I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 462 - 460: I’m Picking up Trash in the Forbidden Area_1
Chapter 462: Chapter 460: I’m Picking up Trash in the Forbidden Area_1
“The sinner?”
Lu Xuan muttered under his breath. This Bald Blood Butcher had been confined in the forbidden area, the chains of the Chained Artifact binding his hipbones, limiting his movements. Given his understanding of the Sect’s rules, he estimated that the crime committed must be severe.
“Yes, I was impulsive and hot-tempered in my youth, culminating in a great sin of murder. There was, however, a reason behind it, so my sin wasn’t severe enough to warrant death. Hence, the Precept Hall Master Uncle locked me up in this forbidden area to slaughter demonic beasts daily – an exercise designed to wear down my murderous urges.”
The bald monk spoke at a leisurely pace.
“Confined in the forbidden area, surrounded by demonic beasts every day. Before I realized it, a century had passed. I have no idea how the world outside has changed.”
His bloody eyes took on an immeasurable depth as he stared into the depths of the tunnel, falling silent.
“Locked away for a century, slaughtering demonic beasts every single day.”
“‘Slayer of Demons in the Forbidden Area of Ten Thousand Beasts’?”
A remarkable thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind. He finally understood why he was initially ignorant of the Bald Blood Butcher’s existence.
He stood quietly aside, carefully discerning the truth of the bald monk’s words.
There was no doubting the monk’s identity as a Sky Sword Sect Disciple; after all, the sect wouldn’t confine an unrelated person or evil cultivator in the Forbidden Area of Ten Thousand Demons.
From his words, it was apparent that True Man Cang Wu knew of his existence.
However, the truth behind the sin he spoke of was indeterminable.
Regardless, it had nothing to do with him; he was more interested in the vast amount of demonic beast flesh and blood inside the forbidden area.
“Brother Blood Slaughter, you are killing beasts every day? Don’t you get bored?”
Lu Xuan asked cautiously.
“I’m used to it. I don’t feel bored.” freёnovelkiss.com
“Judging by Brother’s condition, killing beasts for so many years seems to have had a significant impact on you?”
“Well, that’s inevitable.”
Barely cracking a smile, the bald monk revealed a set of sharp teeth.
“There are three types of demonic beasts that need to be dealt with in the forbidden area.”
“The first comes from common origins and is mainly used for various experiments, as well as feeding certain carnivorous demonic beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Cave.”
“Dealing with these creatures is relatively straightforward – kill them and separate the useful parts.”
“The blessed beasts in the Blessed Land are picky eaters, so even the normal beasts used purely for feeding have some parts that cannot be used to feed them.”
“The only trouble is those demonic beasts who survived the failed experiments. Their bodies are filled with various toxins and Yin Qi which makes their disposal a bit troublesome.”
“The second kind is the ferocious beasts. Although restrained by artifacts and formations, they must be loosened during disposal, leading to an instant outburst of ferocity. Handling them becomes a bit more difficult.”
“And finally, the evil beasts. Each one is quite peculiar, so you must remain highly alert during their disposal, lest their strange breath pollutes and enters your body, causing your own transformation.”
Perhaps due to a long absence of conversation, the bald monk was talking to Lu Xuan non-stop.
“How is the carcass of the killed beast or ferocious beast disposed of in the end?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“Those fit for feeding spirit beasts are stored separately in a storage bag. As for the other parts that can’t be used to feed spirit beasts, the harmless ones are piled up directly in the forbidden area. The harmful ones are either refined with formations or taken out of the forbidden area for destruction.”
The bald monk answered in detail.
Lu Xuan’s eyes lit up; there seemed to be a significant amount of room for manipulation here.
“Brother Blood Slaughter, I wonder if you need any help? If you do, I can come over to assist you regularly,”
“Junior Brother Lu, are you not focusing on your cultivation? Do you want to come to the forbidden grounds to deal with demon beasts?”
The bald monk was utterly puzzled. The forbidden grounds were filled with the aura of slaughter and various poisonous mists. All the other disciples avoided it like the plague, so why would anyone want to come here to handle demon beasts?
“I have nothing much to do when I’m in the blessed land. I just want to contribute to the sect in a small way,”
“Don’t worry, Brother. I am aware of what’s urgent and what’s not, and it will not hinder my cultivation.”
Lu Xuan was resolute.
“The reason I want to help you, Brother Blood Slaughter, is to use this opportunity to understand the body structure and characteristics of various demon beasts. If I encounter them in the future, I can accentuate their weaknesses and easily dispose of them,”
He concocted a reason that sounded extremely sincere.
“Junior Brother, if you don’t mind, you can stay and process the demon beasts with me. I will tell you in detail about each beast’s characteristics.”
The bald monk believed three-quarters of Lu Xuan’s reason.
“Thank you, Brother.”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth.
The spirit beasts in the blessed land have been tamed. Their eating habits naturally differ from the demon beasts. In order to not affect their physical condition and growth, they are always cautious about their diet.
However, the weird spiritual plants and the spirit of flesh inside the Underworld Court were different.
They had always been demon envoys, and bizarre beings, craving only the flesh and blood of demon beasts imbued with poison, strange air – they would never be picky eaters.
Perhaps, if Lu Xuan took a bunch of bloody, foul-smelling, or yin-infused meat over, they might even find the taste too light!
“Since Junior Brother Lu insists on processing demon beast flesh and blood, I’ll trouble you to throw away these unwanted parts,”
“A few dozen miles ahead, there’s a deep abyss where we normally discard these scraps.”
“I’m not very mobile; throwing them away is even more tiring than killing a few demon beasts. In the future, I’ll leave this task to you.”
“No problem,”
Lu Xuan gladly agreed, leisurely heading over to the pile of worthless scraps, and put the mountain-like pile into the storage bag.
“Who would have thought that I, an inner sect disciple of a major sect, and the most well-known Spirit Plant Master of the Sky Sword Sect, would end up picking up trash in the forbidden grounds.”
He found the dark abyss as directed by the bald monk, carrying a pile of scraps with him.
Uncountable heaps of demon beast meat accumulated in the abyss, emanating an aura of blood. Even from the top, Lu Xuan could clearly sense it.
He scanned his surroundings with his spiritual sense. In the void, a gray-white eye appeared faintly. He opened the storage bag, and a pile of demon beast scraps spilled out.
It fell about 10 meters before a wrinkled shadowy pouch opened underneath, catching all the scraps.
It was the Fifth Rank Treasure that originated from the Xuan Chong Vine, the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, which had a much larger space than an average storage bag. The pouch could also maintain the freshness of the demon beast flesh and blood for a long time, making it a perfect tool for storing them.
“Unfortunately, there isn’t much demon beast meat left in the abyss, otherwise I could have collected them all in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.”
His eyes gleamed as he looked towards the bottom of the abyss, noticing that there weren’t many demon beast scraps left.
“Fortunately, I have the Gluttonous Insect Pouch capable of storing a large amount of scraps and preserving their freshness.”
“From now on, I can recycle them while disposing of others, and later feed them to the Blood Scourge Flower, Strange Longevity Peach, and Spirit of Flesh.”
“Running a household isn’t easy. I even have to recycle trash to feed my plants.”
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
