Chapter 526 – Heartworm
Chapter 526 – Bewitching Heart Vermin
“In a spirit beast’s sea of consciousness?”
Realist Cangwu showed a difficult expression.
The Sea of Consciousness was the most complicated place for spirit beasts, and the slightest mishap would cause the spirit beast to fall into madness or even die on the spot.
“But evil spirits have invaded? Can a talisman take out the foreign matter inside the spirit beast’s sea of consciousness with an evil repelling and purifying type of treasure?”
He asked Chen Luo, who had a gloomy temperament.
“It can be tried.”
Chen Luo simply replied back, taking out a jade talisman with clear light surging from his storage bag and coming in front of a spirit beast.
Under the control of spiritual energy, the clear light on top of the jade talisman flowed, surging into the abnormal spirit beast like a stream of water.
Half a moment later, the clear light above the jade talisman dimmed a lot, while the spirit beast did not change in any way, and still had a ferocious, devouring appearance.
“I’ll do it.”
Realist Cangwu walked forward and a square jade seal appeared in front of him.
A stirring dragon roar came from inside the jade seal, and then, a scaly dragon silhouette shot out of it, soaring through the clouds and encircling an abnormal spirit beast.
A great suction force came from the jiao dragon’s shadow, the suction force contained a pure and natural aura that calmed and tranquilized the hearts of Lu Xuan and the others who were far away.
After a long time, the Jiao Dragon Shadow automatically loosened and retreated back into the square jade seal.
“It shouldn’t be due to evil spirits.”
Realist Cangwu said indifferently.
“This jade seal of mine is a fifth-grade treasure with an extremely strong effect of repelling evil, this is not even able to detect the aura of an evil spirit, so I guess it’s something else lurking within the sea of consciousness of the spirit beast.”
“Does master nephew Lu have a solution?”
He turned his head to look at Lu Xuan who had been silent.
“My attainments in Spirit Beasts are far inferior to those of the two Senior Brothers, I can only claim to know a little bit about it, however, each person specializes in a different direction in Spirit Beasts, and I for one love to go searching for some strange and bizarre Spirit Beasts canonical books on a regular basis, so perhaps I can give it a go.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
He arrived in front of a Four-Winged Thunderstorm Tiger Spirit Beast with a calm demeanor under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
This Four-Winged Thunderstorm Tiger was huge and had the strength of a Fourth Grade, so naturally, it wasn’t the one he had tamed earlier.
Lu Xuan ignored the threat of the trapped Four-Winged Thunderstorm Tiger in front of him, and simply took out a Beast Spirit Pill from his storage bag and stuffed it into its mouth.
“These abnormal spirit beasts probably haven’t eaten for some time, so I’ll feed them a Beast Spirit Pill to appease them slightly.”
Lu Xuan found a reason for his actions that was not too bad.
As the Beast Spirit Pill was forced into the Four-Winged Thunderstorm Tiger, his mind condensed on its body, and immediately, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Four-winged Thunderstorm Tiger, Fourth Grade Spiritual Beast, its speed is one of the best amongst demonic beasts of the same rank, after growing to a certain stage, it will automatically comprehend and control lightning techniques, its temperament is tyrannical, and it is extremely difficult to tame].
[Abnormal state, when the Vermin Vermin invades the sea of consciousness, the mind will be lost, and will be in a state of frenzy, with strong aggressiveness].
[The Vermin Bug is a foreign insect, its full body strength is between the third and fifth grade demonic beasts, its movements are secretive and extremely difficult to detect.]
It likes to lurk in the sea of consciousness of the target object, feeding on the invisible spiritual consciousness, gradually eating the spiritual consciousness of demonic beasts or cultivators, causing their minds to be lost, falling into a state of frenzy, and eventually completely integrating into the sea of consciousness of the occupying demonic beasts, no distinction between them.
The simpler the mind, the lower the spiritual awareness, the easier it is to be contaminated by the invasion of the mind-obsessed vipers, which can be lured out by the increase of spiritual awareness-type treasures.
[The one who messes with my mind!
“So it’s this thing that’s causing trouble.”
