Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World

Chapter 84 – 20 Corpses Found Near Florida Man's Farm, "Munch-Munch, Nom-Nom Meow" Said the Murderer

Late afternoon, Leo woke up and came out to check on the disciples, hoping that nobody messed up anything. When he came out, the first thing he saw was a dried stain of puke and discarded packages of toothpaste, toothbrushes, and soap bars. However, no disciple was in sight.

"Ah, I forget to put a public trash bin in here. My fault."

As Leo was a reasonable man, he rarely blamed others or got angry at the messes someone made. He collected the junk and picked up a mop to clean the floor.

After cleaning up the stains and the trash, it was time for some investigation. He needed to know who caused the messes.

Leo went out and looked at the farmlands. Then, he flinched.

Each farm plot was supposed to be only 100 square meters, and three farmlands shouldn't occupy a lot of lands. However, in front of Leo, each farm plot expanded to 900 square meters.

The first farm plot was directly opposite the general store. As Leo had ordered the farmer mannequin, it was used to grow potatoes. The second and third farm was originally next to the first farm plot. However, it was moved 10 meters away.

Leo paused for a moment to think. Then, he smacked his forehead.

"Right. I moved them last night. Silly me."

.

After Leo upgraded the farmland to level 8, they unlocked a new feature. Instead of sticking to the 10x10 area, Leo was allowed to expand them, just like how the domain expansion worked.

Leo spent 1,000 YOL to move a structure in the domain. Afterward, he increased the size of each farm to 30x30, allowing the mannequins and the disciples to have more work to do.

Three 900 square-meter farmlands grew three different crops as planned. The chilies and tomatoes grew up nicely, and they were stored in the second granary.

While Leo admired the farms, he noticed a few disciples in the tomato field. He went to see them and check the newly grown crops.

Just like what had happened to the potatoes, the tomato plants were huge. Their height reach five meters, and each tomato came out in a basketball size.

The sizes were not the only strange thing there. The fully grown tomatoes were dark blue, and they emanated cold air. The plants and leaves were also covered by a thin layer of glacial, and the temperature on the farm was in the minus.

Standing on the giant farm, Leo wryly smiled. He remembered why he moved them far apart.

"Damn farms. Why are you doing this to me? Why are you so big?! Fine. I'll check the chili farm later."

Leo picked up a fresh blue tomato and carried it to the alchemy workshop. When he arrived, he found ten disciples, Gao Yan, and Wu Buyi, staring and learning the concoction method from the third workshop.

Leo ignored them and went to the first workshop. He ordered the neck-twisting mannequin to stop making rejuvenate tea.

The mannequin rotated its neck to look behind. Upon finding Leo, its eyes blinked. Then, it resumed its work. A few minutes later, it completed another batch of tea. As usual, it came out as pinnacle grade, and there were two liters in the cauldron.

[Pill Making]

.

Investment in the workshop was always a good thing as it kept surprising him. By just one point in the quantity level, each successful batch was doubled. The other workshop also produced 60 yang flame pills every time it completed one batch.

'Next time, I'll add more quantity level. Once I max it, I should start mass-producing those immortal pills. I wonder how many years of lifespan the pinnacle-grade immortal pills can give me.'

As the cauldron was free, Leo tossed the huge tomato in the cauldron and researched it.

It had been a while since Leo last researched new material. He hoped that the new crop was different from the Fiery Yang Tomato in the granary.

.

Arctic Yin Tomato

Can only be found in a mystic realm in a freezing climate. It contains a thick amount of Water Essence, and it can be refined into water-type cultivation pills. As yin tomatoes are freezing cold, it is not recommended to use it for food as it can freeze one's blood upon consumption.

[Pill Recipe – Yin Ice Dan]

One Arctic Yin Tomato

One Yin Catalyst

Water Element Catalyst

Water Essence

.

It was the counterpart of the Fiery Yang Tomatoes. Leo raised his eyebrows as he was happy with this discovery. He already had too many yang flame dans, and he needed something different.

"Good timing. But do I have yin catalysts?"

Leo went to check both granaries to see if he had a yin catalyst for the recipe. Then, he checked a chest refrigerator, which he placed there to preserve rare ingredients.

Fenrir's livers, hearts, and a portion of blood were still in there. Fortunately, the fridge was locked, and Cat didn't steal them.

