Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Planting Medicine in the Breath Soil, Dealing with the Demon Turtle!

"It probably won’t work."

The spear spirit was very certain and said, "It is the eye of this array, but I am not! If it were within the Metal Element formation’s deficiency, perhaps it could sense its presence like I can."

"But why did you say that it will keep coming this way?"

Lu Chen was utterly puzzled, this explanation made no sense.

The spear spirit contemplated for a moment and said, "Master, is there a possibility that the Demon Turtle, having devoured a human, has acquired human intelligence, and thus, through the changes within the array, it has discovered your presence here?"

Lu Chen was startled and looked up at the sky.

At that moment, his body was still transforming Spiritual Power, and naturally, the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was streaming towards him.

"Could it be... that it is sensitive to Spiritual Power, and I have been converting the Spiritual Energy here into the Pure Jade Vial continuously, which made it aware of my presence?"

"That’s the only possibility," the spear spirit thought for a while and said, "Within the Metal Element formation’s deficiency, wherever there is a change in Spiritual Energy, I can sense it too. The Demon Turtle, originally transformed from a turtle shell, might still be considered a treasure of the array’s eye, just like me, but with added intelligence. Hence, it can pinpoint this place and head towards here!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and said, "So, you mean to say, if we stop, it might not be able to find us?"

By comparison, Lu Chen felt that avoiding a direct confrontation with the Demon Turtle was the right decision.

"It should be possible, right?"

Now, even the spear spirit wasn’t so sure.

"Then let’s stop for now and see!"

Lu Chen immediately stopped the conversion within his body and checked the Pure Jade Vial, finding that it was still far from being filled up, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to stop.

As he put away the Pure Jade Vial, Lu Chen also had the spear spirit keep an eye on the Demon Turtle’s position. After a few moments, the spear spirit said, "Master, it has stopped in its tracks for a while but is still heading this way!"

Lu Chen looked up at the sky once more.

The circulation of Spiritual Energy in the air had returned to normal, yet the Demon Turtle was still able to pinpoint the location, indicating it had other methods!

"Seems like it’s not that simple!"

Lu Chen’s expression became even more somber; he had no intention of battling the Demon Turtle at this moment!

"How about we leave?"

The spear spirit thought for a while and said, "Master, this broken formation is now unstable, and it won’t be difficult for us to leave."

"Sigh," Lu Chen sighed, wishing to leave himself?

But the problem was, after leaving, he would still be within the Sky Abyss, and the Pure Jade Vial wasn’t yet full. If he encountered that Core Formation Stage opponent again, he would have no place to hide!

"Master, if we don’t leave, we’ll have to fight the Demon Turtle! Make a quick decision, to fight or to retreat?"

Lu Chen’s eyes flashed with determination and said, "We need to be prepared for both, ready to fight if we must and to leave directly when it’s time. Otherwise, acting rashly in battle against a strong enemy is no different from seeking death."

Pressed by the spear spirit’s questions, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "If we could kill the Demon Turtle, we could obtain its shell and continue to infuse the Pure Jade Vial with Spiritual Power here! Then, if we encounter a Core Formation Stage opponent in the Sky Abyss again, we would have something to save our lives at least!"

The spear spirit knew Lu Chen’s concerns but didn’t quite agree with his statement, "Master, once the Demon Turtle dies, this formation will certainly collapse. It’s already unstable, and we won’t be able to stay here and calmly transform Spiritual Power."

"So, if we are to take down the Demon Turtle, we can only do so with smarts, not by direct assault!"

Lu Chen certainly understood and said to the Demon Turtle, "The method I have in mind for now is ’wood overcomes earth.’ But the key question is, how to restrain it?"

The spear spirit, though intelligent, truly lacked experience and muttered, "The key issue, Master, is that you’re not willing to use the Tree Core! If we used the Tree Core, we could definitely suppress the Demon Turtle!"

At the mention of the Tree Core, Lu Chen’s eyes lit up!

"Without the Tree Core, I have Breath Soil! If I were to cultivate Spiritual Medicine with Breath Soil here and spread it out, might it..."

Lu Chen wasn’t just daydreaming; he truly had Spiritual Medicine in his storage bag!

When he first entered the Sky Abyss, he had conveniently picked a lot of Spiritual Medicine, which he had been keeping in his storage bag.

He didn’t understand medicine, but he could recognize Spiritual Medicines and even planned to hand them over to the old medicine sage once he returned!

"Let’s just give it a try!"

Lu Chen didn’t hesitate to take out a handful of Breath Soil and place it on the sandy ground, then he took out a jade box.

Upon opening the jade box, there was a stalk of Spirit-Nurturing Grass. Lu Chen carefully inserted the roots into the Breath Soil.

In an instant, the Spirit-Nurturing Grass grew at a rate visible to the naked eye!

Within just three breaths.

The Spirit-Nurturing Grass aged from thirty years to fifty years!

And at the same time, seeds formed at the tip of the grass!

Lu Chen was elated. He removed the Spirit-Nurturing Grass from the Breath Soil, transplanted it to one side, plucked off the seeds, and scattered them back into the Breath Soil!
