I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 463: Chapter 461: Tiger-Headed Snake Monster, New Approach_1

Farming is not easy and can be forbidden.

For the next period, Lu Xuan came to the forbidden area from time to time, found the Bald Monk, and learned how to quickly and harmlessly handle various demon beasts under his guidance.

After the processing, he took the opportunity of discarding the leftovers of the demon beasts to collect them all into the Gluttonous Insect pouch.

Out of caution, he made sure to visit the Old Dragon Turtle every time he went to the forbidden area to have his fortune told for potential misfortunes. Only after confirming there were no problems, would he enter the forbidden area.

One day, Lu Xuan arrived at the abyss with a full bag of leftovers from the processed demon beasts.

The spiritual light of the Divine Essence Scroll in his mind lit up slightly, as his spiritual sense quickly extended outward.

After confirming no one was watching him, he moved his mind and a weird lantern appeared in his hand.

The grim white lantern cover seemed to be made of a human skin pouch, the handle resembled a long white bone and holding it in his hand gave an icy chill. Under the lantern base, countless dark red lamp wicks swayed gently without wind.

There were many resentful spirit faces silently screaming on the pale white candle inside, densely packed together. Some of them even resembled familiar faces.

The lantern was the Soul Lantern that had sprouted from the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom Light Cluster, capable of attracting Yin Souls and Resentful Wills within a certain range, and storing them in the candle.

“There should be quite a few remaining Yin Souls from the many spirit beasts and ferocious beasts that have died in the forbidden area.”

Lu Xuan channeled his spiritual power into the Soul Lamp. Immediately, countless dark red lamp wicks under the lamp base danced violently, and a pale flame lit on the pale white candle.

A few breaths later, the Yin Souls of various demon beasts flew out from all around the passage and crazily entered the candle.

They instantly filled the entire candle. The nascent souls of several foundation establishment cultivators absorbed from inside the Boundless Sea Secret Realm were screaming in despair, constantly biting the demon beast souls pressing on them.

“It’s full, can’t absorb anymore.”

Seeing that there is absolutely no room left on the grim white candle, Lu Xuan reluctantly put away the Soul Lantern.

“The Yin Soul Resentment required for the early growth of the Yin Cry Wood is ready.”

“It’s my duty as a Sky Sword Monk to purify the environment of the forbidden area.”

“Lu XuanYi said righteously, finding a perfect reason for himself.”

After sweeping away all nearby demon beast Yin Souls, he returned to the hall where the Bald Monk was.

“Junior Brother Lu, a special demon beast will be sent here later. If you’re interested, you can stay a little longer.”

The bald monk continued processing things while saying to Lu Xuan.

“Alright, Brother Blood Slaughter.”

Lu Xuan walked over and observed the handling methods of the bald monk.

After waiting for half an hour, the fifth-rank Old Fox slowly walked into the stone hall. Behind it was a strangely shaped demon beast corpse floating in the air.

The demon beast seemed to be stitched together from two completely different bodies. The head was that of a hideous giant tiger, and even with its eyes closed tightly, one could feel its terrifying power.

Below the head was the long body of a demon snake, with faint black light glittering on its dark green scales, seemingly extremely hard.

The junction of the two parts was extremely harmonious and natural, as if they were born in this form.

The Old Fox glanced at Lu Xuan standing aside, remained silent, threw the Tiger-Headed Snake Monster corpse to the Bald Monk, and withdrew without saying a word.

“Brother Blood Slaughter, this demon beast corpse is… ”

After a while, Lu Xuan came to the bald monk.

He looked at the Tiger-Headed Snake Demon Beast corpse, with a trace of excitement in his eyes. The dark red chain on his hipbone swayed lightly, and the Demon Head Blade, about one zhang long, was tightly held in his hand, cutting the corpse into sections.

“Junior Brother, don’t be surprised. This is just a failed experimental material, no different from other normal demon beast corpses.”

The bald monk cracked a smile.

“I see, this is the first time I’ve seen such an abnormal demon beast, I was a little curious,” he said.

Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.

“There are quite a number of experiments conducted on various types of demon beasts, ferocious beasts, and even evil beasts within the forbidden land, mainly divided into three types.”

“One is quite common, purely for breeding, using various methods for them to mate with each other. After rounds of experiments, we see if bloodline of stronger demon beast species can be obtained.”

“This experimental method usually takes a relatively long period, needing quite a long time to achieve results, if one wants to cultivate a new type of demon beast species with a superior bloodline, it could take even several decades or a century.”

Lu Xuan nodded in understanding, recalling the Fourth Grade Lion Bird Beast he had once tamed.

It had merged two powerful bloodlines, and its appearance was similar to this tiger-headed snake monster. Although its talent was outstanding, its spiritual intelligence was below average.

“Another method is the purification and fusion of bloodlines, directly collecting the essence blood of different demon beasts, inducing and catalyzing them through special spiritual objects to experiment if they can fuse together, seeing if their spiritual nature remains unchanged or even becomes stronger.”

“This method has a lower success rate, higher costs, but the experiment time is relatively much shorter.”

“The last type is more simple and crude, just like this now dead demon beast.”

“During these experiments, attempts are made to transplant and stitch their different bodies together, to see whether the spiritual power and strength of their flesh and blood are mutually exclusive. This often has an extremely high mortality rate.”

Although the bald monk appeared bloody, his temperament was extremely affable, patiently explaining to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan nodded in realization.

“Were all the experiments on the demon beasts within the forbidden land carried out by that Spirit Beast predecessor we just met?”

“Correct, that predecessor is the renowned Qingqiu Fox Demon within the Fox Clan, who was saved many years back by a Primordial Infant Old Ancestor of our sect and brought back to our sect.”

“She has the authority to freely dispose of the demon beasts and ferocious beasts within the forbidden land.”

The bald monk responded.

“Won’t those experiments concerning the ferocious and evil beasts contravene the precepts of our sect?”

“Considering we are one of the Orthodox Sects, conducting such inhumane experiments in secret, if word gets out, it may damage the sect’s reputation?”

Lu Xuan voiced his concerns.

“These were just some ferocious and evil beasts, it is their good fortune to contribute a little to the sect prior to their death.”

The bald monk said with a cold sneer, his words hinting at a clear deviation from the righteous path.

“Saying things like this, it’s no wonder that Brother, you’ve been confined to the forbidden land for over a hundred years.”

Lu Xuan muttered silently to himself.

“However, despite my lack of skills, I coincidentally belong to the same type as you.”

He added another sentence.

Although he was kind to others and did not actively harm others, adhering strictly to the sect’s rules, he had an extremely flexible moral line.

For things like weird spiritual plants or demons like the Spirit of Flesh that ordinary Righteous Path Cultivators avoid, they did not feel strange to him.

No matter what type of Spirit Plant it was, as long as it could produce a light cluster, it was a good Spirit Plant.

As long as he did not do anything rebellious during the cultivation process, that was enough.

The demon beast experiments in the forbidden land opened up a new path for him.
