I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

With his mind focused, the progress bar under the water firefly grass was almost full.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was eager to verify the light cluster reward of Water Firefly Grass, so without considering complete maturity, he directly harvested it.

The detailed information about Water Firefly Grass then appeared.

[Water Firefly Grass, Second-Level Spirit Plant…]

“Ordinary Quality, that’s acceptable.”

Lu Xuan casually examined the quality of the Water Firefly Grass, focusing his attention on the emerging White Light Group.

The White Light Group was in the original location of the Water Firefly Grass, flashing faintly, and tugging at Lu Xuan’s heartstrings.

“I hope it would turn out to be a cultivation reward.”

With expectation, Lu Xuan extended his hand and gently touched the surface of the White Light Group.

The Light Group instantly turned into countless tiny light spots, like a starry river, flowing into Lu Xuan’s body.

An idea surfaced in his mind.

[Harvested a Second Grade Water Firefly Grass, gained one year of cultivation.] The thought flashed by, his spiritual power suddenly surged, filling the channels in his body.

Lu Xuan operated “The Great Five Elements”, converting the extra spiritual power into spiritual liquid and storing it in his Dantian.

“Things accumulate and become successful. It’s because of my diligent cultivation day in and day out that I’ve made such an incredible leap.” “Indeed, they say, ‘You reap what you sow.\'”

Lu Xuan was overjoyed at the familiar cultivation reward and continued to harvest the remaining two Water Firefly Grasses matured by the Qingmu Origin Energy.

[Harvested a Second Grade Water Firefly Grass, obtained Second Grade Spirit Bearing Elixir.]

[Harvested a Second Grade Water Firefly Grass, gained two years of cultivation.]

The two mature Water Firefly Grasses were of ordinary and good quality. The Light Group produced a grade two Spirit Gathering Pill, which could enhance his spiritual power. For Lu Xuan at the Foundation Establishment first-term stage, it still had some effect.

In addition, it increased his cultivation by two years, probably because the Water Firefly Grass he harvested was of good quality.

“After reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, when mature, the non-grade Water Firefly Grass, once harvested, would reward one month of cultivation with an ordinary quality, and two months with good quality.” “Now, after the Second Grade Water Firefly Grass matures, the reward for the ordinary quality is one year of cultivation, and the good quality is two years. That’s more than ten times the effect.”

“The Nascent Soul stage seems possible after all.”

Although the cultivation of second grade spiritual plants consumes more spiritual power and takes longer, it isn’t much effort considering such cultivation rewards.

Given his average qualifications, his fellow sect members can cultivate in one year what would take him several. Only by persistently accumulating cultivation can he continue to progress.

To normally cultivate till the Nascent Soul stage, the possibility is almost none, it can be said to be delusional.

“Now things are different, with my daily hard practice and a bit of Light Group reward, going hand in hand, the speed of my cultivation progress has increased by I don’t know how much.”

Lu Xuan thought with a smile.

Only after confirming that Water Firefly Grass could bring generous cultivation rewards did Lu Xuan finally relax.

He planned to cultivate the remaining twenty plants normally, using Qingmu Origin Energy at critical moments, and constantly stimulating other mutated spirit seeds to see how many more second grade water firefly grass spirit seeds he could get.

High in the sky, Lu Xuan was sitting on an elegant Spirit Crane, weaving through the mountains.

This time, he was invited by Liu Su, who he had met once in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, to exchange ideas with several sect members who were adept at both spiritual plants and beasts.

The Spirit Crane landed on a quiet mountain peak. The fresh-faced, calrn- natured Liu Su had been waiting on the mountain’s side for a while.

“Welcome, Junior Brother Lu, to our small gathering on my mountaintop.” “I’m sorry for the intrusion, Senior Sister Liu.”

Lu Xuan responded with a small smile, following behind Liu Su into a serene and elegant courtyard.

Afterwards, other fellow disciples arrived at the mountain. For every cultivator that came by, Liu Su would introduce both parties to each other.

