I PRACTICE FARMING WHILE THE REST CULTIVATES

Chapter 1004: Chapter 102: Special Helper

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light cluster.

In an instant, the light cluster silently shattered, turning into a sky full of tiny light points that surged upwards. Then, swiftly condensing into a slender river of light, it flowed into Lu Xuan’s body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

“The Tree Spirit Monster has broken through to the Fifth Rank and obtained a Sixth Grade Treasure, the Millennium Ancient Tree Heart.”

As the thought dissipated, a piece of strange wood suddenly appeared before Lu Xuan.

The surface of the wood was mottled with a cyan color, emanating an ancient aura. Upon closer inspection, one could see a fingertip-sized, emerald green light orb at the center.

…

The emerald green orb gently rotated, releasing a faint yet exceptionally pure vitality of flora.

His mind focused on the ancient wood, and the detailed information about it was immediately revealed.

“Millennium Ancient Tree Heart, a Sixth Grade Treasure Item that contains the essence of ancient trees over a thousand years old. It is extremely beneficial for the growth of Wood-Related Monsters and Demon Beasts. It can also be used to create Wood-Related Magical Treasures or cores for High Rank Puppets.”

“Another Sixth Grade Millennium Ancient Tree Heart.”

Lu Xuan examined the mottled ancient wood before him, feeling a silent sense of amazement.

“The Grass Puppet had once refined a piece of it, becoming a High Rank Puppet. Refining this piece, however, wouldn’t yield as significant a benefit.”

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to keep the Millennium Ancient Tree Heart for now and deal with it later, according to his needs.

The second batch of Little Tree Maidens brought back from the Green Wood Star Cave amounted to ten in total.

With the similar growth environments of the numerous Tree Maidens, their strengths were quite close to each other. After the first one advanced to a Fifth Rank Monster, the remaining nine were only a hair’s breadth away from their breakthrough.

However, with pressing matters at hand, Lu Xuan had to prioritize helping the Xuan Ji Tree Mother with the passageway issue, and so couldn’t afford the patience to wait for the harvest of light clusters.

“This time, going into the Tree Realm within the Green Wood Star Cave to help lay down a few minor Prohibitions and Restrictions, it’s unlikely that I’ll run into any conflicts with other Cultivators.”

“But just in case, I still need to find a helper.”

An image of his Linggu Transformation appeared in Lu Xuan’s mind.

“A Spirit Plant Master who is kind to others and not skilled in combat, and an Evil Cultivator who has committed countless slaughters in the Abyss Star Cave—probably no one could link the two together.”

A smile played at the corners of his mouth.

Then, moving at top speed, he entered the Abyss Star Cave and established contact with his transformation.

Upon returning to the Thunderfire Star Cave, he happened to meet Guo Bingqiu and others who invited him to explore the Tree Realm together, and Lu Xuan readily agreed.

Two days later, he joined up with Guo Bingqiu and the others.

Aside from him, there were five other Golden Core Rogue Cultivators who were going to the Green Wood Star Cave, among whom Guo Bingqiu had the strongest outward Cultivation, at the Golden Core Late Stage, and was regarded as the leader among the five.

Additionally, Lu Xuan was rather familiar with Ye Xuanyin, who was also in the group.

The other three were mere acquaintances with little interaction.

When the five of them saw Lu Xuan, they all hastened over.

“Ha ha ha, Friend Lu, I originally just intended to invite you out of courtesy, without expecting you to actually agree to explore the Tree Realm together,” Guo Bingqiu laughed heartily, his voice resonating through the surrounding area.

“Last time we met, Friend Lu showed some interest in the Tree Realm of the Green Wood Star Cave, so it’s foreseeable that he decided to enter the Tree Realm with us,” said Ye Xuanyin with a smile.

She had been slightly injured the last time and after being drained of Strange Poison by the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect, her Cultivation had actually improved considerably, now at the Golden Core Mid Stage Realm.

“Once we enter the Tree Realm, I’m going to rely on the five Fellow Cultivators to take good care of me.”

