You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 280: Surge in Cultivation

After Xuantian Bailuan and Baiyu Qingtian Ape were satiated, Lu Xuan watched them leave and tidied up the courtyard before returning to his house.

He sat cross-legged on a white jade cushion, circulating the "Great Five Elements Technique," absorbing the surrounding pure spiritual energy into his meridians like a whale sucking in water.

The appearance of Liaoyu Fang gave him a deeper understanding. Even within the sect, tranquility was not guaranteed. Strengthening oneself would inevitably involve more interests, while weakness could lead to being bullied intentionally or unintentionally.

Using two young spirit beasts to guard the sect this time helped him avoid a possible disaster, but he couldn't rely on such luck every time.

Therefore, having deep cultivation and strong power was the most important.

About an hour later, Lu Xuan opened his eyes and sighed deeply.

"It seems like there's been some improvement, yet it also feels unchanged."

After an hour of hard cultivation, there was little change in the spiritual fluid in his dantian.

Lu Xuan had long accepted his mediocre aptitude in cultivation, his expression calm and unaffected.

"Cultivation isn't the focus; the focus is on those spirit plants in the cave."

Sensing the rich spiritual energy of the plants emanating from the mountains, Lu Xuan smiled.

For the next half month, he stayed mostly on the mountain peak, rarely venturing out, focusing on cultivating spirit plants and nurturing spirit beasts.

The appearance of Liaoyu Fang was just a slight ripple in his calm life, and nothing else happened afterward, which Lu Xuan was pleased with.

In the courtyard, A deep purple sword light danced like a startled swan, graceful like a swimming dragon, sword energy crisscrossing. Wherever the tip of the sword pierced, there seemed to be flickering starlight, dazzling and containing a strong killing intent.

With a clang,

The Purple Lightning Sword was sheathed into the sword scabbard, and the surging electricity on the sword body caused the ancient sword scabbard to tremble incessantly.

"The Starlight Sword Art can be considered mastered. I can try cultivating the three-star Starlight Sword Grass now."

He took out the tiny sword grass seed with faint starlight shimmering on its surface and planted it in the spirit soil, where strands of spiritual rain seeped into it.

[Starlight Sword Grass, a three-star spirit plant cultivated with Starlight Sword Qi. Mature sword grass plants contain a faint stellar power and can be directly used or refined into corresponding three-star flying swords.]

Feeling the detailed status transmitted by the Starlight Sword Grass seed, Lu Xuan shook his flying sword, and a strand of fine Starlight Sword Qi penetrated the spirit soil, entering the sword grass seed.

"I can sense the subtle needs of the sword grass. Compared to other disciples cultivating sword grass, this is my greatest advantage."

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.

Due to his limited talent, he hadn't even mastered the more difficult four-star "Thousand Illusions Sword Art" yet, so the Thousand Illusions Sword Grass seed had to be temporarily set aside.

He carefully surveyed the spirit field, observing the growth of each spirit plant.

In a secluded corner of the mountain peak, several Enchanting Spirit Peach trees stood beautifully alone.

Amidst the lush pink peach leaves, small peaches had already grown.

The peaches were white with a hint of red, faintly visible amidst the peach leaves, half hidden and half revealed, appearing extremely tender. The more one looked, the more they seemed to possess a natural charm.

It seemed to inform Lu Xuan of its fullness and juiciness, tempting him to bite fiercely.

Lu Xuan sensed something amiss with his spiritual awareness, and with a surge of spiritual power, a faint green light fell, flooding his mind with a refreshing breath. His eyes immediately regained clarity, and the small peaches amidst the peach leaves returned to their normal state.

He looked down at the Demon Ghost Vine at his feet, where various tendrils grew on the gray vines, wriggling in a strange manner towards the nearby Enchanting Spirit Peach trees.

Lu Xuan cast a purification spell, causing the Demon Ghost Vine, immersed in the sea of desire constructed by the Enchanting Spirit Peaches, to instantly return to normal.

