Chapter 49: Chapter 48: When the Pine Nuts Ripen_l

Translator: 549690339

In the heart of Linyang Market.

In a dimly lit room, seven or eight babies were scrambling around.

The babies had an abnormal bluish-black hue, with dark energy seeping out from their bodies occasionally. Their tiny limbs, sharp teeth, and protruding eyes gave them a fierce appearance.

They possessed agility and speed that didn't match their physical form. Whenever they ran into each other, they'd engage in brutal bites, emitting venomous screams of pain that could induce a throbbing headache.

In the corner of the room, two pretty young girls sat quietly. They said nothing, yet a slight smile on their faces conveyed a kind of maternal radiance.

Both girls sported erupted bellies, much like big leather balls. The belly of one girl was highlighted with a huge crack, through which an a bulging, greyish-white eyeball would occasionally glance at the outside world, seemingly ready to crawl out from the stomach.

“Who? Who canned my beloved Demon Baby?”

A cultivator sat upright on a bed made of ice in the room, enveloped in a dense cloud of resentment. From time to time, faced etched in pain silently wailed as they emerged from this cloud.

The seven or eight babies who were originally brawling in the room instantly quieted down, still as cicadas in winter, seemingly terrified by this person.

The two women in the corner still maintained their smiles, motionless, as the greyish-white eyeball slowly retreated back inside the cracked abdomen.

“With this, the odds of me successfully refining the Demon Baby Pill have decreased. Damn.”

The cultivator's cloud of resentment continued to rise, echoing his anger.

He'd been at the Perfect Qi Training stage for quite some time and had attempted to break through the Foundation Establishment phase twice, but both attempts ended in failure.

By chance, from a secret land, he discovered an evil method to refine Demon Baby Pills. After ingesting the pills that were made, the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage would increase by one or two percent.

Following the procedures recorded in the evil method, he collected hundreds of resentful spirits, condensed them into a Demon Baby Fetus, then found more than ten young girls. Through a secret technique, he controlled them and implanted the Demon Baby Fetus into their bodies.

Then, by various means, he sold them off. When a target cultivator indulged in a moment of pleasure, the Demon Baby Fetus would silently integrate into their bodies.

Because the Demon Baby Fetus is a peculiar treasure, the fusion process enhances the cultivator's internal spiritual energy, giving them the illusion of massive cultivation growth, thus making them even more committed to dual cultivation.

Once the Baby Demon Fetus completely fuses with the cultivator, it seizes an appropriate opportunity to absorb all of the cultivator's spiritual power and essence, turning into a Demon Baby.

After reducing the cultivator to a dry corpse, the Demon Baby would break out of the body and return to the young girl's body, using her to conceal the evil aura and secretly return to his residence.

The entire process remains extremely covert. When the Demon Baby Fetus merges into the cultivator's body, ordinary Evil Banishing Talisman and magic artifacts struggle to detect anomalies. Only in the brief moment when it breaks out of the body does it emit a tiny bit of qi.

Unless someone is constantly vigilant, this small abnormality usually goes unnoticed.

However, despite his caution, a Demon Baby was discovered and killed, which decreased his chances of successfully condensing a Demon Baby Pill and made his advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage more difficult.

For him, this is akin to a deep hatred.

“It seems I need to find a few more young female Qi Practitioners, implant the Demon Baby Fetus in their bodies, and release them into the black market to be bought by cultivators.”

“But with a Demon Baby being discovered, it probably won't be as smooth as the first time.”

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a burning rage. His resentment seemed to take a physical form, frightening the seven or eight Demon Babies into immobility.

In the courtyard.

With the threat of Wang Shan's evil spirit gone, Lu Xuan felt much more at ease, focusing entirely on nurturing the numerous spirit plants in his Spirit Field.

After the unexpected emergence of the evil spirit, the Enforcement Hall has been extremely strict in monitoring his area, frequently performing inspections and being very cautious about the entry and

exit of cultivators in the region.

