I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1161 Great Sun Flame Wood Chapter 1164: Chapter 1161 Great Sun Flame Wood “Friend Lu, it has been a long time since we last met.”

A deep voice rang in Lu Xuan’s ears; immediately after, a tall elder with a red-complexioned face appeared before the crowd.

With each breath, the elder exhaled a fiery breath that left countless crimson sparks wherever it went. His presence was like an abyss, vast like the sea. He was at the Late Nascent Soul Stage—a Fire God Palace Elder who had accompanied the Fire God Ape to visit the Old Sword Serpent, Yan Liuquan.

“Elder Yan.”

Lu Xuan put away the Five Thunders Immortal Locking Bracelet and greeted him with a bow.

“It indeed is a peculiar treasure item.”

Yan Liuquan exclaimed briefly, then his expression became solemn, and the topic changed.

“Just now, Junior Brother Zhuang lost his composure for a moment and almost caused a serious accident; I hope that Friend Lu will forgive him.”

“On his behalf, I am here to apologize to Friend Lu.”

“Elder Yan must not.”

Lu Xuan saw that the elder was about to bow in apology and quickly intervened.

“To exchange blows in a competition and to flare up with anger is quite normal.”

“Junior Brother Zhuang has exquisite cultivation and formidable strength. I merely relied on the advantage of a treasure item to luckily achieve victory.”

He said modestly.

“A treasure is also a manifestation of one’s strength.”

“In the end, it’s still that Junior Brother Zhuang’s skills were inferior.”

Yan Liuquan spoke slowly.

As he said this, he couldn’t help feeling a bit dissatisfied with Zhuang Chunqiu’s defeat.

Being a cultivator from the Fire God Palace, he naturally expected Zhuang Chunqiu to win easily.

But instead, he inadvertently elevated Lu Xuan’s prestige.

Having ascended to the Nascent Soul Realm for over a hundred years and with the advantage of his home ground along with rich experience in combat, he still couldn’t defeat a Spirit Plant Master from the Sword Sect.

If word of this spread out, it might become the laughingstock of the Cultivation World.

“However, the foundation of the Sword Sect is indeed too deep. Whether it’s the Seventh Grade Zodiac Star Battle Sword Formation or that bracelet capable of binding, both are extremely rare and precious among same-rank treasure items, yet they both appeared in the hands of a Spirit Plant Master like Friend Lu.”

He couldn’t help but admire the Sword Sect’s strength.

“By the way, Friend Lu, a bet is a bet.”

“Junior Brother Zhuang needs to properly recuperate, so I will bring you the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed he promised to Friend Lu.”

A divine and rare Spirit Seed appeared in Yan Liuquan’s hand.

The Spirit Seed was oval-shaped, the surface was the color of red gold, and its interior was incredibly bright, as if the Great Sun hung within.

“This Spirit Seed is called the Great Sun Flame Wood, a fire-related High Rank Spirit Plant.”

Yan Liuquan introduced to Lu Xuan.

“The Great Sun Flame Wood needs to be planted in an environment rich in fire spiritual energy, and then cultivated and nourished with Fire Attribute Spirit Spring and Spirit Soil.”

“That’s the general direction of cultivation; as for the specific details, Friend Lu, being the most famous Spirit Plant Master from the Sword Sect, should be even clearer than I am.”

“Thank you, Elder Yan, for the reminder; I shall not stand on ceremony, then.”

Lu Xuan laughed, taking the red gold Spirit Seed into his pouch.

“Friend Lu, both of these confrontations were caused by the Fire God Palace’s Spirit Beast and cultivator. I apologize for the inadequate hospitality. Please accept our apologies.”

“Here are three bottles of Sixth Grade Spirit Liquid named Earth Sun Spiritual Spring, collected from a peculiar fire spring deep underground. It serves as a specialty of the Fire God Palace, used to aid in alchemy and also to nourish fire-related Spirit Plants.”

“Consider it a small compensation for Friend Lu.”

Yan Liuquan’s tone carried a touch of apology.

“Many thanks, Elder Yan.”

“This duel was merely a friendly exchange; it won’t affect me personally or the Sword Sect one bit.”

