Chapter 10: The Spiritual Field is robbed

When night fell, Su Qingwu followed his usual habit, fetched spiritual spring water, watered the spiritual plants, and then returned to the house to meditate.

In the early morning of the next day, he stopped practicing and walked out of the wooden house.

After scanning the spiritual field, her expression changed slightly and she walked quickly towards the southeast corner.

At the corresponding location, nearly fifty spiritual plants disappeared.

Not only that, a hole with a diameter of about a foot appeared on the spiritual field.

Careful observation revealed that there were some remnants of the roots of the herb in the soil.

There was a thief in the yard?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the voices of more than ten spiritual plants reached Su Qingwu's ears.

"A big guy crawled out from the ground last night. I was almost scared to death!"

"It's gray, I don't know what it is, I've never seen it before~"

"It has a very long, bald tail, and the rest of its body is covered in hair. It has very sharp teeth."

"More than 50 of our companions were eaten. If there hadn't been a two-legged beast passing by outside at that time and it had been scared away by the footsteps, we would have all been in trouble..."

Since entering the sect, Su Qingwu has only been exposed to knowledge about spiritual plants and cultivation, and has never known anything about monsters.

Hearing the voices of these spiritual plants, she guessed that they were rats based on her past life experience.

Just as she was concentrating on thinking of a solution, there was a knock on the gate.

Su Qingwu collected his thoughts and walked slowly.

Not long after, the gate opened with a creaking sound, and Sun Ruolan stood outside with an anxious look on her face.

When he saw her, he immediately asked, "Junior Sister Su, is there anything unusual in the spiritual field in your yard today?"

Su Qingwu nodded and said frankly, "Yes, it looks like they were eaten by unknown monsters. More than fifty plants were lost."

"Alas, the situation in my yard is even more serious. Nearly half of the spiritual plants have been lost."

Sun Ruolan took out a small tuft of gray hair and continued, "I found this in the spiritual field. It must have been left by the culprit!"

Judging from the color alone, it matches the monster described by the spiritual plant.

Su Qingwu thought for a moment and asked carefully, "Are there any holes in the spiritual field in Senior Sister Sun's yard?"

"Yes! It is basically certain that it is something that can burrow into the ground. Junior Sister Su, should we go find the steward together and explain the situation?"

"Well, this monster might come again. Since it burrows underground, it is hard to guard against. We should deal with it as soon as possible."

"So shall we go there now?"

"good!"

......

After a cup of tea, we arrived at Ming'an Palace on Heyun Peak.

This is where the stewards of Qianzhi Sect's outer peaks usually stay. Outer disciples can come here for help when they encounter difficulties.

This was the first time for Su Qingwu and Sun Ruolan. Seeing the palace door wide open, they did not go in directly, but stood outside and stated their purpose first.

As soon as the words fell, a gentle female voice came from inside, asking them to enter the hall.

The two men walked in side by side. There were three stewards in the hall, all of whom were at the foundation-building stage.

The female cultivator who had spoken earlier was named Du Xinzhi. She was wearing a light blue phoenix-tail skirt and had her hair tied up in a high bun. She was the most powerful among the three.

Seeing the two new disciples, she asked with a smile:

"Just now you mentioned that something went wrong with the spiritual plants planted in the courtyard. What exactly happened?"

Sun Ruolan was a little nervous facing the butler. Although she was very talkative in the past, she was unable to speak clearly at this moment.

Su Qingwu saw this and immediately spoke:

"In the courtyard where I and Senior Sister Sun are, there are holes on the spiritual fields. Some spiritual plants have disappeared. Senior Sister Sun also found a small tuft of gray hair. We suspect that a monster has sneaked in at night. We are worried that the monster will come again in the future. We don't know how to prevent it, so we came to ask for help from several senior uncles."
