I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

The old man nodded silently and with a wave of one hand, in an instant, a small tree as green and jade-like as emerald appeared in front of everyone.

“Junior Brother Lu, this is an eighth grade spiritual object that I acquired by chance, and it can mature a sixth grade Sword Grass in a short time,”

he said, infusing pure mana into the small green tree. The tree immediately gleamed with green light, exuding an extremely rich vitality, which covered the Spirit Soil and nourished the Silver White Spirit Seed within.

Beside him, Gu Yun occasionally infused minute Thunder Attribute Sword Qi.

Lu Xuan couldn’t afford to marvel at the mystique of the green tree, as he watched countless sword lights flickering on the surface of the Silver White Spirit Seed, with its inner vitality growing stronger, gradually sprouting roots.

As the old man continued to provide mana, the range covered by the green light of the small tree expanded, and the light grew brighter, with the vitality poured down becoming increasingly powerful.

“What a treasure!”

Lu Xuan’s eyes were fixed.

“Junior Brother Lu, doesn’t this treasure of mine impress you? It can swiftly mature Spirit Plants, though it consumes quite a lot of mana and can only be used after intervals, yet its value is immense for a Spirit Plant Master.”

Suddenly, a hoarse old voice echoed into Lu Xuan’s ear.

“Brother Zhou, this is indeed a high-grade treasure,”

Lu Xuan replied in a normal tone via voice transmission.

“Junior Brother Lu, you likely have guessed my purpose by now.”

“Though I’ve reached the late Nascent Soul stage, my lifespan is dwindling, and I’m not prepared to make a desperate attempt to achieve Divinity Transformation; I just want to prolong my life by a hundred years or so.”

“Last time, I missed the spiritual pill exchange you hosted due to unforeseen reasons; this time, I plan to trade this treasure with you for a Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill. What do you think, Junior Brother?”

The old man said frankly.

“No problem! I will certainly reserve a Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill for you, Brother!”

Lu Xuan promised quickly.

At any rate, since the small green tree was already in his possession, he wasn’t in a hurry to trade with the old man in front of him, lest the news spread and he would be hard-pressed to explain to his fellow disciples.

“Good, it’s settled,”

the old man, fearing Lu Xuan might regret, beamed with joy on his face.

For him, as important as the treasure was, it needed sufficient lifespan to use; being able to trade it for over a hundred years of life was far from disgracing this rare treasure.

In Gu Yun’s view, the old man seemed genuinely pleased by the Sword Grass’s robust growth.

Under the full-scale maturing process, in less than an hour, the sixth grade Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Sword Grass completely matured.

Gu Yun carefully harvested it, and with a wave of his hand, accompanied by a thunderous sound, a silver-white sword light flashed by, piercing into the Sword Qi cloud sea.

“Among treasures of the same rank, the Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Sword Grass holds a leading power,”

he remarked with an expression full of commendation.

“Two senior brothers, here are two more Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, to be handed over to the Sword Palace for cultivation,”

Lu Xuan took out two more Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.

Having already reached the late Nascent Soul Cultivation Level, continuing to plant sixth grade Sword Grass wouldn’t yield him any significant returns, so he decided to hand them all over to the Sword Palace.

“Alright, Junior Brother Lu, the sect’s rewards to you will be plentiful,”

Gu Yun nodded and smiled.

“This is what Junior Brother should do by duty,”

Lu Xuan watched the three leave and returned to his cave abode.

“So far, several kinds of sixth-grade Spirit Plants have been developed, among which there are two types of Sword Grass.”

“However, the improvement of the Origin Spirit Ginseng isn’t progressing well. If I keep cultivating the fifth-grade Origin Spirit Ginseng, the cultivation rewards obtained from the Light Clusters will be greatly reduced, given my current realm,”

“Yet to advance to Divinity Transformation, the amount of Spiritual Energy required is immense.”

“Currently, over a hundred Origin Spirit Ginsengs are being cultivated; the quantity is not an issue, so I can only focus on quality.”

“There are only two possibilities: either develop a sixth-grade Origin Spirit Ginseng or find a better substitute.”

Lu Xuan pondered silently.

Soon, a youthful voice came from outside the cave abode.

“Junior Brother Lu, are you in the cave?”

Lu Xuan scanned with his Divine Sense and immediately discovered a three-foot-tall child with a small sword bun hairstyle standing at the door.

“So it’s Brother Sword Attendant, a rare guest indeed, pardon my failure to greet you from afar,”

he hurried out to greet him.

“No problem, I came because of the Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Sword Grass,”

Sword Attendant’s demeanor was much gentler than usual.

