I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 491: Chapter 489: Rich then Firepower Coverage_1

After crossing the protection array of the Sect, the two entered the monastery.

Immersed in the pure and dense spiritual energy inside the Sect, Lu Xuan’s entire body expanded its pores and couldn’t help but breathe deeply.

“The spiritual energy of the Sect is sweet.”

Returning to the familiar and safe Sect, Lu Xuan completely relaxed and sighed.

“Junior Brother Lu, I am grateful for your help in solving many problems with my clansmen during our trip to the Fire Cloud Cave.”

“If you need anything in the future, feel free to reach out.”

The Fire Scale Child spoke sincerely.

“Elder Brother Huo, you are too polite, as fellow members in the Sect, we should help each other. Furthermore, you’ve taken care of me a lot before, this is something I should do.”

Lu Xuan laughed.

The two bid farewell.

Half a moment later, Lu Xuan returned to his cave dwelling. Upon seeing the familiar Flowing Light Formation outside, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Upon noticing Lu Xuan’s presence, many spirit beasts gathered around him.

“Hmm? Where’s Fat Bird? Sneaking off to date Blue Fur again?”

Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense scanned the whole mountain peak without seeing any trace of the Fat Bird, immediately understanding that it had slipped away again. Inwardly cursing, he decided to punish it with the Qingwei Jade Lock once it returns.

He let the Cloud Leopard and Demonic Vine out of the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, then hurriedly headed to the Spirit Field, taking out the exquisite jade box given as a farewell gift from the Fire Cloud Cave.

Inside the jade box was a low-rank storage bag that held ten bottles of the Flowing Cloud Juice, along with half an acre of Flame Soil.

He chose a plot in his Spirit Field and evenly spread the Flame Soil on the surface of the spirit soil.

After spreading, the light red spirit soil was very eye-catching, clearly contrasting with the surrounding spirit fields.

Faint smoky waves occasionally rose, spreading a slight dry heat around the spirit field.

“It’s a pity the Flame Soil isn’t enough, otherwise I could move the Flaming Fruit over.”

Due to the limited quantity of the Flame Soil, he planned to use it for growing high-rank fire-element spiritual plants in the future.

Conveniently, he had one handy.

He took out a scarlet jade box, gently broke through the simple restrictions outside the box, and was immediately drawn to the spirit seed inside.

Overall, the spirit seed was golden, shallow fiery red patterns were visible on its surface as if flames were about to break out.

It was the fourth-grade Crimson Flame Gourd gifted by the Fire Cloud Cave.

Lu Xuan cast the Earth Pulling Technique, planting the Crimson Flame Gourd in the Flame Soil.

He concentrated his mind on the spirit seed, and instantly, a thought emerged in his mind.

[The Crimson Flame Gourd is a fourth-grade spirit plant, during its growth it autonomously absorbs the fire attribute spiritual power from the surrounding environment, needing fire attribute spirit soil for cultivation and fire spirit nourishment.]

[After the gourd matures, it nurtures a whisk of fourth-grade Red Spirit Flame inside, which can be used to assist cultivation of fire system divine skills, as well as for direct combat.]

[You know you’re playing with fire, right?]

“The Fire Cloud Cave sure is considerate, they gave me the Crimson Flame Gourd spirit seed and some extra Flame Soil so I don’t have to worry about the gourd’s growth.”

Lu Xuan sighed.

“A gourd again and it’s fire attribute, I’m not sure if there’s a chance to collect other types.”

He had developed a unique regard for gourds. The numerous times he had cultivated the Sword Nurturing Gourds were fine, but when he encountered this Crimson Flame Gourd, his sentiments were stirred.

After planting the Crimson Flame Gourd spirit seed, he casually cast a low-rank fire system spell and under the fine control of the Fire Manipulation Secret, the strands of flames turned into silk-like threads and permeated the golden spirit seed from inside.

In his spiritual sense, the light red patterns on the surface of the spiritual seed gently shimmered, seeming to brighten momentarily.

After carefully nurturing it for a while, Lu Xuan inspected various parts of his spirit field, checking the detailed state of various spiritual plants within the spirit field.

