I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

"Friend Lu is being too modest. With your expertise in the path of Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast, if you can't find the root of the problem, then I'm afraid there's no one else in the Liyang Region who could manage it," Qi Wuheng immediately lauded upon hearing this.

"Haha, Fellow Qi, you flatter me."

"Please lead the way ahead, friend Lu Mou will take a look."

Lu Xuan laughed as he spoke.

With a nod and a smile, Qi Wuheng joined Lu Xuan in commanding their Flying Swords, swiftly heading to where the abnormal Spirit Beasts were gathering.

According to him, all the Spirit Beasts that had lost their senses were concentrated in the Wutu Star Cave, where an immense natural set of prohibitions and restrictions made it easy to trap a large number of High Rank Spirit Beasts.

Moreover, the Wutu Star Owner and the Star Masters of Thunderfire and Green Wood were guarding there to prevent the Spirit Beasts from starting a rampage.

Passing through several entrances of Star Caves, the two men entered the Wutu Star Cave.

It was Lu Xuan's first visit, and he looked around curiously.

What caught his eye were various strange mountains and ridges, and odd rocks. Between heaven and earth, a heavy Spiritual Energy was present, pulling him down unconsciously.

Under Qi Wuheng's guidance, they flew into a cliff that was a thousand zhang high.

Inside the cliff was a different world of its own, with an extremely vast space. In the very center were hundreds of towering stone pillars, each etched with intricate patterns through which Spiritual Energy circulated, forming several Deep Yellow Spiritual Energy Shields.

The sound of beast roars reached Lu Xuan's ears, rolling like thunder, with the violence within them clearly audible.

Looking down, Lu Xuan saw that under the Deep Yellow Barriers, there were various shapes of High Rank Spirit Beasts, each with crimson eyes and violent Monster Tribe energy around them.

Green vines grew from below, entrapping the delirious Spirit Beasts, and about a dozen Silver White Talismans flew back and forth between the pillars, occasionally casting down thunderbolts that viciously struck the frenzied Spirit Beasts.

"The three Star Masters have joined forces to trap many Fifth-grade and Sixth-grade, as well as several Seventh Grade Spirit Beasts," Qi Wuheng briefly described the situation below to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

Though there were large-scale prohibitions aiding them, the strength of the three Star Masters was evident, given that they could trap so many High Rank Spirit Beasts.

The two entered a quiet hall.

Inside were more than ten cultivators, among whom were three whose presence was as deep as the ocean, clearly the Thunderfire, Wutu, and Green Wood Star Owners.

Lu Xuan had once attended the birthday celebration of the Thunderfire Star Owner and because of the matter involving the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad, had left a significant impression on the latter.

The other two included a man with a stable temperament, sporting a Deep Yellow Jade Belt at his waist, with heavy earth-element Spiritual Energy falling down, making him seem as if rooted to the ground.

The last was a young woman with exceedingly beautiful features, pointy ears, faint blue patterns on her pale skin, and an aura of nature about her.

"Reporting to the Star Masters, Friend Lu Xuan has been brought here," Qi Wuheng respectfully bowed.

"Junior Lu Xuan pays respects to all three seniors."

"Little friend Lu, it's been many years since we last met, and I see your cultivation has advanced even further," Thunderfire True Monarch greeted with a smile and a nod.

The Wutu Star Owner gave a slight nod in response.

As for the Green Wood Star Owner, she seemed to perceive the rich plant-like Spiritual Energy on Lu Xuan and a smile of appreciation appeared on her fair face.

"Little friend Lu, your name as a Spirit Plant Master has reached my ears long ago, and today I finally get to meet you."

"We will have to trouble you to take a look at those abnormal Spirit Beasts later."

"I dare not presume such honor, being able to assist the seniors is my good fortune," Lu Xuan quickly replied.

Learning that the Thunderfire True Monarch had noticed his progress in cultivation, he felt a silent shiver in his heart.

