You Cultivate, I Farm

Time alone in the cave abode flew by, and before he knew it, a month had passed.

One day, as Lu Xuan was cultivating spiritual plants, a familiar, elderly voice came from outside the cave abode.

“Senior Lu, are you in the cave abode? I have brought some spiritual seeds for you.”

“Wood Daoren?”

In Lu Xuan’s mind emerged the figure of a tall elder with reddish eyes, indeed the treasure-appraising “cultivator” from the branch of the Commerce Association, who liked to collect various treasures and owned a bootleg treasure tower. He was straightforward and had many dealings with him.

He had even acquired from him the bronze long pike conducive to fostering the Sha Yuan Fruit, as well as the sixth-grade Skeleton Demon View Spirit Seed.

“So it is Taoist friend Wood; I apologize for not coming to greet you sooner, please forgive me.”

Lu Xuan opened the formation and welcomed the tall elder inside.

“Not at all, it is I who disturb Senior’s cultivation,”

The two of them entered the yard, one after the other.

“Senior Lu, you previously mentioned to Master Wen that you wanted the Commerce Association to help collect some Thunderstorm Lotus Spirit Seeds.”

“Master Wen gathered quite a few from the headquarters and various branches and specifically asked me to bring them to you.”

Wood Daoren took a sip of Jade Wash Spirit Dew and clarified his purpose directly.

“Wood Daoren and Taoist friend Wen have gone to much trouble,”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

Fourth-grade spirit seeds, even in larger quantities, were not difficult for the Sea Tower Commerce Association to handle.

Of course, this was also a reflection of the high status Lu Xuan held. As a guest elder of the Commerce Association and constantly demonstrating his talent and proficiency in cultivating spiritual plants, the association naturally tried to meet his needs as much as possible.

“Senior Lu, here are thirty Thunderstorm Lotus Spirit Seeds, please have a look,”

Wood Daoren took out dozens of silver-white lotus seeds. The surface of the seeds bore a slender mark of thunder, containing a faint trace of thunder energy within.

“Correct, all are high-quality spirit seeds; the Commerce Association is thoughtful.”

Lu Xuan confirmed the spirit seeds were correct and slowly nodded.

“May I know the price of these spirit seeds?”

Although he served as a guest elder of the Commerce Association, maintaining a basic distinction between public and private was still necessary. Having the Commerce Association help collect so many Thunderstorm Lotus Spirit Seeds had already been difficult; taking them for free would be a bit excessive.

“According to headquarters, there are two options,”

“One is to entrust these Thunderstorm Lotus Spirit Seeds to you for cultivation, and then compensate you later based on the quantity and quality of the lotus seeds produced.”

“The other is to sell them to you at a slightly lower price.”

“Please, Senior, decide for yourself which method you prefer.”

Wood Daoren said softly.

“The second option.”

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and made a decision.

If it had been in the past, he would likely have chosen the first option; being compensated with both money and treasures was essentially double-dipping. But now, his decision depended on the circumstances.

Having acquired Light Orb Treasures and matured spiritual plants from the grocery store, he had countless spirit stones in hand. Additionally, since Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds had a wide range of uses, including feeding the Thunder Dragon Behemoth and aiding in the cultivation of the Thunder Method, he was naturally not interested in the trivial compensation.

“Alright, the price set by the Commerce Association is five thousand low-grade spirit stones per seed. I hope Senior finds this acceptable?”

“That’s acceptable.”

Lu Xuan nodded.

When he first entered the Heavenly Star Cave, he had bought a Thunderstorm Lotus Spirit Seed from the Commerce Association and remembered spending six thousand low-grade spirit stones. The price now offered was already very favorable.

He immediately took out fifteen hundred middle-grade spirit stones and received the thirty spirit seeds from the elder’s hand.

“By the way, Senior Lu, there is another matter.”

Wood Daoren confirmed the number of Spirit Stones was correct and, after hesitating for a moment, spoke to Lu Xuan.

