Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 635: Spiritual Plant Experiment
“How do you feel?”
Su Yuan asked.
Su Qian said with delight, “I feel like I have gained an additional Chaos Origin Space. I can borrow the power of the Purple-Veined Nine-Leaf Grass! It can directly transform Nothingness into Existence, its endurance is incredibly astonishing! It can also transform into my armor and weapons, and even has restraining abilities! At the same time, I can use this grass to comprehend the Chaos Great Dao and enhance my Creative Power!”
With a wave of his hand, the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass flew directly onto Su Qian’s body, transforming into a suit of purple armor. The seven leaves turned into seven long swords, circling around Su Qian.
The leaves twisted and changed, capable of transforming into seven vines to entangle enemies.
Having formed a symbiotic relationship with it, Su Qian could be said to have upgraded from a peashooter to a cannon!
Su Yuan nodded. “The effect is quite good!”
Su Qian said gratefully, “Thank you, Master.”
“I have an experiment. I need you to carry it out for me!”
Su Yuan added.
“Master, please give your orders.”
“Go and test whether the Scavengers will exhibit destructive behavior towards Nothingness Spiritual Plants!” Su Yuan said.
Su Qian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. “Your subordinate understands!”
He began to act immediately upon receiving the task from Su Yuan.
Su Qian left Black Flame City and headed towards the other cities of the Third Frontline.
On the way, he unexpectedly discovered that many others were also traveling from Black Flame City to other cities, just like him.
Upon asking, he learned that the Scavengers in Black Flame City had been completely cleared out. Many Dominators had thus lost their hunting targets and could only go adventure in other cities.
After a long time, he finally arrived at another city, White Brow City.
This place was largely similar to Black Flame City. Su Qian did not enter the city either. After reaching the vicinity of the city, he headed outside the city walls and began searching for Scavengers.
This search lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.
In Su Qian’s own time system, he had been searching for hundreds of thousands of years when he finally encountered a wolf-form Scavenger.
The moment he discovered the Scavenger, the other party also noticed Su Qian.
Upon seeing him, the Scavenger charged forward without hesitation.
Su Qian turned and fled.
He quickly escaped the Scavenger’s pursuit.
After evading the chase, Su Qian immediately vanished on the spot, replaced by a Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass quietly growing within the Nothingness.
After waiting for a period of time, a black wolf flew over aimlessly.
It glanced at the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass, then turned and left for elsewhere.
Su Yuan, far away in Black Flame City, also showed a surprised expression upon seeing this scene. A pure Nothingness Spiritual Plant actually didn’t provoke hostility from the Scavengers!
It was as if the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass was truly just a blade of grass by the roadside. Even if not hostile, didn’t the Scavenger know this was a treasure? It didn’t even exhibit any harvesting behavior.
Just as the black wolf was about to leave his field of vision, Su Qian reappeared. This time, he did not reveal his aura. Instead, he perfectly concealed his own aura beneath that of the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass, yet his will could still be sensed.
The black wolf turned its head to look. Upon seeing Su Qian, its expression showed hesitation, as if judging whether Su Qian was a target for elimination.
After judging for a full five Xi, a fierce light appeared in the black wolf’s eyes, and it pounced towards Su Qian to kill him.
Su Qian transformed into a wisp of clear energy and merged into the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass.
The black wolf, without hesitation, swiped its claws at the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass.
*Clang!*
The wolf claws collided with the grass leaves, producing a metallic sound. The Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass easily withstood the black wolf’s attack.
The black wolf attacked dozens more times continuously. Finally, unable to find Su Qian, it did not persist stubbornly but turned and left.
Su Qian reappeared once more, only this time, he merged the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass into his own body. The aura he emitted was also that of the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass.
The black wolf glanced back, and again paid no attention to Su Qian, continuing to leave into the distance.
“Low-level Scavengers may have insufficient intelligence, but their behavioral patterns can be used for reference. It seems Scavengers will not damage Nothingness Spiritual Plants.”
Observing Su Qian’s attempts, Su Yuan pondered thoughtfully. He was contemplating the reasons behind this. If, according to the Old City Lord’s theory, these Scavengers were truly transformed under the influence of some super existence, then their behavioral logic would naturally be influenced by that super existence.
That super existence most likely did not regard Nothingness Spiritual Plants as significant, thereby causing the Scavengers to overlook the existence of such plants.
At this moment, Su Qian acted again!
He charged towards the black wolf while emitting the aura of a Nothingness Spiritual Plant.
The black wolf reacted instantly and also counterattacked Su Qian.
At this point, no matter how Su Qian transformed, the black wolf had already identified him as a target for elimination. Even if Su Qian transformed back into the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass, he would still be subjected to the Scavenger’s continuous attacks.
Su Qian, clad in the Purple-Veined Armor, annihilated the low-level Scavenger before him in just a few moves.
Afterwards, Su Qian searched for a second Scavenger. After finding one, he conducted a second attempt, and the result was the same as before.
After confirming the truth of the situation, Su Yuan was very satisfied.
“This loophole isn’t particularly significant in effect, as generally high-level Scavengers can discern it. However, it does solve a difficult problem for me.”
Su Yuan retrieved a Nothingness Spiritual Plant and, with a wave of his hand, caused the plant to appear out of thin air outside his Life-bound Chaos.
The spiritual plant stretched out its form, becoming incomparably huge, so huge that it completely enveloped Su Yuan’s Life-bound Chaos within it.
In this way.
His Life-bound Chaos became much safer. Even if a Scavenger passed by, it would no longer have any designs on his Life-bound Chaos.
He also used other spiritual plants to conceal his Heavenly Fate Chaos, Seven Stars Chaos, and Taihao No. 2 Chaos, covering up all three of his bolt-holes at once.
After completing this step, a sense of security inexplicably arose within him.
Discovering this loophole was truly too important for him.
Just at this moment, within one of Su Yuan’s Chaos realms.
A figure rushed out of the Chaos.
This person’s aura surged chaotically, appearing as if they had just broken through not long ago.
It was actually a newly ascended Chaos Dominator.
Li Shanchang had successfully broken through and opened up a Life-bound Chaos of his own.
However, when his breakthrough concluded and he turned back to look, he saw a giant, lush ancient tree.
Stunned, he looked at the enormous ancient tree, countless times larger than his own Chaos, and exclaimed in shock, “Where’s the Chaos?”
He saw a thin crack in the bark at the center of the ancient tree. Through the crack, he could see the barrier of a Chaos realm, which was precisely the location he had just emerged from.
But before he could return, the crack automatically repaired itself, sealing off his path back.
Li Shanchang was dumbfounded. He hurriedly took out the token given by his Ancestor, activated it with Dominator power, and contacted Li Chun.
After hearing Li Shanchang’s description, Li Chun said, “Don’t worry about it. That might be the Lord’s arrangement. Just come directly to me!”
Following the guidance, Li Shanchang headed for Black Flame City to seek refuge with his Ancestor, Li Chun.