"The Fifth Grade Clear Mayfly Feather Robe might shield one's aura, but before a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it becomes somewhat insufficient."

"I hope that after the Cicada Wood matures, I can acquire the corresponding treasure item or divine ability secret technique."

Fortunately, the other party wasn't overly rude and didn't probe too thoroughly; otherwise, the Seventh Grade Glazed Red Phoenix Bone refined within my body and the Yin Yang Origin Magnetism Divine Needle in the magical treasure Gluttonous Bag within my dantian might have been discovered."

"Little friend Lu, please wait a moment. Besides you, two other cultivators skilled in beast taming from different sects have been invited."

Thunderfire True Monarch said indifferently.

"Certainly, senior," Lu Xuan responded.

Lu Xuan nodded heavily, without any objection in his heart.

As a loose cultivator, he didn't have any advantage in terms of cultivation realm compared to the cultivators from the big sects of the Seven Realms of the Central Continent. It was perfectly normal for Heavenly Star Cave not to put all their hopes on him alone. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

A short while later, two cultivators arrived together.

"Come, let me introduce you three to each other."

"This is fellow Lu Xuan, who cultivates in the Heavenly Star Cave. In the entire Heavenly Star Cave, there is no one better in the path of spiritual plants, and he is also highly proficient with spirit beasts," introduced Thunderfire True Monarch to the two men.

"Greetings, fellow Lu."

"I've heard quite a few fellow disciples mention that there's a Spirit Plant Master in Thunderfire Star Cave who can brew several kinds of top-quality spirits, famous for a long time."

Of the two, one was a young man with a rough appearance, who demonstrated a strong wildness in every move.

The young man was at the Golden Core Completion Realm and looked at Lu Xuan with a bit of curiosity.

The other, an old man, was at the Nascent Soul Cultivation stage and nodded slightly to Lu Xuan. Seeing that Lu Xuan was only at the Golden Core Cultivation level and was a loose cultivator, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in his eyes.

However, he didn't show any outward signs in front of the three Star Masters.

"This is Elder Bai Shou, an elder from a Beast Taming Sect, at the Early Nascent Soul Stage Realm. He is fluent in beast language and possesses powerful healing secret techniques, which have cured many high-rank spirit beasts with grave injuries," said Thunderfire True Monarch.

"I have seen True Monarch Bai Shou," Lu Xuan quickly paid his respects.

"This is Fellow Qinshan, a true disciple from the Thousand Beast Sect, at the Golden Core Completion Realm. He has brought a strange treasure that can detect abnormalities within all types of beasts, including birds and insects," continued Thunderfire True Monarch, pointing at the rough-featured youth.

"Greetings, fellow Qin," Lu Xuan greeted with a smile.

"All right, now that the three fellow cultivators have arrived, we entrust the task of handling these aberrant spirit beasts to you," Elder of Wutu Star said with an authoritative voice reaching their ears.

"Based on our conjecture, these spirit beasts that have lost their minds and entered into a rage are most likely associated with some kind of evil demon; however, due to our limited understanding of both the evil demons and the spirit beasts, we haven't pinpointed the exact problem."

"Whether it's investigative treasures or formula methods or healing ones, their effects have all been very limited; hence we can only temporarily trap these spirit beasts and seek other solutions."

"We hope that the three of you can join forces to identify the problem. Heavenly Star Cave will surely reward you handsomely."

Lu Xuan stood to one side, a hardly noticeable smile appeared on his face upon hearing this.

"This is what I've been waiting for."

"With such an excellent opportunity to 'shear wool,' I certainly can't miss it," he thought to himself with a sense of relief.

"Though I am unworthy, on the orders of my sect, I have brought our sect's Green Beast Ancient Mirror to shine on these aberrant spirit beasts and see if we can discover anything," said Qinshan loudly as an odd ancient mirror quietly emerged in front of him.

The mirror's edge was carved with numerous beast-shaped patterns, with faint green beast shadows occasionally jumping out of its surface, only to vanish without a sound.
