I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 608: Chapter 606 Thunderous Sword Grass_1

“Friend Lu, are you confident you could cultivate this so-called Skeleton Demon Lookout Spiritual Plant?”

The tall old man asked doubtfully.

You should know this is a sixth grade spiritual seed of no small origin, and Lu Xuan is just a Foundation Establishment Late-term Cultivator. Even if his mastery in spiritual plants is profound, it cannot make up for the huge gap in between.

“Since I was able to identify this spiritual seed, naturally I have some confidence in cultivating it,”

Lu Xuan said confidently.

“As long as I research and explore thoroughly, the chances of successfully cultivating it to maturity are extremely high.”

He didn’t speak too conclusively.

However, in the old man’s view, this showed the pinnacle of confidence.

“It is not impossible to entrust this spiritual seed to Friend Lu for cultivation, but two conditions must be fulfilled.”

“First, Friend Lu must make a Heart Demon pact, guaranteeing that he will wholeheartedly cultivate the spiritual plant, and I have the right to know the status of the plant at any time during the cultivation process.”

“Furthermore, the sixth grade spiritual seed is exceedingly valuable to me. Friend Lu must offer a fifth rank treasure as collateral.”

“Once the spiritual plant matures, the fifth rank treasure will naturally be returned to its owner and I will additionally reward you, Friend Lu.”

The old man pondered for a moment before speaking.

“No problem,”

Lu Xuan immediately agreed, hesitated for a moment, then took out a black arrowhead from his storage bag.

A black mist coiled around the arrow shaft, continuously changing, as if it had life. The point of the arrow seemed to be stuck in a translucent human face. The face was blurry, its features unclear.

“This object is called a Nail-head Arrow, a fifth rank treasure, containing an extremely powerful curse. It is a treasure passed down in my family.”

“I was captivated by my desire for this sixth-grade seed, leading me to be willing to mortgage this item with you, Friend. It would be beneficial for you to also make a pledge to return it to me when the time comes.”

Lu Xuan said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Both made Heart Demon pacts with each other and each got the others’ treasures.

“The sixth-grade Weird Spiritual Plant, I’ve managed to trick it into my hands.”

Lu Xuan was delighted.

In the Underworld Spirit Field, he already had several types of fifth-grade weird spiritual plants. Six-grade ones were like phoenix feathers or qilin horns, extremely rare.

“I wonder what kind of light cluster reward I will get in the end.”

He expected anxiously.

Upon leaving the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce’s Heavenly Star Cave Branch, Lu Xuan was exuding energy.

The harvest this time was indeed rich. He had exchanged ten Sword Talismans for a large amount of Spirit Stones, an Orb of Earth Movement, and had obtained information about the Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Vein. Most surprisingly of all, he had managed to acquire this sixth-grade Weird Spiritual Seed of the Skeleton Demon Lookout!

“I had acquired quite a few Sword Nurturing Gourds a while ago. Selling a few to the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t net me much Spirit Stones. Selling too many, could arouse suspicion. After all, I’m just a Loose Cultivator. If there are too many treasures flowing from me, it would cause unnecessary trouble.”

Lu Xuan strolled on the wide cobblestone streets, lost in thought.

“There’s still some time before the auction. I’m not short on Spirit Stones, so there’s no hurry to sell off the fifth rank treasures.”

“But one problem must be addressed.”

“I have too many second and third-grade treasures.”

Due to the mass planting of Water Glow Grass, Flaming Fruit, Ice Luo Fruit, etc., the majority of the light cluster rewards were of the second and third-grade. Many of them seemed somewhat irrelevant to Lu Xuan, which resulted in his accumulation of many.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Perhaps I could open a small shop and find a relatively trustworthy cultivator to manage it. In this way, I could sell off some of the common rank treasures and, at the same time, have him collect some Spirit Seeds for me.”

An idea surfaced in Lu Xuan’s mind.

He needed to personally nurture and care for the spiritual plants. If he handed this task to someone else, it would greatly affect the rewards of the light cluster, thus he could not spare the time.

With this idea in mind, he roamed around various shops to understand the detailed prices of various treasures, and to replenish necessary cultivation supplies along the way.

Returning to his dwelling cave, Lu Xuan couldn’t wait to head towards the core spiritual field area.

Amid the howling of the cold wind, he found an open spirit field in mid-air, planted the skeleton ball into the underworld mud flesh spirit loam.

Threads of spirit rain fell down, soaking into the countless intertwined crevices of the bones.

“Fortunately, I hunted a lot previously and bought many demon beasts. A large amount of skeletons were stored, so I won’t have to worry about the early growth of this skeleton demon lookout.”

Lu Xuan smiled faintly, took out a grim white skull from the gluttonous insect pouch, and carefully placed it above the skeleton demon lookout spiritual plant.

Within his spiritual sense, the skeleton ball seemed to sense the supremely delicious scent. Many small transparent skeletons slowly squirmed, as if a large number of insect beasts were squeezed together, swarming towards the demon beast skull.

Faint sounds of rustling came from inside the skull.

A moment later, the original smooth skull showed various mottled marks, and the essence within the bones seemed to have been sucked dry.

All of the long slender bones of the skeleton demon lookout receded one after another, reforming into a skeleton ball.

“Looks like it’s satiated for now.”

Lu Xuan sensed the state of the spirit plant, speaking softly.

“However, this is a weird spirit plant of the sixth grade after all. It’s not possible for it to sprout roots and germinate just by relying on one beast skull. There is still a long way to go.”

He thought to himself with great patience.

After initially nurturing one skeleton demon lookout spirit plant, Lu Xuan took out the bronze long pike and placed it near the Sha Yuan fruit spirit seed.

The Sha Yuan fruit, which had been starved for a long time, sensed the rich evil aura nearby. A powerful suction came from the spirit seed and the grey-red mixed evil spirits like a small stream gushed into the spirit seed.

Having solved the nurturing problem for the Sha Yuan fruit, Lu Xuan was satisfied and returned to the yard.

He entered a small house and took out his nurtured Xuan sword scabbard.

The scabbard sensed the Peacock King sword on his waist and the split on the top expanded slightly, as if it yearned for the massive golden sword body to enter it.

“The thickest and strongest Peacock King sword is your favorite, isn’t it?”

Lu Xuan looked at the nurtured Xuan sword scabbard, which wasn’t satisfied despite having a harem of many flying swords, and shook it lightly.

Suddenly, a sword grass spirit seed fell out from it.

“Huh, there’s a change?”

He made a sound of astonishment, immediately noticing the changes on the Two Class Sword Grass Spirit Seed.

The slender, sword-like, and withered spirit seed had faint silver lightning patterns on its surface. The lightning patterns extended like the horns of a gazelle, traceless, as if random strokes of lightning were imprinted on the spirit seed.

He had placed the sword grass spirit seed in this mysterious Yangxuan scabbard, and nourished it with the spirit thunder he found from the thunder sea and the wind and thunder sword Qi from the “Wind Thunder Sword Scripture”. After a period of nurturing, it finally evolved successfully.

He planted the sword grass spirit seed with the silver lightning pattern into the spirit loam, and his mind focussed on it..

Suddenly, a thought emerged from his mind.

[Unknown Sword Grass, Grade Three Spiritual Plant, placed the sword grass spirit seed in a mysterious scabbard, stimulated, and improved with spirit thunder and lightning sword Qi. It needs to be stimulated with thunderbolt sword light during cultivation. The mature sword grass is an innate sword instrument containing the power of thunder and lightning.]

“Lightning Sword Grass, let’s call you Thunderous Sword Grass.”

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and named the new quality of the sword grass.
