I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

"Thousand Mechanisms House truly lives up to its reputation as a Sixth Grade Structure Strange Treasure created by Qianji Door, providing a full sense of security while inside."

In the spacious house, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, operating his mental method, and quickly recovered his spiritual power.

Thousand Mechanisms House maintained its operation, with various formations and prohibitions already activated; in the void, a special environment fraught with innumerable dangers, it gave Lu Xuan great peace of mind.

He even had the leisure to appreciate the bizarre sights outside.

After half an hour, his spiritual power within his body had returned to its peak state, and he came out from the Thousand Mechanisms House, controlling the mechanism treasure to revert to its original state, and he stowed it away inside the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

"Last time, Senior Instrument Spirit took me to the Incomplete Cave Heaven, and the journey was smooth sailing, far more relaxed than when I travel alone."

"No wonder the senior warned me not to rashly claim that Incomplete Cave Heaven until reaching the Golden Core Late Stage."

"Otherwise, one might have the fortune to own it but not the luck to enjoy its benefits."

Lu Xuan mused to himself in the void, his spiritual power surging within, a silver-white thunderbolt shot out from his palm, striking a Fifth Grade Star Beast.

The thunder raged; from the massive body of the star beast came a thick scent of char, as it stiffly fell down.

"Perfect to supplement those weird spiritual plants with some fertilizer."

Lu Xuan extracted a demon core bursting with spiritual light from the body of the star beast, and sorted its carcass before storing it in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

Along the way, he encountered several such ill-fated void monster beasts; all of them at the level of fifth-grade and sixth-grade, all were easily slain by Lu Xuan, reduced to fertilizer.

"Thousand Treasures True River... after settling those high-rank spiritual plants, if I have a chance, I should come to take a look and see if I can fish up one or two treasure items."

As he drew closer to the Incomplete Cave Heaven, Lu Xuan looked at a massive river that spanned the sky in the distance, contemplating silently.

Back when he was with the Sky Sword Sect, he had been sent to guard an island belonging to the sect within the endless seas.

There, he also met a sect monk with whom he frequently went fishing along the outer edges of the sea, and that Green Horned Dragon Carp in his cave abode was fished up from the sea.

Hence, he had more than a little interest in this Thousand Treasures True River.

Three days later, Lu Xuan finally arrived at the Incomplete Cave Heaven.

Piercing through the dense fog, he landed on an island.

"The spiritual energy here in the Incomplete Cave Heaven is even sweeter."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xuan swept the area with his spiritual sense; in an instant, he had found suitable planting spots for those high-rank spiritual plants.

He created plots of spirit fields, took out a large amount of Genkun Wutu Soil, and sprinkled it evenly over the surface of the fields.

The spirit soil of the Incomplete Cave Heaven was of good quality, but compared to the painstakingly collected Genkun Wutu Soil from Wutu Star Cave, its effectiveness was still several notches inferior.

Then, he took out the high-rank spiritual plants one by one from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, planted them properly, and according to the growth needs of the spiritual plants, employed cultivation techniques, providing treasures like He Light Dust, Strange Pupils, Wind Aperture Stone, Snow Dragon Holy Spring, and others.

After planting all the high-rank spiritual plants, Lu Xuan took out the five Star Battle Flags.

The golden flags flapped noisily in the air, with points of starlight flickering in and out of sight.

Having already refined these Star Battle Flags, he probed with his spiritual sense; the flag's starlight shone, turning into five streams of spiritual light, flying off to different locations in the Incomplete Cave Heaven.

The faint starlight penetrated the mist, illuminating the Incomplete Cave Heaven below.

"Although the Star Battle Flag is a Six-product treasure, and there are only five flags lacking the most core Zodiac Star Battle Sword, setting up an incomplete Star Battle Great Array is still no problem," remarked Lu Xuan as he sensed the five Star Battle Flags shrouded in the fog.

