You Cultivate, I Farm

“Innate Spirit Root?”

Lu Xuan murmured to himself, and although he had been prepared in his heart, the mention of the Innate Spirit Root from the Old Sword Serpent’s mouth still brought an incredulous look to his face.

He had cultivated countless Spirit Plants, and while there were quite a few Seventh Grade ones, Eighth Grade plants were rare, only such as the Nine True Spirit Leaves entrusted to him for cultivation by the Artifact Spirit of the Commerce Association.

As for Innate Spirit Roots and Path Fruits, he didn’t even dare to dream of having the chance to cultivate them.

“Don’t get too excited so soon.”

Seeing that Lu Xuan was losing control of his emotions, the Old Sword Serpent immediately threw cold water on his excitement.

“It’s as hard as climbing to heaven to nurture an Innate Spirit Root into existence. Only by seizing the creation of heaven and earth might it be possible to give birth to one. Even in the Sword Sect, there is no such supreme treasure item.”

“The section of Innate Spirit Root I have is called the Celestial Veil Vine, rumored to be nourished by the Cave Heaven Origin and connected to the great Dao of space, containing many wondrous functions.”

“Unfortunately, it is just a section, and due to some reasons, all of its vitality has already been lost.”

As the Old Sword Serpent spoke, he exhaled a light cluster brimming with rosy glow.

When the brilliance receded, a section of a withered, deep vine appeared before Lu Xuan.

The vine was less than two feet long, looking extremely dried up, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to overlap with the space behind it, which was quite magical.

“This section of the Celestial Veil Vine has lost all its vitality, leaving only a shell behind, roughly equivalent to a rare Sixth Grade treasure item. It’s just the right fit for you at your Golden Core Late Stage.”

The mysterious withered vine seemed to cross space instantly, appearing before Lu Xuan.

“Thank you, Senior, for bestowing such a precious treasure on this junior.”

Lu Xuan bent deeply in gratitude.

Not to mention the intrinsic rare value of the dried Celestial Veil Vine itself, it possessed additional significance for him.

With his special ability, he could discern the detailed information about this dried vine.

Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance of successfully cultivating it, it would be of incomparable value to Lu Xuan.

Thinking of this, his heart surged with heat.

“After feeding so much True Sword Elixir, today I finally see some return.”

“From now on, whatever Sword Aura Elixirs you Old Sword Serpent need, I will take care of it.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself as he respectfully took his leave from the Old Sword Serpent.

After emerging from within the Sword Peak, his movements immediately quickened several fold.

“Old…”

Before the greeting from the Little White Ape could be uttered, Lu Xuan had already arrived at the Spirit Field, leaving the baffled Little White Ape at the entrance to the Cave Abode.

Lu Xuan approached a plot within the Spirit Field that was surrounded by the richest and purest Spiritual Energy, taking out the withered, deep vine.

The vine had transparent spatial ripples in concentric circles, seemingly capable of shattering the void at any moment.

Holding his breath, he planted the withered vine into the Spirit Soil.

Then he softly allowed his mind to settle upon the vine.

For a long while, no thoughts emerged in his mind.

“It can’t be planted?”

Since the expected Spirit Plant information did not appear in his Sea of Consciousness, Lu Xuan was somewhat puzzled as he retrieved the withered vine.

“Or perhaps it requires some special condition to be met? Otherwise, the planting procedure isn’t considered complete.”

He speculated in secret.

Considering the rumored Innate Spirit Root, if it couldn’t be cultivated, he guessed that he would be restless for a long time to come.

“Back in the days, I obtained an Innate Spirit Root…”

Perhaps in hundreds or thousands of years later, this regret would grow even deeper with the passage of time.

“The vitality of the immortal vine has completely drained away, I wonder if there is any way to nourish even a trace…”

“Even if there’s a slight chance of cultivation, I can apply the remedy and bring it to maturity.”

“If the vitality has dissipated…”

A small green pot appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.

“The Divine Wood Green Pot has stored so much plant spirit aura over the years, its vitality is several times more concentrated than the Qingmu Origin Energy in my dantian. Maybe it can have some effect.”

Concerning the key to whether the Celestial Veil Vine could be cultivated or not, he decided to take a daring gamble.

Instantly, a large expanse of green spirit power gushed out from the spout of the pot, continuously seeping into the withered vine.

As time flowed on, the plant spirit aura in the green pot visibly decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye, yet the withered vine remained motionless.

“If it can absorb plant spirit aura, that means there’s hope.”

Lu Xuan was immensely patient, channeling the green plant spirit aura persistently into the vine.

“Hmm?”

After a little more than a time system, when Lu Xuan’s consciousness once again converged on the vine, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

“[Celestial Veil Vine, innate spirit root, must be planted within a Cave Heaven, using the Cave Heaven Origin as nutrients, growing within the void. Once mature, the immortal vine contains the power of the spatial path, enabling one to travel effortlessly through the Whole Sky Realm by leveraging the vine’s divine peculiarities, and also to comprehend middle-rank to high-rank spatial divine abilities.]”

“[Due to the exhaustion of vitality, the immortal vine is in an abnormal state and needs to be soaked in a concentration of life essence no less than seventh grade for many years. Afterwards, it must be nourished over a long duration with a wood-related treasure to restore its vitality before it can begin to be cultivated.]”

“Celestial Veil Vine! Innate spirit root!”

“If it can be cultivated, obtaining the light cluster, that would be the ultimate satisfaction for any Spirit Plant Master.”

Lu Xuan was filled with myriad emotions.

“The only pity is that the difficulty of cultivation is too high.”

He’d spent over half of the plant spirit aura in the Divine Wood Green Pot, just to bring a hint of vitality back to that section of the immortal vine.

Yet this was still far from enough. To cultivate this segment of the innate spirit root, it needed to be soaked in a seventh-grade life essence rich spiritual liquid and tended with a wood element treasure over many years before it even qualified for cultivation.

“To other Nascent Soul True Monarchs and even Great Deities of the Spirit Transformation, first, it is very hard to rejuvenate the life of this withered immortal vine.”

“The second difficulty is understanding how to restore it to normal so it can be cultivated again.”

“As for the later cultivation methods and conditions, there’s no need to mention how challenging they are.”

“But it’s different for me.”

“After obtaining this withered innate spirit root, I can use that special ability to understand the preconditions for its cultivation.”

“Most importantly, the rewards of the light cluster that emerges upon maturity are so great that any price paid beforehand would be worth it.”

Lu Xuan could hardly imagine the generous rewards of the light cluster that the Celestial Veil Vine would produce upon maturation.

“It must be planted!”

This thought echoed continuously within his heart.

With his current cultivation realm, he couldn’t even touch upon legendary spiritual seeds like innate spirit roots and path fruits. Having obtained this withered Celestial Veil Vine was already incredibly fortuitous.

Who knew how many years it would take to come across such an opportunity again?

Therefore, even if revitalizing this segment of the vine required an enormous expenditure of treasure items and energy, Lu Xuan found it sweet as honey.

“I need to collect some seventh-grade life essence rich spiritual liquid and wood-related treasures.”

He thought to himself.

Both items were extremely rare and precious, especially the seventh-grade spiritual liquid, which was specifically required to be life essence rich, significantly narrowing the scope of the search.

However, with the backing of the colossal Dongxuan Sword Sect and the help of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, the difficulty of the search significantly decreased.
