You Cultivate, I Farm

“`

The remaining twenty or so Thunderous Sword Grass, Lu Xuan didn’t have the intention of harvesting the light clusters; he planned to condense their seeds entirely before using the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath to stimulate and improve them.

With the improvement from the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath for the spiritual seeds and the stimulation of the Dongxuan Sword Stele for the Sword Grass spirit plants, working hand in hand, the rise of the Fourth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds to the Fifth Grade was expected soon.

“What a pity, I left in such a hurry back then, I didn’t manage to pluck a few Sword Grass condensing techniques from the Sword Hall. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to experiment from scratch like I am doing now.”

Lu Xuan lamented then returned to the courtyard and began refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

This was currently his main means of earning a fortune in Spirit Stones and not something he could neglect. Fortunately, having absorbed many Pill Formula Experience Packages, he had reached a high level of mastery in refining Foundation Establishment Pills, with an extremely high success rate.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye after Qi Wuheng sent a reminder transmission.

That day, as Lu Xuan was playing with the increasingly lively Green Mountain Scale Cub, a familiar gentle voice came from the outside of his Cave Abode.

“Friend Lu, are you in your Cave Abode? Wang Fellow Daoist and I have come to visit you.”

Sweeping out with his Spiritual Sense, Lu Xuan could see two Golden Core Real People standing outside his cave, the Hermit Yu Lin, who had formed a good relationship with him in the Green Wood Star Cave, and Wang Sui Huai.

Hermit Yu Lin’s expression was calm, while Wang Sui Huai’s face was somewhat pale, and his breath was disordered, showing that he had been seriously injured during their venture in the Thunder Jetty Cave Secret Realm.

“It’s good that both Fellow Daoists are safe. Lu Mou has been thinking about you both.”

Lu Xuan immediately flew out and welcomed the two into his Cave Abode.

“The Thunder Jetty Cave Secret Realm has already closed. The two of us hunted several Thunder Beasts in the Thunder Sea and, after some rest and recovery, we came out. We decided to stop by and see Friend Lu before we left.”

The two followed Lu Xuan, with Hermit Yu Lin speaking softly as they walked.

“Mainly, we were remembering the Ape Demon Wine that Friend Lu brewed.”

“Haha! There’s plenty, there’s plenty!”

Lu Xuan laughed heartily.

“Eh?”

Hermit Yu Lin suddenly paused in his steps, frowning slightly.

“Has Friend Lu replaced the Protective Array outside your Cave Abode? My Spiritual Sense has detected some differences; it seems much stronger than before.”

“Isn’t that the chain reaction caused by the Thunder Jetty Cave Secret Realm!”

Lu Xuan’s face showed a helpless look.

“So many Golden Core True Monarchs entered the Thunderfire Star Cave, among them numerous powerful Evil Cultivators. Lu Xuan does not possess adequate strength, and with all of his assets in the Cave Abode, I was concerned about it being targeted by malevolent individuals. Therefore, I spent a hefty sum to acquire this Sixth Grade Protective Formation and upgrade the defensive capability of the Cave Abode.”

He mostly bluffed, with one part truth in his explanation.

“A Sixth Grade Protective Formation!”

“With this, Friend Lu’s Cave Abode can truly be described as impregnable.”

Hermit Yu Lin said with a light laugh, covering her mouth.

“There was no choice, I had to create such a ‘turtle shell’ for myself.”

Lu Xuan nodded as he spoke.

The three came to the courtyard, where Lu Xuan served the Spirit Fruit Spirit Paste and asked Wang Sui Huai:

“Fellow Wang, judging by your energy, did you suffer significant injuries while exploring the Secret Land?”

“Thank you for your concern, Friend Lu, I have no major issues.”

The reticent Wang Sui Huai stated slowly.

“In the Secret Land, we stumbled upon a hidden cave abode with a few decent treasures. However, another group also found it, and we ended up fighting over the treasures, which is when Fellow Wang was severely injured.”

Hermit Yu Lin added.

“It’s good that you both have returned safely. Judging by your expressions, did you both manage to secure the treasures smoothly?”

Lu Xuan asked with a smile.

“We were lucky enough to obtain them, but at a great cost. Fellow Wang sustained serious injuries and will need at least half a year of rest in his cave abode to fully recuperate.”

