Chapter 887: This is Professionalism
Chapter 887: This is Professionalism
"Land friend Lu, how is it? Have you noticed anything?"
Not far away, True Lord Lei Huo asked casually.
After the failure of Wan Shou Zong's true disciple Qin Shan and the Nascent Soul True Lord Bai Shou Laoren, the three major Star Masters had little hope. They asked Lu Xuan to take a look only to go through the motions and not let him come in vain.
"I have a little clue."
Lu Xuan said calmly.
"Oh?"
Everyone raised their heads.
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the monks of Tianxing Cave, whose hearts had been quiet, ignited a glimmer of hope again.
There was disbelief in Bai Shou Elder's expression.
He asked himself if he had already reached the state of enlightenment in the way of beast control, otherwise Tianxing Cave would not have invited him from afar.
But for the abnormality of these high-level spirit beasts, he was at a loss and had no idea. Now, the young monk in front of him, who came from a scattered cultivator, had already found the crux of the problem?
"Please tell us, friend Lu, why are these spirit beasts like this?"
Three rays of light flashed through the void and passed through the defensive spiritual qi barrier, stopping in front of Lu Xuan.
The three Star Masters, none of whom had a lower cultivation base than the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, looked at Lu Xuan with eager eyes.
These high-level spirit beasts were indeed too precious. After hearing Lu Xuan's words, even with the mental state of the Nascent Soul True Lords, they were greatly stirred.
"I have a strong natural resonance with spirit plants and spirit beasts. Coupled with my years of immersion and research into ancient texts, I suddenly remembered a kind of demon insect in the demon path that may cause such abnormal reactions in spirit beasts."
"That insect is called the Three Corpse Insect. Only middle and high-level demons can possibly derive and form them, and they are extremely rare."
"It is formless and colorless, its movements are mysterious, and it loves to invade the bodies of demon beasts, occupying their physical bodies and divine souls."
Lu Xuan spoke slowly, his tone full of certainty.
"Three Corpse Insects?"
True Lord Lei Huo frowned slightly.
With his level of cultivation, he had never even heard of this demon insect.
However, seeing Lu Xuan's confidence, a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart.
"Does Land Friend Lu have a way to separate and destroy these Three Corpse Insects?"
"Yes, it is said that by completely soaking the demon beasts invaded by the Three Corpse Insects in the spirit spring liquid of Extreme Yang, we can force them to reveal themselves. No matter how formless and colorless they are, with the divine senses of the three seniors, you will surely be able to find them."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"Extreme Yang Spirit Spring Liquid? I collected a large amount of Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid in Lei Ji Cave before, which can be used to give it a try."
True Lord Lei Huo nodded slightly. Suddenly, a silver-white jade bottle that was more than half a person tall appeared in the air. There were thunder and electric beast patterns on the jade bottle, and the sound of thunder could be vaguely heard from within.
The gurgling sound of water flowed, and a silver-white river poured out from the mouth of the bottle.
It was white inside, and only after concentrating could one see that it was countless subtle thunder lights.
The Thunder Spirit was violent, and with Lu Xuan's Broken Illusion Pupil Technique strengthening his spiritual sense, it felt slightly painful to look at it for a few more moments.
Soon, the air condensed into a ball of liquid with a diameter of about one zhang, and the terrifying power contained within could be felt from a distance.
"Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid? This is a rather rare sixth-grade spirit liquid. Using so much of it to separate the so-called Three Corpse Insects, Brother Lei Huo is really generous."
Looking at the large ball of Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid, the elder Bai Shou, who was standing by, widened his pupils.
Although he was also a Nascent Soul True Lord, in terms of strength and background, he was far inferior to True Lord Lei Huo, who controlled a Star Cave. This scene inevitably made him feel a little sour.
After the spirit liquid condensed, True Lord Lei Huo grabbed it with one hand, and a giant silver-white palm shadow flashed by. In an instant, a mutated spirit beast was grabbed from the formation below.
However, its efforts were futile as it was tossed into the watery mass by the giant palm.
The moment it entered, the countless lightning sparks within became exceedingly active, rushing into the mutated spirit beast's orifices.
True Lord Lei Huo kept his eyes tightly shut, his spiritual sense completely locking onto the mass of water.
Suddenly, a series of faint silver-white bubbles rose within the Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid, and sensing something, he opened his eyes. With a tug of his spiritual power, a three-headed transparent insect wriggled out of the liquid.
The three tiny heads were blurred, as if they were merely condensed from pure malicious intent.
"Indeed, there are demon insects!"
Star Master Qing Mu exclaimed in surprise.
Star Master Wu Tu, standing beside him, glanced at Lu Chen with an appreciative look in his eyes.
Although Elder Bai Shou's cultivation was slightly inferior, after the Three Corpse Insects were separated by the Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid, he was still able to detect their presence.
Lu Chen, hailing from a major sect and having achieved perfection in pill formation, and Qin Shan, cultivating an extraordinary divine eye technique and superior observation skills, both possessed spiritual sense far surpassing their peers, and they too, roughly sensed the presence of the Three Corpse Insects.
As for the rest of the Tianxing Cave monks, they could only look on in bewilderment.
The Three Corpse Insects were only unique in form and habits, but their strength was average. Once extracted, their fate was sealed, and they faced nothing but death.
The three Star Masters swept their spiritual senses over the insects repeatedly, carefully confirming their findings. Then, a thunder talisman appeared out of thin air and landed on the body of the Three Corpse Insects with a smack.
Tendrils of bluish smoke rose, and the transparent three-headed insect was burned to nothingness.
The spirit beast within the mass of water was flung out and crashed to the ground.
Under the curious gazes of everyone present, the spirit beast shook its head and staggered to its feet, its eyes vacant and devoid of the previous frenzy and violence.
Several powerful spiritual senses swept over it simultaneously, confirming the absence of any abnormalities before True Lord Lei Huo and the others finally broke into smiles.
"It really works!"
"Land Friend Lu truly lives up to his reputation as Tianxing Cave's most renowned spirit herbologist and beast master."
"No, after today, he will be the most famous in Liyang Realm, or even the entire Zhongzhou!"
Star Master Qing Mu said with a smile.
"Your flattery is too much for me, seniors," Lu Chen quickly replied.
"The facts are right before our eyes, young friend. There's no need for modesty," Star Master Wu Tu said slowly.
"I've dedicated all my heart to the study of spirit herbs and beasts, whereas for other herbologists and beast tamers, cultivation is their primary pursuit. To them, spirit beasts are merely a means to obtain resources."
"Perhaps that's the difference between a profession and a hobby," Lu Chen said softly.
"Makes sense."
"We admire your passion and dedication to spirit herbs and beasts, Land Friend Lu," the group marveled.
"Please rest for a while, friends, and we shall meet again once this matter is concluded," True Lord Lei Huo said to Lu Chen and the others.
There were still many things to be done immediately after discovering the presence of the Three Corpse Insects, and the longer they delayed, the worse it would be for the spirit beasts.
One by one, the separated Three Corpse Insects were eradicated by thunderous means, and as a precaution, the awakened high-level spirit beasts were confined in another set of restrictions.
They would be observed for a period before being released, ensuring there were no unforeseen issues.
After taking a look, Lu Chen and his companions, guided by the Tianxing Cave monks, entered the main hall to rest.
