I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 82: Chapter 81: Leaving Seeds_l

Opening the courtyard door, the Cloud Leopard that had been lying on Lu Xuan’s shoulder whooshed down and rushed to the edge of the Spiritual Spring Pool without looking back, staring intently at the lone seedling of the

Red-Whiskered Carp in the pool.

Lu Xuan swept around the Spirit Field, everything was as usual, and the Grass Puppets were patrolling the entire Spirit Field diligently.

He came to the area where the diseased Spirit Plants had been nurtured before

and took out those five Copper Bone Bamboos.

He cast the Earth Pulling Technique, and the structure of the Spirit Soil quietly changed, revealing a crack that perfectly matched with the root of the Copper Bone Bamboo seedling, without any gap.

After planting all five Copper Bone Bamboo seedlings, Lu Xuan focused his mind on the purple-red bamboo, and all of a sudden, a piece of information about Copper Bone Bamboo flowed into his Sea of Consciousness.

[Copper Bone Bamboo, a second-grade spirit plant, grows bamboo that is extremely tough and can be used to make Magic Artifacts. It is especially suitable for the Flying Sword. It can also be used as a material for certain special elixirs.]

[Adding copper and iron ores during the cultivation process will promote the growth of the Copper Bone Bamboo. Spirit Ores have a better effect. The smaller the ore size, the faster the Copper Bone Bamboo can absorb and digest

it.]

[For the Copper Bone Body, how to break through oneself and grow taller?]

“It needs copper and iron ores. Spirit ores work better.

“Although the cultivation conditions are a bit weird, luckily the difficulty is not high, which is much easier than the third-grade Flood Dragon Vine.” Copper-iron spirit ores are quite common in the Loose Cultivation Market, and the price is not very expensive.

Lu Xuan first cast the Spirit Rain Technique. Strands of spiritual raindrops fell and blended into the spirit soil around the Copper Bone Bamboo, allowing the bamboo roots to absorb them.

He planned to let the Copper Bone Bamboo adapt to the environment of the

Spirit Soil first, and then buy Spirit Ores in a few days to speed up the cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Lu Xuan made a round in the Spirit

Field and heard a call from Wu Wenjing next door.

“Friend Lu, come over for a drink!”

Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled. He picked up a piece of wind-dried Demon Beast meat from the kitchen and, accompanied by the Cloud Leopard, went to

Daoist Wu’s house.

-Daoist Wu, do you have anything on your mind?”

After a few cups of warm spiritual wine, Lu Xuan noticed the old man s absentmindedness and wandering gaze, so he asked aloud.

“Friend Lu, do you know the recent movements in the Market?”

“I’ve been at home taking care of my Spirit Plants these past few days and

haven’t gone out.”

Lu Xuan shook his head indicating he was not aware.

“Friend Lu is indeed focused on cultivating spirit plants without paying

attention to outside affairs…”

With a sigh, Wu Wenjing continued.

“There are rumors in the Market that the cultivators of the Wang Family who were cultivating the Secret Land have already reached the core of the Secret Land. However, they are having difficulty breaking the prohibition, thus they have invited other family forces in the Market to join them.”

“The perimeter of the Secret Land has also been opened to the outside, attracting many Loose Cultivators who are eager to try and want to join, seeking their fortunes.”

“So Daoist Wu is not content to be left out and wants to try to stir up some muddy waters?”

Lu Xuan looked at Wu Wenjing with a somewhat teasing gaze.

“That’s right, I have indeed been tempted.”

Wu Wenjing gave a wry smile.

“The Demon Beasts and Envoys in the outer area have almost been cleared out during the Wang Family’s exploration. And now it is when the resources are abundant. Hence, many cultivators want to explore.”

“Well, I have no intention of that.”

Lu Xuan deduced that Wu Wenjing seemed to want to invite him to jointly enter the outer area of the new Secret Land, so he made his stance clear.

