Chapter 623: Chapter 622: Let’s Eat! Not Enough Time, Bring on the Clones!
As expected of the Xuanyuan Family, the most mysterious and ancient family in Great Xia.
Chu Sheng followed Xuanyuan Qing to the first section of the Spirit Plant Garden.
A single glance revealed that even the lowest-grade Spiritual Plants were Fourth-Grade at minimum.
Things like Phoenix Feather Glazed Grass, Full Moon Dark Gold Flower, Bodhi Orchid...
The air was filled with a dense Spiritual Qi.
Although the effects of these Spiritual Plants varied, and some were even highly poisonous,
to Chu Sheng, they were all the same.
Just materials to be converted into Evolution Points.
’Even though the Evolution Points these low-grade Spiritual Plants can provide are minuscule, every little bit counts!’
’Besides, this all belongs to the Xuanyuan Family. I won’t leave a single scrap behind for them!’
Chu Sheng lunged forward without hesitation. Time to feast!
[Ding! Detected Fourth-Grade Spiritual Plant "Dew Condensation Flower." Absorbing Life Essence...]
[Evolution Points +20]
[Ding! Detected Sixth-Grade Spiritual Plant "Purple Heart Grass." Absorbing Life Essence...]
[Evolution Points +100]
...
Xuanyuan Qing stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching Chu Sheng bury his head and suck furiously at the low-grade Spiritual Plants, his heart filled with disdain.
’What an ignorant country bumpkin. A few low-grade Spiritual Plants are enough to keep him occupied.’
To outsiders, these Fourth-Grade to Sixth-Grade Spiritual Plants were already extremely precious items, not necessarily obtainable even with money.
But in the ancient Xuanyuan Family, they were practically no different from cabbage.
Just as Xuanyuan Qing was about to lean against a wall, close his eyes, and wait out this boring interlude,
a mosquito leg, glinting with a faint, cold light, suddenly appeared in his vision and rapidly grew larger.
SLAP!
The crisp, loud sound of a slap echoed.
A searing pain instantly spread across his cheek.
Xuanyuan Qing clutched his face. He was about to erupt in anger when his eyes suddenly flew wide open.
Before him stood a mosquito that looked exactly like Chu Sheng.
Not far away, the other "Chu Sheng" was still burying its head and sucking furiously at the low-grade Spiritual Plants, not even lifting its head.
"An avatar?" Xuanyuan Qing was stunned.
He knew, of course, that Chu Sheng possessed avatar-type Skills.
But in his understanding, even the most advanced avatar Skill could only replicate the original’s appearance and a portion of its strength.
It was absolutely impossible for it to use a special ability like absorbing Life Essence in place of the main body!
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and take me to the next section of Spiritual Plants," Chu Sheng said, flicking his foreleg, his tone filled with displeasure.
"Don’t waste Lord Mosquito’s mealtime."
Although he had no intention of letting these low-grade Spiritual Plants go, he wouldn’t waste his own time on them.
His Outer Body Avatar possessed nearly all of the main body’s abilities.
Back then, over Sakura, he had used his Outer Body Avatar to madly absorb Life Essence.
So naturally, there was no problem using an Outer Body Avatar to absorb Spiritual Plants now.
"Oh... oh, right away." Xuanyuan Qing clutched his stinging face and didn’t dare hesitate for a second, quickly leading the way.
He had seen with his own eyes how someone as powerful as Zhao Li was easily killed by Chu Sheng.
If Chu Sheng wanted to kill him, a single mosquito leg would truly be enough.
Last time, he had escaped by feigning death. If he angered Chu Sheng this time, he would be dead for good.
And even if Chu Sheng killed him, he would have died for nothing.
Before long, Xuanyuan Qing brought Chu Sheng to the second Spirit Plant Garden.
The Spiritual Plants here were clearly a tier higher, all of them Seventh-Grade to Ninth Grade.
Each one emanated a dense Spiritual Qi and was incomparably precious.
Back on Hong Kong Island, the Spiritual Plant that Mu Family Patriarch Mu Xiong regarded as his life and a family heirloom was merely a single Eighth-Grade Void Escape Lotus.
But here, there were at least a hundred Void Escape Lotuses as far as the eye could see!
