You Cultivate, I Farm

After obtaining two Sky Origin Fruit Spiritual Seeds, more than a year had soon passed.

The Cave Abode where Lu Xuan resided had undergone obvious changes compared to when he first started.

The numerous Sword Grass Spirit Plants were thriving with vitality and growing well.

The small Sword Pool that had been opened up was now fully adapted to by the thirty-odd Sword Tassel Fish.

The Sword Qi that seeped out from within their bodies was continuously increasing, slowly nourishing the many Sword Grass plants nearby.

Both of the Sky Origin Fruit Spiritual Seeds had sprouted seedlings, which were about three inches tall, looking like white jade at first glance. A rich Spiritual Energy gathered around, forming milky white Spirit Fog that enshrouded the seedlings.

The previously planted Sixth Grade Star Shifting and Sun Swapping Sword Grass and Azure Profound Wither Bloom Sword Grass were also growing well.

Although the seven pale green Sword Grass plants were only the size of fingers, they seemed to resonate with each other, forming a unified whole. When the subtle Sword Qi circulated within the region around them, it was as if they formed the rudiments of a powerful Sword Array.

Lu Xuan took out a bottle of special Sword Aura Elixir collected from the Heart Sword Lake from his Storage Bag.

With a thought, the Spiritual Liquid instantly divided into threads and strands of Spirit Rain that fell down, seeping into the Sword Grass.

After nourishing the numerous Sword Grasses with the Sword Aura Elixir, Lu Xuan approached the batch of High Rank Sword Grass and carefully cultivated them using the appropriate Sword Techniques and Sword Arrays.

In the year and more, he made another trip to the Sword Palace’s Scripture Treasury Pavilion and acquired the latter parts of the Azure Profound Wither Bloom Sword Array; with the aid of the Clear Sword Heart, he gradually mastered the Sword Array.

With his current level of proficiency with the Sword Array, the early to mid-stage growth of these seven stalks of Azure Profound Wither Bloom Sword Grass was not a problem at all.

“Nearly two years since I returned to the Sword Sect, at last, I can harvest the Light Clusters.”

He arrived at the Spirit Field Area where the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourds were planted.

After deciding to return to the Sword Sect from the Heavenly Star Cave, he transplanted the dozens of stalks of Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd, and that Star Shifting and Sun Swapping Sword Grass from his Cave Abode.

In the better Spiritual Energy environment of the Sword Sect and influenced by the Sword Tassel Fish, the growth cycle of these Fourth Grade Sword Grasses and Sword Gourds had been slightly shortened. Now they had finally all matured.

Over a dozen deep green vines climbed up the cliff face, with numerous Green Marbled Gourds hanging all over, half-hidden.

With the breeze blowing, the gourds gently swayed, and a ringing sword chime could be faintly heard now and again as if sharp Sword Qi might burst out at any moment.

“A total of fifty-four Sword Gourds—keep ten for Condensing Seeds and harvest the rest.”

Lu Xuan transformed into a streak of white light as he weaved through the thick vines, and in the blink of an eye, he had picked all of the mature Sword Gourds, more than forty.

Forty-four White Light Groups quietly emerged, hooked on the vines and emitting a soft white glow.

“Forty-four draws in a row, not too shabby.”

Lu Xuan, quick as lightning, barely brushed past all the Light Clusters, and immediately the dozens of Light Clusters silently shattered, transforming into countless fine points of light that soared into the sky.

Then, myriad points of light converged into long streams of light rivers, flowing into Lu Xuan’s body one after another.

At the same time, a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind like a rapidly scrolling lantern slide show.

“Harvested a Fourth Grade Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd, obtained a Fifth Grade Xuan Yin Sword Talisman.”

“Harvested a Fourth Grade Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd, obtained insights and experience from “Sword Talisman Commentary”.”

“Harvesting…”

One after another, Treasure Items appeared either directly in front of him or emerged deep within his Sea of Consciousness.

From the forty-four White Light Groups, thirty-one Fifth Grade Xuan Yin Sword Talismans and True Evil Sword Charms were produced in total, along with eight threads of Dongxuan Sword Intent, and five insights and Experience Packages from “Sword Talisman Commentary”.

“The success rate and quality of Talisman Making have risen a bit again.”

Lu Xuan absorbed and digested the vast information in his mind, reaching a new Realm in his understanding of Sword Talisman crafting.

