I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Only Affect My Farming Speed_1

Translator: 549690339

It was impossible for Lu Xuan to feel nothing when such a delicate female cultivator stood in front of him, inviting him home with the softest, most soothing voice.

He forcefully suppressed his eagerness, comforting Lady Wang.

“Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid. Are you sure there have been strange noises in your house?”

“I’ve heard it more than once, a very eerie noise, it sounds terrifying. My heart’s still pounding non-stop till now.”

Lady Wang lowered her eyes, her slender, fair hand held against her chest.

Following her movement, Lu Xuan’s gaze fell on a large expanse of plump, white skin.

“…Sister-in-law, are you testing a Spirit Plant Master with this?”

He muttered to himself internally and continued to question Lady Wang.

“Did Big Brother Wang leave you any protective magical artifacts or charms? Did he set up any defensive arrays in the courtyard?”

“Yes, everything is there.”

Hearing the woman’s words, Lu Xuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Since Big Brother Wang left you with protective magical artifacts and charms, as well as defensive arrays, why did you come looking for me?”

‘You’re at the Second Layer of Qi Cultivation, and I’m at the Third Layer. Plus, I’m just a Spirit Plant Master and not good at combat. Our strengths are about the same.”

“I’m sorry I can’t help you. I suggest either you go find Big Brother Wang, or you stay home and rely on the array and magic artifacts until Big Brother Wang returns.”

Lu Xuan promptly said.

“But…I’m a weak woman, I’m scared to stay at home alone…Brother Lu…”

Lady Wang spoke timidly, her features looking vulnerable and helpless.

“Bang!”

The sound of the courtyard gate closing was her response.

Unwilling to give up, Lady Wang pleaded several more times outside the courtyard. Lu Xuan remained unmoved and directly entered his house.

Soon, the area outside the courtyard returned to peace.

Lu Xuan listened carefully and waited. When he was certain that there was no longer any sound, he finally relaxed.

He could not confirm the truth of Lady Wang’s words.

If it was true, and there were strange noises at her house, entering it could potentially cause him to fall into dangerous circumstances. Besides, explaining the situation if Wang Shan returned and found them alone in a room would be difficult.

If her claims were false, then Lady Wang was either trying to seduce him or had nefarious intentions towards him.

Chances are, it was far more likely to be false. After all, it does not make sense that she did not seek help from her Fifth Layer Qi Practicing husband, but instead, sought help from a Third Layer Qi Practicing stranger.

“Huh, female practitioners!”

“They only disrupt my farming speed!”

Lu Xuan sneered, pushing the incident out of his mind.

The next two or three days were quiet and peaceful.

As Lu Xuan observed, both Wang Shan and Lady Wang had no abnormalities, and they did not come looking for him.

He did not know if they had successfully resolved the so-called weird noises, or if the whole thing was a fabrication.

With no one bothering him, Lu Xuan happily indulged in his leisure, cultivating spiritual plants daily and watching the Three-Tailed Red Whisker Carp scramble for Spirit Rice by the Spiritual Spring Pool.

From time to time, he played with the Cloud Leopard Juvenile Beast. The juvenile occasionally made sounds, still possessing a distinct, crude, and robust tone.

After a few days, under Lu Xuan’s careful care, four more stalks of Spirit Firefly Grass matured completely.

Among them, two were of good quality, one was of superior quality, and one was of perfect quality.

According to the growth of the thirteen mature Spirit Firefly Grass plants, Lu Xuan also realized that achieving Spirit Firefly Grass of perfect quality isn’t an easy task.

He believes he has done his utmost care and cultivation, but the probability of achieving perfect quality is still quite low.

Four Spirit Firefly Grass plants generated four slightly flickering white light clusters.

“Harvesting one Spirit Firefly Grass, gaining six months of cultivation progress.”

With that thought flashing by, Lu Xuan’s spiritual power rose sharply, making his cultivation at the Fifth Level of Qi even more stable.

“Harvesting one Spirit Firefly Grass, obtaining the First Grade Explosive Flame Talisman.”

As he absorbed the white light cluster, a thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.

A red talisman appeared in his hand, the talisman was painted with strange patterns, looking like a burning flame, holding it gave a slight burning sensation.

Lu Xuan put it into his storage bag.

He always welcomed more talismans. Even though a first-grade talisman was only equivalent to the attack of a lower or middle-level qi cultivator and had limited lethality, if there were enough of them and used together, the effect would be extraordinary.

During the previous sneak attack from Qin Ming at the Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation, the numerous talismans he had accumulated played a vital role.

“Harvesting one Spirit Firefly Grass, gaining the Earth Pulling Technique.”

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lu Xuan’s understanding of Earth Pulling Technique in terms of principles, casting speed, and control deepened as if he had practiced it hundreds of thousands of times in an instant.

He vaguely felt that his mastery of the Earth Pulling Technique had reached a grand completion stage.

He could accurately change the terrain, even to the size of sand and gravel, and if spiritual power was sufficient, he could even cause crustal movements.

The charms and methods brought by the two superior quality plants were as expected by Lu Xuan.

He looked down at the last white light cluster. This cluster was left by the Spirit Firefly Grass of perfect quality, and Lu Xuan had great expectations for it.

“Harvesting one Spirit Firefly Grass, gain a First Grade Treasure, Thunder Fire Pearl.”

As the white light cluster disappeared, a bead about the size of a baby’s fist appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The bead was fire-red, with many dark red patterns on the surface, and a faint flash of lightning could be seen inside.

“The Thunder Fire Pearl, a first-grade treasure, can burst with the force of raging thunder-fire when used.”

“The use of the thunder-fire power inside the bead is limited. Once depleted, it can be recharged in some special wind power environments.”

“A consumable treasure that can be charged with thunder and fire power, but it looks challenging to find a suitable place to charge.”

Lu Xuan looked at the Thunder Fire Pearl in the palm of his hand and thought to himself.

This Thunder Fire Pearl isn’t like a usual magic artifact, durable and long-lasting. Although it’s consumable, it’s different from one-off talismans, as it can be used more times and recharged for repeated use.

That is what makes it much more superior in value compared to talismans of the same rank.

“As expected from a Spirit Plant of perfect quality, a grade-less Spirit Firefly Grass. A treasure such as this is obtained from the cluster inside.”

The previous First Grade Slivered Blade was collected after opening numerous Moon Erosion Fruits. The Thunder Fire Pearl in front of him is slightly inferior in value to the Slivered Blade, yet it came from just one mature Spirit Firefly Grass.

This shows the importance of acquiring a Spirit Plant of perfect quality.

In this batch of mature Spirit Firefly Grass, Lu Xuan only got four of perfect quality.

Among them, one gave him a year of cultivation progress, one gave him a Second Grade Sword Qi Talisman, one gave him the Grass Spirit Elixir which was filled with the essence of grass and trees.

The latest one did not disappoint, revealing a Thunder Fire Pearl.

Compared to other qualities of maturing Spirit Firefly Grass, the acquired cultivation progress varies between three, six and nine months depending on the quality, whilst other items primarily consist of First Grade Talismans and low-grade techniques, the best of which is the First Grade Technique, the Golden Sword Technique.

“I must work harder on farming, not for the sake of any perfect level rewards.”

“I just want to experience the heavy harvest that comes after hard work.”

Lu Xuan put the Thunder Fire Pearl into his storage bag, his resolve unyielding..
