You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 353

The burly cultivator held two Thunderstones in his hands, each the size of a baby's head, shining silver-white with a vast expanse inside, seemingly containing boundless thunderous power.
To obtain a Thunderstone of such size in exchange for a single fourth-grade Enchantment Pill, Lu Xuan was overjoyed beyond measure.
Treasures imbued with thunderous power were extremely rare in the cultivation world. Lu Xuan had been keeping an eye out for a long time but hadn't found anything similar. Therefore, the piece of fourth-grade Fallen Thunder Wood had not been carefully cultivated. It was merely nurtured in the spirit soil, occasionally stimulated by the Purple Lightning Sword to sustain its vitality.
With a fourth-grade Thunderstone, even using just one of them would be more than enough to cultivate the Fallen Thunder Wood. Furthermore, they could still be used for refining artifacts or exchanged with other cultivators.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhong," Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude.
"This is what you deserve, Junior Brother Lu," in Zhong Hao's eyes, these Snarling Shadow Beasts were far more valuable than fourth-grade spiritual ores. Lu Xuan had helped him extract the lust-feeding insects from the bodies of the beasts and even went as far as to find ways to allow them to reproduce normally. He didn't hesitate to use rare pills, so using two Thunderstones as a reward was more than appropriate.
After resolving the issue of the Snarling Shadow Beasts devouring each other, the three of them arrived at a simple and spacious stone house. Amidst the cries of various strange birds and beasts around them, they discussed their insights on beast taming.
Having immersed himself in this for over a century, the burly cultivator was experienced and knowledgeable, effortlessly recalling information about various exotic beasts.
Although Lu Xuan had limited experience in raising spirit beasts, his understanding of each type of spirit beast he raised had reached the theoretical limit. He had also studied numerous relevant scriptures in the scripture pavilion, accumulating a vast amount of theoretical knowledge. Occasionally, a casual remark from him would enlighten Zhong Hao, leaving him amazed.
One had breadth of knowledge, the other had depth. Through their exchange, they both learned a lot.
After almost two hours of discussion, Lu Xuan bid farewell to Zhong Hao and Liu Su, returning to his own cave residence.
He retrieved the Thunderstone from his storage pouch and went to the area where he kept the Fallen Thunder Wood.
A seemingly inconspicuous piece of withered wood was inserted into the spirit soil, mostly exposed, with charred marks scattered around, stringing together like lightning patterns.
As Lu Xuan's spiritual energy surged, the Thunderstone flew above the withered Fallen Thunder Wood. He casually arranged a small prohibition, keeping the Thunderstone hovering motionless in the air.
The Fallen Thunder Wood below seemed to be attracted by the thunderous power inside the Thunderstone. The charred parts crackled as the special vitality contained within burst out vigorously.
Under the unknown aura's guidance, the Thunderstone flashed with thunderous light, and a tiny bolt of lightning struck directly at the center of the Fallen Thunder Wood.
The lightning divided and rushed down from top to bottom, wisps of white light emerging on the charred wood.
In Lu Xuan's perception, the charred wood exuded an unprecedentedly rich vitality, enjoying the might of the thunder.
After carefully nurturing the fourth-grade Fallen Thunder Wood for a while, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the numerous spirit plants in the spirit field.
When he sensed that a spirit plant had a need, he tried to satisfy it as much as possible to facilitate its healthy growth.
In the spirit field, both the Starlight Sword Grass brought from the Empty Abyss Island and the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass had entered the mature stage.
Planted long ago, the Spirit Pine obtained from the Blessed Land was expected to mature completely shortly.
Approaching them, Lu Xuan heard the rustling of the wind and waves, as if they were warmly welcoming him.
Having been trapped in the spirit field for so long, seeing Lu Xuan, who communicated with them through spiritual consciousness, the joy emanated from them from the inside out.
