While Lu Xuan’s requirements seemed somewhat absurd, Song Yu quickly found a suitable location.
The next day, Song Yun arrived early, leading Lu Xuan to the Spirit Field that the Song family had located.
The Spirit Field was not far from the center of Void Nether Island, and it covered six or seven acres, much smaller compared to the peaks in the Inner Sect.
“Senior Lu, this Spirit Field was originally occupied by a high-level Qi Practitioner. When we learned about your needs, the Song family outbid others to purchase it, and the Loose Cultivator moved out overnight.”
Seeing Lu Xuan studying the Spirit Field with its freshly tilled Spirit Soil, Song Yun immediately explained.
“There was no coercion involved, was there?”
Lu Xuan glanced around.
“Absolutely not. That Loose Cultivator prepared this Spirit Field solely to earn some Spirit Stones. The amount we offered was generous enough, so he quickly agreed.”
The Song Family was well-aware that Lu Xuan belonged to an Orthodox Sect, which would not allow any shady business, at least on the surface. They’d rather spend more Spirit Stones than annoy Lu Xuan.
“We have arranged Spirit Gathering Arrays around this Spirit Field to suit your cultivation of Spirit Plants, Senior Lu. In addition, as per your request, there is a cliff behind the courtyard with an Earth Fire Stream running beneath it.” Song Yun detailed about the features of the Spirit Field.
Lu Xuan nodded. Considering the growing needs of the Four-Grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus, he had specifically instructed the Song Family to look for a Spirit Field with Earth Fire nearby.
Void Nether Island itself was a sea island where Strange Fire occasionally erupted, so it wasn’t too hard to find Earth Fire.
“Well done.”
Lu Xuan spoke to Song Yun with a smile.
Although the Spiritual Energy from this Spirit Field was far from matching the cavern’s within the Sky Sword Sect, it was much better than those in Linyang Market. He was already quite satisfied to find such a Spirit Field on this harsh, cold island.
“As long as Senior Lu is happy.”
A casual word of praise from Lu Xuan left Song Yun flattered, with visible joy struggling to stay suppressed on his face.
“Finally, I can let the treasures out of the Life Bag.”
After Song Yun left, Lu Xuan laid down a simple Formation and immediately opened the Life Bag.
The first to jump out was the plump Wind Falcon, constantly flapping its pale blue wings, clearly uncomfortable being confined inside.
The Cloud Leopard walked out with graceful strides, its emerald green pupils scanning the surroundings, the tufts of grey hair on top of its ears swiveling alertly.
Following closely was the Demonic Vine. Its grey vines swung sluggishly, but sensing no marked rare and exotic Spirit Plants around, it lay dejectedly on the ground, appearing utterly disheartened.
“Wind and Thunder Sword Grass! Plant it here.”
Lu Xuan found a spacious area, used the Earth Pulling Technique to plant the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass into the Spirit Soil.
The Sword Grass was already three feet tall, with a grey-black sword body standing upright. Its tip pointed directly at the sky. Not long after being planted, tiny Wind and Thunder Sword Qi began to circulate around it, creating mild sword screeches as they twirled and danced.
“The Moon Rain Grass needs a shady place.”
Lu Xuan’s spiritual power surged, and the rocks and soil of the island’s Spirit Field began to change constantly. Within a few breaths, he built a simple shelter to shield the Moon Rain Grass from the hot sun. At nightfall, he would retract the shelter to allow the grass to fully absorb the moonlight.
Next came the fourth-grade Xuan Chong Vine, with more than ten oddly shaped insect rooms interconnected in a bizarre yet harmonious way, forming a unique symbiotic relationship.
After planting the Xuan Chong Vine, Lu Xuan followed by burying the third- grade Starlight Sword Grass and the fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owls. Due to a lack of mastery in their corresponding sword techniques, both types of sword grass could only absorb spiritual energy, barely maintaining their vitality.
