Chapter 570: Chapter 568 Illusion_1
“Junior brother, you sneak around from this side, and I’ll go behind that person. Look for my signal, we’ll attack at the same time.”
In the midst of the thunder and lightning, a voice as thin as a mosquito’s buzzed.
“Alright, I didn’t expect to encounter such a fat sheep today. He actually came to the Thunder Sea by himself.”
A slightly excited voice rang out.
Lu Xuan, hidden by his Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe, wasn’t accurately assessable to the two men. But judging from the area he was operating, it was unlikely he was a powerful cultivator.
Due to their ability to hide their forms within lightning with the Thunder Escape Secret Law, the two often ambushed and killed other cultivators in the Thunder Sea to acquire their cultivation resources.
Under a combined sneak attack, even a Foundation Establishment Late-term Cultivator might die at their hands. As a result, when they saw Lu Xuan alone, they decided to take another shot.
In the lightning, faint ripples spread out, and the two, one ahead and one behind, blocked Lu Xuan’s path.
“Now!”
The Foundation Establishment Late-term Cultivator produced a faint signal and both men attacked Lu Xuan simultaneously.
Under the torrential onslaught, Lu Xuan revealed an expression of terror, seemingly accepting his fate of impending death.
In an instant, his terrified expression abruptly transformed into a sly smile.
“Something’s wrong, this person is a decoy!”
The Foundation Establishment Late-term Cultivator sensed something amiss with their prey and shouted out a warning.
But it was already too late.
A large grey eyeball popped out of a narrow crevice, staring emotionlessly at the two men.
Illusions began to proliferate in their sea of consciousness, making them feel a momentary stupor.
In that brief moment, Lu Xuan’s figure shattered like a mirror. A talisman shaped like a sword tip appeared before the two men.
As they regained their senses, the talisman unleashed a torrent of endless minuscule Sword Qi, engulfing them like a raging tidal wave.
Soon, they were swallowed by the endless Sword Qi and perished, leaving behind two bodies full of sword wounds.
Lu Xuan floated in mid-air, swept across with his spiritual sense, and confirmed that the two were completely dead before slowly descending.
Upon noticing their ill intentions, he had decided to deal with them.
When he sensed the two trying to sneak attack him, he couldn’t resist playing a little prank. He left behind a Roaring Sea Sword Charm, controlled the Void Nightmare Eye, and used an illusion to make the charm look like himself. Then, he quietly ascended into the sky with the aid of the Qing Helved Shoes magical tool.
Just by using a single Fourth-grade Sea Screaming Sword Seal, he effortlessly took care of the two ambushers.
He smoothly took out his Soul Lantern from his storage bag, activated it with his spiritual power and the spectral candle lit up instantly within the human skin lamp cover, forcing the many Yin Soul resentments below to squeeze closer together.
Two souls floated out of the corpses, stupefied and devoid of spiritual intelligence. As they approached the Soul Lantern, they seemed to sense their fate and tried to break away from the lantern and escape far away.
Countless dark red lamp wicks, like tendrils from the base of the lantern, swayed gently. They shot out like lightning, pulling the two souls into the Soul Lantern.
“Gained two more powerful Yin Souls for the Yin Cry Wood and Burning Soul Flower to feast on.”
Lu Xuan carefully put away the Soul Lantern and collected the damaged corpses into his storage bag.
“To think that a once benevolent Righteous Path Cultivator has sunk so low, to do such things, just to cultivate spiritual plants. It’s quite lamentable.”
Lu Xuan sighed and casually picked up the storage bags dropped by the two cultivators on the ground.
Breaking the simple ban on the storage bags, he infused spiritual power and took out the many items inside.
Over four hundred middle-grade spirit stones, some low-grade spirit stones, more than ten bottles of various elixirs, a lot of second and third-grade charms, and a few four-level magical tools.
However, the quality was average and far from matching the four-level magical tools Lu Xuan had, so he wasn’t interested in keeping them and planned to sell them all for spirit stones.
“As expected of tribulation cultivators, ordinary loose cultivators wouldn’t have such wealth.”
“Unfortunately, they spent all day hunting geese but ended up being pecked by a goose. They encountered me with a Void Nightmare Eye and powerful spiritual sense.”
“A single success can yield a lot of spirit stones and resources, but a single failure means paying with their lives.”
Lu Xuan said with a faint smile.
He had spent a significant portion of his wealth to rent the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave. He didn’t expect generous cultivators to deliver aid so soon after his arrival here.
“There are quite a few kind-hearted cultivators in Heavenly Star Cave.”
“It’d be great if there were a few more cultivators like them.”
Lu Xuan leisurely left the outskirts of the Thunder Sea, but unfortunately, he did not encounter any similar experiences. He found it too troublesome to act as a robber himself and returned to the dwelling.
His trip had been quite rewarding. He had collected more than ten Spirit Thunders, so he would not have to worry about the Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit not being fully nourished for a short period of time.
Furthermore, he had obtained a large number of spirit stones and some magical tools and elixirs from the two tribulation cultivators. All he paid was a fourth-grade Roaring Sea Sword Charm.
He still had fifty to sixty sword charms left, and he had obtained the method of condensing seeds in the sword nurturing gourd, which allowed him to mass cultivate for a long time. He would only worry about having too many leftovers.
As soon as he entered the dwelling, the spirit beasts came to greet him, relaxing Lu Xuan, who had been on tenterhooks in the Thunder Sea.
After calming the spirit beasts, he went to the core area of the spirit field.
In the Wu Spirit Soil, the seed of the Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit was buried. Threads of thunder releasing power and the constant crackling sound on the surrounding spirit seeds could all be heard.
“I can begin cultivating this sixth-grade spiritual plant.”
Lu Xuan’s lips curled upwards, he could not wait to take out a jade box from his storage bag, tear open the forbidden charm on the outside, and pinch a crimson thunder bead in his hand.
Fine, hair-like crimson thunder surged on the surface of the bead. It could be seen that it was highly unstable due to the expansion and collapse of thunder at its minute locations.
Lu Xuan took a deep breath, infused his spiritual sense into it, and a red thunder shot out from the bead in a moment, quickly entering the deep purple spiritual seed in the spirit soil.
Through his acute spiritual sense, he noticed a faint sign of life in the spiritual seed, which shook like a flower of thunder.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan smiled with satisfaction, did the same thing again, and extracted strands of red thunder from the bead and introduced them into the Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit spiritual seed.
When he felt that the spiritual seed was saturated, he carefully kept the now half its original size crimson thunder bead.
“The sixth-grade spiritual plant, Phoenix Wood, is going to mature soon. The cultivation of Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit has started, and with the Thunder Sea in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, there is currently no need to worry about the subsequent cultivation problems.”
“Then there’s the Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Wood. I can’t find a suitable environment for it yet, but with many powerful sects in the Central State Continent, which is a cultivation paradise in the Cloud Void Domain, the chances of finding it should be higher.”
“Finally, there is the Logusedemon Bone Demon Seed. There is no clue at all. Should I find a demonic monster as the cultivation carrier?”
Lu Xuan pondered in his heart and decided to take one step at a time and let nature take its course.
