You Cultivate, I Farm

Moments later, Lu Xuan and several Jindan Cultivators swiftly left the exit of the Black Water Star Cave.

Several miles away, a dark shadow slowly emerged from the black water.

Once it fully emerged, it turned out to be a mountain of flesh with a benevolent face in the center, looking towards the exit of the Black Water Star Cave with eyes full of endless regret.

“Gone, gone! No chance to eat the Tai Sui’s meat!”

From the side, a grey-black tongue suddenly darted out of the flesh mountain, murmuring non-stop.

“Can’t be helped, didn’t expect that No-Organization Spirit Plant Master to be mingling with so many Jindan Cultivators, making a rash move would easily make one a target.”

The head said with a smile.

“However, I’ve already gathered some information about him from other cultivators, knowing that he lives within the Thunder Fire Star Cave.”

“Just need to wait for an opportunity to properly inquire and search inside.”

“After all, he’s just a Spirit Plant Master, likely got lucky with his breakthrough to Jindan. When the time comes, I will let you have a full meal.”

A chunky arm inserted itself into the mountain of flesh, and pulled out a piece of red and black striped flesh, offering it to the grey-black tongue.

With a slurp.

The tongue easily wrapped around the flesh and blood, instantly absorbing it completely.

This tongue belonged to a powerful Demon Envoy that he fed within his body, sustaining itself on flesh and blood. The legendary Tai Sui’s Meat was an incredibly nourishing substance for it, and if it could devour the flesh and blood of the No-Organization Spirit Plant Master, its strength was certain to increase substantially, potentially even allow itself to reach the Nascent Soul.

Thinking of this, both the head and the grey-black tongue swallowed hard in unison. The flesh mountain then submerged back into the black water and disappeared from sight.

Thunder Fire Star Cave.

“Fellow Huang, Fellow Xuann Yuan, just tens of miles ahead is my cave mansion, would you care to visit and taste the Spiritual Fruit Spiritual Tea that I’ve personally cultivated and brewed?”

Along the way, Jindan Cultivators continuously left their small groups.

In the end, only Lu Xuan and two others remained.

Although there were less than a hundred miles left to the cave abode, to be on the safe side, Lu Xuan still decided to invite the two newly-acquainted Jindan Cultivators back to the cave mansion with him.

“Sure, we will take a detour to visit Friend Lu’s cave mansion.”

The two of them had a very agreeable conversation with Lu Xuan on the road, knowing that he had cultivated many Spirit Fruits of different tastes and effects. They became interested and happily agreed to accompany him to Lu Xuan’s Cave Mansion.

After half a day, the two left contentedly; Lu Xuan saw them off outside the cave abode. Once their figures completely vanished amidst the fine thunderous light of the sky, he immediately retreated back into his cave mansion.

In the center of the cave mansion, spiritual light circulated atop two large array plates, while various array flags fluttered, then plunged into the soil.

“With the Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array and the Cloud Bamboo Arrow Formation, two fifth-grade formations, even if a Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator were to invade the cave mansion, the likelihood of breaking out of the formations would be slim.”

The two formations, the Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array, were a superior grade illusion nurturing the killing power of five elements phantom beasts, and the Cloud Bamboo Arrow Formation, a strong offensive array. With the combination of the two, the defensive power of the cave mansion was immensely enhanced, filling Lu Xuan with a sense of security.

With a thought, a long, narrow fissure suddenly appeared in the void, and a gray-white indifferent pupil emerged from it, instantly appearing dozens of yards away, swiftly weaving through the air.

“The Void Nightmare Eye can see through illusions and monitor the surroundings of the cave mansion. If anything unusual is detected, I can be alerted immediately.”

Lu Xuan gazed at the grey-white pupils drifting in the void, silently thinking to himself.

“First, I must ferret out the cultivator behind that malice. It’s not too bad if they haven’t reached the vicinity of my cave mansion, but if they do come, I’ll need to figure out how to deal with them.”

