You Cultivate, I Farm

As for the Fifth Grade Pure Bottle Willow, Lu Xuan decided to keep it in his hands.

Should the Nascent Soul elder from the Hundred Flowers Palace who had seen it really come looking, he feared that with Wen Qian’s mastery in spirit plants, it would be highly possible that he couldn’t recognize the high-rank spirit seeds the other party might bring.

Since the trip from the Thunderfire Star Cave was quite convenient, and he himself was staying in the cave abode long-term without the need for seclusion, he had plenty of time. When the elder came, he could simply have Wen Qian get in touch.

After instructing repeatedly, Lu Xuan left the shop and entered the streets of the Plucking Stars Tower.

He took the opportunity to buy plenty of common cultivation resources, especially some live low-rank demon insects and demon beasts, which were to cultivate the newly acquired sixth-grade Spirit Cage Seed.

After all, although there were many spirit beasts in the cave abode, he had some affection for them and couldn’t possibly use them to cultivate the Spirit Cage.

Lu Xuan then went to the Commerce Association branch building.

After entering the tall structure, he began dealing with various matters related to spirit plants.

Identifying the type, quality, and medicinal properties of spirit plants and performing initial processing on some of the high-rank spirit plants.

The newcomer was a tall, red-eyed elder with an eager smile looking at Lu Xuan.

It was Taoist friend Mu, who had previously been at this branch of the Commerce Association. With a strong background, he had gone back to the Mu Family a few years ago to make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Lu Xuan had obtained a rare evil weapon from him, cultivated the Fifth Grade Evil Origin Fruit, and also cultivated the sixth-grade Skeleton Demon Lookout for him.

His spiritual sense swept over and detected the powerful aura from Wood Daoren, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

“Congratulations, Taoist friend Mu, on successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage!”

Lu Xuan bowed and said with a smile.

“It was sheer luck, sheer luck! Thank you, Friend Lu!”

Wood Daoren’s face was flushed with red, indicating an extremely joyful mood.

“This breakthrough was fraught with numerous trials. Fortunately, my family was well-prepared, and I had the protection of the clan leader and seniors, which allowed me to luckily advance to the Core Formation.”

“Compared to you, Friend Lu, I’m far behind.”

Wood Daoren said with a laugh.

It was precisely this breakthrough to the Core Formation that made him realize the frightening extent of Lu Xuan’s capabilities.

A Loose Cultivator with no extensive resources, no powerful cultivation techniques to enhance his cultivation level, and no Nascent Soul True Monarch as protector, must have gone through countless hardships to reach the Condensing Pill Realm.

This made him genuinely admire Lu Xuan.

Naturally, Lu Xuan didn’t know what Wood Daoren was thinking at this moment. With a thought, he produced a bottle of Spirit Brew from his storage bag.

“Taoist friend Mu, this is Ice Marrow Spirit Brew, which I researched and developed after you returned to the Mu Family. It is a small gift to congratulate you on your recent success.” Ɍ₳ℕοꞖΕᶊ

“The gift might be a bit humble, please don’t take offense.”

“Thank you, Friend Lu. The Spirit Brew you craft is incomparable; I will have to store it well and savor it slowly.”

The elder took the White Jade Bottle, opened the stopper, and took a deep breath. Instantly, he felt a wave of cold and refreshing air hit his face, significantly clearing his mind.

He quickly resealed the bottle and carefully put it away.

“After your advancement to the Core Formation, are you still going to stay here at this branch?”

After a casual chat, Lu Xuan asked, curious.

“Indeed, after all, this branch is located within the Plucking Stars Tower. It sees many Loose Cultivators from the Sky Star Cave, and I get to see all sorts of strange and exotic things which satisfies my curious nature.”

Wood Daoren said with a smile.

“However, this time I came not only to perform my usual role in treasure appraising but also to serve as a guardian.”

“As for the daily affairs of the division, I’ll still leave them to Master Wen to handle. I am just an idle Taoist,”

“Being idle has its perks. If you have the time, feel free to visit my cave abode often,”

Lu Xuan extended an invitation to Wood Daoren.

