You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 124

"Senior Brother speaks with reason," Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a while before Xu Shaoze bid farewell to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan saw him off at the door, watching Xu Shaoze disappear into the distance.

He truly admired this neighbor of his. To enter the Sky Sword Sect, such a grand sect, as a wandering cultivator and engage with evils for half a year showcased his remarkable character.

However, admiration aside, Lu Xuan knew their paths diverged. He didn't wish to tread the same path as Xu Shaoze.

It was a journey fraught with obstacles and thorns, one misstep could lead to stumbling or injury.

And the path he intended to take...

"Hmm... spacious and adorned with flowers."

Lu Xuan compared it briefly and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Several days flew by.

During this time, Lu Xuan lived a simple yet fulfilling life.

He tended to the Flood Dragons and Giant Pythons near Thousand Dragon Lake twice a day, spending the rest of his time cultivating spirit plants and nurturing spirit beasts in his cave dwelling.

He infused a bit of spiritual energy into the Wind Falcon's egg to hasten its hatching.

With the remaining time, he practiced various techniques like the Five Elemental Technique, Cloud-Soaring Technique, and Lustrous Bone Forging Technique.

In his spiritual field, the Sword-Nurturing gourd's spirit seed had sprouted, delicate green shoots winding around the old flying sword.

After absorbing the flying sword for some time, the already worn-out sword quietly fragmented, its sword intent completely dissipated.

"It looks like I need to obtain a first or second-grade flying sword. It's a shame the white light ball brought by the Firefly Grass can't produce flying sword artifacts; otherwise, it would be sufficient for nurturing the Sword-Nurturing gourd."

Lu Xuan sighed. He inspected the spiritual field, noting that many Firefly Grass had entered the fully mature stage these few days.

He harvested thirty-two plants, leaving fifty for condensing spirit seeds.

When he bought the spirit seeds at the Agricultural Hall, he noticed they didn't sell Firefly Grass spirit seeds, perhaps due to their low grade, not meeting the qualifications for listing.

Thankfully, he had already obtained the method of refining spirit seeds from the Hundred Herbs Hall, so he wasn't concerned about not having Firefly Grass seeds in the future.

Out of the thirty-two Firefly Grass plants, ten were of good quality, eighteen were top-notch, and four were perfect.

Thirty-two white light balls appeared, each representing different rewards.

The cultivation rewards were around five years, significantly boosting Lu Xuan's spiritual energy.

The rest consisted mostly of first-grade elixirs, talismans, and three scrolls of technique experiences.

The four perfect Firefly Grass plants brought forth four white light balls, offering three drops of Grass Spirit Essence and an experience scroll for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In addition, out of the three Pure Snow Lotuses, the remaining six tender green leaves had also reached full maturity.

Three were of good quality while the other three were top-notch.

As he plucked the tea leaves, the six white light balls flickered, seemingly tempting Lu Xuan to quickly activate them.

Lu Xuan gently touched them, and the light balls transformed into countless specks of light that surged into his body. Subsequently, a thought flashed in his mind.

"Obtained one Pure Snow Lotus leaf and acquired a third-grade elixir, the Dust-Reducing Pill."

A fragrant and round pill lay silently in his palm.

"Obtained one Pure Snow Lotus leaf and acquired two third-grade talismans, the Cleansing Talisman."

Two white jade-like talismans appeared in Lu Xuan's hand, emitting a holy and pure aura.

"There are still three light balls left from the top-notch Pure Snow Lotus leaves."

Lu Xuan stared intently at the last three light balls, rubbing his hands together gently.

A thought swiftly crossed his mind.

"Obtained one Pure Snow Lotus leaf and acquired a second-grade technique experience, the Cleansing Charm."

A plethora of information regarding techniques flooded into his sea of consciousness.

The principles of the technique, its application, and the speed of execution...

"Not bad, a second-grade technique experience pack. It's equivalent to practicing this technique for a long time."

Lu Xuan thought silently. After fully absorbing all the information, he felt his understanding of the Cleansing Charm deepen and clarify, as if he had already performed it hundreds of times.

"Next one."

Lu Xuan lightly touched the next white light ball.

As it entered him, a thought flashed.

"Obtained one Pure Snow Lotus leaf and acquired the upper part of a third-grade technique, the Lustrous Bone Forging Technique."

Lu Xuan, unwilling to waste any time, immediately absorbed the wealth of knowledge regarding this technique. 

"Finally unlocked the lower part of the Foundation Establishment stage for this technique."

He had thought that after obtaining the upper part, with so many tea leaves, the lower part would naturally follow. However, it took until the very end to acquire the Foundation Establishment stage's lower portion.

Lu Xuan remained still in the same spot for a while before completely assimilating the complex and mysterious Foundation Establishment stage of the Lustrous Bone Forging Technique.

"Ah..."

The Cloud-Stepping Lynx appeared quietly before him, emitting a low growl.

"Is there any movement from that egg inside the house?"

Lu Xuan asked eagerly. He had instructed the lynx to guard the Wind Falcon's egg, and its sudden appearance meant that the Wind Falcon was about to hatch!

He hurried inside.

Upon the green-hued giant egg, numerous tiny cracks had appeared at some unknown time. The subtle airflow around it had intensified.

With faint cracking sounds, the tiny lines evolved into numerous small fissures.

The fissures spread rapidly, growing longer and thicker. After a few breaths, countless fine pieces flew from the giant green egg, breaking it into dozens of large and small fragments.

A wet and shiny azure bird emerged.

The just-born Wind Falcon was quite sizable, nearly two feet long, adorned with sparse light-blue feathers. Its two eyes were barely open, requiring considerable effort to pry them apart.

As soon as it opened its eyes, it caught sight of Lu Xuan. Sensing a familiar aura from Lu Xuan's body, the young Wind Falcon let out a gentle chirp, its voice tender and crisp.

Immediately afterward, seemingly from deep within its bloodline's memory, the fledgling Wind Falcon, staggering, approached the shattered fragments of the green egg and swallowed a small piece.

After ingesting it, the young Wind Falcon appeared visibly stronger, and its pace of consumption hastened. Half a moment later, all the fragments had been consumed.

Compared to its just-born state, the fledgling had undergone a significant change. Its eyes were bright, movements powerful, and beneath the light-blue wings, its belly had inflated. It wobbled as it walked, displaying an adorable and naive demeanor.