Eventually, all the cultivators gathered. Besides Lu Xuan and Liu Su, there were five others, all in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

During Liu Su’s introduction process, Lu Xuan astutely noticed that one of the introverted young men looked at him with a subtle, scrutinizing gaze. Whenever he and Liu Su were conversing, this young man’s expression showed a faint touch of anxiety.

Lu Xuan speculated that the young man was secretly infatuated with Liu Su. He decided to maintain an appropriate distance from her to avoid any misunderstanding.

Meandering waters, with spirit fruits and spiritual tea flowing with the bubbling spring water, anyone could help themselves to the food and drinks.

Everyone present was highly accomplished in the field of spirit plants and spirit beasts, and they were exchanging their experiences and insights on the subject.

Lu Xuan gained a lot from their discussions. These fellow disciples had joined the Sect years before him and had been deeply involved with spirit plants and beasts, so they had gathered a wealth of knowledge and experience, which allowed him to learn new ideas and insights from them.

Meanwhile, the occasional comments from Lu Xuan would light up everyone’s eyes; although he didn’t possess a vast amount of knowledge about spirit plants, he understood many things related to the essence of these spirit plants. Moreover, his cultivation methods were innovative and enlightened the others.

“I had heard that Junior Brother Lu visited the Azure Spirit Secret Realm and resolved the obsession of a dying, Fifth Grade QjngXuan Deer. I was half- skeptical at first, but after meeting you today, I realize that you truly do have a unique talent in the field of spirit plants.”

“Indeed, seeing is believing.”

“Junior Brother Lu, if you have the time, you could come to my dwelling. We could have a deep exchange of ideas.”

Lu Xuan hastily waved his hands.

“I couldn’t, I couldn’t. All of you senior brothers and sisters are overpraising me.”

He never concealed his abilities in the field of spirit plants and beasts; instead, he did an excellent job of hiding his cultivation levels and treasures obtained from the light clusters.

The more he revealed about spirit plants and beasts, the easier it would be for him to interact with the higher-ranking cultivators in the sect, leading to more precious opportunities.

If he hadn’t helped Yang Qing Feng resolve the Ink-Scaled Jiao’s eating disorder before, he wouldn’t have had the chance to interact with a true disciple like Ge Pu, let alone enter the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

In that case, the Sword Command and Qingmu Origin Energy-two valuable items-would have slipped through his fingers.

“Junior Brother Lu, have you joined a Golden Core Real Person in the sect? If not, I can help introduce you to my mentor.”

After a few back-and-forths of modesty, an ordinary-looking middle-aged cultivator asked.

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother.”

“After advancing to inner-sect disciple, I gave a lot of thoughts and finally

decided to cultivate by myself.”

“I’m used to being lazy, and I can’t really bear being restrained.”

Lu Xuan replied with an apologetic expression.

Being a disciple of a Golden Core Real Person could lead to their advice in cultivation and offer a better background. However, everything has pros and cons, and Lu Xuan would be constrained in various ways, so he decided to continue walking his own path.

Having the backing of a great sect like the Sky Sword Sect was enough. After all, he isn’t an ordinary loose cultivator and has the support of two growing Guardian Beasts. In the Sword Hall of the sect, he’s slowly starting to show his value.

As for resources and cultivation techniques, Lu Xuan figured that the rewards from the light clusters, earned through growing high-grade spirit plants, would be more beneficial.

“Hey, have you heard? One of the three great blessed lands of the sect, Langyue Blessed Land, will open in about half a year.”

“Really?”

“I heard this news from a true disciple. It must be true.”

“Looks like we need to find a way to get a Sword Command.”

“Of course we do. After all, it’s the sect’s blessed land, not just any ordinary secret realm.”

“There are countless opportunities everywhere. If you’re lucky, you could even obtain ancient spirit species or ancient spirit beast eggs. Moreover, there’s a Golden Core Real Person stationed there, so there’s not much danger inside the blessed land. This is an opportunity not to be missed.”
