I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 321 - 319: Earthfire Heart Lotus Maturationl



Feeling the robust dense spiritual power within his body, Lu Xuan was filled with emotion.

Reaching the mid-term of the Foundation Establishment was something he didn’t even dare to imagine before acquiring the white light group.

And now, in less than five years, he broke through to the mid-term. Even in the Sky Sword Sect, his progress was on par with those high achieving prodigies.

“Whether it’s spiritual power or spiritual sense, both have more than doubled compared to before the Foundation Establishment. The strength of my physical body has also significantly increased, albeit not as dramatically.”

Lu Xuan meticulously felt the changes within his body after the breakthrough.

Looking at the over ten white light clusters left in his Spirit Field, he picked them one by one.

Of the 150 or so second-grade water glow grass, he kept fifty for condensing seeds, and picked the rest.

This harvest was different from previous ones.

In the past, he would wait for the progress bar below to fill up entirely, but this time, as soon as the water glow grass matured, he would pick them all and harvest the light groups at once.

The previous mode of harvesting was to allow the spirit plants ample time to mature, maximizing the quality after maturation to get the maximum possible reward from the light group.

Since the spiritual energy on Void Nether Island was much thinner than that in the Sky Sword Sect, improving other conditions was not enough to increase the quality of the water glow grass. Influenced by the secret land’s overall atmosphere, Lu Xuan chose to pick them all at once.

Of the more than 100 light group rewards harvested, about twenty contained cultivation level bonuses. But due to the majority of the water glow grass being of ordinary quality, the cultivation level rewards amounted to twenty-seven years.

The remaining light groups mainly rewarded second-grade elixirs and talismans, with only a few of higher quality water glow grass yielding pill formula experience packages and two third-rank magic water beads in their light groups.

“The remaining fifty stalks of water glow grass should provide approximately 200 spiritual seeds. My mid-term Foundation Establishment spiritual power should be sufficient for cultivation.”

Lu Xuan could boost his cultivation swiftly if he farms a large quantity of the water glow grass, as it provides cultivation rewards, but things did not always go as planned.

Planting a single stalk of second-grade water glow grass isn’t a simple case of just putting it in the Spirit Field and leaving it. It requires constant application of basic techniques like Spirit Rain Technique, Tree Life Spell, Earth Pulling Technique during its growth, which takes a significant amount of time and spiritual power, let alone for 200 stalks.

Moreover, there were several high-grade spirit plants in his cave dwelling. Each had unique cultivation conditions that were quite demanding.

High-grade spirit plants could yield high-rank rare treasures. Although Lu Xuan just wished to farm peacefully, often one does not have a say in the Cultivation World, and various powerful methods and treasures were needed for the assurance of one’s safety.

Water glow grass provides cultivation levels, while other high-grade spirit plants provide treasures, both are equally important, and need to be cultivated simultaneously.

Planting more than 200 in the next batch is his limit after the breakthrough.

“Considering my ordinary aptitude, I wonder how many batches I need to plant to reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment.”

He sighed inwardly.

If I were to cultivate traditionally, I would probably run out of lifespan before seeing the hopes of breaking through the late stage of the foundation establishment. The white light groups allowed him to catch up and even surpass those cultivation geniuses.

His breakthrough in cultivation provided better protection for his life. The steps of Lu Xuan inspecting Spirit Field became much lighter.

The demonic vine trailed behind him, sensing Lu Xuan’s jovial mood, and the gray vines pulsed rhythmically.

Coming to the edge of the pond, a boulder the size of a bathtub rolled toward Lu Xuan.

The stone was pitch-black, giving off a dirty feeling.

By the time it reached Lu Xuan’s feet, a grey turtle head suddenly popped out of the stone. A pair of mung bean-like eyes rolled about, looking lively.

“This Rock-shell Turtle, rolling around in the mud pool every day, has turned into a mud turtle.”

“Fat Bird, manage your turtle son, he’s so dirty it’s unbearable.”

