I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 352: Chapter 350: Gluttonous Color Insect_l

A moment later, the three of them arrived at a massive mountain range.

The mountain range extends and undulates, with peaks overlapping one another.

“Brother Zhong’s mansion is so big!”

Lu Xuan looked around, exclaiming in marvel.

“Spirit Beasts do not compare to Spirit Plants, they have a greater range of activity. Moreover, I am nurturing some special Spirit Beasts given to me by the sect within, thus the need to occupy this mountain range alone.

The burly cultivator opened the formation while explaining to Lu Xuan and Liu

Su.

The three of them raced through the mountains of Spirit Wood and quickly arrived at a narrow mountain valley.

There is a deep, bottomless ravine in the valley, from which bursts of thunder occasionally echo.

“We’ve arrived, Junior Brother Lu wait a moment, I’ll call out the Yin Beasts. The burly cultivator turned and uttered a strange low growl towards the ravine. Very soon, two Spirit Beasts broke out from the water and landed in front of the three people.

“This is the pair of fourth-grade Chiyin Beasts. They weren’t easy to come by,

so I am extremely keen to restore them to normal.”

“Junior Brother Lu, please assist us.”

“Lu Someone will do his best to help Brother Xiao solve the problem.”

Lu Xuan said this as he set his sights on the two Chiyin beasts.

The Chiyin beasts resembled tigers and leopards, with black bodies and dense black mysterious water surrounding them. They had a white horn on their heads, and thunderous sounds could occasionally be heard from within, making them look very mystical.

“Truly worthy of a fourth grade Spirit Beast.”

Lu Xuan commented casually, pointing to the one closest to him.

“This Chiyin Beast is the female one, right?”

The pointed Chiyin Beast appeared battered, with ragged fur and numerous scars of all sizes. Part of its forelimb was even missing.

Although it seemed to be in a precarious condition, it was extremely intimate with the male beast, issuing a lingering roar and always wanting to get closer to the male beast.

“Even in such condition, it still licks?

Lu Xuan was surprised by the female beast’s attitude towards the male beast.

“If it continues like this, it will eventually be devoured by the male beast, leaving itself with absolutely nothing.”

“Brother Zhong, have you taken these two Chiyin Beasts to any Secret Lands or ruins recently?”

He asked curiously.

“About half a year ago, I brought them into a ruin. That ruin seems to have an unusual connection with the Secret School.

Zhong Hao recalled and replied.

“Perhaps it has something to do with that. But this is just my speculation. Brother, please allow the two Chiyin Beasts to display their abnormal behavior in front of me, so that I can observe.”

Lu Xuan said seriously.

The burly cultivator did not doubt him and controlled the two Chiyin Beasts to approach each other.

The female Beast’s sound became more and more entangled and melodious. It clung tightly to the other male Beast, extending its tender tongue, and gently licked every part of the male Beast’s body.

The male beast presumably understood that it might cause significant harm to the female beast, rejecting the female beast’s advances and trying to keep its distance. However, under Zhong Hao’s control, it had no choice but to stay put and let the female beast do as she pleased.

Slowly, under the continuous provocation of the female Beast, the male Beast responded, starting to mimic the female Beast’s actions.

Lu Xuan keenly observed that as the male Beast’s passions rose, its pair of eyes gradually turned pink, and its gaze became unfocused.

The two beasts became more and more intense.

Lu Xuan, holding an extremely objective mindset, watched the scene of this fierce battle expressionlessly.

Suddenly, the male beast, unable to control his desires, bit heavily onto the body of the female Beast.

The biting became more violent and suddenly, a large chunk of fur was bitten off the female Beast, leaving a bloody wound.

“That will do.”

Lu Xuan nodded at the burly cultivator, who promptly separated the intertwined beasts at the sight.

The male beast seemed to have completely lost its sanity and tried its best to get back to the female during the separation process.

Despite being injured by the male beast, the female beast didn’t seem to care much, gazing resentfully at the male beast moving further and further away from her.

“Does Junior Brother Lu have any findings?

After stopping the two beasts from continuing their mating, the burly monk came to Lu Xuan and asked with a worried tone.

“The male beast must have been invaded by some entity. However, since it wasn’t detected by the Guardian Beast when it entered the Sect, it’s likely not anything particularly evil.”

Lu Xuan had read quite a few books on nurturing spirit beasts in the Scripture Treasury Pavilion and hypothesized based on those records.

“That’s what I thought too, but our biggest problem right now is that we have no leads concerning the entity inside the male beast, and hence no way to begin solving this.”

The burly cultivator nodded in agreement.

“I need Brother Zhong to give me some of the usual food for nurturing the Chiyin Beast. I want to see if I can find anything from the male beast’s eating habits.”

Lu Xuan said to the burly monk. Since he couldn’t solve this problem through personal experience, he would have to resort to additional aids.

Zhong Hao took out a black elixir pill and handed it to Lu Xuan.

“This pill is filled with a slight water and thunder spiritual power. It’s usually used to nurture the Chiyin Beast.”

Lu Xuan tookthe black pill, and after the male beast gradually calmed down, he stuffed the pill into its mouth.

His mind focused on the Chiyin Beast, a piece of information flashed through

his mind.

[Chiyin Beast, fourth-grade spirit beast, innately proficient in water and thunder formula methods.]

[Invaded by the Gluttonous Color Insect, it harbors the desire to swallow its mate during copulation.]

Maybe it was due to the Gluttonous Color Insect inside the Chiyin Beast getting some nourishment from the pill, Lu Xuan was able to detect detailed information about the so-called Gluttonous Color Insect as well.

[Gluttonous Color Insect, strange worm, spawned and separated by powerful cultivators of the Secret School who cultivate the Joyful Zen. After entering the bodies of cultivators or demon beasts, their form gradually fades, turning into an existence like desire. When the target experiences lust, it slowly manipulates the target, making them lose control and consume the flesh of their mating partner to strengthen the Gluttonous Color Insect itself.] [Can use treasures that produce intense lust to solidify the Gluttonous Color Insect and lure it out.]

“So it was this thing causing trouble…”

Lu Xuan digested the information appearing in his mind, lamenting.

“Knowing this, it’s actually easy to lure it out. I do have a few things that can produce strong lust.”

He pondered for a moment before speaking to the burly cultivator.

“Brother Zhong, I think I have a little clue. I seem to have read about a similar situation in a certain scripture.”

“This male Chiyin Beast appears to have been invaded by a Gluttonous Color Insect, which is why it reacted abnormally when mating with the female beast.” “Gluttonous Color Insect?”

Zhong Hao and Liu Su both showed looks of confusion, completely unaware of the Gluttonous Color Insect.

“It’s an extremely rare insect beast. It has no real offensive power and comes from…”

Lu Xuan began to explain the origins of the Gluttonous Color Insect to them in detail.

“So that’s how it is. Does Junior Brother Lu have a way to solve this?

Lu Xuan muttered in his mind:

“There are ways, but either the Desire-Bewitching Pill or the Bliss Sutra, how can I show my face to my peers after taking them out?’

He felt somewhat hesitant.

“If Junior Brother can help me solve this Chiyin Beast problem, this fourth-grade Thunderstone containing a large amount of the power of thunder and lightning will be yours.”

The burly cultivator pulled out a thundering spirit ore and said.

“Brother, I have a plan that we could try.”

Lu Xuan, without revealing anything, glanced at the spirit ore and said.
