I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 520: Chapter 518: The Most Popular Person among Pill Masters_1

Lu Xuan looked at the Bone Slaying Sword Grass in the spirit soil, intending to store it in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, when a thought occurred to him.

His spiritual sense slowly seeped into the spiritual seed.

Instantly, he felt as if he had entered a world of slaughter, where the sword intent surged to the heavens and murderous intent was infinite.

The Clear Sword Heart in Lu Xuan’s dantian spun slightly, and under his spiritual sense, the murder sword intent underwent subtle changes.

Originally profound and abstruse, difficult to grasp, it now left traces in the depths of his sea of consciousness that resembled antelope horns, making it easy to comprehend.

When his heart and mind gradually began to tire, Lu Xuan withdrew from the world of murderous sword intent, and standing quietly in place, he seemed to have gleaned some insights.

“With this Clear Sword Heart, my talent in the sword dao has already reached the top tier. When I formally cultivate the Bone Slaying Sword Grass, after studying it for a prolonged period, I will surely find the best method to cultivate the sword grass.”

Lu Xuan stored the spirit seed of the Bone Slaying Sword Grass from the spirit soil satisfactorily and thought quietly to himself.

However, staying in that world of murderous sword intent for a long time seemed to slightly affect his mind.

Looking at the Rock-shell Turtle rolling in the mud in the nearby lake, a nameless fire surged in his heart, and he had an inexplicable urge to fly over and give it a beating.

“Spirit beasts are so wonderful, I shouldn’t be so impulsive.”

“No choice, it’s mine, it’s mine.”

Lu Xuan summoned a thought, reciting a calming spell, and it instantly made him feel a lot more peaceful.

“This small influence should be kept in mind, otherwise, I’ll unknowingly change from a kind Spirit Plant Master to a bloodthirsty Sword Cultivator.”

He reminded himself inwardly.

Seeing that it was still early, he patrolled each area of the Spirit Field to satisfy the minor requirements of each spirit plant.

In the Spirit Field, the largest plant, Water Glow Grass, had reached a rapid growth stage.

The azure slender leaves were flecked with glow spots. When the breeze swept, it looked like shimmering waves, fleeting light.

On the four Arrow Vines, the spirit power arrows formed had several hints of fourth-grade spirit plants. The arrows prepared to shoot, using the vine as a bow, were ready to go.

Lu Xuan had already mastered the ‘Instant Arrow Technique’ very proficiently. Spiritual power surged, and Arrow-shapes flew out, merging with the small arrows on the vine.

The small arrows seemed like a young man encountering his beloved, rising up immediately, completely unable to suppress them.

The Jade Dew Fruit had grown half the height of a man. There were still some drops of pure spirit dew remaining on the leaves. The spirit dew was crystal clear, making people want to directly suck it from the leaves and swallow it.

Besides that, the Earthfire Heart Lotus, Xuan Chong Vine and other spirit plants in the Spirit Field were also thriving, everything was heading in a good direction.

In the following period, Lu Xuan stayed in his cave mansion without going out. Every day, he enjoyed his time with the Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts.

“All the Primordial Essence Herb has finally fully matured.”

Lu Xuan came to the edge of the Spirit Field, looking at the remaining sixteen ordinary-looking Primordial Essence Herbs. His face held the joy of a farmer at harvest.

Before, in order to recklessly open the light clusters, he did not pluck the spirit plants as soon as they matured. Instead, he planned to wait until more were accumulated to have a big harvest.

Sixteen Primordial Essence Herbs, all of average quality that wasn’t too shabby, some of them were of ‘Good Quality’, and even one was of ‘Superior Quality’. Lu Xuan was extremely satisfied.

After putting them all into the jade box, sixteen white light clusters quietly appeared on the surface of the spirit soil, subtly twinkling around the spirit field, exerting an inexplicable attraction.

Lu Xuan gave a slight smile, his figure flashed past, and the sixteen white light clusters burst almost simultaneously, transforming into light rivers that surged into Lu Xuan’s body.

Over a dozen thoughts flashed by in his mind like watching a lantern show on horseback.

[Harvesting third-grade Primordial Essence Herb…]

[Harvesting…]

Of the sixteen rewards, some appeared directly in Lu Xuan’s hand while some were transmitted into his mind in the form of a large amount of information.

Among them, the rewards were seven three-grade Spirit Absorbing Grass beads, six three-grade Foundation Building Pills, and three Formula for Foundation Establishment Pill Experience Packs.

After digesting and absorbing the information in his mind, Lu Xuan’s understanding of refining Foundation Establishment Pills had reached a new level. Many of the former mysteries were suddenly elucidated, and he had a much deeper understanding of various details.

“With regards to refining Foundation Establishment Pills, I’ve reached the Minor Proficiency Boundary.”

“Even among the core alchemists of Dan Hall, I would be considered very impressive.”

Many of the alchemists in Dan Hall had been refining pills for many years. The experience they acquired might be less than what Lu Xuan obtained from a single experience package.

The resources for refining three-grade pills are limited and must be prioritized to those alchemists who are experienced and have profound cultivation levels. Thus, many fellow disciples in Dan Hall find it difficult to refine even once a month.

Lu Xuan thought about it, and decided to go to Dan Hall to hand in the new batch of Primordial Essence Herbs that had been entrusted to him.

He sent out a communication talisman and summoned Fat Bird over. He had it carry him and soon arrived outside of Dan Hall.

“Brother Lu, you’re here.”

As soon as he landed in the giant square in front of Dan Hall, an observant alchemist spotted him and enthusiastically crowded over.

“Brother Lu!”

“Junior Brother Lu, long time no see.”

Greetings reached Lu Xuan’s ears one after another. Due to his prolonged smile, his cheek muscles had stiffened quite a bit, and he responded to everyone one by one.

“Junior Brother Lu, you seem quite popular among the alchemists of Dan Hall.”

In the end, it was Guan Wan who pulled him out of the awkward situation.

The gentle woman looked at Lu Xuan’s somewhat embarrassed expression and teased softly.

“I am overwhelmed by the extra affection from my fellow disciples.” Lu Xuan wiped off a nonexistent bead of sweat from his forehead.

“It’s only natural for them to welcome you.”

“After all, you’re currently the most popular Spirit Plant Master of the sect. Any type of spirit plant, once in your hands, will definitely be nurtured, and the quality of the plants far exceeds the average level.”

“As an alchemist, who wouldn’t want to make friends with an outstanding Spirit Plant Master? That means higher quality alchemy materials, which has a significant impact on the final successful alchemy.”

Guan Wan explained to Lu Xuan.

“Moreover, Junior Brother Lu, you’re already a core alchemist of Dan Hall. Just based on your alchemy level, you’ve exceeded many of the other disciples in the sect.”

“Sister Guan, I cannot accept any more praise.”

With a smile, Lu Xuan took a beautiful jade box out of his storage bag. He opened the box to reveal the unassuming Primordial Essence Herbs inside.

“All have matured again, you’re really impressive, Junior Brother Lu.”

Guan Wan’s beautiful eyes shone, a hint of joy present in her voice.

Both alchemy and tool refining have certain success rates, and so does the cultivation of spirit plants.

But Lu Xuan seemed to defy logic, having a success rate of one hundred percent in cultivating spirit plants, and there were even high-quality ones among them.

“Of the thirty Primordial Essence Herbs, only eighteen are of ordinary quality, nine are of ‘good quality’, and surprisingly, three are of superior quality.”

“The average quality of these Primordial Essence Herbs is noticeably higher than the last batch. It seems that Junior Brother Lu’s level of spirit plant cultivation has improved again.”

Guan Wan praised.
