Chapter 322: The Nightmare of the Void
Chapter 322: The Nightmare of the Void
After Song Yu left, Lu Chen remained calm and continued to tend to his spiritual plants and refine their seeds. He waited patiently for the complete maturation of the Fourth-Grade Hundred-Eyed Weirdwood.
The fifty glowworm grasses, after being treated with special means, finally condensed into nearly two hundred glowworm grass seeds.
The newly condensed seeds needed to be stored and prepared in a different way before they could be planted.
Lu Chen took out the Earthfire Heartlotus seeds from his storage bag. The reddish-red lotus pod had twelve light red seeds embedded in it, exuding a faint fragrance. When approached, one could feel a warm sensation.
He took one and swallowed it.
The fragrance of the seed lingered in his mouth, and it felt as if a faint flame had appeared in his belly, warming his entire body.
After a few breaths, the effect of the seed spread, and the warm aura flowed through Lu Chen's limbs and bones, gently cleansing his dantian, sea of consciousness, and meridians.
Under the influence of the seed, Lu Chen felt his spiritual energy become purer, free from any impurities.
His spiritual sense became clearer and more agile as he manipulated it.
In his spare time, he would also try to open the Pure Yang True Fire Manual and contemplate the image of the Golden Crow's residual soul within.
The image of the Golden Crow was too powerful for him, as he was only at the mid-foundation establishment stage. He could only endure it for a few breaths before having to close the book, or else his eyes would be damaged.
The purple jade coral, a gift from Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu, was placed in the pond, and he specifically instructed the rock-armored turtle and the green-horned dragon carp not to destroy it.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed. Under Lu Chen's constant attention, the translucent progress bar below the Hundred-Eyed Weirdwood finally filled up.
"I wonder what kind of light group reward this fourth-grade weird spiritual plant will produce."
Lu Chen stood in front of the withered weird tree, thinking to himself.
The ghost-faced stone mushroom and the thorn bone had both yielded extremely satisfying results: the Soul-Luring Lamp, the Thousand-Shadow Weird Face, the Mysterious Yin Pill, and the White Bone Magic Puppet...
Unfortunately, they were all treasures of the underworld, and he, as a core disciple of a major sect, could not use them openly under everyone's watchful eyes.
The only exception was the White Bone Magic Puppet, which he had tested during the sea beast attack on the Empty Spirit Spirit Fish.
The Hundred-Eyed Weirdwood before him had a tree body like aged and withered human skin. Dozens of ashen-white eyes moved about on the trunk, some still hung with the dried-up eyes of beasts that had been sucked dry.
Sensing Lu Chen's gaze, the dozens of eerie eyes opened wide, staring unblinkingly at him.
Lu Chen's mind went dizzy, as if he had entered a dim world where, no matter where he looked, a huge eye stared indifferently at him.
He gently bit the tip of his tongue, and his spiritual power surged as he performed the Pure Heart Chant. A hazy spiritual light swept over his body, and his mind immediately cleared.
"This evil tree's ability to disturb the heart has obviously increased after maturation."
Lu Chen sighed, resisting the gaze of the many eerie eyes and grasping the aged tree body to pull it out of the spirit soil.
All the eyes seemed to sense a threat and closed together, merging with the tree trunk.
His mind focused on the Hundred-Eyed Weirdwood.
Hundred-Eyed Weirdwood, Fourth-Grade Spiritual Plant, nurtured with countless fresh demon beast eyes. It is an excellent material for cultivating eye technique secret arts and refining eye technique magic tools. It can also be consumed directly to enhance the eyesight of cultivators or demon beasts. With prolonged consumption, the eyes can gain the ability to see through illusions.
After consumption, it is necessary to use purifying pills or talismans to expel the evil spiritual energy from the eyes, or it may lead to a loss of heart and mind.
"Whether it's for the Cloud-Stepping Lynx or for improving my Eye of Insight Technique, it's a great choice."
Suppressing his anticipation, he reached out and gently touched the surface of the light group.
In an instant, the light group exploded into countless tiny specks of light, which disappeared into thin air. Before Lu Chen could react, they reformed into a faint white illusory eyeball and merged into his body.
[Harvest one fourth-grade Hundred-Eyed Weirdwood, obtain a fifth-grade treasure, the Void Nightmare Eye.]
A bizarre eyeball appeared before Lu Chen, its gaze meeting his.
The eye seemed connected to the void, as if a rift had appeared out of thin air, revealing a grayish-white iris within.
The iris, devoid of any emotional hue, stared directly at Lu Chen.
The eye appeared somewhat dry, with over a dozen nearly transparent, slender tendrils extending from it, reaching into the rift in the void.
Lu Chen's consciousness focused on this abruptly appearing eye, and in an instant, he gained detailed information about it.
[Void Nightmare Eye, a fifth-grade treasure, originating from the eye of a Nightmare Daemon from beyond the realm. It possesses the ability to traverse the void, cast powerful illusions, and bewilder foes.]
[By refining it, one can leave an imprint within their body and, with a mere thought, manifest a strange eye that shares the Void Nightmare Eye's field of vision.]
[The clarity of the shared vision is directly related to proximity; the closer the target, the clearer the vision. The range of the Nightmare Eye's movement in the void is influenced by the cultivator's spiritual sense; the stronger the sense, the greater the range.]
"A fifth-grade treasure! A Nightmare Daemon from beyond the realm? What is that?"
Obtaining a fifth-grade treasure from the light group brought Lu Chen great joy.
With his spiritual power, he guided the grayish-white eyeball to float gently into his hand.
Behind the iris, the void rippled with transparency, intertwining with the slender, translucent tendrils.
"The ability to traverse the void is indeed somewhat sinister."
"Additionally, the Void Nightmare Eye possesses a powerful illusory ability, further enriching my offensive options."
"Yes, and there's also the shared vision ability, which suits my cautious style perfectly."
"In my daily life of cultivating spirit herbs, I can use it to monitor my spirit fields when I'm away. If I leave the sect, it can help me keep an eye out for any abnormalities and ensure my safety."
Lu Chen was extremely pleased with the Void Nightmare Eye, and his spiritual power slowly seeped into the grayish-white eyeball.
After half a day's effort, he finally managed to refine it initially.
Suddenly, the Void Nightmare Eye appeared behind him, but he did not turn his head. Instead, he spread out his palm.
A tingling sensation crept across his palm, and a rift appeared, revealing a round iris that displayed the scene witnessed by the Void Nightmare Eye.
With a mere thought, the Void Nightmare Eye vanished and reappeared ten meters away.
Without moving a muscle, Lu Chen could see everything happening in his spirit fields.
The Ghost Devil Vine was stealthily marking the spirit herbs, leaving behind its gray slime. The vine trembled with excitement.
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx strolled gracefully among the rugged rocks, seemingly aware of the Void Nightmare Eye's gaze. Its pair of emerald green eyes glanced expressionlessly at the void before turning away and continuing its walk.
The Wind Falcon, on the other hand, lay on its back, its round belly facing the sky as it basked lazily in the sun.
From time to time, it turned its head to look at the dirty little turtle in the pond, a hint of disdain in its eyes.
The Rock-Armored Turtle and the Green-Horned Dragon Carp were frolicking in the water, one displaying graceful movements and a graceful figure, while the other rolled around carefree in the mud, unconcerned with appearances.
