Chapter 393 – Ghostly Mud Flesh
Chapter 393 – Ghost Mud Meat
A long time later, as Lu Xuan and the others searched within the dark red passageway, the Demonic Ghost Vine quietly burrowed out of the dark red spiritual soil and returned to Lu Xuan’s vestment.
On the gray vine, there were eighteen deep green spirit seeds like tiny fingers embedded.
“Not bad, not bad, good performance, when we leave the blessed land, we’ll properly give you some spirit fruits to taste.”
Lu Xuan praised the Demon Ghost Vine in a small voice.
The Demonic Ghost Vine was able to keenly sense the aura of Spirit Seeds, it wasn’t rare to find the Thousand Gnarled Hands Spirit Seeds in that area, what was rare was to be able to bring all the Spirit Seeds back intact under the premise that Lu Xuan wasn’t around.
The vines contained their favorite delicacies, yet they were able to resist the great temptation and honestly hand them all over to Lu Xuan, it would be hard not to praise them.
“Eighteen Thousand Gnarled Hand Spirit Seeds, even if they can only set up a simple formation, it’s still considered not bad.”
Lu Xuan lamented in his heart as he followed behind the crowd and entered the depths of the dark red passageway.
“Hm? What is this thing?”
Under the dim light, a fellow Late Foundation Establishment Sect member grabbed a slender black and red insectoid that flew out quickly from the darkness and exclaimed in shock.
The black and red bugbear looked like it was pulled out of a pile of rotten meat, a glance at it was somewhat nauseating, and a rich Yin Qi came from its body, constantly spewing out a sinister and filthy aura towards the cultivator.
The good thing is that the attack power is not very strong, the strength is in the middle of practicing qi consummation to pre-basic stage, was that late basic stage fellow disciples easily resolved.
It was just that the number was extremely high, making it unbearable to be disturbed.
Lu Xuan noticed that those black and red rotten flesh bugbears were drilling out from a piece of ghostly black spirit soil, and the spirit soil faintly had a rotten flesh and blood scent.
When he passed by that piece of dark spiritual soil, his spiritual sense was keenly aware of the change in the Yin Qi, and his palm transformed into a crystalline jade color, with a thick layer of spiritual power covering its surface, and grabbed a black and red bugbear that had sneaked up on him.
Before he pinched it off, he violently inputted a spiritual power in the process, thus learning the detailed information about the black and red bugbear.
[Flesh-eating Seed Bug, Third Grade Bugbear, likes to stay in the flesh of the Phantom Mud, allowing the flesh and blood scent in the spirit soil to nourish itself, extremely possessive, likes to devour the spirit seed in the flesh of the Phantom Mud, can refine it into a special compulsion].
[Psi Mud Flesh, under the influence of ordinary spirit soil through years of powerful flesh and blood power, it has evolved into this special spirit soil, forbidden to contain rich flesh and blood spirit power, it can be used to cultivate certain special spirit plants].
[Normal spiritual plants growing in the ghost mud meat will be affected by the blood and flesh spiritual power inside for a long time, with a high probability of mutation, or even plant alienation to grow blood and flesh parts.]]
“Flesh?”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel a hint of interest as he looked at the ghostly black spirit soil beside his feet.
He squatted down and scrutinized the spirit soil.
Under the constant warming of the Yun Shen Post, his Spiritual Sense had improved very quickly, and he was able to keenly perceive that in the depths of this Spiritual Soil that was like dried flesh and mud, there was an evil flesh and blood power, and after being close to the Spiritual Soil for a long period of time, there was a vague itch coming from his calf, as if there were subtle buds of flesh that were trying to squeeze out from the surface of his skin.
“Containing blood and flesh spiritual power …… This Psi Mud Flesh Spiritual Loam is somewhat strange.”
“However, with the seed-eating flesh worm, a small air demonic insect, in this spiritual soil, it’s unlikely that it will be able to grow any other spiritual plants.”
A layer of misty spiritual light appeared on Lu Xuan’s legs, sweeping the evil aura clean.
“What, did Senior Brother Lu discover something?”
