I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Lu Xuan finally achieved a calm and serene life of farming.

That day, as he was nurturing the maturing Sky Origin Fruits in his cave abode, he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned to look southeast.

Three hundred miles away, a light pillar shot into the sky, causing the spiritual energy within the sword sect to become agitated, as if it had been drained, rushing madly toward the light pillar.

Outside the sword sect, the powerful sword qi that had been quietly moving around suddenly became extremely active, weaving into dense, impenetrable sword webs, with sword qi soaring into the clouds, which could be felt from afar, exuding a sharpness capable of annihilating everything.

“The Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Array is fully activated…”

“What major event has occurred?”

Lu Xuan murmured to himself as he stared at the massive light pillar on the Chongxu Sword Peak in the distance.

Since entering the sect, he had never seen the nine grade sword formation fully activated.

“Junior Brother Lu, do you have any questions?”

Suddenly, Jian Huanzhen quietly appeared in front of Lu Xuan, gazing complexly toward the direction of the light pillar.

“Indeed, please enlighten me, Senior Brother.”

Though Lu Xuan had a rough guess, he dared not be sure and curiously asked.

“Senior Brother Ling Xiaozi is preparing to impact Divinity Transformation.”

Jian Huanzhen said in a low voice, his eyes filled with joy, envy, and hope.

“Senior Brother Ling Xiaozi…”

Lu Xuan recalled an elderly man’s face, worn and gaunt, dressed in coarse clothing.

He remembered the man was the former Chongxu Sword Master, at Nascent Soul Perfect Realm, who had exchanged three Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills for a Ninth Grade Nine-Orifice Ginseng Fruit, which had lost most of its vitality, from Lu Xuan at the last spirit treasure exchange meeting.

“The Divine Transformation Realm is truly captivating.”

He couldn’t help but sigh.

Such a powerful Dongxuan Sword Sect, with over a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, only has seven Divinity Transformation cultivators, highlighting the immense difficulty of advancing to Divinity Transformation.

“Junior Brother Lu, take this opportunity to learn more about the mystery of Divinity Transformation.”

“Divinity Transformation is the fusion of Nascent Soul and Divine Soul, forming the Primordial Spirit, which is a fundamental transformation.”

“Once possessing a Primordial Spirit, one can communicate with the power of Heaven and Earth without worrying about insufficient mana, and as long as the Primordial Spirit remains, even if the flesh body is destroyed, there is potential to reconstruct it.”

“In a certain sense, Divinity Transformation marks the beginning of touching the Great Dao Laws.”

Jian Huanzhen said solemnly, slowly.

“Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother.”

Lu Xuan thanked with a bow.

Though he had just broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, with the presence of the light cluster and numerous eighth and ninth-grade Spirit Plants, even Path Fruit and Innate Spirit Root level, in his personal spatial space, he fully expected to achieve Divinity Transformation.

“Currently, there’s a Ninth Grade Taiqing True Thunder Tree capable of assisting in resisting heavenly tribulation; if one or two similar spiritual objects can be found, the chances of advancing to Divinity Transformation would be significantly increased.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Just as he was about to inquire further about Divinity Transformation, the light pillar suddenly vanished, and the drained spiritual energy quickly returned to normal.

“Senior Brother, what does this mean?”

“Senior Brother Ling Xiaozi has entered the Dongxuan Realm to prepare for the Divinity Transformation Heavenly Tribulation.”

“The arrangements within the Dongxuan Realm can slightly enhance the chances of surviving the heavenly tribulation.”

“I hope Senior Brother is successful.”

Jian Huanzhen let out a deep breath, explaining to Lu Xuan.

If Ling Xiaozi successfully advances to Divinity Transformation, it would bring countless benefits to the sword sect.

“He will definitely succeed.”

Lu Xuan agreed.

If Ling Xiaozi advanced to Divinity Transformation, not to mention anything else, just the previous exchange of three Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills from him would have unprecedented promotional effects.

Thinking of this, he hoped more than others within the sect for him to achieve Divinity Transformation.

Three days later, a strand of sword qi spanned across the sword sect, the mature voice of a sword attendant echoing in the ears of every sword sect disciple.

“Congratulations to Senior Brother Ling Xiaozi of Chongxu Sword Peak on successfully advancing to Divinity Transformation!”

Everyone was stunned, suppressing the various emotions rising within, they bowed distantly in salute.

“Congratulations Ancestor Lingxiao!”

“Congratulations…”

Lu Xuan also bent in salute, his mouth curling upward.

Three months later, the sword sect specially held the Divinity Transformation ceremony for Ling Xiaozi.

