You Cultivate, I Farm

“Visiting the Abyss Star Cave has proven to be quite rewarding,” he said.

Lu Xuan held the bone handle of the Soul Lantern, gazing at the ghastly white candle encased within the human skin lampshade. On the candle, densely packed Yin Souls squeezed together, leaving no space unused.

The collected Yin Souls ranged from the high-quality souls of a Fifth Grade Golden Core True Person to numerous low-rank ghost creatures collected from the abyssal black fog. Though there was a smaller quantity of flesh and blood, it was of high quality, a small amount equivalent to several dozen pounds of common Demon Beast Meat.

As for essence blood, by acquiring the Blood Spring Clam Mother, a self-blood-producing demon, the issue of insufficient blood sources was completely resolved.

“Now it’s time to deal with you, little ghost,” he said.

Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and drew in the greenish-black little ghost that had quietly followed him.

Even though it was tightly bound by a net of pure Qi, its fierceness was evident as it bared its teeth and snarled at Lu Xuan, ready to attack.

Its body flickered between solidity and insubstantiality. If not for the “Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method” naturally restraining such ghost creatures, it might have escaped the constraints of the net and vanished into the void.

“This little ghost lacks many things, but it certainly excels in tracking.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but remark. After noticing someone spying on him at the Ghost Market, he had remained vigilant.

After leaving, he ceaselessly used the “Breaking Illusion Eye Technique,” which finally allowed him to locate this greenish-black ghost that seemed to have merged with his own shadow.

With a thought, a stream of Yin Qi drifted toward the ghost’s dark lips.

The greenish-black ghost, possessing considerable Spiritual Intelligence, suspected a trick and turned its head away.

“Eat!”

Lu Xuan commanded sharply. The net of pure Qi rapidly constricted, causing strands of black smoke to pour from the body of the greenish-black ghost as if it was about to be purified directly by the net.

The Yin Qi was offered again to its dark lips.

This time, the greenish-black ghost obediently swallowed the Yin Qi.

Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the body of the little ghost, and he immediately learned detailed information about it.

[Devouring Shadow Ghost, fifth-rank ghost creature, moves stealthily, extremely venomous, with a potent tracking ability. It can silently merge into a “Cultivator’s” shadow and, once fully integrated, can possess the “Cultivator’s” flesh body.]

“It’s actually a fifth-rank ghost creature; no wonder it’s so troublesome,” Lu Xuan thought to himself.

This so-called Devouring Shadow Ghost was not like common ghost creatures. If an ordinary Golden Core True Person was targeted by it, most likely they wouldn’t be able to escape. Those two Evil Cultivators likely used this fierce ghost to successfully carry out several assassinations.

“Although the Storage Bag might just have bits and pieces, I should still take a look,” he said.

Lu Xuan broke the simple prohibitions on the Storage Bag and took out the items one by one.

“‘Ghost-Rearing Technique’, detailing over a dozen methods for breeding and nurturing ghost creatures, each method extremely malicious, harmful to heaven and earth, not suited for a benevolent and kind person like me.”

“A ghost fetus? Yin Qi cannot uncover detailed information; it must be nurtured into existence using a secret technique. If given the chance, I might try this,” Lu Xuan thought, having kept a Demon Envoy in his cave abode but never having experienced rearing ghosts, so he became somewhat curious.

Beyond these, the remaining items did not pique his interest much: two fourth-grade little ghosts, Ghost Eating Evil Vine as prepared food, one fifth-grade magical artifact, all rather mundane.

As for the Storage Bag left behind by the old woman, upon opening it, he found two fifth-grade magical artifacts, a slender flying sword, incomparably sharp, and a black robe made from an unknown type of hide, providing strong defensive capabilities.

Apart from that, there were bits and pieces of Elixir Talismans and the like, none of which were of high grade.

However, there were nearly a hundred thousand Spirit Stones in total, which gave Lu Xuan a slight surprise and greatly changed his impression that Loose Cultivators were all poor and shabby.

