You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 338: The three-year deadline has arrived, return to the sect!

A peculiar spiritual species.

The spiritual species resembled a baby's palm, pure and delicate. Initially, Lu Xuan thought it was some sinister material left behind by two evil cultivators. However, upon sensing a hint of vitality within, he realized that the palm was actually a unique spiritual species.

He arrived at the spiritual field and found a blank spiritual soil. Utilizing the Earth attraction technique, a faint crack appeared in the spiritual field, into which he placed the pure and delicate palm-like spiritual species.

Concentrating his mind on the strange spiritual species in the shallow layer of the spiritual soil, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Blood Palm Grass, fourth-grade spiritual plant, fond of consuming the blood essence of cultivators and demonic beasts. Shaped like a palm, it possesses a certain degree of mobility. During its growth process, it actively approaches sources of blood to secretly absorb their essence.]

[Once mature, it can be used to cultivate sinister techniques or directly consumed to enhance physical strength.]

"A sinister spiritual plant with some degree of mobility."

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, as if envisioning a palm crawling around in the ground, searching for the blood essence of cultivators and demonic beasts.

"Well, this can help replenish the sinister spiritual plants in the Yin Realm Courtyard."

After the maturity of Ghost-faced Stone Mushrooms, Thorny Bone Trees, and Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Woods, only the five-grade Sacred Infant Fruit Trees and Bloodthorn Flowers remained in the Sword Gate Town courtyard.

After his trip to the secret realm, he gained two more powerful aides: the fourth-grade Blood Palm Grass and the fifth-grade Longevity Peach.

He took out a bottle of dragon blood essence from his storage bag and dripped it into the spiritual soil beside the pure and delicate palm.

With his mind connected, the part of the palm left in the spiritual soil greedily absorbed the fresh dragon blood essence. Soon after, thin blood-red veins appeared, adding a hint of eerie beauty to the originally pure and delicate palm.

After nurturing the newly acquired Blood Palm Grass for a while, Lu Xuan inspected the other spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

Once he adjusted all the spiritual plants to their optimal state, just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly felt a movement under his feet.

Looking down, he saw a pure and white palm with blood vessels emerging from the soil, firmly grabbing his trouser leg. The area of his calf in contact with it surged with blood energy.

"This Blood Palm Grass is quite mobile."

Lu Xuan moved the pure and white palm back to its original position, sighing inwardly.

"Fortunately, its range of movement is limited. With the protection of the fourth-grade Thousand Illusions Cloud Smoke Formation in the Sword Gate Town courtyard, it's unlikely to escape and suck blood."

Lu Xuan continued to plant Longevity Peaches and activated the dark red peach pits stored in coagulated flesh and blood with the Green Wood Source Qi.

Many grooves and flesh wriggled on the peach pits, slowly infiltrating their interiors and quietly taking root.

After inspecting and nurturing all the spiritual plants once, Lu Xuan finally felt at ease and returned to the house.

"Although I had a nearly foolproof plan for this trip to the secret realm, there were still almost accidents."

"Two late Foundation Establishment-stage evil cultivators teamed up, and in the end, the dark energy that died in my womb was resolved by the Pure Yang True Fire Scroll. A slight carelessness could have resulted in injury."

"Fortunately, the harvest was quite substantial, not in vain for the risk I took."

"Well, I'll just stay honestly in the courtyard in the future, nurturing spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts."

Lu Xuan decided to himself.

Over the next year or so, he indeed adhered to this.

Every day, he mingled with spiritual plants and beasts, using the remaining time to cultivate techniques and swordsmanship.

Occasionally, he would spare some time to teach swordsmanship to Song Yun and share some experience in cultivating spiritual plants with Song Sinin.

If Shi Zhong invited him, he would go fishing for sea fish and beasts near the islands to relax.

However, he never had the intention of entering the deep sea area, limiting himself to the vicinity of the islands. The sea fish and beasts he caught were mainly used to feed the Rock Shell Turtle, Azure-Horned Dragon Carp, and Longevity Peaches and Blood Palm Grass, which required blood and flesh.

During this period, Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu were persistent in trying to invite him to explore the secret realm again but were politely refused by Lu Xuan, so they had to give up.

During this period, a wave of Water Firefly Grass matured.

Nearly two hundred Water Firefly Grass plants matured, with fifty used for seed condensation. The remaining one hundred and fifty white light orbs, mostly of ordinary quality, yielded rewards of cultivation experience for over thirty years.

This breakthrough further advanced Lu Xuan's cultivation, which had been stagnant at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

However, due to his mediocre talent, there was still a long way to go before he could break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Cultivation knows no day or night.

The three-year stationed period passed quickly in over a year.

During this time, all ten ordinary Sword Grasses that Lu Xuan had planted matured. Due to being cultivated with the Four Seasons Sword Art, the mature Sword Grasses possessed corresponding attributes, and the harvested white light orbs were four different kinds of sword intent experience packs.

After absorbing each one, Lu Xuan's control over the Four Seasons Sword Art reached a new level.

As for the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, due to the different changes in the spiritual species in the scabbard at different times, there was a significant difference in growth progress.

The first one planted was about to mature completely.

The third-grade Starlight Sword Grass had grown into a spiritual plant resembling a three-foot-long sword, with condensed starlight on the sword body, shining brightly. Within its beauty hid powerful sword intent, and it was estimated to take a short time to fully mature.

The fourth-grade Thousand Owls Sword Grass, as Lu Xuan became more proficient in the corresponding Thousand Owls Sword Art, also entered a rapid growth period. The Sword Grasses of varying sizes and thicknesses formed dozens of sword Qi owl birds on their straight branches, integrating with the branches to resemble sharp, slender swords.

After more than a year of planting Longevity Peaches, they had grown to nearly the height of a person. The peach trees were full of spiritual energy, emitting a tempting fragrance that could be sensed from afar.

However, deep in the spiritual soil under the developed root system of the Longevity Peaches, there were piles of bones, sharply contrasting with the harmless parts on the ground.

The Blood Palm Grass, which started as the size of a baby's palm, had grown to the size of a seven or eight-year-old child's palm. The fine palm had become thicker with blood-colored veins, faintly revealing a reddish hue.

Moreover, its range of movement was increasing. If it couldn't absorb enough blood essence from demonic beasts, it would crawl around in the spiritual field. Once, it almost encountered Song Sinin, who came to visit.

In a fit of anger, Lu Xuan enforced a half-month blood abstention as punishment for the

nearly exposed incident.

Regarding spiritual beasts, both the Rock Shell Turtle, Azure-Horned Dragon Carp, and even the tool spirit Sand-Gathering Snails had grown significantly.

During the period Lu Xuan was stationed on the Empty Abyss Island, there were no major abnormalities.

Occasionally, sea beasts would attack the area where the Water-Fire Spirit Fish were raised, but Lu Xuan organized the Song family to easily resolve them.

The appearance of the new secret realm also caused occasional traces of evil cultivators on the island. Once detected by the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, Lu Xuan would monitor them with the Void Nightmare Eye and capture them directly if they posed a threat, using them as fertilizer for the Longevity Peaches and Blood Palm Grass.

"The three-year deadline has arrived. It's time to return to the sect?"

Lu Xuan looked out at the boundless sea, a smile playing on his lips.
