I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

The grey-green body surface is convulsing, with electric arcs jumping around, causing the Wooden Wholehearted Devil to jerk spasmodically.

The Wooden Infant opens its eyes, its grey-white pupils filled with resentment, its gaze firmly fixed on Lu Xuan.

A green light surges on its body, triggering the Rune Chain binding it to radiate a blue glow, clenching tightly to suppress the Wooden Infant.

“It seems you still don’t understand the situation…” Lu Xuan chuckles softly. The deep purple sword in his hand flashes a purple glow, striking the Wooden Infant at an even faster speed.

“I’ll reiterate this once more, spit out some resentful infant souls, or else, the intensity of the next lightning will be doubled.”

The countenance of the Same-heart Wooden Demon appears to be in unbearable agony, its features contorted together as it lets out a silent growl.

Seeing the Wooden Infant’s lack of response, Lu Xuan directly prompts the Purple Lightning Sword, a deep purple lightning, thicker in size, instantly landing on its grey-green body.

A faint smell of burning permeates the air.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to increase the intensity of the lightning on Wooden Infant, a faint echo came from the dark cave-like navel of the Wooden Infant’s tiny body.

A fist-sized infant soul struggling to emerge from the hole.

The seemingly concrete gray-white body appears listless as its hollow eyes stare blankly around.

“There’s indeed something in its stomach, no wonder that Core Formation demon wanted to use tens of thousands of infant spirits to refine the Five- Heart Demonic Artifact.”

Looking at the witless infant soul, Lu Xuan recalls with excitement.

He repeated the process, continuing to coerce the Wooden Infant into producing several ignorant infant souls, leading them to the location where the Holy Infant Fruit was planted.

Under his spiritual sense, as if looking at a fetus-like spirit seed, there seems to be a dried-up, small grey-black infant curled up in a ball, lying motionless.

On closer inspection, the grey-black infant disappears instantly, with only a ball of grey-black things hidden in the spirit seed.

Compared to when he left the small courtyard last time, there is almost no change in the spirit seed of the Holy Infant Fruit.

Although the small courtyard is filled with heavy yin qi, it can only barely keep the Holy Infant Fruit alive and cannot promote its growth.

Lu Xuan manipulates an infant’s soul who seems like an idiot, to hover above the spirit seed of Holy Infant Fruit.

The moment the infant’s soul appeared, Lu Xuan noticed some slight changes in the embryo-like spirit seed beneath him.

It’s as if a pair of resentful and malicious eyes are shooting out from the spirit seed, coldly staring at the infant’s soul.

“Instead of staying in the Wooden Infant, it would be better for you to be absorbed by this Holy Infant Fruit and return to the cycle of reincarnation earlier.”

Lu Xuan accordingly expresses his condolence to an infant’s soul who has long lost its senses, then manipulates it to pass through the spirit soil, guiding it into the Holy Infant Fruit spirit seed.

Under his spiritual sense, the grey-black material inside the spirit seed surged violently, and after being smoky for a long time, finally calmed down.

From within the dense black mist, Lu Xuan discerns that the grey-black baby seems to be eating noodles. It sucks and absorbs the infant’s soul into its shriveled belly.

The dark mist faded away, and the emaciated, skinny grey-black baby’s body appears to have a bit more vitality.

Lu Xuan nods lightly after seeing this, and then sends the other few foolish infant souls into the spirit seed of Holy Infant Fruit.

After checking the deep blue rune chains on the Wooden Infant and confirming there’s no problem, he cautiously puts it into his storage bag.

“These infant souls should be enough for the Holy Infant Fruit to absorb for a long time. As for this Wooden Wholehearted Devil, it has to be properly looked after for the time being to facilitate long-term soul absorption.”

In between his thoughts, Lu Xuan arrives at the spiritual field area where the Blood Scourge Flower Spirit Seed is buried.

The cultivation of Blood Scourge Flower requires feeding on various demon beasts and even the essence blood of cultivators, which should not be a problem for Lu Xuan now.

