You Cultivate, I Farm

Lu Xuan had long suspected that after harvesting the Fifth Grade Origin Spirit Ginseng, there was a good chance of receiving a reward in Spiritual Power Cultivation.

Yet, when a fifty-year cultivation reward emerged from the White Light Group, it still greatly exceeded his expectations.

It was indeed too much.

A common Third Rank Ice Glowworm Grass had a certain chance to provide a three-year cultivation reward, while “Good Quality” ones could grant five years.

One Fifth Grade Origin Spirit Ginseng was worth more than ten Ice Glowworm Grasses, which filled his heart with immense joy.

“Nearly a hundred years of cultivation gained in a single day.”

“This is the hallmark of a cultivation genius!”.

Lu Xuan thought proudly to himself.

In less than a moment, he had successfully transformed a large amount of Spiritual Power, integrating it all into the Qi Sea within his Dantian.

A hundred years of cultivation sounded intimidating, but with his current innate talent, a hundred years of his cultivation couldn’t compare to those true cultivation geniuses.

Nevertheless, he was already very satisfied.

If it weren’t for the emergence of the White Light Group, with his cultivation talent, he might never have broken through the Foundation Establishment Realm in his entire life, and it would have been quite good to end up an old man in the Qi Cultivation Realm.

After refining the Glazed Red Phoenix Bone and consuming many Spirit Fruits that improved his innate talent, his physical constitution improved.

However, since his innate potential was limited, he only managed to raise his mediocre talent to the level of an ordinary genius.

But the Cultivation World is never short of geniuses.

Those who have entered the Great Sect for cultivation are all once-in-a-hundred-years or even once-in-a-thousand-years geniuses.

Yet among the multitude of geniuses, only a few manage to break through to the Condensing Pill Realm.

After becoming Golden Core Real People, every minor realm is a significant obstacle.

For those with outstanding talents from Major Sect Disciples, even they couldn’t guarantee a smooth promotion to Golden Core Completion within a hundred years.

Only those favored children of heaven with great opportunities and fortunes could by chance breakthrough, catching a glimpse of the possibility to reach the Nascent Soul.

Lu Xuan, having not yet lived a century, had already cultivated to the Golden Core Late Stage and could even consider his journey smooth all the way to the Nascent Soul.

Such a pace of cultivation, compared to those with Innate Spiritual Bodies or even those who are reincarnations of Great Powers, wasn’t the slightest bit inferior.

“There’s no need to worry too much about cultivation until reaching the Nascent Soul.”

“However, once I truly become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the rewards for cultivation granted by the Origin Spirit Ginseng are likely to greatly diminish.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Having the Ice Glowworm Grass as a prior example, he had been looking forward to the Light Group rewards that would emerge when the Origin Spirit Ginseng matured.

When there’s a significant discrepancy between the rank of the Spirit Plants planted and one’s own cultivation level, the cultivation reward obtained decreases drastically.

He remembered that in the Foundation Establishment Realm, a common Third-grade Ice Glowworm Grass could provide ten years of cultivation reward, but after breaking through to the Condensing Pill Realm, it dropped to three years.

Besides, it was very possible to obtain other treasures from the Light Group as well.

Upon this thought, Lu Xuan suddenly felt much calmer.

“Let’s talk about the matters after reaching the Nascent Soul later, the urgent priority is to plant as many Origin Spirit Ginsengs as possible.”

“As long as I harvest enough Light Clusters, breaking through to the Nascent Soul will be within easy reach.”

He looked at the lone Origin Spirit Ginseng in the Spirit Field, suppressing the desire to pick and harvest it.

“Using one Origin Spirit Ginseng for Condensing Seed is a bit slow.”

“I need to see if I can leverage the power of the Commerce Association to collect as many Origin Spirit Ginseng Seeds as possible.”

He had long mastered the Condense Seed Technique for the Origin Spirit Ginseng and had later requested the Commerce Association to collect two seeds for him.

According to Zhang Jiuzong, the Origin Spirit Ginseng could only be produced in small quantities in an Extraterritorial Cave Sky, making it extremely rare.

“That makes sense, high-rank Spirit Plants that can directly enhance Spiritual Power Cultivation are considered priceless treasures among Cultivators,” Lu Xuan mused.

