Chapter 395 – Neon Grass
”Red Coral Island! This is the closest coral island, let’s go here!”
Han Li muttered to himself as he stood on the Divine Wind Boat, then drove the magic weapon in a large, swift circle around this island and hovered in the air for a while, and only after determining that there were indeed no other cultivators or demonic beasts present in the vicinity of the coral island did Han Li and Qu Soul slowly landed on this island.
The area of the small island wasn’t large, and was an irregular ring-shaped structure, made up of many coral reefs of varying sizes, pieced together in a string in the east and a string in the west.
Han Li stood on the smooth ground, rubbed the dark red sand-like powder under his feet with his leather boots, and raised his head to carefully survey the island’s topography. It wasn’t long before he narrowed his eyes, revealing a gaze of deep thought.
Suddenly, Han Li gave the order to Qu Soul to guard the neighborhood, and he himself began to walk around the island.
With Qu Soul on alert to guard the area, Han Li spent the two days looking east and west on this island. He inspected the entire lot of the coral island, and even at the end of the day, dived into the seabed in the middle of the circular island, not coming out for half a day.
When the third day rolled around, Han Li finally stopped, his heart already set!
He ordered Qu Soul to set up the “Upside Down Five Elements Formation”, “Heavenly Wind Frenzy Formation”, and “Illusory Heavenly Luo Formation” on the selected locations. These large formations just blocked in the center of the red coral island into the three must pass through the road.
Then, Han Li only in the red coral island’s circular center, will be all the rest of the formation apparatus are used up, and then lay down several small spell formation, will be completely sealed around. In this way, it should be called a heavenly net.
After doing all this, Han Li once again carefully checked again to make sure that there were indeed no omissions before pulling out a jade box from within his arms.
Caressing the surface of the jade box with one hand for a moment, Han Li revealed a mysterious smile and gently opened the lid of the box, which contained a single stem and thirteen leaves of inch-large spirit grass! The dozen or so leaves of this grass were all curled into a cylinder shape, which looked somewhat peculiar.
But even more amazing is that it is white blanket mold emitting a faint haze, appearing gorgeous and dazzling, quite some fairy things look.
This is Han Li this trip’s biggest killer “Nishang grass”.
In fact, although this grass can not be said to be a common thing, but it is not a rare thing, in the coral reefs of the chaotic star sea can find this thing. But if it is planted in ordinary soil, surrounded by not a brightly colored environment, then in less than a day or two, neon grass will certainly wither and die, very interesting.
The most wonderful thing is that the light emanating from its body will always be consistent with the environment in which it grows, and will change with the color of the environment, either emitting a red light or other colors such as blue light.
However, its medicinal effects are not important to Immortal Cultivators, and it is not at all as attractive as its appearance; it is only a medicine guide for refining some low-grade pills, and generally does not attract the attention of Cultivators. However, another bizarre name for the “Nei Shang Grass” – the “Demon Seducing Grass” – had once caused quite a commotion in the Sea of Chaos Immortal Cultivation World.
At that time, I don’t know which Immortal Cultivator accidentally discovered that this gorgeous herb, although it had thirteen cylindrical curly leaves as soon as it appeared, it would gradually unfold one of them every hundred years, and the process of unfolding would last for six to seven days, and at the same time, it would emit an odd flavor.
This kind of flavor is not useful for cultivators to smell, but for most of the demonic beasts in the sea, it is full of incomparable temptation. As long as the smell of this flavor, within a certain range of demonic beasts will smell the wind to find, and immediately scramble to devour it.
Moreover, the longer the year of this Nezhang Grass, the larger the range it can influence when it unfolds its leaves, and the temptation to high-level demonic beasts increases as well.
It is said that there was once a YuanYing stage master who happened to find a 1,000 year old Neishang Grass in the depths of the Outer Star Sea, and this grass was just unfolding its eleventh leaf. As a result, this person witnessed dozens of level 6 and 7 demonic beasts rushing towards him, and this person had to flee in fear.
As a result, after this discovery was publicized in the Immortal Cultivation world, many cultivators had the idea of using this grass to lure demonic beasts so that they could exterminate the demons and take the dan.
Because high-level cultivators came to the chaotic star sea to kill demonic beasts, the most headache is in the sea often roam for months, a demonic beast did not find the scene appeared.
