Chapter 889: The Demon's Haven
Chapter 889: The Demon's Haven
After resolving the spiritual beast anomaly, Lu Chen did not linger in the Vustuxing Cave and bade farewell to Lei Huo Zhenren and the others.
Upon returning to the Lei Huo Cave, he activated the array and entered the cave mansion only after confirming that nothing was amiss.
"I didn't expect to gain so much from this trip to Vustuxing Cave."
With a thought, Lu Chen produced the Lei Jiyang Liquid and the Genkun Vustu, two top-grade treasures, before him.
"These two treasures are extremely rare and precious, which is why they were collected by two Yuan Ying True Lords," he commented.
"The main thing is that there's just so much of it."
There was over a hundred pounds of Genkun Vustu, and a large clump of Lei Jiyang Liquid, enough to last the spiritual beasts and plants in the cave mansion for a long time.
"I won't have to go harvest Lei Liquid from the Lei Kuang Beast's territory for a few years," Lu Chen mused.
Then, he swept his spiritual sense through the entire cave mansion.
Lei Long Kuang was playing with Qing Yue Lin, teaching the mischievous Thousand-Handed Demon a lesson.
The little demon loved to stir up trouble and was always asking for a beating. Even after being beaten dozens or even hundreds of times, he still didn't learn his lesson and continued to wreak havoc everywhere.
At the back of the cave mansion, Lei Gui Gong was lying by the artificial thunder pool where two Yimu Qinglaiteng were planted, occasionally patting the fleshy tumor on his waist that resembled a big drum, looking utterly content.
"This Lei Gui Gong has completely settled into retirement mode," Lu Chen chuckled, summoning the two thunder-attributed spiritual beasts to him.
Two streaks of silver-white light flashed like lightning, and Lei Long Kuang and Lei Gui Gong curiously looked at Lu Chen.
"Come, come, come! I've brought back something delicious for you to drink your fill!" Lu Chen laughed as he took out the Lei Jiyang Liquid from his storage bag. He separated two lumps of the liquid, each the size of a fist, with his spiritual sense, and let them float in front of Lei Gui Gong and Lei Long Kuang.
The lumps of liquid were white and misty, with countless fine thunder arcs almost overflowing from within.
Sensing the pure thunder-attributed spiritual energy within, the two spiritual beasts showed excited expressions and eagerly swallowed the liquid.
Soon, Lei Long Kuang's body was radiating silver-white light, and arcs of lightning jumped across the silver-white horn on his head, emitting a constant sizzling sound.
Lei Gui Gong's mouth curved upward, and streaks of thunder landed on the drum-like tumor on his waist, causing peals of thunder to echo.
"Well, it's not easy to provide for a family!"
"There are just too many mouths to feed in this family," Lu Chen sighed.
After a while, the two spiritual beasts finally digested most of the Lei Jiyang Liquid.
Lei Long Kuang kept smacking his lips, his silver-white pupils blinking at Lu Chen as if asking for more.
Lei Gui Gong, on the other hand, tilted his head, looking puzzled.
The Lei Jiyang Liquid had indeed provided him with great nourishment, but why did he feel faint traces of the aura of many beasts within it?
Lu Chen, who shared a mental connection with him, coughed lightly. "Ahem, this spiritual liquid is hard to come by and extremely rare. I don't have a lot of it myself."
"I'll let you have a good taste of it again after some time," he promised.
Then, he flew into the spirit herb fields to check on the condition of each spirit herb.
Along the way, he also watered the two Yimu Qinglaiteng and a large number of Lei Bao Lian with some Lei Jiyang Liquid.
At the same time, he took out a small portion of Genkun Vustu and sprinkled it evenly in the core spirit herb field.
Seventh-grade spirit herbs had higher requirements for spirit soil, and Genkun Vustu could slightly increase their growth rate.
As for the lower-grade spirit herbs planted outside, ordinary spirit soil was sufficient, and it would be a waste to cultivate them with Genkun Vustu.
He inspected each spirit herb, sensing their subtle needs and fulfilling them meticulously.
"Hmm? The Kongqian Wood is about to molt for the second time?"
As he reached the core spirit herb field, Lu Chen noticed distinct changes in the seventh-grade Kongqian Wood.
Just then, his spiritual sense detected a transparent presence quietly emerging from the cracks.
The old bark shattered into pieces, falling to the ground and kicking up countless specks of faint spiritual light that dissipated into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
"All things return to nothingness," Lu Chen thought, a fleeting notion crossing his mind.
"Thankfully there's the light sphere reward," he muttered, his mood improving as he noticed a white light sphere appearing next to the Kongqian Wood.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light sphere. In an instant, it shattered silently, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that soared into the sky.
The specks of light swiftly condensed into a spiritual cicada shadow, which immediately vanished into Lu Chen's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
The Kongqian Wood molted and evolved into a second-grade spirit plant. Reward: Third-grade magical artifact, the Illusion Mist Veil.
As the thought vanished, a strange garment appeared before Lu Chen.
He couldn't quite discern the material of the gossamer robe; it was extremely thin and light, almost ethereal in his hands. The flowing spiritual light made it seem like a wisp of mist, giving it a dreamlike quality.
Lu Chen focused his mind on the Silk Robe artifact, immediately understanding its properties.
Illusion Mist Cloak, a third-grade magical artifact with decent concealment abilities. When worn, it can obscure a cultivator's body and aura to a certain extent.
"A third-grade artifact..." Lu Chen murmured, "Not bad for its level."
However, he wasn't overly hopeful about the reward for the Kongqian Wood's evolution into a second-grade spirit plant.
"I hope that as it continues to grow and reach higher grades, it will yield treasures with powerful concealment abilities," he thought.
While the fifth-grade Clear Wing Feather Robe was impressive, it fell short against Yuan Ying True Lords. With a little attention, they could discern his cultivation level.
If they probed further, they might even uncover the treasures he possessed.
Therefore, Lu Chen yearned for more potent concealment abilities in the form of supreme abilities, treasures, and more.
After acquiring the third-grade artifact, Lu Chen's heart returned to its usual calm. His spiritual sense swept over to the mischievous Thousand-Handed Demon, who was being disciplined yet again for its unruly behavior.
"There are too many spiritual beasts in the Lei Huo Cave, and this little troublemaker refuses to learn its lesson," he muttered. "Time and again, it provokes the plump birds and the others. I'll have to send it back to the Fengyuan Star Cave."
"There are countless sinister beasts and ghosts there, and it can freely expend its abundant energy. It's a perfect place for its belligerent nature."
"Moreover, the Meat Spirit God, a calamity-grade evil presence, resides there. The Great Meatball loves to devour flesh and blood, naturally suppressing this little Thousand-Handed Demon."
Lu Chen muttered to himself, planning out the mischievous creature's future.
"From now on, this little demon is under the care of the Great Meatball. If it doesn't learn its lesson, it has only itself to blame."
Lu Chen decided to leave the Thousand-Handed Demon in the Fengyuan Star Cave, entrusting its discipline to the Meat Spirit God.
A strange smile played on his face as he gazed toward the distant demon, who was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Lei Long Kuang. Sensing his master's gaze, the demon shuddered involuntarily, as if angry at its own reaction. It let out a furious roar and charged at Lei Long Kuang, brandishing its numerous arms.
