You Cultivate, I Farm

“Little friend Lu, how is the situation? Have you detected anything?”

Not far away, Thunderfire True Monarch asked in a casual tone.

After the fruitless return of True Cultivator Qinshan from the Thousand Beast Sect and Primordial Infant True Monarch Elder Bai Shou, the three Star Masters did not hold out much hope. The reason they had Lu Xuan inspect was merely to complete the procedure, to not have him make the trip in vain.

“The junior has a slight clue.”

Lu Xuan said calmly.

“Hmm?”

The crowd looked up in unison.

Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the hearts of the Sky Star Cave Cultivators, once silenced, were kindled with a sliver of hope.

Elder Bai Shou’s expression was full of disbelief.

Yet, facing the abnormal behavior of these high-rank spirit beasts, he was at his wit’s end without any clues, and this junior cultivator of humble origin had already found the crux of the issue?

“Little friend, please speak quickly, why are these spirit beasts acting this way?”

Three streaks of light instantly passed through the Prohibitions and Spiritual Energy Shields, arriving in front of Lu Xuan.

The three Star Masters, each with a Cultivation not lower than the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, looked eagerly at Lu Xuan.

Indeed, these high-rank spirit beasts were extremely valuable, so upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, even with the Heart Realm of a Primordial Infant True Monarch, they felt a significant stir.

“Since my youth, I have had a strong response with Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts. Having delved into many ancient tomes for years, I happened to recall a kind of Demon Insect from the Monster Tribe that might cause such an abnormal reaction in Spirit Beasts.”

“This Demon Insect is called the Three Corpses Insect, which only medium and high-rank Evil Demons can evolve into, and is extremely rare.”

“Invisible and colorless, its movements are elusive, it prefers invading the body and divine soul of demon beasts.”

Lu Xuan spoke slowly, his tone full of certainty.

“Three Corpses Insect?”

Thunderfire True Monarch’s brows slightly furrowed.

With his Cultivation Realm, he had never heard of such a Demon Insect.

However, seeing Lu Xuan’s confident demeanor, he felt more hopeful.

“Does little friend have a method to separate or eliminate these Three Corpses Insects?”

“There is one. According to legend, completely immersing the demon beast invaded by the Three Corpses Insect in the liquid from the Supreme Yang Spirit Spring will force it to reveal itself. Even if it’s invisible and colorless, with the Divine Soul of the three seniors, they will surely be able to find it.”

Lu Xuan said, smiling.

“Supreme Yang Spirit Spring Liquid? I collected a large amount of Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid in Thunder Jetty Cave before; it might be just right to try with that.”

Thunderfire True Monarch nodded slightly, and then, a Silver White Jade Vase over half a zhang tall appeared in the air, with patterns of thunder and lightning strange beasts on it. One could faintly hear the sound of thunder coming from inside it.

The sound of gurgling water rose, a silver white stream poured down from the mouth of the vase.

It was a vast expanse of white; only upon close inspection, one could realize that it was composed of countless tiny thunder sparks.

Thunder Spirit was fierce, and even with Lu Xuan’s Breaking Illusion Eye Technique bolstered by his Great Spirit Sense, looking at it a few more times made his eyes feel slightly pained.

Soon, in the air condensed a Spiritual Liquid cluster about a zhang in diameter, from afar, the terrible might emanating from within was palpable.

“Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid? This is a rather rare Sixth Grade Spiritual Liquid, and to bring out so much of it, to separate that possibly non-existent so-called Three Corpses Insect, Fellow Lei Huo is really willing to invest.”

Elder Bai Shou’s pupils dilated as he looked at the large cluster of Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid. Although he was also a Primordial Infant True Monarch, in terms of strength and wealth, he was far behind the Thunderfire True Monarch who controlled a Star Cave; he couldn’t help feeling a touch of envy at the scene.

Once the spiritual liquid had congealed, Thunderfire True Monarch reached out with one hand, and a gigantic silver-white palm shadow flashed by, snatching a mutated spirit beast from the restrictions below in an instant.

