“Finally, home.”

Lu Xuan stood in front of the front door of his own courtyard, filled with countless thoughts.

“Thankfully there are kind-hearted people in the Cultivation World who brought me back to the city.”

After meeting those first three cultivators, he ran into two more groups of cultivators, all of them generous and kind, insisting on giving their storage bags to him.

It wasn’t until the fourth time he met two cultivators that they were willing to bring Lu Xuan back to Linyang Market.

The return journey was much slower without the Second-grade Iron Feather Hawk to ride, and it took Lu Xuan and the others four to five days to reach the Market.

With a creak, the front door opened, and a familiar spiritual energy wafted out from the courtyard. Lu Xuan inhaled deeply, at peace.

“Friend Lu, you’re finally back.”

A familiar voice rang out from not too far away.

Lu Xuan turned his head to look, seeing Wu Wenjing several distances away at the door, looking at him with hazy, drunken eyes.

“I heard you went to that new Secret Land, I was worried I would lose a drinking buddy! It’s good that you’re back safe and sound.” The old man said with a laugh.

“I couldn’t help it, the cultivator from the Wang Family invited me, I had to agree.” Lu Xuan said helplessly.

“There were also some minor mishaps in the Secret Land, but luckily everything turned out alright, so I made it back safely.”

“By the way, Daoist Wu, during my absence, has anyone been by my courtyard?”

Wu Wenjing shook his head, sobering up somewhat, and pondered for a moment.

“A young man surnamed Zhang came to look for you, and that old manager from Bai Cao Tang, he came by almost every day. Apart from that, I didn’t see anyone else coming over.”

“Alright, thank you, Daoist Wu, let me go in and clean up, then I’ll come over to have a drink with you.”

Lu Xuan, with the image of Zhang Xiu Yuan and Manager He in his mind, said with a smile.

Entering the courtyard, he didn’t even have time to sit down and rest, the first thing he did was to go to the Spirit Field.

In the Spirit Field, mist was swirling.

The Grass Puppet noticed someone invading the Spirit Field, its huge grassy head looked over.

After sensing Lu Xuan’s breath, it stood still for a moment, paused for a few breaths, and then continued patrolling in the Spirit Field, seeming to be lighter on its feet.

Lu Xuan scanned the entire Spirit Field. Everything was as usual, and only then did he relax and came to the edge of the Spiritual Spring Pool.

In the clear and transparent Spiritual Spring Pool.

Four First Grade Iron Claw Crab Juveniles each occupied a corner, blowing out transparent bubbles.

Having not been fed anything for over ten days, Lu Xuan noticed that the Iron Claw Crabs’ stomachs had flattened significantly.

The most lively among them, the one with bulging eyes on top of its head, noticed Lu Xuan’s upper body leaning over. Its large greenish-black claw, like a pair of swords, was held up high, constantly clamping like pincers, appearing very arrogant.

“Good, you’re still the same old Iron Claw Crab, not the slightest bit of change.”

Lu Xuan looked at the young Iron Claw Crab that was challenging him, feeling greatly comforted.

In the center of the Spiritual Spring Pool, the Pure Snow Lotus, surrounded by high walls of mud and stone, had stealthily sprouted a delicate white lotus pod after more than ten days. The shape of the lotus seed could be faintly seen from inside the pod.

“This is indeed an unexpected joy.”

Lu Xuan’s mind was focused on the Pure Snow Lotus; seeing the progress bar was only a short distance from being fully charged, his heart was filled with joy.

In the spirit field, Lu Xuan had harvested all the Spirit Firefly Grass before leaving, putting the third-grade Phantom Smoke Fruit and Flood Dragon Vine into the Life Bag. Therefore, aside from the first-grade Pure Snow Lotus, only three second-grade Clear and Wonderful Spirit Teas and five Copper Bone Bamboos remained.

In addition, there were four diseased second-grade spiritual plants that he had bought earlier in the corner.

Having not been properly taken care of for more than ten days, both the Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea and the Copper Bone Bamboo were not in very good condition.

Lu Xuan quickly took a bowl of spiritual spring water from the Spiritual Spring Pool and watered it to the roots of the Spirit Tea. He then took out a handful of fine iron sprinkles from his storage bag and sprinkled them around the Copper Bone Bamboo.

After adjusting the conditions of the plants in the spirit field, Lu Xuan opened the Life Bag, and the Cloud Leopard bounced out of the dark cloth bag, landing steadily.

“Roar…”

Stretching its four limbs, it let out a light roar.

While he journeyed to the Secret Land, it spent most of its time in the Life Bag, and its joints were almost rusted.

Lu Xuan then took out the Phantom Smoke Fruit and Flood Dragon Vine from the Life Bag.

Being inside for so long, the vitality of each hadn’t weakened much.

He replanted them in the spirit field and focused his mind on these two third-grade spiritual plants.

The Phantom Smoke Fruit quickly excreted white smoke from within, constantly expanding, hiding the misty fruit.

For the Flood Dragon Vine, Lu Xuan sensed a strong desire for snake blood from its vines, and quickly took out Azure Water Python Blood, increasing the dose and watering it on the black vines.

The vine absorbed the mixed red-green Azure Water Python Blood crazily. In a short while, the vines that originally seemed somewhat dry slowly came to life, moving slowly like a poisonous snake. The surface of the vine has red and green patterns, which added a few points of exotic charm.

After taking care of the spiritual plants, Lu Xuan returned to his room to take stock of the gains from this trip.

Despite the unexpected events that occurred during this journey to the Secret Land to help the Wang Family identify and separate spiritual plants, the harvest was considerable.

Among them, one of the biggest gains was five Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms in their dormant period.

Getting five third-grade spiritual plants at once only needed the crushed Yin Soul Resentment to wake them up.

The appearance and cultivation method of the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom were weird, but Lu Xuan didn’t care much about that.

After attempting to feed the demon envoy with spirit fruits to learn its true form, let alone this strangely styled spiritual plant, if he had the chance, Lu Xuan would even like to raise a Tiny Mischievous Pest himself.

In addition, there are dozens of initial Dragon Beard Grass that have been processed, and there are likely to be many variant plants hidden in them. Also, it’s necessary to separate the variant beard from the normal Dragon Beard Grass.

Lu Xuan had already a complete identification and separation method in place, which could quickly sift through the normal Dragon Beard Grass.

The second-grade spiritual plants could be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones.

As for spirit stones, there were a hundred spirit stones as part of the reward paid by the Wang Family, more than two hundred spirit stones in Li Jianfeng’s storage bag, and a total of more than two hundred spirit stones provided by other cultivators. Lu Xuan’s fortune barely broke through a thousand spirit stones.

In addition, there were two second-grade magical artifacts, several storage bags, all types of first-grade talismans, first-grade pills, a pile of low-grade demon beast materials, and spirit grass and spiritual medicine.

There was also that peculiar Scabbard, which seemed to be attracted by the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pill within his body. It had been quiet for the past few days.

However, it was pursued simultaneously by a Trick-Level Mischievous Pest and a Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivator. It was likely to be some extraordinary treasure.

Lastly, there was the so-called Azure Cloud Order left to him by the cold female cultivator, which could allow cultivators to join the Sky Sword Sect more conveniently.

“No wonder so many loose cultivators are keen on exploring secret lands and wrestling for opportunities with others. The benefits inside are too great.”

“However, it also hides no small risks. Invasion by demon envoys, tracking, and cultivators with ulterior motives. Careless, one might fall into danger.”

“It’s better to cultivate spiritual plants quietly.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh..
