I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

After nurturing the Celestial Veil Vine, Lu Xuan then entered the territory of the Thunder Behemoth.

Around the outskirts of the spirit land, dozens of fifth-grade Thunder Evil Spirit Lotuses were planted. The silver-white lotuses bloomed brilliantly, with arcs of lightning leaping among the petals, creating an imposing aura of ferocity.

"Not much longer until they mature."

He walked inside and came to the two Blood Nether Thunder Gourd Spirit Seeds.

With a thought, a very thin stream of Gui Water Yin Thunder, like a small snake, shot out. It split in two, each half burrowing into one of the spirit seeds.

This stream of Gui Water Yin Thunder constituted less than one-tenth of one of the Yin Thunders, just enough to nurture the spirit seeds properly.

The Yang Thunder Extreme Wood Technique had returned to normal life after being nurtured multiple times with the Ten Thousand Wood Spring Seal, and at last, cultivation could begin.

Lu Xuan carefully nurtured them for a while, then returned to his cave abode.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed by.

That day, while he was nurturing the Annihilation Absolute Sword Grass, a sharp voice from the White Ape rang outside his cave abode.

"Master, master, a communication talisman from Chongxu Sword Peak!"

"Chongxu Sword Peak?"

Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat, an unusual feeling of apprehension arising within him.

His figure vanished into thin air, appearing directly before the White Ape, grabbing the communication talisman.

"Master's movements are becoming more and more mysterious."

The White Ape stood aside, bowing its head and muttering to itself.

Lu Xuan channeled a trace of mana into the talisman, and Ge Bushou's familiar and gentle voice immediately sounded in his ear.

"Junior Brother Lu, I've advanced to Nascent Soul!"

The moment he heard this voice, the tension Lu Xuan had been carrying was finally relieved.

"This time, I was fortunate to break through successfully, thanks in large part to the help of Junior Brother. I will forever hold it in my heart."

"Furthermore, on behalf of Chongxu Sword Peak, I invite Junior Brother to come to the Sword Palace Hall three days later to attend my Nascent Soul celebration!"

"Brother Ge has advanced to Nascent Soul!"

Lu Xuan burst out laughing joyfully.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the fewer companions make the journey together, so he truly felt happy for the other's success from the bottom of his heart.

"The Nascent Soul celebration in three days' time, I must definitely celebrate well for Brother Ge."

Lu Xuan immediately sent a response, assuring that he would arrive as promised.

Soon, the three days had passed.

Lu Xuan, familiar with the way, arrived at the entrance to Chongxu Sword Peak's grand hall.

Ge Pu was busy receiving the Sect members who came to celebrate when he saw Lu Xuan. He gave a quick instruction, and then a flash of black-and-white spiritual light swept up, reaching Lu Xuan instantly.

"Congratulations to Brother Ge for successfully advancing to Nascent Soul! I wish Brother a smooth journey and longevity!"

Lu Xuan congratulated with a smile.

"Junior Brother Lu, thank you."

Although Ge Pu had already expressed his gratitude to Lu Xuan, he still couldn't suppress the feelings of gratitude in his heart, and so he gave a deep bow on the spot.

His advancement to Nascent Soul, apart from his own unique talent and profound accumulation, was also significantly aided by Lu Xuan.

The Yellow Millet Jade Pillow that he borrowed allowed Ge Pu to temper his Divine Soul, thereby making up for his weakest aspect, making the breaking of his former realm and Infant Formation, as well as warding off the Heart Demon, much easier.

"Brother, there's no need for us to be so formal."

Lu Xuan changed the topic and handed Ge Pu an exquisite jade box.

"Inside, there's a seventh-grade Spirit Ore called Black Flame Copper, an excellent material for crafting middle-rank fire-related Magic Artifacts. Brother has just made the breakthrough to Nascent Soul and could use this kind of treasure item."

"If you're not sure about it, Junior Brother once helped solve a problem for the Hundred Artisans Sword Peak, and you can have the disciples there assist with crafting the Magic Artifact."

"Seventh-grade Spirit Ore! You just said not to be too polite, Junior Brother!"

