I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

In the cave abode.

"Friend Lu, I must thank you for that Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect Spirit Pet this time."

Ye Xuanyin’s face showed gratitude as she spoke towards Lu Xuan.

At this moment, the arm that had previously been covered in dark flesh sprouts had returned to normal at the broken section, and it only needed the right elixir to regrow.

And all of this, the poisonous insect beneath her feet, covered with green copper coins, played a significant role.

After being infected with the Evil Demon Strange Poison, she had no other choice but to seek out Lu Xuan’s Cave Mansion, purchasing a bottle of Dust Removal Pill in an attempt to delay the spread of the Strange Poison while looking for a solution.

Unexpectedly, she found a fundamental solution at Lu Xuan’s place.

"For such kindness, Ye Mou will keep it in mind; I owe Friend Lu a great favor. If ever there is a need for my assistance in the future, I shall go through water and tread on fire without hesitation."

Ye Xuanyin said with a solemn expression.

"Fellow Ye, there is no need to be so formal, it was just a matter of hand."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

He was not wrong in saying so, since it was only because of the rare Evil Demon Strange Poison that the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect had the chance for a breakthrough. This was hardly about one helping the other.

Should it be considered a possible reward of a light cluster, Ye Xuanyin’s own assistance might even be considered greater.

"Friend Lu is truly too kind and compassionate."

Ye Xuanyin couldn’t help exclaiming with emotion.

"Ye Mou is not one to forget favors and violate righteousness, I will certainly repay Friend Lu in the future."

She solemnly promised.

"How about this, Fellow Ye, as you say, you owe Lu Mou a favor."

"Lu Mou has no other requests, only wishing Fellow Ye to bring forth a high-grade Spiritual Plant as a gift."

"Fifth-grade or sixth-grade will do, but it must certainly be a rare species in the world."

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and then said slowly.

"Alright! Ye Mou will definitely bring a high-grade rare Spiritual Seed to Friend Lu."

Ye Xuanyin made a vow with her Heart Demon and took her leave.

Less than ten days after her departure, the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect successfully broke through to the fifth rank.

Being a rare strange species of poisonous insect, it had decent potential to begin with. After absorbing a large amount of Evil Demon Strange Poison, its breakthrough to the fifth rank was naturally just a matter of course.

Lu Xuan also seized the opportunity to earn another light cluster reward, and upon touching the light cluster, he obtained the lower part of "The Disaster Poison Scripture".

He had acquired the upper part when the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect broke through to the fourth rank and had always kept it inside his storage bag without taking the time to study it in detail.

The complete "Disaster Poison Scripture", a sixth-grade treasure, was compiled and refined by a Primordial Infant True Monarch from the Sect of Evil Infants who was skilled in the use of poison.

It detailed thousands of poisonous insects and poisons, methods of detoxifying, and several secret techniques closely related to poison, even including a method to refine a highly toxic magic treasure.

"It’s a pity that it’s just a low-grade magical treasure, but it’s still worth a try."

Lu Xuan glanced over the method for refining a magic treasure named Hundred Poison Cold Radiance Barrier and muttered to himself.

"Having broken through to the late stage of Core Formation for two and a half years, it’s time to inquire about the Incomplete Cave Heaven promised by the senior Instrument Spirit."

The thought flashed through his mind, and he sent a Communication Talisman to Zhang Jiuzong, asking him to pass on a message that he wished to see the senior Instrument Spirit.

The Pagoda Instrument Spirit, always elusive, could be contacted by only a few high-ranking officials of the Commerce Association.

Soon, Zhang Jiuzong had a reply, instructing Lu Xuan to wait at the Plucking Stars Commerce Association Subdivision in three days. @@novelbin@@

Lu Xuan, without doubt, left the Thunderfire Asterism Cave and entered the Star Plucking Building.

Not long after arriving at the Commerce Association Subdivision, as Lu Xuan was waiting in a refined room, he suddenly looked up towards a certain direction.

