I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 483 - 481: Mutated Fire Spirit Grass_1
Chapter 483: Chapter 481: Mutated Fire Spirit Grass_1
“I’m growing quite wealthy now.”
After comprehending a few fourth-grade sword techniques and formations, Lu Xuan came back to his senses, and couldn’t help but sigh.
Counting the gains from the underworld spiritual plant light cluster, he currently possesses many types of fifth-grade magical artifacts and treasures.
The Void Nightmare Eye, the “Pure Yang True Fire Talisman”, the Divine Essence Scroll, the “God Derivation Sutra”, the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, the Saint Baby Pill, the Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array, the Soul Piercing Needle, the Mirage Sound Pearl, the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe, and the recently acquired Clear Sword Heart.
A total of eleven types. Even the Nascent Soul stage masters within a great sect like the Sky Sword Sect might not be richer than Lu Xuan.
“It’s a pity that there aren’t many that can be used to fight and kill enemies, only the “Pure Yang True Fire Talisman”, the Soul Piercing Needle, and the Mirage Sound Pearl. The illusion technique of the Void Nightmare Eye also has a good effect.”
Lu Xuan sighed, having fostered a number of fourth-grade spiritual plants at the early and even Qi practicing stage, the light cluster reward obtained a lot of boosts, getting many fifth-grade magical artifacts, treasures, cultivation techniques, etc. across the ranks. Now having broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, there probably won’t be such good benefits anymore.
“However, fortunately, there are still a lot of fifth and sixth-grade spiritual plants, the rewards from the light clusters could only get better.”
Lu Xuan consoled himself quietly, infinitely grateful for his previous desperate attempts to collect all kinds of high-grade spiritual plants.
He returned to his small courtyard, fed the several spirit beasts in his cave dwelling, and then went into the room to practice cultivation.
After a few days, he became curious about the recent situation in the Black Demon Abyss Secret Realm, so he went to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall where most of the Sect’s disciples were located.
Here, various missions from the sect or individuals are available. From these missions, one can get a glimpse of the invisible changes in the cultivation world.
At the same time, there are numerous Sect members in the Hall who could provide a lot of information about the Sect and the cultivation world.
Lu Xuan concealed his cultivation level and quietly stood in a corner of the hall.
Looking up, various tasks flashed across one side of the hall’s wall. Lu Xuan keenly noticed many tasks inviting fellow sect members to exterminate and hunt demon beasts and evil spirits. In addition, the demand for healing and spirit reviving elixirs, as well as magical talismans, was noticeably higher than usual.
“It seems that the cultivation world is not so peaceful.”
Lu Xuan sighed to himself.
He channeled a trace of spiritual power into his ears, silently listening to the discussions of his fellow disciples.
“Have you heard? A major event happened recently. A calamity-level evil creature massacred a city that belongs to our sect, and was eventually dealt with by a few true disciples of our sect.”
“They are indeed formidable as half-step Nascent Souls, actually able to exterminate calamity-level evil beings.”
“Sigh, the cultivation world has been unstable lately. When I returned to the sect not long ago, I heard that an entire market of loose cultivators, numbering in the thousands, was sacrificed alive. We don’t know where the evil creature causing this calamity came from.”
“Not only that, I have a friend, his elder is a Master Uncle of the Sword Hall, who had a mid-term Foundation Establishment cultivation base, but he fell unexpectedly during a siege on an evil spirit.”
“Hiss … A mid-term Foundation Establishment Sword Hall Master Uncle also died?!”
“That should be true.”
“Why worry? If the sky falls, there will be taller people holding it up. The cultivation world has already become a stagnant pool. Only with tremendous upheavals will we have the opportunity to seize a sliver of divine chance, thereby leaping over the dragon’s gate and soaring into the sky.”
“Makes sense, many people of mediocre aptitude have seized such opportunities and changed their destinies.”
The crowd was discussing fervently.
Lu Xuan remained calm and composed, gaining a certain understanding of the current external situation.
“Change destiny? If it’s easy, it’s not called changing destiny.”