“Cultivator, please speak.”

“Senior had not yet advanced to Core Formation when you took a Bizarre Spiritual Seed from me for planting on my behalf.”

“At that time, since we did not know each other well and the seed was valuable, Senior mortgaged a treasure with me. I wonder if you remember this?”

“Indeed, it happened.”

“I need to return to the Mu Family for closed-door cultivation, and I am unsure when I’ll meet Senior again. Thus, I am returning this Nail-head Arrow to Senior.”

“As for the Skeleton Demon View Spiritual Plant, you may continue to cultivate it, and just inform me when it matures.”

The elder took out a segment of a dark arrow shrouded in black Qi from his Storage Bag.

“Okay, you can rest assured about the Skeleton Demon View; I will definitely pass it to you when the time comes.”

Seeing his firm expression, Lu Xuan did not refuse and accepted the Nail-head Arrow.

He noticed the elder’s body was full of Spiritual Energy and his Divine Soul was complete, his eyes brightened.

“Is Wood Daoren returning to break through to Core Formation?”

He asked with a smile.

“Recently, I’ve had some gains in my cultivation, and there’s a slight chance for breakthrough, so I am specially returning to the Mu Family.”

“The Mu Family has a better environment of Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Objects that increase the success rate of Core Formation. With family elders’ protection, the likelihood of advancement should be higher.”

Joy unconsciously spread across Wood Daoren’s face.

“Then, I wish Wood Daoren success in advancing to Core Formation!”

Lu Xuan blessed him. Hearing that the elder had so much support for his advancement to Core Formation, he felt unruffled.

No condition could match my Light Cluster treasures.

“Thank you, Senior. I will try my best to keep pace with you,” said Wood Daoren, bowing his head.

The Weird Spiritual Plant planted in the Evil Strange Spirit Field where flesh and souls abound; Lu Xuan didn’t suggest visiting it.

The elder, keen-minded, also didn’t ask directly and sat in the courtyard for a while. He sought advice from Lu Xuan about advancing to Core Formation before finally taking his leave.

After seeing him off, Lu Xuan went to the Spirit Field and found a reasonably large empty area to plant thirty Thunder Fury Lotus Spirit Seeds into the Spirit Soil.

After planting, he employed the exquisitely refined Spirit Rain Technique, letting strands of Spirit Rain fall gently, seeping into the Spirit Soil, nourishing the Silver White Spirit Seeds inside.

He entered the Evil Strange Spirit Field.

As soon as he entered, a dense Yin Qi hit him, making his skin feel a cold chill.

Inside, countless Resentful Spirits floated, with flesh regenerating and bones scattered everywhere, resembling a hell on earth.

Lu Xuan, long accustomed to this sight, observed the numerous Weird Spiritual Plants with a calm demeanor.

“The Burning Soul Flower has matured.”

He looked at a dark Spiritual Plant in front of him.

At the top of the Spiritual Plant, a dark flower bloomed vigorously. Above the flower, numerous Yin Souls, attracted by some unknown Spiritual Power, shattered silently upon approaching, turning into countless black ashes that quietly merged into the petals.

Inside the petals, faint black light shone, seeming like irregular Soul Fragments floating up and down, as if trying to draw Lu Xuan’s soul into them.

Lu Xuan carefully picked the dark flower and set it aside, his gaze focused entirely on the White Light Group that emerged subsequently.

“Having absorbed so many Yin Soul Resentments from me, I wonder what kind of treasure it will yield.”

The Light Group flickered slightly at the top of the Spiritual Plant, exuding an inexplicable allure.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the Light Group. Instantly, the Light Group shattered silently, like fireworks exploding, turning into a sky full of tiny light points.

The light points rapidly changed, forming the apparition of a scripture that instantly entered Lu Xuan’s body.

“[Harvested one Fifth Rank Burning Soul Flower, obtained the Sixth Grade Technique”Soul-Seizing Scripture”].”
