You Cultivate, I Farm

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from Senior Brother,” Lu Xuan said with an embarrassed smile.

“It is indeed no small matter, but with Senior Brother Mo’s abilities, it surely won’t be a problem.”

He began with a compliment,

“I want to purchase a Seventh Grade Treasure Item from the Sword Palace, but unfortunately, my Cultivation Realm does not meet the requirements, and my contributions to the Sect are limited, so I can only rely on Senior Brother to acquire the Treasure Item for me.”

“The Sword Marks required for the Treasure Item will be my responsibility,” Lu Xuan said, his expression turning serious.

“A Seventh Grade Treasure Item? Junior Brother Lu, as a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, how can you think of acquiring a Seventh Grade Treasure Item?” Mo Yuanfeng’s expression flashed with a hint of absurdity, this being the first time he had encountered such a request from Lu Xuan.

“Moreover, the Sword Marks needed for a Seventh Grade Treasure Item are not few, are you prepared, Junior Brother?”

“The Sword Marks are sufficient.”

“The last time I entered Heart Sword Lake, I accidentally obtained several Shadow Stones and sold many Sword Marks. Furthermore, the Sword Talismans and Sword Liquids I previously refined for Sword Peak far exceeded the requirements, and I obtained many extra Sword Marks, so acquiring that Seventh Grade Treasure Item should not be a problem.” Lu Xuan explained in detail.

“A batch of Seventh Grade Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk,” Lu Xuan immediately responded, seeing no need to hide it since Mo Yuanfeng’s cooperation was necessary to acquire the Treasure Item.

“The Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk contains immense vitality. I have a High Rank Spirit Seed that is depleted of vitality, and I need the Spirit Milk to restore it.”

“The Spirit Seed that requires Spirit Milk for restoration must be at least of Seventh Grade. The Sword Marks used to obtain the Spirit Milk are more than enough to exchange for a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed; perhaps you should consider this option?” Mo Yuanfeng reminded Lu Xuan.

“I am aware of that,” Lu Xuan paused slightly.

“The reason I urgently desire the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk is because this Seventh Grade Spirit Seed is extremely rare and valuable, and it can greatly assist me in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.” Lu Xuan casually fabricated.

“I see,” Mo Yuanfeng nodded lightly.

“Infant Formation Spirit Objects are rare items in the world, and it’s quite a feat for Junior Brother to have obtained one. No wonder you desire the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk so eagerly.”

“Alright, I will go and exchange the Spirit Milk for Junior Brother,” seeing the dedication Lu Xuan showed in practices such as Spirit Plant cultivation, Spirit Brew preparation, and Talisman Making, which all ranked top within the Huan Zhen Sword Peak, it was natural to do his utmost to fulfill the request of such a rare logistical talent.

Although the idea of exchanging Treasure Items sounded absurd, Mo Yuanfeng did not hesitate further and nodded in agreement.

“Senior Brother Mo, I’ve learned the price of that Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk; here are twenty-one thousand Sword Marks, to be safe. Please exchange them swiftly for Junior Brother,” Lu Xuan instructed gravely as he handed over the required Sword Marks.

“Over twenty thousand Sword Marks, Junior Brother really is willing to invest,” Mo Yuanfeng expressed a trace of surprise.

“It can’t be helped. I’m too obsessed with Spirit Plant cultivation, and that Spirit Seed holds significant importance to me; I have no choice but to spend more Sword Marks,” Lu Xuan said with an inevitable smile.

“Alright, your brother will return shortly and won’t let Junior Brother down,” Mo Yuanfeng smiled, his figure vanishing instantly.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, a shadowy Sword Mountain quietly materialized in the hall, and Mo Yuanfeng subsequently stepped out from the shadow.

“Spirit Milk obtained, mission accomplished,” he declared, holding a bottle of pure white Spirit Milk that immediately captured Lu Xuan’s attention.

