Chapter 462
Farming is not easy, and forbidden lands are places for showcasing skills.
In the days that followed, Lu Xuan would occasionally visit the forbidden lands to learn from a bald cultivator how to quickly and harmlessly dispose of various demonic beasts.
After processing them, he took the opportunity to dispose of the demonic beast scraps to collect them all into his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
Out of caution, every time he went to the forbidden lands, he would first visit the old dragon turtle to have it divine his fortune, ensuring there were no problems before entering the forbidden lands.
One day, Lu Xuan, carrying a full bag of processed demonic beast scraps, arrived in front of the abyss.
The Spirit-Nurturing Scroll in his mind faintly lit up, and his spiritual consciousness rapidly extended outwards.
After confirming that no being was watching him, he willed a sinister lantern to appear in his hand.
The ghastly white lantern shade seemed to be made from human skin, and the handle resembled a long, thin bone, holding it brought a chilling sensation. Beneath the lantern, numerous dark red tassels swayed gently without any wind.
On the ghastly white candle within, numerous resentful spirits with faces screamed silently, tightly packed together. Among them, a few faces bore a vague resemblance to people he knew.
This lantern, emerging from a ghost-faced stone mushroom's luminous orb, was a Soul-Inducing Lamp, capable of attracting resentful spirits and yin souls within a certain range, storing them inside the candle.
"With so many demonic and ferocious beasts, as well as those sinister demonic beasts dying here, there should be quite a few lingering yin souls."
As Lu Xuan's spiritual power surged into the Soul-Inducing Lamp, the numerous dark red tassels beneath the lantern danced wildly, and a pale light ignited on the ghastly white candle.
Within a few breaths, streams of demonic beast yin souls flew out from all directions of the passage, frantically rushing into the candle.
In an instant, the entire candle was filled, and the yin souls of several Foundation Establishment cultivators absorbed in the boundless sea's secret realm screamed in agony, continuously biting at the demonic beast yin souls pressing down on them.
"It's full, can't absorb any more."
Seeing that there was truly no space left on the ghastly white candle, Lu Xuan reluctantly put away the Soul-Inducing Lamp.
"The yin souls and resentments needed for the early growth of the Weeping Ghost Wood are ready."
"Purifying the environment of the forbidden land is a righteous duty of a cultivator of the heavenly sword."
Lu Xuan said righteously, finding a perfect excuse for himself.
After clearing the nearby demonic beast yin souls, he returned to the hall where the bald cultivator was.
"Junior Brother Lu, a special demonic beast will be delivered here shortly. If you're interested, you might want to stay a bit longer."Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
The bald cultivator, while attending to his tasks, said to Lu Xuan.
"Alright, Blood Brother."
"When experimenting on them, attempts are made to transplant and sew together different parts of their bodies to see if their spiritual power and fleshly strength repel each other. This often has a very high mortality rate."
Although the bald cultivator appeared to be drenched in blood, he was very amiable and patiently explained to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded in understanding.
"Are the demonic beast experiments in the forbidden land all completed by the spiritual beast predecessor just now?"
"That's right. The predecessor is a well-known Qingqiu fox demon from the fox clan, who was saved by a Nascent Soul ancestor of our sect many years ago and brought back to the sect."
(Translator Note: Qingqiu, a legendary place often associated with fox spirits in Chinese mythology. These fox spirits are known for their magical powers, ability to transform into beautiful women, and their wisdom. The Qingqiu Fox Demon is a common character in Chinese folklore and is often depicted with both positive and negative traits, ranging from being benevolent and wise to cunning and deceptive.)
"The demonic beasts, ferocious beasts, etc., in the forbidden land all have the freedom to dispose of them."
The bald cultivator answered.
"Wouldn't those experiments on ferocious and sinister beasts somewhat contradict our sect's precepts?"
"After all, we are a reputable sect, and conducting such inhumane experiments in secret, if leaked, could damage the sect's reputation?"
Lu Xuan expressed his concerns.
"These are just some ferocious and sinister beasts. It's their fortune to be able to contribute a little to the sect before dying."
The bald cultivator sneered, his words clearly showing a deviation from the norm.
"With such words, it's no wonder you've been confined in the forbidden land for over a hundred years."
Lu Xuan secretly criticized in his heart.
"However, Junior Brother is not talented, and happens to be the same kind of person as you."
He added.
Although he was kind to others, did not actively harm others, and strictly followed the sect's rules, he had a very flexible moral bottom line.
He harbored no odd thoughts towards various sinister spiritual plants and even Flesh Spirit Gods that ordinary righteous cultivators would avoid.
No matter what kind of spiritual plant it was, as long as it could produce a luminous orb, it was a good spiritual plant.
As long as nothing harmful to heaven and earth was done during the cultivation process, that was enough.
The demonic beast experiments in the forbidden land opened up new avenues of thought for him.
