Chu Xuan soon arrived outside the Hundred Woods Spirit Nurturing Array. Four corpse puppets were guarding the periphery of the formation, vigilantly monitoring everything around.
These four corpses, each at about the fourth level of corpse soldiers, possessed different spells: Rapid Eating Technique, Water Storage Technique, Purification Technique, and Self-Destruction Technique.
Initially crafted by Chu Xuan merely as cannon fodder, he later decided to train them for simple labor rather than waste their potential.
Thus, Chu Xuan named them based on the spells they possessed: Rapid Eating Corpse, Water Storage Corpse, Purifying Corpse, and Explosive Corpse. Their task was to prevent any zombies or supernatural beings from approaching; anyone daring to intrude would be swiftly executed.
This was also the case for humans reckless enough to venture too close. After all, Chu Xuan wasn't particularly concerned about losing a bit of his accumulated virtue for killing a couple of foolhardy survivors.
Moreover, these four corpse puppets were also responsible for tossing mushrooman captured by Long, Hu, and Bao into the array from various locations. Upon Chu Xuan's arrival, they emitted respectful roars, welcoming their master.
Chu Xuan nodded slightly and looked towards the center of the formation. There, fresh corpses of mushrooman had accumulated like a small hill, and many older mushrooman corpses lay on the ground. However, the essence of these corpses had already been absorbed by the array, feeding into the wood attribute embryos.
Chu Xuan's gaze then fell on the center. He immediately saw several irregular green crystals shimmering with bright green light, their brilliance far surpassing that of any Psionic core. Clearly, they had matured!
A look of pleasure crossed Chu Xuan's face. He reached out, and with a gesture of telekinesis, controlled the green crystals in his hand. Among these crystals, three were especially large and bright. They had been formed using the Psionic cores of Stinkhorn, Ink Cap, and Green Cap.
Chu Xuan estimated that these three crystals could be considered mid-grade spirit objects at the Foundation Establishment stage. The rest were at least of low-grade quality at the same stage. In other words, he had acquired a total of eighteen wood attribute spirit objects this time!
Moreover, more wood attribute spirit objects were nearing maturity. From their sheen, Chu Xuan predicted that within five days, he could harvest over twenty more wood attribute spirit objects. This would not only suffice to fully refine the Evil Wood Spiritual Body but also leave surplus spirit objects for future use.
Whether continuing to consume them to fully develop or even perfect the Evil Wood Spiritual Body, or selling them in the cultivators' market, all options were excellent.
"This way, I've essentially become a broker between two worlds," Chu Xuan mused with a light chuckle. "Utilizing mushrooman on Blue Star to produce wood attribute spirit objects, then selling them at a high price on Mystic Azure Realm."
An incredibly profitable venture indeed! By doing so, he acquired a vast amount of spirit stones, while cultivators obtained valuable wood attribute spirit objects—a win-win situation.
Several days later, as Chu Xuan had predicted, another batch of wood attribute spirit objects matured. After counting them, including the previous ones, he had three mid-grade and forty-one low-grade spirit objects at the Foundation Establishment stage.
