I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 815: Chapter 813: Ten Thousand Year Yin Corpse

“If they really found a treasure item, from what I know about these evil cultivators, they would definitely not be willing to share it with others,”

“Even at the risk, they would try to obtain the treasure by themselves.”

“The cultivators inside the Sky Star Cave are mostly Loose Cultivators who are more desperate for fortuitous treasure items than regular sect monks are; if there’s even a slight chance, they will go all out to fight for it.”

“Perhaps what this evil cultivator said is true, fearing the ancient corpse in the Yin Corpse Forest, but I have no need to gamble on that slight possibility.”

Lu Xuan, hiding within the formation, thought to himself.

With a thought, he transmitted an idea to the Linggu Transformation.

“Fellow Tong, I am at a critical juncture in my cultivation and cannot afford to be distracted to explore the secret land. Please find someone else,”

Linggu spoke slowly with a husky voice.

“Fellow Ling, are you really willing to give up such an opportunity to seize great fortune and treasures?”

“You should know, once such an opportunity is missed, it’s very hard to come by again.”

A hint of surprise appeared on Tong Ying’s face.

“I regard you as destined, trusting in your character and strength, which is why I wanted to invite you to explore that Yin Corpse Forest secret land together.”

“That millennium-old ancient corpse is powerful, with copper skin and iron bone, resistant to ordinary magical treasures, but I’ve already invited several other fellows. Together, we can definitely take down the ancient corpse,”

Tong Ying spoke faster and faster, assuring the safety of this expedition into the secret land.

But Lu Xuan grew more skeptical.

“Fellow Tong, I need to cultivate now. Next time there’s an opportunity, I will seek fortune with you,”

Linggu said somewhat impatiently, his whole body exuding a ‘sending-off’ vibe.

“Alright, then I won’t force you, Fellow Ling.”

“But with your overly cautious nature, no matter how long you cultivate, you won’t have much of a future.”

“Staying in your cave abode, always cultivating, can you obtain high-grade magical treasures? Can you acquire rare divine skills? Can you have elixir talismans to promote your cultivation level, enhance your strength?”

He said indignantly.

Linggu looked at him with a slightly strange expression in his eyes.

As soon as Tong Ying’s figure disappeared and the protective formation was opened, Linggu, returning to his cave abode, finally showed a smile on his face.

“It’s full of loopholes, he definitely wants to harm this transformation of mine,”

Lu Xuan said resolutely.

He currently had just cultivated a Spirit Fruit Transformation, and though losing it would not substantially impact him, he did not want it to be destroyed so easily.

After all, the growth of many weird spiritual plants in the Abyss Star Cave depended on the transformation of Linggu, and he also possessed many treasures, so it was still worth cherishing.

He thought to himself and continued cultivating numerous weird spiritual plants in the Underworld Spirit Field.

Three days later, as he was carefully cultivating spiritual plants, suddenly, his spiritual sense perceived something and he looked up.

A mighty pale escaping light flashed by more than ten miles away from his cave abode.

“A Primordial Infant True Monarch… I wonder if it’s just passing by or something else…”

Lu Xuan stopped his actions, unable to help but think.

But the situation that followed made him less relaxed.

One escaping light after another, flying boats, and spirit beasts shot out from the sixth layer of the Abyss Star Cave, quickly heading toward a specific location in the fifth layer.

“Looking at that direction, could it be the Yin Corpse Forest that Tong Ying mentioned?”

“Could something unexpected have happened there?”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Though extremely curious at heart, he did not contemplate becoming an onlooker up close, focusing solely on cultivating spiritual plants.

Soon, all the news regarding what happened in the Yin Corpse Forest was leaked out.

During a small gathering with several acquaintance cultivators nearby, Linggu learned detailed information from their discussions.

“Have any of you fellow cultivators noticed the recent abnormalities in the Abyss Star Cave?”

An evil cultivator, small like a baby but with an extremely aged expression, mysteriously asked.

“Oh? Fellow Wu Ying, please elaborate.”

A woman in white, emanating an intense icy chill, spoke coldly.

“It is said that a malicious evil thought escaped from the Fengdu Ghost City on the seventh layer.”

“This malicious thought had taken refuge in the Yin Corpse Forest on the fifth layer, occupying the flesh body of an ancient corpse, quietly lying in wait.”

Once the time was ripe, it transformed into a ten-thousand-year-old corpse, possessing the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, causing countless casualties near the Yin Corpse Forest.”

The Sky Star Cave cultivators came out in full force, even prompting the intervention of the Star Master stationed on the sixth layer to barely re-seal that ten-thousand-year-old corpse back into the Ghost City.”

“The Master of the Abyss Star intervened?”

“That really must have been a massive arrangement!”

The crowd discussed animatedly.

Ling Gu, sitting quietly in a corner, listened intently, and when he heard about the Yin Corpse Forest, his expression shifted slightly, asking aloud,

“How did this evil thought that occupied the ancient corpse quickly regain Nascent Soul strength?”

“Good question, Fellow Ling!”

“I heard from a nephew of Lord Star Envoy that it was the ancient corpse that set a trap, luring several Golden Core cultivators into the Yin Corpse Forest and devoured them in one swoop, thereby breaking through its realm,”

Wu Ying True Person whispered.

“It seems that the fate of those fellow cultivators was inescapable given such a massive disaster.”

“We need to be more cautious and vigilant in the future.”

Upon hearing that several cultivators of the same realm had perished, a somber expression appeared on everyone’s face.

After the gathering ended quickly, Ling Gu hurried back to his cave abode to report all the information he had gathered to Lu Xuan.

“So, a Nascent Soul Realm ancient corpse appeared in the Yin Corpse Forest, and it only gained such power after swallowing several Golden Core cultivators?”

Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a smile, tearing the fresh monster meat in his hands into strips, throwing them all to the Big Meaty Ball in front of him.

The Spirit of Flesh’s fur lightly floated up, revealing several hungry, odd mouths underneath.

Before the strips of meat could reach him, they turned into a burst of blood mist, instantly merging into the body of the Big Meaty Ball.

Delighted by the taste, the Big Meaty Ball excitedly jumped up, showing no signs of the aura of a disaster-grade Evil Spirit in front of Lu Xuan.

“The dead Golden Core cultivators were probably the ones who tried to incarnate a few days ago… ”

“It’s just unknown what the current situation is for Tong Ying.”

The abnormality in the Yin Corpse Forest was obviously a trap set by the malicious evil thought.

The treasure-gleaming Tong Ying either didn’t understand the specifics or had secretly made a pact with the ancient corpse to lure in enough high-quality flesh for a substantial nourishment.”

“If he lured for the ancient corpse, he might have left secretly after gaining some benefits and lived incognito. Of course, it’s also possible that the ancient corpse turned on him afterwards and devoured him too.”

“If he simply thought that a treasure had appeared, then it’s just bad luck that he didn’t get the Fortuitous Treasure Item.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but remark.

Of course, either way, it didn’t concern him much.

He could still cultivate Spiritual Plants and gather substantial rewards from the Light Cluster.

The only regret was that he didn’t get to see the battle between the Star Master of the Sky Star Cave and that ten-thousand-year-old corpse.

“However, there are always cultivators who wish me harm.”

“If there’s a chance to explore secret lands in the future, I need to be more cautious to avoid accidentally stepping into traps or being targeted for robbery.”

“Can’t help it, being a Spirit Plant Master really isn’t easy,”

he silently lamented.
