Chapter 617: Look how hungry the child is.
Chapter 609 – Look at What the Child is Hungry For
Lu Xuan never thought that the once ordinary and mediocre little loose cultivator would one day become a genius of the Sword Dao.
With the fifth-grade treasure Tongming Sword Heart, coupled with the process of cultivating two fifth-grade sword grasses, with the special ability to drill and grope on the spiritual plant’s own sword intent, he had finally created these two fifth-grade sword techniques on his own.
“When they are perfected, the Peacock Bright King Sword is considered to be able to stimulate its full potential.”
He touched the golden yellow giant sword at his waist and continued to patrol around the spirit field.
“Before I left the sect, the Xuan Worm Vine, Earth Fire Heart Lotus, Five Elements Fruit, and other Fourth Grade Spiritual Plants that I obtained from the Hall of Sinnoh have all entered the maturity stage.”
Lu Xuan had a subtle sense of accomplishment in his heart as he looked at the many spirit plants that were growing well in various parts of the spirit field.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to open such treasures as the Taolu Insect Sac and the Illusory Five Elements Formation in the Time Group in time.”
After taking care of all the spirit plants, he made some preparations and decided to make a trip to the Sea of Thunder to collect some more Spirit Thunder and return, and in the meantime, see if he could ask for a channel with a large amount of Spirit Thunder from the Thunder Harvest Beast.
Before leaving, he opened the two fifth-grade formations, the Illusory Five Elements Formation and the Cloud Bamboo Arrow Formation, and instructed the Grass Puppet that possessed the four Arrow Vines to guard the spiritual fields well, and then, harnessing the Wind and Thunder Sword, he rushed to the Sea of Thunder at breakneck speeds.
Arriving at the entrance of the Thunder Sea, he looked at the boundless ocean of thunder in front of him, stopped his body, and took out the Thunder Fire Order.
Behind him, there were three other cultivators, all with no less than late stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.
“However, I am only a Spiritual Planter with low strength, so I only intend to move around the periphery and don’t quite dare to go deeper inside.”
“One more person is more strength, these few of us have already had several experiences of exploring the Thunder Sea together, and we can still trust each other.”
There were a few moments of surprise in the voice.
“Alright, Fellow Daoist Zhang, since this Fellow Daoist Lu is unwilling, let’s forget about it.”
“…… What did I show up here to do without entering the Sea of Thunder?”
Lu Xuan sniffed and frowned slightly, pondering for a while before finally refusing:
“Then, is Fellow Daoist Lu willing to go deeper into the Thunder Sea with a few of us?”
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Zhang! Quite a coincidence indeed.”
The naive youth invited Lu Xuan.
A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth, this naive youth named Zhang Zhizong, with a cultivation level of late Foundation Establishment, was less than a hundred miles away from his cave, and the two of them had met a few times, and were considered to be nodding acquaintances.
“Thank you, Taoist Zhang for your kind invitation, only that I am not good at fighting, and I only have a little bit of means to save my life on my body, so I am afraid that I will drag you guys down if I rashly join the team of a few of my fellow Taoist friends.”
Lu Xuan spat out a sentence in his heart, his face still maintaining a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Lu is also planning to enter the Thunder Sea to explore the secret realm?”
He said truthfully.
Just as he was about to inspect the Heavenly Star Cave cultivators guarding the entrance to the passageway, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
The naive youth introduced Lu Xuan to the remaining three cultivators and asked out loud.
“It’s to go in and explore the Thunder Sea to see if we can find a few strands of Spirit Lightning, a few Spirit Ores or something.”
Lu Xuan followed the voice and saw a young cultivator with a naive appearance walking towards him.
“Fellow Daoist Lu? Such a coincidence to bump into you here.”
He said in an extremely earthy tone.
When Zhang Zhizong was about to continue inviting Lu Xuan, a handsome young cultivator behind him with a somewhat gloomy temperament walked out, glanced at Lu Xuan, and spoke out.
“Since that’s the case, then we won’t force you, Fellow Daoist Lu.”
Seeing the general attitude of the other three associates, the naive youth no longer insisted on inviting them and cupped his fists to Lu Xuan.
