I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 825: Chapter 823: When Strength Isn’t Enough, Rely on the Light Cluster

“Taiyi Divine Lotus… Path Fruit…”

“I wonder if the day will ever come when I can plant the legendary Dao Fruit.”

Lu Xuan’s eyes held a trace of longing.

However, he had to get back to reality.

For the time being, he simply couldn’t meet the cultivation requirements of the Twin Birth White Lotus Spirit Seed in front of him.

“A large amount of high-rank Spirit Spring Spirit Liquid…”

He felt somewhat troubled in his heart.

At present, the Spirit Spring Spirit Liquid he had on hand for cultivating Spiritual Plants was primarily fourth-grade Snow Dragon Holy Spring and fifth-grade Moon Essence Spirit Liquid, but neither could be considered in large quantities.

“I need to go on a proper collection mission.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself, carefully digging out the Twin Birth White Lotus Spirit Seed from the Spirit Soil and temporarily storing it in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch to maintain the vitality of the Spiritual Seed.

After returning to his Cave Abode, he immediately resumed his previous life as a Spirit Plant Master, cultivating Spiritual Plants and rearing Spirit Beasts, waiting for the moment of harvest.

That day, while he was inspecting the condition of the Spiritual Plants in the field, his Spiritual Sense suddenly detected a disturbance in the Core Spirit Field.

With a flash, he instantly arrived at the Spirit Field Area where the Azure Dragon Tree, Dragon Transformation Grass, and Dragon Bone Herb were planted.

No sooner had he passed through the Prohibitions and Restrictions to enter the Spirit Field than he could faintly hear the echoing sound of dragon chants; the field was filled with an oppressive aura, inducing an involuntary urge to bow down in submission.

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Power circulated, and the faint oppressive aura dissipated into invisibility.

“Could it be that the three little Crocodile Dragons are about to hatch?”

His gaze was drawn to three pale white jade spheres in front of the massive Crocodile Dragon skeleton.

The surface of the jade spheres already had fine cracks, which were slowly extending at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In Lu Xuan’s perception, the life force of the slumbering Little Crocodile Dragons inside was growing increasingly vibrant.

Before its downfall, the seventh-grade Crocodile Dragon, concerned about the subsequent growth of its offspring, had used a dragon clan secret technique to temporarily seal them away.

After Lu Xuan obtained them, he had nurtured them daily with dragon energy and Qingmu Origin Energy for several years, finally enabling them to hatch successfully.

As he was deep in thought, a cracking sound echoed suddenly. The cracks on one of the jade spheres rapidly spread, and in an instant, it shattered into countless fragments.

“Ao wu~”

The Little Crocodile Dragon inside lifted its head and let out a long howl as if to celebrate its return to the world.

The Little Crocodile Dragon, about a foot long, was already ferocious in its small size; with an intimidating countenance, it swung its long tail at Lu Xuan.

“This little thing needs some education.”

At the thought from Lu Xuan, a streak of green light shot out from the depths of the Cave Abode.

The elegant and majestic Green Mountain Scale appeared in front of the Little Crocodile Dragon in an instant, looking down with an indifferent expression.

Before the Little Crocodile Dragon could let out a roar, the Green Mountain Scale stepped on the area right in front of its head.

The boulder trembled, and the ground immediately gave way to a large pit; amid the rising dust, the roaring of the Little Crocodile Dragon ceased abruptly.

It wasn’t clear if it was frightened or simply choked by the dust.

Following it, the other two Little Crocodile Dragons hatched one after another from their jade spheres.

The three little ones circled around the Green Mountain Scale, constantly probing, their milky voices mixed with a bit of ferocity.

After several lessons from the Green Mountain Scale, they finally calmed down completely.

They lay freely in front of the mother Crocodile Dragon’s skeleton, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

They looked peaceful and tranquil, perhaps feeling the familiar aura they once knew.

“Three Sixth Grade young beasts, the Cave Abode’s daily demand for Demon Beast Meat has just shot up quite a bit.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but remark.

Fortunately, the small lake had long been expanded several times over, so there was no need to worry about not having enough space for them to grow unrestrained.

