I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Eventually, Lu Xuan obtained numerous magical artifacts, charms, and elixirs from them and their storage bags.

There were three third-level magical weapons: the shuttle-shaped magic tool from Ning DeShan, the long silk artifact from the old woman, and a third- grade flying sword.

There was also a broken third-grade armor, pierced full of holes by the bone spikes of the White Bone Devil Puppet, reduced to waste.

The rest were second-grade magical artifacts.

In the two storage bags, several third-grade charms of mediocre quality and a few bottles of elixir were found. Lu Xuan was not deeply familiar with elixirs, only recognizing three common varieties inside.

“These two Foundation Establishment cultivators of loose cultivation backgrounds are quite poor.”

“There isn’t much for my own use, I can only try to find a chance to get some spirit stones by selling them.”

Lu Xuan secretly sighed.

At this moment, he had further understood how fortunate he was to have the light cluster reward.

Even his Foundation Establishment peers in the sect could not be fully equipped with third-grade or higher magical artifacts and treasures, let alone the Foundation Establishment loose cultivators on this archipelago.

Considering their wealth and opportunities, possessing one or two third-grade magic artifacts was very common. Hence, when this secret land appeared, cultivators from the archipelago and surrounding areas swarmed over in a bid to seize that elusive opportunity.

With his current wealth, even when compared with the True Disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, he held a significant advantage.

The storage of third or fourth-grade magical artifacts and treasures might not be as ample, but at the fifth-grade level at least, he could hold his own.

A thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind as he turned his attention to the Spirit Peach Tree in front of him.

After hiding his figure, he learned from Ning DeShan that the Spirit Peach was called a Longevity Pan Peach, a Five-Quality Spirit Plant, swallowing it could increase five to ten years of lifespan.

Although he now clearly understood the origins of the Spirit Peach, Lu Xuan dared not underestimate it. After all, the Immaculate Jade around his neck was continuously inputting a cool breath.

He stood up, his thoughts moved, and the Void Nightmare Eye, with him at the center, constantly moved around in the surrounding emptiness, appearing and disappearing instantly, its movements were mysterious.

The grey eyeball in his hand competently displayed what the Void Nightmare Eye saw.

Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense moved into the Spirit Soil and then the Grandmaster Level Earth Pulling Technique was carried out. The structural changes in the Spirit Soil near the roots of the Longevity Pan Peach enabled him to obtain detailed information about it.

[Strange Longevity Peach, a mutant Five-Quality Spirit Plant. The Longevity Pan Peach has mutated into a new spirit plant under the continuous attack of an evil atmosphere due to its inability to satisfy its cultivation conditions for a long time.]

[Originally needing vigorous cultivators or demon beasts to nourish it day and night, after the mutation, it silently absorbs the life force of cultivators and demon beasts in its vicinity, having a strong desire for blood and essence.] [Consumption of a mature Strange Longevity Peach can increase lifespan, and will also accumulate an evil atmosphere in the consumer’s body. At a certain level, it will cause the risk of mutation of the cultivator or demon beast.]

“So it’s a mutated spiritual plant, a normal Longevity Pan Peach that has mutated into a different Longevity Pan Peach with an evil tendency. No wonder the Immaculate Jade reacted.”

Lu Xuan quietly sighed.

“Regardless of the cultivation method or the consumption effect, several strange elements have been added.”

“However, as long as the rank remains unchanged, it is a valuable spiritual plant.”

As far as he was concerned, be it normal or peculiar, as long as it was a Five- Quality Spirit Plant, it meant a bountiful reward from the light cluster, and the type of spirit plant was not that important.

As for the mature Strange Longevity Peach, he had the freshly picked Earth Fire Heart Lotus seeds in his hand, which upon consumption, would purify and remove any unusual essences within his body, without any concern about negative effects.

Not to mention, being young, he did not have to worry about his lifespan.

“However, a long lifespan is hard to come by in the Cultivation World. Ning DeShan might think he has stumbled upon a great opportunity, but little did he know, this Strange Longevity Peach is seven parts beneficial and three parts poisonous, merely a case of drinking poison to quench thirst.”

Having understood the details of the Spirit Peach Tree, Lu Xuan finally relaxed, carefully picking the remaining five pink-white spirit peaches from the Strange Longevity Peach tree.

The spirit peaches rolled around in the silver dish, giving off a fresh milky aroma and exuding a lively primordial life force upon close sniffing.

After harvesting all the Strange Longevity Spirit Peaches, to Lu Xuan’s surprise, the Spirit Peach Tree slowly started to wither, as if the life force within the plant was departing with the falling of the spirit fruits.

“To endure such a long time in this medicine garden, is indeed tough.” “Perhaps, it was the mutation into the Strange Longevity Peach that gave it a glimmer of hope for survival until now.”

Lu Xuan sighed in silence, calling out the Demonic Vine and communicating through his spiritual sense.

“Try to sense if there are any Spiritual Seeds of Strange Longevity Peach hidden in the spirit soil.”

The tip of the Demonic Vine quivered excitedly, then split into numerous grayish feelers spreading out in all directions.

Shortly afterwards, one of the grayish feelers circled the ground, occasionally sniffing around like a thief.

Then, upon getting Lu Xuan’s approval, it plunged into the spirit soil.

From Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense perception, the Demonic Vine drilled five or six feet into the spirit soil, and pulled out a peculiar object from it.

A dark-red peach pit encased in a mass of congealed flesh. Blood essence flowed through the channels on its surface.

Within the peach pit, a strong life force was detectable, throbbing vigorously as if it were a heart.

“So, this is how it maintains its vitality.”

Lu Xuan sighed secretly in his heart.

The rank five Strange Longevity Peach, after coincidentally condensing a spirit seed, being unable to cultivate it due to the lack of conditions, wrapped the spirit seed in its blood essence out of an instinct to preserve its lineage, deeply burying it in the spirit soil. This nourished the spirit seed while isolating it from the spiritual energy and prevented it from growing and sprouting.

“However, now that I have found it, there’s no need to worry about its growth. I will take good care of you and make sure you mature quickly.”

He looked at the dark red peach pit in his hand and put it into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

After visiting the medicine garden this time, gaining the fifth-grade Strange Longevity mutant Peach spirit seed and resolving the conflict with the somewhat problematic Ning DeShan, Lu Xuan was very satisfied.

However, he had no intentions of stopping here and giving up the opportunity to enter the Mysterious Palace.

After preparing for such a long time, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment mid-term, harvesting several high-grade spiritual plants, obtaining treasures such as the Void Nightmare Eye and the “Pure Yang True Fire Talisman”, how could he simply ignore the treasure palace?

Although Lu Xuan was often cautious, he was now protected by various treasures and his confidence was at its peak.

Therefore, the Void Nightmare Eye continuously moved around his body, disappearing and reappearing, keeping a close watch on the surrounding movements.

The Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath hung around his waist, within it, the fourth-rank Wind Thunder Sword was ready to strike. In his sleeve, the Roaring Sea Sword Charm, the Great Sun Sword Talisman, and the Starfall Sword Talisman were ready and could ignite a powerful sword intent at any time.

With such thorough preparation, he quickly left the abandoned medicine garden and headed towards the palace.
