Chapter 549 It was not done by a righteous monk
In the dark forest, there are towering ancient trees, and various strange noises are heard from everywhere.
Lu Xuan stood quietly next to a huge spiritual tree about half a foot in diameter, with a small hollow bone ball floating in front of him.
Suddenly, the dense white bone ball instantly transformed into a white bone shield. With a bang, it blocked a thick black snake that sneaked up from behind the spirit tree.
Just when the third-grade demon snake wanted to escape, the bone shield continued to change and turned into a network of bones, entangling the demon snake tighter and tighter until the demon snake was dying.
“The freshest buffet, eat more.”
Lu Xuan smiled at the pale red meatball at his feet. While the Flesh Spirit God was absorbing the blood mist transformed from the flesh and blood of the demonic snake, a strange lantern appeared in his hand.
A section of pale candle inside the lantern seemed to sense something, causing countless slender tentacle-like lamp spikes below to sway slightly.
Lu Xuan input a bit of spiritual power, and the pale flame on the candle burned even more. The soul of the demon snake that had just died gradually revealed its body, looking like it would dissipate at any time in the air.
“It’s not too much to find a place for you as a resting place for your ghost soul. In return, when I need you, you can be the nourishment for my spiritual plant in the underworld, right?”
Lu Xuan said lightly, watching as this fourth-grade soul-inducing lantern magic weapon absorbed the ghost of the demon snake into the lantern, turning it into one of the countless resentful souls densely packed under the candle.
"It's good to act alone. You can absorb the souls of dead monsters and don't let them go to waste."
“Although the process is not in line with the status of a righteous monk, as a spiritual planter, I make full use of every resource to cultivate spiritual plants, so there is nothing wrong with it, right?”
“At least it’s not used to refine any poisonous magic weapon or technique to harm other monks.”
Lu Xuan thought shamelessly.
He has been in this area for half a month. During this period, he has hunted and killed many alienated monsters, Xie Sui, and the Flesh Spirit God was completely stretched into a round sphere.
With the Void Nightmare Eye, he observed the surrounding situation and found that a monk came near him. He restrained his behavior and deliberately avoided it, so he never met other monks.
Not afraid of being discovered by people, the spiritual gods and the soul -led lanterns, white bone magic magic, etc., he did not specifically hide his breath and change his appearance.
Once the light red meatballs were full, Lu Xuan continued to patrol the area.
“Huh? That person seems to be a fellow disciple.”
Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the prominent gray-white eyes in his hand.
Through the vision shared by the Void Nightmare Eyes that kept wandering high in the sky, he saw the figures of two monks, one of whom was quite familiar to him and had met them once.
Some time ago, many spiritual beasts in the blessed land of Ten Thousand Demons Cave were invaded and polluted by a kind of alien insect called the mind-obsessed aphrodisiac. Master Cangwu invited Lu Xuan to check, and he met a senior brother named Chen Luo who had perfect foundation building and was good at controlling beasts.
The other person beside him was not seen.
The two of them looked left and right, as if searching for something.
“Would you like to go up and say hello?”
Lu Xuan hesitated in his heart.
It is rare to see a fellow sect member who is also his senior brother. It would be inappropriate to deliberately avoid him.
But he and this senior brother Chen Luo didn't get along. After solving the problem of the invasion of the enchanting insects, he once asked him for an ancient book on strange insects that he had fabricated, but Lu Xuan politely refused.
“Junior brother Lu, what a coincidence, I met you here.”
While he was hesitating, Chen Luo's voice sounded in his ears.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lu Xuan, with a hint of joy on his face.
“Senior Brother Chen, it’s really a coincidence that I can meet you in this wilderness.”
Lu Xuan looked at the cold-tempered senior brother in front of him with a smile on his lips.
He quietly clenched his fists and covered his gray eyes, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
“I went to Black Star City on business and was about to rush back to Black Demon Abyss. I didn’t expect to run into you, junior brother, here.”
Chen Luo explained with a smile. "My cultivation level is average and I dare not enter the Black Demon Abyss. I can only hunt some ordinary monsters here."
“Senior brother, are you going to the Black Demon Abyss alone? I wish I had your strength.”
Lu Xuan asked casually.
“That’s right, it’s a person.”
Chen Luo replied simply.
He looked at Lu Xuan, the smile on his gloomy face became stronger, and he changed the subject.
“Junior brother Lu, last time you said there was an ancient book that recorded information about various strange insects and beasts. Can you give me a look?”
He slowly walked towards Lu Xuan.
“I remember telling you, senior brother, that I borrowed that ancient book from a Taoist friend and returned it to him many years ago.”
“Please don’t force me, senior brother.”
Lu Xuan looked calm and replied calmly.
“Junior brother, with the strength of your soul, it shouldn’t be a problem to write it down silently, even if it’s been many years, right?”
“Otherwise, searching for souls is no joke.”
Chen Luo looked at Lu Xuan coldly with a sinister expression, and slowly drew out a long black sword.
“Senior brother, what do you mean by this? Don’t you know how serious a crime it is to harm a fellow disciple?”
Lu Xuan said solemnly.
“As long as no one in the sect sees it, who will think it’s me?”
“It seems that senior brother is well prepared.”
Thoughts flashed through Lu Xuan's mind. Last time when his classmates got together, a junior brother told him that someone was inquiring about him. He must be the one in front of him.
"Junior brother, don't think about delaying time. I have already set up spies here. Junior brother, your cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building will not be my opponent."
"Tell me the contents of that ancient book honestly, and I can give you a decent ending. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will suffer the pain of searching for souls, which is not a pleasant feeling."
Chen Luo is full of confidence.
Last time when there was a problem with spiritual beasts, Lu Xuan easily discovered the mind-numbing bug and proposed a solution, which made him obsessed with strange insects and beasts suddenly develop a strong possessive desire, and he wanted to get the ancient books that Lu Xuan talked about.
After being politely rejected by Lu Xuan, he had the idea of killing people to seize the treasure. After investigating Lu Xuan's cultivation strength, this idea became even more powerful.
According to his understanding, Lu Xuan only cultivated in the middle stage of foundation building. He stayed in the sect for a long time and rarely explored secret realms and sought opportunities. Even his cultivation mainly relied on pills. The only thing worthy of praise was his superb skills. Spiritual plantation level.
How powerful can a spiritual planter be?
With this idea in mind, when Lu Xuan left the sect, he specifically inquired about the relevant information. When he learned that Lu Xuan was coming to Black Star City, he followed him.
In his mind, obtaining that ancient book was already a sure thing, it just depended on which method he used to obtain it.
"Why…"
Lu Xuan sighed.
“For the sake of a treasure, you harmed your fellow disciples, and you even did not hesitate to use insidious magic like the Soul Searching Technique. Senior Brother Chen, this is not what a righteous monk would do.”
He shook his head and looked at the gloomy monk with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
Today's situation is very bad. There is only one update. It does not count as a leave. I will make up for it tomorrow.
