You Cultivate, I Farm

In the cave abode at present, the Protective Arrays were mainly the Fifth-Grade Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array and the Cloud Bamboo Arrow Formation, providing dual-layered defense.

However, even with the protective effects of these two Fifth-Grade Formations stacked, they were far inferior to this Sixth Grade Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array.

He held the Array Plate in one hand, his Spiritual Sense probing into it, and then set up the Array Plate in the center of the cave abode.

With a thought, a faint white ripple rapidly spread from the position of the Array Plate and reached the outside of the cave abode in an instant.

A thin frost silently appeared, and in a moment, the outside of the cave abode was adorned with icy crystalline cliffs formed of ice-cold crystal stones.

Lu Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a golden yellow Peacock King Sword Qi, which howled and lightning-quickly pierced through a crystalline cliff; without losing momentum, it pierced through a second and then stopped only at the third cliff before the Sword Qi finally dissipated.

“The Peacock King Sword, unlike ordinary Five-Grade Flying Swords and having been refined by me into a Magic Treasure, has its might enhanced even further; yet, it can only penetrate two crystalline cliffs, which shows the strength of this Sixth-Grade Formation’s defense,” he remarked.

Lu Xuan felt a quiet admiration.

The crystalline cliffs were layered upon each other, mountain atop mountain, their total number unknown, and entering the formation would subject one’s flesh body and divine soul to the severe cold, making it easy to get lost therein.

After a brief experiment by Lu Xuan, the myriad of crystalline cliffs outside the cave abode immediately disappeared silently, as if they had never existed.

“From now on, I can use the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array to protect this cave abode; as for the other two Fifth-Grade Formations, they can later be moved to the Abyss Star Cave,” Lu Xuan thought to himself.

After all, there were two Seventh Grade Spirit Plants here; the stronger the protection, the better.

The harvested Snow Barrier Ice Jade Lotus was of little use to him at the moment; he stored it in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch to find an opportunity to sell it in the future.

That day, as Lu Xuan was cultivating Spiritual Plants in a Spirit Field, his Spiritual Sense detected a disturbance outside his cave abode.

A Communication Talisman was drawn to his side.

Spiritual Power was stimulated, and a familiar voice came from within the talisman.

“Friend Lu, the Protective Array of the Thunder Jetty Cave Secret Realm has been closed again and is estimated to be difficult to open for decades,”

“Golden Core Real People and those who have entered the Secret Realm have mostly exited. You can now enter the Thunder Sea without worrying about malevolent intruders into your cave abode,”

“The Thunder Jetty Cave that attracted many Nascent Soul True Monarchs has been closed?”

“Such a rare once-in-a-century Secret Land, it feels like I didn’t really participate,”

Lu Xuan chuckled softly, standing on a mountain peak and gazing at the distant spread of thunderous light.

Ever since the appearance of the Secret Land, he had clear cognition and declined invitations from familiar cultivators like Hermit Yu Lin, deliberately avoiding the area when he was forced to enter the Thunder Sea to gather Thunder Liquid.

He only intervened to save Xuan Kui, the Guardian Beast of the Liyang Taoist Sect, and incidentally acquired a Ghost Tumor Demon Wood Spirit Seed from a Golden Core True Person along the way.

Completely keeping himself outside the fray of the Secret Land.

Receiving this news, he felt considerably relieved.

Since the emergence of a large number of High-Order Cultivators in the Thunderfire Star Cave, he had been extremely anxious, fearing that some formidable cultivator might forcefully enter the cave abode and harm the many Spiritual Plants in the Spirit Field.

Now, with the cultivators gradually leaving and the Thunderfire Star Cave returning to peace, he could cultivate Spiritual Plants with a peaceful mind.

“One wonders how many cultivators obtained great fortunes in the Secret Land…”

Lu Xuan mused.

Such a rare Secret Land would naturally result in a large amount of Treasure Items being found, and those who managed to grab them were not few.

But presumably, more cultivators merely became stepping stones under others’ feet, helping them step into a broader world.

“Fortunately, I have my own unique track to run on,” Lu Xuan thought.

