You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 312: Insect King

Chapter 312: Insect King

"Did any of you encounter something similar to the blood worm that just appeared when this wandering cultivator died?"

Lu Xuan asked solemnly.

"No, we didn't."

Several Song family cultivators shook their heads repeatedly.

One of them seemed to remember something and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Elder Lu, when that wandering cultivator was about to die, I saw a burst of blood light shoot out from his body. At the time, I thought it was just blood, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Hmm."

Lu Xuan nodded gently.

"It seems to have escaped."

"Elder Lu, how should we proceed now?"

Song Yu's face showed concern. The intrusion of evil spirits into Empty Abyss Island was a major event, and as the lord of the island, he was extremely anxious.

Fortunately, with the presence of Lu Xuan, a Core Formation elder from a major sect, they could barely stabilize their mentality.

"We need to continue patrolling daily, but we need more manpower to prevent evil spirits from taking advantage of the situation. In addition, we need to maintain order on the island and prepare more talismans for dispelling evil."

"The sinister creature that just appeared is called the Blood-Congealing Yin Insect. It's a common method used by evil cultivators who practice blood cultivation techniques, so there may be traces of evil cultivators behind this."

"These two wandering cultivators were both contaminated by the blood-congealing Yin Insect when they returned from the outer sea. Therefore, the focus should be on checking those cultivators who have returned to the island recently."

Lu Xuan instructed the Song family head.

"As for me, I will act as I see fit and freely search the island to deal with those cultivators who have been contaminated by the blood-congealing Yin Insect."

The blood-congealing Yin Insect almost replaces the circulation of a cultivator's blood. Unless it is stimulated at close range or feeds on blood and comes out on its own, it is difficult to detect its traces with conventional methods.

However, Lu Xuan possessed the Illusion Breaking Eye Technique, which allowed him to perceive the aura of evil spirits, and the third-grade Purifying Talisman, which had powerful purification capabilities against evil spirits. With these tools, he could resist the invasion of evil spirits. He was equivalent to all the cultivators of the Song family on Empty Abyss Island.

After confirming the measures to deal with the blood-congealing Yin Insect with Song Yu, Lu Xuan's figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

On the stone-paved street.

The Cloud-Stepping Lynx crouched on Lu Xuan's shoulder. Its thick paws, like clouds, curled up together, and its emerald eyes scanned every wandering cultivator passing by. The two clusters of gray-white fur on its pointed ears swayed gently.

Under the sweeping of the sword energy like a scorching sun, the blood energy all over the insect's body seemed to be evaporated by the clear sky after the snow, rapidly dissipating.

After a few breaths, countless tiny blood vessels turned into a small pile of black ashes, scattered on the body of the thin cultivator, who had long become an empty shell.

"Rest in peace."

After confirming that there was no evil spirit aura around, Lu Xuan looked at the dry corpse of the wandering cultivator on the ground, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

After discovering the abnormality of the cultivator, tracking him all the way to his residence, and confirming that there were no other contaminated cultivators nearby, Lu Xuan summoned the Grand Sun Sword Talisman and easily solved the sinister creature hidden inside the cultivator's body.

"It's a pity that he has been invaded by the sinister creature for too long, and he has almost become a walking corpse. There's no way to save him."

He sighed inwardly.

"However, I didn't expect the sword energy in the Grand Sun Sword Talisman to have a natural restraining effect on the blood-congealing Yin Insect."

Lu Xuan looked at the red sun high above the crimson sky on the talisman in his hand, feeling satisfied.

After letting the Cloud-Stepping Lynx circle around the courtyard to confirm that there were no other evil spirit auras, Lu Xuan hurried to another place.

On a spacious square, Lu Xuan walked aimlessly, observing his surroundings

.

"Roar, roar..."

The Cloud-Stepping Lynx kept growling, and the pure jade hanging from its neck emitted a wave of icy breath, which became stronger and almost froze his chest.

On the square, many cultivators came and went, bargaining voices constantly echoing, depicting a scene of the lives of wandering cultivators.

However, after Lu Xuan used his eye technique, he noticed that more than ten cultivators with a faint blood-red light in their eyes were deliberately or unintentionally approaching him.

These cultivators seemed to be controlled by something, with faint bloodshot eyes, and their words and actions revealed a hint of stiffness.

"Hey, young man, be careful when walking."

Lu Xuan pressed down on the shoulder of a teenager who had just bounced past him. The teenager had just stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

In his slightly dazed eyes, the teenager's body, chest, abdomen, limbs, and so on were completely occupied by a blood-red color.

Inside his body, there was even a powerful insect king ten times stronger than an ordinary blood-congealing Yin Insect!
