I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Upon returning to the courtyard, seeing the thriving spirit plants in the Spirit Field brought considerable relief to Lu Xuan.

Although his living situation had changed, the Wind Falcon’s welcoming ritual remained unchanged.

Sensing Lu Xuan’s presence, a flash of green light signaled the soft underbelly landing on Lu Xuan’s head, covering his entire body.

Chirping happily, expressing a strong attachment to Lu Xuan.

“It hasn’t even been a day, and it’s this clingy.”

Helpless about the Wind Falcon’s dependence, Lu Xuan pinched its soft belly and with one hand set it down.

Not too far away, the increasingly elusive and unpredictable Cloud Leopard with its thick white puffy paws, stealthily walked past Lu Xuan, feigning elegance.

Lu Xuan leaned in, tugging at the tufts of grey hair on its pointed ears.

“Growl…”

The Cloud Leopard growled, three parts unhappy, seven parts playful, and with its emerald green eyes, silently slunk away.

Lu Xuan went to the courtyard and took out the items he had brought back from his trip.

First, the third-grade Profound Origin Heavy Water; as it came out of the storage bag, his hand, sturdy as a third-grade magic artifact, couldn’t help but weigh down.

He opened the bottle’s stopper, using his spiritual power to lift a droplet of black liquid in front of him.

As soon as he released control, the black spiritual liquid instantly dropped, deeply impacting the spiritual soil, leaving behind a small round pit with the liquid settled at the bottom, showing no sign of evaporating.

“Indeed, water drips can penetrate rock.”

Lu Xuan murmured to himself, removing the drop of Profound Origin Heavy Water, and placed it back in the small white jade bottle.

This was crucial to cultivating the fifth-grade Dragon Bone Grass once he returned to the Back to Heaven Sword Sect.

Then, he used the Earth Pulling Technique to manipulate the structure of the Spirit Soil in the yard, in a few breaths dug out a huge pool.

He then took out the Green Horned Dragon Carp and Rock-shell Turtle eggs from the Life Bag.

As soon as the Green Horned Dragon Carp was put in the pool, its massive dark green tail awkwardly kicked out layer upon layer of splashes, showing a fierce and untamed appearance.

“The little fellow is quite haughty.”

Lu Xuan exclaimed.

“Though you are a third-grade variant Dragon Carp, the True Dragon bloodline hidden within you is much more abundant than others of your kind, but in Thousand Dragon Lake, you are but a small fry.”

In Thousand Dragon Lake, all kinds of Flood Dragons, Chi Dragons are present, there are many much stronger than this Green Horned Dragon Carp.

Forget about others, even against the third-ranked Fire Separation Flood Dragon in his cave mansion, the Green Horned Dragon Carp might not necessarily win.

Regardless, he still needs to spend two and a half years on Void Nether Island, raising this Green Horned Dragon Carp to pass the time.

After the Green Horned Dragon Carp calmed down, Lu Xuan bonded with it, making it his Spirit Beast.

Then, he turned his attention to the Tier 3 Rockshell Turtle egg he had obtained from the auction.

The turtle egg seemed extremely solid and bulky, it was evident that hatching it would not be an easy task. Of course, this indicated that the baby Rock Armor Turtle would have extremely strong defenses once hatched.

Lu Xuan called over the Wind Falcon and instructed,

“This turtle egg is up to you to hatch. For these few days, stay in the courtyard and focus on the egg.”

The Wind Falcon flapped its pale blue broad wings, chirping non-stop, displaying its reluctance.

“Don’t make that face, it’s for your own good to stay in the courtyard since the sea is not safe lately.”

With prior experience in hatching the Fire Separation Flood Dragon, the Wind Falcon was more at ease, getting into position on top of the Rock-shell Turtle egg-

“Chirp! Chirp!”

(This egg is so hard on the stomach.)

Lu Xuan interpreted this meaning from its crisp chirping.

“Bear with it for a while. After it hatches, you can play with the Rock-shell Turtle.”

Lu Xuan replied casually, came into the spirit field, and carefully observed the growth status of all the spirit plants.

