I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

"The number of flying swords and sword grass in my hands keeps growing. I'll have to relegate some of the ordinary items in the scabbard harem to the cold palace and sell them in the store."

Lu Xuan placed the Seven Slaughter Sword into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, silently thinking.

Fourth Grade Sword Grass is quite common in the Sword Sect, but the Fifth Rank is different. It's an innate sword instrument, rare and precious, holding great attraction for sword cultivators. If I were to sell it, it could definitely become a major feature of the shop.

Although he was satisfied with the Seven Slaughter Sword, he had no intention of refining it into his personal magic treasure.

"After using it for a while, I'll gift it to the scabbard that's currently nurturing the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed."

"This Seven Slaughter Sword inherently possesses murderous intent, which will surely bring an ultimate experience to the scabbard."

"A murderous flying sword falls for me..."

"Since I'm pursuing thrills, I might as well go all the way."

Lu Xuan thought of the increasingly numerous and bizarre nurturing Xuan sword sheaths in the harem, his lips curling into a smile.

After harvesting the Bone Slaying Sword Grass, the remaining eight stalks of Five-grade Sword Grass were also about to mature.

Lu Xuan was not in a hurry, so he did not use the Divine Wood Green Pot or the Mixed Element Tree Liquid.

That day, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Sword Peak came to visit.

Lu Xuan was quite familiar with both of them, Jin Zaigan, who was at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, and Ye Lingkong, at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, the latter having also participated in the talisman-making competition with him.

"Uncle Master Jin, Master Ye, may I know what brings you to visit your disciple?"

Lu Xuan greeted the two and curiously asked as he sat down.

"Indeed, we were hoping to ask for your help, Disciple Lu."

Jin Zaigan cleared his throat softly.

"Master, please speak freely."

"It's like this, during the last Sword Peak competition, you scored an A in talisman making."

"There aren't many disciples in Sword Peak who are proficient in talisman making, so we earnestly request that you hold a small exchange meeting. Gather some fellow disciples who are studying talisman making and give them some advice and guidance to help them improve their skills."

"In order to raise the average score in the next Sword Peak competition."

"I have no objections, Uncle Master."

"But I only excel in a few sword talismans, so I can only share the corresponding talisman-making techniques, not much else."

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment before responding.

He had received various kinds of support within Sword Peak, and after his ranking improved in the last Sword Peak competition, the True Sword Master was so pleased that he personally granted him a plot of land rich in Sword Qi and a Seventh Grade Infinite Sword Grass of Freedom Spirit Seed. Compared to these, organizing a talisman-making exchange meeting was trivial.

It would only delay his training for a day or two.

Moreover, if the talisman-making skills of the Sword Peak could be collectively improved, and they could secure or even advance a few ranks in the next Sword Peak competition, then as the most renowned logistics cultivator on the Huanzhen Sword Peak, he would stand to gain considerably.

"Uncle Master, should we also talk about the experience with cultivating spiritual plants and spirit brews?"

Lu Xuan took the initiative to ask.

"Not for now."

"The growth cycle for cultivating spiritual plants is too long, it cannot produce good effects in a short time. You and your brothers can just discuss it among yourselves on normal days."

"As for spirit brews, not many in Sword Peak are adept at brewing, and they make up a very small proportion during the competitions."

"Even if you, Disciple, are willing to share, it would be easy to leak the formulas for spirit brews, which could instead harm you later on."

Jin Zaigan said with an aged voice.

Lu Xuan naturally had no objections and agreed on a date with the two men.

"I never expected to reach a position where I could teach within the Sword Sect."

He watched as the figures of the two men disappeared, muttering to himself.

With ten days left until the scheduled exchange meeting, he was not in a hurry and returned his attention to cultivating spiritual plants.

Before the start of the exchange meeting, another high-order spirit plant in the Spirit Field fully matured.

It was the Fifth Grade Origin Spirit Ginseng.

The pure white Spirit Ginseng seemed to have been condensed from highly pure Primordial Qi.

Merely the emanating Primordial Qi diffused around the area like a faint mist, indicating the richness and purity of the Qi.

"To pick or not to pick?"

Lu Xuan found himself in a dilemma.

In the Spirit Field, there were nine stalks of Origin Spirit Ginseng, of which seven had been brought from the Cloud Void Domain and the other two had been planted early in the Sword Sect's Cave Abode.

"Still, I'm a bit curious about the Light Cluster reward."

"Just this one stalk."

In the end, unable to suppress his growing curiosity and the delightful sensation of swiftly increasing cultivation level, he decided to pick this mature stalk of Origin Spirit Ginseng.

After carefully plucking the Origin Spirit Ginseng, his gaze fell upon the White Light Group that had quietly surfaced.

Touching it gently with his hand, the Light Group shattered silently like a bubble, with countless points of light scattering in all directions and instantly condensing into a thin river of light that rapidly flowed into Lu Xuan's body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Harvested one stalk of Fifth Grade Origin Spirit Ginseng, obtained the Elixir Recipe for Fifth Grade Origin Spirit Pill."

As the thought vanished, a vast amount of information flooded into Lu Xuan's mind.

"Origin Spirit Pill, a Fifth Rank Spirit Pill, crafted using Origin Spirit Ginseng as the main ingredient, containing highly pure and rich Primordial Qi, which upon consumption can enhance the Spiritual Power inside a Cultivator."

Lu Xuan stood still, and after a moment, he had absorbed and digested all the information.

"It's actually a Pill Formula Experience Package."

"But that's also fairly normal; the cultivation reward from the Light Cluster of the previously planted Ice Firefly Grass was also just a rarity."

Lu Xuan murmured softly.

Although he did not receive the substantial cultivation reward he wanted, obtaining the Elixir Recipe for the Origin Spirit Pill was still quite good.

So far, the high-rank Elixirs he had mastered were only three: the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Dust Removal Pill, and the relatively inferior Five Element Pill.

The rest of the low-grade Elixirs were too low in value, making them unnecessary to craft.

"The Origin Spirit Pill can enhance the Spiritual Power inside the body, and its popularity in the Cultivation World is comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Pill, particularly among High-Order Cultivators."

"If I can absorb several more Pill Formula Experience Packages and maximize the production level of this pill, it could completely become a standout skill, earning a fortune daily is not an exaggeration."

Lu Xuan secretly thought.

The first Pill Formula Experience Package gave him an entry-level skill, but the success rate was too low; it would be better to absorb several more packages before attempting to craft it.

"There are still eight stalks of Origin Spirit Ginseng left; once they are all successfully condensed into seeds, up to twenty Spiritual Seeds could be harvested."

"Finally, I can stably acquire a large amount of cultivation."

Lu Xuan couldn't help reflecting, deciding to prepare for his breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Stage.

Soon, the day arrived that he and Jin Zaigan had agreed upon.

"Greetings, Brother Lu."

"Junior Brother Lu, you've worked hard."

The thirty or so fellow disciples who came to the exchange meeting, most of whom had met during the Sword Peak Talisman Crafting Competition, greeted him.

Lu Xuan nodded in response, welcoming everyone to an open clearing that had already been prepared with plenty of tables, chairs, and talisman crafting accessories.

"Master Ye, why are you sitting down there? Come up and join me, your junior."

Lu Xuan saw Ye Lingkong sitting formally below and invited him to join.

"Today, we discuss the levels of talisman crafting skill, not cultivation status."

"My talisman crafting skill is inferior to yours, so I should properly listen from below to the insights of a talisman master like you."

Ye Lingkong spoke solemnly.

His stance behaved everyone else from Sword Peak to honestly refrain from any frivolity.
