I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

"At last, I’ve returned to the Thunderfire Star Cave," Lu Xuan sighed as he trudged through the sky scattered with tiny flashes of lightning.

On his journey back from the Incomplete Cave Heaven to the Liyang Region, he hadn’t encountered any danger. The only thing he had faced was the strong wind blowing for a long time, which, given Lu Xuan’s sturdy flesh body, was good for loosening up his muscles.

"Everything is as usual."

A few miles away from the cave abode, Lu Xuan held a pale white flower bud and looked at the images that appeared on its petals, feeling relieved.

After Flower Charm Slave confirmed there were no abnormalities around the cave abode, Lu Xuan felt at ease to approach the outer perimeter of the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array and activate the formation.

"Ao~"

"Roar!"

"Chirrup~"

The moment he stepped into the cave abode, various noises from the Spirit Beasts were heard one after another, never ceasing.

Lu Xuan wished he possessed the Three Heads and Six Arms Divine Ability, so he could soothe all the Spirit Beasts at the same time.

"Come, come, come, I’ve brought you some new delicacies this time, let’s eat your fill," he said with a smile as he took out the processed meat of the Silver Horn Giant Fish.

The silver-white fish meat floated in mid-air, causing many Spirit Beasts to drool with anticipation.

A Silver Horn Giant Fish weighed thousands of catties, and even after removing the part assimilated by the True River’s water, there was still plenty of high-quality Spirit Fish Meat for consumption.

In less than an hour, he managed to cook the Spirit Fish Meat in various different ways, distributing them one by one to the eagerly waiting Spirit Beasts.

After consuming the Silver Horn Giant Fish meat, the breaths of the Spirit Beasts underwent some slight changes.

Among them, the changes in the Thunder Dragon Behemoth and the ghost-like enemy named Thunder were the most noticeable.

The Thunder Dragon Behemoth’s silver white sharp horn was quickly absorbing the diffuse Thunder spirit breath, while the ghost-like enemy named Thunder energetically beat on its large drum-like flesh lumps around its waist, sending thunder echoing throughout the entire cave abode.

Lu Xuan propped his chin with one hand, tilting his head as he watched the Spirit Beasts enjoying the delicious Spirit Fish Meat, a touch of softness in his eyes.

Ever since the ghost-like enemy named Thunder had followed him back to the cave abode, it had gone from initially being distant to now having quite the air of an old butler.

Especially when the Demonic Vine enticed the Little Tree Maiden into the Bewitching Fairy Peach Grove, it always appeared in time with its lips stretched in a mocking smile, preventing the naive Little Tree Maiden from falling into the bewildering sea of desires.

Once the Spirit Beasts were fed and satisfied, the ghost-like enemy named Thunder and the Grass Puppet cleaned up the aftermath together, and Lu Xuan also returned to his room for a rare rest.

Life as a farmer always seemed very short. Day by day, cultivating Spiritual Plants, managing Spirit Beasts, and before he knew it, another month had passed.

During this period, Lu Xuan had stayed in the cave abode every day until Guo Bingqiu, who lived nearby, invited him over for a gathering.

He instructed the Grass Puppet to watch over the cave abode carefully and followed the Sword Light to Guo Bingqiu’s cave abode.

"Fellow Guo, it’s been a while. You seem to be in much better health," Lu Xuan said with a smile as he greeted Guo Bingqiu, who had come out to meet him.

"Haha, Fellow Lu, please come inside quickly. There are a few other fellows who have been waiting for you!" Guo Bingqiu replied with a hearty laugh.

Lu Xuan followed him into the cave abode.

They passed through artificial mountain gardens and arrived at a quiet courtyard.

The people present were all Loose Cultivators from the Thunderfire Star Cave, who all had varying degrees of acquaintance with Lu Xuan, making it easy for him to blend in with everyone there.

"By the way, do any of you know about the upcoming Myriad Spirits Conference by the Liyang Path Sect?" a female Cultivator in the "Early Core Formation stage" suddenly asked after some idle chatter.

"I’ve heard a bit about it."

A gaunt old man nodded slowly.

