You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 258: Explosive Resentful Souls

As Lu Xuan pondered, he sensed the appearance of a high-grade demonic vine known as the Illusion Mist Formation creeping along.

At first sight of the bizarre bloodthorn flower spiritual species on the ground, the gray vines swayed around, but under Lu Xuan's cold gaze, they crawled towards the bloodthorn flower.

"Just a little touch."

A thought entered Lu Xuan's mind.

The gray vines tightly pressed against the surface of the numerous tiny blood vessels resembling bloodthorns. In just a few breaths, they detached.

"Too intense."

The strong scent of blood made it difficult for the Illusion Mist Formation to adapt for a moment. After leaving a mark, it retreated behind Lu Xuan, indicating its innocence.

Lu Xuan stored the bloodthorn flower spiritual species in his storage bag, then returned to the room. With a Blood Ignition Arrow Talisman and a Sun Fragrance Fruit Talisman in each hand, he took out the Wood Infant from the storage bag.

The bluish-gray infant, bound by deep blue runic chains, tightly shut its eyes, motionless.

Following the control technique taught by the female cultivator, Lu Xuan slightly loosened the runic chains, allowing a strand of green wood source Qi to drift between the infant's lips and nose.

As a wood-type creature, the Wood Infant was extremely sensitive to the green wood source Qi of the same origin. Instantly, it opened its eyes, its gray-white pupils staring fixedly at the strand of green wood source Qi. Various infant resentful souls inside its navel area underwent drastic changes.

"Want to eat? Behave and submit to me. If I'm in a good mood, I'll reward you."

A smirk formed on Lu Xuan's lips as he placed two fourth-grade talismans on the table.

The bluish-gray infant roared at Lu Xuan, its features tightly wrinkled, revealing sharp gray-white teeth inside.

The Illusion Mist Formation stayed by Lu Xuan's feet, looking at the wood-type Wood Infant opposite it. The vines conveyed a complex emotion, partly longing and partly disgust.

Being a wood-type creature, the Wood Infant possessed rich vegetation aura, which appealed to the Illusion Mist Formation's appetite. However, its spiritual energy had been entirely contaminated and mutated, causing the Illusion Mist Formation to subconsciously want to avoid it, not even wanting to leave a mark.

After communicating with the sinister infant for a while without making any progress, Lu Xuan tightened the runic chains again, firmly restraining the Wood Infant once more.

After storing it in the storage bag, he tidied up and planned to take a stroll in the Sword Gate Town courtyard.

He intended to plant the bloodthorn flower, nurture the Holy Infant Fruit, inspect several other spiritual plants, and earn some spirit stones on the side.

Due to the enmity he had incurred in the Blessed Land, he was more cautious than usual, sneaking out of the sect alone.

"It seems I was overly cautious. No one is tailing me."

"It's been several months since the snatch of the sixth-grade Phoenix Wood. Presumably, even if they were plotting against me, they wouldn't surveil me day in and day out. They'll have to find another opportunity."

Ten miles away from Sword Gate Town, in a nearby jungle, Lu Xuan's figure quietly appeared, sighing softly.

After leaving the Sect, he maximized the use of his Floating Technique, randomly landing in a dense jungle, using Earth Escapement to flee. Then, utilizing the concealment ability of the Concealing Spirit Robe, he completely hid his figure.

After a long while, he didn't notice any movement.

Only then did Lu Xuan relax and swiftly enter Sword Gate Town.

Under the towering giant stone sword, there was a wide blue stone square with many Qi refining casual cultivators setting up stalls.

As Lu Xuan passed by, he bought a wounded first-grade demonic beast, intending to bring it into the courtyard to serve as a sacrifice for several Yin Realm spiritual plants.

Arriving at the courtyard, Lu Xuan circled around but found nothing unusual.

Due to its proximity to the Sect, Sword Gate Town often had Sect cultivators staying here. Therefore, there were rarely incidents of murder and treasure snatching. Coupled with the fourth-grade Illusion Mist Formation protecting the courtyard, Lu Xuan could stay in the sect with peace of mind for a long time.

Opening the Illusion Mist Formation, Lu Xuan entered the courtyard.

A strong Yin aura greeted him.

"It's empty. It seems the Yin souls left from last time have all been absorbed by the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms."

Lu Xuan looked around. The courtyard was quiet, without any trace of Yin souls.

The first thing that caught Lu Xuan's eye was the five Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms. The eerie patterns on their tops seemed dimmer compared to last time, slightly drooping, with grimaces that looked thoroughly unhappy.

It had been quite some time since Lu Xuan last visited the Sword Gate Town courtyard. The Yin souls left behind had long been absorbed by the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms, leaving them relying on absorbing spiritual energy to sustain basic growth.

Quickly, he retrieved the Resentful Soul Pearls from his storage bag and released more than twenty strands of resentful souls.

Nourished by the Yin energy from the Resentful Soul Pearls, these resentful souls became plump and solid, each equivalent to three or five before.

The familiar scent of delicacy instantly awakened the five Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms. The eerie patterns on their tops lit up, luring the resentful souls over and absorbing them instantly.

After a hearty meal for the hungry Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms, Lu Xuan proceeded to the Thorny Bone Tree.

Due to the presence of the colossal skeletal remains of the Barbaric Bull and the fourth-grade Six-Eyed Red Iron Scorpion, the growth of the Thorny Bone Tree remained unaffected.

Countless slender white bones grew wildly, enclosing the two sets of skeletal remains within, with only a glimpse of the bones visible through the bone gaps.

Numerous tiny bone spurs deeply embedded into the bones, absorbing nutrients to their heart's content.

The multitude of slender white bones seemed to form a thorny jungle, exuding a strange and eerie beauty.

With his mind focused, Lu Xuan sensed that both the Thorny Bone Tree and the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms had entered a mature state, albeit slightly slower progress compared to the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms.

He approached the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood.

On the ancient and withered bark, dozens or even hundreds of gray-white pupils sensed Lu Xuan's approach, opening all at once. Instantly, a chilling aura extended from Lu Xuan's feet to his head.

The three pairs of Six-Eyed Red Iron Scorpion eyes from last time were still suspended on the trunk, each giant scorpion eye being pulled by several tiny transparent tentacles.

On some of the pupils, there were still desiccated small eyeballs hanging, their nutrients completely absorbed, gently swaying like abandoned lanterns on an ancient and dilapidated mansion.

"The Six-Eyed Red Iron Scorpion truly lives up to its fourth-grade rank. After so long, whether it's the bones or the pupils, they are still exerting their residual heat."

Lu Xuan sighed. Finding a blank spiritual field, he carefully planted the Bloodthorn Flower.

Immediately afterward, he took out the first-grade demonic beast he bought along the way, pouring every last drop of fresh blood onto the Bloodthorn Flower spiritual species.

The pupils, enriched with moist spiritual energy, were thrown in front of the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood. Two transparent tentacles shot out from the strange pupils, directly piercing through the still slightly rotating eyes of the demonic beast.

The demonic beast's flesh was buried under the Poison Dart Wood, the bones thrown into the Thorny Bone Tree, and the soul naturally absorbed by the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms.

A lively demonic beast was completely divided up.

"Flesh, bones, soul, pupils..."

"Sword Gate Town courtyard, a complete funeral service."

"Our specialty is a one-way trip—no bodies left behind and no one allowed out."

Lu Xuan chuckled and took out the wood-type Wood Infant from his storage bag.

The Purple Thunder Sword was drawn from its scabbard, lightning arcs flashing, causing the scabbard to tremble incessantly.

A lightning bolt struck the bluish-gray infant.

"In? Bursting infant souls?"