“Even if there are no beasts or demon constitutions in the outer area, does Daoist Wu believe he can grab cultivation resources from the other

Cultivators?”

“Friend, you have much more experience than I do, so you should know that sometimes members of our own kind can be more terrifying than demon

beasts and envoys.”

Upon hearing these words, Wu Wenjing’s old face turned first pale, then green. After a long while, he let out a deep sigh.

“Thank you for the reminder, Friend Lu. I was indeed too absorbed.

“For the past few decades, my heart has already been calm as still water. I didn’t think about any chances or treasures, but when I really stumble upon such an opportunity, some fantasies always emerge in my heart.”

“The end is drawing near, I am still not content.”

Lu Xuan was silent, not knowing how to console Wu Wenjing. He understood the cultivator’s situation. Any Qi Cultivator who had lived for over a hundred years would struggle to accept their inevitable march towards death.

If they saw even a glimmer of chance to change their fate, just like a drowning man grasping at straws, they would try everything in their power to break free.

He was internally grateful for the White Light Group reward he received for cultivating spirit plants. Otherwise, he might have been just like Wu Wenjing, drifting aimlessly in the sea of cultivation, unable to withstand any waves or winds.

“I might as well stay honestly in the market, my old age and dwindling strength can’t compare to before. I haven’t engaged in cultivation fights for many years, If I went to the secret land, I would probably be defenseless against any cultivators at my level.”

The old man said with a bitter smile, his eyes filled with sadness.

Lu Xuan didn’t say anything but raised his wine cup.

Wu Wenjing clinked his glass against Lu Xuan’s, looking at him.

“Sometimes I really don’t know how to evaluate you. Even though you’re very young, you’re more like an old man than I am.

“Such a good opportunity, yet you are able to maintain your composure and aren’t swayed by it. You’re much more stable than I am.”

“Haha, having no desires and no demands does have its advantages.

“Being just an ordinary Spirit Plant Master suits me.”

Lu Xuan maintained his persona very well.

After the two had their fill of food and wine, Lu Xuan returned home and continued planting spirit plants, meticulously caring for their every need through instantaneously monitoring their status.

Five days flew by in a heartbeat.

During this time, Lu Xuan bought a pound of unranked ore from the Loose Cultivation Market to test its effect on the Copper Bone Bamboo.

Out of the remaining nine Blood Jade Ginseng plants, five matured – three of them were of good quality and two were of superior quality.

Accordingly, five White Light Groups appeared and brought rewards.

[Harvest one Blood Jade Ginseng, receive one second-class Blood Essence

Pill.]*3

[Harvest one Blood Jade Ginseng, receive the second-class technique Blood Burning Arrow.]*2

With the five light groups, Lu Xuan obtained three second-class Blood Essence Pills and kept them in his storage bag for future opportunities to use Blood

Burning Arrow.

He fully absorbed the experience packages from the two Blood Burning Arrows, which deepened his understanding of this secret technique.

Due to his unwillingness to waste his blood essence, though he hadn’t used the technique yet, Lu Xuan could feel that the execution speed and power of this secret technique had considerably improved.

He planned to try and cultivate Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seed from the remaining four Blood Jade Ginseng plants.

In the Cultivation World, if a spirit plant matures naturally and is not harvested, it will wilt or melt into the heavens and earth after a period of further growth.

Some of them will gather the essence of the spirit plant and condense spirit seeds, which will propagate in various ways. Upon encountering abundant spiritual power and suitable conditions, they will germinate into new spirit plants.

Naturally condensed spirit seeds have varying qualities and are rare. They aren’t guaranteed to result in successful cultivation of a spirit plant. However, the seed condensation method that cultivators have developed and summarized over countless years not only allows for the condensation of a larger number of spirit seeds, but also ensures their quality which increases the likelihood of successful cultivation.

Lu Xuan kept the four Blood Jade Ginseng plants in hopes of testing whether the method of seed condensation passed down from the Bai Cao Tang, could

work..
