You Cultivate, I Farm

He took out several treasure items that were extremely suitable for Chen Qingshuang, who was still in the mid-term phase of Foundation Establishment.

Not only would they play a significant role in her future path of cultivation, but they would also prevent some unnecessary troubles.

He had many treasures of fifth rank or even higher on him, but if he gave them to Chen Qingshuang, it might seem like he was offering unsolicited favors. He could only wait until they knew each other better before giving them at the right opportunity to slowly gain the trust of this descendant of the Chen family.

“The Nascent Soul Sword Essence in Heart Sword Lake is not so easy to obtain.”

He sighed softly in his heart.

Chen Qingshuang could not refuse and had to accept the treasure items.

She felt a deep gratitude towards Lu Xuan.

Each of the items was considered rare and unusual among treasures of the same rank, and even the Sword Talisman and the Dust Removal Pill were not necessarily purchasable even if one had enough Spirit Stones.

“Thank you, Uncle Lu!”

“There’s no need to thank me, this little favor is what I ought to do.”

“I hold some status at Huanzhen Sword Peak, if you need help in the future, you can use this Communication Talisman to find me.”

Lu Xuan instructed as he handed a Communication Talisman to Chen Qingshuang.

“Understood.”

Chen Qingshuang took the talisman with both hands and carefully placed it into her storage bag.

Lu Xuan did not stay longer and took his leave.

“I don’t know how to resolve the obsession in that Sword Essence’s heart; I can only start by making friends with a descendant from the Chen family and then slowly devise a plan.”

He flew on his sword towards the Sword Palace, contemplating in his heart.

Last time, after entering Heart Sword Lake, he unexpectedly obtained some Shadow Stones, which he exchanged for quite a few Sword Imprints. Naturally, he intended to make good use of them to see if he could find the Spirit Seed he desired.

Inside the Spiritual Plant Hall of the Sword Palace, with his previous experience, he very familiarly came to those few white jade steles to search for those rare and unusual high-rank Spirit Seeds.

“It’s a pity that the Seventh Grade Spirit Seeds are extremely limited in number, and with the few that are available, I am not qualified to acquire them.”

Lu Xuan looked covetously at the numerous Spirit Seeds in the stele, sighing in his heart.

“It seems that I will need to focus more on improving Sword Grass in the future. If I could develop one or two new varieties of fourth-grade Sword Grass or even fifth-grade Sword Grass, then I probably wouldn’t need to ask, and the True Sword Master would personally deliver those Seventh Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds to me.”

“I can only strain the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath a bit, letting it nourish the Sword Grass Spirit Seed more for some time, and spend less time flirting with those big and small flying swords.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself as he approached the steles that listed other than Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.

He directly skipped over those lower-rank Spirit Seeds, focusing mainly on the fifth and sixth-grade Seeds, especially those rare and unusual varieties.

“Eh? There are actually two Sky Origin Fruit Spirit Seeds this time?”

Lu Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

He had a deep impression of this sixth-grade Spiritual Plant. Previously, when the Thunder Behemoth clan faced a crisis and their territory’s guardian, the Green Horn Thunder Son, was close to its end and its combat strength severely weakened.

Lu Xuan, who had received quite a lot of care from the Thunder Behemoth clan and the Green Horn Thunder Son, used the Plant Spirit Aura transformed in the Divine Wood Green Pot for the first time on a large scale to hasten the ripening of the Sky Origin Fruit, which could extend one’s lifespan, and obtained the Seventh Grade Core Pill, the Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill.

After ingesting the Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill and the Sky Origin Fruit, the Green Horn Thunder Son returned to its peak strength and singlehandedly repelled three Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were besieging the Thunder Behemoths’ territory.

Afterward, to express their gratitude, they took Lu Xuan to sweep through the Ancient Herb Garden they had previously entered, transplanting the E-Mu Green Thunder Vine to his Cave Abode, and obtained a Seventh Grade Light Fairy Feather Spirit Seed.

“Spirit fruits and elixirs that can extend lifespan are not commonly seen. I must secure these two Sky Origin Fruit Spirit Seeds.”

