You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 971: Returning Home in Glory

“I’m finally back in the Liyang Region.”

High in the sky, where the fierce winds blew, Lu Xuan allowed them to brush against him as he overlooked the vast territory below.

“First, I should visit the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce.”

As a Guest Elder of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, it had been more than two years since he had fulfilled his duties, which was untenable both emotionally and logically.

Lu Xuan’s eyes flickered with a dim spiritual light as he confirmed his location. His figure turned into a streak of light and rapidly soared toward the Star Plucking Building.

In a moment, his figure silently emerged at the grand entrance of the building.

...

“Friend Lu, you’ve returned from the Dongxuan Realm?”

Just as he was about to step onto the first floor of the Commerce Association, an old voice reached Lu Xuan’s ears, laden with clear surprise.

Before the voice had faded, Wood Daoren, with his tall stature, appeared before Lu Xuan.

“Taoist friend Mu, long time no see.”

Lu Xuan greeted him with a smile and a nod.

“Hahaha, it’s been more than two years, and Friend Lu looks even more distinguished. Truly befitting a disciple of the Dongxuan Sword Sect.”

Wood Daoren, his eyes a deep red, sized up Lu Xuan with a hearty laugh.

He welcomed Lu Xuan into the building, and during their ascent, every “Cultivator” of the Commerce Association in the building respectfully greeted him.

“Friend Lu, how has it been for you these years at the Dongxuan Sword Sect?”

Wood Daoren poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Xuan and asked with curiosity.

“Not bad, not as free as when I was at the Heavenly Star Cave, but being taken under the wing of True Sword Master Huan Zhen and assigned to his Sword Peak, both the Nascent Soul uncles and other disciples have taken good care of me.”

Lu Xuan casually replied.

“To be favored by the True Sword Master of the Dongxuan Sword Sect… This old man is jealous too!”

Wood Daoren exhaled deeply, his tone undisguisably envious.

Before Lu Xuan had entered the Dongxuan Sword Sect, although he was already a Guest Elder of the Commerce Association, being related to a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the chamber meant the difference in status was not so apparent.

But now, as a direct disciple of a Sword Master within the Dongxuan Sword Sect, the difference was enormous.

“Friend Lu, your path to greatness is assured.”

He couldn’t help but reflect.

“Let’s not talk about those ethereal matters.”

“I just arrived in the Liyang Region and haven’t even entered my own cave abode. I came here first to check if there are any issues with the Spiritual Plants that need resolving.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“Friend Lu, you really are…”

“Too diligent!”

Wood Daoren shook his head as he spoke.

“The higher-ups of the Commerce Association had expressed a long time ago that they had no particular demands regarding your work in Spiritual Plant matters. Just stop by whenever you’re free, there’s no need to rush.”

“It’s been more than two years since you’ve been back;you should return to your cave abode first.”

Wood Daoren suggested considerately.

“Alright, I’ll come back in a few days.”

Lu Xuan was not overly polite. Indeed, he was more interested in collecting the numerous Light Clusters that had accumulated in his cave abode during his absence.

After chatting with Wood Daoren and Master Wen for a while, he took his leave and went to the Grocery Store.

“Senior Lu! You’ve returned!”

Only Hong Qinghai was in the Grocery Store;Wen Qian’s whereabouts were unknown.

“That’s right, just came to check on things.”

“How’s the business in the store? And where has Wen Qian gone to?”

Lu Xuan asked with a smile.

“Business is still booming, but…”

Hong Qinghai looked up at Lu Xuan.

“Speak your mind.”

“It’s just that since Senior Lu, you have been away at the Dongxuan Sword Sect for so long, the stock of treasure items in the store has gotten somewhat low.”

Hong Qinghai chose his words carefully and spoke softly.

“Alright, I’ve brought some treasures with me this time.”

With a single sweep of his hand, Lu Xuan displayed various treasures such as Sword Talismans, Spirit Brews, Foundation Establishment Pills, Dust Removal Pills, Sword Gourds, and more before Hong Qinghai.

He had spent over two years at the Huanzhen Sword Peak, and apart from Cultivating Spiritual Plants and understanding the Technique Divine Abilities of his practice, he spent the remaining time on Talisman Making, Alchemy, and brewing Spirit Brews.

