I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

"I don't want to hide it from Fellow He, but before knowing the detailed information about the Sky Demon Realm, I did have the idea of exploring it."

"But after seeing the information about the demon domains inside, I completely dismissed that idea."

"The place is filled with Demon Kings, and it's not something a small Loose Culturist like me could meddle with."

"Fellow Ling should think of other ways to collect Demon Beast Materials."

Lu Xuan smiled wryly and shook his head.

He had achieved his goal and naturally wouldn't spend so many Spirit Stones to be sent in by the Black Light Tower anymore.

"You don't want to enter anymore, Fellow Ling?"

He Kun's face showed a hint of surprise; it was uncommon for someone to come to the outskirts of the Sky Demon Realm in the Void and give up on the spot.

"Can't help it, if the strength isn't enough, entering would only serve as food for those Great demons."

Lu Xuan sighed softly, his acting impeccable.

"Since Fellow Daoist has made up his mind, then I, He, won't insist."

He Kun's gaze flickered, not retaining him further.

Immediately, Lu Xuan rode the Sword Light and swiftly flew away.

"Kid Lu, some evil creature is tracking you, do you want me to come out and deal with it?"

In less than a moment, a message from the Green Horn Thunder Son came through the small booklet.

"This little matter doesn't trouble you, senior."

Lu Xuan laughed lightly; the star in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness suddenly lit up, his Divine Sense spread wildly, capturing the subtle anomaly in the Void instantly.

Soon after, a pale golden Divine Thunder shot out, aiming at the location of the anomaly.

The Divine Thunder carried a magnificent might, seemingly capable of cleansing all impurities and evils in the world.

A pair of eyes with a ghostly glow appeared, the pupils seemingly filled with panic.

These Strange Eyes were intermittently visible in the Void, even more mysterious and hidden than the Void Nightmare Eyes Lu Xuan initially had.

However, under the Shenxiao Heavenly Thunder, all dark evils had nowhere to hide.

In an instant, the Divine Thunder struck the Strange Eyes, the thunderlight washing over them, dissipatively turning the pair of eyes into nothingness.

"How dare you track me, let me teach you a lesson so you know the severity."

He flicked his finger, and the Shenxiao Heavenly Thunder immediately returned to his side, slithering into his Sea of Consciousness like a small snake.

He no longer sought out He Kun, as after all, this part of the Void housed who knows how many Cultivists from Black Light Tower; if he couldn't eradicate the opponent swiftly with thunderous means, it would only bring trouble, a small lesson was enough.

"You really have quite a few things on you, boy."

The Green Horn Thunder Son was quite surprised, somewhat amazed by Lu Xuan's thunderous methods.

"Can't help it, as a Spirit Plant Master, when exploring outside, one must put great effort into scouting and escaping."

Lu Xuan smiled, and in his hand appeared a blood-red token, with surging blood light deep within it, seemingly containing layers of Strange Beasts' shadows, dizzying to look upon.

It was the key to entering the Sky Demon Realm, the Sky Monster Command.

...

In the Void.

He Kun was quietly sitting on a giant Meteorite, with Prohibitions and Restrictions set up on it, blending into the surroundings, making it extremely hard to detect.

Suddenly, he grunted, with his closed eyes shedding two lines of ghostly black bloody tears.

"The Black Ghost Pupils were broken!"

He was greatly alarmed in his heart, and immediately, a drop of Essence Blood fell into the skull at his waist.

"Junior Brother He, what happened?"

"Senior Brother, my Black Ghost Pupils were destroyed by someone; to be cautious, please be ready to help at any moment."

He Kun looked around, uncertain and anxious, fearing that the Culturist from earlier might emerge from a hidden spot.

"Alright, I'm coming right away."

The aged voice, upon hearing this, immediately became much more serious and made a decisive move.

"Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

"Brother, there was a Loose Cultivator named Ling Gu who just came by, wanting to enter the Sky Demon Realm..."

