You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 743: Devouring Shadow Ghost, 《Ghost-Rearing Technique》

“Visiting the Abyss Star Cave has proven to be quite rewarding,” he said.

Lu Xuan held the bone handle of the Soul Lantern, gazing at the ghastly white candle encased within the human skin lampshade. On the candle, densely packed Yin Souls squeezed together, leaving no space unused.

The collected Yin Souls ranged from the high-quality souls of a Fifth Grade Golden Core True Person to numerous low-rank ghost creatures collected from the abyssal black fog. Though there was a smaller quantity of flesh and blood, it was of high quality, a small amount equivalent to several dozen pounds of common Demon Beast Meat.

As for essence blood, by acquiring the Blood Spring Clam Mother, a self-blood-producing demon, the issue of insufficient blood sources was completely resolved.

“Now it’s time to deal with you, little ghost,” he said.

Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and drew in the greenish-black little ghost that had quietly followed him.

Even though it was tightly bound by a net of pure Qi, its fierceness was evident as it bared its teeth and snarled at Lu Xuan, ready to attack.

Its body flickered between solidity and insubstantiality. If not for the “Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method” naturally restraining such ghost creatures, it might have escaped the constraints of the net and vanished into the void.

“This little ghost lacks many things, but it certainly excels in tracking.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but remark. After noticing someone spying on him at the Ghost Market, he had remained vigilant.

After leaving, he ceaselessly used the “Breaking Illusion Eye Technique,” which finally allowed him to locate this greenish-black ghost that seemed to have merged with his own shadow.

With a thought, a stream of Yin Qi drifted toward the ghost’s dark lips.

The greenish-black ghost, possessing considerable Spiritual Intelligence, suspected a trick and turned its head away.

“Eat!”

Lu Xuan commanded sharply. The net of pure Qi rapidly constricted, causing strands of black smoke to pour from the body of the greenish-black ghost as if it was about to be purified directly by the net.

The Yin Qi was offered again to its dark lips.

This time, the greenish-black ghost obediently swallowed the Yin Qi.

Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the body of the little ghost, and he immediately learned detailed information about it.

Lu Xuan approached the Eightfold Palace, which had entered the growth stage. Compared to when he left the Cave Abode, there was no discernable change.

He cast the Spirit Rain Technique to thoroughly nourish this seventh-grade Spirit Plant before taking out the massive Wind Aperture Stone from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

The numerous pores of the Wind Aperture Stone produced various sounds of flowing or rapidly whooshing wind, sending out strange wind gusts that enveloped the Eightfold Palace Spirit Plant.

Within Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense, the flow rate of Strange Wind inside the first level of the palace increased slightly, and the Spirit Plant radiated a burgeoning force striving upwards.

“A fifth-grade Wind Aperture Stone of such massive size should roughly suffice in cultivating the first level to success,” he observed.

Looking at the first level Spirit Flower surrounded by the eerie phenomena of strange winds, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel moved.

A seventh-grade E-Mu Green Thunder Vine, even only cultivated to the first stage, could yield the first layer of the ‘Divine Cloud True Law.’ This Eightfold Palace of the same grade, with eight Spirit Flowers on equal terms, should provide a Light Cluster reward for the first flower that is only stronger, not weaker.

After cultivating the other High Rank Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field, he moved to the Underworld Spirit Field Area.

“First, I need to establish a dwelling for the Blood Spring Clam Mother.”

Requiring a sea of blood environment and nourishment from Essence Blood to grow, the creature was a Demon Essence, making it inapposite to place it in the small lake where Spirit Beasts like the Fire Separation Flood Dragon grew.

Lu Xuan found an empty space in the corner of the Underworld Spirit Field, cast the Earth Pulling Technique, and quickly formed a small pond about two Zhang wide in length and width.

He then took out dozens of white jade small bottles; the bottles contained Essence Blood originally drawn for Flood Dragons. Given the vast quantity and lower quality, the Spirit of Flesh no longer consumed such Essence Blood, but it was quite suitable for nourishing the juvenile-phase Blood Spring Clam Mother.

Afterward, he filled the small pond with Spiritual Spring Water; the Water Dragon Essence Blood dissolved within, turning the entire pool blood-red and emitting a thick scent of blood.

Lu Xuan took out the Blood Spring Clam Mother, unfastened the Rune Chains, established a contract, and placed it into the pond.

This juvenile Demon Essence had always been kept within that white jade basin, hindered in movement and subject to harsh growth conditions. Initially unaccustomed to the small pond with the pure Blood of Dragon, it took a while to exhibit some signs of vitality, continuously releasing jets of blood.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan felt satisfied in his heart.

After planting three Soul Insect Fungi in the vacant Spirit Field, he planted the sixth-grade Fragrant Flesh Branch within the Underworld Mud Flesh.

Next, he approached the Ghost Eating Evil Vine, took out a fifth-grade Devouring Shadow Ghost, directly snatched a parcel from the ghost’s body, and stuffed it into the Ghost Eating Evil Vine.