The Water Glow Grass had grown healthily and was full of vitality a few months after being planted.

Lu Xuan’s spiritual power surged, strands of Spirit Rain fell down, penetrating into the plant body just right according to the needs of each Water Glow Grass, so that it could be fully absorbed.

This was crucial for him to break through to the mid-term of Foundation Establishment, and he could not afford any carelessness.

After carefully cultivating the Water Glow Grass, Lu Xuan continued to tour around the Spirit Field.

The fourth-grade Xuan Chong Vine, Earthfire Heart Lotus, and Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree were all in their mature stage. It wouldn’t be long before he harvested the White Light Group.

The Second-grade Ordinary Sword Grass, the Third-grade Mutated Wind Thunder Sword Grass, the Third-grade Starlight Sword Grass, and the Fourth­grade Sword Thousand Owls were all growing well. Lu Xuan took the opportunity to review the “Starlight Swordsmanship” and “Thousand Owl Sword Classic”.

Another stalk of Third-grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass, which he had transplanted deliberately from the Sky Sword Sect, was about to fully mature, as indicated by the semi-transparent progress bar beneath it.

“I wonder what reward I will receive for harvesting a third-grade mutated sword grass.”

Lu Xuan was expectant, and a multitude of tiny Sword of Wind and Thunder Qi surged from his Dantian, nourishing the Wind Thunder Sword Grass.

A few days later, everything was as usual on Void Nether Island.

A White Jade Talisman flew into Lu Xuan’s courtyard.

The Immaculate Jade and Cloud Leopard showed no reaction, so Lu Xuan calmly took the talisman.

After stimulating it with spiritual power, a familiar voice came from inside.

“Master Lu, it’s a calm day today, suitable for fishing. Would you like to join me for some sea fishing?”

It was the fishing enthusiast Shi Zhong from the Departure Mountain Sect. When it came to fishing, he unconsciously took a humble attitude and bashfully addressed Lu Xuan as Master.

“I am carefully cultivating a precious spirit plant these days. It’s about to mature and needs a lot of time and energy, so I don’t have spare time to come out.”

“Next time for sure!”

He input a message into the talisman with his spiritual power and let it fly away.

“This Shi Zhong has absolutely no sense of crisis. Even when Demon Envoy traces have appeared, he’s still only concerned about fishing.”

“He may end up hooking a Demon Envoy one of these days.”

Lu Xuan sighed and continued to inspect the Spirit Field.

“Ah, the Wind Thunder Sword Grass has finally matured completely.”

Looking at the Wind Thunder Sword Grass in front of him with the progress bar fully filled, a touch of excitement flashed across Lu Xuan’s heart.

His palm, as translucent as jade, held the sharp edged sword grass and carefully pulled it out.

The Wind Thunder Sword Grass was about three feet long, the sword body had many faint thunder-like runes, countless tiny black sword qi swirled around, like a black hurricane that issued endless sword roars.

Lu Xuan focused on the Wind Thunder Sword Grass and instantly got detailed information about it.

[Wind Thunder Sword Grass, Grade Three Spirit Plant, cultivated and nourished by the Edge Sword of Wind and Thunder. The sword body carries the power of wind and thunder and is a natural sword implement, which can also be refined into a corresponding flying sword.]

“Good quality, not bad.”

Lu Xuan briefly commented and turned his attention to the White Light Group that had appeared.

He took a deep breath and gently touched the surface of the Light Cluster.

Countless tiny points of light exploded, and fine wisps of pervasive sword qi instantly surged into Lu Xuan’s body.

[Harvested one Third-grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass, obtained Fourth­grade Flying Sword Wind Thunder Sword.]

An idea flashed through his mind, and a wonderful flying sword appeared in his hand.

The flying sword was seven parts similar to the Wind Thunder Sword Grass, but appeared more exquisite, and many profound and abstruse runes were drawn on the sword body.

When the spiritual power seeped into the flying sword, stormy winds started and thunder roared, triggering bizarre scenes.

With a light wave, a surge of Wind and Thunder Sword Qi shot out instantly.
