I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 946: Chapter 944: Returning the Favor, Giving the Elixir

“Huan Zhen Sword Master was truly too generous, right upon my arrival he gifted me with so many Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help feeling emotional.

He had previously cultivated Tier 5 Sword Grass, with a total of just two or three plants, and had not expected that less than a day into joining the Sword Peak, he would receive ten Tier 5 Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.

“With so many Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, the cumulative value is considerable, if one counts the light cluster rewards after cultivation… that would be an unknown profit.”

“Once you, Junior Nephew, are settled down, Sword Peak will, in time, send some high-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds for you to cultivate.”

“You’ll need to work hard for us in the future.”

As Lu Xuan was silently appreciating this, Yuan Rong continued.

“It’s not hard at all, doing a small part for Sword Peak is a matter of course.”

Lu Xuan quickly expressed his stance, reaping the benefits of light clusters was something he couldn’t possibly consider as a hardship.

After giving a few more instructions, Yuan Rong then bid farewell and left.

Lu Xuan went around the cave abode once and then set up a fourth-grade Protective Array he had previously discarded on the outside.

Following that, he went to the back of his cave abode and used the Earth Pulling Technique. Strands of Spirit Soil transformed into earth dragons, surging forth and quickly forming rows of Spirit Fields.

He carefully placed dozens of Sword Grass Spirit Seeds into the Spirit Soil.

With a thought, clouds gathered above the Spirit Fields, and threads of Spirit Rain began to fall, seeping into the Spiritual Seeds.

Lu Xuan flicked his fingers lightly, tiny strands of Sword Qi flitted through like fish, silently merging with the numerous Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.

After a preliminary round of cultivation, he then contently returned to his house.

“It has some advantages to have the support of a great power like Dongxuan Sword Sect, apart from easily obtaining high-grade Spiritual Seeds, at least the cultivation of Spirit Plants can proceed with more peace of mind.”

In the Heavenly Star Cave, although both cave abodes were in safe areas, Lu Xuan always had to be vigilant to prevent any Evil Cultivator or members of the Monster Tribe from infiltrating and affecting the many Spirit Plants inside the cave abode.

In the Dongxuan Sword Sect, however, he had none of these worries.

Evil Cultivators and members of the Monster Tribe invading the Sword Sect? At that time, the entire Cultivation World would probably be finished.

“Next, I need to choose a Core Formation Realm Cultivation Technique as well as Sword techniques.”

“Although I have already cultivated the “Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method” and “Divine Cloud True Law”, with several Sword techniques reaching the Transformation Stage, choosing a Cultivation Technique is still necessary.”

Lu Xuan had already made his choice in his mind.

For the Cultivation Technique, he would pick the follow-up to the previously practiced “Mini Five Elements Power”, “Five Elements Skill”, and for the Sword techniques, he would casually choose two or three suitable for the Cultivation of Sword Grass.

“This Sword Mark is slightly different from the one I had back at the Sky Sword Sect.”

He took out a Sword Mark from his Storage bag.

Compared to the Sky Sword Sect’s Sword Mark, the one in his hand was more exquisite, and the contained Sword Qi was also a few notches stronger.

“As True Uncle-Master said before, these ten thousand Sword Marks can be exchanged for a Seventh Grade Core Pill at the Sect, or a middle-level, slightly lower quality Magical Treasure.”

“Disregarding the internal pricing of the Sect, the purchasing power of a single Sword Mark is about three to four hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

Lu Xuan estimated to himself, again amazed at the Sect’s generosity.

Two days later, just as he had finished cultivating many Sword Grass Spirit Plants, he received an invitation from Ge Pu to go to his cave abode for a small gathering with former fellow disciples from the Sky Sword Sect.

Following the map provided by the Sect, he rode his Flying Sword to Ge Pu’s Mystic Sun Sword Peak.

After sending a Communication Talisman to Ge Pu, in just over ten breaths, Ge Pu flew out from somewhere unknown.

“Junior Brother Lu, please come quickly, a few of the former fellow disciples have already arrived.”

