I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 384: Chapter 382: Increase the Effort_i

After obtaining two large and one small Mutated Arrow Vines from Fang Qing, Lu Xuan continued to observe other Mutant Spiritual Plants and picked out a ’ few that were clearly of higher value than the Mutated Dragon-patterned Wood.

“All right then, let’s exchange these. These are the Mutant Spiritual Plants friends Fang needs.”

Lu Xuan took out more than a dozen Mutated Dragon-patterned Woods and handed them to Fang Qing.

“I wish friends from the Lingxiao Sect can soon fully comprehend and explore these Mutated Spiritual Plants.”

He said with a blessed smile, exchanging seven Mutated Firewoods, three Mutated Arrow Vines, and several other Mutated Spiritual Plants.

The effeminate young man accepted the Mutated Dragon-patterned Wood, barely able to contain his joy.

“When it comes to Sword Dao, our Lingxiao Sect is far less advanced than your Sky Sword Sect, but regarding Spirit Plant cultivation, well, you’re lagging behind considerably.”

He apologized to Lu Xuan in his heart.

“Friend Lu, if the cultivators of your sect bring back such mutant spiritual plants in the future, you can bring them all here and exchange them with our Lingxiao Sect.”

Fang Qing eyed Lu Xuan, the big fat sheep, and decided to seize him and fleece him for all he was worth.

“Certainly, I will definitely come to find you, Friend Fang.” Lu Xuan looked at Fang Qing earnestly and said with sincerity. The two simultaneously showed a warm smile and reluctantly bid each other farewell.

Upon returning to the Sky Sword Sect’s camp, Lu Xuan immediately took out all the Mutated Spiritual Plants and planted them in the Spirit Soil. Then, he used a prohibition array to restrain them to prevent any unwarranted attacks. Once everything was settled, he took out the Mutated Arrow Vine Seedling. “I hadn’t expected this wonderful surprise during the exchange of the Mutated Spiritual Plants.”

A hint of delight appeared on his face.

He had tested and found that mature Spirit Plants or those nearing maturity were not useful to him. Even if he nurtured them for a period, he couldn’t gain the Light Cluster reward.

only by sowing the Spiritual Seeds or Spiritual Plant seedlings and nurturing them to maturity, could he obtain the White Light Cluster.

“Although this Mutated Arrow Vine was exchanged using Sect’s resources since I have discovered and figured out the origin and usage of so many ’ Mutated Spiritual Plants within the Sect and Blessed Lands, it should not be a problem to apply for this Arrow Vine Seedling later.”

Lu Xuan was thinking, his spiritual power surged, the structure of the dark red spiritual soil beneath his feet subtly changed, and the Mutated Arrow Vine Seedling was absorbed into it.

[Mutated Arrow Vine, Fourth Grade Spirit Plant…]

[During the growth stage, the Spirit Plant Master needs to assist in guiding the condensation of arrow-shaped spiritual power, and the formation of arrow-shaped Spirit Fruits. When mature, they can be used as natural bow and arrow magic artifacts, with the vine as the bow and the fruit as the arrow.] (Grows in special Spiritual Soil and the spiritual energy environment, long term will lead to unknown changes in the Spiritual Plant.]

“Special Spiritual Soil and spiritual energy environment should be the main factors causing the Spiritual Plants to mutate in the Blessed Lands.” “But, anyway, since it has already mutated, planting it again won’t change much, so let’s just plant it for now.”

Having Spirit Plants in hand, Lu Xuan couldn’t resist the idea of planting and cultivating, and didn’t care about the surrounding environment.

“Where in the world is not suitable for planting?”

“A mere flesh-and-blood Blessed Land cannot hinder me.”

His spiritual power flowed within his body, probing into the Arrow Vine Seedling. His spiritual power wandered inside the plant, and the countless small arrows hanging on the plant reacted slightly, and their tips pointed to where Lu Xuan’s spiritual power was flowing.

After planting the Arrow Vine Seedling, Lu Xuan continued studying and experimenting with the remaining Mutated Spiritual Plants in the camp, while Feng Yu and the others diligently assisted him.

