I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 1286: Chapter 1283 Nine Netherworld Yin Lotus

“Thank you, Friend Lu, your grace will be remembered by Fangcun Palace.”

Xu Wenjing was overjoyed upon hearing this.

“I have two last Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills, but compared to the eighth-grade Sumeru Seeds in Fellow Xu’s possession, they are slightly less valuable. I wonder what you think about this, Fellow Xu.”

With a single wave of his hand, Lu Xuan made two round elixirs appear in front of him, with phantom shadows of spirit turtles and spirit cranes swirling around their surfaces.

He previously exchanged one Nine-Orifice Ginseng Fruit Spirit Seed with the former Chongxu Sword Master, but much of the vitality within it had dissipated. Although the Sumeru Seed was only of the eighth grade, it was a rare spatial-type spirit plant. Exchanging it for two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills, he had already profited greatly.

Considering the experience package brought by the light cluster and the finished elixirs, it was indeed a huge gain.

“That’s enough, that’s enough!”

Xu Wenjing quickly said, afraid that Lu Xuan might have second thoughts.

“If that senior uncle succeeds in ascending to divinity transformation, your contribution, Friend Lu, will be noted heavily in the credit record.”

He took a deep breath, took the two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills, and said sincerely.

“In that case, I sincerely wish senior’s successful breakthrough.”

Lu Xuan smiled as he spoke.

“By the way, Fellow Xu, these two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills were originally kept for my own use. If anyone inquires about it, please help to keep it a secret and conceal the true situation.”

“Certainly, certainly.”

Xu Wenjing nodded heavily.

After chatting for a while, Xu Wenjing left behind a messenger token unique to Fangcun Palace, satisfied, with the two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills.

“At this consumption rate, I must increase the production of life essence from the Dragon Turtle and Flowing Light Spirit Crane.”

Lu Xuan gently stroked the Sumeru Seed, which shifted between reality and illusion, and thought silently to himself.

After the Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills were exposed, he exchanged six with sect members, gifted one to Jian Huanzhen, and exchanged two here, leaving his stock dangerously low. He must extract more from the two seventh-grade spirit beasts.

He quietly returned to the Sword Sect and entered the personal spatial space.

Upon entering, the Dragon Turtle, lying in human form resting in the lake, seemed to sense his presence, shivering involuntarily. It immediately returned to its original form, limbs spread wide, looking as if ready to be harvested at any time.

“Friend, your spiritual sense is quite sharp, unlike this spirit crane who delivers itself willingly.”

Lu Xuan gently caressed the jade-like beak of the Flowing Light Spirit Crane and smiled as he spoke.

The Flowing Light Spirit Crane was basically forced to break through with resources by Lu Xuan; lacking in accumulation, it had yet to comprehend the key to transforming into human form.

It perched beside Lu Xuan, affectionate in its actions and obedient, utterly indifferent to having its life essence extracted shortly.

“Friend Lu has replenished many times and found some patterns.”

“Please proceed.”

The tone of the Dragon Turtle revealed a faint grievance.

“Haha, with that divine skill, you will not suffer any loss.”

Lu Xuan laughed heartily and approached the Dragon Turtle directly.

After more than half an hour, the two spirit beasts that had been drained were almost recovered under the treatment of the Ten Thousand Wood Spring Seal.

Lu Xuan put away the life essence, took out the Nine-Orifice Ginseng Fruit Spirit Seed, and used the Ten Thousand Wood Spring Seal to restore the seed’s vitality.

“This Ten Thousand Wood Spring Seal has indeed become more refined and proficient.”

He smiled lightly, feeling the gradually increasing vitality within the spirit seed.

Then, he came to the many high-rank spirit plants scattered everywhere and carefully nurtured them.

“There isn’t much Creation Spirit Dew left, and I need to think carefully about which eighth-grade spirit plant to accelerate its growth.”

“As for those few ninth-grade spirit plants, including the Celestial Veil Vine, without the same-grade accelerated spiritual objects, they’ll have to be cultivated naturally for the time being.”

