I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

[Taishi Dao Yi Sword Grass, Ninth Grade Spirit Plant, needs to be planted in a Cave Heaven with pure Sword Intent, nurtured with Supreme Sword Qi and treasures related to high-grade swords. The matured sword contained within holds a trace of the Power of Laws, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.]

“Ninth Grade Sword Grass! Contains the Power of Laws!”

Lu Xuan marveled inwardly.

“The difficulty in cultivating it is also much higher than Seventh and Eighth Grade Sword Grass; a Cave Heaven with pure Sword Intent…”

“In the Personal Spatial space, the Infinite Sword Prison has been placed for a long time, barely forming a Sword Qi Spiritual Land, so the early growth of the Taishi Dao Yi Sword Grass shouldn’t be a concern.”

“However, a Supreme Sword Scripture and corresponding high-grade Sword Attribute Treasures are still needed.”

He thought about this, took out the Transparent Small Sword Spirit Seed, and immediately entered the Personal Spatial to replant it.

The next day, before he could cultivate all the Spirit Plants in the Cave Abode, the familiar voice of Jian Huanzhen rang from outside, full of heartfelt joy.

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu! For becoming the second True Sword Disciple of Huanzhen Sword Peak!”

Jian Huanzhen laughed as he entered the Cave Abode.

Among the nine great Sword Summits, Huanzhen Sword Peak has long been in decline, always at the bottom. But since Lu Xuan joined the Sword Peak, its ranking in the great competition has risen several times, and now he has become the second True Sword Disciple after Mo Yuanfeng.

The two True Sword Disciples have further elevated the status of Huanzhen Sword Peak within the Sword Sect, ensuring that the Sword Sect’s legacy will not dissipate outside.

“Junior Brother Lu, congratulations, congratulations!”

“From now on, I won’t be fighting alone.”

Mo Yuanfeng followed immediately.

Lu Xuan’s becoming the second True Sword Disciple of Huanzhen Sword Peak stirred no jealousy in his heart. There is no competition between them; rather, they can join forces to strengthen Huanzhen Sword Peak.

Moreover, with Lu Xuan’s single-minded focus on Spirit Plants and no desire for the position of Sword Master, having such a divine assistant is more than welcome, making jealousy impossible.

“Junior Brother Lu, quickly take out your Green Lotus Wine! We won’t return until we’re drunk this time.”

Sword Palace Elder Li Xuanchen, long a drinking buddy of Lu Xuan, naturally would not miss this great opportunity to drink the Spirit Brew.

“Junior Brother Lu, the gap between us grows ever larger; I need to muster the courage to even call you Junior Brother now.”

Ge Pu left Zhuo Yue from the same Sword Peak to specifically congratulate Lu Xuan.

“Brother Ge, there’s no need for such formality between us.”

“Brother will always be my brother.”

Lu Xuan smiled as he spoke to this former fellow sect member of Sky Sword Sect.

Afterwards, Huanzhen Sword Peak’s Yuan Rong and Primordial Moon sisters, Dan Palace’s Huang Jinhu, Hundred Artisans Sword Peak’s Chen Bingxue, Sword Palace’s Ye Lingkong, and several of Lu Xuan’s apprentices came to congratulate him in succession.

The White Ape scurried among the crowd with Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew.

Having only been an ordinary Guardian Beast of the Sect, it had never seen such a grand occasion, dazzled by one Primordial Infant Cultivator after another.

Moreover, each Primordial Infant Cultivator treated it with great respect, which made it further understand the formidable aspects of its owner.

“Ling Xiaozi of Chongxu Sword Peak comes to visit, congratulations Junior Brother Lu on your promotion to True Sword Disciple!”

“Fu Long of Heavenly Talisman Sword Peak comes to visit, congratulations Junior Brother on your promotion to True Sword Disciple!”

…

The crowd present rose in unison, showing expressions of surprise.

Ling Xiaozi, Fu Long, and others are veteran Nascent Souls of the Sword Sect, with the former even being just a step away from Divinity Transformation, holding an extremely esteemed status within the sect.

These figures rarely appear before everyone, and it was unexpected that they would all come to congratulate Lu Xuan today.

“Brother Ling Xiaozi, Brother Fu, it’s been a while.”

These people were brought together by the Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill, with Lu Xuan even trading for the incredibly precious Nine-Orifice Ginseng Fruit from Ling Xiaozi.

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu!”

“After becoming a True Sword Disciple, collecting various heavenly materials and earthly treasures becomes much easier, Junior Brother should pay more attention to refining a few furnaces of Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills as soon as possible.”

Ling Xiaozi spoke straightforwardly.

“No problem, Brother. I will do my utmost.”

Lu Xuan hadn’t expected these fellow sect members to urge refining the pills at his Cave Abode and agreed in a hurry.