Lu Xuan’s acting was as excellent as ever, smiling and giving a cupped fist salute, the very picture of carefulness.

“Friend Lu jests, you’re already in the Golden Core Late Stage realm, and your Spiritual Power Cultivation is second only to Fellow Guo,”

said a calm and composed young man in a soft, complimentary tone.

“Besides, as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, you must have quite a few treasure items and techniques of last resort. It should be us who are under your care within the Tree Realm.”

“True, I am indeed a Sword Sect Disciple, but my entrance into the sect was due to my skill in Cultivating Sword Grass.”

“Because I’ve focused most of my attention on Cultivating Spiritual Plants, my cultivation level has suffered a lot, not to mention the cultivating of any Divine Ability Secret Technique.”

“As long as Friend Lu is careful not to leave our group, ensuring your safety within the Tree Realm will not be an issue,” Guo Bingqiu said with a smile.

He had once, when severely injured and on the brink of death, considered learning to cultivate spiritual plants from Lu Xuan, but ultimately he had to give up the idea helplessly.

The group of six swiftly navigated through the sky filled with fine threads of lightning, quickly reaching the peculiar passage they were headed towards.

The passage was more than three zhang wide and seemed to isolate all Spirit Grass and Spirit Wood behind light screens radiating green hues on all sides.

A verdant spiritual light danced across these screens, exuding a vibrant vitality, and seemed to move deeper into the passage, leading into some mysterious space.

No sooner had they turned a corner than Guo Bingqiu came to an abrupt halt, prompting the five behind him to become instantly alert, their charms and Magic Artifacts ready to spring into action.

On the left side of the passage, a handsome young “Cultivator” was reclining against the light screen.

The “Cultivator” was silent and expressionless, but his eyes were tinged with a hint of ruthlessness.

A thick and menacing aura emanated from his body, indicating the numerous killings he had likely committed.

At his feet, there was a big, round, meaty ball that, sensing Guo Bingqiu and the others’ approach, became excited, its pale red fur undulating slightly.

Guo Bingqiu cupped his hands in greeting and quickly shepherded Lu Xuan and the others away.

“Who was that just now?” A beautiful young girl, freshly promoted to Golden Core Real People, asked.

“That is an Evil Cultivator from the Abyss Star Cave, known as Ling Gu, who is currently believed to be at the Golden Core Mid Stage Realm.”

“His origins are extremely mysterious. He has not revealed any information for decades since entering the Abyss Star Cave.”

“He’s powerful, with several rare treasure items and practices an Upper Class Technique Divine Ability. He also has under his control an Evil Spirit of the Blood Path that can instantly drain the flesh and blood of Demon Beasts and ‘Cultivators.’”

“It’s said that he once faced three Golden Core Real People alone in a secret land, leaving two dead and one injured, the outcome brutal.”

“Hisss! So that was the formidable Evil Cultivator from the Abyss Star Cave,” a young “Cultivator” whispered, swallowing nervously, gaining a rough understanding of Ling Gu’s fearsome reputation.

“To be able to slay Same-level Cultivators, and that too when outnumbered…”

The six of them exclaimed.

It is worth noting that in fights between Same-level Cultivators, unless one side has a distinctly obvious advantage, it is quite difficult to achieve a killing blow.

“If I don’t have the ability to easily kill Same-level Cultivators with so many Magic Treasure Techniques at hand, wouldn’t my investments be in vain?” Lu Xuan stood behind them, a barely discernible smugness flashing in his eyes.

Not to mention other things, just the Seventh Grade Technique Magic Treasure alone, Ling Gu had more than one kind. With such strength, it was only natural.

“Friend Lu, if you happen to come across that Evil Cultivator Ling Gu alone in the Tree Realm, you must be extra careful,” Ye Xuanyin turned and whispered to Lu Xuan.

“Thank you for the warning, Fellow Ye, I will be cautious to avoid crossing paths with that Evil Cultivator,” Lu Xuan replied with a smile.