“However, I did manage to get a few fifth-grade Magical Artifacts which could be exchanged for a substantial amount of Spirit Stones. Most importantly, the fifth-grade Gluttonous Insect Pouch and the ‘Ghost-Rearing Technique’ — one can be used to cultivate the sixth-grade Ghost Eating Evil Vine, and the other provides me with another method to obtain Light Clusters.”

Lu Xuan inwardly sighed as he made his way upward from the fifth level, returning to the first.

Afterward, he entered the Star Plucking Building from the entrance of the Abyss Star Cave.

He had not yet rented a Cave Abode in the Abyss Star Cave, opting to wait until the Holy Baby Fruit Mother Tree and the two Offspring Plants were fully mature before making a decision.

Upon returning to the Cave Abode, he immediately opened the two fifth-grade Formations. Spirit Beasts such as the Fat Bird, Thunder Dragon Behemoth, and Green Mountain Scale greeted him and circled around Lu Xuan, seeking his caresses.

After briefly comforting them, he couldn’t wait to go to the Spirit Field.

In the core area of the Spirit Field within the Cave Abode, there was Wu Spirit Soil, Thundersand, and Five Color Soil among other Rare Spirit Soils, where naturally the High Rank Spirit Plants were planted.

Lu Xuan approached the Eightfold Palace, which had entered the growth stage. Compared to when he left the Cave Abode, there was no discernable change.

He cast the Spirit Rain Technique to thoroughly nourish this seventh-grade Spirit Plant before taking out the massive Wind Aperture Stone from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

The numerous pores of the Wind Aperture Stone produced various sounds of flowing or rapidly whooshing wind, sending out strange wind gusts that enveloped the Eightfold Palace Spirit Plant.

Within Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense, the flow rate of Strange Wind inside the first level of the palace increased slightly, and the Spirit Plant radiated a burgeoning force striving upwards.

“A fifth-grade Wind Aperture Stone of such massive size should roughly suffice in cultivating the first level to success,” he observed.

Looking at the first level Spirit Flower surrounded by the eerie phenomena of strange winds, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel moved.

A seventh-grade E-Mu Green Thunder Vine, even only cultivated to the first stage, could yield the first layer of the ‘Divine Cloud True Law.’ This Eightfold Palace of the same grade, with eight Spirit Flowers on equal terms, should provide a Light Cluster reward for the first flower that is only stronger, not weaker.

After cultivating the other High Rank Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field, he moved to the Underworld Spirit Field Area.

“First, I need to establish a dwelling for the Blood Spring Clam Mother.”

Requiring a sea of blood environment and nourishment from Essence Blood to grow, the creature was a Demon Essence, making it inapposite to place it in the small lake where Spirit Beasts like the Fire Separation Flood Dragon grew.

Lu Xuan found an empty space in the corner of the Underworld Spirit Field, cast the Earth Pulling Technique, and quickly formed a small pond about two Zhang wide in length and width.

He then took out dozens of white jade small bottles; the bottles contained Essence Blood originally drawn for Flood Dragons. Given the vast quantity and lower quality, the Spirit of Flesh no longer consumed such Essence Blood, but it was quite suitable for nourishing the juvenile-phase Blood Spring Clam Mother.

Afterward, he filled the small pond with Spiritual Spring Water; the Water Dragon Essence Blood dissolved within, turning the entire pool blood-red and emitting a thick scent of blood.

Lu Xuan took out the Blood Spring Clam Mother, unfastened the Rune Chains, established a contract, and placed it into the pond.

This juvenile Demon Essence had always been kept within that white jade basin, hindered in movement and subject to harsh growth conditions. Initially unaccustomed to the small pond with the pure Blood of Dragon, it took a while to exhibit some signs of vitality, continuously releasing jets of blood.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan felt satisfied in his heart.

After planting three Soul Insect Fungi in the vacant Spirit Field, he planted the sixth-grade Fragrant Flesh Branch within the Underworld Mud Flesh.

Next, he approached the Ghost Eating Evil Vine, took out a fifth-grade Devouring Shadow Ghost, directly snatched a parcel from the ghost’s body, and stuffed it into the Ghost Eating Evil Vine.