Returning to the courtyard, a hideous poisonous bug with pockmarked surface quickly flew towards him, its body emitting poisonous smoke as it crawled rapidly.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lu Xuan quickly ordered the strange Poisonous Heart-Eating Insect to halt.
The Poisonous Heart-Eating Insect circled around his feet, quickly forming a circle of poisonous smoke around Lu Xuan.
"You ugly creature," Lu Xuan chuckled and scolded lightly. He knew this was its innate talent and didn't mind. Stepping over the circle of poisonous smoke, he took out a Corpse Flame Pill from his storage pouch.
The Heart-Devouring Insect, upon seeing the ghastly pale Corpse Flame Pill, became excited and wriggled around, emitting even more toxic fumes.
It eagerly swallowed the poisonous pill, and soon, gray-white veins with an aura of death began to appear on its head, rapidly spreading throughout its body within moments.
All the veins coalesced into a gray-white flame, seemingly intent on incinerating the trembling Heart-Devouring Insect into ashes.
Having experienced the effects of the Corpse Flame Pill before, Lu Xuan placed the prepared Hundred-Year Ice Soul close to the larva.
The extreme cold emanating from the Hundred-Year Ice Soul caused a thin layer of frost to form on the larva's body, gradually dissipating the gray-white flames.
Observing this, Lu Xuan then infused a wisp of Green Wood Source Qi from his dantian to restore vitality to the larva.
Once the larva regained its composure, it opened its mouth and spat out a wisp of gray-white toxic smoke into the courtyard, which struck a rock like a sharp arrow.
The smoke penetrated the rock, and after a few breaths, the surface of the gray-black stone turned gray-white, disintegrating into countless specks of dust in the courtyard with a gentle breeze.
"It truly lives up to its name as the Perilous Poison Body. Its ability to refine and absorb toxins is remarkably strong. Just by ingesting two Corpse Flame Pills, it displays significant power," Lu Xuan couldn't help but marvel at the larva's capacity to harness poison.
After feeding the Heart-Devouring Insect, Lu Xuan returned to his dwelling.
After confirming that all the array formations and restrictions in the cave were activated, he retrieved two peculiar eyes from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The eyeballs spun around as if imbued with life, with numerous nearly transparent tentacles floating around their edges.
These were the peculiar eyes he had plucked from the mature Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood.
Lu Xuan sealed the mature tree trunk and placed it back into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
His eyes widened as a faint spiritual light appeared on the surface of his pupils, drawing one of the peculiar eyes from his brow into them.
In an instant, he seemed to see countless phantom eyes appearing all around him, opening and closing, all staring fixedly at him.
Lu Xuan activated the Illusion Breaking Eye Technique, and a powerful suction force emanated from the depths of his eye sockets, absorbing all the phantom eyes.
Upon opening his eyes, Lu Xuan used the Water Mirror Technique, seeing numerous fine tentacles-like entities swimming in the whites of his eyes.
The eyes from the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood harbored sinister spiritual power, requiring corresponding talismans, techniques, elixirs, or other methods to dispel.
Lu Xuan cast a purification spell on his own eyes, instantly restoring their clarity.
As for the remaining eye, he tossed it to the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, and stood guard nearby, waiting for it to digest the eye before dealing with its aftermath.
The Illusion Breaking Eye Technique could dispel illusions, while the peculiar eyes of the Cloud-Stepping Lynx could perceive malevolent spirits, making them both useful for enhancing vision with the peculiar eyes from the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood.
For the next period of time, life remained as calm as water, with no disturbances.
Every day, Lu Xuan cultivated spiritual plants, nurtured spiritual beasts, and spent the rest of his time practicing martial arts, occasionally meeting with acquaintances from the sect to catch up.
"The Starlight Sword Grass has matured!"
On this day, he arrived at the spiritual field area where he had planted the Sword Grass, and at a glance, he saw that the translucent progress bar beneath the Starlight Sword Grass was fully filled.