"Right. Can I substitute the yin catalyst with yin liquid? Come to think of it, I haven't collected those mutated guys yet."

Leo thought of the cultivators in the northern camp that he had maimed. At first, he interrogated them about why they invaded his store, but they all died and mutated before they could confess.

He wondered if their blood turned into yin liquid yet. He kicked the ground, leaped over buildings, and headed north.

WHOOSH

In less than a minute, Leo traveled three kilometers. He landed at the former campsite of the Death Sword Sect's agents.

The area was easy to spot as it was pitch black. All trees around the camp turned black, and the grasses mutated into immortal grasses. Thick Qi in the area formed a faint fog, covering the camp area.

Leo found 20 corpses of the agents. Their flesh was already dark, and none of them no longer looked like a mammal creature anymore.

Nonchalantly but skillfully, Leo carried three of the giant corpses back to the domain. As for the others, Leo left them there so that he could come back to pick them up later. He didn't notice that the wind blew toward the north, carrying the radiation toward the Death Sword Sect.

.

Upon coming back, Leo put the corpses behind the junkyard. Then, he began butchering the corpses with his fingernails.

The grotesques bulking meat, purple fat, swelling black muscle fibers, intestine-like blood vessels, and squirming parasites came out from the cut wound. Black blood got on his hands and fingers.

Leo smacked his lips and licked the tips of his fingers because of a habit. It tasted like rotten pork.

Quietly, Leo hung the corpse upside down, using the recycling center's building frame as a tool. He stored the body's black blood in an empty bucket.

Purple fat and mutated parasites came out from the wound and fell into the bucket along with the black blood. Leo rolled his eyes and grabbed one of the worms.

The black parasite had no eyes, but it came with a thousand legs like a centipede. Its shape and length were the same as a python, but its vicious hook mouth and blade-like tail were nightmare-inducing. Leo could tell that the disciples would have squealed like a blond in a horror movie had they seen them.

Leo hurled the parasite into the giant hot pool of the recycling center.

PLOP

The parasite fell into the acid liquid. It screeched for a moment before it vanished into atoms.

KLUK-KLUK

A new spirit stone came out from the recycling machine. Leo left it there and proceeded to remove other useless worms. Because nobody could do this job, Leo sat there, getting rid of the annoying pests.

.

.

A day passed by quickly. Leo looked at the sky, but it was already dark. However, he hadn't finished draining the 20th body's blood and removing the parasites.

"All-nighter, it seems."

Leo shrugged and carried the 19th bucket of black blood to the first granary. He stored them in a new upgraded chest fridge. Then, he locked it.

Cat was there when Leo brought in a new bucket of blood. She salivated and licked Leo, begging to get a dib.

"Nom-Nom Meow?"

Leo rolled his eyes, "You ate a lot already. These are my alchemy materials. You can't have it."

"No Nom?"

"No. No nom-nom."

"…"

Cat pouted. She stomped out of the building and sprinted toward the north. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Leo followed after it as he was worried about the last corpse. Unfortunately, Leo was too late. Cat snatched the wet corpse and started eating it.

"DAMMIT, DAMN CAT! That's mine!"

"MUNCH-MUNCH NOM-NOM MEOW!"

Cat chewed it in front of Leo to mock him. She smirked and picked up the bucket of black blood and parasites. She sipped it like tea and chewed the worms inside.

"Oi, that's unhealthy. Those are parasites. They probably have a billion eggs in them, and they will grow inside you. Do you want those worms to eat you from the inside?"

"Nyaha, Meow!"

"You can deal with them? Yeah, right. Keep that attitude, and you will get in trouble. Do you know what the people in my world always said? Around, you fuck. Find out, you will!"

"Meow, Meow?"

"Hah?! Who told you that?"

"Munya Meow <3"

"What do you mean, Great Cathulhu?"

Cat explained to Leo that she had received a revelation from a mysterious voice after Leo had created the flying island. Also, Cat bragged that she would officially challenge the heavenly tribulation and become a proper 7th-stage monster tomorrow morning.

Leo frowned as he found Cat's story unbelievable. He took a mental note that he would check the portal later.

.

.

On the mystic realm portal platform, the four statues remained the same. As usual, the round creature with cat ears and octopus tentacles sang in a voice that no one but Cat could hear.
