

"Then you should strive to break through in these next few days," Su Jin encouraged. Su Jin's Body Refinement Cultivation Technique had finally been mastered by her, and she planned to begin practicing the Think of Three Methods today.

"Su Jin, why don't you ask your family to prepare some spirit items for you? I believe that after eating spirit items, you will break through to the second layer of Qi Refinement very quickly," Su Wuji asked, puzzled.

"Whether it's a few days earlier or later, the difference isn't actually that big, as you all know; breaking through from the second layer of Qi Refinement to the third layer is even harder, okay? Besides, I also want to practice the Think of Three Methods; perhaps my breakthroughs will be even later in the future.

So it is better to break through a bit later, allowing me to adapt first."

Su Wuji and Su Cheng, upon hearing this, both turned as pale as earth.
