I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

In the vast starry sky, meteorites lit up one after another, streaking across the horizon like shooting stars, vanishing from everyone's sight.

Mostly, those who left were cultivators who had won various treasures at the auction.

Although it was sufficiently safe within Sword Star City, having a strange treasure on one's person was the main concern, fearing that someone might covet it, so leaving before the other cultivators was the right approach.

Among them, there was the mysterious cultivator who had acquired the "True Demon Art of the Myriad Skeletons." Lu Xuan noticed that two Primordial Infant True Monarchs closely followed him, leaving the Instrument Spirit Spatial almost simultaneously.

Once the treasures were out of hand, the rest had little to do with him. Lu Xuan quietly expressed his gratitude to Mo Yuanfeng and the others.

"Many thanks to all my senior brothers. When we return to the Sword Sect, please come to visit my cave abode, where I have the latest batch of Spirit Brew and cultivated Spirit Fruits."

Having obtained so many high-grade Spirit Seeds, Lu Xuan took this opportunity to celebrate.

"Good!"

"Haha, it's for your Spirit Brew that we put on this facade of sect brothers caring for each other."

Li Xuanchen laughed heartily.

"I promise to ensure you won't return unless you're completely drunk, Brother Li."

Lu Xuan smiled at Li Xuanchen, surprised that this Elder of the Sword Palace would be willing to play a part in his ploy and take up the role of his shill.

Otherwise, the extremely sacred Fruit of the Monster Tribe would not have come into his hands so easily.

While several people were expressing their fellowship as sect brothers, more than ten Nascent Soul Cultivators gathered around, each one smiling genially.

"I never thought that the Sword Sect had such profound resources. Friend Lu has just ascended to the Nascent Soul Realm and already possesses so many rare treasures."

The Elder from the Ten Thousand Beast Gate said with a smile.

"Elder Nangong flatters me. Most of the treasures were cultivated by myself, while others were obtained by chance. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the support of the Sword Sect and the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce."

Lu Xuan casually explained.

"Friend Lu, where did you get the second half of the 'True Demon Art of the Myriad Skeletons?'"

"Please, do not withhold such information from this old man. If there is any further development, I will be deeply indebted to you."

It seemed the Elder from the Demon Sweeping Sect was not ready to give up and asked solemnly.

"When I returned to my cave abode in the Cloud Void Domain recently, after encountering a spatial storm in the void, I stumbled upon a demon cultivator who was gravely injured."

"After dealing with him, I searched his body and found that bone-white book."

Lu Xuan casually fabricated.

"Did that demon cultivator have any other treasures on him?"

"No, there were only some Spirit Stones, Elixirs, and his Magic Treasures were destroyed by me during the fight."

Lu Xuan paused to recall before speaking slowly.

"What's the matter, Elder Chen, are you trying to interrogate a member of the Sword Sect?"

Mo Yuanfeng's face darkened.

"Not at all, not at all. It's just that the Demon Technique involves a lot, and it's too important to the Demon Sweeping Sect, so I ventured to ask a few more questions."

The Demon Sweeping Sect Elder quickly made his position clear and hurriedly left.

"Friend Lu, I am Qiu Feng from the Qianyang Sect. May I know if you still have any of those divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea Leaves? If so, I'm willing to pay a high price for several pieces."

A middle-aged cultivator with a calm temperament approached the group from the Sword Sect, smiling at Lu Xuan as he inquired.

"Sorry, Mr. Qiu, the Divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea Leaves are extremely rare, and I only have that one piece left."

Scarcity breeds value, and Lu Xuan did not wish to reveal too much about the rare Spiritual Medicines he possessed, so he declined tactfully.

"What a pity."

"This is my Communication Talisman. If Friend Lu cultivates more Divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea Leaves, you can use this to contact me."

Qiu Feng handed Lu Xuan a Communication Talisman that flickered like flame, saying earnestly.

"You are also welcome to visit the Qianyang Sect, Friend Lu."

"Thank you, Mr. Qiu, for your kind offer."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

After Qiu Feng, several other Nascent Soul Cultivators took turns approaching, all very warm and polite, offering Lu Xuan an excellent opportunity to make their acquaintance.

Amid the blur of activity, he appeared alongside many cultivators at the building's Teleportation Array.

After bidding farewell to Mo Yuanfeng and the others, Lu Xuan went downstairs to find Mu Heng.

"Taoist friend Mu, there is a matter I need your assistance with."

He spoke gently to Mu Heng.

"Just command me, senior."

"Recently, I've been needing the Commerce Association to help me collect a type of Sixth Grade Spirit Seed, or Spiritual Plant Seedling, called the Sky Origin Fruit."

