After procuring the Three-Tailed Red Whisker Carp fry, Lu Xuan returned to his courtyard.

By the edge of the Spiritual Spring, the Red Whisker Carp in the bag appeared listless after being jolted during the journey, its slender red whiskers hanging down weakly from both sides of its head.

“Let’s get you into your luxurious new home!”

Lu Xuan poured the three Red Whisker Carps into the Spiritual Spring, somewhat sourly.

If the Spiritual Spring was a bit larger, deeper, he might have wanted to take a dip in it himself.

Upon being dropped into the Spiritual Spring, the Red Whisker Carp initially found it hard to adapt. However, the faint spiritual energy in the spring water stimulated them, quickly reviving their vitality.

Swimming around in the spring water, they let their slender red whiskers float in the water, seeming very content.

Lu Xuan, filled with anticipation, focused his mind on one of the Red Whisker Carps.

“Red Whisker Carp fry, a non-ranked Spirit Beast, seems quite satisfied with the new environment. It would be even better if some Spirit Rice fell into the Spiritual Spring.”

A thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.

“Great!”

Unable to suppress his excitement, Lu Xuan raised his fist in triumph.

Since he could see the instant status of the Red Whisker Carp, once it matured, there was a good chance a white Light Cluster would appear.

Looking at the three Red Whisker Carps freely swimming in the Spiritual Spring, Lu Xuan imagined them nurturing a wealth of treasures for him.

“It seems that I can raise more spiritual birds and spiritual beasts in the Spirit Field or Spiritual Spring.”

He made a silent decision.

Thinking back to the immediate status of the Red Whisker Carp that appeared in his mind, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“These three little fellows are hoping for Spirit Rice to fall from the sky. Even if it did fall, it would first fall into my mouth. For now, just enjoy this free Spiritual Spring water!”

He left the Spiritual Spring and inspected the Spirit Field.

In the area of the Spirit Field where the Blood Jade Ginseng was located, Lu Xuan sensed that the location of twenty Blood Jade Ginseng Seeds had moved, with several pair clustering together.

Lu Xuan hurriedly activated the Earth Pulling Technique. Through the Spirit Soil, he made them return to their original positions, maintaining a relatively safe distance from each other.

One hundred Spirit Firefly Grass have begun to sprout new buds, the tender green buds sporadically distributed in the Spirit Soil, conveying a vigorous growing status to Lu Xuan.

The Spirit Field was divided into several areas. One area with slightly thicker spiritual power was being used to plant the relocated Spirit Plants.

Among them, the Second-Level Sword Grass alone occupied a large chunk of Spirit Soil. Around its upright sword-like body, there were occasional strands of Sword Intent emitted, preventing other Spirit Plants from growing nearby.

The Fine Red Needle Leaves on the First Grade Red Cloud Pine, with several flower clusters, looked increasingly coquettish. The buds opened and appeared very charming.

A Two Grade Dark Marrow Mushroom was still accompanied by rotten wood, with dense dark-red mycelia absorbing the putrid spiritual energy inside it.

In the corner of the Spirit Field, a Grass Puppet leaned against the wall, quietly familiarizing itself with the new environment.

The big hole in its chest still existed and was extremely eye-catching.

Lu Xuan came over to its side, somewhat reluctant to use up a Spirit Stone.

Normally, to feed the Grass Puppet, one only needed to provide a Broken Spirit, and it could maintain its functions and guard the Spirit Field.

But if he wanted to activate its self-healing ability, a meagre Broken Spirit was far from enough.

He put a Spirit Stone into the grey Grass Knot on the Grass Puppet’s head.

Then, a faint spiritual power fluctuation came from the huge tumor-like lump made of grey grass.

Immediately afterwards, two grey dried grass strands floated out one on the left and one on the right from its head. Like a willow leaf in the wind, they slowly floated to the big hole in its chest.

Starting from the edge of the hole, two grey grasses weaved together in a cross, gradually filling the large hole in the chest.

