Chapter 621: Two-Faced Saint Infant
Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the Seven Colored Stele in his hand, and immediately, detailed information about the stele appeared in his mind.
[Red Dust Stele, Fifth Rank treasure, condensed from the essence of countless worldly scents, allows “Cultivators” to enter with their minds to temper their will, strengthen their Spiritual Sense, and resist attacks from Evil Demons, making it a superior item for breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage.]
[The billowing Red Dust not only soothes the heart but strengthens it.]
"A treasure that enhances the chances of advancing to the Core Formation!”
After understanding the specific effects of the Red Dust Stele, Lu Xuan felt immensely joyful.
When breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage, it was necessary for a “Cultivator”‘s Spiritual Power, flesh body, Divine Soul, Spiritual Sense, and will to be perfectly flawless—the more harmonious they were, the higher the likelihood of a successful breakthrough.
An unstable will might attract attacks from Evil Demons, and even generate a Heart Demon within the “Cultivator,” leading to failure in advancement and, in serious cases, life-threatening dangers.
However, this Red Dust Stele could temper the will, greatly compensating for Lu Xuan’s biggest flaw and helping him resist the invasion of Evil Demons during his advancement, making it a rare support item for breaking through to the Core Formation.
In Lu Xuan’s view, it was far more precious than the Saint Baby Pill he had obtained earlier.
"While there is still some time before my Core Formation, I can enter the Red Dust Stele in the future to temper my will,” Lu Xuan thought to himself as he stored the Seven Colored Stele into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
As the Sea Tower Branch Trade Association Auction approached, Lu Xuan was not anxious at all; his days passed calmly.
Every day was spent with Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts. In his free time, he would practice his Cultivation Technique, concoct Elixir, and temper his will.
As time went by, another Underworld Spiritual Plant fully matured.
Lu Xuan stood in front of a Holy Baby Fruit Plant, extending his Spiritual Sense into the fruit in front of him, vaguely making out a mass of dark green chaos inside, seemingly nurturing something.
Just as he was about to withdraw, his mind wavered, and the chaotic mass transformed into a greenish-black infant with a fierce face, its empty, cold eye sockets staring at Lu Xuan.
Upon closer observation, it transformed back to its original state.
Lu Xuan did not concern himself with the changes in the Holy Baby Fruit, but noticed that the semi-transparent progress bar below was fully filled, and he cautiously harvested it.
[Holy Baby Fruit, Offspring fruit cultivated from the resentful will and souls of infants; can be taken alone or integrated with the mother plant to enhance the effect; also a main ingredient for concocting the Five-Quality Holy Infant Pill, with high-quality Holy Baby Fruit being an excellent material for refining an external incarnation.]
"Too bad, the quality of this Offspring fruit is average,” Lu Xuan sighed as he properly stored the Holy Baby Fruit, then his attention was completely drawn to an emerging White Light Group.
Following that, he gently touched the surface of the light cluster.
[Harvested one Five-Quality Holy Baby Fruit, obtained a Five-Quality Treasure Item: Two-Faced Saint Infant.]
A thought flashed through his mind, and suddenly, a bizarre infant appeared in the palm of his hand.
The infant’s body was shriveled, existing between the tangible and intangible, feeling surreal when held. It had two faces, one front and one back; one face was pure and flawless, the other fierce and terrifying, giggling from its mouth as it climbed up Lu Xuan’s arm.
Lu Xuan pressed down on the infant with his other hand, whereupon its body suddenly turned vaporous, transforming into streaks of black smoke that dispersed and recondensed on the other side of his arm.
"There’s something here, but not much.”
Lu Xuan sneered coldly, his palm turning into a translucent jade color. His powerful Spiritual Sense immediately subdued the Two-Faced Saint Infant, focusing his mind on its body.
In an instant, detailed information about this odd, two-faced infant appeared in his mind.
[Two-Faced Saint Infant, a Five-Quality Treasure Item, created by a Primordial Infant Elder from the Thousand Infant Sect, who gathered a large number of remnant infant souls and refined them into a special soul body. The soul body has simple spiritual intelligence and can remain by the side, used to cultivate related Evil Divine Powers, or fused into a high-rank puppet, consecrated as a Magic Treasure.]
[Due to the special means of refinement, the Two-Faced Saint Infant possesses certain aggressiveness, likely to invade the “Cultivator’s” mental state. Caution should be exercised during use.]
"A special soul body? This is the first time I’ve got this kind of treasure.”
Lu Xuan looked at the strange infant held down by his fingers, which couldn’t disperse and solidify freely as before under his firm flesh body and Spiritual Sense, gradually calming down.
Lu Xuan was already accustomed to the various bizarre and rare treasures produced from the light clusters, thinking to himself that he can use what is useful and trade what isn’t for Spiritual Seeds or Spirit Stones — resources.
The rarer and stranger the items, the higher the likely rank of the Spiritual Seeds that could be exchanged, or the greater the number of Spirit Stones obtained.
"Both Holy Baby Fruit offspring are now completely mature; the mother tree, without merging offspring, should produce new offspring Spiritual Seeds.”
Lu Xuan glanced at the nearby Holy Baby Fruit Mother Tree, feeling its hunger, he thought to himself.
"Produce! Strain to produce more! After a few more, I’ll let you merge with offspring Spirit Fruits!”
He promised to the mother tree, which was eager to merge offspring to promote its own growth, painting it a large picture.
