I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 615: Chapter 613: I Can Tell at a Glance You’re Not Human

As Lu Xuan discovered and cleaned more and more Thunder Death Crystals, he gradually became immersed in the task, so much so that he forgot himself in the work.

At this moment, he felt that this scene before him was somewhat similar to a video he had seen in his previous life of cleaning barnacles off a whale’s body.

In both cases, there was a huge difference in size and strength between the two parties, with the weaker side benefiting more from the cleaning.

This gave him a strange yet absurd sense of achievement.

After almost four hours, the ground was piled up with several hundred pounds of Thunder Death Crystals that had been scraped off.

Lu Xuan carefully searched twice more and, after confirming there weren’t any abnormalities left on the body of the Green Horn Thunder Son, he descended slowly from the air with a satisfied yet somewhat weary expression.

“Thank you, young friend, for cleaning these impurities from my body,”

said the Green Horn Thunder Son in a voice as deep and resonant as muffled thunder.

These Thunder Death Crystals growing on its body were usually regarded as part of the body due to their special nature. Moreover, as they were extremely troublesome to clean, they were normally allowed to grow freely.

It hadn’t expected that after encountering this Foundation Establishment junior cultivator today, this issue could be resolved so effortlessly.

“Senior, there is no need for politeness. To be able to serve Senior is an honor for this junior,”

Lu Xuan quickly bowed his head as he spoke.

“All these Thunder Death Crystals on the ground, you take them,”

commanded the Green Horn Thunder Son in a deep voice.

“They should be useful for assisting in the cultivation of techniques or as material for crafting magic artifacts.”

“To accept so many rare treasures… I couldn’t possibly…”

Lu Xuan said, somewhat embarrassed.

“Consider it your reward for helping me get rid of them,”

“For me, they are just dead skin, of no use whatsoever.”

“Then I will not stand on ceremony,”

Lu Xuan pretended to hesitate for a moment, expressed his deep gratitude to the Green Horn Thunder Son, and put all the Thunder Death Crystals into his storage bag, not missing even the smallest piece.

“I mustn’t leave even a speck of trash for Senior or for the Thunder Behemoths,”

he thought to himself. He walked around the Thunder Pond, only stopping after he had picked up all the Thunder Death Crystals.

By his estimation, these Thunder Death Crystals could not only assist in the cultivation of Thunder Law Divine Abilities and the crafting of magic artifacts but might also serve as Special Spiritual Soil to accelerate the growth of Thunder Attribute Spirit Plants.

After collecting the Thunder Death Crystals, Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to take out the Strange Longevity Peach from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

After feeding the Jade Wash Spirit Dew to the Green Horn Thunder Son, he realized it didn’t have much life left and was in its dying moments— which was why these special Thunder Death Crystal substances had formed on its body.

To rashly reveal the Strange Longevity Peach might arouse the Green Horn Thunder Son’s suspicion.

After all, it was understandable for Lu Xuan to notice the Thunder Death Crystals on its body; anyone with exceptional pupil skills might perceive them.

But if it were to learn of its dwindling lifespan, that would be harder to explain, and good intentions could lead to bad outcomes.

Furthermore, having only met once, Lu Xuan could not be sure that the Green Horn Thunder Son wouldn’t turn hostile upon seeing the lifespan-extending Strange Longevity Peach.

Out of caution, he decided to keep the Strange Longevity Peach for the time being, to wait for a suitable moment when his own power had increased, then reconsider whether to offer it to the aging Green Horn Thunder Son.

Having spent half a day in the territory of the Thunder Behemoth, and judging that the thunderstorm had subsided, Lu Xuan approached the Green Horn Thunder Son and respectfully performed a salute.

“Senior, I must take my leave to return to my cave abode,”

“Many thanks to you and your tribe for the brief refuge, which allowed me to survive the thunderstorm unharmed.”

“Go ahead, come and play again if you have the chance,”

“You’re not like most of your kind, whose minds are only filled with killing and seizing treasures and seem to think that there are only two outcomes to interaction with the Monster Tribe—either kill the monster or be killed by it,”

the Green Horn Thunder Son said, somewhat emotionally.

