Chapter 980: Parasitic Demon Worms - The Book of a Hundred Demon Fishing
"Ah... this... a Sacred Body of innate feminine energy..."
After learning the detailed information about the fresh corpse before him, Lucas (formerly Lu Xuan) couldn't help but be taken aback. He sighed, "Don't think about it too much for now. Hand it over to Lincoln (formerly Linggu), and let him have some time to comprehend the Yin-Yang Union Secret Technique hidden within."
"Now, I usually go to explore secret realms, spar with cultivators and beasts, and attach myself to the immortal transformation of the Maiden of Eternity's remains. This can temporarily grant me the strength of a Nascent Origin True Lord, greatly enhancing my ability to protect myself."
"However, it can only be used in critical moments. After all, the origin of the Maiden of Eternity's remains is unclear. If it were to fall into the hands of the so-called Union Sect’s divine realm, it would be hard to explain."
Lucas thought to himself, "I can't just say where I got this skin from..."
After putting away the Maiden of Eternity's remains, he continued to inspect the strange spirit plants in his spirit fields.
"The soul worm fungi have also matured."
The three soul worm fungi he had initially obtained along with the fragrant branches had all matured. The matured spirit plants had a bizarre and ominous appearance, their bodies pitch-black, and they looked quite similar to the insect herbs in his memory, though much more sinister and strange.
He carefully picked the three soul worm fungi.
His mind focused on the plants.
[Soul Worm Fungi, a Fifth-Rank Spirit Plant, cultivated using demon and monster flesh. When matured, it has an irresistible attraction to various demons and monsters, capable of luring them within a certain range. It is typically used by Nascent Origin True Lords to create special fish bait, which can be used to fish for demons in the void.]
"At least, I used restraints to protect these soul worm fungi during their cultivation, and warned my avatar to be cautious of the Thousand-Hand Demon. Otherwise, they might have been stolen and eaten by the demons."
Lucas muttered to himself.
"I wonder what treasures I can fish from the Thousand Treasure True River using this soul worm fungi as bait."
He felt a surge of interest and let his imagination run wild.
Then, his gaze was drawn to three white light orbs that had quietly appeared.
He gently touched one of the orbs.
The orb silently shattered, transforming into a myriad of tiny light points that rose into the sky, instantly coalescing into a thin, long River of Light that entered Lucas's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested one Fifth-Rank soul worm fungi, obtained a Sixth-Rank parasitic Demon Worm.]
The thought vanished, and a strange treasure appeared before Lucas.
The treasure was about the size of an infant's head, with a sinister and multi-limbed form. It had transparent tentacles that seemed to be searching for something in the air.
Lucas focused his mind on the strange treasure and instantly understood its detailed information.
[Parasitic Demon Worm, a Sixth-Rank treasure, crafted from the remains of a demon adept at parasitism. After refinement, it can be silently planted within a living spirit's body. Once parasitized, it gradually influences the spirit's soul, taking over its flesh, thus enabling control over its every movement.]
"A Sixth-Rank treasure, capable of parasitizing a living spirit and gradually controlling it. Indeed, it is a dark path item."
He carefully stored the treasure and then gently touched the second white light orb.
[Harvested one Fifth-Rank soul worm fungi, obtained a Sixth-Rank Parasitic Demon Worm.]
"Another Parasitic Demon Worm, but getting a Sixth-Rank treasure is already quite good."
Lucas sighed inwardly and looked at the last white light orb.
He gently touched the surface of the orb. The orb silently shattered, countless tiny light points exploded like fireworks, surging upward and condensing into a thin, long River of Light that entered Lucas's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested one Fifth-Rank soul worm fungi, obtained the treasure, The Book of a Hundred Demon Fishing.]
A thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind, and a dark, mysterious book appeared before him. The cover of the book featured a sleek, pitch-black fishing rod, with a fishing line below it. At the end of the line, numerous varied demons squirmed, each with its mouth wide open, eager to bite the hook.
"Fishing Sage's Manual?"
Lu Xuan muttered instinctively.
He gently opened the dark book, and as soon as he flipped to the first page, vivid scenes unfolded in the depths of his consciousness. Preparing bait, locating spots frequented by demons, patiently waiting, and then slowly reeling them in after a fierce struggle...
In an instant, he felt as if he had experienced the thrill of reeling in a ferocious demon.
Page two, page three...
As he slowly turned the pages, the forms and types of demons on each page varied greatly.
His mind focused on the dark book, and he instantly grasped its detailed information.
["The Manual of a Hundred Demonic Catches," a special treasure, meticulously recorded by a grand master obsessed with the art of fishing. It details how to fish for over a hundred types of demons.]
"Indeed, this is the destined book of a Fishing Sage!"
Lu Xuan closed the dark book, sighing with a sense of awe.
"Unfortunately, to fish for demons, one needs the strength of a True Lord of the Nascent Soul Realm, which is hard to achieve. After all, if one accidentally reels in a mid- or high-rank demon, it would be like using oneself as bait."
"But for a Fishing Sage, these are not significant."
"More terrifying than fishing in a powerful demon is..."
"The Air Force."
Lu Xuan savored the pages of the Manual of A Hundred Demonic Catches, as if he were truly experiencing the thrill of reeling in a rare demon.
After a while, he reluctantly put the dark book back into the Taurus Pouch.
"Three Fifth-Rank Soul Worm Fungi, two Parasitic Worms after cultivation, and the Manual of A Hundred Demonic Catches."
"I wonder if this Manual of A Hundred Demonic Catches comes with corresponding experience. If it does, I must gather more Soul Worm Fungi to advance My Fishing Skills."
Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
His mind delved into the depths of his consciousness, the connection to his avatar Ling Gu growing stronger, indicating he was likely on his way back to the cave.
With nothing to do, he decided to check the other mystical plants in his Spirit Field.
Apart from the Soul Worm Fungi and the Crimson Corpse Skin, which were already fully matured, the other mystical Plants hadn't yet reached the stage of yielding their rewards.
However, the Sixth-Rank Fragrant Meat Branch, planted at the same time as the Soul Worm Fungi, was already in its late Growth Stage. It wouldn't be long before it fully matured.
The plant resembled a pristine white arm, starkly contrasting with the dark, blood-red soil beneath it.
The Fragrant Meat Branch exuded a rich, meaty aroma, making Lu Xuan unable to resist the urge to devour it.
"Fed with the blood and flesh of high-rank cultivators, demons, and ghostly creatures, it's no wonder this Evil Buddha's Blood Meat Branch grows so quickly."
In the depths of the Fuyuan Star Cave, the avatar Ling Gu had no idea how many high-rank evil cultivators, ghostly creatures, and demons he had slain. The blood and flesh at the base of the Fragrant Meat Branch offered a glimpse of their essence.
"The Fragrant Meat Branch can extend one's life span and strengthen the body. But if one eats too much, there's the risk of being targeted by the Evil Buddha."
"For me, however, there's no need to worry so much. My life span is already plentiful, and Sixth-Rank treasures can hardly strengthen my body further."
"For those truly short on life span, just being alive is already a blessing. Why bother worrying about being targeted by the Evil Buddha?"
