I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Lu Xuan offered a third-grade Enchanted Immortal Peach to the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad primarily as a test.

By completing the feeding process, he could understand the preferences of the seventh-grade Strange Beast and thus target its desires to extract the treasured items he coveted.

"It favors consuming thunder-related spirit fruits and spiritual medicines..."

"I have three types of such spirit fruits in my hands, fourth-grade Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds, fifth-grade Five Thunder Lotus, and sixth-grade Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit."

"Let’s start with a fourth-grade Thunderstorm Lotus Seed to test the effect."

His thoughts rapidly flashed through his mind as a silver white lotus seed appeared in the palm of his hand.

The surface of the lotus seed had many hair-thin threads of lightning moving around it, from which one could perceive an extremely active thunderous aura.

Lu Xuan, with his spiritual power, held up the silver white lotus seed and presented it to the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad.

"Senior Shen Chan, this is a fourth-grade Thunderstorm Lotus Seed that I have cultivated myself. It has a wonderful taste and is rich in pure thunder energy, I kindly ask you to accept it," he said.

"If the senior finds it to be satisfactory, perhaps you might bestow upon this junior a treasure related to spirit plants."

He conveyed his slightly nervous message through a spiritual voice transmission. @@novelbin@@

The giant toad swallowed the silver white lotus seed in one gulp, with lightning sparks jumping out from between its teeth before quickly disappearing.

Shortly after, it opened its mouth again, and a beam of light shot out from within.

As the light receded, a bottle of peculiar spiritual liquid appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The spiritual liquid tumbled endlessly within the bottle like ink, rich in Yin Qi, emanating a slightly chilling presence even through the glass.

"This is..."

Lu Xuan was puzzled in his heart.

"Friend Lu, you are too lucky! You’ve actually extracted such a Strange Treasure!" exclaimed a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator nearby.

"How so?" asked Lu Xuan, curious. Your next chapter is on NovelBin.Côm

"This item is called Ink Yin Spring, a rare fifth-grade spirit liquid in the world, containing impeccably pure and concentrated Yin Qi."

"Adding a small amount during alchemy can significantly increase the likelihood of enhancing an elixir’s quality and the probability of successful pill formation."

"In addition, it can also be used to cultivate some special spiritual seeds that require nourishment from Yin Qi, which is perfect for you, a Spirit Plant Master like Friend Lu," the Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator explained.

"I see, this junior thanks Senior Shen Chan," he said.

After giving the Thunderstorm Lotus Seed to the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad, Lu Xuan knew there was a high probability of obtaining a fine treasure, but the necessary courtesies still had to be observed. A look of pleasant surprise now appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.

"A fifth-grade spirit liquid, the treasure you received, Friend Lu, can be ranked within the top ten of all treasures here," continued the Cultivator.

"You’re really fortunate."

"And it’s a treasure that happens to be perfectly suited for you, like it was made to order; I’m truly envious!!!"

The surrounding crowd, upon seeing the bottle of Ink Yin Spring in Lu Xuan’s hands, couldn’t help but express their envious remarks with a sour tone.

The Ink Yin Spring was already highly valuable, and to obtain it at such a low cost made them wonder, why didn’t they draw such a wonderful treasure?

Many cultivators thought this to themselves all at once.

"It’s just good luck," Lu Xuan modestly clasped his hands together, took a deep breath, and continued standing in front of the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad.

His focus consolidated on the giant toad, and he clearly noticed a significant improvement in the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad’s mood.

There was a sense of pleasure like that of tasting delicious food.

"A seventh-grade Strange Beast, yet it’s completely within my grasp," Lu Xuan thought proudly, his mind abuzz with thoughts.

"Should I gamble on something even bigger?"

Having confirmed that he could specifically exchange thunder-related Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Medicines for the treasure he desired from the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad, he now hesitated.

"It is necessary to increase the value of the Spirit Fruit, but the real question for this final opportunity is whether to use a fifth-grade Five Thunder Lotus or a sixth-grade Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit to trade with Shen Chan."

Golden Core Cultivators can draw treasures three times, and to get the coveted treasure, Lu Xuan was certain he would continue to trade treasure for treasure on his last attempt.

"Offering a Five Thunder Lotus is the safest way, as the treasure obtained won’t be too surprising and won’t offend the Lord of Thunderfire Star."

"But if I use up the last chance like this, there will still be some reluctance in my heart."

"The opportunity to acquire Seventh Grade Spirit Seeds is too rare. If I miss it now, I would beat my chest and stamp my feet with regret a hundred years later, bemoaning what could have been."

"So, I will gamble once with the Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit."

"This Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad is powerful and often searches various realms for treasures. I bet you have a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed within you!"

Lu Xuan made up his mind, and with a thought, a deep purple Spirit Fruit spun out and flew forth.

The surface of the Spirit Fruit was covered with dense patterns, as if endless thunder and fire were mixed together, with strands of pale purple thunder light seeping out, revealing a dangerous aura.

"A Sixth Grade Spirit Fruit?"

"Friend Lu is quite generous!"

The moment the Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit was brought out, it garnered the attention of numerous Jindan Cultivators.

The price was far too steep!

If it were up to them, though they knew that using a higher rank treasure greatly increased the chances of obtaining rare treasures from the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad, in all honesty, none would be willing to bet a Sixth Grade Treasure on that slim possibility.

Previously, several Golden Core Real People offered Fifth Rank Treasures, but what they got in exchange was at best same-level artifacts, charms, and even some less fortunate ones ended up with fourth-grade elixirs, incurring heavy losses.

"Such a big gamble!"

"If in the end he exchanges for a two or three-grade treasure..."

"There will be quite a show to watch."

Upon discovering the Sixth Grade Spirit Fruit Lu Xuan had taken out, everyone was instantly energized, staring fixedly at the position of the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad.

"Senior Shen Chan, this Sixth Grade Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit was cultivated by my own hands and should be quite beneficial for you. I kindly ask you to accept it."

"If you have appropriate Spirit Seeds, I hope you won’t be stingy in giving me one."

Lu Xuan sincerely transmitted his request to the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad.

The Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit in front of him also drifted slowly toward the giant toad.

Watching the deep purple thunder light swirling on the Spirit Fruit, the thus far indifferent gaze of the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad finally showed a few changes.

Half admiration, half curiosity.

With a gentle inhale, a beam of white light shot out quickly, sweeping up the Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit and swallowing it in one gulp.

In an instant, thunder boomed from within the giant toad’s body, the protrusions of money on its skin revealing hints of purple, making the money patterns even more mysteriously luxurious.

Moments later, all the money patterns soared into the sky, constantly spinning and twirling, arranging into endless variations.

Above in the high sky, Thunderfire True Monarch watched intently from above.

"I didn’t expect that the Sixth Grade Spirit Fruit would have such a wonderful use, actually enabling the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad to gain a noticeable increase in strength," he murmured.

"Even more unexpectedly, that Spirit Plant Master named Lu Xuan was willing to offer a Sixth Grade Spirit Fruit in exchange for other unknown treasures."

Several Nascent Soul True Monarchs stood behind him, each looking intrigued at the scene below.

"Our Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce’s Spirit Plant Scholar Guest Courtesy has quite the skill, that’s for sure," said Patriarch Mu with pride.

"However, Fellow Lei Huo, if the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad doesn’t bring out a suitable treasure later, I might have to find you for an explanation," he joked.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a beam of light shot out from the toad’s mouth.
