I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 575: Chapter 573: The End of the Fourth Grade Spirit Plant_1

A thought flashed across his mind, and a pearl appeared in his hand.

The pearl was about the size of a pigeon egg with the surface pattern resembling heaving sea waves. The faint sound of surging waves could be heard. Inside, a ferocious shadow of a Turtle Dragon was faintly visible.

Lu Xuan’s mind converged on the pearl in his hand, and he immediately understood all the details about it.

[Turtle Dragon Pearl, a six-product treasure, made from the demon core of a strange Turtle Dragon. After sacrifice refining, it obtains abilities to communicate and tame Flood Dragons inferior to it in rank and move freely underwater, able to control and defend against water, able to sense related treasure houses and treasures of the Turtle Dragon.]

“A six-product treasure!”

Lu Xuan was delighted.

This Turtle Dragon Pearl could communicate and tame Jiaolong and Chilong with lower ranks than it, and could also defend against water, which was a great weapon in the sea.

Previously, he had excavated quite a few third-grade Water Movement Beads from the Glowworm Grass Light Group, which allowed him to move freely in deep water, but they didn’t have any attack power, far from the present Turtle Dragon Pearl.

Moreover, the Turtle Dragon Pearl could sense related treasure houses and treasures, perhaps it could bring a great opportunity to Lu Xuan.

He put away the Turtle Dragon Pearl and went back to the courtyard.

Of all the spirit beasts he raised, only the Fire Separation Flood Dragon could swallow the Dragon Bone Herb, but its breakthrough was still a long way away, so Lu Xuan temporarily stored the Dragon Bone Herb into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

The acquisition of the six-product treasure, the Turtle Dragon Pearl, greatly improved his mood, which, in turn, greatly increased his motivation to cultivate more spiritual plants.

The next day, he came to the area where the third-rank Ice Glowworm Grass was planted.

These seven Ice Glowworm grasses represented his future cultivation rewards, so he paid extra attention to them and checked on them every day.

The slim seedlings were light blue, with a thin frost layer on the leaf edges. A faint chill lingered around them. They looked about the same as the Water Glow Grass.

Lu Xuan took turns to apply the basic skills of cultivating spiritual plants like the Spirit Rain Technique and Wood Birth Technique, then went to other Spirit Fields and observed the cultivation of other spiritual plants.

“The Emperor Dates will be ripe soon.”

On a deep yellow date tree, more than a dozen bright yellow spiritual dates were growing. The Earth’s spiritual light was pulsating, releasing a pleasant, sweet scent from a distance.

“Huh?”

Behind the Emperor Dates, he noticed a gray vine, and looking at the stem of the Emperor Dates, he could vaguely see traces of gray sap.

Lu Xuan sneered and swiftly clutched the grey vine and pulled it out.

“Planning on stealing my spiritual plants again?”

Holding the squirming Demonic Vine in the air, Lu Xuan said, smiling.

After relocating to the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, this Demonic Vine continued its old habit to roam among the spirit plants every day. Seeing the favorite Spirit Plant ripe, it wanted to mark it, then retreated and hid inside the Enchanted Immortal Peach forest amidst the Pink Miasma.

Lu Xuan flicked the Demonic Vine’s body with his fingers, causing it to wriggle even more vigorously, its vine branches extending many tentacle-like branches in various directions.

“Return to your ‘Gentle Township’, stay in your little comfort zone.”

He threw the Demonic Vine into the distant forest of Enchanted Immortal Peach.

After inspecting all the spirit plants, Lu Xuan returned to the courtyard, fetched a variety of spirit fruits from the house, ground them into a pulp, and proceeded with different processes.

These spiritual fruits were meant for brewing the Hundred Fruit Spirit Syrup and Jade Washed Spirit Dew. Some were cultivated by himself, and others were purchased during his visit to the Star Plucking Building.