A middle-aged cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage curiously approached Lu Xuan when he saw him staying still for a long time.
“There’s something odd about this spiritual soil, I couldn’t help but look at it a few more times.”
Lu Xuan blurted out.
“Oh? These ghostly black soils are actually spirit soil? No wonder it’s raising those weird demonic insects.”
The middle-aged cultivator came over.
Lu Xuan graciously stepped aside, not minding the middle-aged cultivator’s behavior. With his attainments in the Spirit Plant Dao, he could only recognize the Evil Psi Mud Flesh by virtue of his hang-ups, and he didn’t believe that this fellow Late Foundation Establishment Sect member would be able to discern anything about it.
“Senior Li, when did you become interested in spirit soil?”
The middle-aged cultivator had just squatted down, when Fire Liner, who had noticed the movement on Lu Xuan’s side, rushed over, with a few hints of yin and yang in his tone.
“Just looking, looking.”
Seeing the True Transmission step forward, the only trace of curiosity the middle-aged cultivator had was gone, and he left resentfully.
“Senior Brother Lu, is there some interest in this odd spirit soil?”
Fire Liner asked curiously.
“Many thanks to Senior Brother Fire for his righteousness.”
Lu Xuan cupped his fists to express his gratitude to the Fire Red Child.
“Back to Senior Brother, I do have some interest in this Special Spirit Soil, and I want to get some to return to the Sect and study it to try it out.”
“If Senior Brother Lu is interested, then bring all the spirit soil back.”
There was a hint of unquestionable dominance in the boy’s tone.
“Is this appropriate?”
After all, it was a JieDan real person who organized a large-scale exploration of the blessed land by sect cultivators, and the various treasures found in the blessed land could not be taken for themselves at will, but had to be reported to the sect.
“I still have this bit of power.”
Fire Liner said blandly.
“What’s more, Senior Brother, you have taken great credit in exploring the opening of the blessed land, and may even be above our three True Legends, it’s just some spirit soil, not a rare treasure, plus the nature is odd and evil, it’s not a good thing at first glance, and only fellow disciples who are intoxicated with spirit plants like Senior Brother would have the idea to obtain it.”
“Therefore, even if you, Senior Brother Lu, take away all of these weird spirit loams, Senior Uncle JieDan won’t have any opinions.”
During the process of opening up this blessed land, Lu Xuan had first taken the lead in the sect’s research on mutant spirit plants, far ahead of the rest of the spirit planters.
After being specially invited into the blessed land, with the help of his understanding of mutant spirit plants, he exchanged many precious and valuable spirit plant varieties from the other two sects, and researched the scent place of the Cuscuta Yin Silk, thus making the Heavenly Sword Sect’s exploration process one step faster than the other two sects, and by doing so, he obtained a large amount of cultivation resources.
In addition, when a group of Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators encountered many mutant spirit plants that could form a formation against the enemy, it was Lu Xuan who proposed a method to deal with them, easily solving a major problem.
In the entire process of opening up the blessed land, Lu Xuan could be said to have made a significant contribution.
“Then I’ll make myself at home.”
Lu Xuan took out a large-capacity vessel from his storage bag and swept all the Psi Mud Flesh into it, then sealed it with the Spirit Prohibiting and Evil Expelling Talismans and re-incorporated it into his storage bag.
Occasionally, there were fellow disciples passing by, and when they saw this scene, they all treated it as if it was nothing and hurriedly passed by.
“However, there is one thing that I must remind you, Senior Brother Lu, this Spiritual Soil looks extremely evil, if Senior Brother wants to use it for experimental research, he must also beware of the rest of the normal Spiritual Plants planted being assimilated and contaminated by it, and alienating into other Spiritual Plants.”
Fire Liner’s tender face had a bit of solemnity on it.
“Many thanks to Senior Fire Brother for his kind reminder, I will definitely avoid this situation.”
Lu Xuan revealed a harmless smile.
“As long as I use this Phantom Mud Flesh to cultivate the Netherworld Spirit Plants, then there will be absolutely no worries about the Spirit Plants being contaminated and alienated.”
He secretly added in his inner mind.
