I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Primordial Infant True Monarchs are entities that common cultivators can only dream of reaching. Even for Jindan cultivators, they are merely slightly larger ants in comparison. When have they ever seen a Primordial Infant True Monarch being so courteous to a Jindan cultivator?

“Indeed, it is a Primordial Infant True Monarch.”

Wen Qian smiled.

“In the future, you mustn’t take it lightly. Many Primordial Infant True Monarchs will step into the shop, and if you continue like this, it might reflect poorly on Senior Lu.”

“As for your attitude, just maintain a balance between humility and confidence. With Senior Lu as our support, no Primordial Infant True Monarch will trouble us.”

“Indeed, thank you for the reminder, Brother Wen.”

Hong Qinghai cupped his hand in thanks.

He gained a clearer understanding of Lu Xuan’s status.

Although he joined the Sword Sect, he initially thought Lu Xuan was just a renowned Spirit Plant Master within the sect, only to find out there was much more to him.

“What kind of status and achievements must one have for a Primordial Infant True Monarch to voluntarily befriend Jindan or even Foundation Establishment cultivators?”

His mind was filled with countless thoughts.

“Qinghai, remember, whether it’s a Primordial Infant True Monarch or a Jindan cultivator treating us with courtesy, it’s not because of how remarkable we are, but because of the value they see in Senior Lu backing us.”

“If you were truly an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, that Primordial Infant True Monarch wouldn’t spare you a glance, let alone willingly offer you treasures.”

“If you fail to hold onto your true self and become lost in this, Senior Lu might choose to discard you.”

Wen Qian adjusted his expression and warned Hong Qinghai.

“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Wen.”

Upon hearing Wen Qian’s words, Hong Qinghai’s slightly elated mindset quickly steadied, and he took a deep breath, cupping his hands as he spoke.

…

Dongxuan Sword Sect.

Lu Xuan arrived at the entrance of the cave abode, seeing the White Ape coming out from a distance to greet him.

“Master, you’re back! I’ve missed you dearly!”

The White Ape, with a fawning expression, led him into the cave abode.

“Has anything happened at the cave abode during this time?”

Returning to the familiar and secure environment, Lu Xuan felt relieved and casually asked.

“Nothing major, just a few fellow Nascent Soul disciples came to visit. I turned them away using the excuse of your seclusion.”

The White Ape informed Lu Xuan in detail about the visits from fellow disciples.

“Good, thank you for your hard work during this time.”

Lu Xuan nodded, then entered his room and set down restrictions.

He then took out a Spirit Flower and flew into it.

Arriving at the dwelling place of the Xuan Ji Tree Mother and countless plant spirits, he noticeably sensed the changes over this period.

In just over a month, a forest had sprung up over the vast territory, with the plant spirit aura spreading, giving the entire area a sense of nature.

“With the Tree Mother Senior and those plant spirits, creating an environment more suitable for high-rank spirit plant growth is just around the corner.”

Lu Xuan was extremely pleased, avoiding disturbing the Xuan Ji Tree Mother, he roamed his personal spatial space, cultivating high-rank spirit plants.

“Another E-Mu Green Thunder Fruit has been borne!”

In the Thunder Pond, two vines of the E-Mu Green Thunder stretched up to the clouds, enveloped in dense thunder spirit breath, with glimpses of azure strange thunder leaping among the branches and leaves.

Atop one of the vines, bore a spirit fruit formed of a silvery white, as if condensed from boundless thunderlight.

It was the Seventh Grade E-Mu Green Thunder Fruit, which, when consumed, can greatly enhance a cultivator’s spiritual constitution, granting them exceptional talent in the Thunder Method. After many years, another fruit has finally been borne.

Lu Xuan’s hand turned a pale golden hue as he picked the silvery white spirit fruit.

Afterwards, he gently touched the white light cluster that appeared subsequently.

A thought flashed through his sea of consciousness.

[Harvested a Seventh Grade E-Mu Green Thunder Fruit and obtained the completed fourth level of the “Divine Cloud True Law” (supplemented).]

As the thought vanished, a golden thunderbolt fell with a resounding crash in his sea of consciousness, settling deep within, surrounded by a slender strand of pale golden lightning.

[“Divine Cloud True Law”, the fundamental cultivation method of the Divine Xiao Sect, with the fourth level enabling cultivation to the Divine Transformation Realm.]

“The latter part of the fourth level of the “Divine Cloud True Law” has finally completed the cultivation technique for the Divine Transformation stage.”

Lu Xuan mused to himself.

Previously, he had picked two E-Mu Green Thunder Fruits, which yielded a fragmented version of the fourth level of the “Divine Cloud True Law”, but this time it has finally been completed.

