You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 251
🕑 Added 2024-02-05 17:09:43 +0000 UTCChapter 251: Spirit Fruit Banquet
Three mature Sword-Nurturing gourds produced three fourth-grade sword talismans.
Among them, two were Howling Sea Sword Talismans, and one was the Grand Sun Sword Talisman.
The rewards were so generous that it strengthened Lu Xuan's determination to continue cultivating Sword-Nurturing gourds.
While the Jade Scale Fruit was still under consideration, the fourth-grade Sword-Nurturing gourd, also of third grade, became a definite choice.
Lu Xuan continued to patrol the spiritual field, inspecting the real-time condition of each spiritual plant and satisfying their subtle needs one by one.
Returning to the courtyard, he checked his storage bag, finding it already filled with numerous spirit fruits. He decided to invite Xuantian Bai Luan and Bai Yu Qingtian Ape, who he hadn't seen for a long time, for a small gathering.
He took out a silver-white hair as hard as jade, activated his spiritual power, and the hair immediately emitted a radiant glow.
This hair was left behind by Bai Yu Qingtian Ape during their last encounter. Lu Xuan just needed to activate his spiritual power, and the little monkeys within a certain range would come rushing over.
As expected, in just over a dozen breaths, a white light directly shattered the flowing light formation and landed in the courtyard.
It was the extraordinary guardian spirit beast descendant, Bai Yu Qingtian Ape.
The white monkey, as pure as jade, bared its teeth and waved its claws, seemingly asking Lu Xuan why it was summoned.
Behind Bai Yu Qingtian Ape, Xuantian Bai Luan quickly appeared. The distinct black and white pupils of its eyes gazed calmly at Lu Xuan, and the pure white feathers on its wings fluttered slightly.
"A short period of not seeing each other. The reason I called you over this time is mainly because many spirit fruits have matured, and I want you to taste them fresh," Lu Xuan explained with a smile.
The little monkey initially thought it was called for a fight, its eyes turning red. However, upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, it gradually returned to normal, hiding behind Xuantian Bai Luan, appearing obedient and shy.
Lu Xuan cut the Jade Scale Fruit, Flame Fruit, Ice Lotus Fruit, and some ordinary spirit fruits he bought into pieces. Each spirit beast had a small plate in front of them. Then, he took out the Drunken Immortal Gourd and poured a small cup of Hundred-Fruit Spirit Nectar for each.
With their nod of approval, the small ones began to enjoy this simple spirit fruit feast.
Lu Xuan picked up a piece of Ice Lotus Fruit and placed it in his mouth.
Instantly, a crisp and cool sweetness spread from his mouth, like eating a piece of frozen watermelon on a scorching summer day, refreshing from head to toe.
The cool and refreshing taste of Ice Lotus Fruit lingered in the mouth, making the spiritual beasts savor it endlessly.
Lu Xuan savored the icy and delicious taste of Ice Lotus Fruit and continued to enjoy the flesh of Flame Fruit.
A small jelly-like flame-red fruit entered his mouth.
As soon as it entered, it had a violent reaction with the remaining cold aura in the mouth, turning from cool and refreshing to explosively hot in an instant.
The combination of the two flavors made Lu Xuan's taste buds extremely sensitive and stimulated, creating a mysterious experience.
"This is the legendary 'Ice and Fire Reversal.'"
He sighed inwardly.
The unique combination of two peculiar flavors in these spirit fruits, along with the Hundred-Fruit Spirit Nectar brewed from a special recipe, made the birds and monkeys linger in the ultimate delicacy.
"Is it delicious?"
After the two guardian beasts were full, Lu Xuan smiled and asked.
"How are these spirit fruits? Are they to your liking?"
Xuantian Bai Luan and Bai Yu Qingtian Ape nodded eagerly.
Although they could have spirit fruits every day, they were usually of ordinary varieties, ranging from first to second grade, with average quality.
In Lu Xuan's place, there were various types of spirit fruits, with diverse varieties and extraordinary quality. Even the lowest-quality ones were of good quality, and high-quality spirit fruits were not uncommon.