With so many friends gathered, Lu Xuan took out the Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew he had collected over time.

Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds, Red Flaming Pear, Green Lotus Wine, True Sword Liquid…

For a moment, everyone felt at home and satisfied.

After everyone had left, the White Ape finally came out to clean up the aftermath.

Lu Xuan entered his room, circulated his mana, and the drunkenness faded from his face.

“While the greatest benefit of becoming a True Sword Disciple is still present, let’s see if I can obtain a Ninth Grade Accelerated Spiritual Object from the sect.”

“Otherwise, who knows when the next opportunity like this will come.”

He had previously learned from Elder Tianhai that newly selected True Sword Disciples are eligible to obtain Ninth Grade treasures from the Sword Sect.

Even though cultivation techniques and magic treasures at the Ninth Grade hold much higher value than Spiritual Seeds and treasure items, making them much harder to acquire, Lu Xuan still wanted to try to see if he could get another critical Ninth Grade Accelerated Spiritual Object, even though he already possessed the Taishi Dao Yi Sword Grass Spirit Seed.

“To be honest, there are too many Seventh and Eighth Grade Spirit Plants in my possession, and even Innate Spirit Roots and Path Fruits, the primary accelerant being the Divine Wood Green Pot, Tree Mother’s Wood Elf Juice, along with the Creation Spirit Dew obtained not long ago, which is barely a drop in the bucket for numerous high-rank Spirit Plants.”

“Fortune favors the bold.”

“I must make good use of the new benefits of being a Sword Disciple and try to glean some advantages.”

With this in mind, Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate any longer and went to the Sword Palace. With a thought, a serious-faced young child with a small sword bun appeared before him.

“Junior Brother Lu, what important matter do you have to call for me?”

The sword attendant’s serious demeanor contrasted sharply with his delicate face.

“Brother Sword Attendant, I come to see you with a request.”

“Please, speak, Junior Brother Lu.”

“I dare to ask Brother if there is a Ninth Grade Accelerated Spiritual Object in the Sect Treasure Vault?”

“If there is, does Junior Brother still have the qualification to obtain one?”

Lu Xuan inquired earnestly.

“Junior Brother’s case is somewhat special, so you barely have enough qualification to get one Ninth Grade Treasure Item, but a Ninth Grade Accelerated Spiritual Object… is indeed too rare.”

The sword attendant was about to refuse outright, but seeing the disappointment in Lu Xuan’s eyes and recalling his contributions to the Sword Sect, he changed his tune.

“I’ll ask a few Divinity Transformation Ancestors; please wait for a moment, Junior Brother.”

Though the sword attendant’s appearance was tender, he acted with decisiveness and hadn’t waited for Lu Xuan’s reply before his eyes became unfocused, as if his spirit had wandered away.

“Success without disgrace.”

In Lu Xuan’s anxious wait, the sword attendant returned with news that made him overjoyed.

Subsequently, a jellyfish-like spiritual object appeared in the sword attendant’s hand, solid and unscattered, containing pure Spiritual Energy, as if capable of encompassing all things in the world.

“This is called the All Things Ultimate Mother Spirit Essence, Ninth Grade Spiritual Object, capable of nourishing all things, including Spirit Plants.”

“After consulting a few Divinity Transformation Ancestors, Ancestor Xuan Yang, upon hearing that Junior Brother needed such a spiritual object, has taken out this treasured All Things Ultimate Mother Spirit Essence to give to you.”

“Treasure from Ancestor Xuan Yang’s hands?”

Lu Xuan was flattered.

“Don’t worry, Junior Brother, such a precious spiritual object will not be given by the ancestor for nothing; the sect will compensate the ancestor with equivalent treasures.”

The sword attendant said expressionlessly.

“Thank you, Brother Sword Attendant, and thank you, Ancestor Xuan Yang.”

Lu Xuan knew full well that things weren’t as simple as the sword attendant described.

Whether it was the sword attendant’s willingness to help inquire or Ancestor Xuan Yang’s willingness to take out his treasured object, as well as the sect’s final compensation, it was all due to his contributions to the Sword Sect and his status as a True Sword Disciple.

Thinking this, he felt deep gratitude toward the sword attendant and Ancestor Xuan Yang.

“The gratitude of today, Brother, I will remember, and I will surely repay it in the future,”

He solemnly promised the sword attendant.

The sword attendant’s mouth slightly angled upwards.

“Junior Brother need not worry; cultivating Sword Grass well and developing new varieties is the best return to me.”

As the Sword Spirit born from the Acquired Spirit Treasure of the Sword Sect, his sense of belonging to the Sword Sect surpassed all Sword Sect Cultivators, with all his actions aimed at bettering the Sword Sect.

“Very well, I will not let Brother’s trust go unfulfilled!”

Lu Xuan nodded firmly.