Lu Xuan wasn’t absolutely confident in his own strength and his first thought was to seek strong backers. At the same time, he had a few options in mind.

The Thunder Fire Star Cave’s Qi Wuheng, the Star Envoy, with whom I have a certain relationship, and as a tenant of the Heavenly Star Cave, I pay so many spirit stones in rent each year; the Heavenly Star Cave has an obligation to ensure the safety of its tenants.

The Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, now that I’ve become a guest elder, could offer me some protection to a degree. I’m just not sure if the Commerce Association’s influence can extend into the Thunder Fire Star Cave.

Lastly, there’s the Strange Species Green Horned Thunder Son in the Thunder Sea, a seventh-grade monster beast with the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. It once solved a minor issue for me, and if the Thunder Son is willing, dealing with that malicious cultivator could very well be easy as pie.

“Three backup plans to consider, prioritizing whichever force is most accessible, of course, the main thing is to ensure my own foundation is solid.”

Lu Xuan’s expression became solemn.

Looking at the spirit plants covering the hillsides in his cave mansion, he felt a bit more confident.

“With the light cluster in hand, everything is possible.”

“Perhaps just by auctioning off a high-quality light cluster, I could easily deal with that scheming cultivator.”

In the cave mansion, several fifth-quality spirit plants were nearing maturity, and even the sixth-rank Phoenix Wood wasn’t far from ripe. Soon there would be several generous light cluster rewards, and my strength would increase considerably.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt much more at ease.

He went to the spirit field and found an empty area, taking out the jade box that Xu Kun from the Black Water Star Cave Envoy had given him as a reciprocal gift.

Breaking the simple prohibition on the jade box, a strangely shaped spiritual seed appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The spiritual seed was a turquoise color, its appearance resembling dew-covered fluff, light as a feather, exuding vigorous vitality.

The pale green spiritual energy gently circulated on the surface of the spiritual seed, giving it a fresh and natural air, and making one’s body and mind feel relaxed and comfortable.

“Judging by its vitality, it’s indeed a fifth-order spiritual species. It wasn’t in vain that I helped Xu Kun’s daughter identify the small issue with her spirit plant.”

A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth, feeling good about obtaining a fifth-order spiritual seed so effortlessly, which significantly lifted his spirits from the troubles he had just encountered.

He performed the Grandmaster Level Earth Gravity Technique, and in an instant, there was a subtle structural change in the spirit soil before him. An aptly sized fissure appeared, admitting the fluffy-shaped spiritual seed within.

With a thought, clouds churned low over the spirit field, flashes of lightning emerged and strands of spirit rain began to fall, soaking into the slightly loosened spirit soil, lavishly nourishing the turquoise spiritual seed.

After planting the spiritual seed, Lu Xuan focused his mind on the seed’s surface, and instantly, detailed information about the spiritual seed appeared in his sea of consciousness.

[Bottle Gourd Willow, a fifth-rank spirit plant, rumored to originate from a Buddhist holy land in a strange realm, lost to the Black Water Star Cave. The mature plant possesses strong healing properties that can nourish the divine soul and flesh body of all beings and has powerful curative abilities such as reviving the dead and mending bones. It can be used to refine corresponding elixirs or treasure items.]

[During its growth, it requires nourishment and irrigation with spirit spring spirit liquid of similar properties; one must not use demonically tainted spiritual liquid to avoid contaminating the plant and greatly reducing its spiritual nature.]

“A fifth-quality spirit plant with such potent healing effects is rare to see.”

In his memory, of the countless spirit plants he had cultivated, only one or two low-rank spirit plants with healing effects were grown during the Qi Cultivation Stage, and none during the third or fourth grades, let alone a fifth-quality spirit plant.

“Although the Hidden Spring Spirit Rain is extremely cold in nature, it is more than enough for the initial stage of cultivating the Bottle Gourd Willow.”

He thought to himself.
