I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 1205 - 1202: Returning the Treasure

"Come and be a part of my experiment, and afterwards I’ll give you something tasty."

A vague smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.

The Big Meaty Ball turned in front of him, signaling its agreement with a nod.

Then, under the control of Lu Xuan’s Divine Sense, the Spirit of Flesh quickly swelled into a giant ball some seventy to eighty zhang in diameter, engulfing the area with surging blood qi and numerous strange, large mouths emerged, exuding a strong scent of blood.

Numerous ghastly mouths silently roared, and instantly, a blood sea rapidly condensed above the Spirit of Flesh.

"Blood Path demon, take my Supreme Mantra!"

The Ancient Bell above Lu Xuan seemed stimulated, its Sanskrit glowing and spinning countless times faster.

"Om!"

With a loud shout, the profound mantra created a huge shock wave and crashed into the edge of the blood sea.

When the two made contact, the terrifying blood sea instantly melted away like snow under the scorching sun.

The Spirit of Flesh, sensing the threat contained within the mantra, transformed into a streak of blood light and fled far away, returning to Lu Xuan’s side with a somewhat wilted demeanor.

"Well done, for your reward, you get one hundred jin of High Grade Demon Beast’s Flesh and Blood."

Inside the Gluttonous Insect Pouch was a large quantity of Demon Beast’s Flesh and Blood, Divine Souls, and such, used for feeding the Spirit of Flesh, Thousand Handed Demon, and many Weird Spiritual Plants.

As soon as the hundred jin of Demon Beast’s Flesh and Blood appeared, it turned into numerous blood droplets and then rapidly merged into the Spirit of Flesh.

"The Spirit of Flesh isn’t far from advancing to the Disaster-level Evil Spirit of the Nascent Soul Level, its Blood Path Secret Techniques are inscrutable and unpredictable."

"Yet, before the Brilliant Clock of Brahma, it seems somewhat lacking."

Lu Xuan mused to himself that this was still the effect of his short-term cultivation. If he were to nourish the clock for many years and fully unleash its power, it would be terrifying for creatures like the Spirit of Flesh and other Evil Spirits.

After conducting the brief experiment, he returned to his Cave Abode.

On this day, while Lu Xuan was cultivating the Brilliant Clock of Brahma, Ge Pu’s familiar voice rang out from outside.

"Junior Brother Lu, I came to see how you’re doing."

"Your Guardian Spirit Beast with its high Spiritual Intelligence directly invited me into your Cave Abode."

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Ge Pu, with black and white Strange Eyes, was smilingly standing in a courtyard, while the White Ape respectfully presented him with the Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew.

"This White Ape is getting more astute."

He sighed and with a flash, appeared before Ge Pu.

"Brother Ge, have you concluded your seclusion?"

"Yes, and the gains were not shallow."

"I owe much to the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow, that Fortuitous Treasure Item Junior Brother Lu lent me before."

He expressed his gratitude to Lu Xuan with a solemn look.

"You and I needn’t be formal."

Lu Xuan waved his hand.

"Brother Ge, did you encounter any mishaps while in Huangliang Village?"

"There were two close calls where I almost got trapped and fully merged into that illusory realm, but thankfully, the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow is incredibly miraculous and directly pulled me back to reality."

"However, misfortune and blessing go hand in hand; as a result, my divine soul also went through rigorous tempering and has significantly improved."

Mentioning Huangliang Village, a glint of having narrowly escaped disaster flickered in Ge Pu’s eyes.

"As long as Brother is fine."

Lu Xuan nodded lightly, "I wonder how Brother is preparing for the advancement to the Nascent Soul in all aspects?"

"In terms of spiritual power, my innate talent is unique, and the cultivation technique I practice is also quite rare within the Sword Sect, so the least concern lies there."

"My divine soul was once my weakness, but with the help of the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow from Junior Brother Lu, it has now well compensated for that flaw."

"On the other hand, my flesh body still has minor imperfections that need thorough polishing."

Ge Pu was completely open and informed Lu Xuan in detail about his situation.

"Tempering the flesh body is a task that requires patience, you can’t rush it."

"Junior Brother Lu makes a good point."

"By the way, I came here to return the strange treasure, the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow, to you, Junior Brother Lu."

As he spoke, Ge Pu brought forth a crystal-clear white jade pillow that appeared in front of him.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for giving me an additional ten to twenty percent confidence in advancing to the Nascent Soul."

"If by luck I manage to break through to the Nascent Soul, I will do my utmost to search for a high-grade spirit seed to repay Junior Brother Lu."

Ge Pu promised Lu Xuan with a solemn expression.

Before receiving the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow from Lu Xuan’s hands, he had little confidence in advancing to the Nascent Soul, as treasures and methods for condensing the divine soul were extremely scarce.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan had willingly offered him such an astonishing surprise, lending him the incredibly miraculous Yellow Millet Jade Pillow for such a long period.

Therefore, he always felt indebted and wanted to find an opportunity to repay Lu Xuan properly.

"Haha, I might not accept other items, but if it’s spiritual seeds, then I won’t decline."

Lu Xuan laughed heartily.

His words were not without reason. The seventh-grade treasure items that Ge Pu could offer were merely ordinary for him at this stage, but spiritual seeds were different. If cultivated to maturity, they could yield several times or even more than tenfold returns, making them astounding.

He accepted the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow and engaged in an in-depth conversation with Ge Pu.

The two discussed the various scenarios that might arise when breaking through to the Nascent Soul and naturally brought up the Fire Scale Child.

"Junior Brother Lu, I have just ended my seclusion. Do you have any detailed information about Elder Brother Huo?"

Ge Pu asked curiously.

"I haven’t seen Elder Brother Huo; I heard he went to explore a secret land."

"Elder Brother Huo is too committed."

"Let’s hope he returns safely and successfully obtains a fortuitous treasure item."

The two sighed and raised their cups toward the distant sea of sword qi clouds.

Lu Xuan had long anticipated such situations and appeared utterly composed.

Back in the days at the Sky Sword Sect, he had formed close relationships with Ge Pu and the Fire Scale Child, especially the latter two, who as true disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, both in status and strength, were superior to Lu Xuan.

But now, the situation had completely reversed.

The gap between the three of them was growing ever wider.

Ge Pu was ready to break through to the Nascent Soul, and the Fire Scale Child was still taking risks in search of fortuitous treasure items in secret lands.

As for Lu Xuan, there was even less need to say.

With such different identities and strengths, naturally, they couldn’t meet as often as before.
