You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 160

In the Spiritual Field, numerous spiritual plants were flourishing impressively.

The Ice Chi Fruit, planted not long ago, had sprouted seedlings with pale white branches and leaves occasionally emitting a cold air.

Two Sword Grasses were growing rapidly, reaching for the skies, as if two sword cultivators were practicing their art together, fostering growth in tandem.

Around the Profound Insect Vine, eight tiny cocoons had formed, each holding an egg of the Hidden-Wing Cicada. Stimulated by the vine's essence, these eggs were on the brink of hatching into cicada larvae.

Lu Xuan approached the Sword-Nurturing Gourd and retrieved a second-hand flying sword from his storage pouch. He had purchased several of these at a low price in Sword Gate Town.

These swords had various sizes and flaws due to being second-hand, but Lu Xuan wasn't bothered. They served to nourish the gourd, absorbing sword intent, and the flaws had minimal impact.

The growth of other plants like Light Wood Tree and Yin Locust Tree was progressing as expected.

Suddenly, matured plants in the Spiritual Field erupted with vitality.

At the Copper Bone Bamboo, Lu Xuan carefully examined the remaining two bamboos, now fully matured. He invoked the Fractured Silver Blade, slowly cutting the roots of the red bamboo.

Before long, the two bamboos were split into halves—one of good quality, the other superior.

Concentrating, information about the Copper Bone Bamboo appeared in his mind.

[The Copper Bone Bamboo, a second-grade spiritual plant. When mature, it possesses both hardness and toughness, making it excellent for crafting flying swords or certain special elixirs.]

At the point where the bamboo snapped, two white light clusters faintly shimmered, attracting Lu Xuan to pick them up.

He lightly touched the white light left by the good-quality Copper Bone Bamboo.

The light transformed into numerous dots, flowing into his body.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested one second-grade Copper Bone Bamboo, obtained a second-grade artifact, the Crimson Flame Sword.]

Immediately, a crimson longsword appeared in his hand.

The sword, three feet long, had a crimson body with fiery patterns resembling clouds.

Focusing his mind on the Crimson Flame Sword, Lu Xuan instantly comprehended its detailed information.

[The Crimson Flame Sword, a second-grade flying sword, forged from numerous crimson flame stones. It possesses a sturdy body, a sharp blade, and inflicts intense burning effects in attacks.]

"A second-grade flying sword…"

Lu Xuan grasped the hilt and swirled the sword.

The sword's body flickered with fiery clouds, releasing small red flames that scorched the ground, turning rocks into charred remains.

After stowing away the second-grade Crimson Flame Sword, Lu Xuan turned his gaze to the remaining white light cluster.

Gently touching it, the light transformed into countless dots, flowing into his body.

A thought flashed in his mind.

[Harvested one second-grade Copper Bone Bamboo, obtained a third-grade treasure, the Golden Marrow Jade Liquid.]

A golden and dazzling semi-solid liquid appeared in Lu Xuan's palm.

This was the third drop of Golden Marrow Jade Liquid he'd obtained from the light cluster left by the Copper Bone Bamboo.

The Golden Marrow Jade Liquid was extremely precious, with one drop typically taking a hundred years to condense from a third-grade spirit mine. When consumed, it could enhance a cultivator's bone strength and resilience.

He had directly ingested the first drop, which was still nurturing and supporting every bone in his body. He kept the remaining two drops for later use, depending on the situation.

From five Copper Bone Bamboos, five light clusters had produced three drops of third-grade Golden Marrow Jade Liquid, a piece of third-grade Crimson Flame Copper Spirit Mine, a second-grade Crimson Flame Sword—a fairly good haul.

Moreover, the Copper Bone Bamboo itself was valuable, especially for crafting artifacts, particularly flying swords. Selling it wouldn't be an issue at a good price.

"With this, the remaining second-grade spiritual plants in the Spiritual Field are the Light Wood Tree, Yin Locust Tree, and Ice Chi Fruit. The Sword Grass is too special; it can be excluded from the normal second-grade spiritual plants list."

