I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

“Spirit Firefly Grass remains reliable. It’s easy to grow in large amounts, requiring a simple cultivation method, and most importantly, it awards cultivation points.”

Lu Xuan looked around his spiritual field. Each spirit plant had its own unique properties: the second-grade Sword Grass known as Iron Straight Grass, the first-grade Blood Jade Ginseng that desired to reside in darkness and decay, the second-grade Dark Marrow Mushroom that only needed spiritual spring water for irrigation, and others…

In this regard, Spirit Firefly Grass is quite low-maintenance.

Lu Xuan made a round in the area where the Spirit Firefly Grass grew, harvesting twelve mature plants.

Among them, four were of good quality, six were of superior quality, and the remaining two were of perfect grade.

More than half of the Spirit Firefly Grass in the field has been harvested. From a total of one hundred, only thirty-nine plants were left, and they are nearing maturity.

Among the twelve white light clusters that appeared, four were cultivation rewards: two granting six months of cultivation progress, and two granting nine months, amounting to two and a half years of cultivation progress in total.

“TWO and a half years again, seems like I have some affinity with this number.” Lu Xuan remembered that this was not the first time he received a reward of two and a half years of cultivation progress.

He channeled his spiritual power, softening the surging energy to further solidify his Cultivation Qi Level Six.

The three white light clusters contained three first-grade talismans: a Sword Qi Talisman, an Evil Banishing Talisman, and an Explosion Flame Talisman. Lu Xuan stored all of them in his storage bag.

Three low-grade formula methods emerged from a different set of three white light clusters: two Tree Life Spells and one Earth Pulling Technique.

Lu Xuan absorbed them and gained a deeper understanding of both methods. His knowledge of the Earth Pulling Technique reached the minor proficiency boundary, while his Tree Life spell had reached the mastery realm, allowing him to accumulate Wood-element spiritual power more quickly and in larger quantities, improving the effects of nurturing spirit plants.

The two white light clusters that resulted from the two perfect quality Spirit Firefly Grass contained a first-grade Golden Sword Technique, and after the cluster merged with Lu Xuan, he had an epiphany, deepening his understanding of this sword technique.

With a thought, a golden sword qi flew from his fingertip. The sword qi, as if alive, whirled around Lu Xuan, the speed increasing with each round, leaving a trail of golden phantom images, almost as though a golden shield had been raised with Lu Xuan standing at its heart.

After a dozen or so breaths, the sword qi gradually dissipated, and the golden phantoms left behind faded and vanished.

“Not only is the casting speed almost instantaneous, but I also have more control over the sword qi, able to manipulate it as easily as flexing my arm. Moreover, the sword qi can remain in the outside world for a longer time,” Lu Xuan said, reflecting on the changes brought about by the increased understanding of the Golden Sword Technique.

The other white cluster gave him another first-grade Qi Cultivating Pill recipe, improving his understanding of how to concoct this pill.

“Perhaps I should save up a few more pill formula experience packages. Once I begin concocting pills, I will be able to produce those with the highest success rate and best quality,” Lu Xuan suggested, thinking that since he had already consumed several pill formulas, a few more wouldn’t hurt.

With twenty-six mature Spirit Firefly Grasses in his storage bag and running out of jade boxes to store them, Lu Xuan decided to pay a visit to ‘Bai Cao Tang’ and check if there was any snake-type demonic beast blood available at the Loose Cultivation Market.

In the aromatic Bai Cao Tang grand hall, Manager He saw Lu Xuan approaching from a distance and set aside his current affairs. “Kid Lu, you’re here? How’s the quality of your herbs this time?” “The quality is, of course, excellent. It’s just a matter of how many spirit stones you have at your disposal,” Lu Xuan said, slapping his palm on the wooden counter before Manager He and raising an eyebrow.

“Are you saying that your spirit plants are going to drain ‘Bai Cao Tang’ of its spirit stones? One percent? Or one thousandth?’

“Old He, ‘Bai Cao Tang’ must be quite wealthy,” Lu Xuan said, a beaming smile on his face as he accepted a cup of hot spiritual tea from the attendant.

“Please, have some tea.”

“At least you have some tact,” Manager He conceded.

“Could you show me the Spirit Firefly Grass you brought?”

Lu Xuan lost his smile, straightened his face, and took out the twenty-six mature Spirit Firefly Grass he had.

The Red Cloud Pine Nut was not particularly suitable for refining elixirs, so Lu Xuan decided to keep it first and sell it to other cultivators at the right time.

“Top grade, top grade, perfect…”

The thin old man kept nodding, examining the Spirit Firefly Grass while counting and classifying them according to their different qualities.

“In total, we have twenty-six Spirit Firefly Grass plants, of which eight are of good quality, thirteen are of superior quality, and five are of perfect grade.” His familiarity with Lu Xuan’s performance meant he no longer found it surprising. After glancing at Lu Xuan and seeing no objection, he continued. “The price remains the same. For each Grass of good quality, three Spirit Stones and fifty Broken Spirits; for each of superior quality, an additional twenty Broken Spirits; and for each perfect grade, an additional thirty Broken Spirits.”

“So, the total amount is ninety-six Spirit Stones and ten Broken Spirits, right?” “Your mind is sharp, there’s no mistake, of course.

Lu Xuan took the ninety-plus Spirit Stones given by the old man, gave them a quick glance with his Spiritual Sense, and put them into his storage bag. After a brief conversation with the thin old man, he planned to leave.

“Friend Lu, please wait a moment.”

just as he walked out the door of ‘Bai Cao Tang’, a somewhat familiar voice called Lu Xuan.

As Lu Xuan turned back, a middle-aged cultivator of the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer was waiting by the door, looking somewhat anxious.

It was one of the three Spirit Plant Masters who had previously bought the high-grade Spirit Plant cultivation method from Lu Xuan.

“Friend Zhou, do you need something?”

Lu Xuan asked.

“Friend Lu, I saw the Spirit Firefly Grass you just gave to Manager He, and the quality was indeed brilliant, with the lowest grade being good, and even several of perfect grade.”

The middle-aged cultivator said with a sheepish smile.

“If you have something to say, please speak straightly.’

Lu Xuan noticed something unusual in his tone and said, unperturbed.

“Here’S the thing, after I and my two friends learned your planting method last time, we devoted most of our cultivation time to cultivating the Spirit Firefly Grass.”

■’just recently, a batch of Spirit Firefly Grass matured, but the results seem quite limited, far from your quality.”

“How many Spirit Firefly Grass did you harvest? It hasn’t been long since you started intensive cultivation, right?”

“Twenty plants were harvested at once. As for intensive cultivation as you instructed, it’s been less than seven days.”

“Twenty plants of Spirit Firefly Grass isn’t much, so it doesn’t prove anything. Of course, the main reason is that you’ve been cultivating intensively for too short a time.”

-When I cultivate Spirit Plants, I use that method from the moment the seed enters the Spirit Soil until it matures. That takes about two to three months. You, Friend Zhou, have only been doing it for seven days. It seems you are a bit too anxious.”

Lu Xuan indifferently said.

“But… the quality of my Spirit Firefly Grass compared to yours is far inferior!” “More than half of yours are of superior quality, and there are quite a few of perfect grade as well, while my superior grade ones are rare.” The middle-aged cultivator mumbled for a while, and then said.

“So, you suspect that I’m hiding something? Not telling you everything?”

Lu Xuan’s face turned cold..
