You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 824: Path Fruit

“Many thanks to the senior and Shen Chan for bestowing me with such a precious treasure.”

Lu Xuan spoke with a reverent demeanor, bowing as he spoke.

“To come across this Seventh Grade Spirit Seed by fortune, is the utmost honor for me as a junior.”

His tone carried a touch of embarrassment, as if he felt undeserving of this Seventh Grade Spirit Seed.

“There’s no need for that. If you have obtained this Twin Birth White Lotus Spirit Seed, it is your own opportunity.”

“My spirit beast is not so easy to deal with.”

Thunderfire True Monarch revealed a slight smile.

The giant toad, known as Treasure Devouring, usually only takes in and never releases. To obtain some high-rank treasure from it, even as its master, he did not find it easy.

“A Seventh Grade Spirit Seed already falls within the realm of Nascent Soul. You must take good care of it.”

Thunderfire True Monarch added as a reminder.

“Senior, rest assured, within my capabilities, I will definitely preserve this Spirit Seed. If it exceeds my ability, then I will seek assistance from the commerce association in due course.”

Lu Xuan was still fairly confident in his current strength.

“By the way, senior Thunderfire, regarding this Seventh Grade Twin Birth White Lotus, could you elucidate further for this junior?”

He aptly made an impression of one who was humbly eager to learn.

After all, this was a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, which a Spirit Plant Master like him, of loose cultivator background, would not normally be privy to its many distinctive features—inquiring about it seemed only proper.

“The Spirit Seed is called Twin Birth White Lotus, which according to legends is a Path Fruit, a derivative of the fabled Taiyi Divine Lotus. It requires the warmth and nourishment of the cultivator’s intention to cultivate, and once mature, it can yield a divinely extraordinary spiritual body.”

“Path Fruit?”

Lu Xuan’s expression became one of surprise.

“Path Fruit is a legendary Spirit Plant within the Cultivation World, its seeds known as Path Seeds, containing profound meanings of the Great Dao, only accessible to the greatest sect aristocratic families.”

“It transcends the limitations of ordinary spirit plants, no longer requiring planting in common spirit fields, but in the void, or Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, or within the bodies of great beings.”

“The nutrients for cultivating a Path Fruit are not merely spirit aura and spirit soil; luck, incense flame, fate, the rhythm of the Dao… all of these can be used to nourish and cultivate a Path Fruit.”

Thunderfire True Monarch transmitted to Lu Xuan.@@novelbin@@

“Path Fruit…”

Lu Xuan murmured to himself, his mind full of longing.

“I wonder if I’ll have the chance to acquire one or two Path Seeds, what kind of reward would I reap if I cultivated them, what grade of light cluster?”

To think that the casual divergence of a Path Fruit would result in a Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, the nature of the original form was even more unimaginable.

“Taiyi Divine Lotus…”

Lu Xuan silently admired the thought.

Several Nascent Soul True Monarchs intervened, and the crowd that had been agitated by the emergence of the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed immediately quieted down, suppressing various thoughts in their hearts.

The support of Lord Thunderfire Star, and the stance of the Head of the Sea Tower Trade Association’s Mu Family—two great Nascent Soul True Monarchs—had a significant deterrent effect on the other cultivators.

As the lottery opportunity ended, people took their leave from Thunderfire True Monarch one after another.

Lu Xuan naturally left with Ye Xuanyin and a few others.

He had been acquainted with them for several decades, relations that were fairly good, and could be considered somewhat trustworthy.

After obtaining that Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, if he returned to his cave abode alone, he could likely attract unnecessary troubles.

As for Ye Xuanyin and the rest, if they sought to harm him, ordinary early or middle-stage Core Formation cultivators were not deemed a threat in Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“Friend Lu, congratulations on obtaining such a precious treasure.”

“The top prize was drawn by you, Friend Lu. I’m so envious I nearly suffered a soul dislocation on the spot.”

“Absolutely, absolutely, I wish I could have taken your place!!!”

