Chapter 839: Evil Cultivator? A Fiendish Demon!
The skeleton was only half the height of a person, sitting with its hands folded and its legs crossed, resembling an enlightened monk pondering the teachings of Buddhism.
Half of it was black, and the other half was pristine white like jade, emitting a faint Buddhist glow. It was captivating and awe-inspiring.
Within its chest cavity was a cloud of black mist, from which faint chants could be heard. Occasionally, a grim-faced monk's silhouette would appear before disappearing back into the mist.
Lu Chen's consciousness focused on the bizarre skeleton before him, and he immediately gained a detailed understanding of it.
Magic Buddha's White Bone Body, a Seventh-grade treasure. It is said that within the Great Wheel Temple, a Buddha once attempted to cultivate a supreme body-refining technique by forcibly merging an otherworldly demon into his body. Unfortunately, he failed and eventually became a half-Buddha, half-demon entity.
After his sitting meditation, he left behind this bizarre skeleton, which was obtained by a Nascent Soul evil cultivator. Countless cultivators' and demonic beasts' bones were collected and fused into it, refining it into the Magic Buddha's White Bone Body.
By refining it, one can greatly enhance their physical strength and, by borrowing the power of the Buddha-Demon within, completely merge with it to summon a Magic Buddha avatar.
"A Seventh-grade treasure!"
Although he had expected as much, Lu Chen still felt infinite joy upon actually obtaining a Seventh-grade treasure.
"As expected of the light group! Ordinary Core Formation cultivators would have to risk their lives to obtain a Seventh-grade treasure, competing with others."
"Unlike me, all I need to do is cultivate high-level spirit herbs to maturity, and I can produce one high-grade treasure after another."
Lu Chen stared at the Magic Buddha's White Bone Body before him, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"You can have this one."
He quickly made a decision.
This Seventh-grade treasure was more suitable for Ling Gu's avatar.
His main body had already refined the Seventh-grade Scarlet Phoenix Bone, so even with the addition of the Magic Buddha's White Bone Body, the improvement would be limited.
On the other hand, Ling Gu was just an avatar created by the Saint Infant Fruit, and his physical body was weaker than that of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.
If he refined the Magic Buddha's White Bone Body, the improvement would be evident, and it would greatly enhance the strength of the avatar.
Upon hearing this, Ling Gu's avatar channeled his spiritual power and took the bizarre skeleton into his hand. He would wait for an opportune moment to refine it.
After obtaining the Sixth-grade Demon-Viewing Spirit Herb, Lu Chen did not rush to leave.
It was a rare opportunity for him to come to the Fengyuan Star Cave, so he naturally wanted to take good care of the evil spirit herbs growing in his Underworld Spirit Field.
Additionally, the Meat Spirit God was on the verge of a breakthrough, and he might receive another light group as a reward.
For the following period, he meticulously tended to the large meatball and quietly awaited this disaster-level evil spirit's advancement.
One day, as he was cultivating spirit herbs in his spirit field, a cultivator paid him a visit.
"Friend Ling, your reputation precedes you. I happened to be passing by and thought I'd pay you a visit."
The visitor was a tall young man with a string of intricate skulls hanging on his chest. His cheekbones were high and sharp, as if they were about to pierce through his skin. He had the cultivation base of the middle Core Formation stage.
"Who are you?" Ling Gu asked in a hoarse voice.
"I am Nie Chi from the White Bone Palace," the young man smiled.
Ling Gu remained calm and nodded slightly.
The young man was already aware of the temperament of the mysterious cultivator before him and didn't take offense. He continued, "Friend Ling, the White Bone True Lord of the White Bone Palace admires you greatly. In the coming days, he intends to hold a Ten Thousand Bones Assembly, inviting True Lords and True Men from the Fengyuan Star Cave and other places to attend."
"I have long admired your reputation, Friend Ling, and I bring an invitation for you."
