I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1138: Bestowing Treasures, Providing Guidance Chapter 1141: Chapter 1138: Bestowing Treasures, Providing Guidance “Alright, there’s no need to be so tense.”

“There aren’t many rules under my guidance, just remember the main points.”

“From now on, you three are disciples of my Lu Xuan Sect; you must get along well with each other.”

Lu Xuan saw the three looking as if silenced by the cold, smiled gently, and spoke softly.

“Yes!”

Seeing Lu Xuan’s demeanor, the three of them relaxed quite a bit and responded in unison.

“Now that you’ve joined my Sect, I shall give each of you a welcoming gift.”

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, three treasures appeared in his hand.

A thunder ball that resembled a small hedgehog, extending countless slender silver-white spikes.

Within it were countless hair-thin flashes of silver-white light which, on closer inspection, turned out to be formed of subtle strands of Sword Intent.

“This treasure is called Thundering Sword Gall; it can temper the heart of the Sword Path, and will greatly benefit your future Sword Dao cultivation, Hao Tian.”

The silver-white thunder ball slowly floated in front of Li Haotian.

“Thank you, Master!”

Li Haotian expressed his deep gratitude.

He had heard of the Thundering Sword Gall before, occasionally appearing in a small shop in Sword Abyss City, extremely rare among the many Sword Tao geniuses of the Sword Sect.

Once it appeared, it triggered a frenzy among sword cultivators.

He had long coveted it, but coming from a humble background, he lacked the financial means to acquire a Thundering Sword Gall.

“Joining this Sect was truly the right choice.”

He thought to himself.

He knew that Lu Xuan was the most famous Spirit Plant Master within the Sword Sect; normally, Sword Cultivation disciples would choose to follow a famous Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, but he had chosen a different path by selecting Lu Xuan.

The reason was his awareness that Lu Xuan had cultivated and even improved various high-rank Sword Grasses.

Cultivating Sword Grass required profound mastery over corresponding Sword techniques, and the fact that Lu Xuan could improve new fifth-grade Sword Grasses revealed that his level in Sword Dao was unimaginably high, far more than that of an ordinary Spirit Plant Master.

His gift of the Thundering Sword Gall upon their first meeting confirmed his guess.

“Often, choice is far more significant than effort.”

He felt extremely confident about the path of cultivation that lay ahead of him.

“Qing Shuang, I see that your Spiritual Power has reached the late Foundation Establishment for some time; this fifth-grade Essence Spirit Pill contains pure Essential Power, and swallowing it can greatly enhance your Cultivation Level.”

A round Spirit Pill with flowing Qi gently floated towards Chen Qingshuang.

“Thank you, Master!”

Chen Qingshuang’s hands trembled slightly as she received the Essence Spirit Pill.

The ingestion of this fifth-grade Spirit Pill could directly boost one’s Spiritual Power, and even among Inner Sect Disciples of the Sword Sect, only a few had taken such a pill.

She never imagined that, at her current realm, she would be able to consume such a rare and precious Spirit Pill, which made her feel unexpectedly honored.

“As for Yuanping, you are proficient in Wood-Based Techniques and naturally close to Spirit Plants, possessing good talent in the Path of Spiritual Plants. Would you be willing to walk the path of a Spirit Plant Master?”

Lu Xuan asked in a serious tone.

“Disciple is willing.”

Mu Yuanping quickly made his stance clear, admiring Lu Xuan’s exceptional Spirit Plant Mastery; he naturally had no objections to this request.

“Good, here is a Jade Slip, which contains records of many Spirit Plants I have cultivated.”

“The ranks range from third-grade to fifth-grade, including detailed methods I’ve used for cultivating various Spirit Plants, as well as the insights and experiences I’ve summarized; take it and study it well.”

“Remember not to spread it out.”

Lu Xuan instructed solemnly.

“Yes, Master!”

Mu Yuanping excitedly took the Jade Slip, carefully storing it in his Storage Bag.