“Good.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
“I wish Fellow Daoist Zhang as well as several other Fellow Daoists to find the treasures of their choice in the depths of the Thunder Sea and return safely.”
He eyed the four people as they entered the Thunder Sea passageway. When the silhouettes of the several people were about to disappear, he transmitted a thought to the Cloud Treading Lynx hidden in the Beast Harnessing Tag.
“Are you saying that you found an evil spirit aura among these people?”
“Ow……”
The Treading Cloud Lynx lazily landed on the ground, its turquoise eye pupils had a strange light flowing through them, and with a few familiar pinching intentions, it lowly roared.
Lu Xuan followed its guidance and looked towards the back of the cultivator with a gloomy aura.
A layer of misty spiritual light then surged in his eyes.
Under the Delusion-Breaking Pupil Technique, he detected an abnormality on the young cultivator’s body; on the surface of his body, there was a layer of faint black gas, and from time to time, a blurry ghostly face emerged inside the black gas, squeezing together and seemingly fusing into one.
Before he could see a true picture, several people took the lead in entering the thunder sea channel.
“It is indeed related to evil spirits.”
“I also don’t know if there is an evil spirit parasitizing or occupying its body, or if it possesses some kind of evil treasure, or cultivates some evil and poisonous technique.”
Lu Xuan secretly thought in his heart.
However, all of this didn’t have much to do with him, as long as he didn’t run into them inside the Sea of Thunder, and the few people didn’t have any malicious intent towards him.
Once they wanted to be unfavorable to themselves, the Netherworld Spirit Field happened to be in need of a large number of high-quality souls, blood, flesh, and bones.
It was completely possible to do so without wasting a single bit.
As for that Zhang Zhizong, who he had met a few times, Lu Xuan did not make a sound to remind him.
For one, the friendship between the two was really average, not much different from strangers, so it was not worth the trouble.
Furthermore, several people were in the same group, perhaps he had already known about the abnormality in the gloomy youth, or maybe he had a part to play in it.
Although he seemed to be kind enough to invite himself into the Sea of Thunder to explore, Lu Xuan was clear that it was all just appearances.
After entering the secret realm, even if the friendship was deep, in front of the treasures, it was highly likely that they would flip out on the spot and kill to seize the treasures.
Inviting himself wasn’t necessarily out of good intentions yet.
Being cautious, Lu Xuan purposely circled around the edge of the Thunder Sea for a few moments before arriving at the entrance of the passageway.
After presenting his Thunder Flame Order to the Heavenly Star Cave cultivator guarding the passageway, Lu Xuan entered the sea of thunder with countless subtle thunder awns roaming around.
There were constant thunder explosions in his ears, but Lu Xuan was unafraid, his throat gently drumming, his mouth emitting a sound that was similar to that of the thunder.
High above his head, the Void Nightmare Eye appeared and disappeared in the thunderstorms, sharing the view it observed into the grayish pupil of Lu Xuan’s bulging hand.
A moment later, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise as he detected a familiar aura ahead of him.
A few moments later, a silver-white wolf-shaped beast accompanied by a streak of thunder, pounced on Lu Xuan.
It was precisely the Thunder Harvest Beast that had been guarding the vicinity of the passageway, begging for demonic beast meat from passing cultivators.
It let out a whimpering sound from its mouth as its figure sped like lightning, instantly pouncing in front of Lu Xuan.
With its round belly resting on the ground, it looked towards Lu Xuan with a thirsty look in its eyes.
“Look at this child, how hungry it has become.”
Lu Xuan smiled and took out a piece of demonic beast meat from his storage bag and threw it to the Thunder Hollow Beast.
Once he came across this Thunder Harvest Beast every time he entered the Sea of Thunder, out of the Spiritual Planter’s habit, he would stop and feed this wild demonic beast with demonic beast meat or spirit fruits.
Occasionally, he would also come across the fae Thunderhawk Beast that contained the bloodline of a Thunder Rhinoceros, and Lu Xuan treated it with the same attitude.
After more than a few times, a certain level of friendship was established with these two Thunder Hollow Beasts.
