I PRACTICE FARMING WHILE THE REST CULTIVATES

Chapter 1006: 104

“All of this I leave in your capable hands, young friend.”

The Tree Mother slowly spoke and then her faint, mysterious breath gradually vanished.

The Little Tree Maiden immediately reverted to her chirping form.

“Take me to find that exquisite tree ring.”

Lu Xuan conveyed a thought.

The Little Tree Maiden’s body emitted a verdant spiritual light and burrowed into the ground covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

…

Lu Xuan followed right behind her.

He once practiced “The Great Five Elements”, which included the Five Elements Escape Method, so after entering, he moved as freely and nimbly as a fish in water.

In a moment, the Little Tree Maiden stopped in front of a massive tree root.

The diameter of the root spanned more than a hundred yards, with innumerable roots of various lengths spreading out in all directions, creating a strange space.

Sensing the presence of the Tree Mother and Lu Xuan, the spiritual energy in the middle of the tree root rippled like water, and a faint green figure emerged.

“Friend Lu Xuan?”

An aged voice reached deep into his Sea of Consciousness.

“It is indeed I, greetings to you, fellow Daoist.”

Lu Xuan quickly said while bowing in salute.

“How could I, I’m merely a minor tree spirit beneath the ground.”

“Has Friend Lu come to retrieve the exquisite tree ring? The treasure is currently being nurtured inside this ancient root; please wait a moment, I will retrieve it for you.”

The pale green figure blurred and merged back into the giant root.

Not long after, a segment of a strange tree ring was retrieved.

The tree ring was compact and exquisite, within it were countless green lines that became denser towards the center.

The myriad lines appeared to move haphazardly like flies without heads, but upon closer inspection, with the array formation expertise Lu Xuan gained from absorbing multiple Experience Packages of the Star River Formation Chart, he could vaguely discern the rules of the prohibitions and restrictions contained within.

“Who would have thought that after nurturing this exquisite tree ring for many years, a day would come when it could be of use.”

“I must trouble you further, Friend Lu, to help set up this exquisite tree ring.”

The pale green figure sighed, bowing deeply towards Lu Xuan.

“You can rest assured, I will not let you down.”

Lu Xuan said with a slight smile, full of confidence.

Following the same method, under the guidance of the Little Tree Maiden, he traveled through the subterranean world, successively finding seven exquisite tree rings.

Upon returning to the surface, his storage bag shifted slightly.

With a thought from Lu Xuan, a Communication Talisman appeared in his hand.

“Friend Lu, is everything well? That Vine Demon suddenly went berserk, and after it calmed down, we did not see you. Fellow Guo is worried about you.”

The deep voice of Guo Bingqiu came from within the talisman.

Lu Xuan cleared his throat and organized his words.

“Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist. I am well.”

“After avoiding that fearsome Vine Demon, I fell into a Prohibition and needed some time to extricate myself. Once I escape, I will rejoin you and the others.”

After leaving a message, he paid it no more mind and directly returned to the passageway’s location.

During this time, Lu Xuan sensed the presence of Guo Bingqiu and others, but he chose to bypass them directly.

Soon, he reached the boundary between the passageway and the core area of the Tree Realm.

A pure white flower appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand, which quietly bloomed. The slumbering Flower Charm Slave within awoke, stretched her body, and then disappeared as a transparent gleam of light before Lu Xuan’s eyes.

At the same time, scenes of what it had observed appeared on its petals.

“Seems there are still quite a number of cultivators searching for Spiritual Medicine in this region.”

Lu Xuan, seeing this scene, grew considerably bolder.

He walked openly among the towering trees, pretending to search for treasure items.

Suddenly, Spiritual Sense swept over him just as he anticipated; after confirming there was nothing unusual, it quickly moved on.

“Indeed, it’s the human traitors who are most suited for this sort of task. If Plant Spirits came instead, the target would be far too obvious. Once discovered by patrolling cultivators, what awaits them would be endless pursuit, leaving no time to set up the intricate Tree Circles.”

Lu Xuan ran a preliminary test and, following the Little Tree Maiden’s guidance, he arrived at the first location where a Tree Circle was to be buried.

He laid down a prohibition, took out the Tree Circle, and activated it using the method described by the Xuan Ji Tree Mother.

The verdant lines inside the Tree Circle immediately became incredibly active and surged into the ground.

Through Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense, he sensed the vitality of the area slowly increasing, although the degree of increase was minuscule, nourishing without a sound.

“Now, it’s just a matter of patiently waiting for the Tree Circle to fully integrate.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The noise made while setting up the Tree Circle was minimal; unless one was to scrutinize closely, it would be difficult for Jindan cultivators to detect with their Spiritual Sense.

However, the whole process was time-consuming. Any slight disturbance from the outside could possibly result in wasted efforts.

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Power subtly stirred, and the Golden Thunder Robe on his skin surface became more pronounced, isolating his aura.

He mentally controlled his Linggu Transformation to stop several miles away, likewise concealing his form.

As time passed, half an hour later, the Tree Circle had completely merged into the ground.

Only then did Lu Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Time was of the essence, leaving no room for respite. He quickly moved on to the second location specified by the Xuan Ji Tree Mother.

After a similar duration, the second Tree Circle was successfully set up.

The third, the fourth…

By the fifth, things suddenly took a turn.

The closer to the entrance of the passage, the stronger and more numerous the patrolling cultivators became.

Due to its remoteness, there were far fewer cultivators in this area searching for Spiritual Medicine and treasure items, so Lu Xuan could no longer be as conspicuous as before and had to stay concealed at all times.

His Spiritual Sense detected three patrolling cultivators rushing towards his direction at high speed. Based on their patrol routes, they would pass right above the buried Tree Circle.

At such close range, Lu Xuan dared not guarantee that the Tree Circle would go unnoticed.

He immediately came up with a plan.

With a thought, a blood light shot up into the sky in front of the three patrolling cultivators.

The blood light lingered; as if possessed by life, it rolled wildly.

Everywhere it passed, the aura of all living beings vanished rapidly, absorbed into the blood light.

“A Blood Path Secret Technique?! Could it be the Demonic Envoy in the hands of that Evil Cultivator Ling Gu?”

The lead Golden Core Completion Cultivator paused mid-air, his face solemn as he looked at the blood light speeding towards them like lightning.

“Form a formation to meet the enemy!”

The three of them, as if facing a formidable foe, were serious.

The blood light arrived in an instant, like a monster with a gaping maw, bearing a stench, seeking to swallow the three of them whole.

Black and white figures flashed by, and the Divine Souls of the three seemed to be bound by something, with a sensation of being pulled from deep within their Sea of Consciousness.

The two cultivators with relatively weaker cultivation were especially blank-eyed, appearing completely clueless.

Then, a pink thick rope silently approached the three, and waves of lustful desires emerged in their minds, as if they were about to sink into an endless sea of desires.

The Clear Spirit Jade Pendant tied around the waist of the leading middle-aged cultivator silently shattered, and a hazy Spiritual Light swept over, snapping the three back to a greater state of clarity.

“How dare you, Evil Cultivator! To attack patrolling cultivators!”

The leader roared in anger.
