I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

In the dark forest, there are towering ancient trees, and various strange noises are heard from everywhere.

Lu Xuan stood quietly next to a huge spiritual tree about half a foot in diameter, with a small hollow bone ball floating in front of him.

Suddenly, the dense white bone ball instantly changed and turned into a white bone shield. With a bang, it blocked a thick black snake that sneaked up from behind the spirit tree.

Just when the third-grade demonic snake wanted to escape, the bone shield continued to change, turning into a network of bones, entangling the demonic snake, tightening it tighter and tighter until the demonic snake was dying.

“The freshest buffet, eat more.”

Lu Xuan smiled at the pale red meatball at his feet. While the Flesh Spirit God was absorbing the blood mist transformed from the flesh and blood of the demon snake, a strange lantern appeared in his hand.

A pale candle inside the lantern seemed to sense something, causing countless slender tentacle-like lamp spikes below to sway slightly.

Lu Xuan input a bit of spiritual power, and the pale flame on the candle burned even more. The soul of the demon snake that had just died gradually revealed its body, looking like it would disappear at any time in the air.

"Find you a place as a habitat for your ghost spirit. In return, when I need you, you can be the nourishment for my spiritual plant in the underworld. Isn't it too much?"

Lu Xuan said lightly, watching as this fourth-grade soul-inducing lamp magic weapon absorbed the ghost of the demon snake into the lantern, turning it into one of the countless resentful souls densely packed under the candle.

"It's good to act alone. It can absorb the souls of dead monsters and not let them go to waste."

"Although the process is not consistent with the status of a righteous monk, as a spiritual planter, I make full use of every resource to cultivate spiritual plants, so there is nothing wrong with it, right?"

"At least it's not used to refine the poisonous magic weapons or techniques to harm other monks."

Lu Xuan thought shamelessly.

He has been in this area for half a month. During this period, he has hunted and killed many alienated monsters, Xie Sui, and the Flesh Spirit God was completely stretched into a round sphere.

With the Void Nightmare Eyes, he observed the surrounding situation and found that a monk came near him. He restrained his behavior and deliberately avoided it, so he never met other monks.

He was not afraid of being discovered by people such as the Flesh Spirit God, the soul-inducing lamp, the Bone Demon Puppet and other evil beings, so he did not deliberately hide his aura or change his appearance.

After the light red meatballs were full, Lu Xuan continued to patrol the area.

"Huh? That person seems to be a fellow senior fellow student."

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the prominent gray-white eyes in his hand.

Through the vision shared by the Void Nightmare Eye that was constantly wandering high in the sky, he saw the figures of two monks, one of whom was quite familiar to him and had met them once.

Some time ago, many spiritual beasts in the blessed land of Ten Thousand Demon Cave were invaded and polluted by a kind of alien insect called the mind-obsessed snake. Master Cangwu invited Lu Xuan to go and check and met a senior brother named Chen Luo who was good at controlling beasts with perfect Foundation Establishment.

The other person beside him was not seen.

The two looked left and right, as if searching for something.

"Would you like to go up and say hello?"

Lu Xuan hesitated in his heart.

It was rare to see a fellow sect member who was also his senior brother. It would be inappropriate to avoid him deliberately.

But he didn't get along with this senior brother Chen Luo. After solving the problem of the intrusion of the mind-numbing insects, he once asked him for an ancient book on strange insects that he had fabricated, but Lu Xuan politely refused.

"Junior Brother Lu, what a coincidence, I meet you here."

While he was hesitating, Chen Luo's voice sounded in his ears.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lu Xuan, with a hint of joy on his face.

"Senior Brother Chen, it is indeed a coincidence that I can meet you, Senior Brother, in this wilderness."

Lu Xuan looked at the cold-tempered senior brother in front of him with a smile on his lips.

He quietly clenched his fists and covered his gray eyes, but he was secretly alert in his heart.

The monk who was with Chen Luo disappeared!

"I went to Black Star City for business and was about to rush back to Black Demon Abyss. I didn't expect to run into you, junior brother, here."

Chen Luo explained with a smile.

"My cultivation level is average and I dare not enter the Black Demon Abyss. I can only hunt some ordinary monsters here."

"Senior brother, are you going to the Black Demon Abyss alone? I wish I had your strength."

Lu Xuan asked casually.

"Yes, it's a person."

Chen Luo replied simply.

He looked at Lu Xuan, the smile on his gloomy face became stronger, and the conversation changed.

"Junior brother Lu, last time you said that there was an ancient book that recorded information about various strange insects and beasts. Can you give me a look?"

He slowly walked towards Lu Xuan.

"I remember telling you, senior brother, that I borrowed that ancient book from a fellow Taoist and returned it to him many years ago."

"Please don't force me, senior brother."

Lu Xuan looked calm and replied calmly.

"With the strength of your soul, junior brother, it shouldn't be a problem to write it down silently, even if it's been many years, right?"

"Otherwise, searching for souls is no joke."

Chen Luo looked at Lu Xuan coldly with a sinister expression, and slowly drew out a dark long sword.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by this? Don't you know how serious a crime it is to harm a fellow disciple?"

Lu Xuan said solemnly.

"As long as no one in the sect sees it, who will think it's me?"

"It seems that senior brother is well prepared."

The thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind. During the last gathering of his classmates, a junior brother told him that someone was inquiring about him, and it must be the person in front of him.

"Junior brother, don't think about delaying time. I have spies here everywhere. Junior brother, your cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building will not be my opponent."

"Tell me the contents of that ancient book honestly, and I can give you a decent ending. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will suffer the pain of searching for your soul. That feeling is not pleasant."

Chen Luo was full of confidence.

Last time when there was a problem with spiritual beasts, Lu Xuan easily discovered the fascinating snake and proposed a solution, which made him obsessed with strange insects and beasts suddenly develop a strong possessive desire, and he wanted to get the ancient books that Lu Xuan talked about.

After being politely rejected by Lu Xuan, he had the idea of ​​​​killing people to seize the treasure. After investigating Lu Xuan's cultivation strength, this idea became even more powerful.

According to his understanding, Lu Xuan only cultivated in the middle stage of foundation building. He stayed in the sect for a long time and rarely explored secret realms and sought opportunities. Even his cultivation mainly relied on pills. The only thing worthy of praise was his superb skills. Spiritual plantation level.

But how powerful can a spiritual planter be?

With this idea in mind, when Lu Xuan left the sect, he deliberately inquired about the relevant information. When he learned that Lu Xuan was coming to Black Star City, he followed him.

In his mind, obtaining that ancient book was already a sure thing, it just depended on which method he used to obtain it.

"Why……"

Lu Xuan sighed.

"To kill a fellow sect member for a treasure, and even to use sinister magic like the Soul Searching Technique, Senior Brother Chen, this is not what a righteous monk would do."

He shook his head and looked at the gloomy monk with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

I'm in a bad state today. I only have one update. It doesn't count as asking for leave. I'll make it up tomorrow.
