I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 497: Chapter 495: Caring for the Health of the Spirit Beast_1

Regardless of the commotion caused among the Inner Sect Disciples by the demon beast flesh and blood task at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Lu Xuan went back to his cave dwelling of his own accord.

“I’m happy as long as I can be a Spirit Plant Master.”

“Going out to hunt demon beasts and the like, it’s better to leave it to the suitable individuals.”

Lu Xuan sighed in his heart.

The task he set up has extremely high requirements. A fourth grade demon beast already possesses the strength of a Foundation Establishment Mid to Late-term cultivator. Even if one is from a Great Sect, they can’t have absolute confidence in killing it while ensuring their own safety.

For cultivators in the Foundation Establishment First-term, the difficulties are even higher. It’s likely that several of them will need to join forces to kill a fourth grade demon beast.

Therefore, he estimates that the number of sect members who can get the Sword Nurturing Gourd or Dust Removal Pill from him will not be too large.

As for the problems of subsequent cultivation of the Spirit of Flesh and the Blood Scourge Flower, and other underworld spiritual plants, after the demon envoy, there is completely no need to worry.

“If it’s not enough, there is still the lottery draw of the Light Cluster!”

Lu Xuan went to the Spiritual Field Area where the Jade Dew Fruits were planted.

A new batch of Jade Dew Fruits had sprouted light white tender buds, each bud had a pure and flawless transparent dew drop hanging at the tip, emitting a refreshing spiritual energy that refreshed the heart.

With Lu Xuan’s spiritual power surging, clouds in the sky above the Spiritual Field changed. It was as if strands of Spirit Rain were falling, dripping into the Spirit Soil and slowly infiltrating the newly emerged Jade Dew Fruit Spirit Plant.

Following closely behind him, the Demonic Vine would occasionally stretch out a section of grey vine that looked like a tentacle, leaving a light grey trace of mucus next to the tender buds of the Jade Dew Fruit.

“It needs to develop a taste from a young age.”

Lu Xuan, sensing the thought of this peculiar vine that was half demon beast and half spirit plant, laughed helplessly.

Although this Demonic Vine had not really enjoyed the spirit plants in the cave dwelling, it has always been persistent. When it sees a spirit plant it likes, it can’t help but come over to mark it.

The grey vine followed him all the way to the recently planted Crimson Flame Gourd.

Half an acre of light red Flame Soil, with the Crimson Flame Gourd Spirit Seed deeply buried within.

Lu Xuan felt the spirit seed slowly absorbing the fire spirit aura from the flame soil. It seemed as if it was concealing a cluster of flame inside, ready to erupt at any time.

He casually cast a low-level fire formula method, under the exquisite control of the “Playing With Flame Jue”, the flame condensed into silk-like strands and merged into the spirit seed.

The Demonic Vine stealthily reached out its grey vine towards the Flame Soil when Lu Xuan was not paying attention.

Because of the fire spirit aura, the temperature of the Flame Soil was higher than that of ordinary Spirit Soil by a lot. As soon as the tip of the vine touched the surface of the Flame Soil, it was severely scorched and withdrawn at a speed several times faster than before.

“Serves you right for being so gluttonous.”

Lu Xuan chuckled.

The Demonic Vine’s vine was stretching and contracting. Soon, it seemed to have figured out a solution. It reached out directly to the edge of the Flame Soil, bypassing the Flame Soil area, and formed an arch over the spirit seed, slowly secreting a drop of grey mucus.

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but facepalm. The spiritual intelligence of this Demonic Vine was quite beyond his expectations—it had thought of such a solution.

After cultivating all the spirit plants in the Spiritual Field, when Lu Xuan was planning to return to his room for practice, a familiar figure came to visit.

“Elder Brother Yang, long time no see. How have you been?”

Opening up the formation outside his cave dwelling and seeing the visitor, a warm smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.

“Junior Brother Lu, everything has been well, thanks to your thoughts.”

A scholarly middle-aged man entered the cave dwelling; it was Yang Qingfeng, whom Lu Xuan had been acquainted with for a long time. He was a Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivator.

