Chapter 684: Oohs and Aahs
Chapter 684: Oohs and Aahs
After swallowing the flesh of the Mountain Cultivator, the giant meatball swayed from side to side, savoring the wonderful taste of the flesh, becoming more and more excited. Finally, it bounced up and down on the ground, causing the layers of meat folds to ripple.
"Delicious!"
It sent a thought to Lu Chen.
A smile curved Lu Chen's lips. After all, the Mountain Cultivator was at the mid-Core Formation stage and had cultivated a deviant divine ability related to flesh, so his taste was naturally far superior to that of demonic beasts.
Lu Chen sensed the current state of the Meat Spirit God and decided to find an opportunity to test its strength.
"A calamity-level evil creature, its growth rate is astonishing. It should now have a strength no less than that of a mid-foundation establishment cultivator."
Lu Chen marveled inwardly and took out a palm-sized piece of gorgeous tree bark.
As soon as the tree bark appeared in his palm, the gorgeous patterns on its surface rushed towards Lu Chen as if they wanted to merge into his body and make it their own.
Lu Chen's blood qi shook off the patterns and planted the tree bark into the Dark Mud Meat.
"With my current cultivation, I'm still far from being able to possess your body. You should continue to grow and develop."
"When you mature, I'll give you another chance to possess a body."
He sent a thought to the gorgeous tree bark embedded in the Yu Ni Rou.
After leaving the Yin Realm Spirit Field, Lu Chen remained calm and inspected every corner of the spirit field, carefully examining the detailed condition of each spirit plant.
As he was casting the Spirit Rain Technique on the glowworm grass, a silver-white horn peeked out from the deep blue grass clump.
The horn remained still, as if intentionally hiding its body.
After Lu Chen left, the silver-white horn popped out again in the next clump of glowworm grass.
"Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but find it amusing. He took a few steps forward and pulled out the baby Thunder Dragon Lion from the glowworm grass.
The Thunder Dragon Lion flailed its limbs and let out a short burst of thunderous roar.
The sound was crisp and lacked the formidable might of other Thunder Lions' roars, not to mention comparing it to its ancient ancestor, the Blue-Horned Thunder Bull.
"Looks like it's been doing well during this period in the cave mansion."
Lu Chen remarked as he looked at the Thunder Dragon Lion cub, whose physique was becoming more rounded.
Since leaving the Thunder Lion beast territory, the Thunder Dragon Lion had not only gained some weight but also improved its previously reclusive personality. It even actively showed affection to Lu Chen.
He stroked the silver-white horn on the Thunder Dragon Lion cub's head and took out a Thunder Lotus seed from his storage bag to feed the young beast.
"Cheep!"
The fat bird's familiar voice sounded.
The Thunder Dragon Lion cub rolled around in Lu Chen's embrace before reluctantly leaving.
"This fat bird has worked hard. First, it took care of the Flame Dragon Wyrm, and now the Thunder Dragon Lion. Even before giving birth to its own offspring, it already has decades of experience as a nanny."
Lu Chen looked in the direction of the fat bird's voice and couldn't help but think.
In his line of sight, the Thunder Dragon Lion cub was on its way back, and a giant turtle made of dark blue mud was swiftly approaching it.
The cub immediately forgot about the fat bird's call and started playing and frolicking with the Rock Shell Turtle, soon becoming dirty all over its silver body.
"Raising a little demon beast isn't easy either."
Lu Chen sighed and decided to find an opportunity to properly thank the fat bird, the Wind Falcon, for its hard work.
"Speaking of which, this Rock Shell Turtle is also close to reaching full maturity."
As he concentrated his mental energy, he noticed that the progress bar below the Rock Shell Turtle was about to fill up.
"When that happens, I'll be able to harvest another decent globule of light."
With this thought, he felt even more pleased. After inspecting and caring for all the spirit plants, he arrived at the place with the densest spiritual energy in the cave mansion and took out the six tiny tree sprites.
