Chapter 588: Yin Wood Green Thunder Vine
Chapter 588: Yin Wood Green Thunder Vine
A dazzling golden broadsword appeared in his hand, with a vague shadow of a four-armed Bodhisattva on its blade, solemn and majestic.
It was the fifth-grade flying sword that emerged from the peacock's light group, the Peacock King Sword.
Legend has it that it was made from the feathers of the peacock under the Buddha Peacock Ming King in the Buddhist world, and it has an extremely strong restraining effect on this kind of Yin Thunder.
"A fifth-grade flying sword! How can a spiritual herbologist like you have such a treasure!!!"
The white-haired old woman was so jealous that she almost went crazy. She never expected that Lu Chen, the most inconspicuous of the five, would possess such a rare treasure.
Her eyes were half fearful and half burning, afraid of the power of the fifth-grade flying sword, yet also coveting it.
Soon, desire overcame reason.
If a fifth-grade flying sword were in the hands of a pill-forming cultivator or even a fellow cultivator at the same level as her, she would have turned around and left without hesitation.
But it was different in Lu Chen's hands. A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator possessing such a treasure was like a child holding gold, flaunting it openly. How could it not tempt her?
In the white-haired old woman's mind, the difficulty of defeating Lu Chen had increased greatly. However, compared to the fifth-grade flying sword and the green vine spirit liquid, this bit of risk was worth taking.
A flash of determination appeared in her eyes, and she took out a dark yellow stone canister from her storage bag, biting her tongue sharply. A puff of essence blood shot into the stone canister.
Instantly, a strange buzzing sound came from the stone canister, a sound that made one's head dizzy and nauseous, as if it were about to overturn the canister.
With a thought from the white-haired old woman, she struggled to control the stone canister in front of her. In an instant, hundreds of hideously shaped, fierce demonic insects flew out of it.
"Destroy it!"
She pointed at Lu Chen from a distance, and instantly, all the demonic insects swirled and danced, attacking Lu Chen from all directions.
"This old witch actually raised so many demonic insects!"
Lu Chen's spiritual sense swept over the insects, and he found that their strength was not to be underestimated. Among them, there were no fewer than twenty of the third-grade level, and three of the fourth-grade level.
Under such an offensive, even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator would likely be overwhelmed by this swarm of insects.
He easily retreated several feet and threw out several talismans.
"You want to bully me with numbers?"
Sword intent surged from the surface of the talismans, and in an instant, Lu Chen's body was surrounded by countless tiny sword auras, enveloping all the strange demonic insects.
The sword intent here was like a tidal wave, surging and sweeping everything in its path. Dozens of demonic insects were like a leaf in the wind, unable to withstand the onslaught of the sword aura waves and instantly turning into countless fragments.
Over there, the sword intent was like a blazing sun in the sky. The reddish-yellow sword aura shot out like dense rays of light, and the demonic insects within its range seemed to have their minds stripped away, frozen in place, and then eroded by countless sword auras.
There was also a powerful sword aura like a meteor, drawing out numerous magical arcs as it directly penetrated the bodies of the demonic insects one by one.
The hundreds of powerful demonic insects, under the combined attack of the five fourth-grade sword talismans, were all eliminated in just a few breaths.
"Puh!"
The white-haired old woman spat out a mouthful of essence blood. Half of it was because she was connected to those demonic insects, and their sudden demise injured her as well. The other half was out of anger and frustration. These demonic insects were not easy to collect, and she had spent a lot of time and energy cultivating them. They had served her well in the past.
But now, in front of Lu Chen, they were easily wiped out by a few talismans!
As she lamented her loss, she finally understood that she was no match for Lu Chen. Her thoughts turned desperate, and she spat another mouthful of essence blood onto the dragon-headed cane.
Instantly, a dragon shadow shot out from within, riding the clouds and driving the mist, carrying her away into the distance.
In an instant, she had fled more than a hundred meters away.
In that fleeting moment, the old woman, who was struggling to regain clarity, felt a sharp, silver-white cone pierce through her sea of consciousness.
Agonizing pain racked her body, as if her head was being split in two.
Immediately after, her head felt lighter, and a four-armed Bodhisattva's shadow loomed above her, as if looking down at her, the distance between them growing more and more distant.
Lu Chen transformed into a flowing light and rushed to where the white-haired old woman's headless body stood, catching her head just before it hit the ground.
With a practiced movement, he took out a bizarre lantern. The dark red tassels at the base of the lantern swayed, pulling the old woman's lingering soul into the lantern, squeezing it in with the countless vengeful spirits in the ghostly white candle.
Then, the Soul-Luring Lantern circled the Thunder Pool once, sucking in the souls of those demonic insects as well.
"I can't help it. The underworld spirit plants at home have a huge demand for vengeful spirits, and I can't afford to waste any," Lu Chen muttered to himself as he gazed at the thickened layer of souls in the candle.
The dragon shadow vanished without a controller, turning back into a dragon-headed cane and falling to the ground.
"A superior fourth-grade magical artifact. This should fetch a good number of spirit stones," Lu Chen remarked.
"But this artifact is too distinctive. I'll have to be extra careful when selling it," he added, scrutinizing the cane.
Lu Chen examined the dragon-headed cane and took the storage bag from the old woman's waist, not forgetting to store the corpse into the Gluttonous Beast Pouch.
"The physical body of a fully formed Foundation Establishment cultivator still has great value. Its flesh and blood are quite precious," he mused.
Without rushing to break the restrictions on the storage bag, he first checked its contents with his spiritual sense.
Since the white-haired old woman had found this place, the other four might do the same. To avoid any further complications, it was best to deal with this extraordinary green vine spirit plant as soon as possible.
Lu Chen tidied up the remains and refocused his attention on the Thunder Pool and the green vine.
A thunderous rumble echoed, and the silhouette of the Thunder Ghost slowly appeared.
"Thank you for the warning earlier," Lu Chen said, cupping his fist in gratitude.
In the midst of the thunderous sky, the ability of the Nightmare Eye was greatly affected. When he had been collecting the green spirit liquid earlier, it was the Thunder Ghost who had discovered the old woman's presence and reminded him while avoiding her himself.
The Thunder Ghost let out a bizarre laugh, like thunder exploding, before turning into strands of thunderous spiritual energy and vanishing.
Lu Chen's spiritual sense perceived that the Thunder Ghost would help him keep an eye on the surroundings and alert him immediately if anything unusual happened.
He approached the edge of the Thunder Pool and extended his spiritual sense downward, probing deep into the endless thunder to discover the massive green vine's roots.
He successively cast Spirit Rain Technique and Wood Birth Technique, focusing his mind on the enormous green vine.
Instantly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately understood everything about the spirit plant.
Yin Wood Green Thunder Vine, a seventh-grade spirit plant, grows in an ocean of thunder. Nurtured by Wood-attributed spirit thunder, it condenses fifth-grade Yin Wood thunder liquid during its growth. Consuming it can aid in the cultivation of thunder-attributed techniques and supernatural powers, enhancing physical strength.
When the spirit plant matures, the Yin Wood Green Thunder Fruit it bears can alter a cultivator's root bone, bestowing a powerful talent in thunder-attributed magic.
It is both destruction and creation!
"A seventh-grade spirit plant!"
As the thought vanished, Lu Chen's eyes widened in astonishment.
While he had anticipated that the spirit plant before him might be extraordinary, he never expected it to be a seventh-grade spirit plant, something he had never possessed before!
"I have to plant it!"
An incredibly strong urge to cultivate this plant emerged in his mind.
