I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Lu Xuan on his side, was striving tirelessly to obtain that Eighth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed.

Inside the stone hut, robust Sword Intent and Slaughter Sword Intent churned intensely, provoking a slight prickling sensation on his skin.

He took no notice of it and pulled out from his small-sized book a variety of divine and extraordinary long swords, each with its own unique shape.

"Old buddy, I've come to see you," he said, looking down at the mottled sword scabbard not far ahead, his voice filled with deep concern.

The scabbard lay on the ground, motionless, as if it had seen through the worldly illusions and didn't want to bother with Lu Xuan.

"Look, what have I brought for you?"

A meaningful smile crept across Lu Xuan's face.

"The Peacock King Sword! Your old flame for many years! Seemingly upright and proper, but you know what I mean."

A golden giant sword appeared above the scabbard.

The scabbard trembled slightly as its spiritual nature finally began to change.

"And this."

"The Azure Profound Wither Bloom Sword Grass, seven as one, you haven't tasted this sensation before, have you?"

Seven Azure Profound Wither Bloom Sword Grass blades appeared at the same time above the scabbard, interacting with each other in a clearly harmonious and tacit manner.

The Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath trembled even more intensely now, as thick Sword Qi flowed out like water from its slit.

"And last, but not least! Your portable harem! Whatever you desire, you can find it on this one!"

Lu Xuan pulled out from the small-sized book a Sword Mystic Porcupine.

The Sword Mystic Porcupine, with unpredictable Sword Qi breathing in and out, rotated slightly, seeming somewhat uneasy in the unfamiliar environment.

The moment it saw the Sword Mystic Porcupine, the lustful scabbard could no longer restrain its inner impulses, flashing instantly onto one of its spikes, perfectly fitting, penetrating straight into the sword heart.

Lu Xuan stepped out of the stone hut, ignoring the sound of Sword Chanting that entered his ears.

After a while, he stepped back into the hut and, seeing the chaotic Sword Qi scattered all over the ground, a smile emerged on his face.

"You're satisfied this time, right?"

The Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath arched slightly in agreement.

"If you're satisfied, then do your job well for me."

"Look at your efficiency these days, none of those Mutated Spirit Seeds have shown any new changes."

"If this continues, I will make sure you never get to touch your Flying Sword harem again."

Lu Xuan spoke to the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, the scabbard's slit exerted a powerful suction force, pulling in the many Mutated Spirit Seeds that Lu Xuan had finished examining.

Only then did Lu Xuan leave contentedly.

"The time for the Eighth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed to be conceived is getting shorter, and I must put more pressure on the scabbard."

He returned to his cave abode, entering his Personal Spatial,

"Kid Lu, you're here?"

In the Thunder Behemoth's Territory, the Green Horn Thunder Son woke up from its slumber, its voice booming in Lu Xuan's ears like distant thunder.

"Senior, have you been able to sleep well in my Personal Spatial?"

Lu Xuan, while tossing a few Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds to the Strange Species Thunder Behemoth, asked the approaching Green Horn Thunder Son.

"Not bad, it's somewhat more peaceful than in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave."

The Green Horn Thunder Son yawned, and immediately silver-white lightning burst forth from its mouth and nose like a cloud cluster.

"That's good."

Hearing its words, Lu Xuan nodded lightly, yet a faint, hard-to-detect worry flickered in the corner of his eye.

In his divine sense, the life force of the ancient exotic beast before him had clearly weakened since last time, a fact corroborated by the increasingly numerous Thunder Death Crystals on its body.

"When the Sky Origin Fruit ripens, if it bears treasure that can extend lifespan, I'll let the Thunder Son try it first."

He made a silent decision in his heart and went to the place where the Thunder Behemoth's clan treasure, the Nine Heavens Thundercalling Stele, was buried.

In the surrounding area, two plants of the E-Mu Green Thunder Vine were planted, with over a hundred Thunder Fury Lotus Spirit Seeds placed nearby.

"I wonder if, under the lure and stimulation of this Thunder Element Spirit Land, mutated spirit seeds might emerge."

With a thought from Lu Xuan, all the Thunder Fury Lotus Spirit Seeds immediately came before him.

