I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

“My King Worm has been annihilated!”

In the boundless sea, a massive Stone Island.

Deep within the stone island, a dim cave.

A blood light shot out, abruptly halted, revealing a blood-robed cultivator with

a gloomy expression within.

The cultivator wore a blood-colored robe. As the robe fluttered, the intensity of the blood light fluctuated, and many faint worm shadows seemed to be writhing within the robe.

An insect beast, its body twisted from blood vessels and numerous small blood tentacles at the end flew out from the darkness.

It was none other than the Blood Coagulating Parasite that has been rampant on the islands.

The blood worm flapped its two pairs of pale red wings, letting out a strange cry towards the blood-robed cultivator.

Then, the blood robe of the cultivator emanated strong blood light, and the blood worm spewed out blood from an unknown hole in its body, which entered the robe and become one of the countless worm shadows within.

The blood seeped into the robe, making its blood color to deepen slightly. “Oh? Is there anyone in this sea area who can kill your King of Blood Coagulating Yin Worm?”

A soft voice sounded not far away.

The owner of the voice was a short cultivator, whose height only reached the waist of a normal person.

Before him, a corpse stood still.

The short cultivator’s finger softened and split into a brush-like form, his arm lengthened, flexible as if without bones, entering through the black, hollow pupil of the corpse.

A few breaths later, the arm came out and returned to normal, with some residual fragments of the original owner remaining on the fingertip. Behind him, there were dozens of grayish-blue mounds of earth that looked like graves. Each had a human skin flag inserted in it, with many strange runes drawn on the surface.

The earth mounds occasionally vibrated slightly, causing the flags to tremble, as if something sinister was buried inside.

Both the blood-robed cultivator and the boneless tiny cultivator possessed the Cultivated Level of the Foundation Establishment Late-term.

“Each of my King Blood-Coagulating Yin Worms is closely connected to my heart and mind, naturally, I can sense their death.”

The blood-robed cultivator said painfully. The King Worms needed to be bred from hundreds to thousands of ordinary Blood Coagulating Yin Worms. The breeding difficulty was extremely high, and he only had three King Worms after decades.

Each King Worm had a certain level of Spiritual Intelligence, could control a large number of ordinary Blood Coagulating Yin Worms, and its ability to suck and store blood was more than ten times that of ordinary Blood Coagulating Yin Worms. They also had formidable strength, not weaker than an ordinary Foundation Establishment First-term Stage Cultivator.

Such precious rarity, how could he not be angry and heartbroken!

“Hehe!”

The tiny cultivator chuckled in derision, his skin constantly trembling as if bereft of flesh support.

“Hunting geese all day, sooner or later you’ll be pecked in the eye by the geese. I told you long ago not to pester the cultivators of the islands. You could just feed on sea fish and sea beasts.”

“But you insist on not listening, being greedy for the exquisite taste of human blood, and now look where that got you?”

He inch by inch brushed the corpse in front of him, as if crafting the most exquisite piece of art in the world.

“What good is it for you to mock now?”

The blood-robed cultivator retorted indignantly.

“If it wasn’t for my insects controlling a large number of Loose Cultivators, sucking their bodies dry of blood, would you be able to get so many Corpse Puppets painlessly? Would you have been able to clean them up so easily? The corpses that the tiny cultivator was brushing were called Corpse Puppets, which were made in an extremely sinister way.

It required a complete cultivator’s corpse, from which the blood was drained, muscles and organs all removed, leaving only the skin and bones. Then, they would use special materials to fill the body before burying it in a place’filled with Yin Qi, nurturing it with magic artifacts, Yin Qi, runes, and so on for a while, thereby creating a special puppet.

The difficulty in refining this kind of corpse puppet was much higher than ordinary puppets, but the advantages were also clear. It had stronger power, more plentiful means, and was easier to control.

“It must have been a disciple of a great sect on some island or some old cultivator from a certain family who dealt with your spirit bug, The short cultivator speculated. A King Worm had a high degree of spiritual intelligence. If it detected an ambush by several Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would certainly flee and would not confront them directly. Only those disciples of the great sects who had various means at their disposal or old cultivators who had accumulated years of cultivation, would possibly deal with the King of Blood Coagulating Yin Worms quickly on a one-on-one basis.

“Perhaps.”

The blood-robed cultivator suppressed the rage in his heart. “Are you thinking of seeking revenge? But do you know who it was?” “If you don’t know and you cause a big commotion, attracting the attention of a great sect, won’t our efforts over the past few years be wasted?” “Before finding that hidden realm, I suggest you don’t stir up trouble. Once we find it, I won’t interfere with whatever you do,”

The short cultivator said, with a hint of warning in his tone.

The two had accidentally obtained a strange treasure and, from the scant information on it, inferred that an undiscovered secret land was hidden in this area of the Boundless Sea. As a result, they stayed on Stone Island, searching everywhere for the location of this secret land.

Unfortunately, even after more than two years, there was still no trace of the secret land. The blood-robed cultivator’s robe had consumed a lot of blood, and he had to supplement it from nearby sources.

At first, he targeted the surrounding sea fish and sea beasts. As time passed, he switched his attention to the loose cultivators who were journeying out to sea. He even thought of sneaking onto the islands and having a feast.

But to his surprise, he ended up losing a precious King of the Blood Coagulating Yin Worm.

“I will be careful.”

The blood-robed cultivator transformed into a beam of blood light and flashed into the dark cave.

Inside the Spirit Field.

Lu Xuan remained unaffected by the outside world during this time.

After resolving the Demon Envoy crisis on Void Nether Island, his mission was completed, and Song Yu handled the rest.

In the meantime, foundation establishment cultivators and family forces from other islands, upon hearing that the Demon Envoy problem on Void Nether Island had been resolved, came to request Lu Xuan’s support and assistance. Lu Xuan politely declined under the pretext of injury, and mostly stayed in the courtyard, cultivating his spirit plants and raising his spirit beasts. He learned from Song Yu that after wreaking havoc on the islands’ cultivators for more than half a month, the Blood Coagulating Yin Worms disappeared without a trace overnight.

He didn’ t know whether all the worms had been eradicated or whether they had voluntarily fled the islands.

Lu Xuan did not let his guard down in the slightest. He was fully aware that there were traces of an evil cultivator behind these evil worms.

And the person behind the scenes, who could cultivate evil worms equivalent to a Foundation Establishment First-term Stage Cultivated Stage, was very likely to have a cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term or above. Because of this, Lu Xuan didn’t drop his guard at all but made a pact with Shi Zhong and Zhou Bing Yu that they would help each other out.

As a result of ample preparation on Void Nether Island, coupled with Lu Xuan’s swift and decisive action to completely eradicate the evil worms, the area suffered minimal damage compared to surrounding islands.

The majority of losses were among the Loose Cultivators. Only a few middle- stage Qi Practitioners of the Song family were killed, and some cultivators were injured.

On the other islands, due to delays in news and relatively weakened strengths, the losses on Chongning Island were severe.

In addition to almost the same number of loose cultivators, several high-grade Qi Practitioners of the Ning family died, which was like adding frost to snow for the Ning family already dealing with the erosion of the Invisible Algae. After roughly understanding the situation on the islands, Lu Xuan didn t pay further attention and focused on his Spirit Field.

The Tier-3 Rockshell Turtle Egg was about to hatch thanks to the efforts of the fat-bellied Wind Falcon.
