Chapter 838: The Devil Buddha's Skeleton
Chapter 838: The Devil Buddha's Skeleton
"Who would have thought that my kind and benevolent self would gain such a notorious reputation in this incarnation?"
Lu Chen, quietly observing from his cave abode, couldn't help but chuckle at the situation outside.
Perhaps out of fear of Ling Gu's strength, the tall and thin elder didn't show the slightest displeasure at being treated so impolitely. Instead, he let out a bitter laugh and reluctantly left.
Lu Chen's incarnation approached and pondered silently, having refused the elder's offer decisively as per Lu Chen's instructions.
This refusal was intentional, as Lu Chen wanted his incarnation to seize opportunities to explore mysterious realms and seek precious treasures when the time was right. However, that didn't mean it could go gallivanting everywhere.
In his opinion, the intrusion of the evil demons presented both a great opportunity for acquiring treasures and a significant risk. One wrong step, and they could end up dead at the hands of these demons.
With only one Holy Infant Fruit incarnation at his disposal, Lu Chen had to be prudent in its usage.
He was supportive of his incarnation exploring mysterious realms.
Thanks to the abundance of rare treasures and superior cultivation techniques provided by Lu Chen, the incarnation had become exceedingly powerful and was capable of handling most mysterious realms.
Even if it were lost, the loss to Lu Chen himself would not be irreparable; it wouldn't even be considered a major setback.
While his spiritual sense and soul would be damaged, they would recover to their normal state after some time.
Although Lu Chen rarely ventured out to explore mysterious realms himself, he understood that sometimes, circumstances were beyond one's control. Having this incarnation to act in his stead was already a great advantage.
Despite his vast wealth and resources, which could easily acquire any spirit herb or treasure he desired through the use of spirit stones, Lu Chen knew that spirit stones had their limitations. They were not the solution for obtaining the higher-tier spirit herbs and treasures that were seldom encountered, such as the Spirit Spring and Spirit Soil.
Sometimes, one had to acquire treasures personally.
This was where the necessity of an incarnation became apparent.
More importantly, the incarnation could share the burden of cultivating the evil spirit herbs with Lu Chen.
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Chen reentered the underworld spirit field, which was permeated with dense yin energy.
As soon as he stepped in, the oppressive yin energy washed over him. The wails of vengeful spirits, the sounds of chewing flesh, and the rattling of bones filled his ears.
Lu Chen, accustomed to this environment, walked calmly through the underworld spirit field.
The large meatball, full of vitality, hopped over to him, its fur standing on end to reveal the strange mouths hidden beneath.
"The Meat Spirit God is about to break through to the Calamity-level demon. When that happens, it should provide a decent orb reward."
Lu Chen sensed the meatball's aura and thought to himself.
This Calamity-level demon was growing at an astonishing rate, soon to possess strength comparable to a Golden Core cultivator. However, in front of Lu Chen, who could obtain orb rewards, its growth seemed less impressive.
Lu Chen took out a piece of fresh meat and tossed it to the meatball.
Just as he was about to get up to inspect the evil spirit herbs, he felt something strange on the back of his foot.
Looking down, he saw a bewitchingly seductive skin bag softly clinging to his body, slowly writhing as if tempting Lu Chen or seeking to merge with his body.
"This Alluring Corpse Skin is growing well, thanks to the abundance of skin bags it has absorbed."
Lu Chen gently shook his foot, sending the Alluring Corpse Skin flying to the side, where it obediently took root in the Dark Mire flesh.
Nearby, the Ancestral Coffin Wood had grown to over two feet in length. The spirit herb resembled a small, intricate coffin standing upright, exuding a chilling yin energy.
Not far away, a blood arrow shot out from a blood pool.
Lu Chen easily blocked it with his spiritual sense, after which a barrage of blood arrows rained down like a storm.
In the shallow end of the blood pool, the Blood Spring's Mollusk Queen lay in wait, spewing out an endless stream of blood from its cracks.
Lu Chen effortlessly dodged the attack and took out several bottles of Flood Dragon essence blood from his storage bag, pouring them into the blood pool.
Further in, there was the Savage Bone Demon Species, which no longer resembled a human form.
There was also the sixth-grade Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform and the sixth-grade Ghost-Eating Evil Vine.
"Hmm? As expected, the Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform has matured."
Lu Chen's consciousness focused on the Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform, and he gazed at the semi-transparent progress bar that had reached its limit, a joyful expression appearing on his face.
Back when he was still at the Foundation Establishment realm, he had obtained this Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform spirit seed from Wood Daoist in exchange for a fifth-grade Nail Head Arrow.
After nearly four decades of painstaking cultivation and nourishment with countless demon beast and cultivator bones, he had finally succeeded in cultivating this sixth-grade evil spirit plant to maturity.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform before him stood over ten feet tall, with countless bones of varying thicknesses entwined and interconnected, forming layer upon layer of bizarre bone platforms.
At first glance, the platforms, tapering from thick bases to thin tops, resembled a tower made of white bones, exuding an air of mysterious evil.
"It's perfect timing since Wood Daoist has been at the branch office of the Commerce Guild these years. I can bring it to him while I'm there."
Lu Chen thought to himself as he carefully pulled the Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform out of the spirit soil.
As he focused his consciousness on this bizarre bone platform, he instantly gained detailed information about the spirit plant.
Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform, a sixth-grade spirit plant. It is a spirit seed born from a ten-thousand-year-old skeleton devil of the Secret Magic Sect, cultivated using a large number of demon beast and cultivator bone essences.
During its growth, the spirit plant absorbs bone essence and constructs layer upon layer of bone forests, eventually forming a complete Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform.
After the spirit plant matures, it can be refined into an evil magical treasure, or one can cultivate demonic techniques and supernatural powers within the viewing platform, accelerating their cultivation progress.
"It's a decent product that can speed up the cultivation of evil techniques."
"It's a pity it doesn't belong to me. Otherwise, I could have my incarnation cultivate inside it, and its cultivation would definitely improve swiftly."
Lu Chen thought with some regret.
However, he would not do anything to tarnish his reputation.
After all, Wood Daoist had entrusted him with the Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform spirit seed because he trusted his skill in cultivating spirit plants. Lu Chen did not intend to damage his reputation, built over many years, for a small gain.
"I can only harvest a light orb as a consolation for my wounded heart."
Lu Chen thought to himself.
His gaze was completely drawn to a white light orb that had appeared below without him noticing.
The light orb flickered slightly, and even though he had seen this scene countless times, it still held immense attraction for him.
"This is the first sixth-grade evil spirit plant I've cultivated."
He had cultivated several sixth-grade spirit plants before, but this was his first evil spirit plant.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light orb. In an instant, the light orb silently shattered, and countless tiny light orbs burst forth like fireworks, raining down a shower of light.
Before the countless light specks could fall, they swiftly condensed into a skeleton shadow in the air, which instantly merged into Lu Chen's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
Harvested a sixth-grade spirit plant, the Skeleton Devil Viewing Platform, and obtained a seventh-grade treasure, the Devil Buddha's Skeleton.
As the thought vanished, a strange skeleton appeared before Lu Chen.
