Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 635: Spiritual Plant Experiment

"How do you feel?" Su Yuan inquired.

Su Qian responded with evident delight, "I feel as though I've been granted an additional Chaos Origin Space! I can now harness the power of the Purple-Veined Nine-Leaf Grass! It possesses the astonishing ability to manifest Existence from Nothingness, demonstrating incredible endurance. Furthermore, it can transform into my armor and weaponry, and even exert restraining influence! Simultaneously, I can utilize this grass to comprehend the Great Dao of Chaos and bolster my Creative Power!"

With a simple gesture, the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass detached itself and flew towards Su Qian, seamlessly morphing into a suit of regal purple armor. Its seven leaves then elongated, becoming seven sharp swords that began to orbit Su Qian.

These leaves twisted and reshaped, capable of becoming seven potent vines to ensnare adversaries.

Having established this symbiotic connection, Su Qian had effectively undergone a transformation, escalating from a mere peashooter to a formidable cannon!

Su Yuan offered a nod of approval, stating, "The outcome is quite satisfactory!"

Su Qian expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Master."

"I have an experiment that requires your assistance." Su Yuan then added.

"Master, please bestow your command."

"Proceed to investigate whether the Scavengers exhibit any destructive tendencies towards Nothingness Spiritual Plants," Su Yuan instructed.

Su Qian paused for a moment, his expression shifting to surprise, before nodding in understanding. "Your subordinate comprehends!"

He promptly set about his task upon receiving the directive from Su Yuan.

Su Qian departed from Black Flame City, setting his course towards the other cities situated within the Third Frontline.

Along his journey, he unexpectedly observed a considerable number of individuals also traveling from Black Flame City to different locales, mirroring his own path.

Upon inquiry, he ascertained that the Scavengers within Black Flame City had been entirely eradicated. Consequently, numerous Dominators found themselves devoid of their usual hunting grounds and were compelled to venture into other cities for opportunities.

After an extended period, he finally reached another city, known as White Brow City.

This location bore a striking resemblance to Black Flame City. Su Qian opted not to enter the city proper, instead proceeding to an area just outside its perimeter walls to commence his search for Scavengers.

This meticulous search spanned over hundreds of thousands of years.

Within Su Qian's personal temporal framework, he had been diligently searching for such a duration when he finally encountered a wolf-like Scavenger.

The instant Su Qian detected the Scavenger, the creature also became aware of his presence.

Upon sighting him, the Scavenger launched a direct assault without the slightest hesitation.

Su Qian immediately turned and initiated an escape.

He swiftly evaded the Scavenger's determined pursuit.

Having successfully broken free from the chase, Su Qian instantaneously vanished from his location. In his stead, a Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass materialized, quietly taking root within the Nothingness.

After a brief interval, a black wolf drifted by aimlessly.

It cast a casual glance at the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass before turning away and proceeding elsewhere.

Su Yuan, situated far away in Black Flame City, observed this event unfold with an expression of surprise. A pure Nothingness Spiritual Plant had apparently failed to provoke any hostility from the Scavenger!

It was as if the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass were merely an insignificant blade of grass by the wayside. Even without displaying hostility, one might have anticipated the Scavenger to recognize it as a valuable treasure, yet it showed no inclination to harvest it.

Just as the black wolf was about to disappear from his line of sight, Su Qian reappeared. This time, he deliberately suppressed his aura, perfectly concealing it beneath the guise of the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass, though his underlying will remained perceptible.

The black wolf swiveled its head to look. Upon noticing Su Qian, its expression betrayed hesitation, as if it were assessing whether Su Qian constituted a viable target for elimination.

After a thorough assessment lasting a full five Xi, a predatory glint appeared in the black wolf's eyes, and it lunged towards Su Qian with lethal intent.

Su Qian transmuted himself into a wisp of ethereal energy, merging seamlessly with the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass.

Without any reservation, the black wolf unleashed its claws towards the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass.

