I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 515
Chapter 515: Chapter 513: Sha Yuan Fruit_1
He found a deserted corner, used the Void Nightmare Eye to scan the surrounding area, ensuring no cultivator noticed him, then put on the Thousand Masks and changed his appearance and aura.
He twisted and turned, and finally arrived at the Underworld Court.
Upon activating the Guardian Array: Five Elements Extinguishing Array and stepping into the courtyard, intense Yin Qi assaulted his senses, revealing an eerie world before him.
There was blood mist everywhere, and bizarre spiritual plants the size of a hand ran over to suck blood. The wailing of resentful spirits could be heard sporadically, like an itch clinging to the bone, refusing to go away.
Several phantom images of green-black infants scampered around the courtyard. Seeing Lu Xuan, they hurried back into the Holy Infant Fruit plant, transforming into a chaotic grey-black substance.
Lu Xuan stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking around at the various weird spiritual plants, his heart full of anticipation for the harvest.
He carefully counted the spoils from his participation in the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting.
Regarding the spiritual seeds, he had acquired a Sixth Grade Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Wood Seed, the second sixth grade seed among his plants. The value of such a rarity was self-evident.
There were three Fifth Rank spiritual seeds, each more or less associated with bizarre properties.
They were the Five Viscera Treasure Plant, the Burning Soul Flower, and the Red and White Killing Energy spiritual seed taken from the corpse of Xuan Yin Old Ghost.
In addition, he had obtained a mysterious stone coffin and various bizarre magic artifacts, elixirs from Xuan Yin Old Ghost, and the Green Cunning Elephant Demon Beast Flesh purchased at the treasure meeting.
Also, he obtained a thousand-year-old “Mysterious Life Spirit Milk” extorted from the cultivator who was selling fake seeds.
Furthermore, he had nearly seven hundred middle grade spiritual stones and several low grade spiritual stones, which had considerably boosted his wealth.
In terms of spiritual stones alone, he might be ranked amongst the top within the inner sect disciples, perhaps only surpassed by a few Nascent Souls or Golden Core offspring, and a couple of the rich-as-oil Pill Dao masters in the Dan Palace.
A fruitful trip indeed!
Lu Xuan felt his journey was worthwhile.
The cost he paid was insignificant in comparison to the treasures he had acquired.
Most of the rewards were from the opening of the light clusters, primarily the Underworld spiritual plants and two batches of matured Enchanted Immortal Peaches, which effectively cleared his overburdened storage bag.
Such a haul put Lu Xuan in high spirits.
He took out the un-planted spiritual seed he obtained from the gaunt old man and found a blank plot of Underworld Mud Flesh Spirit Loam to plant it into.
The moment he focused his senses on the seed, detailed information about it appeared in his mind.
[Sha Yuan Fruit, Fifth Rank Spirit Plant, requires absorption of large amounts of savage killing energy during cultivation, refining it into pure and rich killing energy spirit fruit.]
[Once mature, the spirit fruit can be used to temper the flesh body, greatly enhancing physical strength. When used against enemies, it carries a rich aura of killing energy that could affect the opponent.]
[It can also aid in the cultivation of corresponding divine skills or formula methods.]
[With a frail body, bear the fruit of killing energy!]
“Sure enough, it is a Fifth Rank weird spiritual plant…”
Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
“It needs to absorb killing energy during its growth? I can start with those savage weapons soaked in countless fresh blood.”
“Perhaps, if there’s a right opportunity, I could use one or two evil cultivators with strong killing energy as fertilizer, purifying the killing energy on their body?”
This wicked thought crossed his mind, causing him to marvel at his own kindness.
After all, if killing energy accumulated too much without proper purification methods, it could cause great harm to cultivators, potentially driving their divine souls into chaos, leading to their transformation.
While contemplating this, he planted the peculiar seed shaped like the five viscera and the eerie black seed into the spirit loam.
“There are increasingly more Underworld Spiritual Plants in the Underworld Court. At this rate, we might run out of space for Planting.”
