You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 465

At the lowest layer of the forbidden area, the number of ferocious and demonic beasts in a state of transformation was not extensive.

Lu Xuan nurtured each one, incidentally gathering detailed information about every demonic and ferocious beast.

He processed the information he obtained, recording it in a speculative and estimated form.

From his entry into the Sky Sword Sect to the present, Lu Xuan never hesitated to reveal his innate talent in the realm of spiritual plants and beasts.

His rapid ascent to his current level of strength and status was attributable to his expertise in spiritual plants and beasts, a fact recognized throughout the Sky Sword Sect.

A cultivator's profound knowledge in spiritual plants and beasts posed little threat to others; instead, it opened opportunities for cooperation and mutual benefits.

Ge Pu, Huo Lin'er, and Zhong Jingshan, several true disciples, became acquainted with Lu Xuan through this and provided him with opportunities to obtain higher-grade spiritual plants and beasts.

Thus, appropriately showcasing his talent in spiritual plants and beasts was entirely beneficial, significantly increasing the likelihood of acquiring higher-grade specimens and thereby enhancing the rewards from the glowing orbs.

The only secret he had to keep was the existence of these glowing orbs.

That was his greatest secret, rapidly enhancing his cultivation and acquiring various rare treasures, allowing him, an ordinary spiritual plant cultivator, to find a footing.

As expected, after Lu Xuan shared his records and speculations about the demonic beasts with the Qingqiu Fox Demon, it sought him out.

"Do your speculations about those demonic beasts have a basis?" it asked directly.

The flesh lumps on its back rapidly expanded and contracted, betraying its inner turmoil.

"If Senior finds my speculations problematic, you could try them out or wait for time to verify them."

"Indeed."

Leaving these words behind, the old fox transformed into a streak of black light and vanished from before Lu Xuan.

Moments later, it reappeared, carrying a bizarre ferocious beast.

The beast retained the general characteristics of a toad demon beast, except its limbs resembled segments of green wood, and its chest and back skin patterns were like dry green bark, filled with deep and shallow grooves.

Lu Xuan had a slight recollection of this beast, sensing it had the highest chance of survival among them.

"This beast, a fusion of the Green Wood Demon and the Blood Yin Toad, barely survived the combination. It has been constantly afflicted by a special toxin internally. According to your speculations, it seems you understand this toxin?"

The old fox asked hastily.

This Green Wood Toad was considered a relatively successful fusion but still exhibited adverse reactions, keeping it in a precarious state.

"Senior, while nurturing this beast, I conducted some research and found that its internal toxin was quite unique."

"The toad demon beast inherently harbors potent poison. The fusion with the Green Wood Demon beast's characteristics not only intensified the toxicity but also triggered unknown changes."

"The toxin now seems to possess vigorous vitality, continuously produced within the beast's body. The toxin itself already exceeds the beast's physical limits, and this trait makes it even more challenging to address."

"Thus, this fused beast has been in a cycle of toxin release and suppression, leading to adverse reactions in its body and complicating its nurturing."

"Do you have a solution?"

The old fox's voice turned more urgent.

"I possess a fourth-grade poison insect experienced with various potent poisons, which could be attempted."

"Currently, the beast faces two issues: firstly, the removal of the life-bearing toxin integrated into its body, and secondly, finding a way to suppress the internal production of toxins until it fully adapts to its new form."

"The notion of a life-bearing toxin is indeed novel; I hadn't expected it to be the culprit."

A glint of realization flickered in the murky eyes of the old fox, as Lu Xuan's unconventional suggestion enlightened it, offering a new approach.

A layer of black light emerged from the fox, seemingly able to isolate all matters, and slowly merged into the toad beast.

After a moment, the black light, carrying strands of greenish fluid, gradually seeped out from within the beast.

The toad beast's condition visibly improved.

After initially addressing the beast's internal issue, a stone lock adorned with numerous intricate runes, emitting a dense aura of death, appeared before the old fox.

It embedded the stone lock directly into the neck of the toad beast. Instantly, a shallow gray light enveloped the beast's body, giving off a deathly appearance.

The gray light attempted to penetrate the beast's body but was blocked by a subtle layer of pale green spiritual light, achieving a delicate balance.

"Guagua!"

The toad beast croaked, its voice carrying a sense of relief, noticeable even to the Qingqiu Fox Demon beside it.

"Has this become a new type of demon beast?"

The old fox stood in place, dumbfounded. It hadn't expected the persistent transplant rejection issue to be so easily resolved.

Even if it resulted in just one new type of demon beast, it was infinitely easier compared to before.

"Currently, only this issue has been resolved; it doesn't mean new rejection problems won't emerge."

Lu Xuan stated cautiously.

"Indeed."

The corners of the old fox's mouth twitched, seemingly unaccustomed to smiling after so long.

"Lu... young friend, would you like to name this new type of demon beast?"

Its tone was awkward yet carried a hint of closeness.

"Considering its characteristics, how about calling it Green Wood Toad?"

"Acceptable."

The old fox nodded lightly.

"I hadn't expected you to possess such terrifying talent, young friend," it remarked wistfully.

Lu Xuan's efficiency was astounding; in a short period, he pinpointed the issue with the fused beast.

"During my interactions with spiritual plants and beasts, I can vaguely sense their conditions, so occasionally I find some odd solutions."

"But, this is mainly due to your successful experiments, Senior. You've tried various methods to create a new type of demon beast. I was just fortunate to make a small discovery based on that."

Lu Xuan modestly replied.

"No wonder you've become the most famous spiritual plant cultivator in the sect at such a young age, achieving such significant success."

The old fox expressed its admiration.

Suddenly, its demeanor turned extremely solemn, its chaotic fur wildly fluttering.

"Have you ever heard of a special type of spiritual beast called Dao Soldiers?"

"Dao Soldiers? I've never come across it."

Lu Xuan racked his brain, realizing he had never encountered the term "Dao Soldiers" despite perusing numerous scriptures in the sect's library.

"Dao Soldiers are a unique type of spiritual beast. My current experiments aim to create them," the old fox stated solemnly.
