You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 313: Small Gift

"We've got a big catch!"

Seeing the young man who was about to become a blood puppet, Lu Xuan became alert.

Since the encounter with the thin cultivator, he had discovered and dealt with more than ten wandering cultivators contaminated by evil spirits. Unexpectedly, there were so many blood-congealing Yin Insects actively seeking him out.

"Thank you, senior."

The young man bowed shyly, and the blood color continued to rise towards his head.

Around a dozen people kept moving, subtly surrounding Lu Xuan.

"No need to be so polite. Since it's our first meeting, I'll give you a few small gifts to play with."

With a kind expression, Lu Xuan took out three crimson stone beads from his storage bag.

With the Illusion Breaking Eye Technique, Lu Xuan noticed that the bloodlines in the young man and many other cultivators around him were becoming increasingly active.

The three explosive beads fell, forming a triangular shape as they flew out.

At the same time, blood arrows shot out from the young man's seven orifices, and a huge blood cavity covered his head in an instant.

The cavity emitted a strong bloody smell as it shot towards Lu Xuan like lightning.

Before it could fully form, Lu Xuan leaped into the air.

With a bang.

The three explosive beads exploded, engulfing all contaminated cultivators in flames akin to scorching lava.

Blood-congealing Yin Insects flew out from their bodies, with pale red wings and blood-red tentacles that burned like festering sores, continuing to smolder.

"Ah!"

The young blood puppet's ambush failed, and he was instead severely injured by Lu Xuan's explosive beads. In pain, countless blood-red tentacles sprouted from his body, turning him into a bloodworm monster with blood-colored patterned wings, flying towards Lu Xuan in mid-air.

Numerous blood-red tentacles sprouted from his body, resembling spears as they attacked Lu Xuan from all directions.

Lu Xuan remained calm, his spiritual power surging. He formed a sword seal, and the Wind and Thunder Sword transformed into a black light, slashing towards the bloodworm monster.

In an instant, the vast square was filled with thunderous roars and sword qi crisscrossing.

Blood-red tentacles were cut in half by the Wind and Thunder Sword, falling to the ground and wriggling aimlessly.

The blood-congealing Yin Insect King let out a monstrous roar. All its tentacles melted silently, turning into blood-colored lights that curled upwards and merged into its vein-like body.

"Hmm? It won't die?"

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow. The fourth-grade Grand Sun Sword Talisman slipped from his sleeve, and a strand of spiritual power infused it.

The crimson sun at the center of the talisman burst into dazzling light in an instant. Countless crimson sword qi, like sunlight, shot out with a hissing sound, aiming at the Bloodworm King.

Under the relentless onslaught of the endless sword qi, the king finally couldn't hold on anymore. Covered in wounds, its blood color rapidly dimmed, unable to return to its original state.

"Truly terrifying, I almost got hit by this evil creature."

Lu Xuan held the Grand Sun Sword Talisman and landed on the ground.

The entire square was charred black, and all the contaminated cultivators turned into black ash.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan had made preparations in advance, deliberately guiding these blood-congealing Yin Insects to secluded areas, so the situation did not affect the other normal cultivators on the square. Only a few people were lightly injured.

The king inside the young man's body probably had a strength not weaker than the early Foundation Establishment stage. Coupled with more than ten other blood-congealing Yin Insects, it would be difficult for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to deal with them quickly.

But Lu Xuan had many treasures on him.

The third-grade Explosive Beads could instantly trigger a large-scale flame burning. They were obtained from the White Flame Fruit, with a high probability of spawning, and he had no less than twenty of them in his storage bag.

The fourth-grade Grand Sun Sword Talisman, derived from the Glowing Gourd, could easily kill mid to late Foundation Establishment cultivators. Dealing with a third-grade insect king was naturally a piece of cake.

Lu Xuan even only used about ten percent of the sword talisman's power.

After dealing with the Bloodworm King on Empty Abyss Island, Lu Xuan continued to search around the island.

After searching twice, he only found a few contaminated wandering cultivators and took care of them along the way.

With Song Yu's sincere gratitude, Lu Xuan returned to his own courtyard.

After some thought, he took out a messaging talisman from his storage bag.

On a large island, Shi Zhong frowned slightly as he led several high-level Qi cultivation cultivators to fly swiftly towards a corner of the island.

Not long ago, he received an urgent call for help. A large number of evil spirits had manifested themselves, erupting from within wandering cultivators, causing considerable casualties.

With his powerful assistance, many evil spirits were quickly dealt with.

However, the worry on his brow did not diminish in the slightest.

When fishing near the coast, Lu Xuan noticed abnormalities and, along with Zhou Bingyu, returned to the island they were stationed on, making ample arrangements.

When the evil spirits began to manifest and erupt, they were well prepared and did not fall into a state of panic.

But the tenacity of the evil spirits exceeded his imagination.

Firstly, they were difficult to detect and integrated with the host, making it likely that Qi cultivation cultivators would overlook them during searches.

Furthermore, ordinary cultivators found it challenging to deal with attacks from evil spirits. Apart from some methods of dispelling evil, most of the time, they couldn't cause much harm to them.

So, he had been busy recently, rushing around to put out fires, hardly having any time to rest, let alone go fishing.

Suddenly, a messaging talisman appeared in front of him.

Shi Zhong sensed the faint aura of Lu Xuan on the talisman and activated it without worry, hearing a familiar voice.

"Friend Shi, how have you been lately?"

"On Empty Abyss Island, many traces of evil spirits have been found. From what I understand, those blood insects are called blood-congealing Yin Insects. They can silently devour all the blood of their host and store it in their own body, which is a common method for practitioners of blood cultivation to obtain essence blood."

"Therefore, there may be evil cultivators behind this. Please be careful."

"In addition to the usual methods of dispelling evil and purification talismans, fire-type techniques can also cause some damage to evil spirits. Sword techniques of the radiant and righteous type may also have miraculous effects."

Shi Zhong pondered for a moment before inputting a message into the talisman.

For him, Lu Xuan's action was like a timely assistance in times of need.

Detailed introduction of the origin and abilities of the evil spirits, providing solutions, and pointing out the hidden dangers behind it, made Shi Zhong much more relaxed all of a sudden.

On Empty Abyss Island, two messaging talismans fell into Lu Xuan's courtyard in succession

.

They were from Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu, respectively, expressing their gratitude to Lu Xuan and specifically mentioning that after dealing with the invading evil spirits, they would search for information about Spirit Nectar for him.

"It's not in vain to send out this goodwill."

Lu Xuan held the talismans and sighed inwardly.

After dealing with the evil spirits on Empty Abyss Island, Lu Xuan didn't bother with other islands invaded by the evil spirits. Instead, he casually conveyed some information about the evil spirits to Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu. Although the two of them came from prominent backgrounds and had broad knowledge, blood-congealing Yin Insects were still evil creatures, and without Lu Xuan's abilities, even if they had heard of them, they might not be able to deal with them properly.

So, he gave them a little favor, and they didn't disappoint him either. After receiving Lu Xuan's message, they both expressed their gratitude separately.
