I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

The Red Gold Furnace was only the size of a palm and floated slightly rotating in front of Lu Xuan, faintly radiating an extraordinary aura.

The surface of the furnace was inscribed with various strange patterns of flowers, insects, and fish, and at the bottom, a faint spiritual light supported it. When Spiritual Sense probed into the interior of the furnace, one could see threads of pure white flames quietly burning.

Even with the intangible Spiritual Sense, one could feel the extreme heat of the pure white flames.

Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the Red Gold Furnace, and he immediately understood detailed information about it.

[Origin Yang True Fire Furnace, a Six-product treasure, forged from ten thousand catties of Red Sun Fire ores and a large amount of fire-resistant Spirit Ores, containing numerous fifth-grade Origin Yang True Flames within, suitable for refining most Elixirs and certain Magic Artifacts.]

[Able to slightly increase the success rate of refining and the quality of Elixirs and Magic Artifacts.]

"A sixth-grade auxiliary class Treasure..." @@novelbin@@

Lu Xuan looked at the Red Gold Furnace in front of him, feeling satisfied within.

"It’s extremely suitable for both alchemy and refining instruments, perfectly compensating for my deficiencies in this aspect."

Although he currently had grandmaster-level skills in Alchemy concerning Elixirs like Foundation Establishment Pills and Dust Removal Pills, and had also made progress in refining instruments. The furnace he used for Alchemy and Tool Refining was just an ordinary high-rank furnace, far inferior to the Origin Yang True Fire Furnace before him.

"I have been rushing ahead in the path of Alchemy and Tool Refining."

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but reflect on this.

He carefully stored the Red Gold Furnace before he had the leisure to carefully examine the Origin Yang Wood placed aside.

Origin Yang Wood was a higher-grade instrument refining material than Black Metal Wood, capable of refining various Magic Artifacts. The Spirit Wood itself carried an extremely Yang essence, having a natural suppressive effect against Yin demons and evil spirits.

However, with his current level of instrument refining, there was still a considerable distance to go before he could refine this fifth-grade Origin Yang Wood.

"I’ll try my hand first with the previously matured Black Metal Wood."

Armed with the Essentials of Hundred Refinements and the corresponding Experience Package, as well as the Gale-Thirty-Six Hammer and this Six-product Origin Yang True Fire Furnace, Lu Xuan felt terrifyingly strong, seemingly in the form of a Refining Grandmaster.

As soon as he thought of it, he did it, concentrating his mind, and simulated the process of refining Flying Swords in his Sea of Consciousness.

Then, he took out a section of black Spirit Wood, meticulously following the steps for processing the Spirit Wood.

Half a day later, after numerous tedious steps, a Flying Sword with flowing black light appeared before Lu Xuan.

"A fourth-grade Flying Sword, luckily refined.

Although it is slightly inferior to the Wind-Thunder Sword in my hand, as well as those several Scabbard Harem Flying Swords, its quality is still fairly good, and it should be welcomed by many Foundation Establishment Cultivators if placed in the Grocery Store."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

For Loose Cultivators or Cultivators from smaller Sects and clans, getting a handy Flying Sword was already quite good; they didn’t have any other demands.

In contrast, Lu Xuan wasn’t aware of the blessings around him. Whether it was the Peacock King Sword or the Bone Slaying Sword Grass and Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass, all were silently gathering dust in his Dantian or the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

Refining Flying Swords was only an occasional activity for him; he still focused on Cultivating Spiritual Plants, putting everything else slightly behind.

That day, while Lu Xuan was checking the specific condition of the Spirit Field Spirit Plants, a gentle voice came from outside the Cave Abode.

"Is Friend Lu present in the Cave Abode? I am Qi Wuheng, coming over to visit Friend Lu."

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense swept over briefly, and a cultivator with a refined and elegant demeanor was standing quietly outside the Cave Abode.

The cultivator’s aura was profound; his pupils were silver-white. From the pupils, fine thunder patterns spread outward, looking extremely deep and magical.

It was Qi Wuheng, the Thunderfire Star Cave Envoy, with the Cultivation Level of the Golden Core Late Stage, managing the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave on behalf of the Star Master.

