I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

“Makes sense, treasures are merely external possessions.”

Lu Xuan nodded and said.

“Brother Zhou, how many Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills would you like to exchange for this Azure Qing Yuan Tree?”

“Two will be sufficient.”

The elder paused for a moment and spoke softly.

Under normal circumstances, the value of the Eighth Grade Azure Qing Yuan Tree would far exceed that of two Seventh Grade Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills, but now things are different. The Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pill is invaluable to him, and with numerous competitors eyeing it, he dares not ask for too much.

Moreover, even if he exchanges for three Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills, the effect of the third one would greatly diminish when taken repeatedly, becoming somewhat useless.

“Then, Junior Brother gets quite a bargain.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“How about this, you keep the Azure Qing Yuan Tree for now, and if Brother Zhou has a need for it in the future, you can borrow it anytime.”

He pondered for a moment and suggested.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Lu.”

The elder was greatly moved by these words, reflecting on Lu Xuan’s kindness and generosity.

“Junior Brother, please note that when the Azure Qing Yuan Tree absorbs Spirit Stones, it can be described as a Bottomless Pit. You must prepare sufficient High Grade Spirit Stones before using it.”

“Of course, if there are High Grade Spirit Stones, that would be even better.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Brother.”

Lu Xuan clasped his hands in gratitude.

Spirit Stones? What he lacks the least are Spirit Stones. He is not afraid of shortage of Spirit Stones; he fears the Azure Qing Yuan Tree won’t absorb Spirit Stones as quickly as he earns them.

After handing two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills to the elder, Lu Xuan continued to survey the treasures held by his fellow cultivators.

He approached a middle-aged cultivator with a dignified demeanor.

“Junior Brother Lu, I am Jiang Wenyu from the Pure Yang Sword Summit. I have an Eighth Grade Demon Beast Egg in hand; would Junior Brother Lu be interested?”

“Eighth Grade Demon Beast? Let’s have a look, Senior Brother Jiang.”

Jiang Wenyu nodded lightly, and a golden egg appeared in his hand.

The surface of the eggshell was marked with red-gold patterns, and upon probing with Divine Sense, Lu Xuan discovered a half-foot-long pale golden Flood Dragon tightly curled up inside.

“The Demon Beast inside is a Golden Xuan Jiao, whose dragon bloodline is quite strong among the Flood Dragon Tribe. If cultivated properly, it has a great chance of becoming an Eighth Grade Demon Beast. It’s said that somewhere in a sea there’s a Golden Xuan Jiao King of Divine Transformation Level.”

“Being capable of reaching Eighth Grade Level is indeed impressive.”

Lu Xuan showed a look of admiration.

The only consideration is the lengthy growth cycle of Demon Beasts; the effort and resources required are far greater than those needed for Spirit Plants of the same rank. Lu Xuan could only consider it as an alternative.

“Let me think it over; if there are no better options, I’ll discuss it with Senior Brother Jiang.”

He hesitated and, with some apology, spoke to the other.

“No problem.”

Jiang Wenyu said no more, releasing the prohibitions and restrictions and waiting with closed eyes.

“Senior Sister Han, it’s been a long time.”

Lu Xuan approached Han Yufeng.

He was deeply impressed by the woman before him; during the last pill exchange meeting, he had traded for a bottle of Eighth Grade Creation Spirit Dew from her, which he hasn’t finished using yet.

“Junior Brother Lu, I’ve gathered an Eighth Grade Accelerated Spiritual Object. Would it catch Junior Brother’s interest?”

Han Yufeng got to the point, spreading her palm where a white jade small bottle floated quietly above.

Thin strands of cold air seeped from the bottle, forming a thin layer of frost with an extremely cold aura, creating a freezing sensation in the Divine Soul even from a distance.

“What is this?”

“This object is called Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew. I found a piece of Ten Thousand Years Cold Marrow under the ice plain and collected it from there.”

“Unfortunately, the quantity is small, only ten drops.”

“Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew is a superior material for alchemy and extremely effective in promoting the growth of Spirit Plants, especially those related to cold attributes.”

Han Yufeng provided a simple introduction.

“Only Senior Sister Han could possess such ability to gather such a treasure from the ice plain.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but admire.

The woman is said to have an Ice Crystal Spirit Body, which makes her even more comfortable in the Ten Thousand Year Cold Ice. Within the Sword Palace, she has a Cave Abode constructed entirely of Ice Jade.

“Junior Brother praises me too highly.”

Han Yufeng said without any change in expression.

“I remember Senior Sister Han exchanged for two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills from me the last time. If taken again, the effects would be significantly reduced.”

He kindly reminded.

“I am currently cultivating a secret technique. Even if I can’t break through to Divinity Transformation, as long as I succeed, I can prolong my life by hundreds of years with the power of the technique.”

“However, my life expectancy is limited, so I’m looking for life extending Spiritual Objects.”

“Even if Junior Brother’s Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pill can only extend my life by decades, the chances of my cultivation succeeding will increase significantly.”

Han Yufeng explained in detail.

“Ten drops of Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew for two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills from Junior Brother, is that acceptable?”

“That’s fine.”

Lu Xuan readily agreed, as he has a Nine Netherworld Yin Lotus on hand, and using the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew to hasten its maturity seems perfect.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Lu. With these two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills, I shall close off my Cave Abode for intense cultivation of the secret technique. We shall meet again if fate allows.”

“Congratulations in advance on your successful cultivation, Senior Sister.”

As Lu Xuan spoke, Han Yufeng’s figure vanished instantly, leaving behind a faint chill.

“At the two previous exchange meetings, Senior Sister Han has indeed offered quite a few good treasures.”

Previously twelve drops of Creation Spirit Dew, and now ten drops of Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew, Lu Xuan holds this Sword Palace Elder in high regard.

“I used up nearly half of the nine Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills at once, receiving an Eighth Grade Azure Essence Tree and ten drops of Eighth Grade Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow Jade Dew for it—a great haul.”

“With five left, I should use them sparingly.”
