You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 423

The Illusion Sound Bamboo, stuffed with numerous grey, slender vines of the Demon Ghost Vine, couldn't help but emit a sorrowful sound, making the scene before one's eyes even more unbearable.
"This Illusion Sound Bamboo, planted near these ten Enchanting Spirit Peaches, has become a den of snakes and rats. It hasn't learned anything good, just this indecent trick."
"I wonder what kind of luminous orb reward it will yield upon full maturity."
Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
He had the Demon Ghost Vine extract itself from the body of the Illusion Sound Bamboo, which had entered its maturity phase, and lightly slashed it with the silver-white short sword in his hand.
A buzzing sound of immense magnitude.
The sword qi and the sound of thunder roared past, causing many cracks on the root stem of the Illusion Sound Bamboo to burst open.
All the noisy, strange sounds around him vanished in an instant, leaving only the echo of thunder lingering in his ears, the sound imbued with the power of Buddhism.
"Indeed, it's the thunderous sword qi. So fierce and domineering."
"If the Thunderous Sword Scripture were used to continuously stimulate the Illusion Sound Bamboo over a long period, I wonder what it would look like upon maturity."
Lu Xuan briefly experimented with the effect of the Thunderous Sword Scripture on the Illusion Sound Bamboo and thought to himself.
He returned to the spiritual field, inspecting the detailed conditions of the many spiritual plants within.
"A large number of Water Firefly Grass have matured."
Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness swept over the remaining hundred or so stalks of azure, slender spiritual grass in the field, finding that over forty stalks of Water Firefly Grass had their progress bars fully filled.
Before entering the Sword Pool, quite a few stalks of Water Firefly Grass had already matured. Lu Xuan decided to save up a bit more, aiming to activate a sufficient number of luminous orbs at once.
He harvested all the mature Water Firefly Grass.
A total of forty-five stalks of Water Firefly Grass matured, the average quality being quite good, with many of good quality and even a few of superior quality.
After the harvest, over forty faintly flickering white luminous orbs appeared in the spiritual field.
Lu Xuan, swift as the wind, swept past the numerous orbs, touching the surface of the orbs lightly as if skimming water.
Over forty orbs exploded into countless smaller ones, converging into slender rivers of light that surged into Lu Xuan's body.
In his sea of consciousness, thoughts raced by like shooting stars.
【Harvested a second-grade Water Firefly Grass, gaining one year of cultivation.】
【Harvested a second-grade Water Firefly Grass, gaining a third-grade Water Dragon Talisman.】
...
Various rewards came in a never-ending stream, appearing in Lu Xuan's hands, within his dantian, in his sea of consciousness...
Twelve of the forty-five mature Water Firefly Grass brought cultivation rewards, adding eighteen years of cultivation to Lu Xuan.
The spiritual energy in his meridians rose like a tide. Lu Xuan quickly started running the Great Five Elements Technique, swiftly absorbing and refining the rich spiritual power that appeared out of nowhere.
"One step closer to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
Lu Xuan felt the rise in spiritual liquid within his dantian and muttered to himself.
"At most, after planting Water Firefly Grass three more times, I can breakthrough to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
He had an epiphany, clearly understanding that he was not far from reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"After the Foundation Establishment phase, I wonder how much more spiritual power will be needed to break through each realm. Being able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment with at most three more cultivations of Water Firefly Grass is already quite swift.
If I were to cultivate normally, with my talents and physique, I probably wouldn't have any hope in this lifetime."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
In the spiritual field, more than seventy stalks of Water Firefly Grass remained, a little over half more than the condensing spiritual grasses Lu Xuan usually left behind.
He planned to try to improve the second-grade Water Firefly Grass to avoid the cultivation rewards from second-grade Water Firefly Grass becoming almost nil after breaking through to Core Formation.
More than seventy stalks of Water Firefly Grass could condense over three hundred spiritual seeds. Most of these seeds were for normal cultivation, harvesting luminous orbs, and condensing spiritual seeds. A small part was for experimentation, inducing mutations in the spiritual seeds to obtain beneficially mutated spiritual seeds.
