Chapter 468: Burning Peach
Chapter 468: Burning Peach
An idea flashed through Lu Chen's mind, and a small silver and white ball appeared in his palm.
The ball seemed to be formed by countless delicate silver-white threads, crisscrossing and overlapping densely.
Lu Chen focused his attention on the small ball, and detailed information about it immediately appeared in his mind.
【Nanyaming Lihuo Net, a fifth-grade treasure, can be refined into a magical artifact. Forged with the Nanyaming Lihuo, it can be controlled at will to bind and restrain targets, causing them to suffer the burning pain of the Nanyaming Lihuo.】
【It is especially effective against yin, evil, and ghostly beings.】
"Another fifth-grade treasure!"
Lu Chen was delighted.
He gazed at the silver-white ball in his hand lovingly, reluctant to put it down.
When he infused it with his spiritual power, the ball instantly unfolded into a fine mesh net. As his spiritual sense brushed over it, pure white flames appeared on the silver-white net, spreading like countless fire snakes at incredible speed, forming a crisscrossing web of fire in an instant.
The pure white flames burned quietly, lingering without dispersing, as if they contained the power to incinerate all evil in the world.
"I'm obtaining more and more fifth-grade treasures from the light spheres," Lu Chen thought. "With my current wealth, I'd probably be among the top few even among the seventeen true disciples of the sect."
"If something unexpected happened to one of the Nascent Soul stage uncle-masters, or if they had just recently broken through, their wealth might not even compare to mine."
Lu Chen marveled inwardly.
He now possessed quite a few fifth-grade magical artifacts and treasures, including the Void Nightmare Orb, the Pure Yang True Fire Manual, the Spirit-Infusing Paste, the Mirage Sound Treasure Pearl, and now the Nanyaming Lihuo Net.
Additionally, he had the Gluttonous Beast Pouch, the Divine Derivative Scripture, the Saint Infant Pill, and auxiliary techniques, elixirs, and formation treasures like the Phantom Extinction Five Elements Array.
His wealth was indeed formidable.
Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of security.
He experimented with the Nanyaming Lihuo Net before storing it away in the Gluttonous Beast Pouch.
After the Lihuo Fiend Dragon broke through to the fourth grade, it quickly adapted to the changes in its spiritual power and bloodline before returning to the lake with its little brother, the Rock Armor Turtle.
The other spiritual beasts also gradually absorbed and refined the Imperial Flow Juice, improving their physical bodies significantly, although none of them had reached the perfect opportunity for a breakthrough like the Lihuo Fiend Dragon.
Lu Chen followed behind them and, upon reaching the small lake, took out a portion of the Imperial Flow Juice to give to the Green-Horned Dragon Carp in the corner.
"Wuuuu, the lake's water, my tears..."
When Lu Chen focused his attention on the Green-Horned Dragon Carp, he could sense its current state of deep emotion.
Ever since it had been moved from the boundless sea to this small lake, its living space had shrunk countless times over.
Before, it had roamed the vast and endless ocean, but now it was confined to a small corner. Even in this tiny lake, there was another spiritual beast, the Lihuo Fiend Dragon, whose strength and bloodline were superior to its own.
Additionally, there was the Rock Armor Turtle, a spiritual beast hatched by Feng the Falcon, one of the elder beasts of the cave abode. It was the Lihuo Fiend Dragon's half-brother, and its playful nature made it a little tyrant in the lake, making the Green-Horned Dragon Carp's life miserable.
When it had sensed the aura of the Imperial Flow Juice earlier, it could only hide in the corner, envying the others. It never expected that it would receive a portion as well.
Lu Chen specifically instructed the Lihuo Fiend Dragon and the Rock Armor Turtle not to disturb the Green-Horned Dragon Carp as it enjoyed its treat.
After taking care of the spiritual beasts, Lu Chen began to inspect the cave abode. The Demon-Subduing Vine, like a gray snake, followed behind him. Whenever they reached a spiritual plant that it had marked, it would leap forward and point at the well-grown plant, seemingly showing off to Lu Chen and asking for praise.
