I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

“Come down.”

Lu Xuan returned to the courtyard with three Qingmiao spirit tea seedlings and spoke to the Cloud Leopard Juvenile Beast that was perched on his shoulder.

The Cloud Leopard, its blue-green eyes coldly regarding Lu Xuan, gently descended to the ground and headed straight for the spiritual spring pool.

Lu Xuan went to a corner of the spirit field, sectioned off a large part of the virgin spirit soil, and using the Earth Pulling Technique, created three small pits in the spirit field. He gently placed the three Qingmiao spirit tea seedlings in the pits.

After planting the Qingmiao spirit tea, his attention was focused on the small tea seedlings.

“Only the purest water can engender the most delicate tea.”

“To water the tea seedlings with spirit spring water would be even better.”

“Qingmiao spirit tea embodies a clear spirit in its branches and leaves. You cannot let nefarious beings or filthy objects linger around the tea seedlings for too long, or they will affect the growth of the tea seedlings.”

An insight flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind as he instantly understood the needs of the Qingmiao spirit tea seedlings and precautions to take.

“Water with spirit spring… That’s not difficult. There just so happens to be a pool of a spiritual spring in this courtyard, and a small amount of spring water is constantly seeping from the earth, which is more than enough to nourish the three Qingmiao spirit tea seedlings.”

“As for the nefarious, filthy things, I, Lu Xuan, am clean and innocent, filled with righteous Qi; naturally, I can’t be infected by those things.”

“Hmm, from now on, I should try to prevent the Wang Mountain Couple from entering the courtyard as much as possible, so as not to pollute my spiritual tea.”

After using the Spirit Rain Technique to lavish the Qingmiao Spirit Tea seedlings, he proceeded to another corner of the Spirit field.

In the corner of the Spirit Field, there was a fog cluster about half a meter in length and width.

The mist was hazy and hard to see clearly, even with his spiritual sense felt slightly stagnant.

The third-grade Fantasy Smoke Fruit seemed to transform into a smoky mist, merging with the lingering fumes.

“Oh, you’re playing hide-and-seek with me.”

Lu Xuan focused his mind in the mist, constantly seeking, and soon learned the location of the Fantasy Smoke Fruit.

After applying the Spirit Rain Technique, the faint mist gently churned then condensed, revealing the seedling of the Fantasy Smoke Fruit.

After nourishing the Fantasy Smoke Fruit, Lu Xuan made another round in the Spirit Field, confirming each spirit plant was growing well, then returned to his house.

Once back, he sat at the table, tallying up the spirit stones he had in hand.

The twenty-two Spirit Firefly Grass plants he took with him were exchanged for seventy-seven spirit stones. The three Qingmiao Spirit Tea seedlings cost sixty spirit stones. Fortunately, three Spirit Plant Masters voluntarily offered a hundred spirit stones, making a net gain of about a hundred and twenty spirit stones.

In addition to what was in his hand, his total wealth was over two hundred spirit stones.

“Over two hundred spirit stones, plus the Spirit Firefly Grass is maturing quickly, and the Red Cloud Pine will mature soon. My wealth is about to surge.” Lu Xuan gazed at the small heap of spirit stones overflowing with spiritual energy on the table, thinking exuberantly.

“Little Brother Lu, are you home? My wife has prepared a feast. Why not come over and join me for a drink?”

The call came from outside the courtyard. It came from Wang Shan.

Lu Xuan was not sure whether it was his perception at play, but the voice sounded somewhat eager.

With his hair standing on end, the Slivered Silver Blade quietly split into dozens of silver fragments, and a Second-Grade Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talisman slipped into his palm.

“Big Brother Wang, I am a bit tired from cultivating spiritual plants today and have a headache. I won’t come over today. I’ll taste your wife’s cooking another time.”

Wang Shan listened to Lu Xuan’s words, then left.

At the Wang Family home,

There was a mahogany table in the center of the hall with more than ten dishes on it, including rare ingredients like Demon Beast Meat. Wang Shan’s concubine sits at the table quietly with her head down.

“Lu Xuan isn’t feeling well and couldn’t make it. So it’ll be just the two of us eating.”

“Yes, as you wish, master.”

Lady Wang replied softly before standing up to serve Wang Shan his meal.

“Thank you, my lady.”

Watching the pale, soft feet that extended towards him, Wang Shan felt content.

When he initially bought this concubine from the black market, he only wanted to alleviate his loneliness. However, he was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

After bringing this concubine home, her gentleness and charm brought Wang Shan extreme pleasure. He became so engrossed that he hardly visited the pleasure house lately.

Importantly, he had an inkling that he might soon break through to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.

His fondness increased for the concubine. Enjoying her company day and night, he couldn’t get enough.

“My lady, you’ve worked hard.”

He gently stroked her tender, fair hand and spoke softly.

“Would master be unwilling to let me work so hard?”

Lady Wang raised her head, her eyes shimmering with allure, enhanced by a mole near the corner of her eye.

Of course, I cherish you. How can I bear seeing you work so hard?”

“Then, what if I’m pregnant? I’ve heard that pregnancy is very painful and tormenting.”

Lady Wang asked pitifully.

“Hmm…”

While Wang Shan hesitated, Lady Wang subtly pulled her hand away, revealing a faint smile.

“Why don’t you have the baby for me!”

Barely pondering a refusal, Wang Shan suddenly felt a peculiar yearning within him as if something inside him wants to breed.

“Sure!”

This longing was so potent that it overwhelmed his thoughts and spiritual sense, causing him to unconsciously agree.

As the words left his lips, his stomach started to rumble. His belly started growing at a visible rate while his limbs, chest, and back shrank.

In a short span, his belly inflated like a large sphere. Wang Shan’s eyes sunk into sockets, revealing a hint of madness. His body had become incredibly shrivelled with nothing but a layer of skin draped over his bones.

“My lord, have my baby for me!”

Lady Wang’s face flushed, and she stared obsessively at Wang Shan’s enormous belly.

At the same time, just as Wang Shan started to change, a nearly translucent parasite shot out from a cracked Spirit Wood in the yard.

The parasite was about two inches long with six wings that were as delicate as cicada wings, decorated with faint patterns.

Currently, the patterns on the wings turned black as Wang Shan transformed, causing the Hexaptera Parasite to whimper nervously.

Located miles away, at the Enforcement Hall.

Ling Peng, a high-grade Qi practitioner, watched the restless Hexaptera

Parasite with a grave expression.

“It’s finally shown up.”

The Hexaptera Parasite in front of him was known for its excellent concealment capabilities. It would start to change and produce intense reactions when it detected Evil Spite Qi nearby.

The stronger the Evil Spite Qi, the more significant the reaction would be.

After learning about the possibility of Wang Shan being possessed by a Demon Envoy, he quietly conducted an investigation but gained nothing. Thus, he left a Hexaptera Parasite in the Wang Family’s yard to monitor the state of the Wang Family constantly.

After waiting for a few days, he finally witnessed the Demon Envoy’s appearance.

Senior Brother, I’m afraid I don’t have full assurances to deal with it by myself.

Will you please accompany me? Judging by the worm’s reaction, it’s going to be tough.”

He turned to look at a young cultivator next to him, a lightning scar centered on his forehead flickered occasionally with electric flashes..
