I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

People didn't stay long in Lu Xuan's cave mansion, taking their leave one after another.

Before leaving, they all eagerly invited Lu Xuan to visit their abodes.

"Friend Lu, we haven't seen each other for so many years, we should properly catch up."

"Friend Lu, I have some questions regarding spirit plants I'd like to consult with you about."

"Friend, the Star Master mentioned you many times over the years you were with the Sword Sect."

Faced with such enthusiasm from the crowd, Lu Xuan could only agree to each one.

"Alright, alright, once I'm done with some trivial matters in my mansion, I'll surely impose on all the friends here."

He smiled and escorted the group to the entrance of the mansion, watching until their figures had all disappeared before hurrying to the spirit field.

"No helping it, the aura that comes with Sword Sect disciples is just too strong."

He sighed and his attention was completely drawn to a piece of spirit bamboo that pierced through the clouds and shattered the rocks on the back mountain of the mansion.

"So many years gone by and you've quietly grown so tall?"

He stared, somewhat dumbfounded, at the towering Split Cloud Bamboo.

"It must be nearly ninety feet tall; it's grown too fast."

Lu Xuan's thoughts focused intently on the giant bamboo before him that exuded a bronze hue.

"It has reached its limit."

He carefully uprooted the Split Cloud Bamboo from the spirit soil.

The roots of Split Cloud Bamboo were extremely well-developed, and a large amount came out as he pulled, varying in size and potentially covering a radius of more than ten feet underground.

[Split Cloud Bamboo, Five-Quality Spirit Plant, can grow unchecked in abundant spirit aura and spirit soil, has extremely well-developed roots that will occupy and squeeze the growth space of other spirit plants. Once mature, the bamboo can be crafted into a large number of spirit arrows, flying swords, and other items, and is widely used.]

"The most important use is to create a fifth-grade spirit rod," Lu Xuan couldn't help but remark.

To most cultivators, turning a fifth-grade spirit bamboo into a rod of the same rank was an utter waste, but to a fishing enthusiast, it was an incomparable treasure, worth paying several times or even more its value to acquire.

He stored the Split Cloud Bamboo into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, and his gaze then fell upon a White Light Group that had silently emerged.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light cluster, and in an instant, it silently shattered into a sky full of light specks that quickly condensed into a long, narrow river of light that entered his body.

A thought emerged in his mind.

[Harvested a Five-Quality Spirit Plant Split Cloud Bamboo, obtained a sixth-grade complete set of Spiritual Fish fishing gear Magic Artifact.]

"Hmm? A complete set of artifacts? Specifically for fishing enthusiasts?"

Lu Xuan was startled for a moment; his gaze landed on the various artifacts that had quietly appeared before him.

A rod that could stretch and shrink, radiating spiritual light; a nearly invisible light green fishing line; and over ten oddly-shaped fishing hooks of different sizes and forms.

Lu Xuan's mind focused on these artifacts, instantly learning their detailed information.

[Ruyi Pole, Sixth Grade Magical Instrument, possesses both hardness and resilience. Once refined, it can stretch or retract in an instant according to the cultivator's thoughts, changing at will.]

[Green Jade Line, Fifth-grade Magical Instrument, made from a large collection of thousand-year green jade silkworm threads, can withstand tens of thousands of pounds of force or even more.]

[Frosted Hook of Icy Draught, Fifth-grade Magical Instrument ...]

"Over ten hooks, each with various spiritual power attributes, suitable for targeting spiritual fish with different abilities."

"Hmm? What's this one with electricity about? Spiritual Sense can instantly control the hook to release endless thunder and lightning, causing high-rank spiritual fish that bite the hook to be instantaneously paralyzed."

Lu Xuan curiously inspected the strange fishing hooks in his hand, each emitting different types of spiritual power.

"The premier Fishing Enthusiast set, ah, a sixth-grade Ruyi Pole, most of the hooks are fifth-grade, a few are sixth-grade, and the line is only fifth-grade, but it's made from millennium Green Jade silkworm threads, even if you catch a seventh-grade Spiritual fish it can hold for a few breaths," he couldn't help but exclaim.

