I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 390
Chapter 390: Chapter 288: Lifesaving Sword Talisman l
After deliberately avoiding two Lingxiao Sect cultivators pursued by demon beast puppets, Lu Xuan chose a direction and continued to have the Demonic Vine search for spiritual seeds.
After about an hour, the Demonic Vine arrived at the edge of a small lake.
The lake wasn’t large, with its water dyed in a dark red, emanating a faint fishy smell.
With Lu Xuan’s approval, the grey vine penetrated the red and dark water, stretching towards the bottom of the lake.
Soon, the Demonic Vine emerged unscathed from the small lake with a fiery red spiritual seed around its tip.
The edge of the spiritual seed seemed to have one flame-like pattern embedded into it, flickering with a faint red glow.
Lu Xuan planted it into the spirit soil. Upon focusing his awareness, he immediately obtained the relevant information about the fiery red spiritual seed.
[Mutated Firewood, Grade Three Spiritual Plant…]
[Unexpectedly dropped into an adverse water environment, it can’t grow normally and can barely sustain its vitality.]
[Treasures, talismans, formulas, and so on can be used to dispel the anomalous water-based spiritual power within the spiritual seed and restore it to normal.]
“A fire-based spiritual seed that has fallen into the water.”
Lu Xuan chuckled internally, rubbing his fingers together until a strand of pure white flame emerged.
He had been contemplating “Pure Yang True Fire Talisman” for some time. Although his grasp on fire-based techniques might be insufficient for battling enemies, it was more than enough for warming up spiritual seeds.
Under the exquisite fire-controlling ability of “Playing with Flame Jue”, the Firewood Spiritual Seed quickly returned to normal. The flame patterns on its edge shone brilliantly, exuding intense vitality.
Thus, under the inspection of the Void Nightmare Eye, Lu Xuan intentionally avoided cultivators who had turned into demon beasts and was fully concentrated on searching for spiritual seeds.
The Demonic Vine worked hard for half a day and found three mutated grade four Arrow Vine spiritual seeds and several grade three spiritual seeds.
Lu Xuan was fully satisfied. Just when he was about to figure out how to regroup with his fellow sect members from the Sky Sword Sect, suddenly, three cultivators appeared in the palm of his hand.
Two of them were wearing the uniform robes of the Ten Thousand Beast Gate. Among them was Long Miaomiao, whom he had encountered a few times. Her physique was well-built and muscular, and she was controlling several huge apes, fleeing and fighting the demon beast puppets chasing them.
“Hm? Brother Feng is also there.”
Lu Xuan was about to leave when his sharp eyes spotted Feng Yu, a fellow sect cultivator, at the end of the formation.
He paused for a moment. A grey eyeball emerged in the void and went into his Gluttonous Insect Pouch while he chose to stay where he was and wait.
Feng Yu was from his same sect, they were fellow cultivators. Under circumstances where he could help, he naturally should assist.
Moreover, they have been researching mutant spiritual plants together for some time, giving Lu Xuan an additional reason to help.
When the three of them were almost near, Lu Xuan greeted them.
“Brother Lu, I didn’t expect to encounter you here. Hurry and escape. There are many demon beast puppets chasing us.”
Feng Yu spotted Lu Xuan from a distance and was initially overjoyed. However, knowing Lu Xuan was a Spirit Plant Master and that his presence wouldn’t significantly affect the trio’s current predicament, he hastily warned him instead.
“Brother Feng, don’t worry. I have a plan.”
Lu Xuan reassured Feng Yu while scanning behind the trio with his Spiritual Sense.
There were twenty to thirty demon beast puppets chasing the three of them, amongst which some were originally fourth grade demon beasts.
He quickly composed himself and communicated telepathically to the three of them:
“Brother Feng, Friend Long, and the friend from the Ten Thousand Beast Gate, please gather around me.”
“I have a fourth-grade Sword Talisman in my hand which has a strong attacking power. It can instantaneously unleash countless powerful Sword Qi, and it can inflict serious damage on these demon beast puppets in a blink.”