Lu Xuan tidied up the two Copper Bone Bamboos, contemplating his thoughts.

After the Clear Spirit Tea and Copper Bone Bamboo matured successively, the quantity of second-grade spiritual plants in the field gradually decreased.

"If I find suitable second-grade spiritual plants, I can try increasing their cultivation scale, but the focus should remain on third-grade spiritual plants."

The rewards from second-grade spiritual plants mainly emphasized second and third-grade items, which were extremely beneficial for him at the moment and would still hold value even after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Boost cultivation with the Spirit Firefly Grass. If I can find suitable types of second and third-grade spiritual plants, then quality takes precedence."

Lu Xuan roughly decided on his planting route for the next period and continued patrolling the Spiritual Field.

The remaining one hundred and sixty Spirit Firefly Grasses had entered the stage of massive maturity. Lu Xuan examined each one, harvesting forty-two completely matured ones.

Among them, eleven were of good quality, twenty-four were superior, and the remaining seven were perfect.

Forty-two white light clusters dotted the area, awaiting Lu Xuan's collection.

Looking at the dozens of white light clusters illuminating the ground like silver, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of abundant harvest.

After collecting all of them, thoughts streamed through his mind, bringing rewards either in tangible items or as knowledge and experience directly infused into his mind.

Forty-two clusters granted him nearly eight years' worth of cultivation, significantly boosting the spiritual energy in his body, right after breaking through to the Full Qi Cultivation stage.

"My aptitude is still a bit ordinary. For those cultivators with extraordinary talent, this eight-year cultivation increase might take them only one or two years."

Lu Xuan sighed lightly, his inner calm unwavering.

"My aptitude falls short, but with the Spirit Firefly Grass, I can make up for it. Once my cultivation advances further and my spiritual energy grows, I can expand the cultivation of Spirit Firefly Grass even more."

He optimistically thought ahead, storing the forty-two matured Spirit Firefly Grasses in a white jade box. Even though they were ungraded spiritual plants, accumulating this many could fetch over a hundred spirit stones.

"The Illusory Smoke Fruit has ripened too!"

Amidst dense white smoke, Lu Xuan carefully searched and found the Illusory Smoke Fruit hidden within.

Concentrating, he unexpectedly noticed the progress bar below the Illusory Smoke Fruit had silently filled up.

"Truly a socially reclusive type of spiritual plant, even its ripening happens quietly."

Lu Xuan remarked, plucking the spiritual fruit. Instantly, the surrounding mist swiftly dissipated, revealing a smoky fruit in his hand.

Holding the fruit felt like grasping ever-changing smoke, with an unreal sensation of potential dissipation.

Concentrating, information regarding the Illusory Smoke Fruit flooded into his mind.

[The Illusory Smoke Fruit, a third-grade spiritual plant. When consumed, it accelerates the practice of illusion arts and enhances lower-level spell grades, intensifying the power of spells

to different extents.]

[It can also be used to nourish spirit beasts with related talents or to refine certain rare elixirs.]

"The first completely matured third-grade spiritual plant—no easy feat."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh. This Illusory Smoke Fruit had been planted in the market of Linyin Town, then nurtured for nearly half a year in an environment enriched with multiple times the pure spiritual energy of the Tianjian Sect before reaching full maturity.

"A third-grade spiritual plant. I wonder what rewards it will bring."

Lu Xuan looked at the white light clusters left in the soil after the smoke cleared, filled with anticipation.

He gently touched the surface of one light cluster. Instantly, the cluster transformed into countless dots, flowing into his body like a river of stars.

Then, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested one third-grade Illusory Smoke Fruit, obtained a fourth-grade illusion formation, the Illusion Mist Formation.]

A formation plate appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.

The plate depicted countless intricate and complex patterns with clouds hanging above, displaying various illusions.

Concentrating, detailed information about the formation plate appeared in his mind.

[The Illusion Mist Formation, a fourth-grade formation method that combines illusion, confusion, and killing effects. When arranged, it possesses potent illusion abilities, confounding the mind and trapping multiple late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators simultaneously, defending against their intrusions and attacks for extended periods.]
