I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

After exhausting the four Iron Claw Crab Juveniles to the point where their claws were weak, Lu Xuan finally let them rest, though he still seemed reluctant to do so.

He threw them into the Spiritual Spring Pool, rewarding them with a handful of Spirit Rice.

These Iron Claw Crabs are much more energetic than the Red-bearded Carp. It’s good to give them something to do, to wear down some of their energy,” Lu Xuan, smiling broadly, watched the exhausted Iron Claw Crab Juveniles slumped motionless at the bottom of the pool and thought to himself.

He sprinkled Fine Iron Ore near the Copper Bone Bamboo, allowing them to absorb it freely.

Reaching the four Blood Jade Ginsengs left to seed, the outer skin, like a stone casing a jade, seemed about to burst as the ginseng seeds grew.

Lu Xuan quickly stripped away the Spirit Seeds that the four Blood Jade Ginseng had formed, lightly processed them, and put them into a specially made Jade Box.

The four Blood Jade Ginsengs had produced twenty-eight spirit seeds, each one full and plump, just like blood jade.

What disappointed Lu Xuan slightly was that when he harvested the Blood Jade Ginseng after their Spirit Seed formation, he did not receive a Light Cluster reward.

“I suspect it’s because the ginseng consumes a large amount of plant spirit power when forming its Spirit Seeds. This causes it to lose its functionality and I cannot harvest it in its normal state. Thus, I got no Light Cluster reward,” Lu Xuan speculated. However, having obtained twenty-eight Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seeds, he was already quite satisfied.

What pleased him more was yet to come. When he went to check on the Two Grade Dark Marrow Mushroom, he discovered that it had fully matured.

“After careful cultivation for over a year, I’ve finally succeeded in planting my first Two Grade Spirit Plant,”

Lu Xuan was full of emotion. Non-grade Spirit Plants have a growth period of several months, First Grade Spirit Plants take about one year, and Two Grade Spirit Plants take about two years.

Back when he was in the North Quarter Courtyard of the Market, he had planted Dark Marrow Mushrooms and Sword Grass. After moving to a new yard for over a year, with his careful cultivation and the Tree Life Spell at minor proficiency to some extent speeding up their growth rate, he finally succeeded in growing them fully.

In the dense dark red mycelium, the Dark Marrow Mushroom hid, with its dark red viscous fluid flowing through a network like blood vessels.

Lu Xuan focused his mind on the mature Dark Marrow Mushroom and immediately knew it was of “Good Quality.”

“Given the average concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field and the extreme photophobia of the Dark Marrow Mushroom which I cannot completely avoid, coupled with the difficulty of getting high-quality Decayed Spiritual Wood, growing a “Good Quality” Two Grade Spirit Plant under such conditions is already quite an achievement,”

Lu Xuan felt a sense of accomplishment.

His spiritual power passed through countless dark red mycelium strands which reacted as though being stimulated, automatically dividing to either side and revealing the main body of the Dark Marrow Mushroom.

Lu Xuan carefully harvested it and immediately put it into a wooden box wrapped in black cloth, stored in his storage bag.

The Two Grade Dark Marrow Mushroom can be used to refine certain body refining elixirs or can be directly consumed to enhance a cultivator’s physique. Lu Xuan had not yet decided how to use it.

Right now, his focus was on the Light Cluster reward that the Dark Marrow Mushroom brought.

Lu Xuan looked expectantly at the location of the Dark Marrow Mushroom in the woodshed, where a fist-sized White Light Group was flickering slightly.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the Light Cluster.

Instantly, countless tiny spots of light flowed into Lu Xuan’s body like a rotating galaxy.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested a Dark Marrow Mushroom, obtained a Third Rank Magic Weapon: Concealed Spirit Cloak.]

With the thought passing, a garment as thin as cicada wings appeared in his hand.

The garment was a dark gold color, sometimes there were nearly transparent threads appearing on its surface, then suddenly they vanished.