These three cultivation skills had already reached the Transformation Stage, with success rates of at least seventy to eighty percent. The only problem that troubled him was the issue of materials, which took very little time and effort.

Seeing so many treasures, Hong Qinghai’s eyes immediately lit up.

Before Lu Xuan left, he had left behind many treasures, but due to the overwhelming number of Golden Core Foundation Establishment Cultivators visiting the store, the treasures soon became in short supply and could only be released little by little.

“Brother Wen has gone out to collect Spiritual Seeds and learn the Condense Seed Technique.”

Hong Qinghai handed over the Spirit Stones collected by the store during this time to Lu Xuan.

A large amount of Middle Grade Spiritual Stones piled up, looking like a small hill.

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense swept over them, and the multitude of Middle Grade Spiritual Stones immediately flew into his Storage bag.

“I’ll make a trip back to the Cave Abode first, and when Wen Qian returns, have him come to see me.”

He instructed Hong Qinghai.

Thunderfire Star Cave.

Tiny threads of thunder light danced around Lu Xuan’s body as he walked through them, moving at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast, and soon arrived outside his Cave Abode.

“Who is the Taoist friend passing by?”

Suddenly, a deep voice entered Lu Xuan’s ears.

Before the sound faded, four Cultivators appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The leader was a middle-aged man at the “Early Core Formation stage”, wearing heavy armor. Lu Xuan remembered that this was the exclusive attire of the Sky Star Cave Guard of the Condensing Pill Realm.

The three people behind him were all at the Foundation Establishment Late-term Realm, positioned in a triangle, their Qi connecting with each other, likely having cultivated some kind of Cooperative Attack Technique.

“Friend Lu? So it’s you who has returned.”

“I was just patrolling nearby when I sensed a Cultivator’s presence outside your Cave Abode and came to check.”

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

“It turns out to be Friend Zhang, thank you for your hard work. Here, I have two bottles of Spirit Brew to quench the thirst of you and your companions.”

Lu Xuan remembered this particular Sky Star Cave Guard and handed over two bottles of Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice to the middle-aged Cultivator.

The middle-aged Cultivator feigned refusal a few times before accepting the Spirit Brew and left with the three others.

“I didn’t expect that Fellow Qi Wuheng truly honored his promise. He had included my Cave Abode in the critical patrol area after I had left.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Although the Cave Abode was protected externally by the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array and internally by guardians such as Grass Puppets and the ghost-like enemy named Thunder, the actions of the Sky Star Cave were satisfactory as they reduced unwarranted scrutiny and probing, pleasing him greatly.

He approached his Cave Abode with an air of composure, lightly pressing his hands forward. Instantly, multiple phantom images of icy mountains appeared outside the entire Cave Abode.

With a thought and his understanding of the Formation, he stepped into the phantom images of ice mountains.

Just as he entered the Cave Abode and hadn’t fully savored the rich vitality of those Spiritual Plants, a Fat Bird swiftly flew up to Lu Xuan, chirping crisply and continuously, its sounds filled with endless longing and joy.

Following the Fat Bird, the Thunder Dragon Behemoth, Green Mountain Scale, Fire Separation Flood Dragon, and other Spirit Beasts gathered in front of Lu Xuan.

More than a dozen Little Tree Maidens cooed and danced around him.

“Alright, alright, I’m back now.”

Lu Xuan quickly soothed the Spirit Beasts.

“Friend Lu, have I heard correctly that you have returned from the Dongxuan Sword Sect?”

Just then, a gentle voice came from outside the Cave Abode.

With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, Lu Xuan saw the Thunderfire Star Cave Envoy, Qi Wuheng, standing at the entrance of the Cave Abode with a smile.

“Fellow Qi, I’ve only just returned not long ago. I was planning to find time to visit you when you came over.”

“During this time, I am grateful for the diligent work of the Sky Star guards, who have been protecting my Cave Abode.”

Lu Xuan flashed to the front of the Cave Abode’s entrance.

“Friend Lu, why didn’t you let us know before returning?”

Another old voice echoed, and Guo Bingqiu’s figure emerged from the thunder light.

Following him were Ye Xuanyin, Lei Zheng, and other familiar Cultivators.
