I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

In the hall.

Three people were seated on wooden chairs, forming a triangular formation.

"Friend Lu, I hadn't realized you had such a deep understanding of Spirit Beasts," one of them said.

"If there's a chance, you must visit the Thousand Beast Sect and have a good exchange with my fellow brothers and me."

Qinshan's resonant voice broke the silence.

His Strange Treasure, the Green Beast Ancient Mirror, had failed to detect the presence of the Three Corpses Insect, yet Lu Xuan had pinpointed it accurately, which had greatly impressed him, prompting a desire to form an acquaintance.

"Definitely, definitely, I've long admired the grand name of the Thousand Beast Sect, and I'll need Fellow Qin's guidance for a thorough tour when the time comes," Lu Xuan replied with a laugh.

The two exchanged a few amicable words, showing a keen interest in getting to know each other better, which significantly closed the distance between them.

"Little friend Lu, today has truly opened my eyes," Elder Bai Shou said in his hoarse, aged voice, reaching Lu Xuan's ears.

His tone was devoid of emotional fluctuation, leaving it uncertain whether he was happy or angry.

"Elder Bai Shou praises me too highly; today was merely a stroke of luck," Lu Xuan responded.

"In the field of Beast Taming, I am certainly far behind someone like you.

"Moreover, strictly speaking, what I have done is almost veering into unorthodox practices."

"For a 'Cultivator', cultivation level is fundamental. I have focused all my efforts on Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast, without making any progress in cultivation level or cultivating Divine Skills and other Formula Methods, and it can be said that I have reached a dead end on the path of the great Dao."

Lu Xuan sighed, expressing his feelings.

He sensitively noticed the complicated mindset of the Nascent Soul True Monarch nearby, and naturally, this was to make him feel that Lu Xuan posed no threat, thus putting his mind at ease.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Elder Bai Shou's brow smoothed out, and a hint of the pride from their initial meeting returned to his face.

"Little friend Lu need not worry. With your expertise in Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast, all the major powers will open their doors to you."

"You might even live a more secure life than if you were solely focused on cultivation," he said lightly.

Lu Xuan smiled, but internally, he scoffed.

If this Nascent Soul True Monarch underestimated him, that was fine, but if he ever intended harm, Lu Xuan would need to be well-prepared.

He remembered the many Seventh Grade Treasures he possessed, as well as the images of the Green Horn Thunder Son, Tian Cang True Monarch, and Artifact Spirit.

The three conversed briefly until the Thunderfire True Monarch and several others appeared suddenly at the center of the hall.

"We greet the three seniors!"

Lu Xuan and Qinshan quickly performed a respectful salute, and Elder Bai Shou also rose to greet them with clasped hands.

"Thanks to the three fellow cultivators, this abnormality within the Spirit Beasts of the Heavenly Star Cave has been handled."

"Currently, all the Three Corpses Insects in the bodies of the Spirit Beasts have been separated and completely eliminated."

"However, to ensure safety, observation is still required."

"You flatter us, seniors. The resolution of the abnormality was entirely due to Friend Lu's efforts. I am aware of my limitations and do not dare claim any credit," Qinshan stated, bowing his head, while Elder Bai Shou nodded slightly in agreement, though he said nothing more.

"You both are too modest,"

"The mere fact that you traveled such great distances to come here to the Star Cave has already been a tremendous help," said the Green Wood Star Owner in a gentle voice.

After speaking, two Storage Bags slowly flew towards them.

"Here are some small gifts as compensation for your visit; please accept them," he added.

Qinshan and Elder Bai Shou made a show of declining briefly, then accepted the Storage Bags together.

As for Lu Xuan, who did not receive a Storage Bag, the two understood that the Star Cave intended to thank him separately, so they took their leave.

"Little friend Lu, we truly owe you for resolving this issue with the Spirit Beasts," Thunderfire True Monarch said quietly, while Green Wood and Wutu Star Owners nodded in agreement.