His divine sense swept over, finding a suitable spot for the Sumeru Seed.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, layered translucent ripples emerged in the space around the Sumeru Seed.

When the ripples neared the spirit seed, they seemed attracted by some unseen presence and were completely absorbed.

From the moment he obtained the Sumeru Seed, he knew how to cultivate this eighth-grade spatial spirit plant.

Unlike most spirit plants that require planting in spirit soil, the Sumeru Seed directly roots at the edge of reality and void, requiring the absorption of space power during its growth process.

After years of cultivating the Sleeve Universe, with the Nine-grade Lotus Platform and Enlightenment Bodhi’s assistance, Lu Xuan has a thorough understanding of this incomplete high-rank divine skill. A casual gesture easily establishes the Sumeru Seed’s growth environment and allows it to be nourished by ample space power.

“When it matures to a certain stage, I’ll take it into the space turbulence.”

He thought silently and exited the personal spatial space.

Half a month later, in a similarly serene mansion.

“Friend Lu, I am Shi Jiuyin of the Netherworld Sect.”

An elder with a grim expression said slowly.

“Mr. Shi, I’ve long admired you.”

Lu Xuan clasped his hands in salute. The elder before him was at the late Nascent Soul stage realm. Though of the heterodox path, his reputation was relatively good, so his entry into Sword Abyss City did not provoke a strong reaction from the Sword Sect.

“I imagine my purpose is already clear to you, Friend Lu.”

The elder chuckled sinisterly.

“Is it for the Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills?”

Lu Xuan knowingly asked.

“Precisely.”

“I know my time is nearing its end, yet I am unwilling to become a half-alive ghost cultivator. So, I came to exchange one or two Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills from you, Friend Lu.”

“Here is an eighth-grade Nine Netherworld Yin Lotus, an extremely yin spiritual plant. Its cultivation method is relatively normal, not overly harmful, and Friend Lu can cultivate it openly.”

Shi Jiuyin, very knowledgeable about Lu Xuan’s preferences, directly took out a divine strange lotus seed.

Within the lotus seed, one could faintly see threads of black gas, thin as hair. The black gas was extremely yin and frigid. When scanned by the divine sense, it felt as if one was plunged into an endless glacier, freezing both mind and body.

“Hmm, there is nothing that I can’t use.

Lu Mou thought to himself, for his personal space already contained some Underworld Spiritual Plants like the Netherworld Immortal Tree and Buddha Mother Demon Seed!

“The Extremely Yin Spiritual Plant… Could you perhaps provide more details on it?”

He gently made a pretense of hesitation, setting the stage for later bargaining.

“The Nine Netherworld Yin Lotus is said to be a mythic eighth-grade spiritual seed, entirely a treasure. Once matured, its stems and leaves are top-grade materials for reshaping a ghost cultivator’s flesh body, allowing them to exist in a reborn form for some time.”

“The lotus seed is extremely yin and frigid, a peerless material when refining similar treasures. It can also be used to nourish high-rank Yin beasts and ghost creatures. Cultivators can also consume it to speed up cultivation, though!”

“Hmm, it is indeed a rare eighth-grade spiritual seed.”

Lu Xuan nodded softly upon hearing this.

“However, being related to the Nine Netherworld Yin Dragon Spring, for one, I have little use for it, and two, if it spreads, it might affect the reputation of the Sword Sect.”

Lu Xuan looked thoughtful as he spoke.

“How about this, one eighth-grade Nine Netherworld Yin Lotus for one seventh-grade Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pill.” How about it, Fellow Daoist?”

Lu Xuan’s reasoning was sound, and Shi Jiuyin pondered for a moment before speaking: “Deal.”

“Alright.”

Lu Xuan nodded slightly and retrieved a Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pill.

“However, Friend Shi, I originally told my fellow sect members that I kept no more Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pill. If anyone asks, please keep it a secret for me.”

“Will do, of course.”

Shi Jiuyin felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

“””
