I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

"In addition, this Light Fairy Feather is also the key to entering the Soaring Void Sky."

"However, it is currently just a Spiritual Seed, and the growth cycle of a Seventh Grade Spirit Plant often spans over a hundred years, with maturity far in the future."

Lu Xuan sighed, knowing that the Light Fairy Feather required nourishment from Purity items for cultivation, and he possessed treasures such as the Snow Dragon Holy Spring and Moon Essence Spirit Liquid, making earlier stages of cultivation no problem.

He planted the Light Fairy Feather Spiritual Seed in the Core Spirit Field Area, then prepared a blank space in the Spirit Field, spreading a thick layer of silvery-white sand from the bottom of the Thunder Pond.

Next, he took out the Yi Wood Green Thunder Vine from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and planted it in the Spirit Field.

After transferring it, Lu Xuan carefully inspected the Yi Wood Green Thunder Vine, noting a slight decrease in its vitality, but the impact was minor. With devoted cultivation over some time, it would return to normal.

Afterward, he operated the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array, arranging a strong set of Prohibitions and Restrictions outside the Seventh Grade Yi Wood Green Thunder Vine to prevent its rich vitality from leaking and being detected by "Cultivators" who occasionally entered the Cave Abode.

"From now on, just stay comfortably inside the Cave Abode. These Spirit Beasts are all very friendly; you don't have to worry about any unpleasant interactions."

Lu Xuan summoned all the Spirit Beasts within the Cave Abode and introduced them to the ghost-like enemy named Thunder.

A fervent smile appeared on the face of the ghost-like enemy named Thunder. While Lu Xuan perceived a hint of mockery in that smile, it felt different to the many Spirit Beasts with lower Spiritual Intelligence.

The Spirit Beasts, led by Fat Bird, warmly welcomed the ghost-like enemy named Thunder. Several Tree Mothers whirled around it in a mix of curiosity and fear.

The Cloud Leopard glanced indifferently at the ghost-like enemy named Thunder and emitted a low growl, tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

"Roar~"

The bizarre sound made the ghost-like enemy named Thunder jolt involuntarily.

The Cloud Leopard then vanished in an instant.

The two Two-headed Juvenile creatures only poked their heads out of the soil, keeping the rest of their bodies buried. Their eight green bean-sized eyes swiveled about, giving off the vibe of a great monster dwelling underground.

After releasing the ghost-like enemy named Thunder, Lu Xuan let it roam freely within the Cave Abode.

He made a round of the Spirit Field, checking each Spirit Plant to ensure they grew in optimal conditions.

After finishing all this, he returned to the courtyard with a hint of tiredness.

He lay back in a wooden chair, tallying the gains from his trip to the Ancient Medicine Garden.

The greatest, of course, was the Seventh Grade Light Fairy Feather. Although it had a long cultivation period and required significant time, effort, and resources, once mature, it would bring an immensely rich Light Cluster reward.

Its value was even greater than the same-rank Yi Wood Green Thunder Vine transplanted from the Medicine Garden.

Besides, there were several Five Thunder Co-flowering Spirit Seed, all of Level Five. The Light Cluster rewards offered both quality and quantity, indispensable for the rank of Spirit Plants in the Cave Abode.

The Seventh Grade Yi Wood Green Thunder Vine goes without saying. Once mature, even without a Light Cluster reward, both the Thunder Liquid gathered during its growth and the Spirit Fruit it would bear upon maturation were exceedingly rare and valuable treasures.

Last were the numerous farming resources.

The vast amounts of silvery-white sand dug from the bottom of the Thunder Pond were suitable for the growth of many Thunder Attribute Spirit Plants and the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass.

As well as countless Demon Beast Corpse, ensuring the Spirit Plants in the Abyss Star Cave would not lack ample nourishment for a long time.

"It's good that I brought the Green Horn Thunder Son this time; otherwise, I could have only harvested some Five Thunder Co-flowering Spirit Seeds and would have had difficulty transplanting the Yi Wood Green Thunder Vine, let alone acquiring the precious Light Fairy Feather Spiritual Seed."

Lu Xuan reflected inwardly.

In the coming period, he would remain peaceful within the Cave Abode, cultivating Spiritual Plants, rearing Spirit Beasts, and, in his spare moments, practicing Cultivation Techniques, refining Elixirs and Magic Artifacts to accumulate experience.

