You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 47
Chapter 47
A young cultivator named Lei Yin, at the ninth level of Qi cultivation, stood on the brink of completing his Qi cultivation, excelling in lightning techniques.
He was the highest-ranking cultivator in the Enforcement Hall, notorious for slaying countless malevolent entities.
His golden-hued eyes brimmed with power as he gazed at Ling Peng, who struggled with a six-winged Harmony Worm. He spoke coldly, "Evil creatures dare to encroach upon our Enforcement Hall's cultivators. Whether intentional or not, they must pay a grievous price!"
"Let's go!"
Before the words had faded, Lei Yin shot forth on a flying sword, followed closely by Ling Peng.
The Wang family.
Inside the hall, Wang Shan's belly had swelled into a large ball, expanding and contracting like a beating heart.
His entire body had turned corpse-like, the sagging skin continually splitting, revealing stark white bones underneath.
"Ah... it's almost time..."
Wang Shi gazed at the incessantly throbbing ball with a maternal glow in her eyes, hands ready to catch the imminent birth from the rupturing abdomen.
"Where did this malevolent entity come from? Daring to wreak havoc in the Lin Yangfang Market, face death!"
Before the words settled, a massive fire dragon, measuring two to three zhang, swiftly swooped in, heading straight for Wang Shan's belly ball.
"Wow!"
A baby's cry echoed from Wang Shan's abdomen, a cry tinged with boundless resentment. An ash-gray spiritual energy wall instantly formed, shielding the ball from the rapidly approaching fire dragon.
The collision between the fire dragon and the gray-black wall transformed into countless flames, setting the furniture in the house ablaze.
Ling Peng flew above the house, coldly observing the bizarre state of the two inside through the hole created by the fire dragon.
As he watched the increasingly rapid movements of the ball and the anxious woman, knowing delay was intolerable, he grunted coldly.
A small fiery lotus flew out from within him.
The tri-colored fiery lotus had a dark red root with countless fine lines, fiery red leaves with strands of magma flowing within, and a pale red, crystal-clear flower resembling jade.
The three-colored fiery lotus spun and soared, swiftly growing larger, piercing through the gray-black spiritual energy wall, aiming for Wang Shan's belly ball.
Sensing the threat of the three-colored fiery lotus, the ball swiftly cracked open, revealing two tiny black arms on either side of the crack.
What was inside was impatient to emerge prematurely.
Beside the woman, a similar massive crack appeared on her abdomen, empty except for dense resentment.
The baby's arms lay on the edge of the crack, and then, a more bitterly resentful cry erupted. Gray-black baby palms appeared on the three-colored fiery lotus, and the magma within the lotus leaves slowed.
"Still struggling futilely, meet your end!"
A stern voice rang out.
Suddenly, the sky above the Wang family turned glaringly white, shrouding the surrounding cultivators who instantly lost their vision. Thunderous sounds followed, and the entire Wang family transformed into a sea of lightning.
Once the storm subsided, the Wang family lay in a blackened area, reduced to ashes by the thunder's might, along with Wang Shan's belly ball and Wang Shi, crushed by the thunder's force.
After scanning the courtyard and its surroundings with their spiritual awareness, ensuring no anomalies remained, they finally descended.
"Ling Junior Brother, send someone later to inspect the surroundings to prevent any overlooked malevolent entities."
"Enforcement Hall cultivators conducting inspections must remain dedicated, not disrupting the normal lives of nearby cultivators, nor glossing over the task. It must be thorough but not overly intrusive."
"Yes, Senior Brother Lei, I will personally ensure this and won't let any malevolent entities slip through."
Ling Peng nodded solemnly.
Not far away, Daoist Lu gazed gravely at the Wang family courtyard.
He had sensed the thunder's arrival but hadn't looked directly, thus his eyes remained unaffected.
The formidable spell released by the Enforcement Hall cultivator hadn't reached Lu Xuan's small courtyard, displaying his adeptness at controlling spiritual power.
Lu Xuan remained vigilant, with his talismans and artifacts at hand.
Fortunately, the experts who came to eradicate the malevolent entities were adept, preventing any residual malevolence from invading Lu Xuan's yard.
"Reporting seems rather effective..."
Lu Xuan sighed. He had heard the baby's cries, and even though he wasn't the primary target of the cries, he couldn't help but feel dizzy and sluggish.
Confronting the malevolent entity head-on, Lu Xuan couldn't guarantee an easy resolution.
Luckily, his prior report had drawn the two high-level Enforcement Hall cultivators, effectively dealing with the contaminated Wang Shan.
"When I reported earlier, I mentioned Wang Shan's anomaly and casually hinted at Tang Xiaodong's possible complicity."
"Now that Wang Shan's invasion by malevolent entities is confirmed, Tang Xiaodong will find it hard to defend himself. Even if it's proven later that he's unrelated to the malevolent entities, neglecting his duty is unavoidable."
Seated at his table, Lu Xuan remained still.
With Wang Shan's recent malevolent entity trouble, his proximity attracted significant attention. Hence, it was better to remain low-key and stay indoors for now.
Sure enough, within half an hour, three mid-level Qi cultivators arrived for inspection.
"Apologies for the disturbance. The Enforcement Hall discovered a powerful malevolent entity nearby tonight. To ensure no potential infiltration into surrounding cultivator homes and for everyone's safety, we must conduct a detailed inspection. We seek your understanding, friend."
The leader smiled at Lu Xuan.
"Three mid-level Qi cultivators, quite the show."
Lu Xuan marveled silently before responding, "It's no trouble. Feel free to inspect. I have no objections."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
The leading cultivator bowed to Lu Xuan, retrieving a white jade Buddha from his storage pouch.
The Buddha was about three inches tall, depicted smiling with a faint spiritual radiance around it.
The cultivator circulated his internal spiritual energy, performing a technique that sent a burst of spiritual power onto the surface of the Buddha.
Instantly, the radiant aura intensified, rippling like waves across Lu Xuan's body and his courtyard.
As the faint spiritual light washed over him, Lu Xuan felt instantly cleansed, his mind clear as a mirror, free from any contamination.
After scanning the entire courtyard, the spiritual radiance retreated into the Buddha, which continued to emit its ethereal glow without any changes.
"All done. No anomalies detected. Sorry to have inconvenienced you."
The lead cultivator stored away the white jade Buddha and, with the others, hurried to the next house.
"That's it?"
Lu Xuan wondered. He had anticipated the exposure of his spiritual plants in the spiritual field but hadn't expected the Enforcement Hall cultivators' inspection methods to be so straightforward.
"So, Tang Xiaodong indeed had the intention to investigate me."
"Thinking I'm just a third-level Qi cultivator specializing in cultivating spiritual plants, he wanted to use the inspection as a pretext for a thorough search."
"He probably didn't expect the consequences of his pursuit of a few spiritual stones."
Lu Xuan chuckled and returned indoors.
