In the thick and thriving slender red pine leaves, five pine nuts were half hidden, with one of them already ripe.

The outer red pine cone looks like fish scales, wrapping up the pine nuts from bottom to top, layer by layer.

The number of pine nuts at most central part is not much, just over twenty, fingertip-sized, similar to pomegranate seeds.

They appear pale red, crystal clear, overflowing with a delicate fragrance that tempts one to start salivating.

Focusing his mind on the ripe Red Cloud Pine Nut, Lu Xuan immediately received detailed information about it.

“Red Cloud Pine Nut, derived from the First Grade Spirit Plant Red Cloud Pine. It contains abundant spiritual power, which can slightly improve the cultivation level of lower-middle level Qi cultivators.”

“Its taste is sweet and refreshing, with a lingering aftertaste, deeply welcomed by many female cultivators.’¹

Lu Xuan plucked this ripe Red Cloud Pine Nut and placed it into a specialized vessel, which was painted with related runes to ensure the freshness of the pine nut to the greatest extent.

While plucking the pine nut, he also learned that this pine nut was of good quality.

Where he had picked the Red Cloud Pine appeared a white light cluster, flickering faintly.

Lu Xuan was stirred with emotion; this was his first harvest of a mature First Grade Spirit Plant.

Previously, whether it was Spirit Firefly Grass or Moon Erosion Fruit, they were all non-grade Spirit Plants, their value much lower than Red Cloud Pine.

“Harvested a Red Cloud Pine Nut, received a Second-Grade Flying Sword, Fire Separation Sword.”

The white light cluster turned into countless light spots that flowed into Lu Xuan’s body, next, an idea flashed through his mind.

A flying sword quietly appeared in his hand.

The flying sword was about three feet long, had a light physique, was a fiery red color, with dark red veins on the blade, small flames flew out from the blade when it quivered.

“A Second Grade Flying Sword!”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim, this was the first Second Grade Magic Artifact he had received in his cultivation career.

Before he had obtained the Spirit Field, he wanted to buy one Sword Qi Talisman, and he had to save up for quite a while to afford it.

But now, not only does he have treasures like the Slivered Silver Blade and the Thunder Fire Pearl.

He has many talismans; previously hard-to-get Sword Qi Talismans and Evil Banishing Talismans have piled up in abundance. He now even owns two Second-Grade Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talisman.

Now he has received another Second Grade Magic Artifact, a Fire Separating Sword.

“Planting a Spirit Field brings many opportunities.”

“I don’t love exploring secret lands, I don’t like fighting for treasures, I just like cultivating flowers and plants.”

The appearance of the Second Grade Fire Separation Sword made Lu Xuan anticipate the remaining four Red Cloud Pine Nuts even more and moreover, it strengthened his determination to quietly cultivate his field.

He kept the Fire Separation Sword in his storage bag and arrived at the Spirit Firefly Grass area.

Out of the hundred Spirit Firefly Grasses, sixty-five remained, and they had entered the accelerating maturity phase. Tiny points of light were flickering on its slender leaves, very eye-catching even in daylight.

Lu Xuan harvested fourteen mature Spirit Firefly Grasses at once.

Among these, four were of good quality, seven of superior quality, and the remaining three of perfect grade. There were none of ordinary quality.

He put the fourteen mature Spirit Firefly Grasses into a White Jade Box to prevent their vitality from dissipating.

Looking at the Spirit Field, fourteen white light clusters quietly appeared.

“Harvested one Spirit Firefly Grass, gained six months of cultivation progress.”*!

“Harvested one Spirit Firefly Grass, gained nine months of cultivation progress.”

“Harvested one Spirit Firefly Grass, gained one year of cultivation progress.” Four of the white light clusters brought cultivation rewards, totaling three years of cultivation progress.

Ideas flashed through his mind and wave after wave of dense spiritual power appeared within Lu Xuan’s body.

In his Dantian and meridians, a wild surge was wreaking havoc. His teeth clenched tightly, he desperately operated his cultivation technique.

A moment later, the spiritual power within his body gradually calmed down.

After days of bitter cultivation, combined with the slight cultivation rewards from earlier, Lu Xuan had finally managed to break through to the sixth level of Qi cultivation.