"Friend Ling, won't you invite me in for a chat?" The young man's eyebrows arched, as if Ling Gu's aloofness had sparked a competitive spirit within him.
Ling Gu nodded slightly.
"Please come in, Friend Nie."
Ever since he entered the Fengyuan Star Cave, he had learned from the little skeleton cultivator that the White Bone Palace was a formidable force, even causing the Star Master of Fengyuan to treat their Palace Master with respect.
Therefore, upon hearing the young man's invitation, he secretly instructed Ling Gu to accept.
The two of them arrived at the outer court, and Nie Chi glanced at the back of the cave mansion, which was completely obscured by the restrictive formations, but he didn't try to peek.
"Please, Nie Daoist," Ling Gu said indifferently as he served spirit fruits and tea.
"Thank you, Ling Daoist," the young man hastily accepted, expressing his gratitude.
They chatted casually, mostly with the young man doing the talking while Ling Gu occasionally offered his opinions.
Lu Chen remained quiet at the back, gazing at the distant figure of Nie Chi sipping his tea. On a whim, he focused his spiritual sense on the young man's body.
"Hmm?"
He couldn't help but exclaim softly.
A sudden thought flashed through his mind:
{Secret Demon, Extraterritorial Sky Demon. This being's movements are shrouded in mystery, and it possesses the Secret Demon Differentiation Technique, allowing it to silently invade a target's body, assimilating their soul, spirit, and consciousness. It can perfectly disguise itself as a regular person.}
"The White Bone Palace cultivator outside my cave mansion is not just a demonic cultivator, but also an Extraterritorial Sky Demon?"
Lu Chen was astonished.
He slowly calmed his mind and quietly contemplated a plan of action.
"I didn't expect those demons to have already infiltrated to such an extent. Or perhaps they've long been under the control of those demons?"
"However, the most important thing now is how to handle this matter."
As Lu Chen listened to the conversation between Ling Gu and the young man, a strong killing intent flashed through his mind.
"To kill or to spare?"
"After all, he represents the White Bone Palace. If he dies here, it would be difficult to explain. As long as he doesn't do anything that affects my peaceful cultivation, I can temporarily spare his life."
His heart gradually leaned towards one decision.
"Additionally, I must be cautious and determine if only he has been possessed by the Sky Demon, or if the entire White Bone Palace has been infiltrated."
"If it's the latter, then that so-called Ten Thousand Bones Assembly might be fraught with danger."
Lu Chen secretly made the worst-case assumption.
Although Ling Gu had already accepted the invitation, he could always change his mind later and come up with some excuse.
"The White Bone Palace has mostly invited demonic cultivators from the Fengyuan Star Cave, and out of ten of them, at least nine have countless lives on their hands. It would be beneficial to the cultivation world to reduce their numbers.
There's no need to create trouble for myself by worrying about their safety."
Lu Chen had no intention of wading into murky waters.
If this were happening in the Leihu Star Cave, and the cultivators involved were those with whom he had a good relationship, he might have tried to find a way to warn Tianxing Cave in advance. But the situation was different in the Fengyuan Star Cave.
As a kind and benevolent spirit herbologist who rarely took lives, he wished for nothing more than to see the number of demonic cultivators decrease.
"Ling Daoist, I, Nie, still have matters to attend to and cannot stay for long."
"Let's have a good exchange at the grand assembly. Please remember to attend on time, Daoist friend."
The young man stood up and bid Ling Gu farewell.
"Certainly," Ling Gu replied expressionlessly, his response brief.
"Please forgive me for not seeing you off."
He cupped his hands toward Nie Chi.
After Nie Chi's figure completely disappeared, Lu Chen quickly activated the two major protective formations.
"It's impossible to find peace in the Fengyuan Star Cave; there are always demonic cultivators trying to harm me."
Lu Chen sighed softly.
"From another perspective, there are always demonic cultivators offering themselves up as fertilizer."
A smile curved his lips.