As the Enchanting Spirit Peaches grew better and better, Lu Xuan clearly felt their increasing allure. With his early-stage Foundation Establishment realm spiritual awareness, a slight carelessness could lead him unknowingly into illusions.

With the Demon Ghost Vine, he left the area where the Enchanting Spirit Peaches were.

In the spirit field covered with Spirit Soil, the hidden essence grass, if not planted in the spirit soil, might be mistaken for an unknown spiritual grass nearby. Only by capturing the concentrated essence deep within the plant with spiritual awareness could one know the treasure trove of spiritual energy inside.

The Five Elements Fruits, under Lu Xuan's careful care, had abundant elemental powers that complemented each other, naturally transforming.

In another spiritual field, the Spirit Pine, sensing Lu Xuan nearby, grew increasingly spirited, welcoming him enthusiastically. The sound of the pine waves seemed to be cheering and rejoicing.

Lu Xuan gently touched the Spirit Pine with his spiritual awareness, feeling an unprecedented sense of ethereal naturalness.

Surrounding the Illusion Sound Bamboo, as the bamboo grew taller, cracks appeared on its body, and hundreds of strange sounds could be heard from afar, mingling together and assaulting Lu Xuan's eardrums.

Without a word, the Demon Ghost Vine stealthily lurked over. Many slender, gray tendrils protruded from the vine, directly blocking the numerous cracks.

The strange sounds in his ears abruptly ceased.

"It's true that one thing suppresses another."

Lu Xuan watched the tendrils of the Demon Ghost Vine greedily withdraw from the cracks of the Illusion Sound Bamboo, sighing in amazement.

He then arrived at the cave of the Earth Fire tributary.

In the scorching magma, the fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus allowed itself to be washed and cleansed. At the top of its irregularly shaped pale red crystals, a bright red lotus seed pod was extremely conspicuous, with subtle protrusions on its surface from which fiery red spiritual energy continuously permeated.

The fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus had entered the stage of forming lotus seeds.

On the concave surface of the overhead rock wall,

The central burnt-black Phoenix Wood had the illusionary image of a red lotus flame that had shrunk considerably. The petals of the illusory flame trembled slightly, as if they were about to burst at any moment.

However, the pair of illusory phoenixes inside, compared to before, were more solid, showing no signs of weakness in the lotus flame. They continued to dance joyfully.

"It's about time to replace the Red Lotus Flame."

Lu Xuan murmured to himself. Fortunately, the White Light Clusters of the Flame Fruits had produced several Third-Grade Red Lotus Flames, which were sufficient for the early growth needs of the Sixth-Grade Phoenix Wood.

Leaving the Earth Fire cave, Lu Xuan found that the Water Fire Grass he had planted earlier was gradually reaching full maturity.

With its dark blue slender leaves, the entire spiritual field was packed full, glowing with fluorescence, resembling a small dazzling starry sky.

【Harvested one Second-Grade Water Fire Grass, gaining one year of cultivation.】

【Harvested one Second-Grade Water Fire Grass, obtaining one Second-Grade Qi Nourishing Pill.】

...

More than eighty Water Fire Grass plants had reached full maturity, with slight differences seen in the semi-transparent progress bars beneath each spirit plant.

However, as they were all Second-Grade spirit plants and had reached full maturity, they wouldn't consume much Green Wood Source Qi. Lu Xuan decided not to wait for them to mature naturally, but instead directly accelerated the maturation of fifty Water Fire Grass plants.

The remaining thirty-plus plants were used to condense spirit seeds, in order to plant a larger number of Water Fire Grass in the next batch.

One by one, the light clusters were continuously collected, accompanied by various treasures.

One year, two years of cultivation, Second-Grade Qi Nourishing Pill, Third-Grade Water Dragon Talismans, formulas for Second-Grade Qi Nourishing Pill...

Of the fifty Water Fire Grass plants, sixteen brought cultivation rewards, instantly increasing his cultivation by twenty-eight years out of thin air.

"After years of hard cultivation, farming an acre of land might be more effective."

Lu Xuan felt the surge of spiritual fluid in his body, sighing with emotion.
