Chapter 705: Annihilating the Evil Spirit with Thunder - The Art of Controlling Thunder
A thought flashed through his mind, and a gray-white bottle with a slender neck appeared in his hand.
The bottle's surface was adorned with intricate patterns of ferocious beasts, each one exuding a menacing aura.
Within the bottle, a dense and tangible aura of sha energy swirled violently. When Lu Chen probed it with his spiritual sense, the icy sha energy felt like towering waves crashing down on him, causing him to shudder involuntarily.
He withdrew his spiritual sense from the bottle and focused his attention on it, immediately gaining a detailed understanding of its properties.
The Yin Sha Bottle, a sixth-grade treasure, contains yin sha energy refined from the sha energy of hundreds of ferocious beasts by Foundation Establishment cultivators using special means.
The yin sha energy within the bottle is extremely potent. It can invade the physical body and disturb one's mental state. If poured out completely, it can turn a region into a desolate wasteland. After refining the yin sha energy, one can control it freely to assist in their cultivation and enhance their spiritual powers.
"A sixth-grade treasure..." Lu Chen was pleased. The fifth-grade Sha Yuan Guo had indeed given him an unexpected surprise.
"And this Sha Yuan Guo as well. After consuming it, one can enhance their physical body. It's also a rare treasure."
He examined the gray-white spirit fruit in his hand, which was permeated with dense sha energy.
"However, there's a peculiar effect after consuming the spirit fruit. A powerful sha energy will condense in the cultivator's body, which can be used against enemies but is also difficult to conceal."
"For an ordinary spiritual herbologist like me, having my body filled with sha energy would be a little too eye-catching."
Of course, there was another more important reason. His physical body had already undergone numerous temperings. Now, constantly nourished by the sixth-grade Taishang meat and the seventh-grade Liuliu Chi Feng bones, the benefits of consuming the Sha Yuan Guo would be limited.
Therefore, he decided to keep the spirit fruit for the time being, waiting for a suitable opportunity to either exchange it for spirit seeds or use it directly.
After obtaining the Sha Yuan Guo, Lu Chen returned to his previous lifestyle as a spiritual herbologist, and time passed in a cyclical manner. Soon, half a year had gone by.
On the occasional outings, he would only go to the Tower of Stars or meet up with a few Golden Core cultivators he had befriended nearby.
During this period, the various spirit plants in the spirit fields thrived.
Among the newly planted spirit plants, the fourth-grade Wugeng Wood and the fifth-grade Yuanyang Wood had changed significantly.
Two spirit plants for refining artifacts were particularly notable. One was deep and dark, growing quietly and unobtrusively, while the other was bright as fire, surrounded by a radiant aura.
The sixth-grade Yuan Magnetic Spirit Wood had already sprouted a small seedling about three inches long. The seedling was semi-transparent, and the surrounding area was filled with a unique force field that could silently pull Lu Chen's flying sword from his waist.
Last but not least was the unique spirit plant, the Huang Yan Canyon, which nurtured the ferocious bone demon seed.
Under Lu Chen's deliberate stimulation, it had long lost its sanity and transformed into a being that was neither human nor ghost.
It barely maintained its human form, its body devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only wrinkled skin hanging loosely, revealing the bizarre skeleton within.
The skeleton was oddly shaped and grew wildly, as if giving birth to a sinister life form.
Lu Chen focused his mind on it and confirmed that it posed no threat to him before allowing it to grow freely. From time to time, he would take out some ferocious beast bones and let it absorb them at an incredible speed.
Within the span of half a year, not many spirit plants reached maturity, and most of them were low-grade varieties.
He kept twenty Ice Firefly Grass plants for seed condensation, harvesting the rest completely. From them, he gained over twenty years' worth of cultivation and two fourth-grade Ice Pobe Pills.
The two fifth-grade Sword Grass plants were also close to full maturity.
Having obtained numerous rare treasures from the Sword Grass light groups, Lu Chen had high expectations for these two plants.
In addition to the Thunder Lotus spirit seed he had purchased from Hailou Commerce, Lu Chen had also collected eight more seeds during his exploration of the Thunder Sea's medicinal garden with Lu Xuan. However, due to their late planting, they were only now reaching maturity.
With caution, he plucked one of the Thunder Lotuses. The countless strands of thunderous energy covering the lotus were extremely sensitive, and the slightest stimulation could cause a rampage. He had to be extra careful.
After plucking the lotus, he carefully extracted the silvery-white lotus seeds within and stored them in his storage bag.
At the tip of the plant, a white light cluster silently appeared.
Lu Xuan reached out and gently touched the surface of the light cluster.
In an instant, the light cluster shattered silently, scattering countless tiny lights that swiftly condensed into a thunderous shadow, which immediately vanished into Lu Xuan's body.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Harvested one fourth-grade Thunder Lotus and obtained the treasure, the Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder.
As the thought crossed his mind, a strand of golden spiritual lightning appeared before Lu Xuan.
The spiritual lightning was dazzlingly golden, shining brightly as if it could purge all impurities from the world. It seemed to have a life of its own as it continuously weaved around Lu Xuan.
"No specific grade?" Lu Xuan wondered, focusing his mind on the strand of golden spiritual lightning and instantly understanding its details.
Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder, high-grade spirit thunder, particularly effective against evil spirits and demons. Its power depends on the number of strands. A sufficient amount can inflict severe damage on Calamity-grade evils and even Golden Core true lords.
"I see. I wonder how effective a strand of Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder would be against a demon cultivator at the same stage or an evil spirit of the same level," Lu Xuan mused.
For the time being, he placed the spiritual lightning into an exquisite jade box and sealed it with talismans, intending to continue harvesting the remaining Thunder Lotuses.
The countless lights in the sky transformed into a tome-like shadow that instantly surged into his body.
Harvested one fourth-grade Thunder Lotus and obtained the treasure, the Shenix True Art - Thunder Control Chapter.
As the shadow vanished, a thought emerged in Lu Xuan's mind.
Immediately, a flood of information poured into his sea of consciousness.
He learned that the Shenix True Art - Thunder Control Chapter originated from the ancient Shenix Sect, forming a part of their fundamental cultivation methods.
It contained detailed introductions to various types of spiritual lightning, as well as methods for their collection and control, enabling cultivators to better harness and utilize the power of spiritual lightning.
"As expected of the light cluster, providing me with just what I need," Lu Xuan praised.
He was delighted as he gained insight into the art contained within his consciousness. Just as he had been worrying about how to refine the Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder, the light cluster presented him with the corresponding treasure.
Although the Thunder Control Chapter was not a specific cultivation technique but rather a secret art, it was still immensely valuable to Lu Xuan.
Divine and spiritual lightning were usually fierce and uncontrollable, making them extremely difficult to handle. Even when he had ventured into the Thunder Sea, he had to proceed with caution while collecting the most ordinary spiritual lightning to avoid triggering a rampage.
Now, with the Thunder Control Chapter, he could overcome this challenge.
He carefully absorbed the information that had appeared in his mind, digesting it to the point where he felt as if he had spent many years researching thunderous arts, gaining an intricate understanding of various spiritual lightning.
Methods of collection, refinement, and control—the applications were endless.
