Chapter 264 The Mission of a Spirit Herb (Part 1)
His companions tested the depths of Lu Chen's old dog's abilities.
They even dared to try their hand at broadleaf cuttings.
On the other side of the Undying Sea, the Demon Vine Clan was discussing whether to use one of their own or entrust a human to do it. After all, the human was once the chosen one of destiny, and even if they wanted to accuse someone of possession, they would have to find a human cultivator to witness it.
The Demon Vine still doesn't have much of a say.
However, the thought of the opportunity to become the chosen one of destiny that could be obtained by capturing the possessing old ghost was also a great one.
And possibly a tiny bit of luck.
The demon vines roused themselves again and engaged in a war of words to secure a spot to cross the sea.
We still need to continue screening the secretive, powerful monks.
If someone hadn't kept a tight rein on things, Lu Chen might have been kidnapped before the Demon Vine even crossed the sea.
Broadleaf shrubs exploit this time difference.
Let Xiao Yi spread Lu Chen's reputation for being a glutton among the cultivators.
Consuming it can increase cultivation level, it can even result in conceiving a child with special talent, and who knows, it might even allow you to swindle some magical treasures and artifacts...
For a time, Lu Chen was surrounded by beautiful women wherever he went.
Both male and female cultivators showed him great care and concern.
Every single one is the kind he likes.
The former Lu Chen was quite wealthy, and this old dog spent money without a second thought, giving this to new lovers and using that to appease old ones. His behavior was completely different from that of the Lu Chen of the past.
Lu Chen, that old dog, had his eyes covered by props.
His own fortune and cultivation level are not apparent, like a small funnel.
The female cultivators who were familiar with Lu Chen felt sorry for him. They had originally planned to tolerate this body-snatcher for a while longer, but now they didn't want to.
Be patient again and again.
What if this old dog develops real feelings and wants to settle down?
They haven't gotten enough of the benefits yet.
Kuoye would enter the old dog's dreams every night, using props to steam and stew the old dog's soul again and again.
Lu Chen was once a prodigy on this continent.
As a result, his soul was steamed every night, leaving his body looking like it had kidney deficiency.
To enjoy the pleasures of love, one must take a few pills.
...
When Yao Buteng learned that his clansmen were coming to capture people, he took the initiative to participate.
She brought the secret realm back to her clan.
They also hired a "private coach" without pay to provide special training and care for the children in the secluded area.
This day.
Kuoye finished answering the personal trainer's questions.
As one of the child soldiers, she could feel her IQ declining day by day, while a group of real little spirit plants and spirit beasts whispered among themselves.
"Kuoye is indeed a senior; being born hundreds of years earlier than us makes a difference!"
"I really hope I can be like Senior Kuoye."
"I heard that both Senior Kuoye and Senior Xiling were born outside the secret realm!"
"When can we go outside the secret realm to broaden our horizons?"
Their private tutor, the Treasure-Seeking Rat, a friend of the Demon Vine Clan, struck a gong or drum at the side of him, and the little spirit beasts and plants stopped their whispering.
"Greetings, Senior Rat!"
The treasure-hunting rat nodded in satisfaction.
That's good. He knows how to respect his teachers, unlike that guy Yao Buteng.
It seems that Yao Buteng's mischievousness is beyond what ordinary spiritual plants and beasts can match.
"Alright, today let's talk about the attitudes of human cultivators from the outside world towards our spirit plants and spirit beasts..."
The treasure-hunting rat spat out one by one from its mouth: a recording stone, a spirit stone, a pill, a talisman, an array plate, a magic tool, a storage bag, and finally a few jade slips.
This rat has a wealth of teaching experience.
They talked and asked questions, and also used image-remembering stones and illusion artifacts for assistance.
Broadleaf, caught up in the excitement, couldn't help but clap his hands with the blades of grass.
It means: Senior Mouse, Grass likes you, please speak more.
After stroking its whiskers and drinking a cup of spiritual tea to soothe its throat, the treasure-hunting rat transformed into an automatic explanation machine, talking non-stop until the sky darkened.