It was as if the vine was telling Lu Chen that its ability to resist the temptation of eating the leaves, flowers, and fruits of the spiritual plants during this period was already a great achievement.
After spending some time in the blessed land of the Myriad Demon Cave, the myriad spiritual plants needed to be carefully nurtured.
He skillfully satisfied the spiritual needs of each plant, and when he reached a secluded area of the peak, he found that the three Burning Peach trees in the corner had fully matured.
The pink miasma below the peach trees had become increasingly dense, and inhaling even a slight amount would induce a dizzying, infatuated, and drowsy feeling.
The pink spirit peaches were partially hidden among the delicate white branches and leaves, their veiled presence more alluring and captivating than if they were completely exposed.
The peaches' skin was incredibly tender, and they seemed as if they would squirt delicious sweet juice with just a gentle pinch, causing Lu Chen, who was not far away, to unconsciously swallow his saliva.
"You seducing peaches, always tempting people."
Lu Chen clicked his tongue, then turned to look at the Demon-Subduing Vine, whose appearance had become even more pitiful.
It lay lazily on the ground, secreting gray mucus everywhere, and had sprouted numerous tiny tendrils like tentacles, reaching and stretching toward the direction of the Burning Peach trees.
Lu Chen cast a Cleansing Chant on himself and the vine beneath his feet, and a cool breeze washed over them, instantly calming their minds.
"It's the second time these third-grade Burning Peaches have ripened. I wonder if it will have any effect on the light spheres."
He extended his spiritual sense to locate the spirit peaches hidden among the leaves.
There were three Burning Peach trees, bearing a total of twenty-seven spirit fruits this time, one more than the first harvest.
After confirming that all the Burning Peaches were fully ripe, Lu Chen casually plucked one of the fruits.
【Burning Peach, a third-grade spirit fruit, bears fruit every two years until the plant dies. The spirit peaches contain abundant spiritual energy and are highly favored by cultivators and demonic beasts alike. Prolonged consumption can also grant a youthful appearance.】
【They can also be used to refine yin-yang harmonious pills, assist in cultivating certain dual cultivation secret arts, or brew special spirit liquids.】
Lu Chen skimmed through the information, then plucked all twenty-seven spirit fruits.
Due to a lack of proper care in the past, the quality of the spirit peaches was mostly average, with only three being of good quality.
After storing the spirit peaches away, Lu Chen's gaze was drawn to the white light spheres nestled within the branches and leaves of the three Burning Peach trees.
There were over twenty white light spheres, hiding among the delicate white foliage as if playing a game of hide-and-seek with Lu Chen.
He walked over, reached out, and gently touched the surface of the light spheres, collecting them all.
The light spheres exploded one after the other, transforming into streams of light that flowed into Lu Chen's body.
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and rewards appeared in his hand and within his consciousness.
【Harvested a third-grade Burning Peach, obtained a fourth-grade pill, the Bewitching Pill.】
A pink pill appeared in Lu Chen's palm, adorned with faint red spirit patterns. As the patterns shifted and changed, it seemed as though a captivating, curvaceous figure was gently twisting and turning.
"These rewards from the Burning Peaches are getting more and more provocative."
Lu Chen couldn't help but touch his forehead.
This Bewitching Pill possessed a strong aphrodisiac effect, capable of arousing the deep-seated desires of cultivators or demonic beasts. For evil cultivators practicing the Yin-Yang Harmonious Path, it was an invaluable treasure.
Additionally, the pill could heighten sensitivity throughout the body and amplify pleasure, delivering extreme ecstasy. Those with unstable minds might easily sink into an endless sea of desire.
"I'm a chaste and dedicated spiritual herbologist, why am I getting all these seductive pills?"
Lu Chen looked at the pink Bewitching Pill in his hand, feeling a bit troubled.