In addition, he also planted ten ordinary second-grade sword grasses. Once matured, they would mainly be used to condense spiritual seeds and expand the scale of the sword grass, improving its variety with a larger base.
The majority of the Spirit Field was used to cultivate Water Glow Grass.
The Water Glow Grass spirit seeds he had previously condensed amounted to nearly a hundred and sixty, which was key for Lu Xuan to break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-term stage in a short time.
His talent was mediocre to begin with, and with him being in the Void Nether Island where spiritual energy was relatively thin, if it wasn’t for the cultivation boost provided by the Water Glow Grass Light Cluster, he would not know when he could successfully break through from being a hair’s breadth away.
After planting the Water Glow Grass, Lu Xuan came to the courtyard, leapt off a cliff, and dove deep into a cave, ending up at a small Earth Fire Stream.
“It’s barely enough. If need be, I can also use the Qingmu Origin Energy to speed up the maturation.”
He put the Earthfire Heart Lotus, which had produced a fair number of pale red lotus seeds, into the boiling hot magma. fr𝑜m freewebnøvel.com.
After being washed over by the hot magma several times, the vitality of the Earthfire Heart Lotus recovered substantially. Its leaves and stems shone brilliantly, bathed in crimson and pale red light, dazzling to the eye.
“As for these few Underworld spiritual plants, I can’t afford to be too picky. They’ll have to be mixed with the other spiritual plants.”
He returned to the Spirit Field and took out the three types of Underworld spiritual plants he had brought along.
Two Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms, their gray stone surface bore strange patterns that upon close inspection appeared to be bizarre faces, chilling to the soul.
The Thorn Bone had grown into a small white bone forest, with slender bones growing wildly. On the side of the white bones were numerous tiny bone spurs, densely packed, capable of reducing a fresh demon beast corpse to desiccation in an instant.
The Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, its ancient trunk, looking like an old man’s face upon which dozens of eerie pupils opened simultaneously, squinting at Lu Xuan, their focus shifting slightly.
Many dried-out demon beast eyeballs hung from various eyeballs, all dried up for a while, like old, gray lanterns faintly shaking in the wind.
A cool sensation came from Lu Xuan’s neck, nullifying the discomfort brought about by the dozens of eerie pupils.
He found a secluded corner and planted the three Underworld spiritual plants.
The Void Nether Island wasn’t like the small courtyard in Sword Sect Town. The Fourth Grade Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Formation provided protection, and coupled with its proximity to the Sky Sword Sect, there were hardly any sightings of evil cultivators. He didn’t have to worry too much about the safety of the spiritual plants.
Within the Sky Sword Sect, he was merely a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment First-term stage. Planting many Underworld spiritual plants could draw attention and even lead to suspicion about his origin and purpose.
The Void Nether Island is different though. As a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment First-term stage, coupled with the status of an inner sect disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, he’s one of the cultivators with the highest authority on the surrounding islands. Even if he was found out, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.
Therefore, Lu Xuan made no attempts to avoid suspicion and directly mixed the Thorn Bone and others with other spiritual plants.
“Finally, everything is settled. The life of farming on this deserted island for three years is about to start.”
Though the aura and spirit soil on Void Nether Island are much weaker than those in the Sky Sword Sect, Lu Xuan still maintained an optimistic attitude.
For the next dozen or so days, he didn’t leave home, busying himself with taking meticulous care of the many spiritual plants in the Spirit Field.
In between, the scholarly cultivator Song Yu, came several times to invite him for a banquet. After Lu Xuan had attended one or two of them, he declined further invitations and focused entirely on the spiritual plants.
“The third-rank Thorn Bone has matured.”
One day, while inspecting the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan discovered that the faint progress bar beneath the Thorn Bone had been fully filled. Excited, he carefully uprooted the small white bone forest formed by the Thorn Bone.
Its roots and rhizomes spread deeply underground, pulling them out made them look like a mass of white bones, a bit of soil sticking to them. They resembled skeletons that had been buried for many years seeing the light of day again.
