You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 128

"Friend, how about purchasing this peculiar spiritual seed for a hundred spirit stones? It's higher in grade than many ordinary second-grade spiritual seeds. The price for an unknown type and grade of spiritual seed is quite fair."

Though Lu Xuan was eager, his tone carried a relaxed indifference.

"A hundred spirit stones are too low! This plant looks incredibly unique, clearly a rare variety. How about a hundred and fifty spirit stones? That way, my friend, you can take it with you straight away."

The one-eyed middle-aged cultivator took a step back.

"Even if it's a rare and extraordinary plant, without knowledge of how to cultivate it, it's useless."

Lu Xuan pinpointed the most crucial issue.

He haggled with the vendor bit by bit, eventually acquiring the third-grade Thorny Bone Spirit Seed for a hundred and twenty spirit stones.

Half a day later, Lu Xuan stood in a small courtyard, surveying his surroundings.

The Sect prohibited its disciples from nurturing exotic spiritual plants or beasts within the sect.

He now had five Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms in slumber and the newly acquired Thorny Bone Spirit Seed, one feeding on resentment and the other needing bone essenceneither were conventional spiritual plants.

But abandoning them was something Lu Xuan couldn't bear. After all, whether it was the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushroom or the Thorny Bone, both were third-grade spiritual plants, promising substantial rewards once matured.

Helplessly, he devised a plan: renting a small courtyard in Sword Gate Town specifically for cultivating Thorny Bones and similar unconventional plants.

Thinking it, he swiftly found such a courtyard.

Located in a remote corner of Sword Gate Town, the courtyard's spiritual field was small, only about half an acre. Luckily, it boasted decently rich and pure spiritual energy, better than Lu Xuan's previous field in Linyang Fang City.

After bargaining, he rented the courtyard for forty spirit stones per month, paying half a year's rent upfront.

Then, he purchased a second-grade protective array to encompass the entire courtyard.

"Indeed, it's near the sect. This small spiritual field demands forty spirit stones per month."

Lu Xuan felt somewhat pained.

With a hundred and twenty spirit stones spent on the third-grade Thorny Bone, a total of two hundred and eighty spirit stones for the rent and deposit, and roughly two hundred spirit stones for the second-grade array, he had about twelve hundred spirit stones left.

"I can only hope this investment brings greater returns."

A third-grade, dark and exotic plant like this heightened Lu Xuan's anticipation for the white light orbs.

He planned to cultivate these eerie and enigmatic plants in this courtyard and periodically fulfill their growth requirements while temporarily leaving the Sect.

Of course, under this cultivation method, he wouldn't focus much on refined cultivation. Getting them to mature would already be a great outcome.

Thinking so, Lu Xuan took out the five Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms he obtained from a secret realm.

The seeds were still dormant, their peculiar patterns on the gray-white surface unchanged, resembling eerie faces.

"It's been a while. Finally, I can plant them."

Lu Xuan used Earth Attraction Technique to bury the five Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms in the spiritual soil.

Then, he retrieved a specially bought second-grade Resentful Soul Bell.

Gently shaking the bell, numerous resentful spirits and grievances seeped out slowly under Lu Xuan's control.

Soon, ten semi-transparent resentful spirits stood dumbly before Lu Xuan.

These resentful spirits had lost their intelligence, only remnants of instinct remaining, controlled and driven by Lu Xuan, the master of the Resentful Soul Bell.

Lu Xuan directed them to gather together. His spiritual power fluctuated, a golden sword aura burst forth, instantly rending the ten spirits into countless shattered fragments of resentment.

The fragments held countless fragmented resentful spirits, silently wailing in agony.

Lu Xuan, noticing this, continued to sever and shatter all the resentment fragments until they couldn't divide further.

Then, he gathered these minute fragments into five piles, evenly smearing them onto the patterns of the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms.

Focusing on the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms, Lu Xuan sensed a slight change in what had previously been as hard as stone.

The strange patterns forming those eerie faces were slowly absorbing the fragments of resentment.

"Crushing resentful spirits indeed can awaken the dormant Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms."

Feeling the gradual recovery of the five Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms, Lu Xuan rejoiced.

Moving to the other side of the courtyard's spiritual field, Lu Xuan utilized Earth Attraction Technique, causing fine cracks to appear in the soil.

He placed the oddly-shaped Thorny Bone into the cracks, then placed a fresh bone, still stained with blood, beside it.

While preparing the protective array, he also bought some fresh bones of first-grade monstrous beasts on the blue-stone plaza to cater to the Thorny Bone's essence absorption needs.

Soon after placing the bone, Lu Xuan sensed a slight change in the third-grade Thorny Bone in the spiritual field, stimulated by the bones.

Chaotic and disorderly elongated white bones grew fine bone spurs, slowly piercing the fresh bones Lu Xuan had placed, absorbing their essence.

Since there was still the task of raising Flood Dragons and Giant Pythons within the sect, Lu Xuan couldn't linger too long in Sword Gate Town.

Seeing the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms awakened, he took out fifty complete resentful spirits from the Resentful Soul Bell and placed various monstrous beast bones around the Thorny Bone.

A glance revealed an eerie scene in the courtyard's spiritual field: wandering resentful spirits, a small mountain of bones in one cornereverything looked eerie and strange.

"Hmm..."

"Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful farming scene? How did it turn into something so eerie?"

Lu Xuan sighed and activated the array.

He was relieved that Sword Gate Town was close to the Sect, where cultivators were less mixed up compared to the market. The safety of the small courtyard could be better ensured.

With such thoughts, Lu Xuan crossed the Sect's Heavenly sky Sword Formation outside and returned to his cave.

As soon as he opened the door, a roughly three-foot-tall pale-green chubby bird jumped onto Lu Xuan's shoulder with a thud.

"Hey, this little guy grew pretty fast!"

Feeling the slightly larger Wind Falcon on his shoulder, Lu Xuan exclaimed.

The Cloud-Stepping Lynx lazily lay on the ground, its emerald pupils gazing lightly at Lu Xuan.

"Come, come, I've brought some treats for you guys."

Lu Xuan quickly took out two portions of monstrous beast meat from his storage pouch and placed them before the Lynx and Falcon.

While they enjoyed the meat, Lu Xuan went to inspect the spiritual field.

He witnessed the Grass Puppet clumsily and slowly patrolling the field. Numerous spiritual plants thrived, exuding an upward force in stark contrast to the sinister energy in the small part of Sword Gate Town.

"This is the correct way to open a spiritual field..."

Lu Xuan sighed and entered the field to examine the growth of the plants.
