Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1788: Chapter 1791: A Bit Awkward

”Hurry up and speak.”

Lu Xiaobu immediately said.

”It’s actually very simple.” Xin Lifeng nodded, ”It’s just that we haven’t explored in that direction yet.”

”Next to the Chaotic Land in the Northeast Gourd Island, there’s a small forbidden land. Typically, no one goes there because everyone says there are great demons inside, very powerful, and all those who entered have died!”

”However, a few days ago, while testing the equipment sent by the master, I suddenly discovered that the forbidden land is empty!”

”Empty?!” Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes.

”Yes, empty. I used the life detector to scan a few times and instantly discovered the entire forbidden land is empty.”

”Don’t mention the Demon Clan, even demon beasts, ordinary demons, beasts, and even insects aren’t there. The whole forbidden land is eerily silent, it’s no longer forbidden, it’s a dead zone!” Xin Lifeng said with certainty.

”So, I speculate that the master truly wants to protect not the Chaotic Land but the forbidden land next to it; the Chaotic Land is just a decoy!”

”And the prohibition of private brawls in the Chaotic Land might also be because this master doesn’t want these people to scatter around discovering his secret by accident due to their private brawls!”

”Later, I even sent someone to the forbidden land once.”

”Then, that person disappeared, vanished completely, as if they never existed in this world.”

”If I didn’t know the forbidden land was already a dead zone, I’d probably think like others that person was eaten by the demons inside, leaving no bones behind!”

”So you’re saying there’s something good in the forbidden land? Something that makes the master willing to oppose the God Slaying Alliance and even kill every life form entering there?” Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes even more!

”Yes, that’s my guess. It’s highly likely!” Xin Lifeng nodded.

He felt a bit emotional. If it had been his former self, he might not have cared even if he unintentionally discovered this matter.

But now, his mindset is slowly changing, starting to pay attention to details.

And the facts prove, his change is correct!

All because of the transformation this master brought him!

”Then what do you guess it is?”

Lu Xiaobu asked.

”I checked some information and combined previous records of that forbidden land, I speculate it’s where Blood Sea Buddha Grass is born!”

Xin Lifeng mentioned the name of the herb, somewhat excited.

”Blood Sea Buddha Grass?” Lu Xiaobu was clueless about its significance.

Others’ cultivation is closely tied to various elixirs, whereas he doesn’t even know whether elixirs are sweet or sour.

”Yes, Blood Sea Buddha Grass, it’s a herb with extremely stringent birth conditions; not only is its birth environment particularly difficult, but its subsequent growth is even harder, requiring daily irrigation of fresh blood.”

”And that’s not all. It not only needs irrigation with fresh blood, but it will actively absorb the life force of all surrounding creatures, even souls will be absorbed by it.”

”Even the land around it will gradually lose nutrients and eventually collapse into a big pit.”

”Thus, the irrigated fresh blood converges into this pit, forming a blood sea!”

”But this is such an evil plant, yet at the moment of its maturity, it flourishes in adversity, emits brilliance akin to gods and Buddhas.”

”And the greatest function of mature Blood Sea Buddha Grass is to forge a Second Soul Body.”

”Once the Second Soul Body is successfully forged, it’s equivalent to having an additional life!”

Xin Lifeng described Blood Sea Buddha Grass in detail, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

An extra life!

Once cultivators reach a certain level, they begin to cherish life!

No one wants to Shurgs their life away after years of arduous cultivation, having a long lifespan, only to suddenly die for no reason!

Therefore, an extra life is an irresistible temptation for them.

You don’t dare to fight me desperately? I dare! I have two lives!

You don’t dare explore highly dangerous places? I dare! I have two lives!

You don’t dare take the risk of crossing tribulation? I dare! I have two lives!

Listen to the confidence these two lives bring!

”Very good, very valuable!” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Well, he was too embarrassed to tell Xin Lifeng he has seven Nascent Souls and plans to self-destruct a few Nascent Souls this time.

Two lives?

Not worth mentioning!

However, he can understand the allure of these two lives to cultivators, especially high-level cultivators.

This information indeed very valuable!

”Someone, call that... what’s their name? The one who just ran out from inside the God Slaying Alliance.” Lu Xiaobu struggled a bit to remember the name of the guard who conveyed the message to him.

Alright, he doesn’t know at all.

Soon, the guard hurried in.

Then!

Xin Lifeng looked at the guard.

The guard looked at Xin Lifeng.

”Hello!”

”Hello!”

They exchanged greetings, both feeling a bit awkward.

No avoiding the embarrassment, they’re acquainted!

After the guard defected, his first task was to deliver a message to Xin Lifeng!

Back then, Xin Lifeng even asked him to rest well.

And now!

They meet again!

Both defected!

Awkwardness without reason!

”Alright, what’s your name, you immediately return to the God Slaying Alliance, report that the message has been conveyed, and the three cities have started to act.” Lu Xiaobu instructed.

”Yes, master!” The guard nodded.

”And also, spread the news that said the master of the Chaotic Land is nurturing a Blood Sea Buddha Grass in the forbidden land next to it!” Lu Xiaobu further instructed.

”What?! Blood Sea Buddha Grass!?”

The guard’s breathing suddenly quickened, clearly he knew about this as well.

”Yes, that one. Xin Lifeng, you come up with specific arrangements. You’re familiar with that place, and you two can coordinate better,” Lu Xiaobu pondered and said to Xin Lifeng.

”Yes.”

Xin Lifeng nodded with a bitter smile.

He then looked at the guard.

The guard also looked at him.

”Let’s go!”

”Alright!”

Their brief exchange plunged the atmosphere into awkwardness again.

They truly don’t know what to say.

Should they say—Ha ha ha, so happy, once again fighting side by side?

Hehe, hehe, hehehehe!

If they said those words, they’d have no face left.

Though awkward, Xin Lifeng quickly walked alongside the guard to start discussing how to proceed with the task.

Just as Lu Xiaobu stated, they are both familiar with the internal situation and have worked together. Now that they switched allegiances, it’s becoming increasingly seamless!