Since the Elder of the Fire God Palace in the Late Nascent Soul Stage had offered him a way out, Lu Xuan naturally wouldn’t refuse and immediately put away the three bottles of Earth Yang Spirit Spring, smiling as he spoke.

With Yan Liuquan’s proactive gesture of goodwill, the minor disturbance thus dissipated, leaving only Zhuang Chunqiu and his Arm-Extending Fire Ape as the sole injured parties.

Lu Xuan, under Yan Li’s guidance, continued to tour the Fire God Palace as well as some of the extraordinary regions nearby.

The many wondrous sights left him, who had always stayed within the Sword Sect, utterly amazed and full of praise.

The duel he had fought within the Fire God Palace had also earned him even more respect.

Initially, they had only regarded him as a Spirit Plant Master from the Sword Sect, receiving him with a friendly demeanor, but once they learned of Lu Xuan’s approximate strength, their enthusiasm grew markedly.

After spending about ten days in the Fire God Palace, Lu Xuan bid farewell to the Fire God Ape, Yan Li, and other cultivators.

Once he had put some distance between himself and the Fire God Palace, he controlled the Flower Charm Slave to observe for a long time. Seeing no anomalies, he took out the Giant Sword Boat and plunged into the void.

Inside the Giant Sword Boat.

He ushered the White Ape into another room and took out the Great Sun Flame Wood Spiritual Seed.

Then, a pile of Spirit Soil appeared in his palm, and he placed the Spiritual Seed within it.

Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the Spiritual Seed, and he immediately learned detailed information about it.

[Great Sun Flame Wood, Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, to be planted in an environment rich with the aura of fire spirits, nourished with High Rank Fire Attribute Spirit Spring and Spirit Soil. Once matured, the Spirit Wood will contain an abundance of Great Sun True Fire, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, useful for refining high-quality Middle Rank fire-related magical treasures.]

“Indeed, it’s a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, obtained effortlessly without any cost.”

The joy of getting something for nothing brought a smile to Lu Xuan’s face.

“Land of the Fire Spirits…”

“I have the makings of a Spirit Land within my personal spatial storage, which is perfectly sufficient for cultivating the Great Sun Flame Wood in its initial stages.”

“As for Fire Attribute Spirit Spring and Spirit Soil, I already have the ready-made Earth Yang Spirit Spring for the former, and the Commerce Association could help me collect the latter.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

After storing the Red Gold Spirit Seed, he remained idle inside the Giant Sword Boat and decided to revisit the duel with the cultivators from the Fire God Palace.

“With the current strength of my White Lotus Avatar, I should be able to defeat many Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.”

In that duel, he hadn’t revealed much.

A divine consciousness and flesh body that exceeded the average of same-level cultivators, split Sword Light, Sword Qi Thunder Sound, Sword Arrays, and other Sword Dao skills, plus two Seventh Grade treasure items — the Zodiac Star Battle Sword Formation and the Five Thunders Immortal Locking Bracelet.

“Just these alone would allow me to easily defeat an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from the Fire God Palace. If I were to add the Immovable King Seal, Xiao Space-Shift Technique, various Thunder Methods, Yin Yang Origin Magnetism Divine Needle, and other rare treasure items.”

“I should be able to defeat no fewer than three Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivators if I give it my all.”

“As for Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, even if I can’t win, escaping successfully shouldn’t be a problem.”

Once one reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, each minor sub-stage might seem to have minimal differences, but in reality, there is a vast chasm, and those who can defeat higher-stage opponents are rare in the Cultivation World.

Lu Xuan possessed many Divine Ability Treasure Items, which gave him some confidence, but without practical experience, he couldn’t know the true outcome.

“I still haven’t opened enough Light Clusters; there are so many Seventh Grade Spirit Plants in my personal spatial storage. Once I return to the Sword Sect, it’s time to reap a few Light Cluster rewards.”

He reflected quietly.

Although his true body remained in the personal spatial storage and it was only the White Lotus Avatar that had ventured out, he still didn’t feel completely secure in his heart.

Fortunately, several Seventh Grade Spirit Plants had been cultivated for many years, and with the Great Art of Accelerated Growth, reaping Light Cluster rewards was imminent.

“What dispels worries? Only Light Clusters.”

Intent on returning, he steered the Giant Sword Boat back to the Sword Sect.