“How did I, a righteous cultivator who is kind to others, turn into someone like this?”
He couldn’t help but reflect on this in his heart.
Of course, in front of the Light Cluster, this sentiment seemed a bit melodramatic.
Lu Xuan desperately wanted more high-level Weird Spiritual Plants.
After planting three newly-acquired fifth-rank Weird Spiritual Plants, Lu Xuan took out the corpse of the Green Cunning Elephant Demon Beast.
The Gluttonous Insect Pouch really was a fifth-rank treasure. Even after keeping it inside for a while, the Demon Beast’s corpse remained fresh with no signs of decay.
However, the corpse was too large to be stored in the small court, so Lu Xuan had to float it in the air and cut it into chunks of flesh and blood.
He utilized this Green Cunning Elephant Demon beast to its limits.
The Essence Blood inside was used to nourish the Blood Scourge Flower and the Blood Spirit Palm ginseng. The large pieces of meat were primarily used to feed the hungry Spirit of Flesh.
The Tiny Mischievous Pest was at a crucial stage of gestation and needed lots of high-grade Monster Beast’s flesh and blood, so he could only give the leftovers to the Strange Longevity Peach and the Thousand Worm Hands.
As for the impurities within the Demon Beast’s corpse, they were used by Lu Xuan to nurture the Filthy Bug Grass growing in the corner.
The organs of the Green Cunning Elephant were specifically separated by Lu Xuan and placed in special positions around the Five Viscera Treasure Plant Spirit Seed as per regulations.
“You have an endless supply of delicious food right after being planted.”
“So, grow vigorously, and don’t let my efforts go to waste.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth as he silently addressed the bizarre Spiritual Seeds in the Spirit soil.
He still had many Resentful Spirits, but unfortunately, they were not pure enough, infused with Yin Qi and demonic Qi, thus they were not used to cultivate Burning Soul Flower Spirit Seeds.
“Wait until I find a magic artifact or cultivation technique to refine Resentful Spirits, then use it to cultivate the Burning Soul Flower.”
He thought secretly to himself while taking out the mottled stone coffin.
He was on guard, ready to activate the fourth-rank Sword talisman anytime. Spiritual power slowly extended towards the edge of the stone coffin, carved with terrifying Evil Ghost patterns.
As he gently lifted the coffin lid, the Green-Black Resentful Infant pinned down violently by bronze nails seemed to sense a glimmer of hope for escape. Its body emitted a strong black aura, with hordes of infant Resentful Spirits drilling out from its eye sockets and attacking Lu Xuan.
“Stay still!”
Lu Xuan grunted softly, firing a golden arc from his Wind-Thunder Sword into the Green-Black Resentful Infant’s body, instantly numbing it as it struggled beneath the bronze nails.
He easily grabbed the numerous flying infant Resentful Spirits in his hands. Under strong Spiritual power pressure, the infant Resentful Spirits squeezed together, not daring to move.
“Behave and provide me with Resentful Spirits. Given time and considering your service, I might allow you some freedom.”
“But if you have any strange thoughts and try to escape from the stone coffin, don’t blame me for being harsh.”
The miniscule lightning bolts striking the Green-Black Resentful Infant caused it to tremble non-stop, its black aura about to be shaken into nothingness.
The Resentful Infant with certain spiritual intelligence made the wise decision. It absorbed the black aura back inside its body and remained motionless.
“Good, continue to supply me with infant Resentful Spirits obediently in the future. The more you provide, the more valuable you are and the longer you’ll survive.”
Lu Xuan praised the Resentful Infant, then closed the stone coffin again.
He came to the Holy Baby Fruit Plant and the two offspring plants, opened his palm, allowing the many Resentful Spirits in his hand to infiltrate the plants.
The grey-black substance on top of the fetus-like Spirit Plants instantly became denser, faintly revealing a shriveled, grey-black infant curled up inside the fetus.
