You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 975: Cloud Leopard Breakthrough, Chongming Spirit Eyes

“Many thanks, Senior. Wen Qian will definitely bear it in mind.”

Wen Qian suppressed the joy in his heart and took the Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman.

The Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman had once been auctioned by Lu Xuan;he was naturally aware of the talisman’s formidable power.

With a rank reaching the fifth grade, upon activation, it could unleash the Thunder Escape Divine Ability, escaping thousands of miles in an instant, for a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term like himself, it was a supreme treasure for escaping with one’s life.

“I won’t be staying long at Heavenly Star Cave this time. I’ll deal with some trivial matters and nurture the Spirit Plants in the Cave Abode before returning to the Dongxuan Sword Sect,”

Lu Xuan said softly.

...

“By the way, I might open a shop similar to a small store within the Sword Sect to sell some treasure items. If I really do, would you be willing to go with me to the Dongxuan Realm?”

He suddenly asked Wen Qian.

“To the Dongxuan Realm?”

Wen Qian subconsciously paused, then excitement bloomed on his face.

“The junior is willing to follow Senior anywhere.”

He immediately expressed his loyalty to Lu Xuan.

Going to the legendary Dongxuan Sword Sect meant that his future cultivation journey might be filled with all sorts of opportunities, and he naturally did not want to miss out.

“Good, it’s just a plan for now. If I do open it, I will take you there,”

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

“What about this place in Star Plucking Building then?”

Wen Qian pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice.

“It will remain open. After all, it has been managed for so many years, and I will be back from time to time. It would be a shame to close it.”

“Qing Hai will take care of it from now on,”

Lu Xuan said offhandedly.

Wen Qian did not stay long in the Cave Abode;after chatting with Lu Xuan for a while and reporting the major and minor happenings in the shop during this period, he took his leave and left.

Lu Xuan, with two saplings of the Jade Parasol Tree, found an empty spot in the Spirit Field.

After planting the two saplings, a thought crossed his mind, and clouds churned above the saplings with strands of Spirit Rain falling gently, seeping into the stems and leaves of the saplings.

His thoughts were focused on the saplings, and he instantly understood the relevant information.

[Jade Parasol Tree, a Five-Quality Spirit Plant, requires the absorption of Jade Essence during growth, can be planted in Jade Spirit Soil, the matured Spirit Wood has extremely strong sealing and insulating effects, can be used to create vessels for storing rare Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Objects, and also serves as a main material for crafting sealing and prohibition-related Formations.]

“It needs to absorb Jade Essence, that part is simple,”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, several crimson ores appeared in the air above his palm.

The ores were the size of a baby’s head, and inside, one could faintly sense a substance similar to jade marrow slowly flowing.

The ore was called Scarlet Firmament Jade, a Fourth Grade Spirit Mine, previously unearthed within the Light Cluster of the Jade Scale Fruit, containing rich Jade Essence.

Lu Xuan had not sold all of it, keeping a few pieces in his collection, and it just so happened he could make use of them now.

With a gentle squeeze of his hand, the Scarlet Firmament Jade instantly turned into countless crimson powders, sprinkled evenly over the surface of the Spirit Soil around the Jade Parasol Tree, then merged with it.

“This Jade Parasol Tree is likely an age-related Spirit Plant;the longer it grows within its growth limit, the stronger the sealing effect,”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

After Wen Qian left, since Cultivators occasionally visited or invited Lu Xuan over as a guest, he wasn’t in a hurry to go to the Abyss Star Cave and decided to wait a bit longer before checking it out.

One day, while Lu Xuan was nurturing Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field, he suddenly sensed an abnormality in the Spiritual Energy behind the Cave Abode.

His Spiritual Sense swept over and discovered the Cloud Leopard emerging from the forest at some point, with its emerald green eyes wide open, emitting a series of low growls.

“Is it about to break through?”

Lu Xuan’s heart was filled with joy.

The Cloud Leopard was surrounded by a surge of Spiritual Power several dozens of feet in all directions, rapidly converging towards it.