"The more the better, price is not an issue."

Lu Xuan instructed.

Every so often, he would go to see what Spirit Seeds the Sword Sect had, and since there were no Sky Origin Fruit Spirit Seeds to his knowledge, he assigned the task of collecting them to the Commerce Association.

"Alright, this junior will make good inquiries with the other branches as well as the headquarters."

Mu Heng solemnly promised.

His reason for coming to Sword Star City was precisely to ingratiate himself with Lu Xuan, the Sword Sect's Spirit Plant Master—the demands that Lu Xuan made, whether it be the Sword Star City branch or the Commerce Association headquarters, would be met with utmost effort.

Lu Xuan nodded subtly and quietly returned to his cave abode within the Sword Sect.

He possessed various Strange Treasures and Divine Skills, and being careful by nature, would not give those cultivators with greedy thoughts the slightest opportunity.

"This auction truly brought an abundant harvest!"

Back in his cave abode, Lu Xuan's body and mind completely relaxed as he looked at the countless Spirit Stones inside the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, feeling immensely satisfying.

The items at the auction were of at least Fifth Rank, and they were exceptionally rare varieties, which was why the Spirit Stones he earned amounted to tens of millions.

"Holding a private auction could probably put my wealth over that of many a Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator."

Lu Xuan pondered to himself.

"But, the only downside is that many of my sect brothers from the Sword Sect, as well as cultivators from other forces, are now aware of part of my wealth."

"Not adept in Fight law, solely focused on Cultivating Spiritual Plants, and possessing countless Spirit Stones, I must appear as a big, fat sheep in the eyes of some."

A smile emerged at the corner of his mouth.

"Though Spirit Stones are secondary, the main gains are three High Rank Spirit Seeds, as well as a Condense Seed Technique, and a bottle of High Rank Spiritual Liquid."

Especially the Spirit Seeds and the Condense Seed Technique—once they matured or he began mass Planting of Sky Origin Fruits, the benefits they would bring him were unfathomable.

"Golden Wind Jade Dew, while only Sixth Grade, has the effect of nourishing all things, and in substantial quantity too, suitable for nurturing High Rank Spiritual Plants."

Lu Xuan had several types of Spirit Spring Spirit Liquid, but the highest Rank ones like the Mixed Element Tree Liquid and Tree Spirit Essence were pitifully scarce. The ones with a greater volume were of lower Rank, and this Golden Wind Jade Dew perfectly filled that gap.

"The Celestial Origin Fruit Seed Condensation Method is the first Sixth Grade Spirit Seed cultivation technique I've acquired, and it's a longevity class."

"However, as tricky as the Fifth Grade Seed Condense Method already is, a Sixth Grade likely requires a corresponding Spirit land, and the output might be less."

Lu Xuan silently speculated.

"The most crucial are the three Spirit Seeds."

"The Eighth Grade True Qi Xuanhu, which after being Cultivated for ten thousand years, could even evolve into a post-natal Spirit Root."

"Ten thousand years is too long, to be overcome by the Great Art of Accelerated Growth."

"The Eighth Grade Extreme Holy Monster Fruit, a high-level Monster Tribe heritage Treasure Item, which can be ingested for Body Refinement or fed to Spirit Beasts for potential Devil Saint status."

"The Ninth Grade Xuanhuang Tree, which upon maturation can generate the legendary Xuanhuang Qi within the Spiritual Plant."

"Each one of the three Spirit Seeds is exceedingly rare and valuable, each being invaluable in its own right, not to mention the Light Cluster rewards reaped upon maturity."

Thinking of this, endless anticipation welled up in Lu Xuan's heart.

"Thinking back on it, this auction was truly worthwhile!"

"Not only did it clear out some of the less useful inventory Treasure Items, but it also presented an opportunity to obtain such rare Spirit Seeds."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Previously, acquiring Spirit Seeds mainly relied on two channels: the Sword Sect and the Commerce Association. Although occasionally one or two would appear, they were generally quite rare.

But the auction was different.

Thanks to preemptive advertising, he faced potentially countless Nascent Soul cultivators from the Cultivation World.

As long as they were interested in his Treasure Items, they would bring High Rank Spirit Seeds to exchange.

This significantly expanded his reach.

"Once I've saved up more High Rank Treasure Items, I can hold another one."

"Next time, the guests invited would not be limited to my sect brothers and nearby forces; the focus could expand to the Whole Sky Realm."

Lu Xuan tasted success and could hardly wait to harvest a wealth of rare treasures from those High Rank Spiritual Plants.