“Thirty-one Fifth Grade Sword Talismans, they’ll sell for a considerable amount of Sword Marks.”

He collected all the Sword Talismans contentedly and headed to the Spirit Field Area where the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass was.

The Thousand Thunder Sword Grass grew slightly slower than the Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd, but after Lu Xuan used a small part of the Plant Spirit Aura from the Divine Wood Green Pot, they matured almost at the same time.

The entire Sword Grass Spirit Field was filled with silver-white thunderlight roaming about, emitting crackling sounds.

Lu Xuan’s palm turned into a translucent jade color as he carefully plucked each of the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass.

After leaving some for Condensing Seed, there were forty-two strands of Thousand Thunder Sword Grass remaining.

Forty-two White Light Groups lay quietly in the Spirit Field, flickering gently.

“Time for another forty-odd consecutive draws.”

Lu Xuan never tired of harvesting treasures from the Light Clusters, turning into a streak of silver-white light and touching all the clusters simultaneously.

In an instant, the forty-two White Light Groups shattered together, like a myriad of fireworks bursting into a sky full of tiny light dots.

The light dots rapidly condensed into numerous slender rivers of light that surged into Lu Xuan’s body.

Thoughts passed through his mind.

[Harvested a Fourth Grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, obtained a Fifth Grade Return True Sword Elixir.]

[Harvested a Fourth Grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, obtained a Fifth Grade Treasure Item Thundering Sword Gall.]

[Harvested…]

From the forty-two White Light Groups, a total of nineteen Return True Sword Elixirs, nine Thundering Sword Galls, and seven Return True Sword Elixir recipe Experience Packages bloomed.

“I’ve finally gathered enough for the Sixth Grade Thousand Thunder Sword Array.”

With a thought from Lu Xuan, the eleven previously harvested Silver White Flying Swords flowed out from his sleeves and joined the newly blossomed seven.

He was struck by a moment of good fortune; upon the Sword Array’s completion, he seemed to grasp the essence of the Sixth Grade Thousand Thunder Sword Array. The eighteen Silver White Flying Swords attracted each other’s energy and seamlessly moved together, freely and at will.

With a thought, countless tendrils of lightning burst forth, forming a terrifying Thunder Sea around the center of the Sword Array.

Inside the Thunder Sea lay endless might, and the silver-white light never dimmed, illuminating the entire Cave Abode in bright clarity, seemingly capable of pulverizing anything that entered into dust.

“Sixth Grade Sword Array… indeed extraordinary.”

Lu Xuan got a rough sense of the powerful Thousand Thunder Sword Array, his face revealing a satisfied expression.

Although the might of the Thousand Thunder Sword Array was not as great as the Yin Yang Origin Magnetism Divine Needle and Southern Bright Thunderfire Mirror, two Seventh Grade Treasure Items, it far surpassed most of Lu Xuan’s other techniques.

What was more important, the Sword Array could be maintained for a long time, unlike those two Seventh Grade Treasure Items, which could only burst forth at critical moments.

This time, harvesting so many Light Orb Treasures filled him with joy. After carefully storing them, he took a bottle of Return True Sword Elixir and headed inside Huanzhen Sword Peak.

“It’s time to feed that Old Sword Serpent again.”

Lu Xuan slowly delved deeper.

In these past two years, he regularly brought a bottle of Return True Sword Elixir to the Old Sword Serpent every so often, the cost being no small matter.

However, his long-term investment seemed to be paying off today.

“Have I heard correctly that you’re a Spirit Plant Master?”

The Old Sword Serpent drank down a bottle of silver-grey Sword Elixir and casually asked Lu Xuan.

“Senior, I am indeed a Spirit Plant Master. I specialize in cultivating various Spirit Plants, which is why the Sword Master brought me into the Huanzhen Sword Peak,” Lu Xuan replied, his heart jumping, but he maintained his composure on the surface.

“It’s been hard on you to deliver so many Return True Sword Elixirs all this time.”

“The Sword Elixir within Sword Peak isn’t enough for my consumption; I estimate it’s all brewed by you.”

“I have a piece of nearly completely withered Innate Spirit Root here, it’s useless to keep, so I might as well give it to you.”

The ancient voice of the Old Sword Serpent reached Lu Xuan’s ears.
