Chapter 573: Alligator Dragon Pearl
Chapter 573: Alligator Dragon Pearl
In the courtyard, Lu Chen stood quietly aside, watching the Hundred Poison Devouring Heart Insect as it struggled against a virulent green toxic gas.
He stood ready with various healing, detoxifying, and restorative pills, his mind focused and prepared to save the insect at any moment.
After a moment, the hideous toxic insect finally suppressed the virulent green gas, and the green spots on its body slowly dissipated.
"You've subdued another new poison. Good job, little poison insect."
Lu Chen praised the Hundred Poison Devouring Heart Insect, which teetered between life and death every time it ingested a new toxic substance.
This particular insect was addicted to poison and, due to its affinity with the Misfortune Poison Body, was extremely sensitive to various toxic gases and substances. Each time it consumed something new, it would experience violent adverse reactions.
If not for Lu Chen's ability to sense its detailed state and possess various treasures to save it, it might have died countless times.
The Hundred Poison Devouring Heart Insect was aware of this, and it wanted to crawl to Lu Chen's feet, its body emitting toxic smoke.
"Don't come over here."
Lu Chen sighed, looking at the insect that wanted to get close to him.
After devouring various toxic pills and substances, the insect had completely fused them, and its toxicity had become terrifying. Although Lu Chen's physical poison resistance had increased significantly after consuming the Ta Sui meat, seeing the thick toxic smoke rising from the insect's body still made him feel apprehensive.
The insect, aware of its own toxicity, didn't mind Lu Chen's attitude. To it, Lu Chen, who fed it all sorts of rare toxic pills and saved it from the brink of death time and again, held an unparalleled status in its heart.
Lu Chen was just about to go and inspect the situation in the spirit fields when he suddenly felt something strange on the back of his hand, as if a transparent stream was flowing slowly.
"How did this little critter get out of the pill room?"
Lu Chen's consciousness focused on the medicinal beast, instantly learning of its detailed state.
"So, it's been a while since you've tasted any pill poison."
He couldn't help but smile. He had been busy cultivating condensates lately and had neglected this peculiar medicinal beast, which usually had minimal presence.
He immediately took out a common third-grade pill from his storage bag. Through his spiritual sense, he felt the beast's body change as it wrapped itself around the round pill, pulling it into the pill room to enjoy slowly.
Lu Chen then made his way to the spirit fields and squatted in front of a Luminous Waterbloom.
On the leaves of the Water Firefly Grass, several deep blue bumps had appeared, glowing with vibrant life force, causing the delicate leaves' surrounding fireflies to appear dim in comparison.
"Finally, I've successfully condensed the spirit seeds from the remaining fifty Water Firefly Grass plants."
A smile appeared on Lu Chen's face as he carefully reached out and plucked a deep blue, slender spirit seed from one of the bumps.
Previously, he had planted more than two hundred and fifty Water Firefly Grass plants, harvesting two hundred of them and using the rest to condense spirit seeds.
At that time, in order to activate two hundred white light groups at once, he had ripened a large number of Water Firefly Grass with his Greenwood Source Qi. The remaining plants had inherently slower growth, and it took over a month for them to fully condense their spirit seeds.
Using his seed-condensing technique, Lu Chen obtained around three hundred spirit seeds from the fifty-odd Water Firefly Grass plants.
"I'll follow the usual practice and plant two hundred of them," he thought. "With the rest, I'll try to improve and create Ice Firefly Grass spirit seeds."
He carefully harvested the spirit seeds, knowing that they would need special treatment before they could be planted after some time.
Lu Chen was already adept at handling Water Firefly Grass spirit seeds, and he patiently processed each one in the courtyard.
Tending to the spirit seeds was a tedious process, but Lu Chen found it enjoyable.
His farming life was uneventful, simple, and peaceful, lacking the thrills of secret realm exploration or battling demon beasts, yet he relished it.
Hearing tales of fellow cultivators perishing in their pursuit of opportunities within secret realms made Lu Chen appreciate the tranquility of his simple life.
Moreover, the opportunities that other cultivators risked their lives for were easily within Lu Chen's grasp. What more could he ask for?
Three days later, Lu Chen had stored all the processed spirit seeds using a special method and proceeded to inspect his spirit fields, checking on each spirit plant in detail.
"The Hidden Root Grass is about to mature," he said, his eyes gleaming with joy as he looked at the unassuming grass in his field.
Though it appeared no different from ordinary weeds, the Hidden Root Grass held great value in Lu Chen's eyes.
It was a primary ingredient in the Foundation Establishment Pills, and the luminous orbs harvested from mature plants offered excellent rewards.
The rewards included the Naling Caozhu, which could replenish his Greenwood Source Qi, precious Tier 3 Foundation Establishment Pills, and experience packages for pill recipes.
Each reward was incredibly practical.
Lu Chen tended to the over thirty Hidden Root Grass plants with care before moving on to inspect the rest of his spirit field.
Finally, he arrived at a well.
It wasn't very large, but it held significance. The well was filled with Tier 3 spirit liquid, the Youquan Linglin.
When he had taken the high-level spirit plants from the incomplete secret realm, Lu Chen couldn't bear to leave the spring behind, so he had filled many bottles with the Youquan Linglin as a memento and to nurture the remaining two Dragon Corpse Grass plants.
At the bottom of the well lay the skeletons of flood dragons, their ancient white bones emitting a faint, true dragon aura. Two slender black shadows flashed within the eerie bones.
The shadows resembled flood dragons, their heads proud and majestic, exuding a subtle air of true dragon might.
Lu Chen focused his attention on the two Dragon Corpse Grass plants.
"One of them has fully matured!" he exclaimed in surprise.
Previously, he had dug up three Dragon Corpse Grass plants from the bottom of Thousand Dragon Lake. On his way to the vicinity of Black Demon Abyss, he had intentionally ripened one of them to enhance his survival chances, obtaining a Tier 5 treasure, the Nine Dragon Charts.
Now, another Dragon Corpse Grass had naturally matured!
"It's rare to have a Tier 5 spirit plant mature," Lu Chen said, rubbing his hands together. He extended his spiritual sense into the well and carefully harvested the mature Dragon Corpse Grass.
As he focused his mind, a thought appeared in his consciousness.
Dragon Corpse Grass, Tier 5 spirit plant, formed from the essence of true dragon remains. Nurtured with flood dragon bones and Tier 3 or higher spirit liquid, it can aid cultivators in breaking through their corresponding cultivation methods and has a certain probability of assisting flood dragon spirit beasts in bloodline advancement.
Lu Chen carefully stored the Dragon Corpse Grass and turned his attention to a white luminous orb floating on the surface of the well.
He held his breath and gently touched the orb.
It shattered silently like a mirage, condensing into a pristine spirit pearl that emanated faint dragon roars, instantly merging into Lu Chen's body.
A thought then flashed through his consciousness.
Harvested a Dragon Corpse Grass and obtained a Tier 6 treasure, the Alligator Dragon Pearl.
