Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 62 Harvest

When Chen Liang reappeared, he was already in the thin mist not far from the rabbit.

Seeing that the rabbit was still staring at the surrounding mist with undiminished interest, Chen Liang released a wisp of pure primordial spiritual energy, making it circle in front of the rabbit, especially in front of its nose.

Then the rabbit's eyes were fixed on this wisp of primordial spiritual energy. Its gaze followed the movement of this wisp of primordial spiritual energy, showing a look of certainty.

So Chen Liang withdrew the wisp of primordial spiritual energy, causing the rabbit to run towards his direction.

It wasn't until that wisp of primordial spiritual energy returned to Chen Liang's hand and lingered around his fingertips that the silly rabbit finally realized there was someone there.

However, it probably hadn't seen many people, so when it discovered that the wisp of primordial spiritual energy was on the fingertip of Chen Liang, a human it felt close to, it immediately jumped onto Chen Liang's hand and absorbed the wisp of primordial spiritual energy into its body with a look of enjoyment.

Seeing this, Chen Liang released another wisp of primordial spiritual energy, using it to tease the rabbit.

"Little one, come with me, and you'll have this kind of good food every day from now on. How about it? Will you come with me?"

Unfortunately, the rabbit clearly couldn't understand Chen Liang's words.

Therefore, Chen Liang could only feed it this wisp of Primordial Spiritual Power, causing it to instinctively fall into a deep sleep as it digested the Primordial Spiritual Power.

Meanwhile, Xuan Gu was searching the nearby mountains and forests.

The old ghost Du, residing within his rib-shaped magical artifact, spoke somewhat cautiously: "Brother Xuan Gu, that... Venerable One possesses the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame. We ghost cultivators should probably keep our distance from him."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Gu felt a strong sense of disgust towards the old ghost.

This old man was a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator before he formed his Nascent Soul. Later, when he entered the Void Heaven Palace, he switched to the Ghost Path in the Spirit Abyss and survived to this day by sheer luck. However, he still thinks highly of himself and called Xuan Gu "brother" when they first met.

Later, the strange phenomena caused by Chen Liang's cultivation enraged Old Ghost Du. He led a group of Yin spirits and fierce souls to besiege Chen Liang, wanting to let this newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator know the power of his senior.

Before they could even get close to Chen Liang, more than half of his men had already been wiped out. Du Laogui was then astonished to discover that Chen Liang possessed the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, making him his nemesis.

After that, Old Ghost Du became much more restrained and calmly discussed the deal with Xuan Gu.

Although he has survived to this day by sheer luck, he is trapped by the restrictions of the Void Heaven Palace and cannot properly possess another body to leave, so he needs the Mysterious Bone to take him out.

Xuan Gu also needed help to deal with Ji Yin, so after some bargaining, Du Lao Gui handed over his life essence and swore to help Xuan Gu fight Ji Yin.

Xuan Gu also swore that he would not attack Old Ghost Du without cause, and that he would help him possess a Core Formation cultivator.

Now, Old Ghost Du is practically Xuan Gu's subordinate. And seeing that this ghost cultivator Xuan Gu dares to get so close to Chen Liang, Old Ghost Du shamelessly calls Xuan Gu "brother".

Xuan Gu could not help but despise such a person who was utterly unaware of his own limitations and outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

But Xuan Gu had no choice. Because of his impulsive act, his lifelong reputation had become a stepping stone for Ji Yin, and it would be difficult for him to find any help outside.

Having encountered this old ghost Du again in the Spirit Abyss, I thought that pulling him away from the Spirit Abyss would at least be of some use.

Looking back now, this guy was truly too cowardly and mediocre.

But this was, after all, his only subordinate at the moment, so Xuan Gu could only try to appease him for the time being.

The demigod within the rib artifact, Xuan Gu, spoke up: "Don't worry, although I've only met Fellow Daoist Chen a few times, I still have some understanding of his personality."

People like him won't care about you unless you really anger them.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Du finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, with a fawning expression, he said, "It seems that Brother Xuan Gu is indeed more capable. I believe that Brother Xuan Gu will succeed in this mission. If we can really destroy Ji Yin, I will definitely ask you for the position of deputy island master."

Xuan Gu's divine body casually leaned back on the enormous white bone throne and laughed, "Alright, I'll definitely grant you the position of deputy island lord then."