Lu Xuan marked the two Spirit Seeds within the white jade stele.

Such Spirit Seeds could easily be snatched away by other Spirit Plant Masters if one wasn’t careful; stumbling upon them was already quite fortunate.

Among the countless Spiritual Plants he had cultivated, only two could extend lifespan so far, one being the Five-Grade Strange Life-Longevity Peach, and the other was the Sixth Grade Sky Origin Fruit he was looking at now.

Among them, the Strange Longevity Peach even possesses some sinister effects; consumption might lead to negative side effects.

“Sixth Grade Sky Origin Fruit, if I can cultivate the Turtle Crane Vital Pill Recipe, or even a Pill Formula Experience Package, then that would be a huge profit.”

“Hereafter, with this Seventh Grade Life Extension Spiritual Fruit, it could bring numerous treasures and spirit stones.”

In the Cultivation World, the treasures that can add to one’s lifespan aren’t plentiful, and those effective for Core Formation and even Nascent Soul cultivators are even fewer and far between.

If I really managed to acquire the Turtle Crane Vital Pill Recipe and the Experience Package, just a few batches would bring Lu Xuan a massive amount of spirit stones.

“Keep in mind that the higher the cultivation realm, the greater the fear of death.”

“And in the Cultivation World, Nascent Soul True Monarchs or Ancient Exotic Beasts whose lives are near their end, even if they have thousands or even tens of thousands of years of lifespan left, as long as they haven’t attained immortality, there will always be a day when their lifespan runs out.”

“At that stage, they become the most terrifying. To seize a slim chance of altering their fates, they’re willing to risk their lives and pay any price.”

“Of course, that includes any treasure.”

Lu Xuan felt he had discovered an alternative way to make a fortune.

Those Nascent Soul True Monarchs or Ancient Exotic Beasts nearing their limits would become his primary targets for exchange.

“For a piece of Life Extension Spiritual Fruit or a Life Prolonging Spirit Pill, it’s worth it to trade one or two high-grade spirit seeds.”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this idea had great potential.

“Lu Mou isn’t just after spirit seeds. I just want to show some extra care to those Nascent Soul elders and ancient demon beasts who are nearing the end of their lives in the Cultivation World.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

“Lu Mou not only cares for young beasts but also respects the elders. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I advocate respect for the elderly and love for the young.”

“Truly a great kind-hearted person, that is Lu.”

He approached a deacon responsible for the trading of spirit seeds in the Spiritual Plant Hall.

“May I ask, brother, how much are those two Sky Origin Fruit Spirit Seeds selling for?”

Lu Xuan asked a lean old man.

“Turns out it’s Junior Brother Lu, today must be a day fated for us to meet.”

The old man smiled, seemingly quite familiar with Lu Xuan.

He paused for a moment, then continued.

“These Sky Origin Fruits that Junior Brother Lu is interested in are rare life-prolonging spiritual plants. Each Spirit Seed will cost one thousand four hundred sword imprints.”

“One thousand four hundred sword imprints… that’s even more expensive than the Star Shifting Sun and Moon Sword Grass Spirit Seed.”

Lu Xuan marveled silently.

“However, there’s a reason for the high price. Once matured, any treasure that comes out of the light cluster will make back several times the investment, and if there’s a Turtle Crane Vital Pill Recipe Experience Package, it will be a windfall.”

Without any hesitation, he took out two thousand eight hundred sword imprints and presented them to the old man.

“Please, brother, could you count the number of sword imprints?”

“Sure.”

The lean old man nodded gently, confirmed the sword imprints were correct, and then went deep into the Spiritual Plant Hall.

Lu Xuan waited patiently and in a short while, the old man came back holding a jade tray.

On the jade tray, two creamy white spirit seeds lay quietly, surrounded by thick fog, apparently formed from the dense primordial qi escaping from the seeds themselves.

“Junior Brother Lu, these are the Sky Origin Fruit Spirit Seeds.”

Having previous planting experience, Lu Xuan was already familiar with the Sky Origin Fruit Spirit Seeds, but still carefully checked them again out of caution. Once he was sure they were correct, he promptly stored them in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
