Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Pour out all the Spiritual Liquid, Start Absorbing Earth Spiritual Energy!

As the spiritual liquid inside the Jing Yu bottle slowly poured out, the Fu Ling grass within several miles benefitted.

They grew vigorously, forming a massive wave of grass that rustled and whose sound traveled far into the distance.

The demon turtle sensed unease and let out another low growl.

But this growl, masked by the sound of the grass wave, went unheard by Lu Chen.

His vision had improved due to the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, but there had been no change in his hearing.

Of course, had Lu Chen cultivated the Heart’s Eye, that would be a different story.

At the moment, he was fully focused on the spiritual liquid inside the Jing Yu bottle.

Since there wasn’t much liquid left, it would now empty even faster.

But the demon turtle clearly couldn’t wait much longer; after hesitating on the spot for some time, it still decided to come and investigate!

It did not know who had caused its unrest.

Instinct alone told it that it had to kill the instigator to calm its troubled mind!

At the same time.

Many cultivators also noticed the changes in the land and began to search for its source.

In their aimless searching, some found the underground palace, mistaking it for a treasure land and dove right in.

Others discovered the rare presence of Wood Spirit Power in this area, deducing that an extraordinary treasure had appeared, naturally gravitating towards the Fu Ling grassland.

And at this moment, in the heart of the Fu Ling grassland, nourished by such pure Wood Spirit Liquid, even the shortest grasses stood as tall as a person.

Thinking that the demon turtle could arrive at any time, Lu Chen naturally sat down and used the Fu Ling grass to conceal his figure.

Moreover, Lu Chen set aside his long spear, so its length would not attract the attention of the demon turtle.

It wasn’t until all the Wood Spirit Liquid had been poured out that Lu Chen came back to his senses.

He took a deep breath, his eyes shining, but he did not stand up.

"Jing Yu bottle, next, start absorbing the Earth Spirit Energy from this place,"

Lu Chen said solemnly.

"Why do you need Earth Spirit Energy? Even if it turns into Fusion Liquid, Earth Spirit Liquid isn’t of much use to you,"

said the Jing Yu bottle helplessly.

"It’s not for the Spiritual Liquid," said Lu Chen, "Right now, the remaining four types of Spiritual Energy in the air have almost balanced out; only Earth Spirit Energy remains about twice as abundant! If you can absorb the Earth Spirit Energy here, it will reduce the disparity and achieve a balance of the five types of Spiritual Energies. Perhaps, this can even limit the strength of that demon turtle!"

Recalling how he was almost bitten in half by the demon turtle, Lu Chen felt residual anger.

"I see,"

the Jing Yu bottle suddenly realized it had been shortsighted.

It seemed that the master it had reluctantly acknowledged still had plans of his own and had not chosen the wrong person after all!

Lu Chen placed the Jing Yu bottle on a thick stalk of Fu Ling grass and then asked the spear spirit, "Is the demon turtle getting closer?"

He had been sitting on the ground but felt the vibrations of the sand and soil beneath him.

"Less than ten miles away,"

the spear spirit reported immediately.

"Ten miles... It looks like we’ll give it a surprise," said Lu Chen, his eyes gleaming, "At twenty miles, it must have noticed the anomaly here. If it had come right away, we might not have had many good options, but now..."

In fact, Lu Chen had a greater trump card, which he thought of when the Jing Yu bottle emptied the Wood Spirit Power.

He was confident that if his current preparations were insufficient to deal with the demon turtle, using his trump card would surely leave it struggling to cope!

However, Lu Chen had no immediate intention of using it.

He would wait and see!

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly heard some voices talking!

He quickly looked towards the direction of the sounds, and his expression changed!

They were Qi Refinement Realm cultivators!

These cultivators were all unfamiliar faces.

Yet their clothing was something Lu Chen could not mistake!

Xuanji Sect!

If he had encountered them before, he would have been a goner!

But now...

Lu Chen thought for a moment, just as the demon turtle was coming.

Since the Xuanji Sect bore a grudge against him, there was no need to feel pity for these people; it was perfect to use them to test the demon turtle’s reaction first!

Lu Chen concealed his aura, while the several female cultivators stood cautiously at the edge of the Fu Ling grassland, seemingly afraid to enter rashly.

It was not until they heard the heavy breathing of the demon turtle that they turned back in fright, their pretty faces turning deathly pale!
