You Cultivate, I Farm

"I can actually confirm the identity of evil spirits using this method!"

Lu Xuan returned to the room, still somewhat incredulous. After learning about Wang Ruhai being invaded and occupied by an evil spirit, he attempted to feed him a few spirit fruits, unexpectedly discovering the details of the evil spirit within him.

"However, while this method seems unique, its actual effectiveness isn't as significant as imagined."

"Just understanding information about the evil spirit doesn't clarify its abilities or weaknesses. Moreover, generally, an evil spirit wouldn't just randomly consume something given by a stranger," analyzed Lu Xuan.

As for how to deal with the traces of the evil spirit, he had no intention of actively exposing this fact or harboring thoughts of exterminating evil spirits or upholding justice.

He faced three options: wait, escape, or eliminate the evil spirit.

Waiting for the evil spirit to expose itself or accidentally be revealed was too passive. Escaping wasn't suitable as he wasn't familiar enough with the secret realm, and leaving alone might lead to encountering other evil spirits or monsters.

"It's best to eliminate it, but by someone else," thought Lu Xuan.

"Reporting once feels good, but reporting continuously for pleasure..."

Deep into the night,

Inside Li Jianfeng's residence,

Suddenly, a slight noise, and a small crumpled paper landed in the room from an unknown source.

Before the paper even touched the ground, Li Jianfeng, sleeping on the bed, opened his eyes sharply, alert and fierce, swiftly rushing outside.

Outside, the moonlight cast a serene glow, leaving no trace of any figure.

Li Jianfeng held a hefty blade in his hand, his gaze sharp as lightning, the centipede-like scar on his face looking more sinister in the night.

His spiritual awareness scanned around, the entire camp unnervingly quiet, only the faint breaths coming from the tents.contemporary romance

Returning to the room with a serious expression, Li Jianfeng skillfully opened the crumpled paper with the tip of his sharp blade.

Crooked and slanted handwriting appeared:

"Be careful! Wang Ruhai has been invaded and contaminated by an evil spirit!"

It was evident that the handwriting owner deliberately wrote with their non-dominant hand to conceal their writing.

Li Jianfeng's expression remained unchanged. His spiritual power surged, and a deep black flame emerged from the tip of his blade, turning the paper into ash.

**Early next morning, Lu Xuan yawned as he walked out of the house.

Last night, he had used the Concealing Spirit Robe to become invisible, slipping a warning note to Li Jianfeng. Then, out of concern for possible trouble, he also collected three Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms remaining on the mountainside.

Having hardly closed his eyes upon returning to the room, he felt a bit weary.

He headed to the camp dining area where several cultivators had gathered.

A chilling sensation in his chest grew stronger, instantly waking him up.

While eating, he observed Li Jianfeng and Wang Ruhai.

Everything seemed normal, with no difference from usual. The note he had sent seemed lost in the void.

"Something's wrong!"

A middle-aged spiritual plant cultivator ran into the crowd, shouting in panic.

"It seems like Senior Xia has gone missing!"

"I just checked his place and couldn't find Senior Xia anywhere."

"Do you think something might have happened to him?"

With these words, the spiritual plant cultivators present became uneasy, worry creasing their faces, murmuring among themselves.

"Calm down! Why panic? First, let's search around the mountain."

Wang Ruhai stepped forward, sternly reprimanding.

Groups of people searched the mountainside, but still found no trace of the cultivator named Xia.

"Senior Xia might have encountered an accident, or perhaps he simply left for something urgent. No need to panic, just stay vigilant and cautious," Wang Ruhai reassured the worried cultivators.

"There are numerous high and mid-level Qi cultivators here. Even if any monster or evil spirit intrudes, they won't be our match."

Wang Ruhai comforted over ten spiritual plant cultivators.

Lu Xuan mingled in the crowd, appearing anxious and worried about his safety.

Wang Ruhai quickly formulated a plan. As the highest combat power among the cultivators along with Li Jianfeng, they agreed to take turns guarding throughout the night, ensuring the safety of the spiritual plant cultivators.

In this tense atmosphere, the speed at which the cultivators harvested the Dragonvine Grass slowed considerably.

Soon, night fell.

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the camp, under the moonlight, its head moving as if searching for something.

Once it identified its target, it lightly scratched the center of its forehead, and suddenly, a lifelike pale skin bag silently fell off, exposing the muscle tissue inside.

The pale skin bag wore a faintly eerie smile and drifted lightly towards a wooden cabin.

Suddenly, a blade aura arrived, seemingly aiming to cleave the skin bag.

Provoked by the blade aura, the pale skin bag fluttered disorderly in the wind, evading the chilling blade aura.

"Who are you, occupying Senior Wang's body!"

Li Jianfeng emerged from the shadows, wielding a heavy blade.

Initially dismissing the note as a prank or an attempt by a cultivator to sow discord, the disappearance of a spiritual plant cultivator during the day made him believe in the note's contents. Hence, he had spent the entire night guarding the camp, awaiting the moment the evil spirit would reveal itself.

"Who am I? I am Wang Ruhai!"

The pale skin bag's smile widened, unfurling to reveal Wang Ruhai's face.

"Bold evil spirit, daring to invade the body of a Wang family cultivator, prepare to die!"

Dark flames surged from Li Jianfeng's blade, propelling him like an arrow, aimed at the eerie skin bag.

All the commotion had already roused everyone in the camp.

Most present were mid-level Qi cultivators, skilled in cultivation but not adept at combat. Seeing the eerie and terrifying skin bag in the air, and considering Wang Ruhai's high-level cultivation, many were unaware of being invaded by an evil spirit. Consequently, quite a few spiritual plant cultivators ran out of the camp directly.

Lu Xuan did the same. Although he quickly exposed the skinned body within the skin bag using his reporting technique, joining forces to combat the evil spirit was just wishful thinking.

Two swift talismans were affixed to each of his legs as he swiftly ran through the night.

Following his memory of arrival, he didn't head deeper into the secret realm but kept moving towards its outer regions, intending to leave as quickly as possible.

"After returning to the market, I must find a way to purchase a technique for swift movement."

Nearly half an hour later, leaning against a large tree, Lu Xuan pondered.

Since acquiring the white light orb, he had been waiting for the rewards it would offer.

Originally, if he could obtain a technique for swift movement, combined with the existence of the experience pouch, he could save a lot of time in cultivation.

However, his spirit stones were always hovering near the sustenance line, prioritizing the purchase of spiritual plants and young spiritual beasts. Hence, he never had the chance to learn a technique for swift movement.

Under the current

circumstances, the significance of a swift movement technique became apparent. At the very least, it would enable him to outrun other cultivators.

"Lu friend, I finally found you here after searching for so long."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, and Li Jianfeng appeared not far ahead.

"Wang Ruhai, along with the evil spirit in him, has been dealt with by me. Come back to the camp and continue identifying Dragonvine Grass."

He smiled, causing the centipede-like scar on his face to contract, appearing even more grotesque and terrifying.

"Hold it!"

Lu Xuan brandished a silver-white sword blade.

"The password!"

"What password?"

Li Jianfeng asked in confusion.

"The proof that you're not an evil spirit. I suspect you've been contaminated by an evil spirit. If you want to prove yourself, you'll need to reveal the password we set before."

Lu Xuan's sword blade pointed at Li Jianfeng, his voice grave.