Beside him, Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang’s eyes flashed with a hint of envy.

By this act, Lu Xuan clearly intended to pass on the skills of Spirit Plants to this junior brother, who, although currently the lowest in cultivation, was highly valued by Lu Xuan.

Unbeknownst to them, Lu Xuan was merely choosing the most suitable candidate.

“Alright, you three may leave for now.”

“You may choose a cave abode within Huanzhen Sword Peak, and if you have any issues afterwards, come directly to me. If I’m not around, just tell the White Ape.”

Lu Xuan gestured to the three of them.

Upon hearing this, the three of them paid their respects and withdrew.

“I never expected Master to bestow such a precious treasure!”

After leaving the cave abode, the youngest, Mu Yuanping, said excitedly.

“Master has always been generous, completely overturning my image of a Spirit Plant Master.”

Chen Qingshuang thought of the scene where Lu Xuan had given her a treasure during their first meeting and nodded in agreement.

“Master is after all the most famous Spirit Plant Master within the Sword Sect; we cannot measure him by ordinary standards.”

Li Haotian said expressionlessly, and then he changed the topic:
“Brother Mu, Junior Sister Chen, from now on, we three must advance and retreat together, not letting down Master’s expectations.”

“You’re right, Senior Brother.”

The two nodded in agreement.

Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Lu Xuan summoned Mu Yuanping and brought him to the periphery of the Spirit Field.

The periphery was mainly planted with fourth and fifth grade Sword Grass, among a few other low-rank Spirit Plants.

“Spreading such a thick layer of sixth-grade Spirit Soil in the Spirit Field… is truly extravagant…”

Mu Yuanping walked behind Lu Xuan, his head down as he looked at the deep yellow Spirit Soil on both sides of the ridge, his mind incredulous.

The Spirit Field was planted with a large number of Fifth Quality Spirit Plants, each brimming with vitality, showing the effort the Master had invested.

Deeper within, there were Prohibitions and Restrictions set, and Mu Yuanping dared not harbor any intentions of peeking.

Occasionally, powerful Sword Intent would soar into the sky as if it wanted to directly slice through the prohibitions.

“Even the prohibitions can hardly block it! Could it be the rumored Seventh Grade Sword Grass?!”

Mu Yuanping thought to himself.

He immediately realized that this thought was an overstep and hastily focused his gaze on a nearby Spirit Plant.

“Mu Yuanping, I’ve heard your physique is special, a very rare Wood Spirit Body that naturally harmonizes with all kinds of Spirit Plants.”

“Today, I shall assess you.”

Lu Xuan said warmly.

“Look at that Spirit Plant, can you sense anything?”

He pointed to a plant of fifth-grade Thunder Sound Sword Grass and spoke.

“The Sword Intent is pure, vitality exuberant, and continues with the sound of thunder; the Spirit Plant’s growth condition is very good, no need for further cultivation.”

Mu Yuanping stretched his hand over the Thunder Sound Sword Grass and after a moment of feeling with closed eyes, he replied.

“What about now?”

Lu Xuan flicked his finger lightly, and a fine silvery-white Sword Qi, carrying a faint thunderous sound, whooshed by and entered the Sword Grass.

“The growth condition still maintains a good level…”

“No, it should be said that it is even better. I seem to detect a faint yet joyful and satisfied spirit from this Sword Grass.”

Mu Yuanping felt carefully, then opened his eyes, his expression puzzled.

“That’s correct.”

Lu Xuan looked pleased as if seeing a teachable child.

“Never say you understand Spirit Plants unless you can meet the needs of every single Spirit Plant down to the finest detail.”

“This difference is what separates an ordinary Spirit Plant Master from a top-notch Spirit Plant Master.”

He spoke slowly.

“I see.”

Mu Yuanping nodded lightly, seemingly enlightened.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan secretly chuckled to himself.

Effort is worthless before talent.

And isn’t talent the same in front of external advantages?
