You Cultivate, I Farm

The following day.

Lu Xuan awakened from a deep sleep, staring blankly at the ceiling.

“The lingering effects of the Ape Demon Wine are really too strong, I didn’t fully regain clarity even after an entire night.”

“However, the effects are also quite remarkable,” he said, feeling the more vigorous blood Qi and a faint warm current inside his body, a feeling of gratitude in his heart.

“I still need to go to the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree, to bring some to Hong Qinghai.”

“Having stayed in that small world for so long, he deserves some proper reward.”

Yesterday, because of the many Spirit Beasts, he didn’t call Hong Qinghai over.

He was heading there to check on and nurture the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree and was planning to bring some Ape Demon Wine for Hong Qinghai along the way.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan made his way to the Spirit Field Area where the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree was planted, passed through several simple Prohibitions and Restrictions, and entered.

A clear and peaceful voice arose in his ear; not far away, the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree rustled its branches and leaves under the stimulation of literary energy, with black character-like shadows occasionally entering it and disappearing without a trace.

The Treasure Tree had grown to the height of a person; one could smell the fragrance of ink from afar, involuntarily calming one’s heart.

“Senior Lu!”

Hong Qinghai, having finished reciting poetry, bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan at the first opportunity.

Lu Xuan waved his hand and approached the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree to examine the detailed state of this rare Cultivator’s Spirit Plant.

Then, according to the needs of the Treasure Tree, he provided enough Spirit Rain to moisten it.

“The Treasure Tree has grown quite well; you have worked hard during this period,” Lu Xuan said after nurturing the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree, approaching Hong Qinghai.

“It is what I should do,” Hong Qinghai said with a bowed head.

“Here is a small bottle of Spirit Brew; I’ve brewed it recently. It tastes good and can enhance the strength of the flesh body. Give it a try,” Lu Xuan said as he handed Hong Qinghai the white jade small bottle filled with Ape Demon Wine.

“This Spirit Brew…the Spiritual Power is so rich?” Hong Qinghai, feeling the abundant and pure Spiritual Energy of the golden spirit brew in the small bottle, couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Fifth Grade Spirit Brew,” Lu Xuan said with a smile, keeping it simple.

“Fifth Grade? How can this be appropriate?!” Hong Qinghai exclaimed in surprise, resisting the temptation of the Fifth Grade Spirit Brew, and handed it back to Lu Xuan.

He had only broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm a few years ago and never imagined he would have the opportunity to consume Fifth Grade Spirit Brew.

“If I tell you to drink it, just drink it. Why fuss so much?” Lu Xuan’s expression turned a bit more stern as he spoke in a firm tone.

“Yes! I will obey your command!” Hong Qinghai, seeing that Lu Xuan appeared somewhat displeased and fearing to anger him, hurriedly accepted.

“Thank you, Senior, for bestowing such a generous gift!” Overwhelmed by the favor, he knelt on one knee, his face filled with gratitude.

He had come to Lu Xuan’s Cave Mansion with the intention of using the opportunity to cultivate Spiritual Plants to find a place of refuge for himself.

Unexpectedly, after entering, Lu Xuan had provided him with an environment rich in pure Spiritual Power for his Cultivation, a precious Foundation Establishment Pill when he attempted Foundation Establishment, and now, Fifth Grade Spirit Brew.

With all these considerations, how could he not be grateful?

“The lingering effects of the Ape Demon Wine are quite strong; be cautious with it,” Lu Xuan cautioned.

“It’s best to drink it in several sessions, allowing for gradual digestion,”

Lu Xuan said to Hong Qinghai.

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior!”

Hong Qinghai watched Lu Xuan leave, holding the golden spirit brew in his hand, his gratitude for Lu Xuan deepening further.

A few days after returning from the Happy Star cave, Lu Xuan resumed his previous tranquil and fulfilling farming life.

There was no need to take risks competing with demon beasts, cultivators, or demon envoys for opportunities; all he had to do was stay quietly in his cave abode, cultivating spirit plants and nurturing spirit beasts.

He simply took care of the farming, and let the light cluster handle the rest.