The appearance of this fishing gear series of magical artifacts nicely replaced the Ink Jade Spirit Rod and Agilawood Hook he had used for many years.

"The time to harvest has finally come!"

As Lu Xuan's Spiritual Sense swept over, he instantly noticed that the Spirit Fields were full of fully matured Spirit Plants.

His figure flashed, and he arrived in front of two towering parasol trees.

The branches of the parasol trees were pure white and crystal-clear like jade, with a faint white spiritual light flowing over the leaves, giving off a sacred and inviolable aura.

"Both Jade Parasol Trees have fully matured, I'll harvest one, and leave the other for Condensing Seed," Lu Xuan silently thought to himself.

The Method of Seed Condensation for the Jade Parasol Tree was a treasure generously given by some familiar "Cultivators" of the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave after they found out he had joined the Dongxuan Sword Sect.

Later, he mentioned it to Wen Qian, who unexpectedly found him two saplings.

Lu Xuan was quite curious about the Light Cluster rewards for harvesting the Jade Parasol Trees and decided to leave one for Condensing Seed.

He carefully uprooted the Spirit Wood, his consciousness settling on the branches that seemed to be made of white jade.

[Jade Parasol Tree, a five-quality Spirit Plant, nourished by the essence of jade.

The matured Spirit Wood has a potent sealing and isolating effect and can be used to create containers for rare Spiritual Medicines and Spiritual Objects or as a primary material for creating sealing and prohibition Formation.]

After briefly understanding the details of the Jade Parasol Tree, Lu Xuan's gaze was drawn to a White Light Group faintly flickering in the original position of the Spirit Wood.

He reached out and lightly touched the surface of the Light Group, and in an instant, the Light Group shattered silently, like fireworks exploding, tiny points of light scattering across the sky.

Before touching ground, they condensed into a slender river of light, plunging into Lu Xuan's body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his Sea of Consciousness.

[Harvesting a five-quality Jade Parasol Tree grants a six-product treasure Forbidden Spirit Jade Box.]

An unremarkable Jade Box appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

In the depths of the Jade Box, there were faint mysterious patterns, giving off an extremely weak sense of presence, as if it would be immediately forgotten after moving one's gaze away.

Lu Xuan's consciousness focused on the ordinary Jade Box, and he immediately learned its detailed information.

[Forbidden Spirit Jade Box, a sixth-grade treasure item, forged from a strange type of jade stone that can absorb Spiritual Sense and Spiritual Power. When Spiritual Objects are placed inside, their Spiritual Nature is concealed, making them appear as if they have turned into ordinary objects. When taken out, they can recover to normal within a few days. It can isolate from Spiritual Sense, Pupil Skills, Divination Technique, and other probing methods.]

"Such a sixth-grade treasure with special functions, it can be used to store some more personal treasure items in the future," Lu Xuan secretly thought.

However, having crafted a Gluttonous Insect Pouch into a low-grade magical treasure, the value of this treasure item for him diminished significantly; it could be sold in the shop for a good price.

Gathering Light Clusters was a priority, he did not rush to Condense Seed on the remaining Jade Parasol Tree, but quickly moved on to the next Spirit Field.

The Spirit Field was planted with over a hundred third-grade Primordial Essence Herbs, which could spawn Foundation Establishment Pills, Pill Formula Experience Packages, and the Three-Grade Spirit Absorbing Grass Beads that Lu Xuan urgently needed.

Once there were enough Spirit Absorbing Grass Beads, he could continuously supply them to the Qingmu Origin Energy and then convert them into the special Plant Spirit Aura inside the Divine Wood Green Pot.

"My Alchemy Level for the Foundation Establishment Pill has reached the Transformation Stage, so absorbing more Pill Formula Experience Packages will have limited improvement,"

"However, improving even slightly below the Grandmaster Alchemy Level is quite difficult,"

"As for things like Foundation Establishment Pills, although they're just third-grade, they aren't ordinary treasures anywhere in the Cultivation World and can bring a substantial amount of Spirit Stones to the shop."

Lu Xuan kept harvesting Foundation Establishment Pills, a sense of harvest satisfaction welling up in his heart.