"So it’s Fellow Qi. I didn’t go out to meet you; please forgive me."

Lu Xuan turned into a stream of light appearing at the edge of the Cave Abode, his face bearing a warm and sincere smile.

"Friend Lu is too polite."

Qi Wuheng was about to step into the Cave Abode when he suddenly paused, a surprised expression appearing on his face.

"Has Friend Lu advanced to the Golden Core Mid Stage?"

He couldn’t help but ask aloud.

"During a recent retreat in my cave abode, I chanced upon an epiphany and was fortunate enough to make a breakthrough,"

Lu Xuan said modestly.

Although he had pushed back the timeline of his breakthrough by over a decade, it still came as a surprise to Qi Wuheng.

"If Qi doesn’t misremember, wasn’t Friend Lu promoted to Core Formation at Thunderfire Star Cave?"

Qi Wuheng fell into deep thought.

"It’s only been a little over thirty years as I recall, I didn’t expect you to make such rapid progress to the Mid-term of Core Formation."

He managed to compose himself, but a flicker of astonishment in the corner of his eye revealed the unrest within his heart.

Lu Xuan had always come across as a Spirit Plant Master, obsessed with all kinds of rare spiritual plants, showing little interest in exploring secret lands or seeking fortune as other cultivators did.

He was amiable by nature, hardly ever involved in conflicts, appearing to be harmless to humans and animals alike.

Yet, it was such a Spirit Plant Master, not adept at legal fights, who had quietly achieved a breakthrough to the Mid-term of Core Formation. How could he not be taken aback?

"Such a pace of cultivation could even be compared with disciples of great sects,"

he couldn’t help but sigh, his voice carrying a hint of envy for Lu Xuan’s smooth progression through the realms.

"Fellow Qi is overpraising me,"

Lu Xuan quickly interjected.

"Lu merely spent the time other friends used to explore secret lands on cultivating,"

"Albeit missing many opportunities to acquire fortuitous treasures, rendering my strength far inferior to that of same-level cultivators,"

"But what is lost is gained elsewhere. Being able to fully concentrate on cultivating, single-mindedly increasing my Cultivate Level."

"In addition, I have cultivated quite a few high-rank spirit plants, spending nearly all obtained spirit stones on purchasing elixirs and treasures to enhance spiritual power, so the speed of Cultivation Level increase is still acceptable."

Lu Xuan sighed, putting on an impressive act in front of Qi Wuheng.

"Friend Lu, you don’t have to belittle yourself. Even if the treasures you possess and divine skills you learned are not as numerous as those of cultivators of the same stage, with your cultivation at the Golden Core Mid Stage Realm, overpowering those in the Early Core Formation stage with sheer spiritual power should be no issue,"

Qi Wuheng said, trying to reassure him.

"Haha, Fellow Qi need not worry, Lu indeed has a sense of his own abilities,"

"Facing those in the Early Core Formation stage possessing numerous treasures, I may not necessarily be their match."

Lu Xuan was now fully immersed in the persona of an ordinary Spirit Plant Master.

"However, considering my inherently cautious nature and average talents, being able to cultivate to the Mid-term of Core Formation is already more than satisfying."

"As for advancing to the Late Core Formation stage or even the Nascent Soul Realm, that’s something I wouldn’t dare to even dream of."

"From now on, I’ll just be an ordinary Spirit Plant Master."

"To reach such a level as a Spirit Plant Master, that’s indeed unique,"

Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, Qi Wuheng was momentarily rendered speechless, struggling to find a response after a long pause.

"Different beings thrive in different ways. As long as one remains cautious, there will also be a way for Spirit Plant Masters to survive,"

Lu Xuan reflected.

"In the future, I will have to trouble Fellow Qi to take care of me even more,"

"That goes without saying,"

In the courtyard, Qi Wuheng sipped the spirit fruit spirit paste offered by Lu Xuan and smiled.

"By the way, the reason Qi came to visit today is to extend an invitation to you to attend a celebratory feast hosted by Thunderfire True Monarch,"

An invitation enveloped in gold flew out from his wide sleeves, hovering in front of Lu Xuan.