The leftover Spiritual Syrup and Spiritual Dew wasn’t much, and the various spirit beasts consumed quite a lot every day, resulting in his idea of brewing more.

“Friend Lu, are you in the cave?”

While he was processing the spirit fruits, suddenly, a somewhat familiar deep voice echoed from outside his cave.

Lu Xuan sent out his spiritual sense and discovered that Luo Ming, who had visited him before, was standing outside the cave.

“Friend Luo, please, come in.”

He immediately went out of the cave, unlocked the Formation Restriction and cheerfully greeted Luo Ming.

“The variety of the spirit plants within Friend Lu’s cave is really rich. You truly are a Spirit Plant Master.”

Passing by the perimeter of the Spirit Field, Luo Ming commented.

“I spend most of my time on them every day, even my cultivation has slacked off a lot.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

The two entered the courtyard, and he served up a spiritual fruit tea.

Luo Ming took a sip of the spiritual tea and placed it on the jade stone table.

“Friend Lu, how are you settling into Thunder Fire Star Cave?”

“Everything’s fine.”

“Have you been to the Thunder Sea?”

“I’ve been there a few times, but with my modest cultivation, I dare not venture too far in. I can only gather some spirit thunder at the periphery.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“Friend Lu, you are proficient in the path of spiritual plants. I come here this time to ask for your help concerning some matters about spiritual plants.”

“I can’t claim to be proficient, but I do have a bit of knowledge and fairly rich cultivation experience.”

“Please tell, Friend Luo. I will do my utmost to assist within my capabilities.”

Lu Xuan modestly refrained from making absolute statements.

“Here’s the thing. I seldom cultivate spiritual plants. But because of practicing an illusion technique, I planted a Bewildered Yin Wood, a fourth grade spirit plant, several years ago.”

“It was growing well, but recently I found some anomalies.”

“The Bewildered Yin Wood, for unknown reasons, became extremely wilted, looking feeble, much weaker than usual.”

“Have you changed the spirit soil, spiritual energy environment, or cultivation methods?”

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

“It’s always been planted in my cave. The spirit soil and spiritual energy are as usual. As for the cultivation methods, I have the experience of cultivating Bewildered Yin Wood before, so I am pretty confident about it.”

After pondering for a while, the one-eyed middle-aged man said slowly.

“Have you checked if any strange worm has invaded the spirit plant? Or have there been intrusions of Yin Qi or Evil Spite Qi?”

“I’m not sure about that. I’ve thought of some solutions, but still, have no clue. In the end, I thought of you, Friend Lu, and have come to seek your help.”

The one-eyed middle-aged man looked sincerely at Lu Xuan.

“I can’t find any issues with just a few words. Shall I go to your cave and take a look at the spirit plant?”

Lu Xuan asked.

“Alright! I really appreciate it, Friend Lu.”

A look of joy appeared on Luo Ming’s face. The two didn’t linger and directly headed for his cave dwelling.

The two were not far away from each other, and they reached the destination in less than half a moment.

“Friend Lu, please come in.”

The one-eyed middle-aged man led Lu Xuan into a spacious cave dwelling.

“My humble abode is modest, not half as big as yours, Friend Lu. Excuse the simplicity.”

“Not at all, not at all. If I didn’t have so many spirit plants to cultivate, I wouldn’t have rented such a large cave dwelling. A small courtyard would be enough.”

Lu Xuan said modestly.

As they were about to go and inspect the abnormal spirit plant Luo Ming had spoken of in the back mountain, a loud booming noise suddenly sounded in their ears, as if thunder was striking down beside them.

“That’s the Thunder Jiao I’m raising. I brought it to visit you before, Friend Lu. Some time ago, I obtained a treasure from the Thunder Sea. The Thunder Jiao is currently using that treasure to refine its bloodline and temper its flesh body.”

Seeing the confusion on Lu Xuan’s face, the one-eyed middle-aged man hurriedly explained.

The two walked for about ten zhang, and entered a spirit field.
