Chapter 395: Chapter 393: The Corpse of the Green Ancient Beast 1
Lu Xuan swept all of the Underworld Mud Flesh not just for experimentation, but more importantly, for cultivating existing and future eligible spiritual plants.
In the small courtyard at Sword Gate Town, the blood and flesh of fresh demonic beasts is needed for the growth process of the Fifth-Rank Strange Longevity Peach. If cultivated in the Spirit Soil of Underworld Mud Flesh, it will probably be greatly beneficial.
Furthermore, he may acquire meat-type Weird Spiritual Plants later, so it’s better to be prepared with more to bring back.
According to the mutant situation of spiritual plants in the Blessed Land, Lu Xuan even considers using Underworld Mud Flesh to actively stimulate the spiritual plants and obtain mutant varieties.
After scraping a large piece of Underworld Mud Flesh clean, Lu Xuan returned to his fellow cultivators to explore the mysterious dark red passage together.
The passage spreads in all directions with a complex and changing terrain. Due to its recently opened state, Spirit Ores and Spiritual Plants are discovered from time to time.
Lu Xuan is already satisfied with acquiring the Underworld Mud Flesh and does not compete for the front nor fight with his companions. From the outside, he looks utterly detached from the world.
In the deepest part of the cave,
There’s a huge cavern with a radius of hundreds of feet.
In the middle of it, a giant demon beast corpse lays quietly.
The corpse is a Green Ancient Beast, standing at a staggering ten feet high. It has a single leg, and occasional signs of thunder sounds emanating from it with flashes of spiritual light sweeping across, as dazzling as sunlight or moonlight.
From the large and small crevices of the cave, blood-red chains as thick as wrists are scattered that firmly pin the giant corpse to the ground. Numerous rune patterns are carved on the chains – densely packed, profound and obscure.
Perhaps due to the constraints of the formation, the flesh and blood of the giant ox corpse are well preserved, as though newly deceased.
Gu Jiankong, a Golden Core Real People from the Sky Sword Sect who Lu Xuan had encountered in the camp, is currently floating above the Green Ancient Beast, surveying the corpse seriously, surrounded by swirling Sword Qi.
Apart from him, there are five cultivators. They all behave extraordinarily, they are the Golden Core cultivators sent by the tripartite alliance.
“Fellow Daoist Cui, your Ten Thousand Beast Gate has the deepest understanding of various exotic beasts. Can you recognize what kind of Demon Beast this is?”
A thin old man, hands folded behind his back, asked a robust cultivator.
The old man was dressed in a green robe, and a transparent charm rune was faintly visible at the back of his head. The rune displayed mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, ever-changing.
The Cui whom he addressed bore similar physique compared to two normal cultivators. On his left shoulder was an exotic six-eyed beast, showing a degree of curiosity and fear while staring at the giant ox corpse below.
“It should be an Ancient Exotic Beast, the Green Ancient Beast. Adult demonic beasts have strength equivalent to a Nascent Soul, naturally controlling various Thunder Methods,” the robust cultivator said in a deep voice.
A Seventh Grade Demonic Beast’s corpse… it is suprising to find such a treasure hidden beneath the cave.”
An elegant and charming female cultivator lamented.
This time, none of the three sects could monopolize the opening of the new Blessed Land. After negotiation, they decided to explore it together and share the resources.
Each of them sent two Golden Core Real People along with several powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivators into the Blessed Land.
After a lot of twists and turns, finally, they managed to break the final prohibitions at the center of the Blessed Land and reached the Seventh Rank Green Ancient Beast’s corpse.
” I wonder who sealed the corpse of a Green Ancient Beast here? Were those mutant spiritual plants in the Blessed Land affected by this Seventh Grade Demon Beast?” The slim old man pondered.
“Let’s leave those matters aside for now. The Seventh Grade Demon Beast is a rare find for all of us present. Why not join together to break this rune chain, divide the Demon Beast’s corpse afterwards?” Gu Jiankong suggested coldly. Lingxiao Sect has no objection.
“Neither do we.”
The four Golden Core Real People from both sects spoke in turn.
The corpse of the Seventh Grade demonic beast was within sight, but each sect had two Golden Core Cultivators. They were unsure who could manage against four opponents, and even if they allied with another sect, they were not entirely confident that they could ultimately seize the carcass.
Considering their reputations, the Golden Core Real People of the three sects formed a delicate balance and decided to distribute the corpse of the ancient beast evenly amongst themselves.
About an hour later, the six people teamed up and broke the rune chain sealing the carcass. After a significant amount of verbal sparring, each person procured the necessary parts.
After confirming there were no other high-grade treasures, the Golden Core Real People from the three sects decided to summon the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from their sect to search thoroughly every corner of the cave.
A moment later, the Sky Sword Sect cultivator, followed by the three authentic successors and the Fire Scale Child, arrived in the massive cave.
“Master Gu! Teacher Uncle He!”
Everyone greeted the two Golden Pellet Elder Uncles simultaneously.
Gu Jian Kong and another man assigned tasks, allowing Lu Xuan and the others to explore the underground maze independently.
Knowing that most of the dangers had been resolved by them, Lu Xuan felt a lot more secure, and his mind suddenly sprang to life.
He glanced at Gu Jian Kong not far away, wondering if he should return the jade sword rune to him.
While studying the mutant spiritual plant in the camp, he encountered an attack from a demon beast puppet. However, Lu Xuan effortlessly resolved the situation with his strength, making the small sword talisman left by Gu Jian Kong unnecessary.
“Disciple Lu, you can keep the communication talisman. It will still work after exiting the Blessed Land.”
Suddenly, Gu Jian Kong’s mosquito-like voice rang in Lu Xuan’s ear.
Lu Xuan was overjoyed and looked around. Indeed, Gu Jian Kong was slightly nodding at him.
“Hehe, a one-time use of the elder’s power!”
With the promise from a Golden Core Real Person, Lu Xuan naturally didn’t hold back and happily placed the talisman into his storage bag.
He casually chose a dark red passage, discreetly released the Demonic Vine to let it sense the surroundings, and see if it could find a few more spiritual seeds.
In the eyes of other cultivators, the spiritual seeds, which are of relatively low value, hold an exceptionally high position for Lu Xuan, far surpassing cultivation resources like magical tools and elixirs.
Halfway through, Lu Xuan suddenly noticed a weird signal from the Demonic Vine next to him.
The gray vine hesitated, advancing two steps, then shrank back, wandering uncertainly.
Lu Xuan’s consciousness fixated on the vine, sensing both extreme fear and an intense desire mixed up in the simple spiritual intelligence of the Demonic Vine. The two opposing emotions alternatively appeared.
“Did it find something valuable? But there could be a lot of risks involved?”
Lu Xuan thought to himself, puzzled.
Since finding the Demon Vine in the blessed land, even when discovering the sixth-rank Phoenix Wood, the reaction of the Demon Vine was much subtler than it was now.
“Don’t be afraid, lead me to it. I’ll take responsibility if anything unexpected pops up.”
“If we find a nice treasure, I will let you freely spawn spiritual fruits in the future.”
Lu Xuan took out the jade sword rune that he had recently put into his bag and tried to soothe the Demonic Vine.
Perceiving his intentions, the gray vine settled a bit. The intense desire beat the fear. It led Lu Xuan through the complex passages, finally stopping in front of a piece of dark red stone.
The dark red surface of the stone was very profound, and one would likely overlook it if not careful.
Lu Xuan swept his spiritual power over it, but he didn’t find any abnormalities with the dark red stone.
