Ghost Stench Grass
"No matter how depressed I am, I can't change the fact. Accepting the current situation is the only way out."
After much effort, Ling Fan crawled out of the garbage dump. Another headache awaited him – he was completely naked. Although it's not a big deal for a kid to be naked, it's still indecent, especially for someone like him, it's hard for him to accept.
What should i do? He looked around anxiously, trying to find a solution. Suddenly, his eyes lit up!
Did he find some clothes? Of course not. The intense excitement in his eyes only occurs when he discovers strange things.
Following his gaze, it turned out to be a bunch of tangled weeds. Could these broken weeds be something valuable?
In this world, people consider these weeds as nothing special. They call them "garbage grass" because they always grow in places filled with garbage and emit an indescribable stench. Most importantly, these weeds are utterly useless to the people in this world and are considered even more worthless than garbage.
However, for Ling Fan, who comes from another world, these weeds hold a different meaning. He had given them the name "Ghost Stench Grass" and knew that they only grew in swamps where many monsters live on the cultivation world. Moreover, these plants were extremely rare in the cultivation world because they required the nourishment of miasma and took a hundred or even several hundred years to grow. It was precisely for this reason that the "Ghost Stench Grass" was exceptionally scarce in the world of cultivation.
But unexpectedly, this extremely rare "Ghost Stench Grass" was appearing in large quantities here. What could be the reason behind it?
Excited, Ling Fan didn't lose his rationality upon discovering the "Ghost Stench Grass." He didn't understand what was happening. Based on his years of research and observation, this "Ghost Stench Grass" shouldn't be able to grow in such an environment without the nourishment of miasma. But this time, it defied common sense, which puzzled Ling Fan.
Could it be that a special magnetic field caused a genetic change in the species of this plant? Ling Fan tentatively concluded this because the magnetic field here was significantly different from the magnetic field on the cultivation world. Its evidence can be infered from the position and color of the sun. To truly find the reason, Ling Fan would need to regain his cultivation base and spiritual energy.
Unable to determine the cause for now, Ling Fan stopped thinking too much and focused on observing the "Ghost Stench Grass." One good thing about Ling Fan was that although he had a strong thirst for knowledge, he was never obsessed over unsolvable problems.
It's worth mentioning that although "Ghost Stench Grass" is extremely rare in the cultivation world, few people truly understand its value apart from Ling Fan. This isn't just hype for Ling Fan; he genuinely has the expertise regarding this. In the cultivation world, his alchemy skills are unparalleled. His understanding of various plant properties is unmatched.
Regarding the properties of the "Ghost Stench Grass," Ling Fan spent a considerable amount of research time and discovered that it was a perfect catalyst for many poisonous mixtures. Moreover, through years of relentless effort, Ling Fan had formulated unique mixture such as "Stinky Fart Powder," "Rotting Pill," "Nauseating Stun Grenade," and so on using it. He held exclusive property rights over these mixture, meaning that no one else could reproduce them except for Ling Fan.
"Ghost Stench Grass" was one of Ling Fan's favorite herbs due to its rarity during his cultivation days. It was difficult to obtain, and the quantity was extremely scarce. Therefore, Ling Fan was always reluctant to use it and only took a small amount for experimentation.
Speaking of which, Ling Fan's "Stinky Fart Powder" and "Nauseating Stun Grenade" formulated using "Ghost Stench Grass" were a topic of fear and discussion among many cultivator in the cultivation world. Those who didn't fear or change their expression after hearing about them either had a problem with their brains or had isolated themselves from the world and hadn't heard about the power of these two things Ling Fan invented.
Why were "Stinky Fart Powder" and "Nauseating Stun Grenade" so remarkable? Is their toxicity truly that powerful?
Actually, it's not the case. In the cultivation world, many individuals who have high cultivation base have transcended worldly desires and life and death. Death can not make them fearful!
This makes it even more strange. Why are they so afraid of "Stinky Fart Powder" and "Nauseating Stun Grenade"?
Hehe... the real reason is that these two mixture left a terrifying impression on their minds. In their words, they had never seen anything as twisted or as potent as these two poisonous mixture. They believed that if they were to take these two things, they would go insane!
