Chapter 493: Gulping Down Blood and Meat
Chapter 493: Gulping Down Blood and Meat
"That's right. Unlike the second and third-grade Sword Grass, which have already discovered their condensation methods for mass stable production, the fifth-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed is different." Shen Ye explained to Lu Chen.
"To obtain a fifth-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed, one would need a stroke of luck and the right environmental conditions for it to be born."
"The Core Formation masters in the Sword Hall already possess more than one fifth-grade Sword Grass. Thus, the one that is currently gestating will be given to a Sword Hall disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate."
"Currently, you and Jian Wuxia from the True Transmission lineage have the highest chances."
"The two of you are exceptional. One is a natural-born Sword Body with terrifying talent in the Sword Dao, and the other has added new varieties to the Sword Hall, which has only had over twenty types of third-grade Sword Grass throughout its existence. Your success rates in cultivating Sword Grass are astoundingly high."
"Unless something unexpected happens, it will be a competition between you and Junior Sister Jian Wuxia." Shen Ye revealed.
"Junior Sister Jian Wuxia is from the True Transmission lineage, so it's unlikely for me to win against her. But since it concerns the fifth-grade Sword Grass, I'd like to give it a try." Lu Chen replied with a smile, his tone resolute.
He was determined to try for the fifth-grade Sword Grass; who knew what kind of bountiful light group rewards it might bring.
"It's excellent that you have this ambition, but it's hard to say who will emerge victorious between the two of you." Shen Ye encouraged.
"By the way, the condensation method for the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass that you handed over to the Hall is now in the cultivation and preparation stage for condensation. I believe the first wave of successful varieties will appear soon, and we can proceed to the mass planting stage." Shen Ye added.
"In that case, I'm relieved." Lu Chen heard this news with a sense of pride and satisfaction.
Shen Ye asked Lu Chen to wait inside the room for a while. After some time, he returned from the depths of the Sword Hall with a fourth-grade Sword Peacock Spirit Seed, which he handed to Lu Chen.
"Senior Brother Shen, if there's any new information regarding the fifth-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed, please inform me promptly." Lu Chen took the Spirit Seed and specially requested.
"Definitely, definitely." Shen Ye assured.
As Lu Chen was personally discovered by Shen Ye, he naturally favored him and hoped that he would obtain the fifth-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed.
Upon returning to his cave abode, Lu Chen took out the Sword Peacock Spirit Seed.
The Spirit Seed resembled a miniature peacock with its tail feathers spread, and over a hundred fine sword qi feathers could be seen. Holding it in his hand, he felt a sharp sensation.
He planted the Sword Peacock into the Wu Spirit Soil, and as his spiritual power surged, the sword qi transformed into silk, resonating with each other and forming a subtle formation that flowed into the Spirit Seed.
"From now on, I'll have to visit the Sword Hall from time to time."
"It's not just for the chance to obtain the fifth-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed, but also because of the remaining few fourth-grade Spirit Seeds. Mainly, I want to contribute to my fellow Sword Hall disciples and help them cultivate powerful sword artifacts." Lu Chen thought to himself, slightly embarrassed by his own boldness.
Out of the eight types of fourth-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds in the Sword Hall, he had already cultivated one Sword Qiao, and with the new one, he now had two Sword Peacocks and one Green Lotus Sword Grass in his spirit field. He had no opportunity to cultivate the remaining five types for the time being.
However, he had the idea of collecting them all in his heart.
After planting the Sword Peacock, Lu Chen continued to inspect various parts of the spirit field, carefully examining the condition of the spirit plants.
Whenever he encountered the diligent and tireless Grass Puppet, he would not forget to feed it a Spirit Attracting Grass Bead.
The number of Spirit Attracting Grass Beads he had left wasn't abundant, but he wasn't worried about running out. A new batch of Hidden Root Grass had entered the maturity stage, and he could replenish his supply soon.
On this day, he rode his fleeing light, leaving the sect alone.
