Chapter 257: Where? Erupting Resentful Spirits 1

Translator: 549690339 —

As Lu Xuan was reflecting, he sensed the high-rank Spirit Seed’s presence as the Demonic Vine followed the scent and climbed over.

He caught sight of the unusual Blood Ball Seed on the ground. The grey vine swung side to side before it climbed up to the Blood Ball Seed under Lu Xuan’s cold gaze.

“I’m just gonna rub on it.”

A thought entered Lu Xuan’s consciousness.

The grey vine clung tightly to the surface of the Blood Ball, which was covered in numerous tiny blood vessels. Within a few breaths, it detached and moved away.

“Too intense for my taste.”

The strong scent of blood overwhelmed the Demonic Vine momentarily. After leaving a mark, it withdrew behind Lu Xuan, indicating its neutrality.

Lu Xuan put the Blood Scourge Flower Spirit Seed into his storage bag, returned to his room, took a Roaring Sea Sword Charm in one hand and a Great Sun Sword Charms in the other, and removed the Wooden Wholehearted Devil from the bag.

The grayish baby, bound by a deep blue Rune Chain, kept its eyes tightly shut and remained motionless.

Lu Xuan loosened the Rune Chain slightly, following the control method taught to him by the female cultivator. Immediately, a fine strip of Qjngmu Origin Energy drifted past the infant’s mouth and nose.

The Wholehearted Devil being a wood-type, was extremely sensitive to the Qingmu Origin Energy from the same source. It opened its eyes instantly. Its grayish eyeballs fixed intently on the Qingmu Origin Energy. The resentful spirits of children swirled intensely in its navel.

“Want to eat? Surrender to me obediently, and I might feed you a bit if I’m in a good mood.”

Lu Xuan smirked, placing two fourth-grade Sword Symbols on the table.

The greyish baby growled at Lu Xuan. Its facial features crunched tightly together to reveal sharp, gray teeth.

The Demonic Vine stayed by Lu Xuan’s feet, looking at the Wooden Wholehearted Devil on the other side. The vine conveyed a mix of craving and disgust.

As the Wholehearted Devil was wood-type, it possessed a rich plant spiritual energy- -a regular food source for the vine. However, its inner spiritual power was entirely corrupted and transformed, causing the Demonic Vine to instinctively want to avoid it. It had no desire even to leave a mark.

Lu Xuan communicated with the sinister infant for a while but achieved no progress. Therefore, he tightened the Rune Chain again and firmly bound the same-heart demon.

After storing it in his bag, he gathered his stuff and planned to visit the small courtyard in Sword Sect Town.

He would plant the Blood Scourge Flower, cultivate the Holy Baby Fruit, inspect the other spiritual plants, and earn some Spirit Stones on the way.

Because of his feud with someone in the Langyue Blessed Land, he was more cautious than usual and sneaked out of the sect alone.

I was probably overthinking. No one’s following me.”

“Several months have passed since the Phoenix Tree was snatched away. If they truly had ill intentions, they wouldn’t have kept watch for several months. They’ll have to find another opportunity.”

In a jungle ten miles from Sword Gate Town, Lu Xuan’s figure quietly emerged ashe whispered to himself.

After he left the Sky Sword Sect, he maximized the Floating Light Body Method falling randomly into a dense jungle. Utilizing earth escape and then deploying ’ the invisibility power of the Hidden Spirit Cloak, he completely hid his figure. After quite some time, he didn’t detect any movement.

Lu Xuan then reassured himself and swiftly entered Sword Gate Town.

Beneath the towering stone sword, on the expansive Qjngshi Square, numerous Qi Cultivators had set up their stalls.

As Lu Xuan passed by, he casually bought a wounded First Grade Demon Beast, planning to take it to the small courtyard for the Underworld Spiritual Plants to feed on.

Upon reaching the small courtyard, Lu Xuan walked around it once without noticing anything unusual.