Thinking of this, a smile inevitably crossed Lu Xuan’s face.

Other Golden Core Real People and even Nascent Soul True Monarchs, risking their lives and enduring numerous perilous situations, might just have a chance to obtain a tremendous fortuitous treasure item, whereas he only needed to stably cultivate spiritual plants to reap unknown treasure rewards from the light cluster.

Safe, reliable, yet with a touch of thrilling unpredictability—what need was there to explore any secret lands?

Thinking of this, a subtle sense of superiority arose within him, further motivating him during the cultivation of spiritual plants.

In the Sword Grass Spirit Field Area, after two five-grade Sword Grass matured, the vast spirit field was only planted with over thirty third-grade Thunderous Sword Grass.

However, possessing a strange treasure like the Dongxuan Sword Stele and the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath that could nourish and improve spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan was confident he could obtain higher rank Sword Grass in a short time.

“Five Thunderous Sword Grass have matured.”

Lu Xuan looked at the several Thunderous Sword Grass whose translucent progress bars were full and muttered quietly.

Resembling straight flying swords, their tips pointing straight to the sky, with delicate silver-white lightning twining around their bodies, the Sword Grass was exceptionally appealing.

Lu Xuan picked each of the five Thunderous Sword Grass one by one.

Such innate sword instruments, although somewhat redundant for him at this stage, would be extremely popular in a grocery store.

After harvesting the five Thunderous Sword Grass, five white light clusters subsequently appeared, twinkling slightly before Lu Xuan.

He transformed his hand into a residual image, swiftly and lightly touching the five white light clusters.

The light clusters silently shattered, turning into five slender rivers of light that surged into Lu Xuan’s body.

[Harvested one third-grade strange species Thunderous Sword Grass, obtained a fourth-grade talisman, Wind-Thunder Sword Talisman.]

A talisman shaped like a sword tip appeared in his palm, within it a storm raging, lightning flashing, and thunder roaring—a scene resembling the apocalypse.

Focusing his mind on it, he quickly learned the detailed information about this fourth-grade Wind-Thunder Sword Talisman.

[Wind-Thunder Sword Talisman, fourth-grade sword talisman, contains infinite sword qi imbued with the powerful force of wind and thunder. Upon activation, it releases endless wind-thunder sword qi; when all sword qi is discharged, it can seriously injure or even kill a cultivator in the mid to late Foundation Establishment stages.]

“Just an ordinary fourth-grade sword talisman,” Lu Xuan briefly commented.

[Harvested one third-grade Thunderous Sword Grass, obtained a treasure item, “Sword Talisman Commentary”.]

As the thought passed, a flood of information surged into Lu Xuan’s sea of consciousness.

[“Sword Talisman Commentary”, written by a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator who specializes in both talisman making and Sword Dao. After years of searching, experimentation, and study, they devised several methods for crafting sword talismans ranging from second to fourth rank.]

Lu Xuan stood in place, quietly absorbing and digesting the tide of information.

Almost dreamily, he seemed to have acquired extensive experience in crafting sword talismans; selecting materials, safely imprinting sword qi on talismans, matching sword qi attributes with talisman materials, and many tips for crafting sword talismans…

“I’ve learned another talisman crafting skill,” Lu Xuan thought to himself with a silent chuckle.

“Just wanted to farm, how did I unwittingly become a master of numerous cultivation arts?”

The other three white light clusters brought Lu Xuan one fourth-grade Wind-Thunder Sword Talisman and two “Sword Talisman Commentary” experience packages.

After absorbing the two experience packages again, he approached proficiency in crafting sword talismans, as if he had been immersed in talisman making for a decade and had crafted countless sword talismans.

“This also counts as another way to earn spirit stones,” he thought.

Sword talismans, highly popular in talisman stores for their strong attack power and instantaneous activation, could save lives in critical moments. Many cultivators liked to have them as their secret weapon.

Of course, it was very difficult to match Lu Xuan’s standard, who wasn’t worried about insufficient firepower and carried tens or hundreds of fourth-grade sword talismans with him.