However, this doesn't greatly affect Lu Xuan. After all, he mostly stays in the courtyard, cultivating spiritual plants and occasionally playing with the Cloud Leopard and Red-bearded Carp.

He paid slight attention to the cultivators from the Enforcement Hall who came for inspections. Among the ten or more middle-stage Qi Practitioners, Tan Xiao Dong was noticeably absent. Lu Xuan concluded that he was probably implicated due to the information disclosed in the last report.

At this thought, his mood elevated, planting in the Spirit Field gave him a sense of utmost satisfaction.

In the early morning, the thin layer of mist had yet to disperse.

A three-foot-tall Grass Puppet emerged from the mist after patrolling the Spirit Field tirelessly all night, with its wispy dry grass slightly dampened from the mist.

“What a wonderful worker you are…”

Lu Xuan, carrying a white jade thin neck bottle, exclaimed leisurely and then entered the Spirit Field, stopping at the edge of the Spirit Spring.

Seeing his familiar figure, the three fat, red-bearded carps, thinking they were about to feed on strange worms, flapped their tails and swam over to him.

With their six long, red whiskers trailing along like six red ribbons, bouncing along in the Spiritual Spring Pool.

Lu Xuan, after scattering a handful of Spirit Rice, left them unattended and proceeded to fill the white jade thin neck bottle with half a bottle of Spirit Spring Water.

A dark shadow flashed by.

A Cloud Leopard juvenile beast leaped into the air, its paws, as white as clouds, stepped on the surface of the water, catching a red-bearded carp by the whiskers, and pulled it out of the water.

The juvenile beast skimmed across the surface, leaving only the red-bearded carp flipping in mid-air, then, in its frantic struggle, it dropped back into the spirituality pool, causing ripples to spread out.

The other two red-bearded carps, startled by this sudden event, swiftly dived to the bottom of the Spirit Spring Pool. Their frantically fast movement made the ripples on the water surface all the more intense and apparent.

In the center of the Spirit Spring Pool, the Pure Snow Lotus was swayed gently by the impact of the water waves. The delicate white lotus leaves illustrated a scene of fragility struggling against the wind.

“You rascal, causing some much trouble by catching fishes is fine, but disturbing the growth of my Pure Snow Lotus. I'll deduct a dried porcupinefish from your lunch.”

Witnessing the scene, Lu Xuan from the side, reached out to pat the sharp ears of the Cloud Leopard juvenile and threatened.

“Roar—”

Hearing that his favorite food was being deducted, the snooty juvenile beast couldn't help but let out a low growl.

If it hadn't made a sound, it would have been fine. But the moment it squeaked in that coy falsetto, Lu Xuan became more determined to deduct its dried meat.

Afterwards, he brought the Spirit Spring Water to the three Qingmiao Spirit Tea saplings, controlled the water through his spiritual power, transforming it into thin streams that flowed into the tea saplings.

Having watered the Qingmiao Tea saplings, he continued his inspection around the Spirit Field.

Separating twenty Blood Jade Ginsengs from each other which were trying to twist together.

With the rapid growth of Blood Jade Ginseng, their eagerness to be close to each other had also strengthened. This time, if Lu Xuan hadn't stopped it, a dozen of the Blood Jade Ginseng could have tangled together.

A large scale group ginseng movement had almost taken place.

After separating the Blood Jade Ginseng, he cast two Golden Sword Techniques on the Sword Grass, encouraging it to absorb the sharpness and intent of the sword.

Under the wooden shed was the Dark Marrow Mushroom. He adjusted the position of the decayed spiritual wood, so it was better able to absorb the decayed spiritual power within it.

Next, he located the Phantom Smoke Fruit hidden in the dense white fog. Over the past few days, the range of smoke around it had expanded somewhat.

In the end, he arrived in front of the soon-to-be ripe Red Cloud Pine, focusing his mind on its branches and leaves.

“Huh, one of the pine nuts is matured?”

A thought flashed through his mind, Lu Xuan exclaimed in surprise..