After a few days of absence, the numerous spiritual plants in the spirit field were growing well. The newly planted Water Glow Grass and Jade Dew Fruit each sprouted tender buds. One, a delicate light blue and the other, entwined with a clear aura, each radiating strong vitality.

Lu Xuan could not help but crack a slight smile, moved by this vigorous upward force.

The other spiritual plants were also growing well, which relieved Lu Xuan a lot.

Back in his small courtyard, he took out two bottles of Flowing Cloud Juice, summoned all the spirit beasts in the cave with a thought, and took out an Enchanted Immortal Peach and two types of Ice and Fire Spirit Fruits, and evenly divided them.

“This time I went out and brought back new spiritual juice for you. You all should taste it.”

The spirit beasts were eager to drink, and their reviews of the Flowing Cloud Juice were extremely high. Especially Fire Separation Flood Dragon with its fire affinity, upon drinking the Flowing Cloud Juice, its body emitted strands of flames, and it released a pleased growl.

“This is the taste, absolutely refreshing!”

Lu Xuan lay leisurely on a wooden chair, sipping Flowing Cloud Juice at a relaxed pace, and enjoying the warm sensation all over his body, he felt extremely satisfied.

The good mood didn’t last long when his thoughts moved, and he turned his head to look at the courtyard gate.

The fat bird came sneaking in with its pair of broad, light blue wings drooping.

Seeing Lu Xuan looking over, its round stomach jiggled slightly, and it hopped and jumped in front of Lu Xuan, constantly rubbing against his arm.

“You actually remembered to come back?”

Lu Xuan’s mood had improved a bit by the bird’s antics, he let out a cold snort, but still took out a cup of flowing cloud juice and threw it to the Fat Bird Wind Falcon.

A wisp of blackish-green breeze lifted the Flowing Cloud Juice, turning it into a stream that flew into the Fat Bird Wind Falcon’s mouth.

The fat bird closed its small eyes, enjoying the flavor of the Flowing Cloud Juice and its peculiar qualities.

After resting for two days in his cave, Lu Xuan went to the Sect Array Hall. With a hefty amount of spirit stones, he activated the teleportation array to enter the Incomplete Secret Realm.

In the chaos of his consciousness, he landed in the middle of the Secret Realm.

After sweeping with his spiritual sense, his figure turned into a beam of light as he rushed towards the area where the Spiritual Plants were planted.

A few breaths later, Lu Xuan looked at the numerous spiritual plants in front of him with joy.

The third-grade Nurturing Sword Gourds and second-grade Flame Fruits and Ice Luo Fruits that were previously planted in the Secret Realm had fully matured.

Thirteen sword-cultivating gourds, each interconnected by vines, and each having four or five green marbled gourds on them.

The gourds shook slightly, the sword qi inside them roiling, causing resonance in the neighbouring gourds, a continuous sound of sword qi howling emanated.

Underneath the vines, there was a large pile of drained second-hand Sword Artifact Remnants. Under the absorption of the Nurturing Sword Gourds, they were all reduced to scrap iron.

After a sweep of his spiritual sense, there were a total of fifty-seven Nurturing Sword Gourds. Lu Xuan planned to keep ten of them to condense the Nurturing Sword Gourd Spirit Seeds and pick the rest.

After storing forty-seven Nurturing Sword Gourds in his pouch, the quality of these gourds was not bad. The spiritual energy in the Incomplete Secret Realm was better than the inner sect, with more than ten of them being of good quality.

More than forty white light clusters appeared in succession.

“A great harvest of light clusters.”

Lu Xuan sighed, and quickly touched the surface of all the light clusters.

Each of the light clusters exploded, turning into tiny swords formed from numerous converged light dots, and entered Lu Xuan’s body.

[Harvesting one third-grade Nurturing Sword Gourd, got fourth grade Sword Symbols, Roaring Sea Sword Charm.]

[Harvesting…]

Different sword charms quietly appeared before Lu Xuan. For a time, countless tiny sword qi radiated from numerous sword charms and filled his surroundings.

“With the wealth of firepower, even Core Formation cultivators may have to avoid these numerous fourth-grade sword symbols.”