That day, after attentively nurturing the many spirit plants in the spirit field, Lu Xuan entered the Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array and took out the Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seed that was placed in the center of the formation.

Originally, to stimulate and improve the two fourth-grade spirit plant species, the Five Elements Fruit and the Earth Fire Heart Lotus, he had placed the Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seed within the Fifth Grade Five Elements Array, while the Earth Fire Heart Lotus Seed was constantly stimulated with Pure Yang True Fire day and night.

The Earth Fire Heart Lotus showed initial signs of success and had obtained a mutated spirit seed.

As for the Five Elements Fruit, there had not been any obvious changes until now.

As usual, he placed the spirit seed, which glowed with dazzling, multicolored spiritual light, into the spirit soil, focusing his mind upon it.

[Five Elements Fruit, fourth-grade spirit plant…]

[Five Elements Fruit,…]

Familiar thoughts surfaced in his mind.

The information was identical, indicating that the spirit seed had not undergone any new changes.

“Hmm, this Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seed seems a little different.”

Lu Xuan noticed that the oval spirit seed in his hand was slightly different from the others.

The insides still shone with dazzling multicolored spiritual light, but unlike other spirit plants, the colors were not clearly delineated. Instead, they were blended together – each containing elements of the others, inseparable from one another.

“I hope this brings about a good change.”

Lu Xuan harbored some expectations for this spirit seed and planted it in the spirit soil, concentrating his mind on it.

[Mutated Five Elements Fruit, fourth-grade spirit plant, a regular Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seed that has undergone a mutation due to the stimulus of the Five Elements Array’s power, which requires Five Elements Spirit Power for nurturing. Once mature, it contains richer and purer Five Elements Spiritual Energy, capable of refining higher quality Five Element Pills.]

[Within the spirit plant, the Five Elements mutually generate and check each other. It is imperative to maintain a balance of Five Elements Spirit Power, otherwise it’s detrimental to the growth of the Five Elements Fruit Spirit Plant.]

[No one understands the Five Elements better than I do.]

“Finally, a mutated Five Elements Fruit has appeared!”

Lu Xuan felt joy in his heart.

Using the Five Elements beasts from the Fifth Grade Mystic Destruction Five Elements Formation to stimulate and nurture the Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seed for so long had finally resulted in a positive change.

Although it was still a fourth-grade spirit plant, it was a good start nonetheless.

As long as he continued stimulation and nurturing, obtaining more mutated Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seeds, cultivating them to maturity and then stimulating them once more, the upgrade of the fourth-grade Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seed to a fifth-grade seemed like a matter of time.

His ability to promptly perceive the detailed status of the spirit seed after stimulation saved him countless hours and energy, thus giving him ample confidence in successfully improving it.

“One must have the Method of Seed Condensation. Otherwise, it will be difficult to obtain a sufficient number of spirit seeds and to speak of improving the species rank of the spirit plant.”

He sighed internally, regretting his hasty retreat that time and not taking more of the Method of Seed Condensation from the Agricultural Department Hall.

“The common methods of seed condensation are not appealing. The third and fourth grades are mostly in the hands of those Great Sects and large families.”

“Still, I need to make use of the Commerce Association’s power to see if I can find some methods of seed condensation, then find corresponding spirit plants for cultivation after I obtain them.”

He already had several decent methods of seed condensation at his disposal, the most widely used being Ice Firefly Grass and ordinary Sword Grass, in addition to the Primordial Essence Herb for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, the Sword Nurturing Gourd, and condensation methods for the two fourth-grade spirit plants, the Five Elements Fruit and the Earth Fire Heart Lotus.

Among the Five Elements Fruit seeds, some were adversely stimulated and became waste seeds.

The majority of the remaining ordinary spirit seeds were continued to be placed by Lu Xuan in the center of the formation, to be stimulated and nourished by the power of the Five Elements.

The mutated Five Elements Fruit Spirit Seed, however, he cultivated in the Five Color Spirit Soil. Once mature, he would use the Method of Seed Condensation to deduce and explore ways to batch condense mutated spirit seeds, thus achieving a virtuous cycle until the improvement of the Fourth Grade Five Elements Fruit to a Fifth Rank was accomplished.