He silently sighed, unconcerned with the thinking of most of his fellow disciples.
Perhaps a Qi Cultivation Disciple could seize great opportunities from the turbulent cultivation world, but that would also be stepping on the bones of countless unfortunate people.
Under the immense waves, Qi cultivation disciples can’t even make a slight ripple.
“Fortunately, I have the light clusters, no need to risk my life, fighting with countless cultivators for that tiny, elusive opportunity.”
He sighed with complex feelings, and returned to his cave dwelling.
“Just survive. I must survive.”
“I’m just an ordinary Spirit Plant Master. Killing demons and monsters has little to do with me.”
“As long as I stay within the Sect, unless there’s a threat of the Sect’s destruction, there’s no need for me to take risks.”
Unfortunately, things don’t always happen as one wishes. Despite Lu Xuan’s desire to stay within the Sect in peace, trouble still came knocking at his door.
Half a month later, a fiery-red communication talisman flew to the outside of his residence.
Upon Lu Xuan activating it with his spiritual power, Fire Scale Child’s familiar voice emanated from within.
“Junior Brother Lu, are you in your residence? Uncle Qingxu seeks you.”
Lu Xuan frowned slightly. Unable to refuse, he was forced to visit True Man Qingxu’s dwelling.
True Man Qingxu, with his mid-term Golden Core cultivation base, was the owner of the Pure Luli Tea plant. In order to comprehend a powerful cultivation technique, he had entrusted Lu Xuan to cultivate the spiritual tea plant.
He arrived at a large dwelling shrouded in the mist of immortal aura.
Upon entering the dwelling, he was guided by an Inner Sect Disciple to where True Man Qingxu resided.
“Disciple Lu Xuan, meeting Uncle Qingxu.”
Lu Xuan respectfully greeted an elder with a clear complexion and long beard.
“Disciple Lu, there’s no need for formalities.”
The elder spoke with a mild smile.
Lu Xuan looked up and glanced at Fire Scale Child, who was standing next to the elder, dressed in a fiery red robe.
“Disciple Lu, how is my Pure Luli Tea coming along?”
The elder’s large sleeves waved like waves, as if a gentle breeze was emerging from within him.
“Uncle, I have placed the spiritual tea in an incomplete secret realm for cultivation, and it is currently thriving.”
“That’s good, thank you, Lu.”
“I called you over this time because there’s a matter I need you for.”
“Recently, the sect has discovered a mutated spiritual plant in a family affiliated with our sect.”
“A few old fellows and I took a look, but we couldn’t make heads or tails of it. Hearing of your extraordinary achievements in the sphere of spiritual plants, we decided to call you over to take a look.”
“This family holds a not insignificant position within our sect, producing a substantial amount of cultivation resources required by the sect. This matter is of great importance, so I ask that you give it your full attention.”
True Man Qingxu spoke in a solemn tone.
“I will certainly do my best.”
Lu Xuan promised.
The elder, seeing his promise, nodded towards Fire Scale Child, who had been silently standing next to him.
Fire Scale Child promptly took out a spiritual mushroom from his storage bag.
The spiritual mushroom was a reddish color, like waves of fire flowing within its leaves and branches.
Lu Xuan’s sharp eyes noticed thin black and red lines on the surface of the spiritual mushroom, moving through the body of the mushroom like little fish. As the lines moved, thin strands of fire gathered towards them, melding into the lines.
“This is a Fire Spirit Mushroom, a third-grade spiritual plant. It contains pure fire spiritual energy, and is a main ingredient for many third-grade and fourth-grade elixirs. It can also assist in the cultivation of fire system techniques and divine skills. It is widely used.”
“However, recently, cultivators from that family discovered these mysterious black and red lines appearing within the body of the Fire Spirit Mushrooms. The origin of these lines is unknown, and they slowly absorb the life force within the mushrooms.”
“Despite their best efforts, they were unable to remove these thin lines. Left with no choice, they could only send it to the sect at the fastest speed and ask for the sect’s help.”
