Chapter 354: Chapter 352: Drawing Lightning, Starlight Sword Grass Matures_l

(Last Chapter: Extracted a Gluttonous Color Insect, used a viewing method with feeding medicine to solve the problem of a Male Beast’s impotence, obtained two Thunderstones.)

The burly cultivator holds two Thunderstones in his hand, each the size of a baby’s head, silvery-white in color. The white inside, seemingly filled with infinite thunder power.

With a single Fourth Grade Desire-Bewitching Pill, he managed to exchange it for a Thunderstone of such a substantial size, Lu Xuan was overjoyed.

Objects containing the power of thunder and lightning are quite rare in the cultivation world. He had been looking for a long time, but had not found something similar. As a result, that Fourth Grade Thunderwood had not been carefully cultivated but had been incubated in the spirit soil, and occasionally nourished and stimulated with the Purple Lightning Sword to maintain its vitality.

A Fourth Grade Thunderstone, even if only one of them is used, it’s more than enough to cultivate the Thunderwood. Furthermore, it can be used later for refining magic artifacts or exchanging valuables with other cultivators.

“Thankyou, Brother Zhong.”

Lu Xuan expresses his gratitude.

“This is what you deserve, Junior Brother Lu.”

In Zhong Hao’s eyes, the value of the Yin Beast far surpassed a fourth grade spirit mine. Lu Xuan helped him find the Gluttonous Color Insect from inside the Male Beast body and found a way to make them reproduce normally. Even using his rare elixirs in the process, he believed that two Thunderstones as compensation were more than deserved.

Having solved the problem of the Yin Beast eating its same kind, the three of them came to an ancient and open stone house. All around them, various strange beasts were roaring as they discussed their experiences in the Beast Mastery Skill.

The burly cultivator has been immersed in this for hundreds of years, and his rich experience and broad knowledge of various species of strange beasts are at his fingertips.

Although Lu Xuan does not have much experience in raising spirit beasts, his understanding of each spirit beast that he has raised has reached the theoretical limit. Furthermore, he has studied many related books in the Scripture Treasury Pavilion, storing a vast amount of theoretical knowledge. Occasionally, his remarks made Zhong Hao see the light and he applauded in amazement.

One has diversity, the other has depth; both learned quite a lot from the exchange.

After discussing for nearly four hours, Lu Xuan bid farewell to Zhong Hao and Liu Su and returned to his cave residence.

He took out the Thunderstone from his storage bag and came to the area where he placed the Thunderwood.

A piece of unnoticeable dried wood stuck in the spirit soil, most of it exposed, revealing burnt traces everywhere, strung together, like a pattern of thunder.

The spiritual power in Lu Xuan surged, and the Thunderstone flew above the dried Thunderwood.

He casually sentenced a tiny ban to keep the Thunderstone floating in low altitude without moving.

The Thunderwood below seemed to be attracted by the thunder power inside the spirit mine. The burnt part made a crackling sound, and the special vitality inside it exploded.

Under the traction of an unknown aura, the Thunderstone flashed with thunderbolts, and a subtle thunderbolt hit right in the center of the Thunderwood.

The thunderbolts split, rushing down from top to bottom, a stream of white light popped up on the burnt-black wood.

In Lu Xuan’s perception, the charred wood emitted an unprecedented vital force, immersing itself in the power of the thunderbolt.

After meticulously cultivating the Fourth Grade Thunderwood for a while, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the many spirit plants in his spirit field.

When he noticed a need among the spirit plants, he strived to meet it as much as possible to ensure their healthy growth.

In his Spirit Field, the Starlight Sword Grass and the Wind-Thunder Sword Grass brought over from the Void Nether Island have all matured.

The Spirit Gathering Pine he had planted a long time ago from Langyue Blessed Land, was following closely behind; it estimated that it wouldn’t take too long to fully mature.

When Lu Xuan approached it, the sound of pines was heard one after another, as if warmly welcoming him.