"I was fortunate to discover it, but ultimately, it was the seniors who addressed the Three Corpses Insects."

Lu Xuan downplayed his importance.

"Although that may be true, had little friend Lu not detected the presence of the Three Corpses Insect, no matter how many methods we possessed, we would not have been able to use them."

"If some more time had passed, the only welcome for those Spirit Beasts would perhaps have been extinction."

"In such a case, for Heavenly Star Cave, the loss would have been significant."

The number of high-rank Spirit Beasts invaded by the Three Corpses Insect was not small, mostly of the Fifth Rank or above, among which were several creatures of the Seventh Rank.

These Spirit Beasts had already formed a very strong force, and for many "Cultivators", they were long-standing companions, with deep emotional bonds formed over many battles.

Truly being forced to make a move to utterly annihilate them, they eventually couldn't bring themselves to do it.

The appearance of Lu Xuan perfectly solved the problem of the Spirit Beasts' anomaly without having to resort to the last and most extreme method.

It can be said, detecting the Three Corpses Insect appears simple, but it is actually the most crucial step.

"Little friend, one does not thank others for a great kindness. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can look to us old fellows at Heavenly Star Cave."

Thunderfire True Monarch's majestic face showed a hint of warmth.

"Here is a storage bag, inside it contains about a hundred pounds of the characteristic Spirit Soil from the Wutu Star Cave."

"Genkun Wutu Soil, Sixth Grade Spirit Soil, can be used to refine Earth Element Magic Treasures, cultivate Earth Attribute Divine Abilities, and of course, it's also greatly beneficial for Spirit Plants, perfectly suitable for you, little friend Lu."

"This Wutu True Monarch is usually very stingy. It was very difficult to get even a little from him when asking, and to see him be so generous today is truly a first."

The Green Wood Star Owner covered her mouth and nose, chuckling softly.

"Sixth Grade Spirit Soil, a full hundred pounds!"

Lu Xuan was ecstatic within, barely managing to maintain his composed expression.

He had obtained various kinds of Spirit Soil and Spirit Sand through help from the Commerce Association, exploring Medicine Gardens, and purchasing himself, among which the highest rank was the Fifth Grade Origin Soil, the quantity of which was still far less than this Genkun Wutu Soil.

How could he refuse such a temptation?

He didn't even dare to feign a refusal, and carefully accepted the storage bag.

"Thank you, senior, for bestowing such a precious gift!"

Lu Xuan thanked him earnestly.

"Little friend, it is what you deserve."

The Wutu Star Owner said softly.

"By the way, little friend, I also have another treasure here. Would you like to accept it?"

Just as he was about to bid farewell to the three Star Owners, Thunderfire True Monarch suddenly spoke.

"It's that Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid from earlier."

"It was originally used by this old man for tempering the flesh and cultivating internally, but having been soaked with dozens of Spirit Beasts, I feel uneasy about using it again."

"If you're interested, you can take it with you. Although it has been depleted somewhat by the Three Corpses Insect, I estimate there's still about seventy to eighty percent effectiveness left, and it could still be of use if you have any Thunder-Related Spirit Beasts or Spirit Plants."

"Sixth Grade Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid?"

Lu Xuan was momentarily stunned.

"Willing! I am really much willing!"

He hadn't expected such a surprise, his heart shouting excitedly.

"Isn't it just some bathwater?"

"The Spirit Beast Spirit Plants in my Cave Abode love drinking this stuff!"

Thinking of the two E-Mu Green Thunder Vines, as well as the Thunder Dragon Behemoth and the ghost-like enemy named Thunder, his face immediately lit up with an eager smile.

"To receive such a precious treasure, I am honored beyond measure."

"Good."

Thunderfire True Monarch nodded, tossing a Silver White Jade Vase to Lu Xuan.

"This contains that Thunder Extreme Yang Liquid, it's up to you, little friend, to decide what to do with it."

"Thank you, senior!"

Lu Xuan received the Jade Bottle, once again expressing his gratitude.
