I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 386: Chapter 384 Underground Attack l

In the small courtyard of the camp…

Several slender pale-red mutated Tusilin were moving around freely, appearing and disappearing intermittently, attempting to get close and parasitize upon a moment’s neglect.

However, as soon as they approached, they were firmly blocked by a spiritual energy shield and retreated fruitlessly.

Lu Xuan stood at the edge of the spiritual energy shield, while Feng Yu accompanied him on both sides, controlling the formation and guarding against any accidents.

Days after Fire Scale Child left, the sect members returning to the camp brought several more mutated Tusilin, increasing the sample size for Lu Xuan’s research experiment.

He stepped into the formation and growled low at the Tusilin.

The sound was like a dragon’s roar, authoritative and dominating, causing involuntary feelings of submission in people.

During the maturity of the Flood Dragon Vine, Lu Xuan, who had obtained the Body Refinement Technique called “Transforming Dragon in the Void” from the light cluster, practiced diligently. In addition, the countless Flood Dragons in Thousand Dragon Lake contributed fresh essence blood, giving him a profound understanding of this technique. His low growls came with a hint of dragon’s majesty.

As the roar swept over, the freely moving, elusive mutated Tusilin seemed to have been stimulated and instantly calmed down. Each slender blade of grass curled up and quickly formed into a bundle of pale-red grass clusters.

“As expected, sonic attacks have a remarkable effect on these mutated Tusilin.”

Lu Xuan mused, continuing to observe the Tusilin that had coiled up into clusters.

A little half an hour later, the Tusilin slowly unfurled and moved cautiously, seeking a host for parasitic infection.

Feng Yu and the other stood by, clearly recognizing that Lu Xuan had made a breakthrough in his research on this mutant spiritual plant and congratulated him.

“Congratulations Brother Lu for solving another mystery of a mutant spiritual plant.”

“Brother Lu is indeed one of the most renowned Spirit Plant Masters in our sect. He was able to overcome this difficulty in just a few days. I guess those in Ling Xiao Sect’s camp would feel ashamed.”

Although both had long realized Lu Xuan’s profound attainments in spirit plants, they were still excited and astonished when they saw him succeed again.

“We can inform Brother Fire Scale Child and the others now.”

Lu Xuan said calmly, pulling out the Communication Talisman. He informed Fire Scale Child about the discovery that the unparasitised mutated Tusilin were afraid of sonic attacks.

After solving this problem, Lu Xuan’s research task was significantly lightened, so he shifted his focus to exchanging spirit plants.

On this day, he came to the camp of Ten Thousand Beast Gate.

Ten Thousand Beast Gate was renowned in the Cultivation World for taming demon beasts. Their understanding of spirit plants was naturally inferior to the neighboring Ling Xiao Sect. Lu Xuan decided to take the opportunity to exploit their lack of knowledge.

“Friend Dragon, how do you feel about my proposal?”

He met a burly and handsome female cultivator. Knowing her straightforward and direct personality, he stated his purpose right away.

“Alright, let’s do as Friend Lu suggested and exchange some species of spirit plants.”

Even though Long Miaomiao was not adept at it, she still knew how to copy their work.

The Lingxiao Sect and Sky Sword Sect were exchanging mutant spiritual plants with each other. The Ten Thousand Beast Gate in the camp naturally knew all about it and even the exchanged spirit plants were exactly the same.

Lu Xuan was glad it turned out this way. He took out the mutated spiritual plants that the other party needed and exchanged them for his desired spiritual plants in the Ten Thousand Beast Gate camp, leaving with his spoils.

Night fell.

The pair of emerald-green eyes of the Cloud Leopard shone brightly in the dark, coldly inspecting the surroundings. Its gaze occasionally fell on Lu Xuan, who was engrossed in his cultivation.

Its pupils did not show any emotional changes. Only the two clusters of gray-white fur trembling on its ear tips indicated it was in a relatively good mood.

The gray vine of the Demonic Vine had divided into numerous parts, like countless tentacles spreading out, motionless on the ground.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the Demonic Vine lifted a section of the vine, sniffing around.

Immediately after, it swiftly rose and brutally burrowed into the dark red soil.

“Huh?”

Lu Xuan was startled awake by the movement of the demonic vine, and emerged from his cultivation state, looking puzzled at the demon vine that was burrowing deeper and deeper.

Concentrating his mind on the grey vine, Lu Xuan sensed a thought transmitted by the demonic vine.

“Delicious, delicious. So many things I love to eat.”

“What does that mean? Are there a lot of things that the demonic vine likes underground?”

Lu Xuan wondered. The demonic vine is fond of spirit fruits, all parts of spirit plants, and demon beast meat, and is extremely sensitive to spiritual seeds. If it is so agitated, it means that a lot of spiritual plant demonic beasts under the ground are attacking the camp.

He was immediately alert, the Grade Five Divine Mind Scroll brightened slightly in his mind. His spiritual sense, as if amplified, rushed rapidly towards the underground.

In recent days, his spiritual sense had improved quite a bit under the constant nurturing of the Divine Mind Scroll. At this moment, it was finally put to use.

As per his spiritual sense, scores of demonic beasts were rushing from deep underground toward the camp.

The ones at the front are particularly adept at earth escape and digging, clearing the way for the other spirit beasts.

Lu Xuan noticed that the aura of every demonic beast was weak, hence, they had not been detected by the cultivators of the three sects camp so far.

At the same time, he observed a faint dissonance in the hundreds or thousands of demonic beasts. Their movements were mechanical, their expressions dull, they were like working on instinct.

“They look like puppets. Have they all been parasitized by the Camp Tassel?”

Deducing, Lu Xuan yanked the demonic vine out and gave it a mutated Camp Tassel.

“Do all those demonic beasts underground have this strange spiritual plant’s scent in them?”

Although the demonic vine didn’t have facial features or limbs, it could express basic responses. Hearing Lu Xuan’s question, it quickly nodded heavily.

“It seems like your feast is almost here!”

Lu Xuan took out the fourth grade wind-thunder sword, many fourth-grade sword symbols were buckled around him, ready to be triggered at any moment.

“Several formations have been set up in the camp, which could afford good protection from all sides as well as the air, but it did not occur to me that there would be so many demon beast puppets striking from underground.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion. Seeing that Feng Yu and his companions, as well as the fellow disciples who remained in the camp, had not responded at all, he sent them a transmitting message.

“Friend Feng, friend Zhang, wake up, demonic beasts are attacking the camp.”

Both of them were deep in practice. They woke up hearing Lu Xuan’s transmission from outside their cabins, their spiritual sense extended into the underground, their expressions changed, and they each made full preparations for battle.

“Roar!”

A two-foot-long earth yellow earth dragon drilled out from the dark red soil, and let out an urgent low roar.

Long Miaomiao broke out of her cabin directly and came in front of her spirit beast. After a quick exchange, her expression changed and her voice echoed throughout the entire camp.

“Fellow Daoists, many demonic beasts are attacking from the underground, please be careful.”

This earth yellow earth dragon was an expert in earth escape and several earth-based methods, therefore, quickly took notice of all the changes in the spirit soil.

Although the cultivators in the camp were more proficient in cultivating spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts, they were still inner sect disciples of major sects. Therefore, their lack of preparedness was only relative, and they quickly prepared to deliver a heavy blow to these manipulated demonic beasts.

Lu Xuan, Feng Yu and several fellow disciples who were healing in the camp stood together, their faces serious.

Feng Yu slapped his storage bag, a lustrous blue spiritual energy shield emerged rapidly, enveloping everyone within..
