The thoughts in his mind disappeared, and a strangely eerie flag appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
The flag was a dark black, as if it was intertwined and stirred with endless amounts of filth, as though a mere touch would leave oneâs mind and body filthy and tainted.
Oneâs head would feel dizzy and swollen upon looking at it, and a stench of evil would surge out from the flag, so dense that it almost felt tangible.
Lu Xuan held his breath, focusing his mind on this dirty flag, and quickly understood the detailed information about it.
[The Wan Hui Banner, a fifth-grade magical artifact, refined from tens of thousands of different types of filth and corrupt energy in the world. It possesses a strong contaminating power, capable of polluting a cultivatorâs flesh and soul, and can also taint low-grade magical treasures, leading to a significant decrease in their spiritual nature.]
âA fifth-grade magical artifact!â
Delight sprang up in Lu Xuanâs heart. The Filthy Bug Grass was a fourth grade, yet it could produce a fifth-grade magical artifact, which already exceeded his expectations. He guessed that it was because he had a low cultivation level when he planted it, hence the cross-grade growth.
âAlthough its function is single, it has excellent effects, capable of polluting a cultivatorâs body and soul. You can say it is quite sinister.â
Once a cultivatorâs body and soul were tainted, the likelihood of them mutating would greatly increase. Additionally, it would essentially cut off any hopes of advancing to a higher realm, unless they could find a treasure capable of purifying the filth.
âIt can also taint the spiritual nature of magical treasures, not bad at all. Regrettably, I probably wonât be able to use it for now.â
Those who possess magical treasures are at least Golden Core Real People. With Lu Xuanâs cautious nature, the possibility of bumping into one face on is extremely low. So, the chances of him using this Wan Hui Banner are very slim.
Lu Xuan did not fancy observing this queer artifact filled with filth for much longer. Afraid of dirtying his hands if he held it for too long, he quickly sealed it away in a specially-designed container, slipping it into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
He moved in front of the Strange Longevity Peach in the middle of the yard.
A single spirit peach grew on the plant. The spirit peach was pure and flawless, and a rich milky scent stimulated his senses, seemingly beckoning for Lu Xuan to taste it.
If it werenât for the bones beneath the spirit soil, one could be easily deceived by this sight into thinking it was some sort of rare, harmless spirit fruit.
Lu Xuan pulled out a green lingzhu, absorbing and integrating the rich and pure vegetative spiritual energy within his dantianâs light green energy cluster.
With the supplement of Qingmu Origin Energy, the light green energy cluster slightly rotated, strands of light green spiritual energy infiltrating the Strange Longevity Peach.
After a while, the faint, pleasingly white spirit peach hidden among the leaves grew increasingly attractive. The rich milky smell lingered in the surrounding air, inducing a sense of closeness in anyone who caught a whiff.
In Lu Xuanâs spiritual sense, the numerous demon beastâs flesh and blood under the root stalk dried up rapidly, as if they had been aired for thousands of years, leaving only dry, darkened meat. All the blood essence had been absorbed by the Strange Longevity Peach.
The root and the branches of the Strange Longevity Peach continuously pumped vitality into the spirit fruit. Slowly, they turned ash-gray, gradually crumbling in the chilling wind.
Upon looking closely, the semi-transparent progress bar beneath the plant was completely filled.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan carefully picked the pure white spirit peach, focusing his senses on it and instantaneously understanding its detailed information.
[The Strange Longevity Peach, a fifth-grade spirit plant, is an aberration of the Longevity Pan Peach and matures by feeding on the essence of the demon beastâs flesh and blood.]
[Upon maturity, a cultivator who eats the spirit peach will add several years to decades of lifespan, depending on the cultivatorâs cultivation level. At the same time, a certain amount of odd energy will accumulate in the body of the person who ingests it. As one absorbs the essence of the peach, this odd energy will accumulate more and more. Once it reaches a critical point, it will cause the cultivator or demon beast to run the risk of mutation.]
âA spirit fruit that can extend oneâs lifespan!â
Lu Xuan couldnât help but exclaim in his heart. For cultivators facing the impending end of their life, this could be considered the most precious treasure. No matter the cost, they would try their best to acquire one, allowing them to live a few more years.
As for the negative effects, when a person is about to die, they would not care about such things.
He surveyed the vibrant spirit peach in front of him, and couldnât help remarking.
âIf it werenât for the odd energy it produces, swallowing this Strange Longevity Peach would be quite nice.â
âHowever, I still have plenty of lifespan left. I hope to reach the Golden Core state, which will add several hundred years to my life, so thereâs no need to rush to eat this Strange Longevity Peach.â
Lu Xuan planned to keep this spirit peach for now, to see if he could maximize its benefits.
His gaze was drawn to the white light group quietly appearing above the plant.
The light group flickered slightly, looking particularly conspicuous in the Underworld Court.
Lu Xuan extended his hand to gently touch the surface of the light group. The light group silently exploded, transforming into a light ball filled with a rich sense of life, which was absorbed into his body.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A thought emerged in his mind.
[Harvested a Five-Grade Strange Life-Longevity Peach, obtained Six-Product Treasure Tai Suiâs Meat.]
As the thought flashed, a piece of green meat appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
The piece of meat was the size of a babyâs head, gently contracting and expanding, akin to breathing, and felt warm in his hands.
Lu Xuanâs consciousness focused on the green piece of meat, immediately understanding detailed information about it.
[Tai Suiâs Meat, Six-Product Treasure, the essence of the demonic spirit Tai Sui. Consumption will increase the consumerâs lifespan, enhance physical strength, and greatly boost self-recovery abilities.]
âTai Suiâs Meat?â
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Xuanâs eyes.
âI donât know what kind of background this Tai Sui has, however, judging by its information, it should have hundreds of benefits and no harm to the consumer.â
âEat it!â
Why hold onto a treasure that can increase lifespan, enhance physical strength, and self-recovery abilities without consuming it?
He made a decision immediately, without hesitation, and swallowed the green piece of meat.
After a few big bites, Tai Suiâs Meat cracked into a few pieces, which flowed into Lu Xuanâs body.
A warm breath flowed through his limbs and bones, five internal organs, making him feel like a furnace, with his vitality reaching a peak.
âHuh â¦â
Lu Xuan took a deep breath, a white breath shot out like an arrow, and wherever it passed, the strong vitality made the wandering Yin Souls in the yard evade.
âThe vitality of my flesh body has improved further, as expected of a Six-Product Treasureâ
Life span, self-recovery ability is not easy to verify, but Lu Xuan can roughly feel the changes within his body, extremely satisfied.
âMaturing this Five-Grade Strange Longevity Peach consumed four Nascent Soul Grass Orbs.â
âThis is under the premise that it has been planted for many years, absorbing a large amount of Demon Beastâs Flesh and Blood essence. If it was stimulated to maturity from the beginning directly with the Nascent Soul Grass Orb, the number of Nascent Soul Grass Orbs required at least tenfold, not including other growth conditions required.â
Lu Xuan looked around at the other spirit plants in the Underworld Court, couldnât help but sigh.
The method of quick maturity is good to use, but the consumption of the Nascent Soul Grass Orbs is terrifying, it can only be used in special periods to stimulate certain spirit plants that are about to mature, to harvest the reward of the light group.
He came in front of the Light Red Meat Balls, and said softly:
âFor some time, Iâll put you into a special space, you just behave and donât harm the things inside.â
âWait until after youâre let out, and Iâll give you a buffet of the freshest demon beast flesh and blood.â
Lu Xuan promised the newly born Spirit of Flesh.
The Light Red Meat Balls rolled front and back, indicating agreement with a nod.
