I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 567

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Lu Xuan’s new farming life in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave gradually fell into place.
Every day, he carefully nurtured various spirit plants and raised spirit beasts, enjoying the gradual recovery of the spirit plants’ vitality, which gave him a sense of satisfaction.
In his spare time, he practised the cultivation technique, refined the elixir, and learned more about the Liyang Region and the Heavenly Star Cave.
One day, he came to the spirit field. After looking at the unpredictable rays of lightning outside the cave dwelling, he calmly headed to the area where the Water Glow Grass was grown.
Over 250 strains of Water Glow Grass have fully adapted to the new planting environment, growing well and rapidly.
“In about half a year, I should be able to absorb a wave of cultivation level rewards from the light clusters,”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
He arrived at the spirit field where several high-rank Sword Grass were planted.
The five-grade Bone Slaying Sword Grass and the Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass began to take root and sprout, each sprouting a small, slender sword tip.
The two sword tips were distinctive. One was polished from exquisite jade bones, even though it was only half as long as a finger and displayed its initial sharpness, with tiny sword qi carrying a chilling killing intent.
The other one was semi-transparent. Only with highly-focused spiritual sense can you discern the shape of the sword tip. Around it, the sword qi ripples like flowing water, unpredictable and strange.
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged next to the two five-grade Sword Grass for a while, contemplating their related sword intent. Under the influence of the Clear Sword Heart, he became enlightened, and his use of Slaughter Sword Intent and Formless Differentiation Sword Intent became much more refined.
After nurturing the two five-grade Sword Grass, he came to the Fourth Grade Sword Peacock and Blue Lotus Sword Grass, respectively using the sword qi from the “Peacock Sword Array” and the “Blue Lotus Sword Canon” to nurture the two Sword Grass.
These two fourth-grade Sword Grass are both in a stage of rapid growth, not too far from maturity.
“It’s a pity that I can’t get high-rank Sword Grass Spirit Seeds in the future.”
One of Lu Xuan’s regrets about leaving the Sky Sword Sect was that he could no longer obtain high-rank Sword Grass Spirit Seeds from the Sword Hall.
He has a particular fondness for Sword Grass and other spirit plants. During their cultivation, he can sharpen his own Sword Dao, and the light cluster rewards he reaps are also excellent.
“Fortunately, I brought over some ordinary second-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, and I also learned the Method of Seed Condensation. I can try to improve the spirit seeds and enhance the rank of the ordinary Sword Grass.”
With the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, the time cost of improving Sword Grass has been significantly reduced. Lu Xuan decided to give it a try when he has time.
The seven third-rank Ice Glowworm Grass he planted have also taken root and sprouted. The pale blue tender leaves are covered with a thin layer of frost, with a touch of chill lingering around the plant.
“I wonder if this Ice Glowworm Grass, once mature, can bring more cultivation level rewards from the light cluster.”
Lu Xuan was a little worried. Of all the spirit plants he has grown previously, the ones that yield direct cultivation level rewards are only the initial Spirit Firefly Grass and the subsequently improved Water Glow Grass.
Others, at most, produce some elixirs that slightly enhance spiritual power, which is not as straightforward as gaining a cultivation level.
As he was cultivating the spirit plants, suddenly, a clear voice came from outside the cave dwelling.
“Is friend inside the cave dwelling? The two of us live not far from you. Knowing that you have moved here, we deliberately came to visit.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan quickly removed the formation he had set up outside the cave dwelling and quickly greeted them.
“I’m here. It’s an honour to have fellow friends visiting my humble abode!”
He came out of the cave dwelling with a smile. Just in case, he hid ten fourth-grade Sword Symbols and a fifth-grade Taiyi Thunder Talisman in his sleeve, ready to spring into action at any moment.
The two visitors, one a single-eyed middle-aged man with a cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm, had a huge Thunder Jiao beneath his feet. The Thunder Jiao’s silver-white body was surged with lightning, and there was a prominent horn on its head, from which a devastating thunderous force could be felt.
The other one, a young cultivator, with a majestic presence and a cultivation level also at the Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm. His cheeks were marked with silver-white patterns, like a multitude of thunder traces combined, and a pair of thunder wings on his back was either a special magical instrument or the effect of practicing some Divine Skills.
“My name is Luo Ming, and this is Lei Zheng. Nice to meet you, friend.”
The single-eyed middle-aged man, with a smile on his face, introduced themselves.
“My name is Lu Xuan. I just moved in, and I’ve been busy, so I haven’t had a chance to visit the two of you. Please, come in.”
Lu Xuan, smiling, welcomed the two men inside.
“I haven’t been in the Thunder Fire Star Cave for long and the cave dwelling is a bit simple, I hope you don’t mind.”
He led the two of them into the small courtyard.
“Didn’t expect Friend Lu to have planted so many spirit plants.”
The one-eyed middle-aged Luo Ming looked at the numerous spirit plants in the outer area and sighed.
“Ever since I started cultivating, I’ve been particularly fond of nurturing spirit plants, to the point that I spend more time on them than on cultivation, I’m pretty much a pure Spirit Plant Master.”
Lu Xuan served the two visiting cultivators with Spirit Fruit Spirit Paste, and said with a laugh.
“This spirit paste is good.”
Luo Ming tasted the Hundred Fruit Spirit Paste and couldn’t stop praising it. The silent Lei Zheng on the side also nodded in agreement.
“The spirit fruits are grown from my own spirit plants, and the spirit paste is made by brewing the spirit fruits and spirit flowers.”
Lu Xuan explained.
“Most people who choose to live in the Thunder Fire Star Cave come for its special features, like the Thunder Jiao I raise, which is perfect for living in the thunderfire.”
“Friend Lei Zheng’s cultivation technique is also related to this.”
“But I didn’t expect a Spirit Plant Master like Friend Lu to choose this place.”
“I mainly found that the cave dwelling here is spacious and suitable for growing a large number of spirit plants, so I just happened to come here.”
Lu Xuan lied casually.
After a while of idle chat.
“By the way, Friend Lu, do you know about the special features of Thunder Fire Asterism Cave?”
Luo Ming suddenly asked.
“Oh? Please enlighten me, friend.”
“The Thunder Fire Star Cave itself is very suitable for cultivating thunder and fire techniques. In addition, for the cultivators living inside, there is a hidden benefit.”
“Friend Lu should have noticed the boundless thunder sea deep within, right?”
Lu Xuan nodded, he did have a deep impression of that thunder sea.
“In the thunder sea, there are all kinds of magical thunder forces, Yin Thunder, Five Elements Thunder, and even rumored Divine Skills like Capital Sky God Thunder.”
“In addition, there are many thunder attribute treasures. With enough blessings and luck, it’s possible to obtain rare treasures from it.”
“However, it is also the relatively dangerous place in the Thunder Fire Star Cave.”
“In a normal living environment, although you can see thunderbolts everywhere, compared to the thunder sea, it’s like comparing a small witch to a grand witch.”
“The thunder in the thunder sea is more aggressive, occasionally thunderstorms occur, and there are even some mysterious thunder beasts hidden inside.”
“However, if there are signs of a thunderstorm, the high-order cultivators in the Thunder Fire Star Cave will issue a warning, so it is relatively safe.”
The one-eyed middle-aged man introduced Lu Xuan to the peculiarities of the deep thunder sea.
“Thank you friend for telling me, if there’s a chance, I can go and check out the thunder sea with you two.”
He said courteously.
Even though he had already decided to go alone to obtain the nutrients needed for the Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit, he still needed to maintain a polite front.
