I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 437: Chapter 435: Green Lotus Sword Grass_1

“It’s rare to encounter a younger brother with such a profound understanding as you, Lu.”

A sense of profound admiration for Lu Xuan shone in Shen Ye’s eyes.

Such a devoted and loyal sect disciple is indeed a rarity.

“It’s my duty.”

“Reviving the honor of the Sword Hall is an obligation that we cannot shirk!”

Lu Xuan spoke earnestly.

“Junior Brother Lu, your immense contribution to the method of condensing third-grade sword grass is undeniable. If more spirit seeds are condensed in the future, you will be the first to be qualified for cultivation.”

“You can apply for personal use of the sword grass cultivated for the Sword Hall, or you could hand it over to the Sword Hall. Based on the rank and number of the sword grass, the hall will give you substantial rewards.”

“However, the condensation of fourth-grade sword grass spirit seeds is extremely challenging, and they rarely appear in large numbers. Once successfully condensed, they would inevitably trigger the Sword Hall disciples’ scramble.”

“But rest assured, Junior Brother Lu, as soon as a fourth-grade sword grass spirit seed appears, I will contact you immediately and let you decide whether to cultivate it.”

“Regarding the fifth grade, it falls within the Jindan Category, only occasionally appearing in the Sword Pool and other special places in the Sword Hall. There may not be an occurrence for decades with bad luck, but I will keep an eye out for you.”

“Thank you, Brother Shen!”

Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude earnestly with a bow.

The verification of the method of condensing wind and thunder sword grass seeds will take some time, so Lu Xuan bid farewell to Shen Ye and returned to his dwelling.

Unconcerned by the storm his thin piece of paper had stirred up in the Sword Hall, Lu Xuan devoted himself solely to quietly cultivating spirit seeds and raising spirit beasts in his Spirit Field.

The seventy Water Glow Grass had successfully condensed, resulting in more than three hundred slender, bright blue spirit seeds.

As per his habit, Lu Xuan took two hundred of them and scattered them across the well-prepared Spirit Field.

Faint traces of Spirit Rain fell, seeping into the Spirit Soil and nourishing the slender spirit seeds.

He planned to use the remaining hundred spirit seeds to induce mutations, hoping to get third-grade mutated spirit seeds, so that when his cultivation level breaks through in the future, the rewards from the Light Cluster would not be paltry again.

He took out several blocks of Hundred-Year Ice Spirit and placed the hundred spirit seeds in the middle, nourishing them with the extreme chilled air emanating from the ice spirit.

As the Water Glow Grass leans towards the water element in the five elemental attributes, it is more suitable to use the Ice Spirit to stimulate improvements.

Using the Pure Yang True Fire to stimulate spirit seeds might possibly lead to waste seeds.

“Next time when I go to the incomplete Secret Realm, I can put it into that spring eye and use the spirit rain of the secluded spring to stimulate the improvement of the spirit seeds.”

Lu Xuan pondered in his heart.

After meticulous care of all the spiritual plants in the Spirit Fields around the mountain, he returned to his house.

In the high skies of the mountain, an eye of ash-white color quietly emerged from the void, secretly appearing and disappearing, with its trace mysteriously concealed.

Seeing that there were no abnormalities around, Lu Xuan made a thought, and a golden jade book appeared in his hand.

As he gently opened the jade book, a majestic neighing sound rang in his ears, and a barefoot golden crow appeared before his eyes.

The golden crow was all over ignited with a flame of platinum color, with the fire dancing in a state that could apparently incinerate all things in the world.

Lu Xuan stared fixedly at the lifelike barefoot golden crow depicted in the jade book.

In a trance, a giant fireball that overshadowed the sky appeared in his mind, with a golden crow joyfully soaring within it. As it fluttered its wings, pure white flames would fall continuously.

He extended his palm, and a strand of pure white flame appeared at his fingertips, quietly burning, brewing a terrifying power in tranquility.

