I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

“Misfortune strikes the ones who are already suffering…”

Lu Xuan looked at the woman who had lost all control of herself, repeating her mechanical motions, as he sighed deeply within.

The scene that unfolded before them made the loose cultivators nearby deeply empathetic, their hearts filled with sorrow.

“Friend Zhang has been diligently practicing cultivation throughout his life hoping to someday break through to the Qi Practitioner Intermediate Level,’so as to improve the lives of his family. Yet who would have thought that he would meet such a fate.”

“The helpless widow and orphan he leaves behind, how can they survive in such a troubled world?”

“Let’s not think too much at present, let’s see how this Sect Senior handles this. Regardless of whether it’s the Demon Envoy’s mischief or the Song Family’s scheme, in the end, it’s us loose cultivators who will get hurt the most.”

The group whispered amongst themselves.

Lu Xuan’s spirit was in a daze, as if he saw himself still in Linyang Market. Barely at the second layer of his Qi Cultivation, he had merely mastered the basic Fireball Technique and Spirit Rain Technique, barely surviving on the fringes of the market.

For such a loose cultivator, his resistance to risks was near nil.

Good fortune like opening up new Secret Lands or finding great opportunities were not within their reach. Yet if the market encountered an invasion of demon beasts or a Demon Envoy, it would be these loose cultivators, regarded as insignificant as weeds, who would face the threats first.

Alas…

Lu Xuan looked at the woman continuously bowing and pleading for help on the ground, a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

“In this state, friend, don’t you feel pain at all?”

He suddenly asked, his voice full of concern.

“Ido not feel any pain…”

The woman lifted her head and responded instinctively.

With a ‘plop’, a handful of grey-black flesh fell from the crack in her forehead and onto the ground, rolling, looking like a strip of dried meat.

The moment she saw the dried meat, her pupils dilated dramatically, her eyes filled with disbelief.

As she stretched out her hand, intending to touch her own skin, several flashes of blood light emerged suddenly from her, piercing through her cheeks, neck and launching towards Lu Xuan like lightning.

Lu Xuan, with a cold grunt, positioned his right hand in front of him; his veins bulged, and the faint sound of a dragon’s roar echoed in the air, his bones transforming into glittering Liuli, catching all the blood-coloured light in his grasp!

The moment they made contact, Lu Xuan felt an intense sensation of tingling and itching on the skin of his wrist. It felt as if something was biting his skin, attempting to penetrate it.

However, after cultivating the “Liuli Bone-Tempering Method” and the “Transforming Dragon in the Void”, in addition to consuming the Jade Scale Fruit and Gold Marrow Jade Liquid-which strengthened his physique-his flesh had reached a terrifying level of strength. Even if foreign objects tried to bite him, they couldn’t pierce his skin in the slightest.

He firmly grabbed onto several structures resembling blood vessels and yanked them out sharply.

The woman’s cheeks and neck suddenly tore open, and the peculiar, uncanny object within her, finally came into full view in front of Lu Xuan.

The moment he arrived at the scene, Lu Xuan’s Immaculate Jade, hanging from his neck, had been alerting him. The moment he got close to the corpse the feeling of coolness intensified, as if his body was going to be frozen solid.

The woman had been leaning on the corpse the entire time. Because of this Lu Xuan had been extra cautious about her every move and had reacted at the ’ instant the blood light attempted to ambush him.

The moment the evil object inside her was pulled out by Lu Xuan, the woman felt a sudden intense feeling of deprivation, and a strong sense of dryness spread all over her body.

She looked at her husband’s corpse on the ground with a look of relief in her eyes, slowly laid down, and leaned against it.

In Lu Xuan’s hand, a grotesque blood worm writhed, attempting to attack him in every possible way.

The blood worm was akin to numerous tiny blood vessels twisted together. Holding it in hand, he could feel a sense of eerie Yin Qi. It was completely crimson.

It had two pairs of pale red, thin wings. They seemed to be adorned with faint traces of blood blossoms.