With that in mind, he returned to the Spirit Field, continuing to inspect the detailed conditions of the many Spiritual Plants.

After nurturing all the spirit plants, Lu Xuan returned to the courtyard feeling slightly exhausted in spirit.

He entered an elegant room, filled with items related to charm creation. It was the place where he usually made his charms.

Having obtained the “Sword Talisman Commentary,” Lu Xuan had begun to practice making sword talismans. After trying time and again, he had finally achieved some small successes.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and adjusted his state to its optimum.

Then, he took out a brush made from high-grade wolf demon fur and began to draw mysterious patterns on a natural jade talisman.

When the brush paused, it formed several nodes of spiritual energy.

Both the patterns and the spiritual energy nodes required incredibly pure talisman-making skills, as well as extremely powerful spiritual sense and spiritual power.

Once the initial creation was complete, Lu Xuan’s thoughts moved and countless wind and thunder sword qi swam out like schools of fish, controlled by him as they seeped into the jade talisman.

His spiritual sense probed within, controlling the extremely fine wind and thunder sword qi, perfectly integrating into the charm.

“Done!”

“A third-grade Wind-Thunder Sword Talisman.”

Compared to the beginning, the jade talisman in front of him had undergone significant changes.

The charm faintly displayed countless fine sword qi swirling like a tempest, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling within the wind, resembling the scene of an apocalypse.

“Compared to ordinary charms, sword talismans not only require rich experience in charm creation but also extremely pure cultivation of sword dao.”

Looking at the third-grade Wind-Thunder Sword Talisman in his hand, Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Among the several sword techniques he mastered, because he had absorbed a lot of wind and thunder sword intent, his achievements in the “Wind-Thunder Sword Art” were much deeper than in “Peacock Sword Scripture” or “Blue Lotus Sword Canon.”

Therefore, he was most confident in creating wind and thunder sword talismans.

“In the future, this will be a new source of livelihood for me.”

“In the grocery store, sword talismans are always among the top three in popularity and there has always been a state of supply not meeting demand.”

“However, sword talismans can only be obtained from Sword Nurturing Gourds and Sword Grass Light Clusters, and are limited in number.”

“Now that I have mastered the method to create sword talismans, I can steadily obtain a large number of high-grade sword talismans in the future.”

“That should truly establish the reputation of the grocery store.”

As Lu Xuan thought to himself, following his usual routine, he stretched out the palm of his hand.

A crack appeared, and a grey-white pupil emerged from the rift.

Scene after scene played within the pupil, sharing the sights that the Void Nightmare Eyes continually scouting the surroundings of the cave mansion were witnessing.

“Thirty miles away, there’s a mid-term Nascent Soul cultivator skilled in stealth formula methods, using their spiritual sense to probe and peek at the cave mansion.” @@novelbin@@

“The visitor does not come with good intentions.”

“I just want to quietly cultivate my fields; why come to disturb me?”

Lu Xuan let out a soft sigh.

The commotion he caused at the birthday celebration of the Lord of Thunderfire Star last time was indeed a bit too much.

The rare and uncommon seventh-grade spirit seed, now in the hands of a Spirit Plant Master not adept at fighting, would inevitably attract the covetous glances of many cultivators once the news spread.

In the cave mansion, the several seventh-grade spirit plants, with the Azure Dragon Tree also witnessed by other cultivators, not to mention the Twin Birth White Lotus, were certainly the center of attention for many.

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable to arouse the greed of other cultivators.

After all, even risking one’s life to enter a large secret land might not yield a fifth-grade or sixth-grade treasure item, let alone a seventh-grade – which would be one in ten thousand.

And now, inside Lu Xuan’s cave abode, lay a clearly identified seventh-grade treasure items, how could other cultivators resist the temptation?

Even with the deterrence of the Thunderfire True Monarch and Patriarch Mu, there were still those who would take risks.

“My strength is still not enough.”

Despite possessing many rare treasures and mastering various powerful divine abilities, the consistently cautious Lu Xuan remained worried.

“It doesn’t matter, let’s gather the light clusters.”

Watching the many spirit plants in the spirit field growing well, he smiled.
