Chapter 982: The Du'e Flower and the Corpse Forest
Chapter 982: The Du'e Flower and the Corpse Forest
After gathering a large pile of pale red spiritual soil, Lu Chen's gaze fell upon the two spirit seeds before him.
One of them was a forest white color, oval-shaped, as if composed of countless thin, arm-like strands, exuding a sinister aura.
A single glance revealed the unique attributes of this evil spirit plant.
Lu Chen placed the forest white spirit seed into the dark spiritual soil and focused his mind on the spirit seed, instantly gaining detailed information about it.
Corpse Forest, Sixth-Rank Spirit Plant, nurtured from the countless bones piled in the Corpse Mountain, requiring the remains of cultivators and beast beasts for nourishment during its growth.
After the spirit seed takes root and sprouts, it has an extremely strong differentiation ability, capable of growing into a vast Corpse Forest. Once mature, it offers immense benefits for cultivators who practice the Corpse Secret Art.
"Indeed, it is an evil spirit plant. However, it is a sixth-rank spirit plant, a very rare variety. Obtaining it in this form is already quite remarkable."
Lu Chen took the forest white spirit seed out of the spiritual soil, silently marveling.
The Corpse Mountain, as he had heard, was an extremely dangerous secret realm within the Feng Yuan Star Cave. Even a Core Formation cultivator entering it would face significant risks.
He carefully examined the rare spirit Seed in his hand, which could grow into a vast Corpse Forest, then found an empty spirit field. He obtained a large amount of beast remains from Ling Gu and buried them under the spirit field.
After planting the Corpse Forest spirit seed, he returned to examine the other spirit seed.
This spirit Seed appeared quite ordinary, not as eye-catching as the Corpse Forest spirit seed, so Lu Chen had not paid much attention to it at first.
"Hmm? There seems to be more to this spirit seed."
His spiritual sense probed the interior of the spirit seed, and he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.
In the rustling sounds, his spiritual sense seemed to arrive on a small boat, drifting through an endless sea of suffering, as if guiding Lu Chen to the other shore.
With a thought, his spiritual sense retreated from the spirit seed's interior. When he looked at the spirit seed again, a profound sense of compassion welled up within him.
Focusing his mind on the spirit seed, a thought flashed through his mind.
Du'e Flower, Seventh-Rank Spirit Plant, with extremely high growth environment requirements, needing to be nurtured in a blessed land with high-grade spiritual spring and spiritual soil.
The matured spirit flower is the primary material for refining the Du'e Dan, a rare Nascent spirit item, which can slightly increase the probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Rare spirit item for Core Formation!"
Lu Chen's heart leapt with joy.
He hadn't expected that Ling Gu would give him such a pleasant surprise over the years.
Although he didn't have to worry about spiritual power, with the help of the light orb, his cultivation could be enhanced to the Core Formation perfection stage, with his divine soul, physical body, and spiritual power all harmoniously complete. However, he lacked the confidence to advance to the Nascent stage.
Currently, he only had one seventh-rank Yin-Yang Spirit Essence Pill to assist in breaking through to the Nascent stage. There were still many high-rank spirit plants, but it was uncertain whether they could provide similar Nascent spirit items.
But this Du'e Flower was different; it was the primary material for refining the Du'e Dan. Once mature, it would offer a significant boost for Nascent cultivation, with the light orb's reward being a Nascent treasure.
"Since there's still some time before I attempt to break through to the Nascent stage, I can use the Divine Green Flask to force its maturity if the Du'e Flower hasn't matured by then."
In the Lei Mars Star Cave, there were three seventh-rank spirit ginseng plants, and the Sword Sect had two. Only needing two more maturation cycles, he could cultivate it in large quantities. Lu Chen estimated that by then, he would experience a rapid growth period in his cultivation, and with the Nascent spirit items he had gathered, he had a good chance at the Nascent stage.
"Very well done, managing to find these rare spirit seeds and spiritual soils for me."
Lu Chen smiled and nodded.
"In the future, you can try to loosen the constraints on your avatar. Once your strength improves, and you have more treasures, you can explore secret realms beyond the Fengyuan Star Cave. You can venture to other places as well."
"Perhaps, it might even be possible to explore a secret realm with your main body and avatar together."
"One is a peaceful and kind spiritual herbologist, while the other is a notorious evil cultivator who has killed countless beings."
"One is cautious and meticulous, while the other is ruthless and merciless. No one would ever imagine that the main body and the avatar are one and the same."
Lu Chen thought of this scene and chuckled inwardly.
"Also, it's time to plant the Fomu Demon Seed."
He came to the center of the Yinjian Spirit Field, first evenly spreading a thick layer of Cha Yin soil. Then, he took out the Fomu Demon Seed that had been stored in the Taochong Pouch for a long time.
The Demon Seed resembled a small stone fetus, with vague features hinting at a bodhisattva, radiating a mix of Buddha and maternal light.
Its abdomen was highly raised, with various terrifying forms emerging, as if it were nurturing some evil entity inside.
The Fomu Demon Seed was extremely special, a high-stage evil demon's seed, derived from the Great Thousand Buddha Mother. After planting, it needed to absorb the blood, flesh, and Soul of the host, eventually giving birth to a Middle-Stage Evil Demon with the power of a Lesser Thousand Buddha Mother. After birth, it would have a thousand threads of connection with the mother body, allowing it to return at any time.
"Growing a Lesser Thousand Buddha Mother would take many years. During this time, my strength might Reach a certain level, so I don't need to worry about a Middle-Stage Evil Demon."
"If unfortunately, the Great Thousand Buddha Mother is drawn in, I will hide directly in the Dongxuan Sword Sect and see if it can penetrate the Nine-Grade Sect-Protecting Great Formation, the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Formation."
"Of course, I estimate that before even entering the vicinity of the Sword Sect, those few Transformation Deity experts from the sect will deal with it."
Lu Chen thought with a relaxed demeanor.
With the Dongxuan Sword Sect as his backing, the Great Thousand Buddha Mother was no longer a concern.
He had his avatar divide some blood and a wisp of divine soul, merging them with the stone fetus.
In his spiritual perception, the stone fetus's abdomen seemed to twitch slightly, then a weak suction force absorbed the blood, flesh, and soul.
"Currently, in the Yinjian Spirit Field, the Seventh-Grade spiritual plants are only the Yellow Spring Immortal Tree and this newly Planted Fomu Demon Seed."
"The newly acquired Tribulation Flower must be placed in that Incomplete Heaven Cave."
"Thus, the High-Grade spiritual plants in the Heaven Cave are not few."
Lu Chen murmured softly.
Just then, a deep and resonant voice sounded from outside the cave, filled with respect.
"Your juniors, Yinshan's Twin Ghosts Sun Kai and Wu Peng, have long admired your great name and come to pay our respects."
Lu Chen's spiritual perception swept over, instantly recognizing the two Foundation Establishment cultivators he had previously inquired.
"They really found me."
A smile spread across his lips.
After learning of their intentions, he had initially planned to have his avatar Linggu directly refuse them. However, after harvesting the two parasitic insect demons from the soul insect fungus cluster, his thoughts changed.
"These two evil cultivators are indeed not as powerful as Wen Qian and Hong Qinghai, but they are well-known and their character has been tested by me."
"If I implant the parasitic insect demons in them, I won't need to overly worry about their loyalty."
"Life and death are in my hands, so keeping them as servants is feasible."