He found a remote and secluded place, took out the Thousand Soul's Trickster Mask, and transformed into a tall and ordinary-looking middle-aged cultivator after stretching his bones and muscles.
Then, he silently entered Jianmen Town.
Reaching the location of the small courtyard in the underworld, he circled the courtyard once. High above, the ashen-white Void Nightmare coldly observed the area, ensuring there were no abnormalities before opening the Extinction Five Elements Array placed outside the courtyard.
"Excellent," Lu Chen praised, deeply appreciative of the environment of the underworld courtyard. He strolled through the lush growth of You Ni Rou and Yuan Ling Ni, his eyes sweeping over the thriving assortment of sinister spirit plants with satisfaction.
Suddenly, a gigantic blood-red hand shot out from the You Ni Rou, darting towards Lu Chen's legs and grasping them tightly. It began to suckle hungrily.
Lu Chen's feet, imbued with his blood qi, stirred slightly, and with a subtle shift of his spiritual power, he suppressed the aberrant blood spirit hand, choosing to ignore its desperate thirst.
He approached the fifth-grade Blood Sin Flower, his spiritual sense piercing through the intricate network of tendrils that formed a hollow blood sphere, reaching the very heart of the blood sea.
Within the sea of blood, waves churned violently, and at its center, a blood-colored flower bloomed with abandon, as if nourished by the endless sins and blood of countless beings. It exuded an otherworldly aura.
Sensing Lu Chen's proximity, the tendrils, like veins, writhed gently, conveying their longing for fresh blood.
"Look at how polite it is. It puts you to shame," Lu Chen chided.
"When you're begging for something, you should at least show some manners. This isn't the way to ask for food."
With a flick of his leg, Lu Chen dislodged the Blood Spirit Hand that had latched onto him and pulled out a dozen bottles of Flood Dragon Essence Blood from his storage bag, pouring their contents onto the intertwined, slender veins.
The veins pulsated with increased fervor, their greed for the essence blood evident as they devoured it with a gurgling sound.
"This fifth-grade Blood Sin Flower has entered a rapid growth phase, and its demand for demonic beast essence blood has increased significantly," Lu Chen mused.
The dozen bottles of essence blood were consumed in just a few breaths, every drop absorbed into the blood sea, nourishing the flower at its heart and enhancing its vibrant hues.
"Fortunately, I still have a good amount of essence blood left from my harvest at Qian Long Lake," Lu Chen said, taking out another set of a dozen bottles, this time containing second-grade Flood Dragon Essence Blood, to feed the Blood Sin Flower.
As he tended to the flower, he spared a glance at the Blood Spirit Hand, which lay pitifully in a corner, and tossed it two bottles as well, allowing it to drink its fill.
Next, he retrieved a large quantity of demonic beast flesh and blood scraps, placing them near the roots of the Yi Shou Pan Tao, a peach tree with an innocuous appearance and a milk-like fragrance. He allowed it to absorb the sanguine vitality from the scraps at its leisure.
The Thousand Coiling Hands, You Quan Flowers, Yin Crying Wood, Sacred Infant Pills, and Filthy Insect Grass were all given similar attentive care, their subtle needs meticulously met.
Lu Chen approached the Meat Spirit God and took out a large pile of demonic beast flesh, tossing it onto the dark red stone.
He waited a moment, and soon, the stone's surface sprouted numerous tiny mouths, each filled with sharp, dense teeth. They devoured the flesh in just a few bites, leaving behind not even a speck of meat.
Lu Chen focused his consciousness on the gestating little evil creature within the Meat Spirit God, immediately sensing its intense craving for flesh and blood.
【I want meat! I want meat!】
This thought reverberated relentlessly in Lu Chen's mind.
"It's not easy to raise a child when they get bigger," Lu Chen sighed.
First, the Blood Sin Flower had entered a rapid growth phase, requiring a significantly larger amount of essence blood. Now, the unborn Meat Spirit God seemed to be nearing its birth, and its demand for flesh and blood had also skyrocketed, leaving Lu Chen somewhat perplexed.