Lu Xuan closed his eyes and pretended to carefully investigate the abnormal spirit beast.
“The Mystic Heart Vermin, a foreign insect from beyond the heavens that doesn’t belong to this realm, with odd abilities and secretive movements, no wonder even with the strength of Cangwu Realist at the JieDan realm, he didn’t detect it.” He thought in his mind, feeling more and more that the current cultivation world was surging with dark currents.
Previously in the Fire Cloud Cave, found that there is a foreign insect from the Inflammatory Demon Worm Mother, and now there is the so-called Mystic Heart Vermin Bug, both of which come from outside the domain, and such frequent appearance of foreign insects from outside the domain, so that Lu Xuan’s heart is alarmed greatly.
“However, before that, the problem of these spirit beasts must be solved.”
Various thoughts flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.
He hesitated for a moment and finally decided to reveal some of the information to Realist Cangwu.
He had stayed in the Heavenly Sword Sect for more than twenty years, and had been sheltered by the sect in various ways, and had received a large amount of cultivation resources and spirit seeds from within the sect, causing him to acquire more and more light clusters at an increasing rate and with more and more lucrative rewards, and to be able to give something back to the sect without endangering himself, Lu Xuan’s heart was naturally happy to do so.
Furthermore, if he was unable to solve the problem of these Mystic Heart Vermin Insects that had invaded the sea of consciousness of the Spirit Beasts in a timely manner, it would most likely result in the number of Spirit Beasts that had undergone abnormalities increasing, and would even affect his farming career within the Sect.
In order to have a better environment for farming, this amount of effort was nothing.
Anyway, he had long since realized his identity as a spiritual planter genius, so it was reasonable to know a little more about spirit beasts.
Lu Xuan thought in his heart as he walked up to the crowd.
“Master Nephew Lu, have you found anything?”
Realist Cangwu asked as usual, without much expectation in his heart.
Even Chen Luo, who had high hopes, could only have a vague guess, and the likelihood of Lu Xuan, whose strength was relatively worse and whose experience with spirit beasts was even more shallow, discovering something new would only be even lower.
“A bit more luck, found something.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Hm? Is it really true? Master Nephew Lu quickly please speak.”
Realist Cangwu let out a light eep, Lu Xuan’s answer was somewhat out of his expectation.
On the side, Zhong Hao, Chen Luo and a few others also revealed a look of surprise.
“I’ve read about a similar situation in an ancient book that I got by chance, and it’s rumored that there is a strange insect outside the domain called the Mystic Heart Vermin, which loves to lurk inside the minds of demonic beasts and feeds on the invisible spiritual consciousness.”
“After being invaded by the Bewitching Heart Vermin Bug, the demonic beast’s mind will gradually be lost, and it will easily fall into a state of berserkness, but it will not be able to notice any abnormality on its own, and even if its mind and soul end up completely sinking, it will not think that there is something within its sea of consciousness.”
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.
“Mind-obsessed Vermin? Yet I haven’t heard of it, there is nothing strange in this world.”
Realist Cangwu showed a puzzled look on his face.
“I just like to collect some of this kind of odd knowledge, and when I heard Senior Brother Chen Luo say that there was something intruding within the sea of consciousness of the Spirit Beasts, and after checking to confirm it, the first thing that came to mind was that Misty Hearted Vermin.”
“Senior Uncle is good at it, more than me I don’t know where.”
Lu Xuan said with self-effacement.
“Then does Senior Nephew Lu have a solution?”
Realist Cangwu hurriedly asked.
“I can understand that those have been extremely lucky, the specific how to solve the mind-obsessed venomous insects, but also need to Cangwu senior uncle and a few senior brothers together to study and grope.”
“However, I think we can start from two aspects.”
“One is to use spiritual sense related treasures to lure the Mystic Heart Vermin out, as long as it behaves harmlessly and is more powerful than the Spirit Beast Spiritual Sense, that has a great allure for the Mystic Heart Vermin.”
“The second is that we can consider finding out some divine soul type treasures that might be able to restrain the Mystic Heart Vermin and have a miraculous effect.”
Lu Xuan made a suggestion.