The rewards from the other orbs remained the same.
A third-grade Water Dragon Talisman, a third-grade treasure Aqua Pearl, second-grade Spirit Nurturing Pills, and the
recipe for second-grade Spirit Nurturing Pills.
After absorbing several Spirit Nurturing Pill recipe experience packs again, Lu Xuan's understanding of concocting this pill had reached its limit, as if he had become a pill concocting master who devoted his life to Spirit Nurturing Pills.
"In terms of concocting Spirit Nurturing Pills alone, I should have reached the grandmaster level."
A ludicrous thought emerged in Lu Xuan's mind.
"Have I, who focused solely on cultivating spiritual plants, quietly become a master of the pill path?"
After harvesting the mature Water Firefly Grass, the spiritual field was nearing maturity with fourth-grade Five Elements Fruit, Illusion Sound Bamboo, second-time mature third-grade Enchanting Spirit Peaches, Flame Fruit, and Ice Gourd Fruit, among others.
Lu Xuan was not in a hurry, calmly taking care of them, quietly waiting for the spiritual plants to mature.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, and the condensing process of the spiritual seeds for the Wind Thunder Sword Grass and Water Firefly Grass had entered its final stage.
That day, as Lu Xuan was cultivating spiritual plants, the true disciple Ge Pu, familiar with the way, arrived at the mountain peak.
"Junior Brother Lu, I see you're still cultivating spiritual plants as soon as I arrive."
Ge Pu, with his heterochromatic eyes, said teasingly in a soft voice.
"Senior Brother Ge, it's been a while since we last met, and your cultivation has improved a lot."
Lu Xuan, with his keen spiritual consciousness, noticed that Ge Pu had entered a special state of unity between heaven and man, where every movement was imbued with the Dao of Yin and Yang, being firm yet gentle, and gentle yet firm, very natural.
"Recently, I indeed had some insights. I estimate that within ten years, I will try to break through to the Core Formation realm."
Ge Pu said confidently, his demeanor and tone suggesting he had great assurance.
"Then I'll congratulate Senior Brother Ge in advance."
Lu Xuan's eyes appropriately showed a hint of envy as he smiled and said.
"It's all too early to say."
Ge Pu changed the subject.
"Junior Brother Lu, I've come to you this time for a major matter."
"If you handle it well, it will be a great opportunity. If not..."
"I believe with Junior Brother's talent in spiritual plants, such a situation is impossible."
He had great faith in Lu Xuan's accomplishments in spiritual plants.
"Senior Brother, may I know what it is exactly?"
Lu Xuan's curiosity was piqued by his serious demeanor.
"It's like this."
"There's a Core Formation elder who has a fifth-grade spiritual seed, which is extremely rare even among fifth-grade spiritual plants."
"That elder is not skilled in cultivating spiritual plants and often travels around, entering various secret realms to cultivate and embark on adventures, and thus doesn't have much time to spend on cultivating spiritual plants, which has always been a concern."
"Knowing this, I recommended Junior Brother Lu to that elder. After hearing about Junior Brother's deeds in spiritual plants, the elder became somewhat curious and asked me to come and inquire."
"Would Junior Brother Lu be willing to cultivate a fifth-grade spiritual seed for that Core Formation elder?"
Ge Pu asked solemnly.
"I am willing."
Lu Xuan responded without hesitation.
A fifth-grade spiritual seed is a rare and sought-after entity, even for the powerful foundation of the Sky Sword Sect, which cannot mass-produce fifth-grade spiritual seeds. They can only occasionally find such a grade of spiritual seed in various secret realms.
Lu Xuan had accumulated for many years, using all means at his disposal, and only had a few fifth-grade spiritual plants, some of which were unorthodox spiritual plants that could not be exposed.
Moreover, since that spiritual seed was highly regarded by a Core Formation True Immortal, it must possess extraordinary characteristics.
Such an opportunity to freely collect luminous orbs, how could Lu Xuan let it pass?