A treasure light shot out from a void rift like lightning, falling before Lu Xuan.

The familiar figure of the Artifact Spirit appeared.

A sharp head, and the further down the body, the rounder it became, resembling a flowing pagoda.

"I pay my respects to Senior Instrument Spirit."

Lu Xuan respectfully offered his greetings.

"Enough, enough, no need for all these cumbersome formalities,"

the Artifact Spirit said somewhat impatiently.

"Out with it, what do you need? I’m busy organizing an auction of Evil Demon materials. If this isn’t important, I might just get angry."

The Pagoda Instrument Spirit, hands on hips, unconsciously slid down, snorted, and spoke.

"An auction of Evil Demon materials? Are there any related Spiritual Seeds?"

"There are a few, just come over and see when the time comes,"

the Artifact Spirit said, waving its hand with a hint of impatience.

Suddenly, it paused, fixing its gaze on Lu Xuan.

"Late stage of Core Formation..."

"You, kiddo, are cultivating at quite the pace!" the Artifact Spirit remarked.

It seemed to recall that it was not too long ago that Lu Xuan had broken through to the mid-term of Nascent Soul stage.

"Hehe, just a bit of a fortuitous encounter paired with good luck allowed me to make a breakthrough,"

Lu Xuan said with an embarrassed smile, glossing over his own experiences in one sentence.

"Well, it seems your fortune is rather profound,"

the Artifact Spirit said in its crisp voice.

As a High Rank Magical Treasure Instrument Spirit that frequently traveled between the heavens, it had encountered countless fortuitous treasures and wasn’t particularly interested in a Jindan Cultivator’s tale of fortune.

Moreover, as Lu Xuan was a Guest Elder of the commerce association it had founded and someone it quite fancied, it didn’t take it too seriously.

"Senior… about that Incomplete Cave Heaven you mentioned before..."

Lu Xuan said, his face brimming with flattery.

"Ah, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost would’ve forgotten!"

The Artifact Spirit extended a small wooden hand and forcefully tapped its pointed head.

"Rest assured, what I promised you is yours. I am still counting on you to cultivate some Spirit Plants for me!"

It consoled Lu Xuan.

"However, to obtain that Incomplete Cave Heaven, it comes down to whether your strength is sufficient or not."

"Please speak, Senior. Perhaps I can give it a try,"

Lu Xuan said earnestly and seriously.

"To enter the Incomplete Cave Heaven, you will face winds, Yin Thunder, and heavenly fires in the Void, requiring a strong flesh body to safely get through these trials."

Lu Xuan nodded lightly.

"I have the Seventh Grade Glazed Red Phoenix Bone and Sixth Grade Tai Sui Meat, along with countless Spirit Fruit Spirit Brews that have enhanced my flesh body strength; there should be no issues."

"In addition, due to numerous space rifts in the Void, it’s impossible to use a Teleportation Array to reach the Incomplete Cave Heaven, so one must fly there, necessitating extremely fast speed, profound spiritual power, and sufficient endurance."

"With the boost from Scolding Thunder Wing, my speed can surpass that of my fellow Golden Core Cultivators—I doubt there are many who can match me."

"As for endurance... the Five Viscera Cultivation Temple has fully integrated into my body. I still don’t know my own limits, but that should pose no problem."

"Furthermore, the Void is filled with space rifts, and there are various mysterious Star Beasts hidden within stars, and even Evil Demons lurking about."

"Hence, one requires extremely powerful Spiritual Sense to detect them early on and avoid risks."

"I practice the ’Starlitting Thought’ and am constantly nourished by ’The Scroll of the Hidden Spirit.’ My Spiritual Sense is among the top for same-level cultivators. The Void Nightmare Eye can exert its surveillance capabilities even more in its element, so detecting them should not be a problem either."

Lu Xuan said to himself inwardly.

"As for the inevitable clash with Star Beasts or Evil Demons..."

"Lu Mouren here still possesses several Treasure Items for self-defense."

"So, all is ready save for the Cave Heaven itself."