He smiled and said to Lu Xuan,

“Coming here for the first time, I’m a bit unfamiliar with the route and was slightly delayed. I ask for Brother Lu’s forgiveness.”

“Haha, Junior Brother Lu, being a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator and personally recruited by the Sword Master, there’s no need for such formalities,”

Ge Pu teased.

Lu Xuan followed behind him, entering a quiet cave abode.

“Brother Lu.”

“Junior Brother Lu, long time no see!”

“Greetings to Uncle Lu.”

As soon as they entered the courtyard, several extraordinarily poised cultivators rose to their feet and greeted Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan returned the gesture with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces, among which there were two with whom he had a particularly close acquaintance.

“Fire Scale Child pays respects to Uncle Lu.”

A child dressed in a fiery red Daoist robe bowed respectfully.

“There’s no need to be so formal, Elder Brother Huo.”

Lu Xuan quickly took Fire Scale Child’s arms to support him, as among the few fellow disciples in the courtyard, beside Ge Pu, the most familiar one was the boy in front of him.

Back in the Sky Sword Sect, he had received much care from him, and even more so when he was taken into his clan’s territory. Fire Scale Child had also helped him handle an evil cultivator who used the Holy Baby Fruit as bait.

“Sister Wu Xia.”

After chatting with Fire Scale Child for a moment, Lu Xuan approached a cold and aloof woman.

Her hair was held up with a hairpin that twirled elegantly like a swimming dragon, and from the lustrous jade at her earlobes, there hung two small swords that tinkled with the sound of sword chimes as they gently swayed.

“Junior Brother Lu, I didn’t expect you to have cultivated to the Golden Core Late Stage Realm, congratulations.”

The woman was none other than Sword Wu Xia, one of Sky Sword Sect’s authentic teachings, and the two had developed a not-so-shallow friendship over high-rank Sword Grass like the Sword Peacock.

In Lu Xuan’s hand, there was still a stalk of the Bone Slaying Sword Grass that she had entrusted to him for cultivation, and the subsequent gains from the light cluster including the Six-product treasure, Tablet of the Profound Realm, contributed to his considerable achievement in creating a Sword Grass Sword Gourd for her.

Following him, several other fellow disciples, including Shen Ye, arrived at Ge Pu’s cave abode.

Hearing that the most famous Spirit Plant Master within the sect had broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage, everyone, shocked at first, decided to come and celebrate.

After all, as fellow disciples of the Sky Sword Sect and with Lu Xuan’s bright future, they could only hide any jealousy deep in their hearts and come to establish a good rapport.

Ge Pu had already prepared Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew and other delicacies. Knowing well Lu Xuan’s exquisite skill in creating Spirit Brews, he only smiled slightly after Lu Xuan took out a few bottles, not giving it much concern.

Gathered together, they reminisced about the old times in the Sky Sword Sect, and upon mentioning certain amusing incidents, each of them shared a knowing smile.

Among them, Lu Xuan had long-known Shen Ye, Ge Pu, and a few others, while he merely nodded acquaintance with several others.

There were also a few who had not yet broken through to the Core Formation Realm, and their restraint in front of Lu Xuan was clearly visible.

Near the evening, fellow disciples began to bid farewell to Lu Xuan and Ge Pu, inviting Lu Xuan to visit their respective cave abodes.

Lu Xuan agreed to each one, then turned to look at Sword Wu Xia and Fire Scale Child, who still remained in the courtyard, and telepathically said:

“Sister Wu Xia, back at the Sword Hall, you entrusted me with a Tier 5 White Bone Killing Sword Grass and a damaged Sword Peacock for cultivation. I have brought them both to the Sword Sect, and I will give them to you shortly.”

“Elder Brother Huo, please wait a moment later, I have a Core Pill that is quite suitable for you. Seeing you again today means we are fated, so I will gift it to you.”

He had previously cultivated numerous generations of Holy Baby Fruit Plants and obtained several Five-Quality Holy Infant Pills, which were of little use to himself, and so were ideal to give to Fire Scale Child, who was preparing for his breakthrough to Core Formation.
