Although Lu Xuan's request seemed somewhat absurd, Song Yu quickly found a suitable location.
The next day, Song Yun came early and took Lu Xuan to the spiritual field that the Song family had found.
The spiritual field was not far from the center of the Empty Abyss Island, covering an area of
six or seven acres, much smaller compared to the peaks of the inner sect.
"Senior Lu, this spiritual field was originally occupied by a high-level Qi cultivation solitary cultivator on the Empty Abyss Island. After learning about your needs, our Song family purchased it at a premium, and the solitary cultivator left overnight."
Seeing Lu Xuan examining the renovated spiritual field, Song Yun quickly explained.
"There was no coercion or extortion involved, right?"
Lu Xuan looked around.
"Absolutely not. That solitary cultivator cultivated this spiritual field just to earn some spirit stones. We offered enough spirit stones, and he agreed without much consideration."
The Song family knew that Lu Xuan came from a prestigious background, and at least on the surface, they couldn't afford any dirty dealings. Therefore, they were willing to spend more spirit stones rather than risk upsetting Lu Xuan.
"These spiritual fields are surrounded by spiritual gathering arrays, suitable for cultivating spiritual plants. Besides, in accordance with your request, senior, there is a stone cliff behind the courtyard with an underground fire stream."
Song Yun detailed the situation of the spiritual field.
Lu Xuan nodded. Considering the growth requirements of the Fourth-Rank Earth Fire Heart Lotus, when he asked the Song family to find the spiritual field, he specifically instructed them to find one with underground fire.
As the Empty Abyss Island itself was a sea island, occasional eruptions of strange fire were not uncommon.
"You've been considerate."
Lu Xuan smiled and said to Song Yun.
Although the spiritual energy of the spiritual fieldwas far inferior to the caves in the Sky Sword Sect, it was much better than many spiritual fields in the market of Lin Yang Fang City. Being able to find such a spiritual field on this bitterly cold island already satisfied him.
"As long as senior is satisfied."
Lu Xuan casually praised, leaving Song Yun pleasantly surprised, with a hint of joy on his face that he couldn't hide.
"I can finally release the treasures in the Life Bag."
After Song Yun left, Lu Xuan laid out a simple formation and immediately opened the Life Bag.
First to jump out was a chubby Wind Falcon, flapping its pale blue wings incessantly, showing signs of discomfort from being kept inside for too long.
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx stepped out with graceful steps, its green eyes scanning the surroundings, while the two tufts of gray-white fur on its ears turned vigilantly.
Following closely was the Demon Ghost Vine. After crawling out, its gray vines swayed back and forth. Sensing that there were no marked rare spiritual plants around, it languidly lay on the ground, looking despondent.
"Wind Thunder Sword Grass! Plant it here."
Lu Xuan found an open area, used Earth-Attraction Technique, and planted the Wind Thunder Sword Grass into the spiritual field.
The sword grass was already three feet long, with a gray-black body, standing straight with its tip pointing straight to the sky. Shortly after planting, faint thunder and wind sword energy began to generate around it, causing slight sword cries as they swirled and danced.
"Moonlit Grass, it needs a shady place."
Lu Xuan's spiritual power surged, and the spiritual field's stones and soil changed continuously. In a few breaths, a simple shed was built on the island's spiritual field, shielding the Moonlit Grass from the scorching sun. When night fell, the shed would be removed to let the grass absorb moonlight.
Next were the Fourth-Rank Profound Insect Vine, with more than ten strangely structured insect dens connected together, forming a bizarre but harmonious symbiotic relationship.
After planting the Profound Insect Vine, Lu Xuan immediately buried the Third-Rank Starlight Sword Grass and the Fourth-Rank Thousand Illusions Seed. As these two sword grasses had not mastered the corresponding sword techniques well enough, they could only absorb spiritual energy and barely maintain their vitality.
Additionally, he planted ten ordinary Second-Rank Sword Grass. When these matured, they would mainly be used to condense spiritual seeds and expand the scale of the sword grass to improve its variety on a larger scale.
Most of the spiritual field was used to cultivate the Water Fire Grass.
The water fire grass seeds condensed previously numbered nearly one hundred and sixty, which was the key for Lu Xuan to break through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage in a short time.
With his mediocre aptitude and the relatively thin spiritual energy on the Empty Abyss Island, without the help of the water fire grass globules, it would have taken him who knows how long to break through.
After planting the water fire grass, Lu Xuan went to the courtyard, jumped off the stone cliff, and went deep into a cave, where he found a small underground fire stream.
"It should be enough. I can use the Wood Source Qi to ripen them if necessary."
He placed several Pale Fire Lotus, which had grown many pale red lotus seeds, into the scorching magma.
After being washed by the scorching magma multiple times, the vitality of the Pale Fire Lotus recovered significantly. The lotus leaves and stems shimmered with a bright red and pale red glow, dazzling and eye-catching.
"As for these three kinds of Yin Realm spiritual plants, I can't care too much. Let them grow mixed with other spiritual plants."
He returned to the spiritual field and took out the three Yin Realm spiritual plants he brought along.
Two Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms, with strange patterns growing on their gray stone surface, looked like eerie faces upon closer inspection, sending shivers down one's spine.
The Thorny Bone Trees had grown into a small forest of white bones. Long, white bones grew rampant, with countless tiny bone spurs on their sides, densely packed, capable of instantly turning a fresh monster carcass into a mummy.
The Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood, with its ancient trunk resembling a face, opened dozens of eerie pupils simultaneously, staring at Lu Xuan and rotating slightly.
A cool breath emanated from Lu Xuan's neck, and the discomfort brought by the dozens of eerie pupils disappeared instantly.
He found a secluded corner and planted these three Yin Realm spiritual plants.
Unlike the Sword Gate Town, where there was a Fourth-Rank Thousand Illusions Cloud Mist Array for protection, coupled with its proximity to the Sky Sword Sect, it was almost impossible to see the shadow of evil cultivators. There was no need to worry too much about the safety of the spiritual plants.
Within the Sky Sword Sect, he was just a small Early Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he planted many Yin Realm spiritual plants, it might attract attention and even suspicion about his background and intentions.
However, it was different on the Empty Abyss Island. With his Early Foundation Establishment cultivation and the identity of an inner sect disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, he could be considered one of the most powerful cultivators among the surrounding islands. Even if he were discovered, it would not be a big deal.
Therefore, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated and directly mixed the Thorn Bone Trees with other spiritual plants.
"Finally, everything is properly arranged. It's time
to start three years of farming life on this deserted island."
Although the spiritual energy and soil of the Empty Abyss Island were much weaker than those of the Sky Sword Sect, Lu Xuan remained optimistic.
For the next ten days, he stayed indoors, carefully nurturing the numerous spiritual plants in the spiritual field.
During this time, the refined scholar Song Yu came several times to invite him to banquets. After attending once or twice, Lu Xuan politely declined his invitations, focusing entirely on the spiritual plants.
"The Fourth-Rank Thorn Bone is ripe."
On this day, while inspecting the spiritual field, Lu Xuan found that the faint progress bar under the Thorn Bone was already full. With a pleasant surprise, he carefully pulled out the thorny forest made of bones.
The roots spread deeply underground, and when pulled out, they looked like a forest of white bones, with a little soil, like skeletons that had seen the sun again after many years.