Long Miaomiao, with her delicate features and robust body, glanced at Lu Xuan’s direction. She hesitated a bit, but finally chose to trust Lu Xuan.
Neatly, the three of them gathered around Lu Xuan, forming a small circle.
“The Sword Talisman isn’t good at discrimination. Please be careful not to get accidentally injured by the Sword Qi 1”
Lu Xuan gave a soft shout, and a charm as sharp as a sword tip, neither gold nor jade, slid out from his sleeve and fell into his palm.
The infinite Sword Intent in the talisman surged like sea waves, grand and imposing.
He looked at the approaching demon beast puppets and with a thought, saw the wave rise high in the Sword Talisman, covering the tip of the sword.
In an instant, countless deep black sword Qi whistled out from the talisman, like a rising tide, layer upon layer, dense and numerous, rolling towards the Demon Beast Puppets.
Even under the control of the Tusilin, the unperturbed and fierce Demon Beast Puppets, under the indiscriminate attack of the Roaring Sea Sword Charm, all but a few thick-skinned and incredibly fast paced Demon Beasts were filled with gaping holes, penetrated through by countless Sword Qi.
“Friend Lu, the power of your charm is truly astonishing!”
Long Miaomiao looked at the ruins in front of him, which looked like they had been plowed countless times, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
After the three of them escaped from the camp, due to the impact of the explosion, coupled with the relentless pursuing of the Demon Beast Puppets, they had been on the defensive.
Unexpectedly, with a single Sword Talisman from Lu Xuan, the situation was easily turned around.
“As expected of the famous Sky Sword Sect, a single talisman can repel so many Demon Beasts.”
Another cultivator from the Ten Thousand Beast Gate chimed in.
Despite the compliments from the two, Lu Xuan did not show any hint of complacency, but rather a face of pain.
“What the two of you don’t know is, due to my ineffective combat skills, before entering this Blessed Land, in order to save my life, I had to make a full preparation, spending a great price to obtain such a life saving Sword Talisman.”
“So that’s how it is, thank you, Friend Lu, for your great help, we will never forget the debt of saving our lives.”
The two cultivators expressed their gratitude to Lu Xuan.
“Did I askyou to remember? What I wanted was a payback.”
Lu Xuan muttered under his breath.
“The remaining difficult to deal with Demon Bird Puppets, I will leave them to you.”
He instructed and then headed towards the corpses of the Demon Beast Puppets, collecting them all in his storage bag.
Although the bag didn’t contain much blood essence, it could be used to feed the Demonic Vine, recycle the material for refining magic artifacts, so it still had a considerable value.
The three understood Lu Xuan’s actions and pretended not to see anything. After all, it was justifiable for Lu Xuan to search for these spoils of war since he used such a precious Sword Talisman.
After finishing their work, Long Miaomiao and others came back to Lu Xuan somewhat disheveled, and spontaneously handed over the hunted Demon Beasts to him.
“Brother Feng, Friend Dragon, you can pick some materials you need from these Demon Beast Puppets. I want the remaining corpses, I want to study them.”
Lu Xuan gently suggested.
“Thankyou, Brother Lu (Friend Lu)!”
The three didn’t expect this unexpected joy and thanked him sincerely.
After quickly sorting out the materials, Lu Xuan and the others didn’t hesitate and made their way towards the frontline of the three sects.
Passing through a deep valley, Lu Xuan was the first to stop. Upon seeing this, the others also halted.
They saw four giant Flood Dragon Demon Beasts emerging quietly, their appearance fierce, their movements slightly rigid, but their power far beyond the previously encountered Demon Beast Puppets.
“That Tusilin can even parasitize and control Flood Dragons…”
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly as another Great Sun Sword Charm quietly slid into his palm.
“Life-saving Sword Talisman, Life-saving Sword Talisman.”
Seeing the three pay attention to him, Lu Xuan quietly explained.
Feng Yu and the others were puzzled:
“How many lives are you planning on saving?”