“Although the Commerce Association is vast, it’s unable to display such dominance in the Outer Domains as it does in the Liyang Region, nor is it possible for it to pour too much time and effort into satisfying my demands,” he said.

“Since high-rank Spirit Seeds are usually held by major powers, in some sense, obtaining an Origin Spirit Ginseng is much simpler than acquiring a Spirit Seed,” he said.

“In any case, I can first have the Commerce Association help search for it. If the results are mediocre, then I’ll inquire about the source of the Origin Spirit Ginseng Seeds and make the trip myself,” he mused.

As his cultivation level grew stronger and the rare treasures on his person multiplied, so too did Lu Xuan’s confidence.

He reined in his thoughts and entered a quiet room, taking out the Spirit Ginseng that was almost bursting with energy from the inside out.

“I’ll directly consume it and see what the effects are,” he declared.

He sliced the Spirit Ginseng into several pieces and swallowed a small segment.

No sooner had the Spirit Ginseng entered his stomach than it transformed into a rich surge of energy that rampaged through his body.

Lu Xuan circulated the “Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method”, quickly absorbing the energy and turning it into droplets of pale-green spiritual liquid, which dropped into the Qi Sea in his core field.

He followed the same process and consumed the rest of the Origin Spirit Ginseng.

“The increase in spiritual power is roughly equivalent to a decade of arduous cultivation, which is quite good,” he estimated, comparing the spiritual power that had emerged within his body and muttering to himself.

To other Golden Core Real People, a single Spirit Ginseng equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation would be considered a strange and rare treasure.

Of course, compared to the cultivation Lu Xuan had accrued from the Light Cluster, it wasn’t much at all.

“I wonder what the effects would be if it were refined into an elixir that enhances spiritual power…” he pondered silently, but without the appropriate Elixir Recipe at hand, he didn’t attempt it.

After acquiring an Origin Spirit Ginseng, Lu Xuan spent the following period diligently studying the Condense Seed Technique for Origin Spirit Ginseng.

The condensation method for a Fifth Rank Spirit Plant was extremely complex and profound, and with only one plant available for seed condensation, he naturally had to be extra cautious.

At the same time, he didn’t forget to send a message through Taoist friend Mu to the Sea Tower Commerce Association, asking them to help collect information about the Origin Spirit Ginseng Seeds.

After completing all of this, he devoted his whole mind and body to cultivating spiritual plants.

One day, while inspecting the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan suddenly sensed a slight disturbance within the core Spirit Field.

He transformed into a beam of silvery-white light and in an instant entered the core Spirit Field.

Inside the Thunder Pond, the Thunder Qi churned, and two E-Mu Green Thunder Vines each occupied one side; one was cultivated from a Spiritual Seed, the other transplanted from the Ancient Herb Garden.

Underneath the somewhat smaller Green Vine, a White Light Group quietly appeared.

“Has the E-Mu Green Thunder Vine progressed to a new stage?” Lu Xuan felt elated.

This Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, a yearly species, yielded a Light Cluster at certain growth stages; twenty or thirty years earlier, he had acquired “Divine Cloud True Law” First from it.

Years had passed, and it was time for another harvest.

He held his breath and gently touched the surface of the Light Cluster.

Thousands of tiny light spots flooded into his body.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[The Seventh Grade E-Mu Green Thunder Vine, upon reaching a certain growth stage, yields the supreme law “Divine Cloud True Law” Second.]

With a boom,

In the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, a pale golden thunderbolt struck down, fixing itself in the center of his Sea of Consciousness.

Once bitten, twice shy, Lu Xuan’s Divine Soul tentatively probed into the pale golden lightning.

A torrent of information surged toward him.

[“Divine Cloud True Law”, a supreme law, is the fundamental cultivation method of the Divine Xiao Sect, and the complete method can be practiced up to the Divine Transformation Realm.]

[The Second level can be cultivated till Golden Core Completion and allows the comprehension of Divine Skills, the Golden Thunder Robe.]

[Golden Thunder Robe, which relies on perfectly proficient Thunder Control Method to condense a layer of Thunder Spirit Robe on the body’s surface. It can shield the cultivator’s aura, ward off Divine Soul attacks, and has a natural restraining effect against Monster Demon and Evil Haunted Will. The deeper the cultivation, the stronger the effect of the robe.]