“One of our companions, unfortunately, encountered a group of Golden Core True Monarchs and was attacked. His Divine Soul dissipated, and he perished on the spot.”

Hermit Yu Lin sighed as she spoke.

“These are the inevitable trials in the struggle for treasures. Fortunately, the two Fellow Daoists were more skilled and obtained the cherished treasures.”

“`

“After absorbing and digesting, my cultivation and strength will surely rise significantly!”

“Lu Mou would like to honor the two Fellow Daoists with a toast.”

Lu Xuan raised the golden spirit brew in his hand and said with a smile.

“Thank you, Friend Lu!”

“Regrettably, we were not able to acquire the high-grade Spirit Seed you desire.”

Hermit Yu Lin said with some remorse.

“No matter. It’s the thought that counts. If you come across any rare high-grade Spirit Seeds in the future, be sure to look for Lu Mou, and the price I offer will not disappoint you.”

Lu Xuan said with an untroubled expression.

“We will surely do so.”

The two nodded in agreement.

“By the way, Friend Lu, with so many Golden Core Real People and even Primordial Infant True Monarchs entering the Thunder Jetty Cave Secret Realm, there are bound to be many treasures emerging. As a Commerce Association Guest Elder of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, you might want to pay attention to their upcoming auctions. You might just be lucky enough to get one or two.”

Hermit Yu Lin kindly reminded him.

Lu Xuan nodded thoughtfully.

The two stayed in the cave abode for a short while longer before saying their goodbyes and leaving together.

“Golden Core Real People say no and it’s no, after all, it’s still a lack of strength.”

Lu Xuan felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Even though he was already at the mid-stage of Golden Core cultivation and had many rare treasures, he still didn’t count for much in front of a Primordial Infant True Monarch.

“I need to enhance my strength… no, I need to focus on farming properly.”

He lamented, then went to the Spirit Field and took out the Divine Wood Green Gourd from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

His Spiritual Sense entered it, and inside the verdant small pot flowed liquefied plant and wood Spiritual Energy, extremely pure and concentrated, with a single drop worth dozens of strands of Qingmu Origin Energy.

“Little Green Bottle, let’s see your limit!”

Lu Xuan arrived at the Spirit Field Area where the Fourth Grade Black Metal Wood was planted.

The amount of Qingmu Origin Energy accumulated in the Divine Wood Green Gourd was not substantial, less than a year’s worth. It was the perfect opportunity to experiment with this Black Metal Wood that had entered its growth stage.

Under the control of Spiritual Sense, the grass and wood Spiritual Energy, in its purest form, turned into a wisp of green mist and seeped into the dark-branched Spirit Plant in front of him.

His mind focused on the Black Metal Wood, and Lu Xuan immediately noticed the surge of life force within the plant, the branches growing slowly, and a semi-transparent progress bar filling up visibly with speed.

An hour later, the Black Metal Wood reached full maturity!

“This Divine Wood Green Gourd is truly miraculous!”

Lu Xuan’s face lit up with joy.

In his opinion, this damaged Seventh Grade Divine Wood Green Gourd was far more important than the Glazed Red Phoenix Bone of the same rank.

From now on, he wouldn’t have to worry about the lengthy maturity times possibly spanning hundreds of years required for high-grade Spirit Plants.

He estimated the amount of Qingmu Origin Energy he initially infused into the Divine Wood Green Gourd and briefly compared it to the Nascent Soul Grass Orb.

“At least ten times more than the Nascent Soul Grass Orb.”

“If the time for purification and conversion were a bit longer, I estimate the effect would be even stronger.”

“What a treasure!”

Lu Xuan admired the verdant small pot more and more.

After continuing to inject a steady stream of Qingmu Origin Energy, he put the Divine Wood Green Gourd back into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

He then carefully dug out the Black Metal Wood from the Spirit Soil.

The Spirit Wood was incredibly hard, entirely composed of black branches that were sleek and shone with a metallic luster.

“Fourth Grade Spirit Wood, possessing both hardness and flexibility, and with strong Spiritual Power conductivity, it’s superior material for Refining Instruments. The question is whether it can yield treasure related to instrument refining.”

Lu Xuan speculated.

He wasn’t particularly interested in this Fourth Grade Black Metal Wood. The main reason he planted it was to possibly harvest treasures related to instrument refining.
