I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

After tasting the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, which had long been haunting its dreams, the deep obsession within the Green Xuan Deer’s heart was freed and gradually dissipated.

Its consciousness sank deeper and deeper, its eyes slowly closing, and it let out a soft whimper. The ethereal and distant sound echoed deep into the Secret Land.

The grey hair, that resembled weeds on its massive body, quickly turned green, detached on its own, and melted into the vines beneath.

The light-green skin gradually turned intangible until only countless green light spots were left, vaguely outlining the shape of the Green Xuan Deer.

The green light spots seemed to possess life, splitting into two parts. The larger part silently dispersed, merging into the myriad of Spirit Plants within the Secret Land.

The remaining small part of the green light spots gathered together, forming a light-green light cluster, which instantly surged into Lu Xuan’s body.

Lu Xuan felt a cool breath completely enveloping his body, moisturizing every part of him and boosting his vitality.

Inside his Dantian, a pigeon’s egg-sized light-green light cluster floated not far from the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, bobbing up and down, spreading out faint green ripples that soaked into Lu Xuan’s meridians and bones.

“That’s Qingmu Origin Energy, the primal spiritual power of the Green Xuan Deer. I didn’t expect it would gift you so much before its death.”

As Lu Xuan was at a loss, the Nascent Soul Real Person Gu Jiankong, standing by, suddenly spoke.

“This Qingmu Origin Energy is a very special and rare form of spiritual power. Once absorbed into the body, it can nourish your physique continuously, greatly enhancing your body’s self-healing ability.”

“In addition, it can increase your affinity with Spirit Plants. When used on Spirit Plants, it can speed up their growth and absorb the spiritual energy of plants and trees as a supplement.”

“You successfully resolved the obsession of this Fifth Grade Green Xuan Deer, so I expect this round of Qingmu Origin Energy was its final gift to you.” “But, Disciple Lu, you really exceeded our expectations, using a portion of spiritual juice made from a variety of spirit fruits to easily solve such a significant issue.”

Admiration flickered in Gu Jiankong’s eyes as he looked at Lu Xuan. Despite Lei Su, the four-eyed middle-aged cultivator who initially advocated preemptive action against the Green Xuan Deer, his unusual eyes also held a few shades of admiration when he saw Lu Xuan successfully handle the situation.

“There’s no beast problem that can’t be solved. If there is, then just feed it.” Lu Xuan exclaimed to himself, recovering from a series of images flashing through his mind and the surprise of obtaining Qingmu Origin Energy. “I am truly undeserving of such a generous gift given to me by the Deer Elder on its deathbed.”

He said with a somewhat apprehensive tone.

Gu Jiankong seemed to sense the worry within him and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry. If you were able to receive the Green Xuan Deer’s gift, that’s your luck; others won’t be able to take it.”

‘Furthermore, you dissolved the obsession of the Green Xuan Deer, allowing a significant part of its primal spiritual power to integrate into the Secret Land, which greatly benefited it. This is a considerable merit.”

Lei Su on the side nodded slightly without expression.

But, the eyes of the other Foundation Establishment peers flashed with envy. Only after hearing Gu Jiankong’s assurance did Lu Xuan finally feel at ease. After all, it wasn’t so easy to accept the gift left behind by a Grade 5 Demon Beast, the Green Xuan Deer.

“Alright, thanks to you this time, Disciple Lu, the Green Xuan Deer, who had been guarding our Sect for many years, was able to die peacefully. Even before it passed away, it left a significant treasure for this Azure Spirit Secret Land.” “That strand of Qingmu Origin Energy is rightfully yours. In addition, I’ll give you 300 Sword Marks as your reward for resolving the obsession of the Green Xuan Deer.”

As soon as Gu Jiankong finished speaking, 300 small-sword-like Sword Marks flew out from in front of him, hovering in front of Lu Xuan.

“Thank you, Master Gu!”

Lu Xuan formally expressed his gratitude with a bow.

Inwardly, he marveled at the generosity of the Nascent Soul Real Person.

Three hundred sword marks, this was already more than what he currently possessed.

Keep in mind, when he exchanged for the Fourth-Grade Xuan Insect Vine spirit seed from the Agricultural Department Hall, he only spent two hundred forty sword marks. One can imagine the value of three hundred sword marks.

Lu Xuan put the three hundred sword marks in front of him into the storage bag and headed for the exit of the Azure Spirit Secret Realm with everyone. While passing through the dense forest of spirit woods and vines, palm-sized green sprites flew out naughtily, curiously observing everyone, and then followed Lu Xuan’s movements closely.

Junior Brother Lu’s situation changed since he received that original spiritual energy, the sprites in the secret realm are noticeably different.”

Ge Pu beside him chuckled.

Lu Xuan turned his head to look, and the green sprites momentarily fluttered their light green wings, blending into the woods.

After leaving the secret realm, Lu Xuan said goodbye to everyone and was about to head to his own cave dwelling when suddenly, a cold voice echoed behind him.

“Junior Brother Lu, please hold on.”

Lu Xuan turned his head to look, it was the quiet and pure woman who excelled in treating demon beasts. From their previous encounters, he learned that the woman was named Liu Su, who was also at the Foundation Establishment First-term cultivated stage.

Senior Sister Liu, may I ask why you’re looking for me?”

Lu Xuan smiled and asked.

It s nothing urgent, it’s that your ability to communicate with spirit beasts has impressed me. Thus, I wanted to get acquainted with you, Junior Brother. If the opportunity arises, we can exchange experiences on cultivating spiritual plants and rearing spirit beasts.”

“In the sect, there are only a few peers like us who spend a lot of time and thought on spirit plants and spirit beasts, and occasionally gather to share related experiences.”

I see, Senior Sister Liu, this is my communication talisman. You can contact me if there’s something.”

Lu Xuan handed a communication talisman to Liu Su.

There was such a small group within the sect that was exchanging experiences about spirit plants and spirit beasts, and Lu Xuan was naturally very willing to join.

After all, even though he had the ability to understand the current conditions of spirit plants and beasts, his knowledge in this aspect was not sufficient. It would be beneficial to learn a thing or two from the powerful Spirit Plant Masters in the sect.

Furthermore, he could more easily obtain unknown or rare spiritual seeds from them.

The two left each other contact talismans and Lu Xuan quickly returned to his own mountain peak.

In his room, he recounted the harvest from this time’s resolution of the Green Xuan Deer’s obsession.

The harvest was greatly satisfying, the greatest of which was naturally the stream of Qingmu Origin Energy. Although it was just a small part, the five- grade demon beast’s dying gift was a large wealth for the Foundation Establishment first-term Lu Xuan.

The next was the three hundred sword marks awarded by Gu Jian Kong, the reward was worth no less than two thousand spirit stones, and it was priceless.

“Serving the Sect is the duty of an Inner Sect Disciple. I originally did not want to accept these sword marks, but Master…”

“He gave so many!”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh, his hard work and many tasks only accumulated a number of sword marks, which was nothing more than a casual reward from the Nascent Soul Real Person.

Lastly, the Hundred Fruit Spiritual Juice recipe that he obtained from the deep memories of the Qing Xuan Deer.

The Spiritual Juice, made from dozens of spiritual fruits and special spirit brew, was the unique formula of the Golden Pellet Elder Uncle who died outside. It was deeply loved by various spirit beasts.

“These should firmly bind you.”

Recalling the gluttonous Mystical Sky White Luan and White Jade Sky Monkey, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but smile.
