I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 634: 632

After evenly spreading the Five Color Soil, he hurriedly transplanted two “Five-Element Fruits” from the Spirit Field.

When he had left the Sky Sword Sect, he knew in advance about the relocation and had traded for quite a few Fourth Grade Spirit Seeds from the Agricultural Department Hall.

Among these were two “Five-Element Fruits”, and he also obtained the Method of Seed Condensation for the “Five-Element Fruit” and the Earthfire Heart Lotus; once he accumulated a larger number of Spiritual Seeds, he might even try to improve them into higher-grade Spirit Plants.

After arriving at the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, those several fourth-grade Spirit Plants had already entered their mature stage, and he would soon be able to harvest a large number of Light Clusters as rewards.

He then found an empty spot in the Spirit Field, took out the Snow Barrier Ice Jade Lotus Spirit Seed, performed the Earth Pulling Technique, and planted the Spiritual Seed into the Spirit Soil.

With a thought, the already perfectly proficient Spirit Rain Technique was cast silently, causing clouds to churn above the Spirit Field and strands of Spirit Rain to fall, seeping into the Spiritual Seeds.

Lu Xuan focused his mind on the thin jade-like, mountainous Spiritual Seeds and instantly understood the detailed information about them.

[Snow Barrier Ice Jade Lotus, a Fifth Rank Spirit Plant. During cultivation, it must be planted in Ice Spirit Soil or Spirit Ores and nourished with ice-attribute Spiritual Liquid. Once matured, it can be used as a key ingredient for the Fifth Grade Dan Medicine Ice Chi Pills, or to assist cultivation relevant techniques and divine abilities, as well as feeding spirit beasts of the same attribute.]

[On the day of barrier-breaking, it will bloom!]

“Ice attribute Spirit Soil and Spirit Ores… I don’t have any Spirit Soil for now, but I do have Third Grade Hundred-Year Ice Spirit and its advanced purified version, the Fourth Grade Ice Soul Pill. These should be more than enough to cultivate a Fifth-Quality Spirit Plant,” he muttered to himself.

“As for ice-attribute Spiritual Liquid… When I left that Incomplete Secret Realm, I took away a lot of Hidden Spring Spirit Rain, which can also ensure its growth.”

Lu Xuan felt much more at ease and took out a piece of Hundred-Year Ice Spirit from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, pounded a small pit in it with his fist, and perfectly placed the Snow Barrier Ice Jade Lotus Spiritual Seed into it.

“That Qi Wuheng Star Envoy and the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce are indeed generous. They gave a Fifth Rank Treasure as a congratulatory gift, and all items necessary for a Spirit Plant Master, which is just right for my liking,” he mused.

Gazing at the Spiritual Seed, which seemed increasingly crystal clear within the Hundred-Year Ice Spirit, he felt moved.

“However, as long as I can continue to reap Light Clusters, my wealth and strength will definitely surpass them.”

Lu Xuan had great confidence in himself or, to be precise, in the Light Clusters.

After all, out of the Light Cluster rewards he had earned, only a few were from Fifth-Quality Spirit Plants, while the rest were fourth grade or lower. With just these, he had been able to successfully break through to the Condensing Pill Stage, and his strength was much stronger than other newly-promoted Jindan Cultivators.

Not to mention the many Fifth, Sixth, and even Seventh grade Spirit Plants that were about to mature in the Spirit Field.

He strolled through the Spirit Field with ease and a relaxed pace, inspecting the status of the many Spirit Plants.

The growth conditions of many Spirit Plants were exceptionally good, with several already nearing maturity, and the harvest of Light Clusters was imminent.

“Eh? Another leaf of Pure Lustrous Tea has matured.”

On the jagged tea tree, there were still two pale blue tea leaves. The surface of the tea leaves shimmered with a clear light, evoking a refreshing and natural sensation from afar.

The one located higher up caught Lu Xuan’s attention, as he noticed that the semi-transparent progress bar underneath it was fully filled.

He felt incredibly pleased and carefully plucked the pale blue tea leaf.

