After Lei Fei and the other left, Lu Xuan promptly closed the courtyard door.

He didn’t show any inclination to explore the secret land as the two had invited him to.

Going to the secret land is nothing more than seeking a tiny, illusory opportunity, which would naturally occur as long as he devoted himself to growing spiritual plants.

The better the quality of the spiritual plants he grows, the higher the value of the treasure that appears. It’s possible that a trip to the so-called Southern Secret Realm won’t compare to the light cluster reward he gets from planting a single spiritual plant.

Furthermore, venturing into the wilderness, even with a well-planned route and in an area explored for hundreds of years, doesn’t necessarily mean safety.

Demon beasts, demon envoys, robbery and murder, fellow travelers killing each other… all these accidents can be mostly avoided just by staying at home.

Lu Xuan’s attitude in his courtyard displayed the sentiment, ‘preserve the spirit field, regardless of winter, summer, spring, or autumn’.

A few days later, the voice of his next-door neighbor, Wang Shan, came through his yard.

“Lu, please open the door, I have a wedding invitation for you.”

The door opened, and Lu Xuan saw Wang Shan holding a fiery-red wedding invitation, his face gleaming as though he was full of satisfaction and pride.

“Wang Fellow Daoist, you seem energized. Is there some good news?”

Lu Xuan curiously asked.

“I’ve taken a concubine recently. I’m inviting some close friends and neighbors over in a few days to celebrate and enjoy some wine.”

Wang Shan replied with a laugh.

“Good, I’ll definitely be there.”

Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.

“Seems that you’ve changed, Wang Fellow Daoist. You are abandoning your old flames from the pleasure house?”

“Heh, if I miss them, I can still go and have a deep conversation at night.”

Wang Shan showed a mysterious smile, lost in his thoughts.

“One is a staple diet, the other is dessert, they don’t conflict.”

“I bought this concubine from the black market. She takes care of my daily needs, I don’t imagine she’ll restrict me.”

He said confidently.

“Black Market?”

“Yes, Lu, you must have heard of it. I bought a Third Layer of Qi Cultivation woman there recently. These women cultivators, whether in appearance, figure, or cultivation talent, are truly top-notch. They all underwent special training and learned the Yin Yang Technique from Unity Sect. When making love, they can blend their spiritual power, mutually nourishing each other, the cultivation level they gain is faster than when cultivating alone.”

Wang Shan enthusiastically recommended.

“Ha, when I have a chance, I might want to take a look.”

Lu Xuan played along with a laugh.

After Wang Shan left, he returned to the yard.

Lu Xuan wasn’t interested in the female cultivator Wang Shan had mentioned, but he was a bit interested in the so-called black market.

He’d heard about the black market in Linyang Market, located on the other side of the market, hidden and only open at certain particular times.

Many cultivators who like to stay in the shadows frequented there, bringing unchecked treasures with them.

Lu Xuan had considered looking for unknown spiritual seeds in the black market, but owing to his low cultivation level, he wasn’t confident enough, so this plan had always been put on hold.

“After another batch of spiritual plants matures, I can go and have a look.”

In the newly planted spiritual plants, although the Spirit Firefly Grass was gradeless, it won because of its quantity. Moreover, it has been growing in a better spiritual energy environment, and being carefully cultivated since the beginning, Lu Xuan believed that his strength would skyrocket once it matures.

Other than this, the Red Cloud Pine had already started fruiting, and the Sword Grass was growing well. These two first-grade and second-grade spiritual plants made Lu Xuan look forward to them even more.

Three days later, Lu Xuan, along with a neighboring cultivator who loved spiritual wine, went to the restaurant set by Wang Shan for the banquet as per the wedding invitation.

The cultivator, surname Wu, loved to take a small sip of wine whenever he was free or not. Lu Xuan had met him a few times since he moved here, they were on familiar terms.

As it was just taking a concubine, the normal wedlock process wasn’t followed.

Lu Xuan inquired about the gift money from the Wu cultivator, turned his grief into appetite, indulged in drinking and eating at the banquet, swearing to eat back the spirit stones he gave.

“Thank you all for your presence, I raise a toast to everyone.”

During the banquet, wearing a big red gown, Wang Shan’s face showed a hint of excitement.

Finally, Lu Xuan got a chance to see his concubine.

Under the sheen of her marriage garb, her skin was like creamy jade and her face melded beauty and charm with a refined physique. Even through the loose dress, her curves were evident. There was a black beauty mark under her left eye, which added a few more points to her seductiveness.

“Wang Shan, after taking a concubine, he seems to have forgotten everything else. However, looking at him, he seems to have recuperated a lot recently, and his cultivation level has even improved a bit.”

After Wang Shan left, cultivator Wu set down his wine cup and sighed. A hint of jealousy could be heard in his voice.

“Wang Fellow Daoist bought his concubine from the black market. If you want, you can go and have a look. Maybe buy one too, and have the best of both worlds?”

Lu Xuan teased from the side.

“He’s the leader of the patrol guard, he has tons of ways to earn spirit stones. I’m not that generous to spare hundreds, thousands of spirit stones.”

Cultivator Wu replied, sounding somewhat downhearted.

After this interruption, Lu Xuan retreated back into his simple and quiet life.

Every day he would check on the Red-bearded Carps in the Spiritual Spring, feed them Spirit Rice and Strange Worms. Then took care of Pure Snow Lotuses with his not-so-mastered Ice System Technique and every once in a while, he would burn the Red Cloud Pine and electrify the Sword Grass.

Perhaps influenced by Wang Shan’s taking a concubine, he was more proactive in preventing the Blood Jade Ginsengs from joining together, making sure they didn’t take that first step.

In his spare time, he would cultivate his techniques, practice the few spells he knew, and research the Cultivation Pill Prescription he received earlier.

Occasionally, he would go to the Loose Cultivation Market to see if he could find one or two unknown spiritual seeds, or some spirit beasts’ eggs or young animals that caught his eye.

One day, as soon as he stepped out of his yard, he bumped into Wang Shan’s concubine.

“Greetings, Friend Lu.”

She held bags of spiritual medicines and spirit beast meat, and she gave a slight curtsy.

“Lady Wang, just returned from a big shopping trip in the market?”

Lu Xuan casually asked.

“Yes, I bought some nourishing spiritual medicines and spirit beast meat. Seeing how hard Wang is working on his cultivation, I want to help him nourish his body.”

Her voice was soft and sweet as she replied. A light blush could be seen on her face, her eyes shimmering as if her black beauty mark had moved.

“Indeed, she’s a professional. Seductive charm is in every move she makes. It seems that she’s not concerned about nourishing Wang’s body as she is about nourishing hers.”

Lu Xuan muttered to himself, though his facial expression didn’t change.

“Big Brother Wang has overworked himself, toiling day in and day out, he really should take some time to recuperate.”

After a few more casual exchanges, Lu Xuan made an excuse and left.

Lady Wang walked past Lu Xuan with graceful, doll-sized steps, causing a gust of fragrant wind to hit Lu Xuan’s face.

Achoo!

The fragrance was so strong that Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sneeze.