He Kun remained vigilant, maneuvering the giant meteorite at high speed while briefly explaining his encounter to his senior brother.

"The man bought a set of information about the Sky Demon Realm, then suddenly changed his mind and said he wanted to give up."

"I naturally didn't believe it, so I sent out the Black Ghost Pupils to follow him, but to my surprise, not only did he notice them, but he also destroyed them in an instant."

The dark blood tears on He Kun's face had gradually dried up.

The Black Ghost Pupils, created from his own pupils fused with many strange materials, were fortunate enough to possess incredibly powerful concealment abilities and could cast potent illusion techniques. They had trailed many Nascent Soul Cultivators in the past and were almost never detected.

Unexpectedly, they were not only noticed by the Loose Cultivator but were also destroyed so quickly that He Kun himself was impacted.

"The moment I went to control the Black Ghost Pupils to leave, I discovered it was some powerful Thunder Method."

He conveyed this via a psychic transmission to the skull.

"To detect the Black Ghost Pupils is still fine, it means he has a strong Divine Sense or possesses some other secret technique or treasure."

"But to destroy the Black Ghost Pupils instantly is no small feat, likely a Primordial Infant Cultivator from a Great Sect proficient in Thunder Method, whose strength is very possibly at or above the Mid Nascent Soul Stage."

"Is it the Shangqing Dao Sect, the Divine Xiao Sect, or perhaps the Junior Thunder Palace Celestial Master?"

The aged voice speculated.

...

"Phew... I'm finally in."

Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, the blood energy that constantly enveloped his body gradually fading, though remnants of pure demonic power still covered his body.

After activating the Sky Monster Command, he was guided and led by the blood-red token, successfully entering the Cave Heaven of the Sky Demon Realm.

He released Flower Charm Slave, instructing it to carefully observe the surroundings, and after sweeping over with his Divine Sense and confirming there were no abnormalities, he finally felt at ease.

Looking around, the area was filled with a wild aura and pervasive faint demonic power.

"First, I need to determine my location, then choose a suitable demon domain, and see if I can obtain the Essence Blood of Seventh Grade Demon Turtle and Spirit Crane."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The Jade Slip He Kun sold him contained information on some high-rank Strange Beasts and Spirit Cranes, saving him a lot of search time and proving to be good value.

The next day.

"The Jade Spirit Dragon Pond is not too far away, just need to cross four demon domains."

Lu Xuan, having figured out his location, stood atop a hundred-zhang-tall Spirit Wood, surveying the area below.

Below, members of the demon race with half-human, half-beast forms occasionally passed by, their appearance and body shape becoming closer to the Human Tribe, the stronger their demonic power was.

"This place is the main stronghold of the demon race; causing any disturbance could easily lead to being besieged."

"Therefore, everything must be done covertly, and it's crucial not to attract too much attention."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

"The Jade Spirit Dragon Pond is home to many Seventh Grade Dragon Turtles, said to be descendants of the True Dragon and Mysterious Turtle, possessing special bloodlines, and at the deepest part of the pond, there are even Eighth Grade beings."

"Direct assault won't work; I need to outsmart them."

"I could try to capture a Dragon Turtle and keep it in my Personal Spatial, and then extract the Essence Blood whenever I want."

Lu Xuan changed his approach, seeking an alternative path.

Hunting a Seventh Grade Dragon Turtle would require it to be done in extremely short time without drawing the attention of other Dragon Turtles, and he must also be wary of any possible Eighth Grade Dragon Turtles.

Compared to this, capturing a Seventh Grade Dragon Turtle was more covert and relaxed.

"No need for killing or extreme actions!"

"Come live in my Personal Spatial for a few hundred years, and who knows, you might even find a way to survive."

"As for the lost Essence Blood..."

"My 'Spring Birth of Ten Thousand Trees' seal is enough to make up for it."

Lu Xuan's lips curled up.