Lu Xuan couldn’t stand its slow weaving motion, he ran to another part of the Spirit Field, performed a round of Spirit Rain Technique, and released the Earth Pulling Technique and Golden Sword Technique according to the needs of Spirit Plants.

After nearly two hours, when he checked the Grass Puppet again, it finally reached the final stage of filling the large hole in its chest.

Two strands of grey-black withered grasses filled the last tiny gap, tied a slow knot, and the remaining small pieces of withered grass fell to the ground.

Lu Xuan could clearly feel that the Grass Puppet’s huge head had become a bit smaller.

“It’s good that you have recovered, I am counting on you to guard the Spirit Field.”

Although the Spirit Field is now guarded by a First Grade Protective Array, Lu Xuan had already grown accustomed to the Grass Puppet standing dumbly in the corner. He was also willing to pay a Spirit Stone to heal it.

You should know that when he bought this secondhand Grass Puppet, it cost less than three Spirit Stones.

After checking-in the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan opened the formation and came to the Loose Cultivation Market.

Taking this opportunity of moving into a new house, he planned to invite Xu Wan and Zhang Xiu Yuan, as well as Manager He from Bai Cao Tang over to his house to show his gratitude for their previous care and concern.

Therefore, he came to the market, planning to buy some Spirit Rice, Spirit Beast Meat, to prepare a lavish meal.

There is a dedicated Spirit Rice shop in the market, selling several kinds of Spirit Rice, with the lowest price being thirty Broken Spirits per pound, and the most expensive one being a kind of Spirit Rice named Blood Tooth Rice, which has full grains and irresistible aroma, requiring four Spirit Stones per pound.

It is said that there are even more expensive ones, specifically supplied to core members of major families in the market. Ordinary loose cultivators, no matter how many Spirit Stones they have, have no access to them.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Xuan finally bought ten pounds of Spirit Rice at the price of thirty Broken Spirits per pound, and two pounds of Spirit Rice at fifty Broken Spirits per pound, a total cost of four Spirit Stones.

After buying the Spirit Rice, he visited the stall selling Spirit Beast Meat and bought two pounds of porcupine meat and three pounds of wild bull meat.

He also bought more than a pound of Jade Spirit Leaves from another place. The color of Jade Spirit Leaves is like jade, which can be eaten after a slight stir-frying, with a crisp and delicious taste, capable of adding a trace of Spiritual Energy to low-level Qi-cultivators.

Lastly, he also bought some tasty food without Spiritual Energy. Only then did Lu Xuan return home with a bunch of stuff.

Having bought so much food, he had spent about ten Spirit Stones. For the always frugal Lu Xuan, this was quite a lot of money.

After returning home, he started preparing the ingredients for dinner.

As evening approached, Lu Xuan was ready, estimating that Manager He and others would be arriving soon.

Soon, Manager He’s energetic voice could be heard outside the courtyard.

“Kid Lu, hurry up and open the door, I’ve come to mooch dinner off you!”

Lu Xuan opened the door to see a thin old man carrying a jug of wine.

“This Yellow Mildew Wine is a ten-year-old Spirit Brew, the taste is mellow and long, it can nourish the flesh body, we will have a good drink later.”

Manager He held up the jug of wine in his hand.

“You kid, you rented such a big courtyard secretly. No wonder you opened your mouth so wide and swallowed so many Spiritual Firefly Grass Seeds and Blood Jade Ginseng Seeds.”

Looking at the wide Spirit Field, he sighed in his heart.

“Old He, find a place to sit first, I’ll go prepare dinner.”

Lu Xuan gave a command and then went into the kitchen.

Before he started cooking, Zhang Xiu Yuan’s loud voice rang out again.

“Little Uncle Lu, I’ve come with my mother!”

Lu Xuan went out to greet them, and Zhang Xiu Yuan, with his silly face, jumped in, hugging his thigh.

“Congratulations on your housewarming, Little Uncle Lu, from now on I will cling to you!”

Behind him, Xu Wan, carrying a bamboo basket filled with Spirit Fruit, smiled sweetly.