Being trapped in the Spirit Field all the time and seeing Lu Xuan, who had been nurturing it with spiritual sense, its joy radiated from within.

Lu Xuan returned to the yard, and a pockmarked, grotesquely shaped poisonous insect rushed over. As it moved rapidly, its body was shrouded in poisonous mist.

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Lu Xuan quickly commanded this different species of Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect to stop.

The Heart-Eating Worm circled around his feet, soon forming a ring of poisonous smoke around Lu Xuan.

“You ugly worm.”

Lu Xuan laughed and cursed, knowing full well it was the worm’s inherent talent. He didn’t take it to heart, stepped over the ring of poisonous smoke, and pulled out a Corpse Flame Pill from his storage bag.

Upon seeing the pale Corpse Flame Pill, the Heart-Eating Worm hopped around excitedly, its poisonous smoke intensifying.

It swallowed the pill in one gulp, and soon, patterns filled with deathly aura began to emerge on its head. The patterns spread rapidly, stretching across its entire body in just moments.

All the patterns congealed into a grey-white flame that seemed poised to burn the trembling Heart-Eating Worm into ashes.

Drawing from his prior experience with the Corpse Flame Pills, Lu Xuan quickly applied a Hundred-Year Ice Spirit onto the larva.

The extreme chill radiating from the Hundred-Year Ice Spirit blanketed the worm’s body in a layer of thin frost, seeping in and slowly dispelling the grey­white flame.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan released a thread of Qingmu Origin Energy from his Dantian, reviving the worm.

The worm returned to normal and spat towards the courtyard. A stream of grey-white poisonous smoke shot out like an arrow and targeted a rock.

The poisonous smoke penetrated the rock, and after a few breaths, the grey­black surface of the rock turned grey-white. A breeze blew, and it disintegrated into countless specks of dust scattering throughout the courtyard.

“No wonder it’s called Disaster Poison Body. The ability to refine and absorb poisons is staggeringly powerful. Just after swallowing two Corpse Flame Pills, it developed such significant power.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim, feeling jubilant at the Heart-Eating Worm larva’s mastery of a type of poison.

Having fed the Heart-Eating Worm, Lu Xuan entered the house.

After ensuring that all Formation Restrictions in his cave residence were active, he took out two Evil Eye Pupils from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

The eyeballs revolved as if alive. Numerous nearly transparent tentacles around the pupils floated slowly in the air.

They were the Evil Eye Pupils picked from the mature Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.

Lu Xuan sealed the ancient tree trunk and replaced it back into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

His eyes widened, a foggy spiritual light appearing on the surface of his pupils, drawing one Evil Eye Pupil into the area between his eyebrows.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to see countless eye pupil illusions appear around him, either opened or closed, all staring intently at him.

Lu Xuan executed the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique. From deep within his eye sockets, an enormous suction emerged, absorbing all eye pupil illusions.

Opening his eyes, he casually created a Water Mirror Technique. Looking into the mirror, he saw numerous tiny tentacle-like objects squirming in the white part of his eyes.

The eye pupils on the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree harbored strange spiritual power, which required corresponding charms, techniques, or elixirs to eradicate.

Lu Xuan chanted the Cleansing Spell towards his own eyes, which immediately became clear again.

He threw the remaining eye pupil to the Cloud Leopard and stood guard over it. Once it finished digesting, he would take care of the aftermath.

The Breaking Illusion Eye Technique could break through illusions, while the Cloud Leopard’s eyes could see Demonic Envoys. Both could use the Strange Eye Pupil from the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree to enhance their vision.

The next period of time passed peacefully without any significant events.

Every day, Lu Xuan cultivated spiritual plants, reared spirit beasts, practiced cultivation techniques in his spare time, and occasionally met with familiar faces from the Sect to catch up.

“The Starlight Sword Grass has matured!”

One day, when he arrived at the Spirit Field Area where he planted the Sword Grass, he immediately noticed that the semi-transparent progress bar below the Starlight Sword Grass had been entirely filled.
