You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 1033: There is a Field in Heart Sword Lake
“The ninth place, Purple Cloud Sword Peak.”
The Sword Servant uttered the words expressionlessly and then vanished immediately.
The face of the Purple Cloud Sword Master was hidden behind a curtain of swirling purple mist, betraying no emotion.
“Huan Zhen is indeed fortunate to have found such an impressive Spirit Plant Master.”
Qingwei Sword Master nodded in approval.
The eight people present were all aware of Huanzhen Sword Peak’s capabilities in the cultivation of various arts and were somewhat surprised by the peak’s rise of two places in the rankings.
“In my opinion, the main reason Huanzhen Sword Peak was able to achieve this ranking is due to the improved Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd, especially the latter, which I suspect contributed to a substantial amount of points.”
Chongxu Sword Master said in a relaxed and comfortable tone, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan.
“It’s rare to come across the improvement of high-grade Sword Grass, you might not be so fortunate next time.”
Purple Cloud Sword Master spoke slowly and then transformed into a beam of purple light that shot throughout the entire Cave Heaven.
“In a rush.”
Huan Zhen Sword Master spread his hands and chuckled.
He felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Though his cultivation career spanned hundreds of years, and his willpower had been tempered to be as firm as rock, the competition of Sword Peaks within the Sword Sect was a major event, something he couldn’t help but care about.
Since he had taken charge of Huanzhen Sword Peak, it had been languishing at the bottom repeatedly, which was tough for him to accept, as someone who had always been exceptional and strove to be first since starting his cultivation journey.
The path of cultivation is all about striving for excellence;this time, by advancing two places in the ranking competition, it signified not only a chance to redress past humiliations but also represented the peak’s acquisition of a significant amount of cultivation resources.
Thinking of this, Huan Zhen Sword Master couldn’t help but feel light-hearted, and even the pair of silver-white Flood Dragons behind him seemed to perk up.
Huanzhen Sword Peak.
After Lu Xuan had completed his contest, he returned to his Cave Abode to concentrate on Cultivating Spiritual Plants.
Behind the abode, dust flew as Spiritual Power surged. The White Ape, transformed into a sixty-foot creature with bloodshot eyes, gave a ground-shaking sensation every time its fists struck the ground.
Around it, a bolt of silver-white lightning moved at high speeds, occasionally striking the White Ape with thunderbolts as thick as human arms.
“This old White Ape, I don’t know how many times it has fought with the Thunder Dragon Behemoth.”
Lu Xuan shook his head and did not pay attention to the White Ape that was sparring with many Spirit Beasts in turn.
“Disciple Lu.”
Suddenly, a gentle voice from Jian Huanzhen came from outside the Cave Abode.
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense swept over and detected, in addition to True Sword Master, several Nascent Soul Cultivators like Jin Zaigan and Ye Lingkong.
“Lu Xuan pays respect to the Sword Master, several Uncle Masters.”
With a flash of his figure, Lu Xuan appeared outside the Cave Abode and welcomed the visitors inside.
“The Sword Grass in the Disciple’s Spirit Field is growing well.”
Jian Huanzhen glanced at the depths of the abode, seemingly seeing through the Formation Prohibitions and Restrictions that veiled the Spirit Field.
“I’ve been diligently cultivating them daily, hoping they all mature successfully.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Today, we bring good news that I thought to share with Disciple nephew.”
Jian Huanzhen and the others took their seats and then spoke.
“The ranking competition of the Sword Peaks has concluded, and I learned of the results not long ago.”
“Huanzhen Sword Peak has climbed two places compared to before.”
“Really? That’s reason to celebrate!”
Lu Xuan replied, genuinely delighted.
As the ranking of Huanzhen Sword Peak increased, so would the resources acquired, and as an Inner Sect Disciple of the peak, he naturally would receive a larger portion.
“In this Sword Peak competition, Disciple nephew, you played a pivotal role.”
“The Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd you brought are the most outstanding achievements of the peak in nearly thirty years.”
“In addition, the Spirit Plants, Spirit Brews, and Talisman Making all received extremely valuable A-rank ratings, significantly raising the average score.”