Lacking the Middle Rank Magical Treasure Zodiac Star Battle Sword as the array's core, the formation set by the five Star Battle Flags had none of the might to annihilate a Primordial Infant True Monarch, but compared to the Sixth Grade Ten Thousand Obstacles Xuan Crystal Array in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, its defensive capabilities were still much stronger.

"I can finally cultivate spiritual plants in peace."

With a faint smile on his face, Lu Xuan began his career as a Spirit Plant Master in the Incomplete Cave Heaven.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and all the Spirit Plants in the Cave Heaven entered the right track, completely unaffected by the long-distance transplantation.

Lu Xuan came out from inside and flew toward Thousand Treasures True River.

"You see, this river is both vast and wide."

Upon approaching, he truly felt the terror of this great river.

It was countless miles in both length and width, rushing endlessly, with stormy undercurrents and layers of spiritual mist. His Spiritual Sense instinctively sensed various terrifying presences within the river, not daring to approach the water's edge.

"Isn't it said that many cultivators come to the Thousand Treasures True River to fish for treasures?"

Following the river downstream, after a short while, Lu Xuan finally spotted a middle-aged cultivator at a bend.

The cultivator was disheveled, his eyes red, staring intently at the bank of the river.

In his hands was a pitch-black fishing rod, made of some kind of Spirit Ore, gleaming with a metallic luster.

More importantly, the rod was incredibly long, reaching thirty or forty zhang, with a silver-white fishing line emitting a faint spiritual light, reaching into the depths of Thousand Treasures True River.

His entire focus was on the float, and only when Lu Xuan approached did he turn his head and give him a wary glance.

"This fellow daoist, I am Lu Xuan, and it's my first time at Thousand Treasures True River. If I have caused any disturbance, please forgive me," Lu Xuan said.

His Spiritual Sense swiftly scanned the other party, detecting that he also had a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivation Level.

The middle-aged cultivator turned a deaf ear, still focusing all his attention on the fishing rod in his hands.

Lu Xuan, with his rich fishing experience, understood the behavior of the fishing enthusiast perfectly, feeling no displeasure, but instead, he patiently stood aside and quietly watched the other party fish.

After half an hour, the middle-aged cultivator forcefully lifted his fishing rod, his eyes unable to hide the disappointment as he saw the enormous pitch-black fishhook flying out of the river.

"You must be Friend Lu. I am Shi Zichen, and I have seen your kind," the middle-aged cultivator said in a hoarse voice.

"Has Stone Daoist had any catch?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.

"Nothing. Although there are many treasures in the Thousand Treasures True River, the difficulty of fishing them up is extremely high, and it's normal to catch nothing," said the middle-aged man, seemingly accustomed to returning empty-handed, with a neutral expression.

"I've long heard of Thousand Treasures True River, Lu Mou is visiting for the first time, wishing to try fishing for the treasures from the legends. Could Stone Daoist provide some guidance?" Lu Xuan asked humbly, showing a great eagerness to learn.

"Fine, Shi Mou needs to rest anyhow, so I might as well chat with you, Friend Lu," Shi Zichen said, seeing Lu Xuan's good attitude, as Spiritual Power surged and the pitch-black fishing rod was swiftly retracted, the fishing line neatly wrapping around the top of the rod as if it had its own will.

"There are all kinds of Strange Treasures in Thousand Treasures True River, and because the river's water is special, one cannot enter to search for them, but instead must use various methods to fish the treasures out," he explained.

"There are some things worth paying attention to."

Once he started talking about his interest, Shi Zichen couldn't stop, speaking incessantly.

"Fishing up rare treasures in Thousand Treasures True River involves many nuances."

"Fishing location, timing, fishing equipment, bait, as well as the cultivator's Flesh Body and Divine Soul, and so on."

"Stone Daoist, here is a bottle of Spirit Brew, brewed personally by Lu Mou. Please enlighten me with more details," Lu Xuan said.

In Lu Xuan's hand appeared a bottle of Jade Wash Spirit Dew, which he presented before the middle-aged cultivator.

With an open palm, he gestured for the other to continue speaking.