At its front, the tiny blood vessels congealed into a crimson cavity, continuously roaring towards Lu Xuan. From the rear end, numerous blood vessels were reluctantly poking out of the woman’s body, looking like tiny red tendrils, constantly fluttering in the air.

The tentacles continuously stretched, intending to envelop Lu Xuan within them.

A white charm quietly fell from Lu Xuan’s sleeve, a touch of white light appearing on its surface, a rich and pure sanctified air spread out.

This was indeed a third-grade Spirit Cleansing Talisman, with a powerful purification ability for the Demon Envoy, something that naturally restrained such peculiar beings.

As it was swept by the pure white light, the blood vessel-like tentacles slowed enormously, the blood-colored glow inside them growing much dimmer.

A drop of demon beast blood flew out from a storage bag, shooting into the front cavity of the blood worm.

Focused on the peculiar blood worm, Lu Xuan instantly sensed detailed information about it.

“Blood Coagulating Parasite, a peculiar insect beast bred from over a hundred kinds of demon beast blood. It has a very strong sensation for blood and will fall into a frenzied state if it hasn’ t consumed any for a long time.” “It hides in the blood of its target and remains dormant. After stimulation, it reveals itself. After completely sucking up the target’s blood, it will leave the host. Not having stored enough blood, it will look for a new target.” “The Blood Coagulating Parasite is a common method for evil cultivators who practice blood magic to obtain essence blood.”

“So that’s what it was.”

Looking down at the loose cultivator couple who had been affected by an unexpected calamity on the ground, an unknown fire rose in Lu Xuan’s heart his jade-like hand firmly gripping the Blood Coagulating Parasite.

He grabbed the rest of the blood worm with his other hand and pulled hard.

Under his violent treatment, the Blood Coagulating Parasite was directly torn into sections and fell to the ground, an abundance of blood bursting out and flowing back into the loose cultivator’s corpse.

Lu Xuan’s spiritual power surged, the Spirit Cleansing Talisman shining brightly, pure white light covering a large area. The shattered blood worm under the illumination of the sanctified white light, continuously shrank, ’ turning into numerous black-red, shriveled blood vessels.

From the sudden emergence of the peculiar blood worm from the woman’s body, to Lu Xuan’s handling of it, it all happened so quickly that it took a moment for Song Yu and the others to react.

“Uncle Lu!”

Song Yu flew to Lu Xuan’s side, one hand holding a flying sword, the other holding an Exorcism Talisman.

“It’s alright, the problem has been completely dealt with.”

“This female cultivator’s body was also harboring the same demonic blood worm, it just that it was hidden deeper, beyond your awareness.”

Lu Xuan explained to Song Yu and the others.

“I didn’t expect the Demon Envoy to be so mysterious that it could be detected at such a close distance.”

Song Yu said with lingering fear. If it weren’t for Lu Xuan, it would have been difficult for the Song Family group to detect the abnormality within the woman.

“What about these loose cultivators?”

Upon hearing this, the patrolling team from the Song Family immediately surrounded the several panicked loose cultivators.

“Roar…”

A slight growl echoed, and the Cloud Leopard silently appeared on the ground, its green pupils indifferently staring at the few loose cultivators under Lu Xuan’s guidance.

“No abnormalities were found, let them go.”

The Cloud Leopard, already perceptive of a Demon Envoy’s trail at its First Grade Demon Beast phase, had its abilities improved even further after consuming Moon Rain Grass and ascending in bloodline.

Together with the Immaculate Jade on Lu Xuan’s neck, the double assurance made it sure that they hadn’t detected any trace of the Demon Envoy’s Qi. Lu Xuan gave the order to the monks of the Song Family.

“Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!”

The several loose cultivators felt as if a great burden had been lifted. Their knees went soft, and they couldn’t help but kneel down, repeatedly knocking their heads on the ground in sincere gratitude.

Seeing this action that was all too familiar, Lu Xuan was struck with the urge to change his mind.