He still had a large portion of Flood Dragon’s Essence Blood that he took while using the pretense of examining the Flood Dragons in Thousand Dragon Lake!

“It’s been a long time since I withdrew blood last time. I must seize the opportunity to check on those little water dragon abominations to help them grow healthily.”

“Now that I’m an inner sect disciple, I wonder if I could get the chance to inspect on the third or fourth-rank adult Jiaolong in the sect.”

Despite having a large amount of water dragon essence blood in his hand, Lu Xuan was think cautiously about the future.

A fifth-grade blood scourge flower is a spirit plant that feeds on blood, naturally it absorbs much more than the flood dragon vine. Not to mention, his cultivation of “Transforming Dragon in the Void” also requires the blood of Jiaolong. Looking at so much, it is estimated to be very rapid to use.

Buoyed by these thoughts, he took out a bottle of Jiaolong Essence Blood from his storage bag and tossed it over the Spirit Soil above the Blood Scourge Flower.

The crimson essence blood seeped into the spirit soil.

Upon reaching the Blood Scourge Flower, countless tiny blood-vessel-like things came to life on the surface of the blood ball, greedily absorbing every drop of Jiaolong essence blood in the spirit soil.

After absorbing the essence blood of the Jiaolong, the numerous tiny blood vessels on the surface of the blood ball change color, and the red blood flows smoothly inside, forming a vast sea of blood.

The sea of blood sparked waves, and the blood-colored flowers inside bloomed more beautifully.

It might be Lu Xuan’s false impression, but he sensed that the time the blood­colored flowers bloomed was slightly longer than before.

After pouring down three bottles of Jiaolong Essence Blood for the fifth-grade spirit seed of the Swarming Blood Scourge Flower, he came to the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom.

The Ghost Face Stone Mushroom, which had been starved for a long time, finally had a good meal under Lu Xuan’s arrival, and the patterns on the gray and white stone surface became even more radiant.

Lu Xuan stood still, focusing his divine consciousness on a Ghost Face Stone Mushroom.

Most of the progress bar below has been filled, it won’t take much longer to reach full.

However, Lu Xuan was unsure when he would be visiting Sword Sect Town Small Courtyard next, and he had a strong curiosity about the white light group that the Yin-Evil type spiritual plants produced.

He decided to ripen a stalk of Ghost Face Stone Mushroom to see what rewards he could achieve.

Although the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom is a bit sinister, it still stays within the category of spiritual plants, and Qjngmu Origin Energy, the life essence of the fifth-grade Qjng Xuan deer, also works.

A wisp of pale green spiritual light shot from his fingertip and poured into the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom in front of him.

Suddenly, the strange runes at the top of the grayish-white mushroom kept changing, like a face that kept altering expressions.

A great suction force emerged from the face, sucking in the remaining few solid Resentful Spirits.

The progress bar below seemed to jump a bit.

After continuously injecting Qjngmu Origin Energy and accelerating the absorption of Yin Soul Resentment, the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom in front of him was finally completely matured.

Lu Xuan carefully pulled it out and a thought flashed through his mind.

[Ghost Face Stone Mushroom, third-grade spirit plant, good quality, can assist in practicing certain Evil Techniques, and speed up their cultivation.]

“Good quality, that’s decent enough.”

“After all, the purity of spiritual energy in the Ling Tian of Sword Sect Town Small Courtyard is far inferior to that within the sect, and I can only come and check the cultivation occasionally instead of day and night meticulous cultivation inside the cave mansion.”

“Being able to receive good quality spiritual plants, I presume, is also thanks to the help of Qjngmu Origin Energy.”

With a sigh from Lu Xuan, his attention was drawn to a faintly flashing white light group in front of him.

With a light touch, the light clusters gathered into a blurry face and instantly drilled into Lu Xuan’s body.

[Harvesting a Third-Tier Ghost Face Stone Mushroom, you have obtained a Fourth-Level Magical Tool, Soul Lantern.]
