I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 482: 480

Back in the cave.

Lu Xuan was in the room, taking out two deep blue jade slips.

He applied one of them to his forehead, let his spiritual sense infiltrate it, pass through layers of prohibitions, and in an instant, a large amount of information rushed into his sea of consciousness.

The timing of cultivating spirit seeds, methods, precautions, treatment of spirit seeds, and so on.

After absorbing the massive amount of information, he opened his eyes, and the deep blue jade slip on his forehead had unknowingly turned into countless fine powder that scattered on the ground.

He followed the process and absorbed the method of condensing seeds from the other jade slip.

The method for condensing third-grade spiritual plants is several times more complex than what he obtained for the Flaming Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit. However, with the ability to observe the state of spirit plants, Lu Xuan could be more comfortable during the condensation process.

Then, he came to the Spirit Field and took out six spirit seeds.

The spirit seed of the Primordial Essence Herb was slender and gray-brown, indistinguishable from ordinary wild herb seeds at first glance and very ordinary.

The spirit seed of the Jade Dew Fruit looked like a drop of silver dew, glossy, and exuded a fresh, natural scent.

After planting the six spirit seeds one by one, Lu Xuan shuttled through the Spirit Field, checking on the growth state of the spirit plants.

He planned to normally cultivate the Primordial Essence Herb and Jade Dew Fruit he received from the Dan Palace and not use them for his own personal gain during condensation.

While he enjoyed taking advantage of things and gaining small benefits, he still had professional integrity. There was no need to fulfill his consciousness and betray the trust Dan Palace placed in him.

In the Spirit Field, the fifty or so Water Glow Grass used for condensation had already reached the latter stages, and slender leaves had tiny protrusions that were full of vitality.

Lu Xuan guided his spiritual power slightly and came in front of the four arrow vines.

The arrows formed on the vine were already over three inches long, hanging downwards with the arrowhead. They didn’t show any of the disposition of a fourth-grade spiritual plant at all.

But once Lu Xuan performed the Instant Arrow Technique and nourished the vines with arrow-shaped spiritual power, the arrows of varying lengths immediately became extravagant and reckless, high spirited with spiritual power converging on the arrowhead, ready to shoot out at any moment.

In the Sword Grass area, the Sword Peacocks had grown a lot. When Lu Xuan issued numerous sword Qi and condensed the Peacock Sword Array to nourish them, the sword grass was like a peacock spreading its tail, and the sword blades rapidly unfolded, showing off their beauty and murderous intent.

The Green Lotus Sword Grass growth was also not bad. Lu Xuan circulated his spiritual power, and a sword Qi shot out. In the air, it was like a green lotus blooming, spinning rapidly and integrating into the sword grass.

“Blue Lotus Sword Canon” was a fourth-grade Sword technique, which was too mysterious and abstruse for Lu Xuan, who was of ordinary talent. After a lot of painstaking research, he managed to use it to cultivate Green Lotus Sword Grass.

However, in the process of cultivating Sword Grass, the frequent display of corresponding Sword Qi made his understanding of the “Blue Lotus Sword Canon” much more profound. It was like striking two birds with one stone.

With emotion, Lu Xuan came to the last fourth-grade Sword grass, Sword Thousand Owls.

On the many branches, sword Qi formed the phantom of owls, quietly standing on the branches.

Their legs combined as one, naturally integrated into the sword branches.

Lu Xuan then cast a “Thousand Owl Sword Classic”.

The Spectral Owls, stimulated by it, quickly rushed out together, fluttering around Lu Xuan. The Sword Qi was sharp and the changes were many.

“Sword Thousand Owls is finally maturing.”

Lu Xuan’s mind was concentrated on the sword branch. Underneath it, a faint progress bar appeared. Upon closer look, it was clear the progress bar was nearly filled to the brim.

His mind was filled with myriad feelings.