“Has Brother already confirmed it?”

“Yes, not only that, but several Divinity Transformation Ancestors within the sect have already been informed,”

Sword Attendant nodded with a deep expression.

The emergence of a new sixth-grade Sword Grass is a major event for the Dongxuan Sword Sect, which will surely be reported to the sect’s Great Deity of Spirit Transformation at the first instance.

“This time I came to understand what kind of reward Junior Brother needs,”

he continued to ask Lu Xuan.

“You know me, Brother. What I seek is nothing but those few things, high-grade Spiritual Seeds, accelerated spiritual objects, and other special treasures,”

“I’ve heard that Junior Brother was previously searching for True Spirit Essence Blood and has certain requirements regarding it?”

Normally taciturn, Sword Attendant was particularly talkative today.

“Yes, Junior Brother is cultivating an extremely rare high-grade Spirit Plant that requires nourishment from various True Spirit Essence Bloods, and it’s not yet fully collected,”

Lu Xuan vaguely responded.

The high-grade Spirit Plant he referred to was naturally the Nine True Spirit Leaves entrusted by the Pagoda Instrument Spirit for cultivation. He had already collected True Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, and other eight kinds of True Spirit Essence Blood, with still one type missing.

He previously sought the fellow disciples in charge of managing the sect’s Treasure Vault on several occasions but yet to find any new True Dragon Essence Blood.

“I asked several ancestors, and one of them has a drop of Three-Legged Golden Crow Essence Blood, which was originally kept for refining some high-grade Spiritual Pills. Upon hearing you’re searching, they’ve entrusted me to bring it directly to you,”

Sword Attendant said slowly, a small golden drop of Essence Blood appearing on his tiny palm.

The Essence Blood cohered without dissipating, seemingly containing a three-legged Golden Crow soaring like a Great Sun, the Solar Essence Fire filling every corner of the Essence Blood.

The scorching aura from the Essence Blood could be felt from afar.

“Three-Legged Golden Crow, truly formidable,”

Lu Xuan felt inwardly delighted.

“Then I would accept it with thanks, please convey my gratitude to the Divinity Transformation Ancestor,”

“Compared to your contribution, a drop of True Spirit Essence Blood is nothing,”

Sword Attendant waved his hand, showing a demeanor that starkly contrasted with his youthful voice.

“By the way, Elder Tianhai also told me he would soon travel outside, where there was once a rumor of a ninth grade Spiritual Object within a certain Cave Heaven, so he will take a look there,”

“That spiritual object bears similarities to the function of the ‘All Things Ultimate Mother Spirit Essence,’ I suppose Junior Brother would like it,”

Sword Attendant pursed his lips and said.

That a Great Deity of Spirit Transformation voluntarily helped to search for treasures would sound incredible to outsiders.

But comparing it to Lu Xuan’s accomplishments, it seemed quite reasonable.

“A spiritual object akin to the ‘All Things Ultimate Mother Spirit Essence’ for maturing? The more, the merrier for me,”

Lu Xuan’s heart leapt, feeling both surprised and honored.

“Junior Brother Lu need not hesitate; though ninth grade Spiritual Objects are rare and precious, their value to the Sword Sect doesn’t surpass the Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Sword Grass you have improved. That is what you deserve,”

Sword Attendant said solemnly.

“Yes, Brother. I will double my efforts to improve more Sword Grass to contribute to the prosperity of the Sword Sect,”

“Your intention is all that’s needed,”

Sword Attendant nodded with relief, then vanished without a trace.

Lu Xuan stood in place, filled with emotion.

Besides the Three-Legged Golden Crow Essence Blood, he hadn’t expected to receive the promise of a Divinity Transformation Ancestor to seek out a ninth grade accelerated spiritual object for him.

“Why do I feel like I’ve become the Sword Sect’s favored child…”

He shook his head and entered his Personal Spatial with the Three-Legged Golden Crow Essence Blood.

The Nine True Spirit Leaves had already spread out their eight large leaves, each differing in size due to the differing times of infusing Essence Blood, with each leaf appearing as its own realm, hiding true spirit shadows within.

He dripped the golden Essence Blood onto a curled-up leaf.

In an instant, a deep, ancient call seemed to ring in his ears, with a Great Sun dragging endless solar essence fire settling at the leaf’s center, condensing into a fierce and domineering red-gold Golden Crow.

He then took out a bottle of high grade Spiritual Spring and sprinkled it over each leaf, where the true spirit shadows bobbed and swayed rhythmically, enjoying themselves with an overwhelming sense of vitality.
