I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Elder Brother, you flatter me. It was merely a bit of luck.”

“Moreover, the cultivation of the sword grass previously had some unexpected factors. I’m not sure if I can cultivate it successfully again.”

Lu Xuan said modestly.

“Junior Brother Lu, there is no problem at all.”

The old farmer monk said with a smile. Lu Xuan had visited the Agricultural Hall twice, once buying second-grade Flowing Light Wood and Yin Locust Tree with spirit stones, and the second time exchanging sword seals for third-grade Sword Nurturing Gourd. This had left a deep impression on him, and he knew well the depth of Lu Xuan’s knowledge in spiritual plant cultivation.

I would like to thank Elder Brother for helping me with the Sword Grass.”

Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Xuan did not stay long. He left the Agricultural Department Hall and returned to his cave mansion.

In the room, he took out two Sword Grass spirit seeds from his storage bag and placed them on the table.

Without spending a single Sword Seal, I have obtained two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds. The Hall Master of the Agricultural Department Hall was indeed very generous,” he noted.

As for these two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, he planned to cultivate carefully to improve quality and increase his standing with the Hall Master. Once he becomes an Inner Sect Disciple, he can qualify to plant a large number of sword grasses.

He went to the Spirit Field, found an empty area, and used the Earth Pulling Technique to plant the two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds separately.

[Sword Grass, Second-Level Spirit Plant. Mature plants look like blades, sharp and hard. Born as Innate Sword Implements, they can be used directly or to refine Flying Swords.]

After planting the Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, his mind focused on the seeds, and an information flashed in his mind.

A thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind, and a hair-thin golden Sword Qi emerged from his body like a swimming fish, drilling into the shallow Spirit Soil and penetrating into the Sword Grass Spirit Seed.

Immediately after, he did the same for the second Sword Grass Spirit Seed, inputting a tiny Geng Metal Sword Qi.

After planting the two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, there were suddenly two more high-grade spiritual plants in his Spirit Field. It required more time and spiritual power to plant and cultivate them.

Lu Xuan relished it and checked his Spirit Field several times a day to ensure all the plants were growing well.

He was still undertaking the task of looking after the dragons and pythons in the Thousand Dragon Lake. During this period, two first-grade Giant Python Asuras evolved to second grade, earning Lu Xuan twenty Sword Seal rewards.

Of the remaining dragons, the second-grade Two-Headed Serpent ate ample suitable Demon Beast Meat daily and often led other dragons and pythons oui for fights, claiming territory. Thus providing adequate exercise for a possible promotion to the third stage.

Lu Xuan, riding his Spirit Crane, arrived at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Under the huge light screen, various task information blinked. Many Outer Sect Disciples waited below the light screen selecting suitable tasks.

“Junior Brother Lu, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

As Lu Xuan was collecting information from the light screen, a familiar voice rang out from nearby.

Looking in the direction of the voice, Xu Shaoze was smiling at him.

“So it’s Elder Brother Xu.”

Seeing his neighbor, Lu Xuan stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

“Junior Brother Lu, have you found a task you like?”

Xu Shaoze with a determined face asked curiously.

“No, not yet.” Lu Xuan laughed and shook his head.

Seeing this, Xu Shaoze considered for a moment.

“What about taking on a task with me? The task is in a city of Loose Cultivators outside the Sect, where a Demon Envoy has been sighted. It requires three to five people to resolve. We already have three people, and if Junior Brother Lu joins us, the chances of success will be greater.”

“How about it?” Xu Shaoze extended the invitation.

“Leave the sect to clear out the Demon Envoy? Elder Brother Xu, I think I’ll pass.”

“I only know how to cultivate Spirit Plants, I’m not good at fighting. If I go, I’m afraid I’ll only drag you down and impact your task completion,”

Lu Xuan gave a wry smile, showing a clear sense of self-awareness.

“Is that so? Then we won’t force you, Junior Brother Lu.”

Xu Shao Ze’s expression didn’t change at all. Seeing that Lu Xuan was determined, he didn’t continue to invite him to go and handle the Demon Envoy.

After he left, Lu Xuan stayed alone, paying attention to the numerous task messages on the light curtain.

Although Xu Shao Ze had said there would be at least three people going together to deal with the Demon Envoy, minimizing the risk and ensuring safety, Lu Xuan would rather stay in the Sect. Therefore, he rejected the invitation without any guilt.

Since he had already taken the long-term task of raising the Flood Dragon Demon Beast in Thousand Dragon Lake, and there were many Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field that needed his cultivation, Lu Xuan directly gave up on tasks that would take too much time.

After a round of selection, he finally chose a task related to treating Spirit Plant diseases.

“Flaming Fruit treatment task. The growth condition of a cultivated flaming fruit plant has shown issues, requiring a fellow cultivator proficient in cultivating Spirit Plants to identify and solve the problem.”

“Task reward: Thirty Sword Seals.”

“Flaming Fruit, if I remember correctly, is a second-level Spirit Plant. The Spirit Fruit that it produces is rich in Spiritual Energy. Its taste is wonderful and also slightly enhances the Spiritual Power within a cultivator’s body.” Lu Xuan recalled the information about Flaming Fruit and, without any hesitation, lightly tapped the task information about this Flaming Fruit on the light curtain.

Immediately, the task became a faint stream of light and surged into Lu Xuan’s mind.

Following the information in the stream of light, he found a Spirit Crane outside the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

“Go to North Peak.”

He instructed the Spirit Crane.

The tall Spirit Crane soared towards the sky, carrying Lu Xuan. It flapped its wings, swiftly heading off towards the location that Lu Xuan had mentioned.

A while later, the Spirit Crane came to a stop on a tall mountain peak.

Lu Xuan gave it a Spirit Stone, and following the task information, he began moving through the mountains.

This mountain peak was much busier than the one that housed Lu Xuan’s cave mansion. Courtyards and lofts were everywhere, and cultivators from the Sect, controlling Spirit Birds or flying artifacts, were constantly coming and going. ’ After meandering around, he arrived in front of a quiet and elegant small courtyard.

“Sister, are you home? I’m here for the Flaming Fruit task.”

Lu Xuan softly knocked on the wooden door and called out to the courtyard’s interior.

“Coming.”

A crisp voice sounded out, and soon afterward the wooden door opened, and a woman cultivator, dressed in apricot-yellow clothes, stuck out half her round face to look at Lu Xuan. She had a cute and coquettish demeanor.

“Junior brother, please come in.”

“My surname is Chen. You can refer to me as Sister Chen. May I know your name, junior brother?”

The round-faced woman cultivator laughed as she led Lu Xuan inside, making conversation as they walked.

“You can refer to me as Junior Brother Lu.”

“Can we go to see the Flaming Fruit now? I would like to check it out first.”

There were many plants and flowers planted in the courtyard. Lu Xuan noticed that most of them were Spirit Fruits. This showed that Sister Chen had a special love for Spirit Fruits.

“Junior Brother Lu, there’s no need to rush. Try some of the Spirit Fruits that

I’ve grown first.”

The round-faced lady cultivator said courteously, leading Lu Xuan into the mam hall. She soon brought over a few plates of Spirit Fruits and placed them in front of Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan followed the host’s wishes and quietly sat down, picking up a Spirit Fruit and putting it into his mouth.

Each Spirit Fruit had its unique taste, either crisp or sweet, satisfying Lu Xuan’s taste buds greatly..