This fourth-grade Sword grass, Sword Thousand Owls, was obtained from the Sword Hall after he broke through the Foundation Establishment and revealed his talent for cultivating Sword Grass.

After sowing, it had been more than a decade. Practicing the “Thousand Owl Sword Classic”, from the initial unfamiliarity to being proficient now, had taken a lot of time and effort.

Fortunately, it was finally about to be cultivated.

Fourth-grade Sword Grass couldn’t simply be rushed using the Qingmu Origin Energy. Lu Xuan was not in a hurry and patiently waited.

Six days later, the progress bar beneath the Sword Thousand Owls finally filled up completely.

Lu Xuan felt a surge of joy, his palm turning the color of translucent jade as he carefully extricated the Sword Thousand Owls Spirit plant from the Spirit Soil.

“Ordinary quality, but after all, it’s a fourth-grade spirit plant. Being able to cultivate it is already an accomplishment.”

His spiritual sense focused on this oddly shaped fourth-grade Sword Grass.

[Sword Thousand Owls, fourth-grade spirit plant, nourished by the cultivation of Thousand Owls Sword Qi, can differentiate into numerous sword intents of ancient ferocious owl beasts. Its swords’ intents launch powerful attacks, are rich in spiritual nature, possessing infinite variations.]

“I wonder what the reaction at the Sword Hall would be when I present a fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owls.”

Lu Xuan chuckled, holding the Sword Grass, swaying it lightly twice.

The owl’s Sword Intent scattered and flew out all over, under his mental control, the Sword Qi roared, drawing trails of afterimages amidst its howling.

He put away the Sword Thousand Owls, his sight attracted by the white light cluster that surfaced subsequently.

“I wonder what reward the light cluster would present for a fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owls.”

Lu Xuan touched the surface of the light cluster expectantly.

The next moment, the light cluster silently exploded. Countless minute light spots danced wildly, forming a light orb that, trailing a long silver-white tail, embedded itself within Lu Xuan.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested a fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owls, received a Level 5 Treasure of the Clear Mind Sword.]

A silver-white orb appeared in Lu Xuan’s palm.

It was the size of a pigeon’s egg, round and full, filled with countless silver-white rays of light.

But upon closer inspection, one would realize that all the rays within the orb were composed of Sword Intents.

The Sword Intent in the orb, compared to the common Sword Intent manifesting in full force, was significantly different: it was more restrained, calm, and free of worldly vanity.

Lu Xuan felt a curiosity for this silver-white orb and focused his spirit on it.

Immediately, detailed information about the orb appeared in his mind.

[Clear Sword Heart, Fifth Rank Treasure, was refined by a Nascent Soul expert employing countless amounts of Sword Intents and Sword Qis to enhance the swordsmanship level of his descendants.]

[In the refining process, it was stored and nurtured within his body, clearing the blade edge of the Sword Intent, allowing the myriad of Sword Qi and Sword Intent to blend together, indistinguishable from each other.]

[Upon consuming the Clear Sword Heart, it would enhance one’s understanding of the Sword Dao, deepen the comprehension and application of sword techniques, and increase the affinity with various sword implements.]

“A fifth-grade treasure and it enhances Sword Dao enlightenment.”

Lu Xuan was delighted.

With this Clear Sword Heart, he no longer needed to worry about struggling with Sword techniques and having difficulty getting started when cultivating Sword Grass in the future.

After obtaining these fourth-grade Sword Grasses, he spent a great deal of time and effort cultivating the corresponding sword techniques to ensure normal growth.

It took a long period of hard cultivation before he could start nurturing, and now he no longer had to worry about this.

He immediately swallowed the Clear Sword Heart.

Instantly, countless tiny Sword Intents appeared within his body, flowing through his limbs and body, eventually converging into Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

He stood in place, as if he had some insight.

Numerous Sword techniques and Sword Scriptures naturally surfaced in his mind, and the previously obscure points instantly became clear and comprehensible.
