Chapter 256: Blood Scourge Flower: Let me have a Sip 1

The treasure exchange was drawing to a close.
Lu Xuan quietly sat in a secluded corner, contemplating the gains and losses from this exchange.
He had spent a piece of fourth-grade Scarlet Firmament Jade, a fourth-grade Cloud Mountain Jade Slip, a third-grade Sword Nurturing Gourd, and a third- grade Explosion Bead.
As for his gains, he had acquired a section of fourth-grade Phantom Sound Bamboo Root Knot, an unknown Blood Ball Seed, and a Wooden Wholehearted Devil manufactured by a Golden Core Real Person.
Oh, I almost forgot, I also got five hundred Spirit Stones.”
“The small Loose Cultivator who used to fret over a Broken Spirit now seems to take a huge sum of five hundred Spirit Stones lightly.” Reflecting on all these, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.
His life in the Cultivation World was completely turned around after the White Light Cluster appeared from the tiny Spirit Field in the Market.
He, as a small Qi Cultivator, could never have imagined that five hundred Spirit Stones would be of little importance to him now.
He collected his thoughts and continued to ruminate.
“I have quite a few duplicate treasures on hand right now. I have four pieces of the Scarlet Firmament Jade left, two of the three Sword Nurturing Gourds I had harvested, three shares of Hundred-Year Ice Spirit, as well as a number of Explosion Beads, Dan of Burning Element, and other odds and ends.”
It seems that I need to find an opportunity to get rid of some.”
Judging from its appearance, the Blood Ball Seed was not an ordinary Spirit Plant. Coupled with the possibility that it could be used to nurture the Holy Baby Fruit with the Wood Infant, Lu Xuan decided to visit the Sword Sect Town Small Courtyard in the near future to check on the underworld Spiritual Plants that he had neglected for a long time.
After the meeting was over, Lu Xuan called on a tall Spirit Crane and quickly returned to his own mountain peak.
He couldn’t wait to inspect the two new Spirit Seeds he had acquired. Lu Xuan arrived at an empty Spirit Field, performed the Earth Pulling Technique, and the structure beneath the Spirit Soil changed naturally. A round pit appeared in the middle of the Spirit Field.
He took out from his storage bag the Phantom Sound Bamboo Root Knot covered in numerous cracks and buried it in the pit.
Noises came to his ears, causing Lu Xuan’s motions to pause for a moment. When he isolated the sound with his Spiritual Power, his movements became smooth and natural once again.
When all the root knots were completely covered with Spirit Soil, the strange noises in his ears ceased abruptly.
Lu Xuan focused his Spiritual Sense on the Glaze Jade Bamboo under the Spirit Soil, and a piece of information flashed through his mind.
[Phantom Sound Bamboo, fourth-grade Spirit Plant, adept at imitating all sounds in the world. When mature, it can emit various effective mystical sounds for attack, deception, healing, etc. It is a natural material for crafting bamboo flute magical items and can also be used for other special magic instruments.]
[When a sound source stays near the Phantom Sound Bamboo for a long time, the plant can produce a sound of the same quality, identical to the original.] [The Bamboo has a ventriloquist in it.]
“Spirit Plant Masters no longer need to enter the fields?”
Lu Xuan mumbled to himself.
Mature Phantom Sound Bamboo can produce all kinds of mystical sounds… Hmm, it s a jack-of-all-trades, master of none.”
However, it’s an incredibly rare species, so this was a good deal.” His Spiritual Power was surging, strands of Spirit Rain dripped down, permeating into the cracks on the Phantom Sound Bamboo Root Knot. Upon being stimulated by the Spirit Rain, the countless cracks of various sizes on the root hairs opened all at once, and a cacophony of strange noises came to Lu Xuan’s ears, making him feel a little annoyed and flustered.

At this moment, a slender grey vine suddenly crawled out from somewhere spreading numerous tentacle-like thin little vines that reached into the Spirit Soil.????????????? r
As soon as the Demonic Vine sensed the appearance of a new high-grade Spiritual Plant on the mountain peak, it immediately came over, leaving a marker to see if it would have the chance to devour it in the future.