He shared a substantial friendship with this tall elder, their temperaments compatible. Naturally, after the elder advanced to the Core Formation stage, it was only fitting to further cultivate their friendship.

“Certainly!”

Wood Daoren readily agreed.

Upon arriving and seeing Lu Xuan, he sensed the other’s genuine joy for his advancement, thus deepening his favorable impression and desire to grow closer.Upd@te by novg0.co

Lu Xuan was not one to harbor envy or jealousy. With the light cluster at his disposal, he had adopted a detached and transcendental approach to life—celebrating a friend’s breakthroughs or good fortune instead of coveting them.

After all, no matter how fast the breakthroughs, none could compare to his own, not to mention his luck with opportunities…

The more cultivators he befriended, the sturdier the legs he hugged, and the higher his chances of acquiring high-grade spiritual seeds became, reducing the likelihood of conflicts with others.

Wood Daoren played host and the two shared a hearty drink at a tavern in the Plucking Stars Tower before Lu Xuan made his way back home.

Amongst the soft thunderous flashes in the sky, in accordance with habit, Lu Xuan used his spiritual sense to confirm there were no anomalies around his cave abode, then unlocked the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array and entered.

A flash of thunder and azure light sped by, and the fastest of them, the Thunder Dragon Behemoth and the Green Mountain Scale Cub, rushed to his side in an instant.

Following the two beasts, Fat Bird flapped its wide wings and flew over leisurely while the Cloud Leopard stood silently on a large spirit tree nearby, with two clumps of grey-white fur on its ears forming the shape of a heart.

Several Tree Mothers flew over with a whining sound, circling around Lu Xuan.

From within the Bewitching Fairy Peach Grove, a tremendous grey-white tentacle reached out high, nodded towards Lu Xuan, then plunged back into the pink miasma.

Lu Xuan diligently soothed the spirit beasts and proceeded to the spirit field.

With the relocation of the weird spiritual plants to the Abyss Star Cave Abode, the once crowded spirit field suddenly became much more spacious, and the previously abnormal Underworld Spirit Field was also slowly returning to normal.

Lu Xuan entered the Core Spirit Field Area paved with Origin Breath Soil, planted the Azure Dragon Wood Spirit Seed, and then took out the Turtle Dragon Pearl, activating the treasure item to release the dragon Qi inside, creating a suitable environment for the growth of the Azure Dragon Wood.

“The dragon Qi contained in the Turtle Dragon Pearl is just adequate for now; rooting and sprouting should be no problem. However, it will need better resources as it continues to grow,” Lu Xuan thought to himself.

“Once my strength improves further, I’ll look for an opportunity to explore the Blackwater Asterism Cave. With the Turtle Dragon Pearl as a guide, perhaps I can find the Crocodile Dragon Cave Abode hidden in the waters.”

Next, he planted the Sixth Grade Spirit Cage Seed and Dragon Transformation Grass Spirit Seed separately.

After thoroughly nourishing them with the Spirit Rain Technique, he took out a jade bottle containing Water Dragon Essence Blood and poured a little over the Dragon Transformation Grass Spirit Seed.

In his spiritual awareness, the essence blood seemed to be drawn in by something, slowly seeping into the amber spirit seed, and the dragon-shaped phantom within appeared to be more active.

He then extracted a First Grade demon insect and released it above the Spirit Cage Seed.

Countless thin grasses suddenly spread open, and transparent threads stealthily emerged to bind the demon insect.

The threads continued to constrict, appearing fragile, but no matter how fiercely the demon insect thrashed, it could not break free.

It seemed as if a natural prohibition was restraining the demon insect.

Within Lu Xuan’s spiritual perception, the demon insect’s body slowly turned into a puddle of mush, which was dragged into the grass ball form of the Spirit Cage Seed.

“Quite vicious,” Lu Xuan muttered, watching the grass ball seed absorb the nutrient of the demon insect.

“I must put another layer of prohibitions on it. It’s fine for now with its low capability to devour demon insects and beasts, but once it grows to a certain stage, if I’m not careful, it might even devour my Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect and Medicinal Pangolin!” he reminded himself secretly.