“I’ve contemplated the ‘Pure Yang True Fire Talisman’ for several years now, the Pure Yang True Fire I grasped should be around fourth-grade level. It can be considered a powerful asset.”

“Only I’m not sure when I would gain complete mastery and comprehend this fifth rank divine skill.”

Such thoughts lingered in Lu Xuan’s mind.

After meditating with the golden jade book for some time, he took out an aged, withered tree branch from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

There were more than thirty Evil Eye Pupils on the branch, some tightly shut, and some scanning their surroundings. Sensing Lu Xuan’s gaze, they all moved around with abundant spirit nature.

A misty spiritual light emerged on Lu Xuan, and he plucked one Evil Eye Pupil derived from the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.

At the back of the eyeball, numerous tiny semi-transparent tendrils squirmed wildly.

Lu Xuan promptly inserted the eyeball into his forehead. Instantly, both of his eyes bulged out as if something crawled within them. His conscious sea was plunged into chaos.

He was striving to keep his consciousness clear, operating the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, endeavoring to absorb the power of the Evil Eye Pupil.

After a moment, his eyes regained their normal state. A subtle flow of spiritual power surged into his eyes, the world appeared dramatically different, the flow of spiritual power within the mountains was clearly visible to him. His visual power was significantly increased.

“Since I plucked the Hundred’s Pupils Bizarre Tree, I have been refining an Evil Eye Pupil every once in a while to enhance my own pupil skill. Occasionally, I even feed one to the Cloud Leopard. Nearly half of the pupils on the tree trunk have been used so far.”

Lu Xuan put away the ancient and skin-like tree trunk and sighed.

For the next while, he persisted with this simple, tedious yet fulfilling and peaceful routine.

Most of his time was dedicated to cultivating spiritual plants, feeding and playing with spirit beasts. The remaining time was divided between alchemy and cultivation.

The alchemic materials include spiritual plants he cultivated himself and some that were purchased from the Dan Palace at a low price. The elixirs he produced were kept safe for the moment.

As his proficiency in refining Yuan Cultivating Pill and Spirit Gathering Pill had reached the Grandmaster Realm, he was close to one hundred percent successful, hence it didn’t waste much of Lu Xuan’s time.

As for cultivation, he mainly contemplated the ‘Pure Yang True Fire Talisman’, practiced the pupil skill, and the level five “Divine Proliferation Sutra” that can strengthen his spiritual sense. Occasionally he would take a Jiaolong Blood Bath to enhance his physical body.

The remaining ten units of second-grade Yellow Cloud Plant matured successively during this period and they were all of normal quality.

Inside the ten white light clusters that matured, six rank two Spirit Beast Pills, three Spirit Beast Pill Formula experience packages, and two Chenxiang Pills were produced.

After absorbing the three experience packages, Lu Xuan’s understanding of refining spirit beast pills improved significantly. He had reached the proficient level and there was about a thirty percent chance of success when refining them.

On that day, a small sword charm swiftly flew over, halting outside the Flowing Light Formation, and emitted sharp hissing sounds.

Lu Xuan activated the formation, drawing the charm closer, and stimulating spiritual power.

A familiar voice of Shen Ye came through, there was an apparent tone of joy in his voice.

“Junior Brother Lu, a Golden Pellet Elder Uncle has recently condensed five fourth-grade sword grass spirit seeds.”

“The variety is Green Lotus Sword Grass. If you are interested, you can come to the Sword Hall to take a look. I can only reserve one spirit seed for half a month at most.”

“If you do not come to pick up the spirit seeds within half a month, then I can only give them to the other Sword Hall fellows.”

“The fourth-grade Green Lotus Sword Grass?”

Lu Xuan’s voice was filled with joy.

How could he pass up the opportunity to obtain fourth-grade sword grass spirit seeds?

“Let alone half a month, I can’t even wait half an hour.”

With a thought, Lu Xuan summoned the Fat Bird, which was meant to be used to meet Little Fresh Sparrowhawk, and in a blink of an eye, he was on its broad back.

“Let’s head to the Sword Hall as fast as we can!”
