I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

“Impossible!”

On hearing Lu Xuan’s request, He Yuntong reflexively refused.

just like elixir recipes, the method of condensing spirit seeds is of great value to Bai Cao Tang and has never been shared with outsiders.

“You can choose something else. If you still insist on spirit plants, when the time comes for us to grow new second-grade spirit plants, I could arrange for you to have more cultivation quotas.”

Lu Xuan shook his head. He wanted the second-grade spirit plants, but with his ability to grow high-grade spirit plants, they would come to him naturally. Compared to being given a fish, what he expected more was to be taught how to fish.

“Bai Cao Tang can condense many kinds of first and second-grade spirit seeds.

I just want the methods to condense one of the first-grade spirit plants, which is quite a humble demand.”

“AS for the method of condensing Spirit Firefly Grass Seed, it’s just incidental.” “Spirit Firefly Grass is one of the most common basic materials in Bai Cao Tang and is cultivated by many spirit plant masters. Even if I plant a lot, it won’t have any effect on the overall market.

Lu Xuan said casually, though in his heart, he valued the method of condensing Spirit Firefly Grass Seed even more, after all, it was the only one he found so far offering cultivation rewards. If he could master the method by himself, that would be the best case scenario.

“More importantly, I have three Red Cloud Pine Nuts in my hands, two of which are of superior quality, and one is of perfect quality, which can hardly be found among hundreds of others.’¹

“Taoist friend He, if you give them to Senior Sister Xu from Departure Mountain Sect, and satisfy her need for spirit pets, you will certainly leave a deep impression on her and build a strong bond.

“Senior Sister Xu is from a respectable Sect. Both her cultivation level and background are top-notch. It’s needless to say the benefits of forming a close relationship with her.”

Lu Xuan said with a persuasive tone.

He had not told anyone about the fact that he could grow high-quality Red Cloud Pine Nuts. But after the girl in red left, He Yuntong from Bai Cao Tang followed closely, wanting the remaining pine nuts in his hands as soon as she opened her mouth. Lu Xuan quickly figured out the connection.

On hearing Lu Xuan’s words, He Yuntong looked uncertain. She admitted that there was some truth in what Lu Xuan said. A loose cultivator spirit plant master, even if he knew how to condense spirit seeds, could only plant a limited number of spirit plants.

And opportunities to please Sect disciples like this one, who knew when another one would come along?

“Fine, I accept your terms.”

After much hesitation, she finally agreed.

“However, you must swear that without Bai Cao Tang’s permission, you will not spread the method of condensing spirit seeds to the outside world. The spirit seeds you form can only be used for your own cultivation and cannot be used for profit.”

“Of course.”

Lu Xuan agreed readily, as these two conditions were nothing to him.

He Yuntong took out a white paper with black patterns from her storage bag, operated her spiritual power, and the lines on the paper which looked like tadpoles began to move rapidly. Under her spiritual sense, they formed three lines of small black characters.

Then the paper began to bend and change, forming a small bird.

With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky and disappeared in a few breaths. A moment later, a middle-aged pill master arrived following the small bird’s path to find Lu Xuan’s courtyard.

“Nephew He, the transmission jade slip you requested is here. It already has two methods of condensing spirit seeds engraved on it. One is the way to condense the seed of the First-Grade Blood Jade Ginseng, and the other is the way to condense the non-ranked Spirit Firefly Grass Seed.” The middle-aged pill master handed a cyan jade slip to He Yuntong and mentioned humbly.

“Thank you, Uncle Master Zhang.”

He Yuntong nodded, taking the jade slip.

The middle-aged Pill Master politely withdrew.

“This is the transmission jade slip. It contains the method of condensing spirit seeds you need. Just put it on your forehead, and the relevant knowledge will be transferred into your mind. After it’s removed, the jade slip will disintegrate.”

“Once you’ve made your oath, you can start the transaction.

Lu Xuan took an oath to the Heart Demon, took the transmission jade slip from

He Yuntong, and passed the three Red Cloud Pine Nuts to her.

After the deal was done, He Yuntong and Manager He left without delay. Lu Xuan went back into his room, examining the cyan jade slip in his hand with a variety of feelings.

With the increase in the level of life, both cultivators and spiritual plants find it difficult to reproduce genetically.

Spirit seeds formed by spirit plants in the wild are quite rare and only form under specific circumstances once the spirit plant matures.

Through endless observations, investigations, and experiments spanning generations, spirit plant masters have gradually summated the method of condensing spirit seeds, allowing them to specifically and quantitatively condense spirit seeds and cultivate spirit plants on an immense scale.

Before, Lu Xuan was just a Loose Cultivator. It was only after obtaining the white light group by sheer luck that his destiny began to change bit by bit. Without a formal education in spirit plants, let alone practicing spirit seed condensation method that Sects and clans kept tightly in their hands.

“This is the base by which a Spirit Plant Master is established.”

He sighed, put the azure jade slip on his forehead and let his spiritual sense enter it.

immediately, a large stream of information surged into his sea of consciousness like floodwaters breaching a dam.

The jade slip quietly crumbled into dozens of pieces in his hand and fell on the floor.

It took a while before he could assimilate the wealth of information that had just entered his mind.

The timing, techniques, and special tricks of spirit seed condensation, they all rushed through his mind like a cinematic overview.

“Now that I know how to condense the Spirit Firefly Grass Seed, even if I leave the market in future and go somewhere new, I do not need to worry about not being able to find the Spirit Firefly Grass Seed.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself, deciding to keep some seeds for future use once the current batch of one hundred and twenty stalks of Spirit Firefly Grass matured.

As for the first-grade Blood Jade Ginseng Seed, it seemed more valuable than the Spirit Firefly Grass Seed on the surface, but in reality, it was merely an additional request by Lu Xuan, which could be replaced by other first-grade Spirit Seeds.

After digesting and absorbing the knowledge in his mind, Lu Xuan took out the book he got from the girl in red-“Common Spirit Plants and Their Handling Methods”.

Under the glow of the dim candlelight, he carefully flipped through the pages of the book.

The methods of harvesting and storing over a hundred types of spirit plants recorded in the book were of great use to him, allowing him to build a more systematic Spirit Plant Master System.

All sorts of peculiar methods for harvesting and storing various spirit plants opened his eyes, making him forget about the passage of time, as he was engrossed in the ocean of knowledge.

On the bed, the Cloud Leopard curled up, seemingly deep in sleep. However, whenever there’s a slight noise from Lu Xuan flipping through the pages of the book, the ears of the leopard would tremble slightly, indicating it was attentive to every move Lu Xuan made.

It wasn’t until midnight that Lu Xuan finished skimming through the book and began resting. The Leopard’s ears were finally at ease and became still. Outside the house, the spirit field was completely covered in dense white fog. The Grass Puppet, with its elongated legs, walked tirelessly between the furrows of the spirit field..