Ge Pu's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, marveling at Lu Xuan's generous spirit.

"This gift is too precious, but as your brother, I will accept it with difficulty!" he said with a hearty laugh.

The two had a friendship that was inviolable, and Ge Pu had a fair understanding of his Spirit Plant Master junior brother's background.

Though he had always stayed within the Sword Sect and kept a low profile, he was extremely adept at making money, with wealth surpassing most of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs within the Sect.

He had received help from Lu Xuan numerous times but was unable to reciprocate, and could only inscribe this deep gratitude in his heart. Now, after advancing to Nascent Soul, he finally had the chance to search for high-grade Spirit Seeds to repay his former junior brother.

"As for asking Junior Brother to request the Artifact Refining Master of the Hundred Artisans Sword Peak to assist in forging a Magic Artifact, there's no need to expend your connections."

Ge Pu said solemnly.

"Alright, then we'll do as you say, brother."

Lu Xuan responded with his characteristically easy-going manner.

"Junior Brother, go to the main hall for now and mingle with the other disciples. After the celebration ends, the two of us will celebrate properly in private."

"Brother, you're busy. Let's not return until we are drunk."

Knowing that Ge Pu needed to deal with the many Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the various major Sword Peaks of the Sect, and even those from the Outer Sect, Lu Xuan took the initiative to enter the main hall.

"Junior Brother Lu, long time no see!"

"Junior Brother, over here!"

As soon as he entered, four or five fellow disciples stood up, calling him to sit near their own seats.

Lu Xuan found himself in a dilemma and, after looking around, chose to sit next to Mo Yuanfeng, who was the closest.

"Senior Brother Mo, nice to see you."

"Haha, Junior Brother, you're much more popular in the Sect than me."

Mo Yuanfeng couldn't help but sigh after witnessing the scene just now.

Though confident in his own strength and potential as a True Sword Disciple of the Sword Sect, he was well aware that Lu Xuan's status within the Sect had surpassed his.

"It's all thanks to the generous affection of my fellow disciples."

Lu Xuan modestly replied.

"With your mastery in cultivating Spirit Plants to such a miraculous degree, reaching this step is only natural."

Mo Yuanfeng remarked with a feeling of elegance.

The Sword Sect disciple they had discovered in the Liyang Dao Sect had, in a mere hundred years, advanced to this current realm, evoking in him a sense of surrealism.

After conversing with Mo Yuanfeng for a few moments, Lu Xuan got up to greet the familiar faces.

During this time, he met many other disciples from the different Sword Peaks, as well as cultivators from the major Sects of the surrounding realms.

Everyone was well aware of Lu Xuan's feat in improving the new Sixth Grade Sword Grass, and they spoke with extreme politeness, some even trying to curry favor.

Lu Xuan looked around, noticing that the main hall contained no fewer than forty Nascent Soul True Monarchs, primarily Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators from Chongxu Sword Peak, with Wan Chong, who had newly advanced, conspicuously among them.

The rest of the Eight Sword Peaks and the Sword Palace sent one or two representatives, with the remainder coming from various Great Sect powers.

He noticed that among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sky Sword Sect present, two had shown up. Jian Wuxia sat quietly in a corner.

This former True Disciple of the Sky Sword Sect currently held the Golden Core Late Stage Cultivation Level, with a good chance of advancing to Nascent Soul.

"If there's a chance, I might even pull Senior Sister Jian Wuxia up a notch."

Lu Xuan still remembered how when he was in the Qi Training Realm, he had encountered the stunning Sword Peacock in a Secret Land, and the favor Jian Wuxia had granted him at the time. He decided he would look for a suitable opportunity to help her if he could.

"I haven't seen Elder Brother Fire Scale Child..."

It had been a long time since Lu Xuan had last seen Fire Scale Child.

"I hope Elder Brother Huo is safe and sound on his travels and that he can return peacefully."

"And that he can take Brother Ge's advancement to Nascent Soul peacefully as well."

He reflected silently in his heart, his thoughts immediately interrupted by a Nascent Soul cultivator who came to offer a toast with Spirit Brew.
