I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 360 - 358: Sword Peacock l

Chapter 360: Chapter 358: Sword Peacock l

After the aloof female cultivator left, Lu Xuan examined the Sword Peacock she had given him.

This particular sword grass is very distinctive, it can contract and expand just like the fan display of a peacock.

When it is expanded, it resembles multiple solid sword qi branching off from each other, and when it is contracted, it forms a cyan flying sword, only that its body is a bit thicker than ordinary sword grass.

At this moment, the condition of this Sword Peacock doesn’t seem very good. Faint black air floats near its body, and, despite using purifying and exorcising formula methods and charms, it couldn’t be expelled.

There are also uneven patches of black spots on its body that cling tightly to the blade grass, moving about uncertainly as if they have a life of their own.

After getting an understanding of the condition of Su Man Man’s Sword Peacock, Lu Xuan was about to go find Shen Ye when a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

“Junior Brother Lu, you are very lucky, I didn’t expect you to know Sister Su, it seems like you two are quite close.”

Shen Ye, who has a gentle temperament, carried a deep black sword case, walked out from around the corner with a hint of a smile on his face.

“Sister Su is the daughter of a Core Formation Elder of our sect. If Junior Brother Lu can form a union with her, then your future is limitless.”

There was a teasing tone in Shen Ye’s words.

“Brother Shen, please stop teasing me.”

“Whether it’s family background or cultivation level, there’s a huge disparity between me and Senior Sister Su. Such things only happen in folk tales.”

“Besides, I am devoting all my thoughts to cultivating spiritual plants and raising spirit beasts. I don’t have the time to consider those things.”

Lu Xuan gave a bitter smile and responded.

Due to the White Light Cluster, he held many secrets. If he were to find a partner and get accidentally discovered, it would be difficult to explain.

Therefore, he didn’t have any inclinations toward romance for the time being.

“Alright, enough teasing. Did you come here to obtain Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, or do you have Sword Grass to hand in?”

Seeing as how Lu Xuan reacted, Shen Ye regained his seriousness and asked.

“The Sword Grass Spirit Seeds that I got from the Sword Hall previously have mostly matured. I came this time to hand them over.”

Upon entering the Sword Hall, you can get varying quality and quantities of Sword Grass Spirit Seeds for free. However, after cultivating them, you need to hand them back to prevent the sword grass from falling into the wrong hands.

If there is a high failure rate during cultivation, the Sword Hall will send someone to investigate and verify, which can also affect future supply of Spirit Seeds.

The sword grass handed in would be evaluated by the Sword Hall based on its quantity, rank, and quality, which then determines the provision for the next batch of Sword Grass Spirit Seeds. If performed exceptionally well, various rare treasures would also be rewarded.

Lu Xuan retrieved the matured sword grass from his storage bag.

Ten ordinary second-grade sword grass, one third-grade Starlight Sword Grass, and two third-grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass.

“Ten second-grade sword grass, seven of ordinary quality, three of good quality.”

Shen Ye counted the sword grass that Lu Xuan had brought.

“One third-grade Starlight Sword Grass, looking at it, Junior Brother Lu is quite knowledgeable in the ‘Starlight Swordsmanship’.”

“It’s all thanks to daily diligent practice.”

Lu Xuan responded with a slight smile.

Indeed, this was true. In order to cultivate this Starlight Sword Grass, he had to cast the Starlight Sword Qi countless times every day. It was only through his hard work that he was able to achieve such results today.

“Two mutated Wind Thunder Sword Grass, it seems Junior Brother really has a stable method to enhance ordinary sword grass.”

Looking at the two deep black sword grass strings containing the Power of Wind and Thunder in his hand, Shen Ye couldn’t help but exclaim.

“I remember when Junior Brother Lu took twenty Ordinary Sword Grass Spirit Seeds from the Sword Hall, now you have ten second-grade sword grass and two mutated third-grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass. That’s already very good.”

He thought the other spirit seeds were completely spoilt in the improvement process.

However, he clearly knew that obtaining a mutated blade grass was not easy, so he continued to praise Lu Xuan excessively.

“Um, Brother Shen, the remaining mystic sword grasses are still alive, I’m just trying to figure out the method of seed condensation,”

Lu Xuan said truthfully.

He had always deeply hidden his cultivation level, but did not mind revealing his talents in Spirit Plants.

Such talents would not cause danger to other people. On the contrary, it could bring huge benefits to the sect. As long as others did not know about the White Light Group and his understanding of the Spirit Plants’ status, there wouldn’t be a problem.

The better the displayed Spirit Plant Talent, the easier it would be for him to obtain various high-grade spiritual plants from within the sect, activate more generous Light Clusters as rewards, and form a positive cycle.

“Come again? Younger brother, what did you say?”

Shen Ye, who always looked indifferent, suddenly widened his pupils.

“Does he mean that not only do the other mystic sword grass seedlings still survive, but they have also succeeded in mutation, and he is now researching the method of condensing seeds for the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass?!” There was a degree of disbelief in his voice.

“I’m still in the exploratory stage, but I have already made some progress.”

Lu Xuan said cautiously.

” If you said that you’ re making progress, then I believe you’ re on stable ground.”

Shen Ye looked at Lu Xuan and said leisurely.

After several interactions with Lu Xuan, he had understood Lu Xuan’s cautious character. He knew that if Lu Xuan did not have great confidence, he wouldn’t leak this information to him.

Lu Xuan stroked his chin and chuckled.

“If Lu Xuan truly does discover the method of condensing seeds for the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, and if the Sword Hall can confirm that it’s effective and the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass seedlings can be mass-produced, then you’ll have made a great contribution!”

“And the hall will reward you generously.”

After calming his breathing, Shen Ye told Lu Xuan.

“I’ll come to see you, Brother Shen, once I’ve gained full insight.”

Lu Xuan pledged to Shen Ye.

When he was still in the Qi Practicing Stage, Shen Ye had the foresight to entrust him with cultivating a mystic sword grass. After realizing Lu Xuan’s talent in this area, he introduced Lu Xuan into the Sword Hall and actively entrusted him with cultivating the extremely rare Sword Thousand Owls spirit seedling.

Naturally, Lu Xuan would return the favor and reciprocate his kindness.

“I appreciate it, younger brother.”

Shen Ye saluted and said seriously.

Currently, there are nearly 20 kinds of third-grade mystic sword grass seed condensation methods in the Sword Hall. If they can really acquire a new kind of third-grade sword grass, Lu Xuan’s status in the Sword Hall would rise sharply, and he, as the recommender, would also benefit from it.

“By the way, Brother Shen, when I was just chatting with Sister Su, I found out about the Sword Peacock, a fourth-grade mystic sword grass. I was wondering if the hall has the corresponding spirit seed for it?”

Lu Xuan asked Shen Ye.

“Yes, we have them!”

Shen Ye quickly replied.

“The Treasure Pavilion has a stored Peacock Sword Grass spirit seed. It was originally saved for emergencies, but if you need it, I will immediately go to the Core Formation Elder and apply for it.”

“Once a new Sword Peacock matures over time, then we will use its condensation seed to replenish the Treasure Pavilion.”

Fourth-grade sword grass spirit seedlings are extremely rare, and only a few Sword Hall disciples are qualified to plant them. They have to apply a long time in advance.

But to meet Lu Xuan’s needs as much as possible, Shen Ye didn’t care about those. He even intended to use the stored spirit seeds in the pavilion.