Old Ghost Du couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's wonderful. Once I obtain a body, I will do my best to help you deal with the Extreme Yin."

"Now, I can help you find the spirit ginseng itself first. After that, we can discuss how to deal with extreme yin, shall we?"

Xuan Gu nodded and said, "Okay."

So Du Laogui transformed into a gray ghostly shadow and broke free from Xuan Gu's body, searching energetically for the true form of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

Although Xuan Gu's face remained expressionless, his eyes still betrayed his disdain.

He had made up his mind that he had to find an opportunity to get rid of this old devil, Du.

As someone known as the Xuan Gu Master, Xuan Gu, or rather Xiao Cha, would never allow such a mediocre person to be among his subordinates.

After a while, Xuan Gu returned to the mountain forest with the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

Chen Liang took the jade box containing the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng and the previously agreed-upon reward from Xuan Gu. After confirming that Xuan Gu hadn't done anything wrong, he took out the Golden Thunder Bamboo and handed it to Xuan Gu.

Unable to contain his excitement, Xuan Gu accepted the Golden Thunder Bamboo and quickly began refining it by the stream nearby.

Chen Liang opened the jade box, allowing the dormant spiritual energy avatar to return to its original form and begin to be nurtured and stabilized.

The spiritual manifestation of this Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng has formed a close connection with the surrounding mountains and forests. Therefore, if you want to take the Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng away, you must let its spiritual manifestation return to its original form and be nurtured and stabilized.

Subsequently, Chen Liang also took out the Seven-Colored Lotus from his reward.

If you only look at the roots and stems, this Seven-Colored Lotus is no different from an ordinary lotus. In fact, this Seven-Colored Lotus only has three segments of lotus root, making it look like a poorly developed lotus.

But the Seven-Colored Lotus is like that; it only grows one section of lotus root every thousand years, and the lotus flowers that bloom will also have an additional color.

It will take three thousand years for the lotus to grow seven sections of root. Finally, the Seven-Colored Lotus, which is ten thousand years old, will produce a lotus pod with seven lotus seeds.

Even now, the lotus flowers that grow from this Seven-Colored Lotus are still tri-colored.

This brings us to the stubbornness of the Seven-Colored Lotus. If it is picked before it has completed the process of flowering and fruiting within a thousand-year development cycle, it will not hesitate to slow down its development in order to flower and fruit again.

Only after it grows a lotus seedpod, which is then allowed to fall naturally or be picked by someone, will the Seven-Colored Lotus be able to safely continue its development for the next thousand years.

For Chen Liang, satisfying the Seven-Colored Lotus's instincts was not a difficult task.

After all, he can stimulate the growth of spiritual plants, so he can wait until the Seven-Colored Lotus officially bears fruit and then pick the most effective fruit.

For ordinary cultivators, who can afford to wait for the Seven-Colored Lotus's hundreds of years-long flowering and fruiting process?

Chen Liang placed the jade box containing the Seven-Colored Lotus next to the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng and covered the roots of both of these spiritual treasures with some Transformation Divine Mud.

In this way, their vitality will not be affected by transplantation.

Now, Chen Liang has plenty of Divine Transformation Mud, making him practically a wholesaler of it, so he can use it generously. He even stuck some Divine Transformation Mud to the roots of the Golden Thunder Bamboo of the Profound Bone, also to protect its life force.

After that, Chen Liang took out the palm-sized piece of Yin-Yang Gold and examined it.

Yin-Yang True Gold is a supreme spiritual material that can only be formed through repeated melting and refining by the forces of Yin and Yang over a long period of time, and it is mostly found in places where Yin and Yang converge.

Like the Five Elements Jade, any magical artifact that can be infused with a piece of Yin-Yang True Gold will have its power greatly increased. Moreover, this magical artifact will gain a wondrous ability that is not subject to any elemental counter.

For Chen Liang, inserting this Yin-Yang True Gold into the Yuanhe Radiant Mirror and then infusing it with the Great Five Elements Yin-Yang True Light meant that the Yuanhe Radiant Mirror would have the ability to fuse with other top-tier spiritual materials such as the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain.

From then on, his natal magic weapon could gradually advance to the level of a Xuan Tian treasure.