The Spirit Milk was extremely thick, and its vitality almost seemed to burst through the bottle, with pure white Spiritual Energy rising and falling inside it, revitalizing anyone who smelled it.

“This is that ten-thousand-year Spirit Milk.”

Mo Yuanfeng said gently.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Mo.”

Lu Xuan took the White Jade Spirit Bottle and once again expressed his gratitude to Mo Yuanfeng.

“There’s no need to be so polite, Junior Brother Lu. Take good care of that Spirit Seed, and I hope you can ascend to the Nascent Soul soon.”

Mo Yuanfeng smiled.

“Alright, I will live up to Senior Brother’s expectations.”

Lu Xuan spoke solemnly and then bid farewell to Mo Yuanfeng.

Upon returning to his cave abode, he took a long, white jade vessel out of the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and then poured the ten-thousand-year Spirit Milk into it.

Pale-white Spiritual Energy rose like smoke, quickly filling the room with vibrant life.

Lu Xuan immediately placed a piece of withered vine into the vessel and sealed it with Prohibitions and Restrictions, then put it back into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

“The needed Seventh Grade Spiritual Liquid, rich with vitality, is settled. Next is the collection of the Wood Element Treasure.”

“Having the Primordial Infant True Monarch purchase Seventh Grade Treasure Items can’t be attempted too often.”

“After many times, it could undoubtedly raise suspicions and might even bring some unnecessary trouble.”

Lu Xuan thought inwardly.

A Golden Core Real Person frequently asking Nascent Soul Cultivators for help in acquiring treasures would run into two significant issues.

First is the origin of the Sword Mark; managing one Seventh Grade Treasure Item might be feasible, but explaining three or five becomes impossible.

Besides, there is the use of the treasures; ordinarily held by Nascent Soul Cultivators, being known to possess more than one Seventh Grade Treasure Item would certainly invite doubt and even covetousness.

“Infusing the Celestial Veil Vine will take quite some time; during this period, I should be able to secure the Wood Element Treasure using my abilities.”

Lu Xuan decided in his heart.

“First, I’ll visit the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce to inquire and meanwhile, go back to reap a large number of Light Cluster rewards.”

“Coming to the Dongxuan Sword Sect for over two years, the Spirit Plants back in my homeland should have matured considerably.”

When he came to the Sword Sect, he only brought Sword Grass and Sword Gourd type Spirit Plants while the rest were left in the Heavenly Star Cave and that Incomplete Secret Realm.

With time passing, whether it was the Thunderfire Star Cave, Abyss Star Cave, or the Incomplete Secret Realm, there should be fully matured Spirit Plants, meaning there were Light Cluster rewards waiting for him to open.

“The freedom inside the Huanzhen Sword Peak is conducive; it’s a good time to go back and reap those Light Clusters and visit old friends.”

As Lu Xuan planned his return to the Cloud Void Domain soon, he shared this news with a few familiar sect mates.

After a bit more preparation over a few days, he decided to set out.

In the courtyard.

“These Spirit Fruits are your snacks for the time I’m gone. Remember to look after the cave abode diligently while I’m away, and don’t let anyone into the Cave Mansion Spirit Field.”

Lu Xuan tossed a pile of Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew to the White Jade Sky Monkey, repeatedly instructing him.

“Master, rest assured, with me here, I won’t let anyone trespass into the cave abode, stepping over the Master’s flowers and herbs.”

The Little White Ape promised passionately, with teary eyes.

“The safety within the Sword Peak isn’t an issue; just treat it as usual.”

Lu Xuan nodded.

“But I can’t bear to be apart from you, Master!”

The Little White Ape wailed.

“Alright, alright. When I come back, I will bring those little fellow Spirit Beasts from the Sky Sword Sect for you all to gather and have a good meetup.”

Lu Xuan comforted him.

“That’s a deal! I want to show them who’s the leader of the Master’s guardian Spirit Beasts.”

The Little White Ape declared spiritedly.
