Chapter 873: Hungry Ghost Behemoth
During the digestion of the Mirage Demon Skin Bag by the Colorful Corpse Skin, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the other Weird Spiritual Plants.
A rich scent of meat wafted through the Yin Qi, leading Lu Xuan toward it, where he caught sight of the Fragrant Flesh Branch inserted in a mass of flesh and blood.
Thick layers of black-red flesh and blood enveloped the branches, making it difficult to distinguish the underlying nutrients of Cultivator and Demon Beast’s Flesh and Blood without a closer look.
Not far from there, several Soul Insect Fungi were voraciously absorbing the wandering Yin Soul Resentments around them.
At the top of the Ghost Tumor Demon Wood, a hideous black tumor had grown, dripping black and yellow pus that fell to the ground, stirring up threads of foul-smelling black smoke.
“Unknowingly, the Ghost Tumor Demon Wood has also reached its mature stage,” Lu Xuan mused as he continued to patrol the Underworld Spirit Field with its Exotic Spiritual Plants.
...
The Sixth Grade Ancestral Coffin Wood had not changed much since last time, just grown slightly bigger. Its roots penetrated deep into the ground, its branches lying on the surface, resembling a delicate and small coffin.
The Blood Spring Clam Mother in the little blood pool that Lu Xuan had dug out sensed his presence and slowly drifted up from the bottom of the pool, spurting out a fountain-like stream of blood toward him.
Lu Xuan quickly took out a bottle of Upper Class Monster Beast Essence Blood from his storage bag, turning it into a slender flow of blood that surged into the body of the Blood Spring Clam Mother.
During this time, the Spirit of Flesh continued to bounce and hop behind him, completely lacking the weirdness that it exhibited against Evil Cultivators when it deployed various powerful Blood Path Technique Laws.
In the end, he arrived in front of the Seventh Grade Netherworld Undying Tree.
The Spiritual Seeds, nourished by the Hidden River Dead Water, had taken root and sprouted, growing a light yellow seedling.
The seedling appeared ordinary and not much different from ordinary Spirit Plants.
Yet when Lu Xuan focused his mind on it, he suddenly heard a faint sound of rushing water in his ears, and the phantom of a towering giant tree appeared from thin air.
Beneath the giant tree was a meandering and twisting deep river that bubbled with dark black gases, its aura similar to that of the Hidden River Dead Water by about seventy to eighty percent.
Countless large roots reached into the deep river, and numerous ghost creatures hung from the branches and leaves, adding a sense of eeriness and mystery.
“Good, the Netherworld Immortal Tree has entered its rapid growth stage,” Lu Xuan said with satisfaction, nodding his head.
“Moreover, as I expected, the Sixth Grade Ghost Eating Evil Vine has fully matured,” he finally came to an Exotic long vine.
Hovering on the vine, a Fierce Ghost circled within it, sporadically spewing out black light from its mouth. With a light coil, it swallowed a Yin Soul from afar into its belly.
Subsequently, the Yin Qi spread from the ghost’s body, seeping into the vine, seemingly nourishing the Spiritual Plant.
Although Lu Xuan had anticipated it, he still felt genuinely elated upon actually acquiring a Seventh Grade Treasure.
“Demon Yin Ghost Yu... The Sixth Grade Ghost Eating Evil Vine came from there too. They are, indeed, of the same origin.”
He mused quietly to himself.
“What’s more important is that the Hungry Ghost Behemoth, like the Ghost Eating Evil Vine, has a strong swallowing ability. The difference is that one targets ghost creatures, while the other devours everything.”
Lu Xuan sent out his Spiritual Sense, attempting to control the lifeless towering evil ghost.
After a simple consecration, with a thought from him, the Hungry Ghost Behemoth swiftly grew taller, surpassing twenty zhang in the blink of an eye, with its navel hole becoming more pronounced and appearing tremendously frightening.
“This is still just the most basic consecration. If I were to fully master this Seventh Grade Strange Treasure, it wouldn’t be difficult for this evil ghost to transform into a hundred or even a thousand zhang tall.”
Lu Xuan silently marveled.
Without hesitation, he entrusted the Seventh Grade Hungry Ghost Behemoth to the Linggu Transformation, greatly enhancing its strength in an instant.
As for the Ghost Eating Evil Vine, Lu Xuan kept it as well, for it could temporarily guard the Cave Abode when the Linggu Transformation occasionally ventured out to explore Secret Lands.
After settling all matters in the Abyss Star Cave Abode, Lu Xuan quietly returned to the Thunder Fire Star Cave.
With his heightened vigilance, he encountered no accidents along the way.
When he arrived outside his Cave Abode, he surprisingly found an acquaintance quietly waiting.
“Fellow Ye, why are you waiting outside the Cave Abode?”
“Your arm... Did you encounter some accident?”
After a preliminary inspection with his Spiritual Sense, confirming there were no abnormalities, Lu Xuan approached the person, who was none other than Ye Xuanyin.
It was evident that her condition was not very good at the moment. Her sharp features were extremely pale. Her previously neatly coiled hair, surrounded by sparks of thunder, was now disheveled and dull.
More importantly, she was missing an arm, and a dark scar had formed at the shoulder’s severed edge.
Under Lu Xuan’s gaze, it seemed as if something beneath the scar was struggling violently, and soon several black flesh sprouts began to burrow out from under the scar.
In a few breaths, they densely sprouted in large numbers, making for a most unsettling sight.
