Chapter 348: The Reversal of a Worthless Bug, Have I Become a Grandpa?
"Perilous Poison Body..."
Lu Xuan digested the fleeting thought in his mind, muttering to himself.
"It turns out to be a unique sensitivity, capable of absorbing and digesting various toxins, refining poisons."
"However, this constitution is a double-edged sword; a slight carelessness could entail the risk of death."
He noticed that after swallowing that small piece of Poisonous Orb, gray-white lines appeared on the larva's head, revealing a faint aura of death.
However, the larva paid no attention to this, ignoring the discomfort in its body, conveying to Lu Xuan its desire to continue enjoying the Poisonous Orb.
Its craving for toxins far exceeded its fear.
Lu Xuan sighed and fed the remaining Poisonous Orb to the larva.
The larva gulped it down.
Lu Xuan, worried, quietly waited by its side.Sure enough, moments later, the gray-white lines on the larva's head became more pronounced, extending downward to its tail.
Its body trembled slightly, giving off a sense of withering and desolation.
Gradually, the gray-white lines became denser, forming a gray-white flame-like pattern on the larva's body.
Lu Xuan quickly inspected its current state.
【Poisonous Heart-Eating Larva, fourth-grade demonic insect...】
【Ingested second-grade Corpse Flame Orb, a large amount of corpse poison has gathered and spread inside the body.】
【Corpse Flame Orb, a poisonous pill made primarily from the oil of deceased cultivators, containing intense corpse poison.】
【Can be controlled with ice-based treasures to stop the spread of corpse poison, then dispersed with treasures rich in vitality.】
"Fortunately, the detailed status indicates the origin of the Poisonous Orb and provides a solution."
With a thought, Lu Xuan took out a fist-sized ice crystal from his storage bag, the Hundred-Year Ice Soul from the Ice Gourd Fruit.
The Hundred-Year Ice Soul adhered closely to the larva. Under its extremely cold and pure aura, a thin layer of frost quickly spread over the larva's body, calming its trembling form.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan released a strand of Green Wood Source Qi from his dantian, infiltrating the larva's body.
Green Wood Source Qi was condensed from the essence of the fifth-grade Azure Deer, containing powerful vitality. Wherever it passed, the gray-white lines melted like snow under the scorching sun, rapidly dissipating.
After dozens of breaths, all abnormalities on the larva's body disappeared, and even the lingering effects of ingesting the toxin improved significantly.
The little Heart-Eating Larva stood still, seemingly unaware.
In its memory, it had never experienced such a comfortable feeling before.
Accustomed to feeding on toxins and possessing a unique constitution, it had an unparalleled craving for all kinds of toxins. However, each time it consumed a toxin, it would endure various tortures.
Even in its larval stage, it had experienced countless near-death encounters.
Fortunately, with Lu Xuan's expertise in insect taming and being a true disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, he could pull it back from the brink of death.
Although toxins inflicted significant damage each time, the Heart-Eating Larva remained unaffected, its initial desire for toxins unchanged.
Previously accustomed to such experiences, it now felt an unprecedented sense of ease after ingesting toxins.
The method Lu Xuan used to detoxify was notably different from that of Seed Mountain. After the larva swallowed toxins, Seed Mountain could only rely on his cultivation level and resources to forcibly decipher the approximate nature of the toxin.
In contrast, although Lu Xuan's cultivation level and available resources were far inferior to Seed Mountain's, he had a natural talent in insect taming. As long as he fed the larva a bit of toxin, he could understand its specific condition, prescribe the right medicine, and use the fastest and most effective means to restore it to normal.
The larva excitedly spewed poison smoke at Lu Xuan, leaping towards him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Lu Xuan knew that the larva was expressing gratitude, but seeing such a venomous creature lunging towards him, he felt uncomfortable and quickly grabbed it with his palm.
"From now on, stick with me, and I promise you won't experience the pain you had before."
He said to the larva in his palm.
After establishing a contract, there was an intimate connection between the larva and Lu Xuan. Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the larva, with a strange expression, nodded lightly.
"Once you ingest more toxins, I guarantee you'll grow faster than your siblings, and when you return to the nest, you can flaunt it."
Lu Xuan teased.
"Looking at it this way, it seems like a familiar plot, huh?"
"Having special parents (a fourth-grade demonic insect), coming from a powerful background (being a true disciple of the Sky Sword Sect), growing up in a small family, with envious onlookers nearby (the nest), and having exceptionally talented siblings."
"Although possessing a special talent (Perilous Poison Body), behaving like a waste, weaker than siblings in strength, enduring ridicule daily, and even being discarded as a useless pawn, until encountering a mysterious figure, guiding one's cultivation path, helping to solve various problems encountered along the way, one's strength improving rapidly."
"When returning to the nest, one can surprise parents, relatives, and powerful factions, leaving them dumbfounded, and giving them a good slap in the face."
"The tide has turned, and the weak larva is now on the path of reversing its fate!"
The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more excited he became.
"In this case, am I becoming the legendary all-powerful grandpa?"
"Well, since I cultivate spirit herbs for a living, let's just call myself the 'Medicine Grandpa'..."
Lu Xuan dismissed such a boring thought from his mind, and after settling the larva, he inspected various areas of the spiritual field, using different basic techniques to cultivate numerous spirit plants.
The Rock Shell Turtle in the small lake swam lively back and forth, the Fire Dragon occasionally glanced at the inexplicably appearing little junior, and the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp stayed in the corner, trying its best to lower its presence.
Underneath the lake, from the ancient dragon fossil, three slender shadows as thin as hair quietly emerged, the Dragon Bone Grass seedlings that had just broken out of the stone.
The purple jade coral occupied a corner of the lake, quietly growing.
The Wind Falcon lay by the lake, belly up, basking in the sun, while the Cloud-Stepping Lynx shuttled among the dense forest, and the Double-Headed Armadillo occasionally emerged from the stone cave, carrying a bit of earth spirit soil back to its den.
In the remote corners of the mountain peaks, under the Immortal Peach Tree, a pink mist lingered, emitting its unique charm.
The Demon Ghost Vine stretched its gray vines freely, forming a vine jungle around all the Immortal Peach Trees, enjoying the aphrodisiac effect of the pink mist.
After a while, it retracted its vines, taking on a normal form like a gray poisonous snake, crawling rapidly in the spiritual field.
After returning from the Empty Abyss Island,
Lu Xuan's spiritual field was bustling with activity, and various spirit plants and demonic beasts lived together harmoniously, exuding vitality.
Even the larva in Lu Xuan's palm, after experiencing the Poisonous Orb, had undergone a certain degree of transformation, revealing a sense of spirituality and intelligence, no longer the same as before.
Time passed quietly, and without realizing it, the sun set in the west, casting long shadows on the mountain peaks.
Lu Xuan stopped his work, and under the faint light of the setting sun, he returned to the mountainside, planning to continue cultivating his sword techniques.