[Concealed Spirit Cloak, Third Rank Magic Weapon, can hide a cultivator’s aura and spiritual power. When operating spiritual power, the cultivator can activate this magic tool to conceal oneself, the concealment time is short, during which a large amount of spiritual power is consumed. One can only move slowly, and one’s form will be exposed when attacked.]

“A Third Rank Magic Weapon!”

Lu Xuan was exhilarated. This was the second third-rank treasure he had obtained after the Three Grade Pure Jade.

Furthermore, its effectiveness was not inferior.

Lu Xuan, with his ordinary qualifications, had raised his cultivation level to the Qi Cultivating Seventh Layer in a short time. Naturally, he dared not expose his real cultivation level in a familiar environment.

Moreover, the concealment method he previously obtained might become ineffectual as his cultivation level increased and he encountered more high-tier Qi cultivators.

This Hidden Spirit Cloak perfectly compensated for this. As a third-rank magic artifact, it was Under Foundation Establishment Category. Even if cultivators in the early to mid Foundation Establishment stage scrutinized him, they would hardly be able to detect it.

Lu Xuan immediately undressed and put on the dark golden cloak, infusing spiritual power into it.

Suddenly, a huge suction force came from the interior of the Hidden Spirit Cloak, causing a significant chunk of Lu Xuan’s spiritual power to disappear instantly.

The transparent threads on the dark golden cloak started to move rapidly. After a few moments, Lu Xuan felt like his vision was covered by a thin special material.

He got a vague feeling of estrangement and unreality from the world in front of him.

Lu Xuan came to the edge of the Spiritual Spring Pool and looked down.

He saw the four Iron Claw Crab juveniles resting quietly at the bottom of the pool. The water was clear, with strands of spiritual energy wafting upwards. There was no reflection of Lu Xuan on the water surface.

The Cloud Leopard nearby was stunned, seeing Lu Xuan suddenly disappear. Its green eyes, usually devoid of emotion, were blankly looking around in confusion.

“Roar?? ”

It gave a low roar, a note of urgency in its voice.

Lu Xuan quickly exited the stealth state and came to the Cloud Leopard, pulling its ear tufts of grey-white hair.

The Cloud Leopard regained its elegant posture, gave Lu Xuan a cold stare, and strolled to somewhere else.

Lu Xuan meanwhile was summing up his experiences of using the Rank Three Concealed Spirit Wear.

“The artifact can cover the entire body, but its range is limited, confined to the area around the body.”

The speed at which spiritual power is consumed is too fast. For a Qi practitioner at the seventh layer to use a third-rank magic weapon in the Foundation Establishment stage is still a bit forced.”

“However, the effect is quite good. Being able to hide oneself can help me avoid some risks.”

A subtle smile emerged at the comers of Lu Xuan’s mouth; he had a strange feeling that he was familiar with the act of concealing himself.

“What an invisible cultivation world….”

He complained once, but instead of immediately putting away the Hidden Spirit Cloak, he left it on his body and covered it with a green shirt.

The Hidden Spirit Cloak was as thin as a cicada’s wing and as light as nothing.

There was almost no feeling when wearing it.

The Two Grade Dark Marrow Mushroom has already matured; the same grade Sword Grass should also be almost there.”

Lu Xuan gazed at the bland and unpretentious Two Grade Sword Grass on the side, which was devoid of Sword Intent, and thought in his heart.

At this moment, the Sword Grass was as indistinguishable as an ordinary sword blade. It was about three feet long, pitch black, standing straight, with its sword tip pointing towards the sky.

“Almost there, almost there.”

Lu Xuan’s spirit focused on the Sword Grass. Seeing the progress bar below it that was about to be filled, he was greatly anticipating it.

He took a tour of his Spirit Field. In the Spirit Firefly Grass area, one hundred and twenty Spirit Firefly Grasses have entered the rapid maturation stage. Lu Xuan carefully searched and found fifteen fully mature Spirit Firefly Grasses…
