I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

“Friend Lu, you…”

“There are truly too many treasures.”

Xuan Ji Tree Mother glanced at the numerous top-tier magic treasures swirling around Lu Xuan, and couldn’t help but sigh.

“The elder praises me too much; it’s just that I received the favor of the Divinity Transformation Ancestor and Sword Master in the Sword Sect. Upon learning that Lu Mou was traveling afar, they gifted a few treasures for protection.”

Lu Xuan casually fabricated a story.

“Good, I’ll leave everything to you then, Friend Lu.”

After Xuan Ji Tree Mother spoke, countless drooping vines silently dissipated, turning into green light points that merged into the boundless giant trees.

In less than a quarter-hour, the entire Sky Wave Tree Realm stirred layer after layer of pale green ripples. The ripples swelled gradually like tides, growing stronger and eventually resembling massive waves, with spiritual energy becoming violently terrifying.

Lu Xuan stood still, letting his divine sense cover almost the entire Tree Realm.

He continuously consumed Seventh Grade Core Pills, Glazed God Nourishing Pills, and treated Divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea Leaves as snacks; in addition, treasures like the Stealing God Jade were constantly nourishing him. So, although he had just broken through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, his divine sense was quite formidable.

The deep green spiritual tide in the Tree Realm grew increasingly turbulent, and beams of emerald light shot skyward, especially dazzling, detectable from miles away.

“I didn’t expect such a commotion; next, I fear it’s time to stretch my muscles.”

Mana circulated faster within Lu Xuan’s body as he continuously observed his surroundings with divine sense.

A hundred miles southeast of the Tree Realm, two rays of tunneling light sped forth.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, we’ve reached the edge of the Tree Realm; we must be careful going forward.”

A white-haired old lady, with Mid-term of Nascent Soul stage cultivation, paused and gazed at the rushing spiritual tide before her, speaking cautiously.

“Fellow Jiang is right; it’s rumored the Tree Realm conceals many heavenly treasures, but ordinary cultivators struggle to venture in.”

“The massive commotion this time likely indicates astonishing upheaval within the Tree Realm. Judging by those beams of light, it’s highly probable a strange treasure is emerging.”

The other person, a thin, grim middle-aged man, also with Mid-term of Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

The two, known to each other for years, happened upon this rare scene while seeking a high-grade spirit grass near the Tree Realm.

Thinking of the colossal opportunity possibly within, a trace of fervor appeared in both their eyes.

“The Tree Realm’s natural prohibitions and restrictions seem greatly affected, no longer impenetrable as before. We should sneak in before others arrive and seize the initiative.”

“Indeed, even if a Primordial Infant True Monarch shows up, with an edge, we might still claim a share.”

The white-haired old lady resolutely said.

Both simultaneously controlled their flying treasures, shooting like flowing lights deeper into the Tree Realm.

“Greetings to you two young friends.”

At this moment, a gentle voice rang in their ears. Then, two sharp sword qi, wrapped in thunderous sound, instantly arrived, splitting into hundreds of sword qi, blocking their path.

“Sword Qi Thunder Sound! Sword Light Split!”

The two felt the sword intent almost pierce their skin, and their hearts trembled.

Before they reacted, an elegant young man appeared above them out of nowhere, smiling and composed.

It was Lu Xuan, who arrived directly with the Xiao Space-Shift Technique.

“Greetings to the senior.”

Their spiritual senses swept and immediately detected unfathomable cultivation in the other, quickly cupping their hands in greeting.

“Are you two intending to explore the Tree Realm?”

Lu Xuan asked warmly.

“To be frank, senior, that is indeed our intention. Might you have any connection to the events occurring inside?”

The thin middle-aged man said respectfully, even slightly sycophantically.

It was clear that this youth before them was a Primordial Infant True Monarch, with cultivation level differences as vast as heaven and earth, who could easily extinguish them like two ants.

“There is some connection.”

“There is a friend inside, intending to leave the Tree Realm and has entrusted me to protect him. The commotion stirred is somewhat large, understandably drawing you two over to investigate.”

“I kindly advise you two that the waters within the Tree Realm are too deep, beyond your control, better to leave soon.”

“Otherwise, don’t blame me for being overly protective of my friend, sparking a killing intent, and accidentally causing the two of you to lose your lives.”

Their expressions dramatically changed upon hearing this.

Surprise, shock, hesitation, unwillingness, regret…

Ultimately, the persistent sharp sword intent around them brought them back to calmness.

Glancing at each other, the white-haired old lady spoke first:

“So, it seems. We apologize for disturbing you, senior, and we will leave now.”

No matter the reluctance within, faced with a solid gap in cultivation, they could only silently accept this.

“Good, I’ll kindly advise you two once more, the commotion inside the Tree Realm will certainly attract several Primordial Infant True Monarchs, not to mention Jindan cultivators. Remaining here might only invite peril upon you.”

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, smiling as he spoke.

“Thank you, senior, for the advice; we understand.”

They bowed in gratitude, controlled their flying treasures, and retraced their path.

“They stopped fifty miles away; it seems they haven’t given up their last bit of hope.”

Lu Xuan sensed their distance with his divine sense and shook his head.

However, he understood that ordinary Jindan cultivators, especially loose cultivators, must overcome numerous obstacles to obtain a desired treasure, risking life and death at every turn.

Unlike him, who only needed to gather various spirit plants and light clusters to obtain an endless amount of rare treasures.

Thus, even after being driven away by Lu Xuan, they still held onto a glimmer of hope, unwilling to easily give up.

“Anyway, I’ve said what needed to be said. If they insist on courting death, they can’t blame Lu Mou for his ruthlessness.”