The Demonic Vine, a fifth-rank creature that feeds on Spirit Plants, gave the Illusion Sound Bamboo’s roots the feeling of an imminent predator. Numerous slits on its surface stayed sealed tight, regardless of the gentle jostling from the tiny vine’s movements.
“I’m sorry, I was a bit too loud!”
Lu Xuan sensed this immediate reaction from the Illusion Sound Bamboo’s roots.
The Demonic Vine secreted a tiny amount of gray mucus onto the roots then withdrew from the Spirit Soil, slightly embarrassed, it nudged Lu Xuan’s foot. “Daring to toy with my Spirit Plant on my watch, huh?”
The Spirit Plant Master standing helplessly off to the side, can only watch as his Spirit Plant is callously toyed with by the villain that snuck in…
Lu Xuan drove the familiar scene from his mind and with a swift kick, sent the Demonic Vine flying away.
Sensing the departure of the Demonic Vine, the countless slits on the Illusion Sound Bamboo’s roots all opened simultaneously. Suddenly, the familiar bizarre noise flooded Lu Xuan’s ears.
“I do seem to have grown a little used to it.”
Lu Xuan resisted the urge to summon the Demonic Vine back and messed around with his ear.
Spiritual Power automatically muted the noise, and he took out the nefarious Blood Ball Seed from his storage bag.
The seed’s exterior looked woven from several thin blood vessels that sensed the delicate blood vessels in Lu Xuan’s palm and began to wriggle as if attempting to burrow into his flesh.
Inside the hollow Blood Ball, his Spiritual Sense could detect an endless sea of blood amidst a haze. In the dense blood mist, a bloody flower endlessly cycled between blooming and withering.
With the surge of Spiritual Power, a slightly larger hole than the Blood Ball appeared on the empty part of the Spirit Field.
He placed the Blood Ball Seed into the hole; as he focused his mind, he suddenly became aware of its detailed status.
[Blood Scourge Flower, Fifth-Quality Spirit Plant, a bizarre flower forged from piles of corpses and seas of blood, it feeds on the Essence Blood of various Demon Beasts. It’s an excellent material for cultivating the Blood Path Technique when mature and also a primary ingredient in crafting some fifth-grade elixirs.]
[When cultivators or Demon Beasts approach the Blood Scourge Flower, the blood energy within their bodies will be unwillingly absorbed. If this persists, they will become blood deficient, and their bodies will wither. ]
[Give me a puff! Please! Just a small one!]
“A fifth-rank Spirit Plant!”
“We’ve got ourselves a treasure!”
Upon seeing the Blood Ball Seed, Lu Xuan had instantly noticed its extraordinary nature, yet everything remained unknown before planting.
Now, with the seed box opened, it turned out to be a Fifth-Quality Spirit Plant!
‘If I can’t find an unknown Spirit Seed in the Sect, that’s fine, once found, it’s no ordinary Spirit Plant.”
“The Thorn Bone, Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree I’ve obtained before, and now
the Blood Scourge Flower, are all the same.”
“But, they do share a common trait; they’re all Yin malevolent Spirit Plants. It’s rare to see them in Orthodox Sects, so their being undiscovered by other Cultivators is understandable.”
Lu Xuan dug out the Blood Scourge Flower Spirit Seed from the Spirit Soil.
This kind of Underworld Spirit Plant is best planted in the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town.
After all, being a peaceful and average Spirit Plant Master in an upright Sect, it wouldn’t be good if the other disciples discovered that he was cultivating such Yin malevolent Spirit Plants.
“I currently have three Fifth-Quality Spirit Plants, but they all seem somewhat dubious.”
‘One feeds on Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts, another one acts as bait to hook people in, trying to reel me in, and the newly acquired Blood Scourge Flower wants to consume my Essence Blood, even aiming to absorb my blood energy. ” Thinking about the Demonic Vine, the Holy Baby Fruit Offspring Plant, and the Blood Scourge Flower- these three unorthodox Spirit Plants, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but look a bit helpless.
