You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 379: Flawless Sword

"That's a relief, otherwise I would have felt uneasy."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"My name is Lu Xuan. May I know how to address senior brother?"

"Li Zhen. You can just call me Senior Brother Li."

The youth with a gentle demeanor clasped his hands together, then swiftly changed the topic.

"I've heard of Junior Brother Lu's name early on. Among our peers, your achievements in the field of spirit plants far exceed others. For this venture into the blessed land, we will indeed need the talents of Junior Brother Lu."

"Senior Brother Li flatters me. I'm just a logistician, providing some insignificant support to the charging elders and my fellow brothers and sisters."

After exchanging a few modest words, Lu Xuan learned from the conversation that the aloof female cultivator was named Jian Wuxia, one of the seventeen true disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, possessing an innate sword body with a terrifyingly high talent in the way of the sword.

Introduced by the gentle youth, he briefly got acquainted with the other two.

After a while, a pretty woman in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment arrived.

"Everyone is here. We are ready to set out. The blessed land is located in the void, a long and arduous journey ahead. Please, fellow junior brothers and sisters, focus your minds and gather your spiritual power. I will use a teleportation formation and senior uncle's magical treasure to take us to the blessed land."

Once everyone had arrived, Jian Wuxia gave a brief instruction and flicked her finger, sending several sword beams into the ground. Immediately, countless spirit patterns lit up, and a vast formation enveloped Lu Xuan and the others.

Dozens of spirit stones, shining brightly, scattered around, integrating into the formation.

"Judging by the size and concentration of spiritual energy in these spirit stones, they must be the exceedingly rare medium-grade spirit stones. To activate this teleportation formation, it actually requires dozens of them…"

Lu Xuan muttered to himself, impressed by the sect's generosity.

He held his breath, gathered his spiritual power, and let the column of spiritual energy lift him into the sky.

After entering the void, Jian Wuxia summoned a hollow wooden sword. The body of the wooden sword was wrapped with the phantoms of true dragons and phoenixes. Under her spiritual sense communication, the phantoms suddenly enlarged thousands of times, seemingly turning from illusion to reality, leading Lu Xuan and the others into a dark space.

In the chaos, time seemed to lose its meaning.

"We've arrived."

A crisp voice sounded next to Lu Xuan's ear, followed by a sense of solidity under his feet. Opening his eyes,

What appeared before his eyes was a bizarre and vast world, with dark red soil underfoot, as if made from piles of dried flesh. The air was filled with a strange scent, a mix of meaty fragrance and stench, inducing discomfort.

Looking around, the place was desolate, with only a few spirit plants visible, each more peculiar than the last.

"This blessed land was opened by the joint efforts of three sects, besides our Sky Sword Sect, the other two are the Beast Sect and the Lingxiao Sect, with strengths comparable to our own."

"Establishing a new blessed land is a long-term process, likely to encounter many formations, restrictions, or demonic beasts and evil spirits. Along with the peculiar spirit plants in this land, all these factors contributed to the decision of the three sects to establish a camp at the rear as a logistical support and resting place."

Except for Lu Xuan, the other four were not entering this blessed land for the first time, so they adapted more quickly. The five of them flew at low altitude, riding on sword lights.

After flying over a hundred li, they stopped in front of a camp.

"Rest for half a day. Junior Brother Lu, stay within the camp, the rest will follow me to the front line."

The aloof female cultivator, Jian Wuxia, left these instructions before entering a simple stone house.

Within the camp, the three sects were distinctly separate from each other. Lu Xuan, with a sweep of his spiritual sense, noticed that the other two areas each had a varying number of cultivators.

"Junior Brother Lu, you'll be staying here for a long time in the future. You might as well get accustomed to it."

"The number of peculiar spirit plants is vast, and their grades are not low, potentially containing immense value. Although Junior Brother cannot fight alongside us, if you can understand and explore the peculiarities and uses of these spirit plants, you alone could be worth many of us."

Li Zhen briefly introduced Lu Xuan to the layout of the camp before departing.

Lu Xuan returned to his dwelling and released the Cloud-Stepping Lynx and the Demon Ghost Vine from the spirit beast plaque.

"See if there are any evil spirits nearby."

The Cloud-Stepping Lynx glanced at Lu Xuan with its emerald eyes, circled the walls, and seemed to peer through them to a distance.

"Aow..."

With a mix of meanings in its low growl, the tufts of fur on its ear tips drooped down as it lazily sprawled on the ground.

Lu Xuan was then reassured. Just as he was about to meditate, he suddenly noticed grey sludge all over the floor.

Following the trail of the sludge, he saw the Demon Ghost Vine crawling wildly on the ground, its vines secreting grey sludge frantically, as if it had sensed something irresistibly delicious.

"The Demon Ghost Vine feeds on spirit seeds and plants, as well as the flesh of demonic beasts. These spirit plants, mutated under the influence of unknown powers of flesh and blood, fit its appetite perfectly."

Lu Xuan speculated, communicating with the Demon Ghost Vine to hold back its excitement.

Next, he focused his mind, and a grey-white eyeball jumped out from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, silently burrowing into the void.

It was the fifth-grade Void Nightmare Eye, obtained from the light orb of the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood upon maturity.

After refining it for such a long time, Lu Xuan had become more proficient in its control. He could monitor a certain range around him through the vision of the Void Nightmare Eye.

A thin crack appeared in the palm of his left hand, and a tiny eyeball emerged, revealing the scene observed by the Void Nightmare Eye outside.

Having confirmed the surroundings were safe with the Cloud-Stepping Lynx and the Void Nightmare Eye, Lu Xuan finally relaxed. Without the need to carefully nurture the spirit plants, he simply sat cross-legged on the bed to practice his cultivation technique.

"Practicing, yet it feels like not practicing..."

Lu Xuan opened his eyes and couldn't help but mock himself.

Half a day passed, and there was no change in the spiritual power within his body, giving him a clearer understanding of his own aptitude.

Suddenly, he sensed something. The eyeball in his palm disappeared in a flash, and the Void Nightmare Eye outside instantly retreated into the void.

A handsome young man appeared above the Sky Sword Sect's camp, his body surrounded by countless sword qi phantoms that shifted endlessly, morphing into various strange creatures and beasts.

"A Core Formation real person!"

Upon seeing the young man, Lu Xuan instantly realized and hurried out of the stone house with a surge of excitement.

"Master Gu!"

"Master Gu!"

Li Zhen and the others also rushed out of their dwellings almost at the same time, greeting him in unison.

The visitor was Gu Jiankong, one of the Sky Sword Sect's Core Formation real persons, whom Lu Xuan had encountered once while resolving the obsession of the Azure Profound Deer.

"Jian Wuxia, did you bring everything I asked for?"

The handsome young man nodded at everyone and gently floated down, asking the aloof female cultivator.

"Master Gu, I've brought everything."

Jian Wuxia nodded emphatically, handing a black cloth bag decorated with dense spirit patterns to Core Formation real person Gu Jiankong.

"Good, with these targeted pills and talismans, we can hold on for a long time."

Gu Jiankong nodded in satisfaction, turning to Lu Xuan:

"Junior Nephew Lu, it's been a while since we've met. I didn't expect you to have broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment."

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.