In its long life, it had seen many human cultivators like Lu Xuan; some fled immediately upon seeing it, while others were brash enough to attempt to kill it and take its body. Lu Xuan’s case was the first of its kind.

Therefore, it held quite a favorable impression of Lu Xuan.

“Senior flatters me; with my strength, how could I dare to harbor such thoughts against Senior,”

Lu Xuan said with a light chuckle.

“Hahaha!”

The Green Horn Thunder Son couldn’t help but laugh loudly when he heard that, his laughter thunderous.

“If you want to come again next time, you can find that little friend who brought you in.”

“Then help me clear out that rubbish Thunder Death Crystal again.”

“Junior obeys!”

Lu Xuan quickly made his stance known, naturally seizing the opportunity to cling to the thigh of a Seventh Grade Monster Beast.

He bid the Green Horn Thunder Son farewell and let the Strange Species Thunder Behemoth that had been fed several times take him out.

“Alright, this is far enough, let’s part ways here.”

“Next time I come over, I’ll bring you even more delicious Spirit Fruit Spirit Paste.”

Once he was somewhat closer to the periphery of the Thunder Sea, Lu Xuan spoke to the Strange Species Thunder Behemoth that was guiding him out.

The Thunder Behemoth let out a low growl, watching Lu Xuan leaving with a hint of affection in its voice.

Lu Xuan walked amid the fine thunder light filling the sky, carefully inspecting his surroundings with his Spiritual Sense.

After the thunderstorm had wreaked havoc, the Thunder Sea was a mess as far as the eye could see, with only the thunder light remaining constant.

Wading through the thunder light for a while, his Spiritual Sense suddenly detected a familiar presence.

Before he could confirm it, he saw a simple-looking young Cultivator hurriedly approaching him.

It was Zhang Zhizong, the neighbor who had invited him to explore the Secret Land at the entrance to the Thunder Sea.

Only, he was now alone; the traces of the three Cultivators who were previously with him were nowhere to be seen.

“Friend Lu! It’s really such a coincidence to encounter you here!”

Zhang Zhizong’s face was full of surprise.

“Greetings, Friend Zhang.”

Lu Xuan took a few discreet steps back.

“Why are you alone, where are the other three friends?”

“On our way back from exploring the Secret Land, we encountered that terrifying thunderstorm and were scattered by countless bolts of lightning. When it calmed down, I found myself alone and couldn’t locate the other three friends immediately.”

“However, given the Cultivation Levels of the three friends, they should be able to protect themselves.”

The honest-looking young man said with a smile.

“I’m glad to hear they are safe.”

Lu Xuan nodded slowly.

“Friend Lu, our Cave Abodes are not far from each other. Why don’t we travel together back home? It would be good to look out for each other on the way.”

Zhang Zhizong suggested.

“Okay, as you say, Friend Zhang.”

Lu Xuan nodded lightly, and the two of them, one in front of the other, started making their way to the entrance of the Thunder Sea, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Walking behind Lu Xuan, the young man’s nape gradually emitted a wisp of faint black smoke, containing many blurred, dark faces.

His sword’s Spiritual light grew increasingly bright, and just as it was about to stab into Lu Xuan’s back,

suddenly, a silver-white light appeared in his eyes. A spike covered in numerous profound and obscure runes stabbed into his mind with the speed of lightning.

His Divine Soul suffered agonizing pain as if it were about to be forcibly split in two.

Before he could react, a broad golden sword blade carrying the phantom of a peacock swept across his neck, sending his head soaring into the sky.

The many blurred faces instantly scattered in the air.

“Bold Demon Envoy, I knew from a glance you were not human!”

Lu Xuan turned around and roared angrily.

Right after, a crystal-clear Jade Tablet shot out, its surface surging with copious amounts of pure white Spiritual Power.

The Spiritual Power possessed a sacred force, and as the blurred dark faces flying in the air touched it, they melted away swiftly like snow under the blazing sun.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Soon, there was nothing left but a head rolling aimlessly on the ground and a headless corpse still poised in the posture of an attack.