Let's take "Stinky Fart Powder" as an example. Once affected by this mixture, regardless of their sect or level of cultivation, they would be cursed with continuous and increasingly intense farts. The farts would not only be loud but also incredibly and nauseating!
Ask yourself, which cultivator would be willing to fart loudly and nauseating every day? Who would dare to use themselves as a test subject?!
Now, let's talk about the "Nauseating Stun Grenade." This medicine is even more extreme. Its biggest characteristic is its unbearable stench. How extreme is the smell?
Let me tell you, even a slightly weaker cultivator would faint with just a brief smell, while a slightly stronger cultivator would faint after taking five breaths, succumbing to a fate of dizziness. What's even more horrifying is that if someone is exposed to this stench for three seconds, the odor will penetrate their sweat glands and flow into their cells. Wherever they go, a nauseous stench will follow them for miles, and it will be extremely difficult to get rid of. It is said that if someone is affected and doesn't take Ling Fan's exclusive antidote, the stench will haunt them for life, even if they were ascend to become an immortal.
Therefore, in the "Who has the most poisonous poison" ranking of the cultivation world, Ling Fan's two mixture have always held the top two positions. In the "Who gives people the biggest headache" ranking, Ling Fan has never dropped from the top since he entered the list.
That's why, although many people know that Ling Fan studies all sorts of evil practices, they turn a blind eye. Many ill-tempered cultivators can only curse behind his back, saying, "This crazy guy is too twisted! Is he trying to kill us?"
However, it must be noted that Ling Fan's character is absolutely not a problem. Although he enjoys studying evil methods, he has never harmed anyone except for occasional jokes.
With that said, Ling Fan completely disregarded his image and rushed towards the "Ghost Stench Grass." He carefully plucked one and smelled it against his nose.
The unmistakable stench hit his olfactory nerves, and Ling Fan could responsibly confirm that this was indeed the "Ghost Stench Grass," and they were all high-quality.
Oh my god! What is this?
Among the large bundle of "Ghost Stench Grass," Ling Fan discovered an inconspicuous sprout. Could this be the "Ghost Sorrow"?
Speaking of the "Ghost Sorrow," Ling Fan hadn't actually seen it before. He had only learned about it from an ancient book. It was said that the "Ghost Sorrow" was a mutated version of "Ghost Stench Grass" and required the essence of hundreds of "Ghost Stench Grass" to form. Since "Ghost Stench Grass" was already rare in the cultivation world, it was even more difficult for the "Ghost Sorrow" to form. Thus, Ling Fan was seeing the "Ghost Sorrow" for the first time, and he couldn't determine if its specific properties were the same as the "Ghost Stench Grass." To understand more, further research would be necessary.
Oh my god! There are so many "Ghost Sorrow" here! Looking around, Ling Fan noticed that every few strands of "Ghost Stench Grass" were accompanied by one "Ghost Sorrow."
This sudden joy completely overshadowed Ling Fan's previous frustrations. He could be called a research maniac, and having so many precious herbs for him to study, how could he not be overjoyed?
With so many good things, Ling Fan rummaged through the garbage dump and found a few torn bags. Although they had many holes, it was better than having nothing. And so, a little kid, with his buttocks up in the air, started pulling out weeds without any care.
But the vast amount of herbs wasn't something Ling Fan could finish plucking in one go. Within moments, the few torn bags he had found were already full, and Ling Fan was sweating and panting, sitting on the side.
Ling Fan now deeply understood the agony of not having a cultivation base. He had so many treasures that he couldn't take with him. If it were his past self, with a wave of his hand, he could use his "Qiankun Space" to bring all these things with him. But...
"Qiankun Space" is a technique many people in the cultivation world know. It involves tearing space with spiritual energy to store items and things. However, it's impossible to tear space without a powerful cultivation base. So, although multiple people know this technique, each of them is undoubtedly a powerhouse-level figure. As for those unable to tear space, they can only rely on storage rings, bracelets, or storage bags to hold their belongings.
Thinking about the "Qiankun Space," Ling Fan wondered if the treasures he collected inside still existed. Those were the treasures he had gathered throughout his life, and it would be a great loss if they were gone!
But Ling Fan couldn't confirm whether they were still there now because he had no cultivation base. Only after he cultivated and regained the ability to tear space could he find out if the items were still inside.