The difference in quality led to a noticeable gap in taste.
The cultivator responsible for their care couldn't spend most of their time on refining spiritual plants, so naturally, they couldn't obtain higher-quality spirit fruits. This led the two guardian beasts to frequently come to Lu Xuan's place for a feast.
"Unfortunately... I'm afraid I won't be able to cultivate spirit fruits like this in the future."
Lu Xuan's expression carried a trace of regret, seven parts unwillingness, as he sighed.
The high intelligence of the bird and monkey allowed them to discern the hidden meaning in Lu Xuan's words. They both looked up at him simultaneously.
"Recently, I offended several mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators with stronger backgrounds and abilities than me in the sect. I'm afraid they might make some moves to interfere with my cultivation of spiritual plants."
Lu Xuan spoke with sincerity and concern. He was indeed worried that those people from the Sect would come looking for trouble later, so he wanted to take precautions with the bird and monkey in case of unexpected situations.
"If someone comes to bully me, will you come to help?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu Qingtian Ape's eyes turned red, slapping its chest with a booming sound, looking like it was ready to fight at any time.
Xuantian Bai Luan spread its wings and danced around Lu Xuan, indicating that if they encountered trouble, it would come to his aid immediately.
With the endorsement of the two guardian beasts, Lu Xuan finally felt relieved.
After Xuantian Bai Luan and Bai Yu Qingtian Ape left, Lu Xuan tidied up the courtyard.
Then, he went to a nearby mountain peak.
While entertaining Xuantian Bai Luan and Bai Yu Qingtian Ape with spirit fruits, he happened to catch sight of his neighbor returning from the expedition against the Tongxin Devils. Out of curiosity, he came to take a look.
This mountain peak was only six or seven miles away from Lu Xuan's peak, and he quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain. The owner of the mountain had been waiting for a long time.
"What's the occasion today? Brother Lu, who rarely leaves the sect, actually came to my place."
The owner of the mountain, surnamed Kong, was a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage. Although he had been an inner sect disciple for some years, he was preparing to advance to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
"I saw Brother Kong returning from outside the sect and guessed that the Tongxin Devils had been eradicated. So, I came over to inquire about the specific information."
Lu Xuan replied with a smile, following behind the cultivator.
"It's quite a surprise that Brother Lu, who rarely goes out of the sect, actually came to my place today."
The cultivator surnamed Kong, in the early Foundation Establishment stage, had been an inner sect disciple for some years and was making various preparations to advance to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
"I saw Brother Kong returning from outside the sect, and I guessed that the Tongxin Devils had been eliminated. So, I came over to inquire about the
details."
Lu Xuan replied with a smile, following closely behind the cultivator.
"The Tongxin Devils has indeed been resolved, but it has nothing to do with me. The fourth-grade flying sword is completely out of my reach."
The cultivator surnamed Kong smiled bitterly.
"I originally thought that with so many fellow disciples sweeping through layer by layer, my life and wealth would be safe, but unexpectedly, there was a slight accident during the siege."
"Oh?" Lu Xuan sat up straight, suddenly interested.
"Three Tongxin Devils entered the area of Star Yuan City and the surrounding market districts, and there was a remnant soul of that Foundation Establishment old devil attached to them.
Guided by the remnant soul, the three Tongxin Devils joined forces, bursting out with strength comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage. A junior brother in the early Foundation Establishment stage, unprepared, was killed by the Tongxin Devils in one stroke."
"This angered the sect, and in the end, they sent a true disciple who directly killed the Tongxin Devils."
A true disciple...
Lu Xuan was secretly amazed. The seventeen true disciples were all reserve forces for the sect's Foundation Establishment. They had at least late Foundation Establishment stage strength, not to mention the treasures and techniques on their bodies. It was reasonable to easily kill the Tongxin Devils.
"It's a pity for that junior brother. He thought that with his own strength and luck, he could obtain a fourth-grade flying sword. But unexpectedly, he went and never came back."
Lu Xuan said with some regret.
