I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Lu Xuan said indifferently.

“Let’s talk elsewhere, please follow me,” the rotund and down-to-earth old man said, leading Lu Xuan into the third floor of Wanbao Building with a smile in his eyes.

A tranquil and refined chamber, with a strand of dark yellow incense, fills the air with a scent that brings peace to the mind.

A cultivator from the Wanbao Building serves the spiritual fruit and spiritual tea, then discreetly leaves.

“I eliminated a few evil cultivators and got some strange materials from them. I have no use for them, so I thought I’d use them in exchange for resources at Wanbao Building.”

Lu Xuan took out two strangely shaped spiritual plants from his storage bag while taking.

One was a huge mushroom made of stone-like substance, with strange patterns on the surface, which at first glance looked like a bizarre face.

The other was a cluster of thorns, each one resembling white bones and giving off a chilling air, looking extremely sharp.

“Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, a third-grade spiritual plant, is the main ingredient for making some strange elixirs.”

“Also Thorn Bone, it’s quite rare in the Cultivation World and is a top ingredient for making puppets and also for producing some strange magic artifacts.”

The round-faced old man proved his worth as the master of a branch of Wanbao Building, recognising immediately the two underworld spiritual plants in Lu Xuan’s hand.

“You’re right, your keen eye impresses me.”

Lu Xuan nodded.

“I want to use these two spiritual plants in exchange for third-grade monster corpses. The more intact, the better.”

Every part of the monster corpses was of great use to him, so the more complete they were, the better.

“We do have a few third-grade monster corpses,” the old man pondered for a while before confirming with a smile.

Wanbao Building in Sword Gate Town was situated close to the Sky Sword Sect, thus a considerable number of inner disciples frequented it. The materials they obtained from hunting down monsters were conveniently processed by Wanbao Building. Hence, although third-grade monster corpses were deemed precious, they weren’t rare.

He took out a communication talisman and wrote a brief message before sending it out of the chamber.

Soon there were relevant cultivators bringing in the materials.

“Fellow daoist, the spiritual plants in your hand are third-grade, the same as the monster corpses. However, as these two plants are quite rare, I suggest you pick first. Afterwards, I’ll also gift you ten pounds of ordinary third-grade demon beast meat, what do you think?”

“Okay,” Lu Xuan nodded. The old man’s proposed exchange method was extraordinarily fair and so, even he, who liked bargaining, had no objections.

After examining a few monster corpses, he ultimately selected two with relatively larger bodies.

Not for any other purpose, but just for the most abundant flesh and blood on these beasts.

Exchanging two strange spiritual plants of little use for a great quantity of demon beast’s flesh and blood, as well as other parts of the demon beasts, Lu Xuan was exceptionally pleased.

He muted his breath, discreetly changed his appearance and figure in a secluded corner before returning to Qingshi Square in Sword Gate Town to buy a large number of various materials using spirit stones.

Back in the yard, he placed one demon wolf monster corpse beside the root of the Strange Longevity Peach so that it could maintain an ample supply of nutrients for a considerable amount of time and grow healthily and happily.

Then, he took a dark red stone from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, placing another third-grade monster corpse around the stone.

At first, the dark red stone was still, as if the third-grade monster carcass held no charm for it.

After a moment, the flesh on the carcass started to compress, and strands of dark red gas drifted from within the corpse, silently blending into the dark red stone.

The dark red gas carried a faint smell of blood. One could easily tell that it was the essence of the carcass’s flesh and blood, compressed and condensed into gas.

After absorbing the dark red airflow, the dark red stone showed no response on the surface.

Lu Xuan didn’t mind, he believed that as long as he provided enough blood and flesh, the Spirit of Flesh with the potential of a seventh rank would surely hatch.

Leaving behind a lot of Demon Beast Materials, Lu Xuan returned to the Sect Cave Mansion on his Flying Sword.

After inspecting the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan came to the Yin Yang Mountain Peak where Ge Pu resided.

Above the mountain peak, the black and white Yin Yang Koi Fish formed a Tai Chi pattern, merging into one and filled with natural essence.

Ge Pu was meditating with his black and white pupils rotating slightly. Their aura resonated with the Yin Yang Koi Fish and the black and white auras swirled around his body.

“Junior Brother Lu, you’re here. It’s a rare visit.”

Sensing Lu Xuan’s entrance, Ge Pu stood up and said with a smile.

Lu Xuan usually stayed in his own cave mansion, it was rare to see him venture out on his own.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Brother Ge. I missed you and came by to visit.”

“Ha ha, you sure know how to sweet talk.”

“I heard that recently, the sect opened a new Blessed Land and you contributed a lot to that.”

“Not at all, I just used my skills in the Spiritual Plant Path to help the Golden Pellet Elder Uncle and fellow disciples solve some minor problems in the Blessed Land.”

Lu Xuan said humbly.

“Your accomplishments in the Path of Spiritual Plants are well-known to most disciples in the Inner Sect. You don’t have to be modest.”

“Tell me, why did you come today?”

Lu Xuan’s expression became serious as he said:

“It’s like this. You know I have a great interest in various spiritual plants.”

“Years ago, I obtained a Weird Spiritual Plant. I tried to cultivate it to see if I could enrich my cultivation experience, and surprisingly, I succeeded.”

“But, I accidentally discovered a problem. It seems that the Weird Spiritual Plant was a trap set by someone, making me cultivate it for them. They were using the mother plant of the spiritual plant to monitor the growth condition of the Offspring Plant and observe the Cultivation Level of the Spirit Plant Master.”

“Maybe in no time, they will collect it and secretly infiltrate my small Spirit Field.”

“I’m not good at fighting, so I came to ask Brother Ge for help. I wonder if you’d be willing.”

“So there’s an Evil Dao Cultivator coveting the treasures of our Sky Sword Sect!”

“Junior Brother Lu, rest assured that I will do everything I can to protect you from harm and guarantee that the cultivator behind this will not return.”

Ge Pu said with certainty.

Lu Xuan had cleverly helped him solve the problem of the Yin Yang Koi Fish’s breeding, allowing them to reproduce.

Most of his abilities are related to these Ancient Exotic Beasts. After the Yin Yang Koi Fish upgraded to Fifth Rank, he gained a lot of benefits, advanced quickly in his cultivation, and even had a glimpse of the prospect of Core Formation.

When Lu Xuan asked him for help, he readily agreed without hesitation.

“Junior Brother Lu, would you like me to also ask Junior Brother Zhong Jing Shan, who is also an Authentic Teachings?”

“You helped him solve the breeding problem of the Demon Blade Black Mantis before, and made a pair of Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects that had been unable to breed for a long time successfully give birth to offspring, he’s always been very grateful to you.”

“With this opportunity, he could reciprocate your kindness.”

“He and I have a very good relationship. He will certainly agree if I say a word.”

“Thank you very much, Brother Ge.”

Lu Xuan was overjoyed, having two Authentic Teachings to help, and even bring two Guardian Beasts, this would make his assisting lineup unprecedentedly strong.