“Heaven rewards those who toil hard. It is not in vain that I strove to cultivate in every spare moment, planting in the spirit field. Achieving such success today is inseparable from my hard work and diligence.”

Lu Xuan sighed quietly to himself.

“Collect one Spirit Firefly Grass, receive one first-grade Sword Qi Talisman.”*3 “Collect one Spirit Firefly Grass, receive one first-grade Evil-Banishing Talisman.”*!

Among them, the five white light clusters brought rewards of first-grade talismans, making the storage bag full of talisman even fuller.

“Collecting one Spirit Firefly Grass, receive one first-grade Yuan Cultivating Pill.”*3

“Collecting one Spirit Firefly Grass, receive one Qi Cultivating Pill Recipe.”

“Collect one Spirit Firefly Grass, receive one drop of Grass Spirit Elixir.”

Out of the remaining five white light clusters, three produced Yuan Cultivation Pills. As for the other two, possibly due to the perfect quality of the Spirit Firefly Grass, one yielded a pill recipe while the other presented a precious Grass Spirit Elixir.

When Lu Xuan absorbed the Yuan Cultivating Pill recipe, his understanding of pill concocting deepened considerably. The processing of materials, doses, fire control during concoction, the timing of pill formation… all replenished significantly.

Despite not having real-life experience in concocting pills, he was already a theoretical expert.

A drop of semi-solid green liquid appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand. It was the Grass Spirit Elixir, rich in plant essences.

Lu Xuan summoned the Grass Puppet, pushing the green liquid into the gray grass lump on its head.

Not long after it was injected, the grey grass lump turned bright green at a visibly rapid pace. It looked like a old tree sprouting fresh buds, exuding delightfully vibrant energy.

“After a full meal, you’ll have more strength to guard the Spirit Field.”

Lu Xuan looked at the Grass Puppet, its head now adorned with bright green, and said with a laugh.

“Friend Lu, Friend Lu, are you there?”

From outside the house, a somewhat familiar voice came. After a brief moment of recollection, Lu Xuan recognized it as a local Cultivator surnamed Wu. Wu was quite old, and fond of drinking. He had previously visited Lu Xuan’s yard to ask if Lu had planted any Spirit Plants that were suitable for making wine. “Daoist Wu, I’m here. What can I do for you?”

“It’s nothing big, just that the bootlicking officers from the Enforcement Hall have finally withdrawn these past few days. Feeling joyful, I thought I would find someone to share a drink with, and that’s when your name, Little friend Lu, came to mind.”

Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door, smiling as he spoke to the Cultivator surnamed Wu.

“Great, let me tidy up a bit, and then I will join you for a drink.”

The old man surnamed Wu nodded and left.

Returning to the house, being cautious, Lu Xuan stowed away the Thunder Fire Pearl and the Sword Qi Million Talisman inside his clothes.

Mister Wu was a Cultivator of the fourth Qi cultivation level. Just in case he had malevolent intentions, even if he tried to cover it up, Lu Xuan felt confident that with his array of talisman tools, he would be able to handle it.

After thinking for a moment, he also summoned Cloud Leopard.

The young civet, with an expressionless face and verdant eyes, joyfully jumped onto Lu Xuan’s shoulder, clutching tightly onto his robe.

Now, Lu Xuan was completely reassured. With Cloud Leopard’s Divine Mysterious Pupils, regular Cultivators couldn’t detect any wicked beings. This gave Lu Xuan an extra layer of security potential attacks.

Accompanied by the young civet, he activated the formation, and headed towards the residence of the Wu cultivator.

Moreover, he also had some questions that he wanted to ask the old Mr. Wu.

It was difficult to find unknown spiritual seeds on the Loose Cultivation Market. As for those big shops, although there were many variety of seeds, most of them were costly and weren’t high-ranking, basically first grade or non-graded, which could not satisfy the increasingly picky Lu Xuan.

Therefore, he had the idea of visiting the mysterious black market in the market city and, at the same time, wanted to get rid of some items he had on hand.

Since the Cultivator surnamed Wu had good cultivation and had been in the marketplace for a long time, Lu Xuan thought that he must know a lot about the black market..