Just thinking about how easily Lu Xuan had obtained that Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, their mental balance was instantly thrown off.

“Perhaps it’s because I often deal with spirit beasts, that Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad took a liking to me?”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“If only I had gotten some thunder spirit fruits from you earlier, Lu Xuan. With some luck, I might have obtained one or two high-rank treasures.”

“Never mind Seventh Grade, fifth-grade and sixth-grade wouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Who would have thought that a Seventh Grade spirit beast would have such a preference?”

“It let Friend Lu hit the jackpot.”

“Unfortunately, even if we go back and prepare the thunder spirit fruits, who knows when we’ll next get the chance to beseech the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad for treasures. We can’t possibly wait for the Thunderfire True Monarch’s two-thousand-year birthday, can we?”

A cultivator said with a wry smile.

“My fellow cultivators needn’t be so concerned. After we pass by my cave mansion, we’ll stop by for a visit and there will be plenty of spirit brew for all.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“Good, we were waiting for that exact offer from you, Friend Lu. We must drink a few more cups of Ape Demon Wine to balance our hearts.”

An early Core Formation stage elder said through gritted teeth.

“Haha, let’s not return until we’re drunk.”

Lu Xuan laughed heartily.

Among treasures of the same level, because spirit seeds have a long cultivation period and high difficulty, they are considered the least valuable.

Therefore, even though several people envied and were jealous of Lu Xuan’s acquisition of the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, they managed to suppress their greedy thoughts and were just looking for an excuse to let off some steam.

Moreover, it was hardly a coincidence that these individuals didn’t entertain the notion of killing to take the treasure. Even if, by some stroke of luck, they obtained the spirit seed and divided it, its value might only be equivalent to that of a decent Sixth Grade magical instrument. It was not worth the risk.

Furthermore, Ye Xuanyin and the others were well aware that Lu Xuan’s cave mansion was protected by a Sixth Grade array, and entering the cave might be like inviting a wolf into the house—it could also turn into a situation of catching turtles in a jar, with unpredictable consequences.

Lu Xuan and several companions rode on the sword light and soon returned to the cave mansion.

He brought out the last of his Ape Demon Wine and poured several cups for each cultivator. Along with spirit fruits and demon beast meat cooked with his unique technique, the feast was no less sumptuous than the Thunderfire True Monarch’s birthday celebration.

With their bellies full and slightly tipsy, Ye Xuanyin and the others said their farewells to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan saw them out of the cave mansion. Once their figures had completely disappeared, he swept the surroundings with his spiritual sense and, detecting no abnormalities, he activated the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array and went to the core spirit field.

With a thought, the structure of the spirit soil subtly changed, and a crack appeared.

He took out the Twin Birth White Lotus Spirit Seed and carefully placed it into the crack.

Then, focusing his mind on the spirit seed in the shallow layer of the spirit soil, he immediately obtained detailed information about the seed.

[Twin Birth White Lotus, Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, rumored to be a derivative of the legendary Taiyi Divine Lotus. It requires nourishment from a large amount of high-rank Spiritual Spring during its growth, along with long-term mental communication and cultivation. Once mature, it naturally forms a spiritual body that can be used to refine a cloning body for housing the divine soul.]

[The refined cloning body is in complete harmony with the cultivator’s intentions, lacking soul and bones, blood and flesh, thereby immune to various soul-capturing and spirit-snatching divine skills and magic treasures. Incapable of sickness, it can avoid disasters and solve difficulties, with many wondrous uses.]

[One with dual life, you within me, and I within you.]

“This Twin Birth White Lotus and that lotus used for refining Nezha’s flesh body indeed share a curious similarity in their peculiarities,”

Lu Xuan mused, withdrawing his thoughts.

“If the body refined from the Holy Baby Fruit is considered a lower-tier clone, then the one refined from this mature Seventh Grade Twin Birth White Lotus would be the higher-tier version.”

“Not only is it in sync with the original body, it’s also immune to soul and spirit attacks, with many wondrous uses.”

He thought to himself.