For most cultivators, level five demonic beasts were the best targets, and level six and seven would have to risk someone dying in battle. As for demonic beasts above the eighth level, except for the old monsters of the YuanYing stage, cultivators of other levels were all looking to escape. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be hunting demonic beasts, but feeding them.
The number of demonic beasts in the Outer Star Sea was indeed large, but they were not easy to detect at all as long as they did not surface and lurked within the deep sea! If it is not a high-level cultivator can one day Royal weapon tens of thousands of miles, and have the divine sense to search the sea surface and the seabed of the magical ability, I am afraid that is in the chaotic star sea wandering for half a year, can not touch a demonic beasts is also a normal thing.
After all, in addition to the outer star sea is too big reason, most of the demonic beasts have their own unique means of concealment, is to use the divine sense to find, but also very easy to ignore and over.
Now “Neishang Grass” this kind of attract demonic beasts strange effect appeared, naturally caused a riot in the Immortal Cultivation World at that time, for a time hundreds of years of “Neishang Grass” is very expensive.
But soon these people realized that this kind of idea is simply a daydream. First of all, they have no way to grasp the “neon grass” the exact time of the spread of leaves. Said to be a full hundred years to unfold a leaf, but the error of two or three years is also a very normal thing, they these sea cultivators, can not effectively utilize this period of time.
Secondly, they are also depressed to find that these neon grass actually have once planted, less than a hundred years can not be pulled up the odd habit, otherwise neon grass will lose the unfolding of the leaves, send out the smell of the strange effect.
In this way, they will be fast spreading the leaves of the Nishang Grass to bring in the body, transplanted to the idea of the outer sea of the stars is also broken. So the name of the “Demon Grass” was soon abandoned by the monks, and the name of “Neishang Grass” was still restored.
Han Li was in a jade brief and saw the relevant information recorded as a joke. At that time, he had a flash of insight, and thought of the miraculous vial and this spirit grass skillfully cooperated to produce the strange effect of waiting for rabbits.
He immediately acquired a batch of neon grass from the market, and experimented in his cave. Sure enough, after dropping the green liquid on it, in as little as one or two days, as much as four or five days, the neon grass will definitely stretch out a leaf. And in the process of stretching out it also gave off an odd scent, which could not be described as good nor foul-smelling, it was a strange flavor that made an extremely deep impression.
Han Li was skeptical and released the two Blood Jade Spiders into the medicinal garden, as a result, these two spirit beasts immediately leapt away with great excitement, and without hesitation, gnawed away at the several neon grasses that emitted the odd odor.
Subsequently without this odor, these two white spiders immediately returned to normal.
Surprised, Han Li worriedly observed the Blood Jade Spider for another ten days before letting go of his heart when nothing unusual appeared.
With this killer weapon in hand, he was instantly filled with confidence in his journey to kill the demon and take the dan. After re-preparing himself, Han Li not only brought a large number of Nishang Grass seedlings and vials, but also specifically picked the sea area of Ning Cui Island, where there were many coral islands, and teleported over. After all, only in a place with many corals could the Nishang Grass survive ah.
Now, he laid a dragnet on this red coral island, just waiting to ripen the neon grass, so that the demonic beasts automatically sent to the door.
Han Li found a solitary coral reef at the center of the coral island’s ring, and moved the neon grass seedlings inside the jade box over.
Although he knew that the longer the year, the wider the sea area would be affected when the neon grass spread its leaves, he started with the hundred year old neon grass just to be on the safe side.
Han Li took out the vial from his body, and carefully dripped a drop of green liquid from the vial onto the Neishang Grass, and then began to rest his eyes on the nearby coral island, and the Qu Soul had long since returned to his side, all working together to build up his strength.
When the third day, the neon grass finally under Han Li’s eyes, there are signs of unfolding leaves, and exudes a strange odor.
Without saying a word, Han Li’s hand suddenly flickered with light, and several formation flags with different splendor appeared around him, and were neatly inserted on the ground in front of him.
Han Li looked at these formation flags for a moment, and closed his eyes again without moving his expression. He had already thought about it, if no demonic beasts appeared after a few days, he would put on another drop of green liquid and expand the range of the Nishang Demon Lure some more.
So that way, there would always be demonic beasts that would come to his door.