The Sword Gate Town was close to the Sky Sword Sect, and Sky Sword Sect Cultivators frequently stayed there, making incidents like murders and robberies rare. Also, because the small courtyard was protected by the fourth­grade Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array, Lu Xuan could safely stay within the sect for a long time.

After opening the Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array, Lu Xuan entered the small courtyard.

A strong wave of Yin Qi surges towards him.

“It’s empty. It seems that the Yin Souls I left last time have all been absorbed by the Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms.”

Lu Xuan looked around, the courtyard was quiet, there were no traces of any Yin Souls.

The first thing he saw were the five Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms. The eerie patterns at the top seemed more faded compared to the last time he saw them, slightly drooping, displaying an unhappy expression on their ghostly faces.

It has been a considerable amount of time since he last visited the small courtyard in Sword Gate Town. The Yin Souls he had left behind had ail been absorbed by the Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms, leaving them to maintain their basic growth by absorbing spiritual power.

He hurriedly took out the Yin Soul Beads from his storage bag, releasing more than twenty Yin Soul Resentments from inside.

Under the nourishment of the Yin Qi from the Yin Soul Beads, these Yin Soul Resentments were full and solid, each one worth as much as three to five of the previous ones.

The familiar scent of deliciousness immediately woke up the five Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms. The eerie patterns at the top lit up, luring the Yin Souls over and instantly absorbing them.

After letting the starving Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms fill up, Lu Xuan reached the Thom Bones.

Due to the existence of the large skeleton of the Barbarian Armored Bull and the fourth grade Six-eyed Red Iron Scorpion, the growth of the Thorn Bones has not been affected in any way.

A forest of skeletal spines grew wildly, enveloping the two skeletons. Only one corner of the skeletons could be glimpsed through the gaps in the white bones. Countless tiny bone spikes penetrated deeply into the skeletons, absorbing the nutrients inside them to their heart’s content.

Many slender white bones formed a forest of thorns, reflecting an eerie beauty. With his mind concentrated, Lu Xuan sensed that the Thorn Bones and the Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms were both mature, although the progress bar for the Thorn Bones was slightly slower than that of the Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms.

He approached the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.

On the old and withered bark, dozens of hundreds of grey pupils sensed Lu Xuan’s presence, all of them opened up, and suddenly, a chill extended from Lu Xuan’s foot all the way to his head.

The three pairs of Six-eyed Iron Scorpion Pupils that were left last time were still hanging on the tree trunk, each giant scorpion pupil was being pulled by several small transparent tentacles.

A few tiny, withered eyeballs still hung on some pupils, with all its nutrients being sucked clean. They swayed slightly, like abandoned lanterns on an ancient desert house.

“The Six-eyed Red Iron Scorpion is indeed worthy of the fourth grade. This long passed, both its skeleton and eyes are still playing their part.”

Lu Xuan exclaimed, found a vacant Spirit Field, and carefully planted the Blood Scourge Flower.

Next, he took out the first Grade Demon Beast that he bought along his journey and poured all of its fresh blood over the Blood Scourge Flower Spirit Seed.

Pupils endowed with moist spiritual energy were thrown in front of the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, their strange pupils shot out two transparent tentacles, directly penetrating the slowly spinning Demon Beast Eyeballs.

The Demon Beast’s flesh was buried under the Poison Shuttle Tree the skeleton was thrown into the Thorn Bones, and the soul was easily’absorbed by the Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms.

A lively Demon Beast was divided cleanly.

“Flesh, bones, souls, eyeballs…”

“Sword Gate Town small courtyard, one-stop funeral service.”

“Our specialty is to bring everything in entirely, completely consumed, all in nothing out.”

Lu Xuan smirked, took the Wooden Wholehearted Devil out of the storage bag.

The Purple Lightning Sword was pulled out from the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, the arc of electricity flashed by which made the sheath shake incessantly.

A bolt of lightning split the grayish-green baby.

“Here? An exploding point of Infant Soul?”
