You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 86

Among the fifteen mature Firefly Grasses, six were of good quality, seven were of superior quality, and the remaining two were of perfect quality.

Lu Xuan carefully packed the fifteen mature Firefly Grasses into a white jade box, picking up each of the fifteen white orbs that appeared.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

Harvested one Firefly Grass, gained cultivation equivalent to six months.*2

Harvested one Firefly Grass, gained cultivation equivalent to nine months.*4

In an instant, waves of spiritual energy surged into Lu Xuan's body like raging sea waves, raging madly between his meridians and dantian.

After the turmoil settled, Lu Xuan felt a significant increase in his cultivation, coming much closer to reaching the eighth layer of Qi cultivation.

From the remaining nine white orbs, Lu Xuan received four first-grade talismanstwo Sword Qi talismans, one Explosion talisman, and one Expelling Evil talisman.

Additionally, there were three first-grade Nourishing Pills. Lu Xuan placed them in a jade bottle along with the ones he previously obtained.

The two perfect-quality Firefly Grasses yielded two second-grade Myriad Sword Qi talismans.

In his storage bag, Lu Xuan already had seven second-grade Myriad Sword Qi talismans and dozens of various first-grade talismans, neatly categorized.

Lu Xuan tidied up all the rewards before returning to rest.

He retrieved the book "Common Spirit Plants and their Processing Methods" from the red-clothed girl, deepening his impression of various spirit plants in his mind.

After skimming through the book for a while, he stood up to prepare lunch. It was a simple mealsteamed Spirit Rice in two bowls, a portion of dried Spirit Beast meat, and a side of chilled Spirit Fruits, each enjoying their meal separately.

The taste was ordinary, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but reminisce about the nourishing Red Whiskered Carp from the Spirit Spring he had recently enjoyed. He found himself looking forward to the Iron-Clawed Crab offspring growing quickly.

After a brief rest, he returned to the Spirit Field.

The recovery ability of the Iron-Clawed Crabs at the bottom of the Spirit Spring pond was impressive. In just a short while, they had become lively and active, scuttling around at the pond's bottom.

One of them was clinging with its sturdy pincers to the surface of the pond's stone wall, attempting to flip itself over and gain freedom.

Feeling immensely gratified, Lu Xuan even began reflecting on his actions.

"They've recovered so quickly. Maybe I haven't been challenging them enough?"

He instructed his Cloud-Treading Lynx to fetch four Iron-Clawed Crab offspring from the Spirit Spring pond. Before they could settle, a rough and uneven piece of refined iron ore was offered to the young crabs.

Seemingly forgetting their morning lesson, the young crabs raised their dark-green pincers high and forcefully snapped the offered ore.

"Yes, just like that. Don't be discouraged. As long as you persist, all the ores will be handled."

"No, it's about defeating the Ore Fiend and preventing it from provoking us with ores again!"

Lu Xuan smiled faintly, finding a more fitting expression.

After surveying the Spirit Field, as he approached the area where the Sword Grass was grown, he noticed that the progress bar beneath it had reached its maximum, entering the fully mature stage.

Of superior quality.

He carefully uprooted the Sword Grass, and instantly, a thought emerged in his mind.

"Sword Grass, a second-grade spirit plant, shaped like a blade, extremely sharp, a natural sword that can be used directly or refined into a flying sword."

To Lu Xuan's surprise, the part of the Sword Grass aboveground resembled a blade, while the roots buried in the Spirit Soil were closely related. It didn't have a speck of dirt on it when pulled out, bearing shallow patterns on its roots. When held, it felt just like holding a flying sword.

"Indeed, a natural sword..."

The more Lu Xuan looked at the Sword Grass, the more he admired it. Unlike the Firefly Grass, Blood Jade Ginseng, Crimson Cloud Pine, and other mature plants he had cultivated, which could only serve as materials, this Sword Grass could be used directly as a weapon.

Suppressing his inner joy, he stored away the Sword Grass and shifted his gaze to where the Sword Grass was cultivated.

A white orb was faintly shimmering.

With anticipation, Lu Xuan gently picked it up, and instantly, numerous specks of light entered his body.

A thought immediately flashed in his mind.

"Harvested one Sword Grass, gained cultivation equivalent to three years."

A small sphere appeared in his hand.

The sphere, the size of an egg, was composed of countless fine sword auras, swaying and fluctuating. Inside, there was a swirling black hurricane with occasional flashes of lightning.

"Xun-Lei Sword Pill, a third-grade treasure, nurtured within a cultivator's body, capable of transforming spiritual energy into sword qi. It can unleash diverse sword auras, possessing formidable lethality. It can also be infused into a sword to enhance its grade."

"When splitting sword auras, it consumes a large amount of sword qi. Frequent use depletes sword qi and requires timely replenishment of spiritual energy."

"A third-grade treasure, the Sword Pill..."

Lu Xuan looked at the egg-sized pill in his hand, opened his mouth, and immediately, the pill disintegrated into countless fine sword intents that entered his throat.

Reforming into a pill shape in his dantian, Lu Xuan released a strand of spiritual energy into the Sword Pill. Suddenly, a tempestuous black wind and crackling lightning appeared on its surface, and the sword aura surged, permeating the surroundings.

"So, it's nurtured with spiritual energy like this..."

Lu Xuan suddenly understood, and with a breath, countless fine sword qi swiftly departed from his body, reshaping into the form of a pill in front of him.

He manipulated the pill in the air, and its swift movements left behind a series of afterimages.

In Lu Xuan's spiritual perception, these sword auras could be controlled as he pleased. The moment he thought about it, they fiercely shot towards the ground, leaving numerous dark holes that seemed bottomless.

"Indeed, a third-grade treasure specialized in lethality."

Lu Xuan marveled at the power of the Xun-Lei Sword Pill.

"Just like the Concealing Spirit Robe, it consumes too much spiritual energy. Even if it was nurtured with sufficient energy before, frequent use still requires a considerable amount of spiritual energy."

"Of course, this isn't a flaw of the third-grade Xun-Lei Sword Pill or the Concealing Spirit Robe, but my personal issue."

Lu Xuan chuckled at himself. He had thought that reaching the seventh layer of Qi cultivation was quite impressive, feeling a sense of satisfaction. However, the appearance of these two third-grade treasures instantly made him feel inadequate, with his spiritual energy insufficient for usage.

Nevertheless, it was a fortunate problem.

With these two third-grade treasures, he had significant reliance whether evading danger or facing formidable

enemies.

"At present, I possess the Xun-Lei Sword Pill and the Blood Ignition Arrow technique for offense, the second-grade Red Thread Needle technique, the second-grade Sword Grass for auxiliary use, and the third-grade Concealing Spirit Robe and the third-grade Pure Snow Lotus for support. My defense is slightly lacking, with only the first-grade Wooden Wall Technique and the second-grade Crimson Scale Armor."

"However, even with just these two items, among Qi cultivators, it's considered exceptional."

The appearance of two third-grade treasures instantly boosted Lu Xuan's strength and reaffirmed his cultivation path for the future.

Until higher-grade spirit plants that could substitute for Firefly Grass appeared, he would continue large-scale cultivation of Firefly Grass to enhance his cultivation.

Simultaneously, he aimed to cultivate higher-grade spirit plants as much as possible, not just for their inherent value, but mainly for the abundant rewards upon their maturity.

Quantity and quality, he needed to excel in both, advancing steadily on both fronts.
