You Cultivate, I Farm

Since he had the idea of exploring the Blackwater Asterism Cave area by himself, Lu Xuan naturally exuded confidence.

His current strength had already far surpassed that of same-level Cultivators.

In terms of his flesh body, after refining the Seventh Grade Glazed Red Phoenix Bone and being nourished by the Five Viscera Cultivation Temple and Tai Sui’s Meat, as well as consuming countless Spirit Fruit Spirit Liquids that tempered the body, ordinary low-grade magical treasures could hardly harm him.

As for treasures, he possessed a Seventh Grade Southern Bright Thunderfire Mirror, a Sixth Grade Suppressing Prison Vajra Image, a Formless Ice Essence Sword Talisman, Scolding Thunder Wings, and others.

He also mastered two major Fifth-Rank Sword Arts, held the magic treasure Peacock King Sword as well as the Bone Slaying Sword Grass and the Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass—two naturally refining instruments—and had cultivated the “Divine Cloud True Law” and the Five Thunder Righteous Divine Ability.

With numerous other Fifth Rank Treasure Items, as well as his equally powerful Spirit Fruit Transformation, even if he were to encounter a late-stage Jindan Cultivator or a Golden Core Completion Cultivator from a Great Sect, Lu Xuan had the confidence to confront them.

At the very least, he could retreat unscathed.

He had intended to peacefully stay in his Cave Abode to cultivate Spiritual Plants, but the materials needed for the Seventh Grade Azure Dragon Wood were extremely difficult to collect. Luckily, he had the Turtle Dragon Pearl, so he might as well make the trip accordingly.

When Tian Cang True Monarch gave him the Azure Dragon Tree, he did not provide the materials needed for cultivating it.

He merely promised Lu Xuan a hefty reward once the Spirit Plant matured and also gave him a token that, when activated, could summon Tian Cang True Monarch’s assistance—a favor considered invaluable at critical moments.

After deciding to make a trip to the Blackwater Asterism Cave, Lu Xuan went to the back of his Cave Abode.

In a corner of the mountain peak, numerous Enchanted Immortal Peaches were planted, with the Pink Miasma swirling in the peach grove like mist.

He entered the miasma, clenched his hand, and pulled out a gray vine covered in tentacles.

It was the Demonic Vine, having an extremely strong perception of Spiritual Seeds, which he could carry to help him search for any possible Spiritual Seeds within the Secret Land.

He also gathered a large amount of Pink Miasma to take to the Abyss Star Cave for cultivating the three Licentious Flower Spirit Plants.

After the preparations were done, Lu Xuan instructed the Grass Puppet and the numerous Spirit Beasts to leave and then, controlling the Sword Light, he sped towards the Abyss Star Cave.

After entering the Abyss Star Cave Abode, he meticulously cultivated the many Spiritual Plants inside, fed the Blood Spring Clam Mother, and together with his transformation and Spirit of Flesh, set off non-stop for the Blackwater Asterism Cave.

The boundless ocean waves churned, and as far as the eye could see, it was all pitch black. The surging waves seemed to be able to suck one’s Divine Soul into them.

Three Foundation Establishment Cultivators were jointly dealing with a strange sea fish.

The three coordinated exquisitely, constantly keeping the giant fish off-balance while cutting off its escape, slowly grinding it to death.

“Finally took care of this fourth-grade sea fish.”

“Fellow Li, having lived around the Blackwater Asterism Cave for many years, you are quite familiar with the sea Demon Beasts. You should deal with the carcass of that sea fish, while Fellow Zhang and I observe the surroundings to prevent any foul play from sneak attacks,” said a calm and composed young man to a gaunt middle-aged Cultivator.

With their extensive experience exploring Secret Lands together, the three of them trusted each other quite a bit. The middle-aged Cultivator immediately nodded, approached the blood-drenched sea fish, and started processing the carcass with practiced movements.

“Lucky us, there’s a still-maturing Demon Core,” he said as he fished out a pallid Demon Core from the belly of the fish, a hint of joy appearing on his face as he communicated with the other two via a transmission.