“The Shenxiao Heavenly Thunder within the sea of consciousness has also strengthened, its power now probably equivalent to an Eighth Grade Treasure.”

He carefully sensed the changes in that pale golden divine thunder.

“Right, this E-Mu Green Thunder Fruit must be set aside for Senior Instrument Spirit.”

He had promised the Pagoda Instrument Spirit to gift him a Seventh Grade E-Mu Green Thunder Fruit.

Of the two previously harvested, he consumed one himself, while the other was offered to the mysterious Thunder Giant in the Thunder Ox Clan Secret Land, from whom he obtained the Ninth Grade Yin Yang Thunder Extreme Wood in return.

The one in hand now is for fulfilling the promise made to the Pagoda Instrument Spirit.

Having harvested an E-Mu Green Thunder Vine, he moved to the Eighth Grade Red Dragon Fruit.

“The Red Dragon Fruit must be planted in an area rich with dragon qi and nurtured with high-grade dragon blood. Once matured, it dramatically enhances dragon clan bloodlines, and when consumed by cultivators, it fortifies the flesh, equating its strength to that of a middle rank magical treasure.”

“Having cultivated it for so many years, it’s still only in the sprouting phase.”

He contemplated ripening this Eighth Grade Red Dragon Fruit.

“Getting the Xuan Ji Tree Mother back this time unexpectedly acquired nine strands of mysterious natural secret qi, plus the previous ones, tallying to ten strands, enough to ripen an Eighth Grade spirit plant with some to spare.”

With this thought, at his mind’s command, a strand of emerald green aura full of natural intent swiftly surged, piercing into the Red Dragon Fruit spirit plant.

Layers of spirit aura ripples emerged on the pale red leaves, revitalizing the plant with strong vitality and vigor.

Lu Xuan then took out a bottle of Water Dragon Essence Blood, dripping it onto the leaves and branches of the Red Dragon Fruit.

Following that, he focused his mind on the plant, watching as the semi-transparent progress bar slowly filled.

An hour later, the Red Dragon Fruit, having absorbed a strand of mysterious natural secret qi, showed significant changes, with faint dragon qi surrounding it, and on the crimson spirit flower that emerged, dragon-shaped patterns appeared indistinctly.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan was pleased, integrating the second strand of mysterious natural secret qi into the Red Dragon Fruit.

The spirit flower gradually blossomed, and the patterns on the petals became more distinct and vivid as if at any moment a red dragon might emerge.

Then, from the center of the spirit flower, a fingertip-sized crimson spirit fruit formed.

As nearly two hours passed, the third strand of mysterious natural secret qi unhesitatingly merged into the Red Dragon Fruit.

The spirit fruit grew larger, its surface uneven, resembling a coiled red flood dragon, with faint dragon roars echoing from within the fruit.

Below, the progress bar rapidly filled, visible to the naked eye.

“Finally matured, it took three strands of mysterious natural secret qi.”

“Judging by this performance, though both are Eighth Grade, the effect of a strand of mysterious natural secret qi is far better than a drop of Creation Spirit Dew.”

Lu Xuan compared silently, then picked the Red Dragon Fruit, not bothering to examine it closely, focused entirely on the white light cluster that appeared subsequently.

The slightly shimmering light cluster held great allure for him.

He reached out to gently touch the light cluster’s surface, and in an instant, it silently shattered, scattering countless specks of light skyward, swiftly condensing into a slender river of light that surged into Lu Xuan’s body.

Simultaneously, a thought flitted across his sea of consciousness.

[Harvested one Eighth Grade Spirit Plant Red Dragon Fruit, acquiring the Ninth Grade Body Refining Technique, “Ancient True Dragon Technique.”]

As the thought dissipated, a dragon’s roar, resounding through heaven and earth, echoed in his sea of consciousness. In its wake, a deluge of information poured in, settling into an ancient tome surrounded by dragon shadows within his sea of consciousness.

Lu Xuan focused his mind on it, immediately discerning detailed information about the ancient tome.

[“Ancient True Dragon Technique,” a Ninth Grade Body Refining Technique, was derived through the observation of a True Dragon for hundreds of years by an ancient great power. It’s a top-tier body refining technique, and once mastered, embodies a body of utmost ferocity and power, capable of crushing mountains and tearing through the void. It approaches high-rank magical treasure in defensive strength, and its movements radiate a formidable dragon might, deterring all beasts.

In the course of cultivation, one gradually gains insight into the divine skills of the True Dragon Clan, exhibiting an extraordinary affinity with demon beasts of the dragon species.]