Having come from the Gluttonous Worm Pouch to this new environment, the six little sprites seemed dazed, blinking their innocent eyes as they stared curiously at their surroundings.
"The Xuanji Treemother has entrusted you to my care, and I will not disappoint her."
"All the spirit plants in the cave are fair game for you to absorb their wood spirit energy."
Lu Chen spoke gently.
At his words, the little tree nymphs' eyes lit up, and they finally noticed the amazing environment they were in.
"Wow!"
"Wow!!!
"So many spirit plants!!!"
The abundance of spirit plants momentarily distracted them from the discomfort of being in a strange environment.
The six tree nymphs rushed to the nearest clump of Glowworm Grass, only to spot the Five-Thunder Conjoined Flowers, Snow Barrier Ice Jade Lotus, and other fifth-grade spirit plants just ahead.
As they were about to get lost in their surroundings, they spotted even more precious spirit plants: the Sitting Buddha Lotus, Purple Violet Thunder Fruit, and Jade Bottle Willow, all of sixth-grade quality.
"Oh my god! What are these spirit plants?!"
When they reached the seventh-grade Yin Wood Thunder Vine, the little tree nymphs were left speechless, frozen in mid-air with only their delicate green wings fluttering reflexively.
"Is this some kind of heavenly secret realm?"
The little tree nymphs' tiny heads were filled with big questions.
Compared to the environment where they had been nurtured before, their new home was incredibly luxurious!
Amidst the continuous exclamations of wonder, even Lu Chen, with his mental fortitude honed through countless trials in the Red Dust Stele, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, a smile playing on his lips.
"My emotional value is maxed out..."
Having the tree nymphs grow up in the cave mansion would be beneficial to him and cause no harm.
While they would absorb tiny amounts of wood spirit energy from the numerous high-grade spirit plants, their presence would have little impact on the plants due to their small size, and they might even improve the spiritual energy environment, benefiting the plants.
Additionally, he could use the Primordial Green Wood Source to nurture them, and if that wasn't enough, he could always supplement their growth with Spirit Grass Pearls.
His spirit fields were filled with Yuan-Storing Grass, so he didn't have to worry about running out of Spirit Grass Pearls.
The spirit fields in the Underworld were also warded, so he didn't have to worry about these innocent little tree nymphs wandering into dangerous areas.
Lu Chen gave the tree nymphs a few instructions, telling them to grow freely within the cave mansion, and then his feet glowed with the light of the Green Cloud Shoes as he soared into the sky like a rocket.
High above, six fifth-grade Star Fruits from the Sea Pavilion slowly rotated, emitting a radiant starlight.
Under the starlight, the brilliant light on the surface of the spirit fruits flickered, as if communicating with the distant stars.
With his spiritual sense, Lu Chen could see that the starlight within the spirit fruits was about to break through their surfaces.
The flickering starlight pulsed with vibrant vitality.
"It shouldn't be long before they take root and sprout."
"But aside from bathing them in starlight, nurturing them with Spirit Rain, and accelerating their growth with the Wood Birth Technique, I should also find some star-related spirit minerals to help these Star Fruits grow even better."
Lu Chen made a mental note to himself.
Upon returning to the spirit fields, he entered a simple restrictive formation.
Within the formation lay a thick layer of silver-white sand, and planted in the sand was a single spirit fruit—the sixth-grade Flying Thunder Herb given to him by the Thunder Horned Ox.
The Flying Thunder Herb was drawn to thunder-attributed spirit energy and objects, and during its growth, it would be naturally attracted to them, moving closer without even realizing it.
For such a restless spirit plant, a restrictive formation was necessary to keep it confined to a specific area.
"As expected, the spirit fruit has already strayed quite a bit from its original position before even taking root and sprouting."
Lu Chen sighed as he looked at the spirit fruit embedded in the spirit loam, its silver-white lingzhi silhouette shimmering.