In no time, a massive Spiritual Energy Whirlpool had formed.

The Cloud Leopard was at the center of the whirlpool, frantically absorbing vast amounts of Spiritual Energy.

“Ao!”

It let out a dull, low roar, a sound that seemed to carry endless suffering.

Suddenly, the flesh on its forehead split open, revealing a dark crack that emerged quietly.

At the same time, high above the whirlpool of Spiritual Energy, the phantom of a huge eye about a yard in length appeared silently, its pupil filled with a detached indifference as it quietly watched the Cloud Leopard below.

The dark crack at the center of the Cloud Leopard’s forehead struggled to open, and a great suction force flowed out from within, with the giant eye in the sky slowly descending.

Afterwards, the pupil continued to shrink, narrowing to the thickness of a finger, and burrowed into the crack on the Cloud Leopard’s forehead.

“Ao~”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

The Cloud Leopard let out a rough roar as the whirlpool of surrounding Spiritual Energy rapidly decreased, quickly disappearing into its body.

After a moment, the dark crack on its forehead suddenly opened wide, and a deep vertical pupil instantly appeared, a profound abyss that seemed capable of sucking in Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense and soul.

“It’s become a Fifth-grade Spirit Beast.”

Lu Xuan, who had been acting as the protector by its side, finally relaxed and flew next to the Cloud Leopard.

The Cloud Leopard’s three emerald pupils firmly fixed on Lu Xuan, letting out a low growl towards him.

“Ao~”

It was the familiar scent, roughness mixed with a hint of endearment.

“Good, good, you deserve praise.”

Lu Xuan grabbed the Cloud Leopard, which was attempting to leave, and began to rub the tufts of grey-white hair on top of its head vigorously.

Originally in the Qi Practicing Stage, he had bought this Strange Species of Cloud Leopard from a Loose Cultivator’s stall. Although seemingly proud and aloof on the surface, it relied heavily on Lu Xuan and had accompanied him longer than any other Spirit Beast.

Of course, Lu Xuan had treated it well in return.

Various ranks of precious Spirit Fruits, the Evil Eye Pupils matured from the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, Fourth and even Fifth Grade Spirit Brew, and the Thousand Forms Grass he had fed it multiple times over the years…

All sorts of treasure items had piled up, transforming this Spirit Beast of special bloodline into a Fifth-grade Spirit Beast.

“Due to the limitations of its bloodline shackles, reaching Fifth Rank is already the limit.”

“After breaking through to the Fifth Rank, its Pupil Skill’s abilities have greatly enhanced, and its speed has significantly increased. It moves as fast as lightning, silently and swiftly—truly a scalpel among Spirit Beasts.”

Lu Xuan roughly sensed the state of the Cloud Leopard and silently made comparisons.

“However, the many Spirit Beasts in my Cave Abode all share my temperament, having few opportunities to venture out for trials.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but smile.

He hardly went out to explore Secret Lands or engage in fights with “Cultivators” and Demon Beasts, so it went without saying for the Spirit Beasts in his Cave Abode.

Aside from the Spirit of Flesh and the Little Thousand-Handed Demon in the Abyss Star Cave, the main draw was companionship, and incidentally, the harvesting of Light Cluster rewards as they matured.

Thinking this, Lu Xuan moved to the spot where the Cloud Leopard had just made its breakthrough.

At the very center, there was a White Light Group faintly flickering, drawing him to touch it.

Lu Xuan approached the Light Group and lightly touched its surface.

Instantly, the Light Group silently shattered into countless tiny specks of light that soared into the sky.

Then, they quickly condensed into a slender river of light, flowing into Lu Xuan’s body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

[The Spirit Beast Cloud Leopard has broken through to the Fifth Rank, obtaining a Six-product treasure, Chongming Spirit Eyes.]

The thought vanished, and a strange pupil appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The pupil looked extremely three-dimensional, and as it slightly rotated, it felt as if its gaze could land on Lu Xuan at any moment.