He planted each one into the Spirit Soil and then examined the detailed status of all spirits seeds.

[Thunderstorm Lotus, Fourth Grade Spirit Plant...]

[Thunderstorm Lotus, Fourth Grade Spirit Plant...]

Similar thoughts flashed through his Sea of Consciousness like a lantern festival parade.

"Hmm?"

After checking through information on more than thirty spirit seeds in succession, his expression finally showed a slight change.

[Thunderstorm Lotus, Fourth Rank Mutant Spiritual Plant, the plant contains a thunderous aura far beyond that of a normal Thunderstorm Lotus, and when mature, its lotus seeds will condense with pure power of thunder and lightning, which can be used to feed Thunder Attribute Spirit Beasts or assist in cultivating certain Thunder-Related Technique Divine Abilities.]

"Finally, some of the spirit seeds have mutated."

Lu Xuan felt a surge of emotion.

Out of over a hundred and twenty spirit seeds, a total of three had mutated, marking the first step in the improvement of the Thunderstorm Lotus.

"The beginning is the hardest part, but once there is mutation, advancing it to a Fifth Rank Spirit Plant becomes much easier."

He placed the remaining spirit seeds back near the Nine Heavens Thundercalling Stele; the three mutated seeds, on the other hand, were planted in the Spirit Soil and were nurtured with basic Formula Methods like the Spirit Rain Technique.

Inside the space, the Fifth-Quality Pure Yang Golden Lotus and the Five-Elements Illusory Fruit nearly ripened at the same time.

Lu Xuan harvested some of the Treasure Item from the Light Cluster, leaving behind fifteen plants each for Seed Condensation.

"If there are enough spirit seeds, there's a higher possibility of inducing mutated spirit seeds during the stimulating process."

He had the Method of Seed Condensation for these two rare Fifth Rank Spirit Plants, and so, he was not overly concerned about those spirit seeds being used for experimentation.

As long as he managed to improve them into Sixth-grade Spiritual Plants, the rewards he would receive far outweighed the current investments.

"The Pure Yang Golden Lotus Spirit Seed can be stimulated with the Strange Fire from the Five Fire Seven Birds Fan, and as for the Five-Elements Illusory Fruit, for now, it can only be placed in the Great Five Elements Annihilation Array, using the dense Five Elements Power inside to induce mutation," Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The Great Five Elements Annihilation Array was a Seventh Grade Array, and the Five Fire Seven Birds Fan was an even higher Eighth Grade Treasure Item. Given the disparity in ranks and their matching attributes, the spirit seeds stood a slim chance of mutating.

"There's no choice, high-grade spirit seeds are just too scarce. I'll have to improve several myself, to reap more Light Cluster rewards."

He contemplated in his mind and exited his Personal Spatial.

Years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Eighth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds had still not been conceived, but beneath the calm surface, undercurrents pulsed.

Lu Xuan entered the Sword Tomb, as usual, pouring out all the mutated White Bone Killing Sword Grass Spirit Seeds and inspecting them one by one.

"Mutated spirit seeds!"

"Still mutated spirit seeds!"

He kept his expression unchanged, his heart as placid as an ancient well.

Suddenly, a piece of information that flashed through his mind caught his attention.

[Life-taking Prison Suppressing Sword Grass, Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant, improved from Class 5 White Bone Killing Sword Grass under the nurturing of Sword Qi Spirit Land and Treasure Items, the growing process requires absorbing powerful Slaughter Sword Intent.]

[Innate Sword Instrument, when mature can be used to refine into a Low-grade magical treasure, its power of slaughter is unparalleled among treasures of the same Rank, a casual strike carries endless Slaughter Sword Intent, captivating souls, seizing minds, making adversaries feel as though they're trapped in the eighteenth layer of hell, suffering endless torments.]

[The cultivator must have an extremely firm will, being near the Sword Grass for extended periods will be influenced by Slaughter Sword Intent, gradually becoming enthralled by killing without realizing it, and those without strong determination may turn into humanoid monsters with nothing but slaughter in their eyes.]

[All beings are imprisoned, only through killing can one prevail!]