The commotion caused by the corpse in the Medicine Garden upon his departure had worried him for a while. Occasionally, during casual gatherings with fellow "Cultivators," he subtly inquired and learned from them that everything in the Thunder Sea Depths remained as usual.

"Perhaps that female corpse has returned to Thunder Island in the deepest part, or maybe only those "Cultivators" who entered the Medicine Garden are affected by her wrath."

Lu Xuan speculated in his heart.

In the Spirit Field, he performed the Spirit Rain Technique with delicate precision, allowing strands of Spirit Rain to generously nourish the Spiritual Plants below.

A few delicate and petite tree mothers danced around the various high-rank spirit plants like butterflies chasing flowers.

Suddenly, a streak of lightning flashed, and the ghost-like enemy named Thunder appeared in front of the tree mothers, his waist's fleshy tumor swelling with bursts of thunder.

The tree mothers were greatly startled, their mouths emitting whimpering complaints as they flew together to Lu Xuan's side, chattering about the ghost-like enemy named Thunder's teasing behavior.

"This ghost-like enemy named Thunder sure knows how to pick targets, choosing the tree mothers whose fighting power is relatively the weakest and who are easily frightened."

"If it were any other spirit beast, they would either remain unfazed even if Mount Tai were collapsing in front of them, or they would simply give it a good thrashing. Unlike the tree mothers, whose emotional value is off the charts."

Lu Xuan Laughed and commented before continuing to inspect the spirit field.

In the spirit field, the various modified spirit plants were growing extremely well.

Pure Yang Golden Lotus, Five-Elements Illusory Fruit, Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd, Thousand Thunder Sword Grass... each one was brimming with vitality, radiating a robust, upward force.

Gazing at the high-rank spirit plants that covered the mountains and plains, a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

"Fellow Lu, are you in the cave abode?"

Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice reached his ears.

Lu Xuan's spiritual sense swept out and found a handsome young man standing quietly outside the formation.

The young man was dressed in a Daoist robe, had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his demeanor was otherworldly.

"Is this... the Daozi Yao Qingyue from the Liyang Dao Sect?"

Lu Xuan recalled information about this young cultivator.

When the Thunder Jetty Cave Secret Realm had just appeared, he had incidentally rescued a juvenile strange beast in the Thunder Sea, which happened to be Xuan Kui, the Guardian Beast of the Liyang Dao Sect.

The young man outside the cave abode later sought him out and took the Xuan Kui strange beast back to the sect. Before leaving, he had promised Lu Xuan that he would bring spiritual seeds as a token of gratitude.

"Fellow Liyang has come bearing seeds."

A smile formed on the corners of Lu Xuan's mouth as he flew out to greet the visitor.

"So it's Fellow Yao, it's been years since we last saw each other, and you've become even more distinguished."

"Lu Mou was just in the midst of cultivating spiritual plants and missed a chance to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."

He hastily opened the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array and welcomed Yao Qingyue into the cave abode.

"It's alright. I just happened to pass by the Sky Star Cave, and before coming here, I remembered that I had promised to bring a spirit seed to Fellow Lu as a reward for rescuing Xuan Kui."

"Unfortunately, rare spirit seeds are not easily found. I specifically made a selection and only then did I find a preferred spirit seed to bring to Fellow Lu."

Yao Qingyue spoke slowly.

"Fellow Yao is so considerate; I am truly undeserving. Later on, we must thoroughly enjoy the spirit brews I've crafted."

Lu Xuan felt delighted upon hearing this.

A spiritual seed chosen after much deliberation by Fellow Liyang was naturally a variety hard to find in the cultivation world, and this stirred quite some anticipation in him.

"Sure, let's have a few good drinks with Fellow Lu."

Yao Qingyue said with a smile.

He sat in the courtyard, looking down at the mist-veiled landscape below, and suddenly said while waiting for Lu Xuan to bring out spirit fruit spirit brew from the house:

"Fellow Lu, it's only been a few years since our last parting, but the vitality in your cave abode is markedly richer."

"With such strong spirit plant mastery, don't you feel it's somewhat beneath your talents to stay here in the Thunderfire Star Cave?"