"The Myriad Spirits Conference is a rare event in the Cultivation World. The Liyang Path Sect holds it only once every hundred years, so if someone has advanced to Core Formation not long ago, they might be unfamiliar with it."

"At that time, the Liyang Path Sect will invite creatures from all over the Whole Sky Realm to attend the event."

"The demon race, Divine and Strange Spirits, Innate Spirit Objects, Buddhist monks, Cultivators from the witch tribe and so on, those who qualify for the Myriad Spirits Conference are without exception the most outstanding talents of the Cultivation World," the gaunt old man elaborated non-stop.

"Fellow Guo, among all the people here, your cultivation level is the highest. Have you received an invitation from the Liyang Taoist Sect?"

The female cultivator turned her head and asked Guo Bingqiu.

"Guo Mou is just a loose cultivator. My cultivation level would not be considered extraordinary even in Heavenly Star Cave."

"Let alone I’m still healing from injuries, even at my peak, the Liyang Daoist Sect wouldn’t spare me a second glance," Guo Bingqiu said with a frank expression.

"That’s true. Not all those sect geniuses are guaranteed an invitation, let alone us loose cultivators. The chance to enter such a grand event is really too slim," Lei Zheng, who once asked Lu Xuan to cultivate the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree, sighed.

Everyone murmured in agreement, long accustomed to the status of loose cultivators.

"Speaking of which, among us here, there is actually one friend who is qualified to enter the Myriad Spirits Conference," Guo Bingqiu said mysteriously.

"Which friend has such ability?"

Someone asked with curiosity.

"Naturally, it’s Lu Xuan, Friend Lu," Guo Bingqiu turned his head to look at Lu Xuan who was tasting spirit fruits in a corner.

Lu Xuan raised his head and smiled at everyone.

"Friend Lu is also a loose cultivator and a Spirit Plant Master."

"Don’t forget, Fellow Lu is also a commerce association guest elder at Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce," someone else chimed in.

"That indeed qualifies him to attend the Myriad Spirits Conference," a cultivator realized.

"Friend Lu, why not clear up the confusion for everyone present? Will you be attending the Myriad Spirits Conference this time?"

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

"I once unexpectedly forged a relationship with Yao Qingyue, the Liyang Principle of the Liyang Taoist Sect. Fellow Yao was passing by to enter the Thunder Sea and took a detour to deliver an invitation to me," he explained briefly.

"The Principle invited you personally?"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

The status of the Principle of the Liyang Taoist Sect was extremely revered, ranking not below some medium and small sect leaders and elders. Every Principle was a favored child of the heavens, nearly stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm.

Yet such an esteemed individual personally invited a loose cultivator, which took everyone by surprise.

"Lu Mou is quite knowledgeable about spirit beasts, which is why I bonded with Liyang’s Principle, Yao Qingyue."

"I am guessing that he is interested in my spirit plant mastery?" Lu Xuan said, smiling.

"That’s right. Looking across the whole Liyang Region, Friend Lu’s level in the path of spiritual plants is indeed one of the top, more than enough to enter the Myriad Spirits Conference," someone voiced after Lu Xuan’s reminder.

"If only I had focused on cultivating spiritual plants earlier."

"Although it’s not as notable as refining instruments, alchemy, or talisman making, if one could achieve a level just slightly below Friend Lu, one would probably also have become a guest elder for Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce and received an invitation from Liyang Daoist Sect," a cultivator expressed regret.

"Indeed, among the hundred arts of cultivation, cultivating spiritual plants is relatively the easiest. If one puts their mind to it, they should not fare too badly," Lu Xuan’s expression remained the same, but he let out a cold laugh in his heart.

"The best time to learn and practice cultivating spiritual plants is during the Qi Cultivation Stage, or now," he continued.

"If there are any friends amongst you who wish to delve into how to cultivate spiritual plants or rear spirit beasts, Lu Mou might be able to offer some small insights."

"With your talents in cultivation, you will surely make rapid progress, and who knows, there may come a day when Lu Mou will need to seek advice from you," Lu Xuan earnestly said.