Within the Sword Palace, a myriad of lights illuminated, jade trees and precious branches adorned, immortal strange beasts drifted, presenting a scene of boundless splendor.

Primordial Infant cultivators shuttled among them, all with joyful expressions.

Great sects from various realms around sent representatives, coming to congratulate the appearance of Dongxuan Sword Sect’s eighth Divinity Transformation cultivator.

During this ceremony, aside from those in closed secluded meditation or traveling without known whereabouts, the sword sect’s remaining three Divinity Transformation ancestors showed up to support Ling Xiaozi.

Among them were Elder Tianhai and Ancestor Suyue, whom Lu Xuan had previously seen.

Led by Ling Xiaozi, the four slowly walked to the front of the stage.

A sect elder in the Sword Palace promptly cried aloud:

“Congratulations Ancestor Lingxiao on breaking through the Nascent Soul shackles, condensing the Primordial Spirit, proving immortality!”

“Congratulations Ancestor Lingxiao on breaking through the Nascent Soul shackles, condensing the Primordial Spirit, proving immortality!”

“Congratulations…”

Voices of congratulation resonated throughout the sword sect, lingering endlessly.

Lu Xuan felt proud, his heart igniting a longing for Divinity Transformation.

Sitting with acquaintances like Li Xuanchen and other familiar disciples, he enjoyed rare delicacies and fine wine.

Every now and then, outer sect cultivators came to converse, drawn by his reputation.

Lu Xuan took the opportunity to meet several formidable cultivators, though regrettably found no high-grade spirit seeds or accelerated spiritual objects that impressed him.

While chatting amiably with several fellow disciples, Lu Xuan’s divine sense suddenly detected that Ling Xiaozi had come before him.

“Greetings Ancestor Lingxiao!”

Several people quickly rose to salute.

“No need for formalities.”

Ling Xiaozi waved his hand casually as he spoke.

“I specifically came to express my gratitude to you, Disciple Lu. Those three Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills you provided were quite beneficial to me, alleviating my worries so I could fully commit and successfully advance to Divinity Transformation.”

He smiled, addressing Lu Xuan.

“Your words are too kind, Ancestor; it’s all due to your immense strength, thorough preparation, and divine favor that you successfully advanced. Those Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills are insignificant.”

Lu Xuan replied quickly.

“Hahaha! No need to be so distant, call me Uncle Master.”

Ling Xiaozi laughed heartily.

“Achieving Divinity Transformation requires satisfying many conditions, and your Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills were certainly contributory.”

“Disciple Lu, should you need anything from me in the future, don’t hesitate to seek me out.”

He promised Lu Xuan.

Though Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills are only seventh grade, life-prolonging spiritual objects are exceedingly rare, having the opportunity to obtain three seventh grade lifespan extending spirit pills is already exceptional, Ling Xiaozi naturally remembered Lu Xuan’s aid.

After a brief conversation, he left Lu Xuan with a contact token before departing.

“Junior Brother Lu! You actually obtained a promise from a Divinity Transformation ancestor!”

“It’s truly enviable!!”

“Despite being fellow sword sect disciples, how can the difference be so vast?”

“I’m envious to the point my Nascent Soul might leave my body!!”

After Ling Xiaozi left, the cultivators at the table were all filled with envy.

The gap between Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation is like an abyss, Ling Xiaozi’s words could be considered a grand opportunity or a life-saving talisman, effective in critical moments.

“Merely fortunate, merely fortunate; I happened to learn the method for refining Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills and coincidentally obtained some refining materials.”

Lu Xuan said modestly.

“Junior Brother Lu, next time you refine Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills, you must prioritize consideration for me.”

An eight-hundred-year-old Mid stage Nascent Soul cultivator remarked earnestly.

“Indeed, last time I wasn’t prepared in time; next time, I can’t miss out again.”

“If you need anything, Junior Brother Lu, just speak, I’ll risk my life to obtain it.”

The crowd chimed in.

“Rest assured, senior brothers. Once successfully refining new Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills, I will prioritize my fellow sword sect disciples.”

Lu Xuan nodded, looking at the crowd of senior cultivators surrounding him.

The higher the cultivation level, the greater the fear of death; none among the group of nearly expiring cultivators could resist the allure of Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills.

Lu Xuan, able to steadily produce seventh grade lifespan extending spirit pills, was naturally worth befriending.

“Junior Brother Lu, you must intensify your alchemy efforts! If lacking any materials, let us know!”

“High-grade spirit seeds are ready; just waiting for you to exchange them for spirit pills!”

“Don’t be impatient, senior brothers and sisters; I am in the process of refining!”

Lu Xuan hastily reassured.