In the following seven or eight days, he spent most of his time experimenting on the Mutated Spiritual Plants, occasionally going to the Lingxiao Sect or the Ten Thousand Beast Gate to exchange Spirit Plants with the resident Spirit Plant Masters.

Relying on his thorough knowledge of Mutated Spiritual Plants, every one of his exchanges brought him considerable benefits, making a significant fortune in silence.

One day, as he was studying the Mutated Spiritual Plants, a ball of fire suddenly appeared on the horizon and swept over in a moment’s time.

A teenager dressed in a fiery red robe leaped down from the fire cloud and landed in the Sky Sword Sect’s camp.

The child’s face was youthful and tender, but his eyes were extremely mature, exuding an aura of age beyond his years.

Lu Xuan and his companions hurriedly greeted him.

“Elder Brother Huo.”

The child standing before them was Fire Scale Child, with whom Lu Xuan had crossed paths before. He was born with a Fire Spirit Body and was one of the seventeen Authentic Teachings of the sect. Lu Xuan had previously acquired high-grade Illusion Sound Bamboo and Blood Scourge Flower from him during a small exchange fair.

“Junior Brother Lu, I did not expect you to be the one presiding over the study of Mutant Spiritual Plants.”

Fire Scale Child had some impression of Lu Xuan from their previous encounter and nodded towards him.

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of Mutant Spiritual Plants appeared in the courtyard.

“The progress of opening up the new blessed lands has been pretty decent recently, and I’ve managed to collect these Mutant Spiritual Plants. This is a delivery from Master Gu.”

“Thank you, Elder Brother Huo.”

Lu Xuan’s eyes scanned over the many Mutant Spiritual Plants on the ground, spotting several varieties in just one glance.

In his heart, he was astounded at the scale of the sect’s efforts to open up new blessed lands.

As far as he knew, including Fire Scale Child and Sword Wu Xia, there were two Golden Core Real People among the known Authentic Teachings, not to mention those at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term to Late-term level.

After a while, Fire Scale Child, who had taken a short break, approached Lu Xuan.

“Junior Brother Lu, I heard in the camp that you have recently been exchanging

Mutant Spiritual Plants with other sects? Is that true?”

Fire Scale Child’s youthful face bore a serious expression.

“Indeed, that is the case.”

Lu Xuan readily admitted it. This was not a secret in the camp, and he had already prepared for his fellow sect members on the front lines to find out.

“Could you explain to me why Junior Brother Lu, so I can relay this to Master Gu?”

Fire Scale Child asked calmly, yet respectfully. Even though Lu Xuan’s

Cultivation Level was only at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term, the fact that he managed to helm the rear of the sect during the opening of new blessed lands already demonstrated his high status.

“Please observe, Elder Brother Huo.”

Without another word, Lu Xuan walked towards a restrained Mutated Flowing

Fire Wood. Upon release, he channeled his Spiritual Power into it.

The surface of the Mutant Spiritual Plant was ablaze with flames that violently flickered. Thin fiery serpents danced on its leaves, slowly converging towards a certain part of the plant.

“Hm?”

As a natural-born Fire Spirit Body, Fire Scale Child quickly detected the anomaly on the Mutated Flowing Fire Wood.

Dressed in his big red robe, he produced a pure white flame from his hand that enveloped his palm. He gently inserted his hand into the trunk of the Flowing Fire Wood.    ⁶

Pulling his hand back, he held a fiery and crystal-like Fire Essence between his fingers.

“This Mutant Spiritual Plant is actually concealing this treasure, the Fire Essence. Even I didn’t sense it.”

Fire Scale Child looked at the Fire Essence in his hand with great interest. “These fire essences are completely fused with the Spiritual Plant. They are extremely hard to detect as they need to be condensed separately.” “Elder brother is fully focused on dealing with the demon beasts and demon envoys in the blessed lands, unlike me, who has devoted himself to researching and experimenting with these Mutant Spiritual Plants. Only then was I lucky enough to discover the existence of this Fire Essence.”

Lu Xuan explained.

“Oh, and Elder Brother Huo, this Mutant Spiritual Plant was one I had exchanged for.”

“Really?”

Fire Scale Child chuckled lightly, no longer as serious as before.

“In that case, Junior Brother Lu, please intensify your efforts and try to exchange for more..”