[Pure Lustrous Tea Leaf, upon consumption, can greatly enhance a cultivator’s comprehension. The effect can last for a considerably long period, gradually diminishing over time until it fades. Moreover, it forms a clear spiritual aura on the cultivator’s body, providing purification against demons, filth, and other contaminations, and warding off all sorts of evil entities.]

“A treasure that improves comprehension. If I use it myself, I must save it for a critical moment,” Lu Xuan thought with resolution. He took out an Exquisite Jade Box from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, placed the Pure Lustrous Tea Leaf inside, and then his gaze landed on the shimmering White Light Group on the branches.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the Light Group, and in an instant, the Light Group silently shattered into myriad fine light dots. The dots converged into a river of light, rushing into Lu Xuan’s body swiftly.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[Harvested a leaf of Fifth Rank Pure Lustrous Tea, obtained a Sixth Grade Cultivation Technique “Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method”.]

The thought vanished, and an ancient tome appeared in Lu Xuan’s hands.

From the tome, pure energy cascaded down, and upon opening it, one could see thousands of minute characters swimming about—a clear sign this was no ordinary object.

Lu Xuan closed the book, his mind focusing intently on this ancient volume, and in an instant, he gained detailed knowledge about it.

[“The Great Five Elements”, a sixth-grade technique from the Mysterious Sky Sect of the Strange Realm’s Xuan Sky Realm, allows one to cultivate to the Golden Core Completion. Once cultivation is successful, one becomes invulnerable to myriad forms of evil, especially adept at restraining evil demon and heretical techniques and treasure items, and there is also the possibility of comprehending divine skills for slaying monsters and banishing evil.”]

“A sixth-grade technique!”

Great joy rose in Lu Xuan’s heart.

After his breakthrough to the Condensing Pill Realm, the only technique he had mastered was “The Great Five Elements” from the Sky Sword Sect, but that technique only extended to the Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm, without a subsequent part for after core formation.

Now, “The Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method” filled that gap.

“Hmm, although most of my cultivation level comes from the Light Cluster, it’s still necessary to have proper techniques.”

“At the very least, the spiritual power that arises within my body needs to be refined and absorbed by a technique.”

“Furthermore, when cultivating this technique, there’s also the chance to comprehend divine skills for the punishment of evil.”

“Cultivate! I must cultivate it well!”

Lu Xuan exclaimed inwardly.

However, he was self-aware; he knew that with his level of comprehension, attempting to fathom a sixth-grade technique was no overnight endeavor, so he did not rush for success, maintaining a good attitude, he opened the tome and perused the characters upon it meticulously.

“?”

After a little over half a time system, he closed the tome, his mind a blank slate.

“What does the tome say? It seems like I recognize the words, but I completely do not understand the content.”

He felt that he might have overestimated himself and resolutely retrieved a piece of Pure Lustrous Tea Leaves from the storage bag and swallowed it.

“Comprehension! Increase by nine hundred ninety-nine!”

A pure essence diffused from his throat, meandering through Lu Xuan’s limbs, ultimately entering his Sea of Consciousness and lingering there.

In an instant, his thoughts became unprecedentedly clear and sharp, gaining new insight into the content of the tome.

As if enlightened, he stood silently on the spot, only coming back to his senses several time systems later.

“Indeed, a fifth-rank treasure—it has elevated my modest comprehension to a level of genius.”

He opened his eyes, with a glint of brilliance flashing within, and spoke softly.

With the aid of the Pure Lustrous Tea Leaves, his comprehension had greatly improved. Re-examining the content of the tome was no longer as obscure, and he gained a preliminary understanding of “The Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method.”

Nevertheless, deciphering a sixth-grade technique was not easy, requiring a long time of contemplation before one could truly comprehend and cultivate it successfully.

“It’s a pity that there’s only one piece of Pure Lustrous Tea Leaves left on the tree.”

Lu Xuan looked at the Pure Lustrous Tea Spirit Plant, feeling a trace of regret.

Two leaves had yielded the sixth-grade Clear Marrow Jade Liquid and “The Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method”, both rare and precious items, making him feel reluctant to part with the last leaf.