Jin Zaigan slowly said, his expression full of affirmation for Lu Xuan.
“Uncle Master Jin flatters me too much.”
“It is the Sword Master’s effective leadership, the concerted efforts of all the uncles and fellow disciples participating in the competition, that led to today’s breakthroughs,” Lu Xuan said modestly.
“Hahaha, Disciple Lu, there’s no need for such modesty,” Jian Huanzhen laughed heartily.
“The credit is yours, and no one can take that away.”
“With the rise in the ranking, the entire Sword Peak benefits a lot.”
“As the main contributor, you must be properly rewarded.”
“Tell me, what do you want? Cultivation techniques, magic treasures, elixirs, and so on, I can satisfy all of it,” Jian Huanzhen said very generously.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking:
“Indeed, there is a minor issue for which I need to trouble the uncles.”
“I’ve been attempting to breed a new variety of Sword Grass recently. Although the spiritual energy of Sword Peak is pure and rich, it’s not yet sufficient to stimulate mutations in Spirit Plants and Spiritual Seeds.”
“Therefore, I would like to find a place within the Sect where the Sword Qi is dense, to facilitate the inducement of changes in the Spiritual Seeds,” he said earnestly.
“Improving a new Sword Grass? At what rank? How confident are you?” Jian Huanzhen became curious at once, with Jin Zaigan and others showing great interest as well.
“The tentative plan is to improve the Tier 5 Sword Grass, but for now, it’s just a thought.”
“As for the confidence level, I can’t yet speak on that. After all, the difficulty of improving Fifth-Rank Sword Grass is immense and may take many years without any change.”
Lu Xuan weighed his words carefully. With the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath accompanied by the Thunder Law Divine Ability and that one special power, improving the Tier 5 Sword Grass Spirit Seed was just a matter of time. But he dared not speak too definitively in front of True Sword Master Huan Zhen.
“T-5 Sword Grass… there’s no need to rush. Take your time. If thirty years aren’t enough, then sixty, or ninety,” Jian Huanzhen encouraged with a smile.
“From now on, whatever Disciple Lu wishes for, Sword Peak will do its utmost to satisfy.”
“As for the Sword Qi-rich land you mentioned, I just happen to have one, which I will gladly give to you, Disciple Lu.”
“That Cave Abode is in Heart Sword Lake, where the Sword Qi is robust. It’s one of the several places I’ve used for seclusion and cultivation. It’s not too far from the center of Heart Sword Lake. You can go right there and use it.”
“The Cave Abode isn’t big, but it’s more than enough to cultivate a patch of Spirit Field,” Jian Huanzhen looked at Lu Xuan with eyes full of admiration.

He originally thought Lu Xuan might ask him for a rare Divine Ability Secret Technique or a Middle-Rank Magical Treasure, or even High-grade Elixir. He never expected that Lu Xuan merely wanted a Sword Qi-rich land.
The purpose was only to breed a new type of Fifth-Rank Sword Grass.
What a lofty mindset!
Once a new type of Tier 5 Sword Grass was improved, the rating of Huanzhen Sword Peak in the next competition, or the one after, could be significantly increased.
“There is hope for the top six. With a bit more effort, even breaking into the top three is not impossible,” Jian Huanzhen couldn’t help but fantasize for a moment.
“By the way, Disciple Lu, it’s been some years since you broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage, hasn’t it?”
“You go ahead and experiment with improving methods. I will find some High Rank elixirs that can enhance spiritual power, to see if they can help you, Disciple Lu, break through to Nascent Soul. Then, with a lifespan stretching for hundreds more years, you will have plenty of time to cultivate your beloved Spirit Plants.”
“That little Cave Abode at Heart Sword Lake is given to you, Disciple Lu, for improving the Sword Grass. I will find a Tier 7 Sword Grass Spirit Seed as your reward for this competition,” Jian Huanzhen said solemnly.
“Thank you, Uncle Master!”
Having the Sword Qi-rich land issue resolved, Lu Xuan was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude with a bow.