The little spirit plants and spirit beasts were all moved to tears.
The rat was so engrossed in its treasure hunt that it had no time to pay attention to anything else.
The little spirit plants and spirit beasts huddled together, trembling.
*
Yao Buteng returned to find items to fill the storefront.
The rats have started acting strangely again.
Quickly carry away all the little ones trapped in the formation.
The demonic vine extended a bit of its main body, coiled up the rat, hung it upside down, and swung it wildly, while the broad leaves couldn't help but clap their hands in applause.
The other cubs joined in the clapping.
"Ancestor! Ancestor!"
"Our ancestor was incredibly powerful!"
"Ancestor, I felt like throwing up just now, am I going to die?!"
"Ancestor, where are my father and mother?"
Yao Buteng was surrounded by a group of little brats, with a noisy buzzing sound in her ears. She shook her head to shake off the mischievous grass and mischievous beasts that had climbed onto her head.
"You guys just need to learn from Senior Rat, that's all."
"Everything else is for adults."
"Alright, that's settled then. Ancestor has other matters to attend to."
Before the words were even finished, the treasure-hunting rat fell first, landing on the big baby spirit beast, and then bounced onto the big little spirit plant on the other side.
"Run!"
"A senior has fallen from the sky!"
"It's so heavy, my flesh is practically crushed!"
Yao Buteng took this opportunity to leave without saying goodbye.
Only a bunch of little cubs were left staring at each other in the secret realm.
Hmm, that's not right.
And there were also some fresh things that were thrown off Senior Rat's body...
Kuoye moved forward with small steps, behind him was a little spirit beast that wanted its parents to nibble on the tips of its leaves. Unlike the other cubs who were lively and noisy, this little beast was probably a bit anxious about separation.
You have to gnaw on the tip of a broadleaf skull every day.
Even if its head has capsaicin on it.
Besides the broad-leaved ones, the quick-moving spirit beasts have already started eating the fallen "food".
For example, the spirit tea dregs from Senior Rat, the bitter spirit leopard excrement drink used to refresh the mind, and the thousand-year-old pine nuts obtained in exchange from fellow clansmen...
It's something that's not very useful but also hard to obtain.
After all that mischief the little spirit beast cubs have caused, their parents will probably have to sell themselves and work to pay for it.
Little Spirit Plant is more conscientious.
They even knew to drag the unconscious senior rat aside so it wouldn't get stepped on by the beast cubs.
They were all loitering in the system space, extremely envious.
It really gets itchy to do those kinds of mischievous activities.
...
Kuoye picked up some items she liked and said goodbye to her classmates.
Outside the secret realm, there are cultivators who need to recuperate on their own.
The group of cultivators who had divided up the small flowers, grasses, and beasts, and then dismantled the large beasts, were now gathering under the guise of welcoming Lu Chen, the old dog.
They watch their performances every day when they have nothing else to do.
"Hehe, that old dog Lu Chen got away with this for nothing. Didn't anyone around him notice?"
"Who told him to be so high-profile and carefree, thinking that possession would solve everything? He still has to be as cautious and discreet as we are."
"You're doing well hiding, you're going to kindergarten every day..."
Broadleaf refused to recall her daily life with the cubs.
"Quick, I can't pretend to be in meditation for too long, or I'll be dragged out to wash my hair again."
The broadleaf spirit actively entered a mini Gundam.
However, this Gundam was made with the face of an ethereal female cultivator and wore a robe full of Taoist charm, so it didn't seem out of place when Xiao Yi held it in his hand.
They all envied them, but none of them said anything.
It needs to accumulate points to upgrade!
I can't keep buying things randomly from the system's online store!
I heard that upgrading will bring life protection, and the Quick Transmigration Bureau will even provide insurance compensation. If the original leader really can't come back, they will compensate the host with a new leader and a large sum of points.
The more Tong thought about it, the sadder he became.
It felt as if the possibility of being seized and dismantled by a powerful being was imminent.