Lu Xuan called out to the exterior of the Spirit Field.

A rush of blue light passed by; the Wind Falcon grabbed the Rock-shell Turtle in one movement and threw it into the water pool with a bang.

Although the baby turtle looked bulky and cumbersome, it floated on the water with extreme agility.

The Wind Falcon flapped its pale-green wings, stirring up huge waves that hit the mud-covered back of the baby Rock-shell Turtle.

As the waves washed over him, not much mud was removed from the back of the baby turtle. It was unknown how it was able to blend with its body.

The Wind Falcon tilted its head, its eyes filled with confusion. Not being able to figure it out, it simply flew away.

The baby turtle played in the water by himself. The Green Horned Dragon Carp somehow swam next to him, floating on the surface of the water as its beautiful tail fin gently swayed.

The Dragon Carp with its elongated body and elegant movements, its blue whiskers swimming in the water, and the pointed horn on its head, all added an air of extraordinariness, forming a sharp contrast with the earthy and dark Rock-shell Turtle next to it.

The two Spirit Beasts, instead of their initial tense confrontation, were peacefully coexisting in the small pool.

The Green Horned Dragon Carp even seemed somewhat close to the Rock-shell Turtle.

“This Green Horned Dragon Carp seems a little close…”

Seeing this, Lu Xuan chuckled in his heart, ignoring the seemingly friendly Green Horned Dragon Carp and Rock-shell Turtle. He continued to inspect and explore the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field.

He came to the underground cavern.

The Earthfire Heart Lotus was being washed by the scorching magma, with a multitude of irregularly shaped light red crystals that made up its root swaying gently in the magma. The lotus leaves swayed along, and more than ten fiery red lotus seeds stood out on the crimson lotus bud.

“The fourth-grade Earthfire Heart Lotus has matured.”

Lu Xuan, delighted as he looked at the fully filled semi-transparent progress bar down below, summoned the Earthfire Heart Lotus with his spiritual power to bring it in front of him.

His palm turned the color of amber, despite the remnant hot magma on the Earthfire Heart Lotus stalks; He directly picked up the crimson lotus pod.

His consciousness gathered on the light red lotus seeds, a thought emerged from his mind.

[The Earthfire Heart Lotus, a fourth-grade Spirit Plant, grows in a hot magma environment and is cultivated with second-grade or more advanced Fire System Techniques. ]

[After the lotus seeds mature, they can purify the turbid pollution within a cultivator, reduce the risk of transformation into demons, resist the invasion of the Demon Envoy for a certain period of time after ingestion, and enhance the Spiritual Sense of the cultivator when consumed over a long period of time.] [The lotus leaves and roots can be used as materials for refining some high­grade elixirs.]

“Good quality, that’s already quite good.”

“It can purify the polluted qi, reduce the risk of transformation, and surprisingly enhance the spiritual sense of the cultivator after being consumed multiple times. Truly befitting of a fourth-grade spiritual plant.”

During the process of cultivation and living, cultivators inevitably get contaminated with turbid polluted spiritual energy. If this is not removed, unexpected consequences might occur when trying to breakthrough realms, especially those who have been hunting Demon Envoys for a long time, their bodies carry a variety of Yin Qi, evil qi, and filthy qi. If they do not clean it promptly, there is a risk of falling into transformation.

The lotus seeds of this fourth-grade Earthfire Heart Lotus can solve these problems very well.

And not to mention, it can also enhance the Spiritual Sense of the cultivator. Rare are the treasures in the Cultivation World that can enhance spiritual sense. Growing so many different Spirit Plants, Lu Xuan obtained a mature plant of this kind for the first time.

“I can now seriously enhance my Spiritual Sense.”

Lu Xuan sighed; his Flesh Body strength, magical weaponry and techniques were all much superior to Cultivators of the same level, only his Spiritual Sense was average. Now with the lotus seeds of the Earthfire Heart Lotus, he could specifically strengthen it.
