I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

On the large, cobalt stone square.

Lu Xuan was squinting, looking up at the stone sword, a hundred feet high in front of him.

“Three months since our last meeting.”

He withdrew his gaze and sighed silently in his heart.

The hundred-foot stone sword was the typical landmark of Sword Gate Town. Lu Xuan remembered the shock he felt when he first saw the sword after disembarking the All Things Ship.

In just over three months, he returned to it, this time as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, and his perception of the stone sword was quite different.

After entering the Sky Sword Sect, he had always stayed within the sect, never visiting the nearby Sword Gate Town, not to mention exploring any secret land.

Therefore, the hustle and bustle of various pedestrians on the street gave him a slight sense of unreality.

The further he went, the more shops lined both sides of the spacious street.

Since he was near the Sky Sword Sect, Lu Xuan did not bother to disguise himself. He was dressed in the regular sky-blue standard Daoist robe, and the black small sword engraved on his cuffs added a touch of extraordinary temperament.

He glanced at the lined-up shops and eventually settled on a place he was more familiar with, the Wanbao Building.

As soon as he entered the main hall on the first floor, a pretty female cultivator greeted him.

Upon seeing the standard Daoist robe of the Sky Sword Sect worn by Lu Xuan, her eyes showed a trace of imperceptible reverence.

“Elder, is there anything this girl can assist you with?”

The beautiful female cultivator at the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation lowered her head and asked with utmost respect.

“I want to sell some spirit plants, a large quantity of Spirit Firefly Grass, and some scarce Second-Level Spirit Plants, get someone in charge over.”

The beautiful female cultivator nodded her head and quickly brought over an elder at the “Qi Practitioner Intermediate Level”.

“The old man greets the young master, may I know how to address you?”

“No need to be so formal, just call me Lu Xuan.”

Lu Xuan laughed as he spoke.

“So it’s Friend Lu, what kind of spirit plants does Friend Lu want to sell?”

“I have some Spirit Firefly Grass without rank, the quality is pretty good, and also a few second-grade spirit plants.”

Lu Xuan took out more than ten white jade long boxes from his storage bag, opened them all at once, revealing the one hundred and fifty mature Spirit Firefly Grass inside.

“Superior quality, indeed it’s superior quality, there’s even a stalk of Perfect Grade Spirit Firefly Grass.”

The elder carefully inspected the quality of the Spirit Firefly Grass, his mouth expressing great admiration.

“It’s again Perfect Grade, when did Perfect Grade spirit plants become so common?”

He exclaimed with astonishment on his face. Though the Spirit Firefly Grass was only without rank, with its cultivation difficulty relatively low, it wasn’t easy to acquire a Perfect Grade Spirit Plant.

In front of him, among the Spirit Firefly Grass brought by this young cultivator from the Sky Sword Sect, he found one Perfect Grade plant for every four or five plants, and most of them were of Superior Quality. Such a high rate surprised him.

“To cultivate Spirit Firefly Grass of such high quality, Friend Lu is indeed from a prestigious and orthodox sect.”

“Mainly because the spiritual energy within the sect is conducive to the growth of Spirit Plants.”

Lu Xuan replied humbly.

Soon, the elder priced these one hundred and fifty Spirit Firefly Grass at five hundred and eighty Spirit Stones, averaging nearly four Spirit Stones per plant.

Lu Xuan felt the price was reasonable, and without much deliberation, he nodded his agreement.

“I also have a few leaves of Second Grade Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea here, how much would your store offer?”

After stowing away five hundred and eighty Spirit Stones, he took out two aromatic leaves of the Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea from his storage bag and asked the elder.

“Oh? Is it the Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea that can clear the mind and offer a certain degree of resistance to invasion by the Demon Envoy?”

The elder widened his eyes, leaned closer to the two leaves of Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea, took a deep breath, and looked intoxicated.

“A whiff of it has a refreshing effect, indeed a great treasure!”

“Good quality, rare among second-grade spirit plants.”

Lu Xuan nodded. In total, he had harvested seventeen leaves of the Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea. Among them, eleven leaves were of good quality, while six were of superior quality. He had brought out two leaves of good quality.

“The ordinary quality Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea is normally bought by our Wanbao Building for eighty spirit stones per leaf. As for your good quality spiritual tea leaves, I can authentically buy them for one hundred spirit stones per leaf.”

Said the elderly man.

Lu Xuan fell into silence.

Among the same rank of treasures, the prices of spirit plants, spirit ores, demon beast materials and so on, tend to be on the lower side. And hitherto, Wanbao Building is a purchaser, the price is relatively fair.

“Agreed.”

The elderly man handed Lu Xuan a cloth bag filled with the exact spirit stones, flashing a grin across his face.

“Friend Lu, do you have any other second-grade spirit plants similar to Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea?”

Lu Xuan shook his head.

“If I have any, we will have a priority for your building.” Lu Xuan planned to keep the remaining Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea leaves and the Dark Marrow Mushrooms as bargaining chips for future treasure exchanges with other Sect disciples, there’s no rush to sell them off.

“By the way, may I ask, does the Wanbao Building have any Yin Soul Resentment Devices?”

He thought of the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom that was always in the storage bag, wondering if he could find any resentful spirits here to try and wake them up for cultivation.

“Yin Soul Resentment type devices? Those are rarely seen.”

“Its refining method is usually vicious and ruthless, it harms the heavens and is often only used by unrestrained evil cultivators to refine such devices.”

“However, Friend Lu has good luck. We just so happen to have one second-grade Yin Soul Tool in our building.”

“Is that so? Could you please take me over to have a look?” Lu Xuan inquired with curiosity.

He followed the elderly man to a special counter.

The counter was filled with peculiar items, each having a different shape, exuding an eerie array of yin qi, at first glance these are obviously not legitimate artifacts.

There were High-tier Qi Cultivators standing guard around the corner, an indication of the high value of the special counter’s items.

The elderly man took out an ancient bell from the counter. The bell was covered in intricate and complicated patterns, and with each jingle, hundreds of Yin Souls Resentment emerged from the patterns, silently wailing in pain.

“The Resentful Soul Bell, Second Grade Magical Artifacts, it contains hundreds or even thousands of Yin Souls Resentment.”

“By shaking the bell, it can launch a mental attack on a single target or within a fan-shaped area. Also, it can control the Resentful Will within the Resentful Soul Bell to attack cultivators.”

The elderly man explained in detail to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan took the old and battered Resentful Soul Bell. The bell was made from an unknown material that emanated a cold aura when held in hand.

Through the inner wall of the Resentful Soul Bell, you could see the hundreds or thousands of nearly transparent Resentful Will, packed densely together.

Upon sensing Lu Xuan’s gaze, all the Yin Souls became agitated at once, turning their heads to look at him in unison. The scene was disturbingly eerie.

“So many Resentful Spirits, waking up the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom shouldn’t be a problem, maybe these can even be cultivated for a while.”

Lu Xuan felt satisfied.

“Good, I’m satisfied with this Resentful Soul Bell, how many spirit stones will it need?”

“If Friend Lu wants it, you can take it for two hundred and thirty spirit stones.”

Lu Xuan nodded. He was not interested in the device itself, but in the number of resentful souls inside the device.

Using them to wake up the sleeping third-level Ghost Face Stone Mushrooms would save him the time and effort of finding Yin Souls Resentment. For two hundred and thirty spirit stones, considering the difficulty of finding such Resentful Soul Devices near the Sky Sword Sect, he agreed.

“Deal..”