Lu Xuan had once helped him solve the feeding problem of the Ink-Scaled Jiao (Dragon Serpent) in his hand, and finally found out that it was a Hybrid Flood Dragon that loved spirit fruits instead of flesh and blood.

To return the favor, Yang Qingfeng recommended Lu Xuan to solve the breeding problem of the Ancient Exotic Yin Yang Koi Fish, which was raised by Ge Pu from the Authentic Teachings in the sect.

They had a good relationship between them.

“I hadn’t expected that Junior Brother Lu, who was an Outer Sect Disciple back then, has already reached the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Mid-term.”

“Throughout these years, Junior Brother has progressed swiftly while I have been stuck in the same place.”

Yang Qing Feng reminisced about the scene when he first met Lu Xuan, feeling a thousand emotions welling up in his heart.

The stark contrast between the two of them made him feel a sense of despair.

“It’s mere luck, my luck. With the foundation you’ve built up over the years, Elder Brother, I believe you’ll soon break through to the Foundation Establishment Late-term.”

Lu Xuan laughed, saying that if the middle-aged scholar in front of him knew that he had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late-term, he might develop a Heart Demon on the spot.

As he chatted with the scholar, he led him into the courtyard.

“I came today because I have something to discuss with Junior Brother Lu.”

The middle-aged scholar got straight to the point after entering the courtyard and spoke to Lu Xuan.

“Please speak, Elder Brother Yang.”

Lu Xuan poured a full glass of Flowing Cloud Juice from a bottle gifted by the Fire Cloud Cave and handed it to the middle-aged scholar.

“Did Junior Brother issue a task in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall today to collect the flesh and blood of the Fourth Grade Demon Beast?”

“Indeed, I did.”

Lu Xuan nodded in admission.

“Honestly, I am very interested in the Dust Removal Pill that Junior Brother has. I would like to obtain one to cleanse the impure energy inside my body, thereby increasing the successful rate of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Late-term.”

“Upon hearing about this, I immediately contacted many familiar acquaintances and exchanged three relatively intact Demon Beast corpses from several fellow sect members who had recently returned to the Sect.”

Yang Qing Feng flicked his hand, and the corpses of three Fourth Grade Demon Beasts fell into the courtyard, their bodies covered with a thin layer frost. Through his Spiritual Sense, he could still sense the strong vitality in their flesh and blood.

“I wonder if these three Demon Beasts could be exchanged for one Dust Removal Pill from Junior Brother?”

Yang Qing Feng asked with a somewhat anxious expression.

“No problem at all. If Elder Brother Yang wants to exchange for Dust Removal Pills or other treasures in the mission content in the future, you can come directly to me.”

Lu Xuan took out an Elixir with clear fragrance circulating around it and gave it to the middle-aged scholar.

“Thank you very much, Junior Brother Lu. However, these three Fourth Grade Demon Beasts have cost me a lot. Getting one Pill is already satisfying.”

Yang Qing Feng looked pleased as he thanked Lu and received the Dust Removal Pill.

“By the way, Junior Brother Lu, you haven’t been to the Thousand Dragon Lake for a while. Many fellow disciples at Thousand Dragon Lake miss the days when you used to give health checks to the Flood Dragons they were raising.”

After pausing, he said to Lu Xuan.

“I have been negligent. I was staying in the Blessed Land recently and was tied up with many things. I didn’t have time. I will definitely visit soon and check the Flood Dragons for my fellow disciples.”

Lu Xuan did not expect Yang Qing Feng to bring it up actively. In his heart, he was looking forward to it.

“Thank you so much, Junior Brother Lu.”

“Junior Brother, already at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base level, has a great reputation in the Sect. You are still willing to take a lot of trouble to draw blood and check the health for those monsters. I truly admire you.”

Yang Qing Feng looked solemn and bowed his hands in salutation.

“I have no choice.”

Lu Xuan laughed freely.

“Those Flood Dragons and Chilongs in Thousand Dragon Lake belong to our Sect. As a cultivator of the Sky Sword Sect and having a little bit of skill in Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts, it’s only right and proper that I take good care of the health problems of the Spirit Beasts of our Sect.”