’Is this the difference between an ordinary Noble Family and a top-tier one?’
Chu Sheng couldn’t help but sigh with emotion before unceremoniously summoning a second Outer Body Avatar.
"Suck them dry! Don’t leave a single one behind!"
Receiving the command, the Outer Body Avatar immediately pounced on the nearest Seventh-Grade Spiritual Plant.
[Ding! Detected Seventh-Grade Spiritual Plant "Crimson Flame Vermilion Fruit." Absorbing Life Essence...]
[Ding! Detected "Fire Realm" (Perfection Level). Absorbing...]
...
"Lord Divine Mosquito, all the Spiritual Plants are here,"
Xuanyuan Qing said cautiously, hoping Chu Sheng would be satisfied.
The response he got was a solid slap.
SLAP!
Chu Sheng roared, "Who the hell do you think you’re fooling!"
"The Xuanyuan Family has a legacy of thousands of years and profound resources, and all you have is this common trash?"
"If you don’t obediently lead the way, Lord Mosquito will cripple you right now and send you to keep your skinned brother company!"
Both of Xuanyuan Qing’s cheeks were swollen like a pig’s head, and tears were about to fall.
But he didn’t dare to resist and could only obediently lead the way.
This time, they walked for a full ten-plus minutes before arriving in front of a Spirit Plant Garden shrouded by an Emperor Level Barrier.
This Spirit Plant Garden wasn’t large, only about a dozen acres, with a bubbling Spiritual Spring in the middle specifically for irrigating the plants within.
But every single Spiritual Plant inside radiated a terrifying aura; the weakest among them were King-level!
They were packed so densely, they were countless!
Next to the Spiritual Spring, there were even a few Emperor Level Spiritual Plants, wreathed in a celestial aura!
Holy cow!
Chu Sheng’s eyes went wide.
The Xuanyuan Family was truly loaded!
’Back then, the Spiritual Plant reserves in the Sakura Country’s national treasury were only about this much!’
"Hurry up and open the Barrier."
Seeing Xuanyuan Qing standing motionless, Chu Sheng urged impatiently.
Xuanyuan Qing said with a miserable expression, "Lord Divine Mosquito, it’s not that I won’t take you in, it’s that I really don’t have enough authority!"
"Only the Ancestor is qualified to open this King-level Spirit Plant Garden."
Chu Sheng looked up and shouted at the sky, "Old fool! Hurry up and open this Barrier and let Lord Mosquito in. Don’t just play deaf and dumb up there!"
But after waiting for a long time, the sky remained silent. Xuanyuan Changfeng gave no response at all.
’This old codger... no wonder he agreed so readily. So this was his little trick,’ Chu Sheng snorted inwardly.
Xuanyuan Changfeng was definitely monitoring this place in secret.
He would have heard every word Chu Sheng said loud and clear.
The reason he was playing deaf and dumb was that he couldn’t bear to part with these precious Spiritual Plants.
’I let you eat, but if you don’t have the ability to get to the food, then you can’t blame me.’
"You really think Lord Mosquito is out of options?"
Chu Sheng sneered and raised a sharp foreleg.
Realm-Breaking Claw!
A black light, imbued with the power of the Space Law, clawed viciously at the Barrier.
He was now at the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm, and his Soul Power was on a completely different level than before.
Tearing a small opening in an Emperor Level Barrier wouldn’t take much effort at all.
In less than three minutes, a small gash was torn into the supposedly indestructible Barrier.
Chu Sheng immediately summoned a third Outer Body Avatar and had it fly through the opening.
"Go on in, don’t be polite. Suck them dry for me."
"Especially those Emperor Level ones. Get them first!"
After giving the order, Chu Sheng released his foreleg.
The opening in the Barrier instantly healed, returning to its original state.
Xuanyuan Qing watched the Outer Body Avatar inside the Barrier embrace an Emperor Level Spiritual Plant and begin to gnaw on it frantically. He felt like his world was collapsing.
As a direct descendant of the Xuanyuan Family, he had never even set foot inside the King-level Spirit Plant Garden in his entire life!
But now, he could only watch helplessly as a mosquito wantonly ravaged a thousand years of his family’s accumulated wealth!