*Clang!*

The wolf's claws met the grass's leaves with a resounding, metallic impact. The Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass effortlessly repelled the black wolf's forceful attack.

The black wolf launched dozens more consecutive assaults. Ultimately, unable to locate Su Qian, it abandoned its efforts and turned to depart.

Su Qian materialized once more, this time integrating the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass directly into his own being. The aura he now emanated perfectly mimicked that of the Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass.

The black wolf cast a backward glance, again paying no heed to Su Qian, and continued its departure into the distance.

"While low-level Scavengers might possess limited intelligence, their behavioral patterns offer valuable insights. It appears that Scavengers do not inflict damage upon Nothingness Spiritual Plants."

Watching Su Qian's efforts, Su Yuan fell into deep contemplation, pondering the underlying causes. It was his theory that if these Scavengers were indeed transmuted beings under the influence of a 'super existence,' then their decision-making processes would inevitably be shaped by that entity.

This supreme being likely held no regard for Nothingness Spiritual Plants, hence the Scavengers' apparent disregard for them.

At this precise moment, Su Qian made another move!

He lunged towards the black wolf, radiating the aura of a Nothingness Spiritual Plant.

The black wolf reacted with immediate hostility, counter-attacking Su Qian.

At this stage, regardless of how Su Qian shifted his form, the black wolf had already fixated on him as a target for extermination. Even if Su Qian reverted to his Purple-Veined Seven-Leaf Grass form, the Scavenger would relentlessly pursue him.

Clad in the Purple-Veined Armor, Su Qian swiftly dispatched the low-level Scavenger before him within a few exchanges.

Subsequently, Su Qian sought out another Scavenger. Upon locating one, he initiated a second trial, yielding the exact same outcome as before.

Having definitively confirmed the veracity of his hypothesis, Su Yuan felt a profound sense of satisfaction.

"While this oversight isn't drastically impactful, as more powerful Scavengers can typically identify it, it nonetheless resolves a significant predicament for me."

Su Yuan produced a Nothingness Spiritual Plant and, with a mere flick of his wrist, materialized it outside his Life-bound Chaos.

The spiritual plant rapidly expanded, growing to an immense size that completely encased Su Yuan's Life-bound Chaos.

Through this action.

His Life-bound Chaos was now significantly more secure. Even if a Scavenger were to pass by, it would no longer harbor any intentions toward his Life-bound Chaos.

He also deployed other spiritual plants to camouflage his Heavenly Fate Chaos, Seven Stars Chaos, and Taihao No. 2 Chaos, effectively concealing all three of his safe havens simultaneously.

Following the completion of this undertaking, an unshakeable sense of security washed over him.

Discovering this peculiar loophole was of paramount importance to his endeavors.

Precisely at this juncture, within one of Su Yuan's Chaos realms.

A figure burst forth from the Chaos.

The individual's aura fluctuated wildly, suggestive of a very recent breakthrough.

It was, in fact, a newly ascended Chaos Dominator.

Li Shanchang had successfully achieved his breakthrough and established his very own Life-bound Chaos.

Yet, as his ascension concluded and he turned to survey his surroundings, he beheld a colossal, verdant ancient tree.

Stunned by the sight of this enormous ancient tree, dwarfing his own Chaos by countless magnitudes, he exclaimed in bewilderment, "Where has the Chaos gone?"

He then noticed a slender fissure in the bark at the tree's core. Peering through this opening, he could glimpse the barrier of a Chaos realm – the very space he had just emerged from.

However, before he could re-enter, the crack sealed itself shut autonomously, barring his return.

Li Shanchang was utterly bewildered. He quickly retrieved the token bestowed by his Ancestor, infused it with his Dominator power, and contacted Li Chun.

Upon hearing Li Shanchang's account, Li Chun reassured him, "Do not fret. This may be a strategic placement by the Lord. Simply proceed directly to me!"

Following the provided directions, Li Shanchang set his course for Black Flame City to seek sanctuary with his Ancestor, Li Chun.