The spirit beast was enveloped by the silver-white palm shadow, rapidly dragged towards the white expanse of the liquid cluster.

Sensing the terrifying aura inside, the spirit beast became extremely agitated, struggling constantly.

But it was all in vain as he was slapped into the pool of water by the giant silver-white palm.

As soon as he entered, the countless thunderbolts inside became extremely active, vying to enter the altered Spirit Beast’s seven orifices.

Thunderfire True Monarch’s eyes were closed in prohibition, and his divine sense completely locked onto that pool of water.

Suddenly, from within the Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid, faint silver-white bubbles surfaced. He seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, and with a draw of his spiritual power, a transparent insect beast with three heads emerged from the pool.

The three tiny heads were blurry and unclear, as if they were merely condensations of pure malicious thoughts.

“There really is a Demon Insect!”

The Green Wood Star Owner exclaimed in surprise.

Appreciative admiration also appeared in the eyes of the Wutu Star Owner as he looked at Lu Xuan.

Although Elder Bai Shou’s realm was a notch lower, he still managed to detect the presence of the Three Corpses Insect after it was separated by the Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid.

Lu Xuan and Qinshan, one from a Great Sect at the Golden Core Completion Realm, and the other skilled in Pupil Skill and superior Visualization Methods, with a Spiritual Sense far stronger than Cultivators of the same level, also roughly sensed the existence of the Three Corpses Insect.

As for the rest of the Sky Star Cave Cultivators, they could only stare with wide eyes and narrowed eyes.

Three Corpses Insect was merely extremely peculiar in shape and habits, with moderate strength. Once pulled out, the only outcome awaiting it was death.

The three Star Owners swept the area over and over with their divine senses, thoroughly confirming. Then, a Thunder Talisman formed out of nowhere, and with a ‘snap,’ it fell onto the body of the Three Corpses Insect.

Wisps of blue smoke rose as the transparent insect beast with three heads burned into nothingness.

The Spirit Beast in the pool was flung out, crashing onto the ground.

Under the curious gaze of the crowd, the Spirit Beast shook its head, rising with a bewildered look in its eyes, completely devoid of its previous berserk brutality.

Several strong Spirit Senses swept across simultaneously, and after confirming there were no abnormalities, the faces of Thunderfire True Monarch and the others all revealed smiles.

“It really worked!”

“Little friend Lu truly deserves his reputation as the most renowned Spirit Plant Master in Sky Star Cave, being able to detect the existence of such a thing as the Three Corpses Insect.”

“No, after today, he will be the most renowned Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast Master, not just in the Liyang Region but across the entire Central Continent.”

The Green Wood Star Owner said with a smile.

“The three seniors flatter me too much, I dare not accept such praise.”

Lu Xuan hurriedly responded.

“The reality is before us; there’s no need for modesty, young friend.”

The Wutu Star Owner, who had not spoken much, slowly said.

“I only devote myself entirely to the field of Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts. For other Spirit Plant Masters and Beast Taming Masters, cultivation is the true profession, and Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts are mostly just a means to acquire resources for them.”

“It may simply be the difference between a profession and a hobby.”

Lu Xuan said softly.

“Makes sense.”

“We admire the sincerity of little friend Lu towards Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts.”

The crowd expressed their admiration one after another.

“Please, the three of you go and rest for a while. We will meet with you once the matters here are settled,” Thunderfire True Monarch said to Lu Xuan and the others.

After the presence of the Three Corpses Insect was discovered, there were many matters that needed immediate attention. The longer the delay, the more detrimental it would be to those Spirit Beasts.

The separated Three Corpses Insects were forcefully exterminated by thunderous methods, and to be safe, the many awakened High Rank Spirit Beasts were confined in another area with prohibitions and restrictions.

After a period of observation and ensuring nothing was amiss, they would be truly released.

After watching for a while, Lu Xuan and the others were led into the main hall by the Sky Star Cave Cultivators to rest.