The other two were also delighted and simultaneously heightened their vigilance, fearing the sudden appearance of Cultivators who would steal the treasure.

“Friends, I have dealt with it,” said the gaunt middle-aged Cultivator a moment later as he approached the other two and spoke in a soft voice.

“Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Li,” they replied.

After dividing the spoils of war, the three of them finally relaxed.

“This haul is good. We can exchange it for quite a few Spirit Stones. I want to go back and buy some Elixirs to seriously cultivate for a while. What do you fellows plan to do?”

The composed young man spoke.

“Fellow Huang, why not explore a bit more and slay a few more demon beasts from the sea?”

“We’ve been lucky this time; there’s a chance we might find even more fortuitous treasures.”

“Friend Zhang’s words are reasonable. We, as loose cultivators, must strive fiercely for all our cultivation resources and naturally find ways to obtain them.”

“Moreover, although this sea area is rather perilous, it’s also filled with countless opportunities. Deep within, it hides many secret lands, and there are even rumors of a Seventh-Grade Drake Dragon cave abode.”

“If we find it, we could ascend swiftly to the heavens and set foot on the Great Path!”

A fanatical glint flashed in the eyes of the gaunt middle-aged cultivator.

“Alright, then I’ll stay a few more days and join you two in slaying some more demon beasts.”

“As for the rumored Drake Dragon cave abode, I dare not hold too much hope.”

“If it really existed, it would have been found and claimed by those Golden Core Real People long ago, not left for us.”

The composed young man swept his spiritual sense across the storage bag, saw that he still had many charms and elixirs left, and after a moment’s hesitation, nodded in agreement.

As the three of them whispered among themselves, they were completely oblivious to a gray-white pupil stealthily passing underneath the water.

“I truly envy the deep camaraderie among fellow cultivators, exploring secret lands and hunting demon beasts together.”

“Unlike me, who can only go at it alone, led by a treasure, unable to experience the pleasure of finding secret lands through hardships.”

Lu Xuan stowed the gray-white pupil in the palm of his hand and shook his head.

The Turtle Dragon Pearl floated in front of him, trembling non-stop, swiftly sinking towards deeper waters.

Having practiced a water evasion technique and possessing the underwater treasure that emerged from the light cluster earlier, his flesh body was mighty, moving effortlessly through the pitch-black seawater.

His transformation followed closely behind Lu Xuan. The Hell True Water Prohibition Law he cultivated gave him a control over water not weaker than Lu Xuan’s, also allowing him to move with ease.

“The sea water is somewhat strange; it seems to have a very strong contamination ability. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators, if they do not take timely measures, cannot stay in the water for long.”

On Lu Xuan’s body, the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe shone, keeping the faint black aura attempting to invade his body at bay.

The sea region was vast beyond measure; the deeper one went, the greater the risks faced. No wonder the cave abode sensed by the Turtle Dragon Pearl had not been discovered.

As thoughts ran through Lu Xuan’s mind, suddenly, his eyebrows rose.

“Hmm? Is there flesh and blood material being delivered to my doorstep?”

Within his spiritual sense, a twenty-zhang-long, three-headed sea snake attacked like lightning.

From its three gargantuan and fierce heads, dark black water spears were spat out.

Lu Xuan sneered, his heart moved a thought, and an invisible sword qi shot forth.

The sword qi instantly split into thousands, mysterious and unpredictable, with indiscernible transparent ripples appearing in the deep black water.

The ripples circled the three-headed sea snake, and in an instant, the three massive heads fell off at the same time, the severed edges smooth and neat.

The transparent sword qi continued to move, in an instant chopping the giant sea snake’s body into countless even pieces, barely maintaining the sea snake’s form, which he then swept into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

“These demon beasts in Black Water Star Cave sure are generous, knowing my need for flesh and bones, and offering such a large quantity willingly.”

A sigh of appreciation crossed Lu Xuan’s mind as the Soul Lantern spun out, with countless dark red tentacles beneath its stand sucking the sea snake’s soul into the grim white candle within.
