I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

As he progressed further, Mu Yuanping grew increasingly astonished.

The Spirit Plants that he considered to be in excellent growing condition improved even further under Lu Xuan's seemingly effortless cultivation, reaching their pinnacle state.

With his innate Wood Spirit Body, he could be considered a natural-born Spirit Plant Master, a talent that made him somewhat proud.

However, after witnessing Lu Xuan's mastery of cultivating Spiritual Plants, that pride vanished like smoke dissipated by the wind.

"Master, I dare to ask, how are you able to be so meticulous with every type of Spirit Plant?"

He hesitated, but still voiced his curiosity.

"It's nothing other than familiarity."

Lu Xuan said softly with a smile, embodying the grace of a reclusive expert.

Mu Yuanping nodded repeatedly, deep in thought.

"It seems I haven't been working hard enough on Cultivating Spiritual Plants."

"From now on, I must devote more thought to Spirit Plants, so as not to tarnish Master's reputation as a Spirit Plant Master."

He quietly made up his mind.

After Lu Xuan took Mu Yuanping for a tour around the periphery of the Spirit Field, they returned to the courtyard.

"Some time ago, I got a Medicine Garden from the Sword Master; the area with the richest Spiritual Energy within it is perfectly suitable for Cultivating Fifth Rank Spirit Plants."

"In the future, some high-demand Spirit Plants will need you to help me cultivate and take some of the pressure off me."

"Of course, I won't let you waste your time and energy for nothing; you will be well rewarded."

He spoke to Mu Yuanping with a tranquil expression.

"No problem, Master!"

Mu Yuanping was ecstatic, nodding his head eagerly.

He hadn't expected that by just becoming Lu Xuan's disciple, he would be entrusted with such an important responsibility.

To manage a Medicine Garden and cultivate many Spirit Plants during the Foundation Establishment Stage showed the immense trust his Nascent Soul Master had placed in him.

"Additionally, have you ever heard of a plant treasure, the Nascent Soul Grass Orb?"

Lu Xuan continued to ask.

"I have heard of it; it's said to contain pure and rich Plant Spirit Aura."

Mu Yuanping nodded.

"I called you here today because I want to entrust you with an important task."

"Please tell me, Master."

Mu Yuanping was invigorated.

"For certain reasons, I need a large number of Nascent Soul Grass Orbs."

"The use of Nascent Soul Grass Orbs is quite singular, and although they are only Third Grade, they are extremely difficult to condense and require mastery over Wood-Based Techniques."

"However, for someone with your unique physique, condensing Nascent Soul Grass Orbs is much easier."

Previously, the way Lu Xuan obtained Nascent Soul Grass Orbs was mainly from the Primordial Essence Herb Light Cluster; the process was too tedious and time-consuming for him to do it himself, and the yield from the Light Cluster was already sufficient.

But with the advent of the Divine Wood Green Pot and his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, his need for Nascent Soul Grass Orbs surged dramatically, hence he decided to assign the task to Mu Yuanping.

He was naturally endowed with a Wood Spirit Body, which made the condensation of Nascent Soul Grass Orbs much more efficient, and any delay in his cultivation could be completely offset by a single Essence Spirit Pill.

"I am willing to learn the method of condensing Nascent Soul Grass Orbs and help relieve Master of his worries."

Mu Yuanping spoke solemnly.

"Good, I will not let you be at a disadvantage."

Lu Xuan said with a soft chuckle.

"Thank you, Master!"

Mu Yuanping was deeply grateful.

Afterwards, he asked Lu Xuan several questions regarding Spirit Plants and, after receiving detailed responses, he left satisfied.

"Youth is indeed full of vigor,"

Lu Xuan reflected, watching his figure fade into the distance.

"However, I understand. Back when I was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, if a Nascent Soul Elder from Sky Sword Sect had been willing to take me as a disciple and let me manage a Medicine Garden, to condense treasures for him, wouldn't I be utterly devoted, ready to lay down my life in service?"

He chuckled lightly.

"Then again, I seem to be not much older than him."

Thinking this, the corners of Lu Xuan's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

In the blink of an eye, six months passed. After becoming disciples, Li Haotian and the other two were very considerate and did not come to disturb him, only occasionally sending greetings.

Lu Xuan was pleased with this and calmly continued Cultivating Spiritual Plants in his Cave Abode.

"The Xuanhuang Tree Spirit Seed and the viability of that sliver of the Celestial Veil Vine have both returned to normal."

He gently unfolded a Green Emperor Longevity Leaf brimming with incredibly dense vitality, within the giant verdant leaf, a section of an extraordinary vine was revealed.

The vine was less than two feet long, radiating a profound Spiritual light; upon closer inspection, it seemed to be layered upon the space behind it.

Next, the Xuanhuang Tree Spirit Seed was removed from the millennia-old Spirit Milk and, along with the Celestial Veil Vine, was placed in front of Lu Xuan.

"The millennia-old Spirit Milk successively nourished the Celestial Veil Vine and the Xuanhuang Tree Spirit Seed, almost completely depleting its vitality."

"As for the Green Emperor Longevity Leaf, it still has some effect. It will come in handy when encountering similar Spiritual Seeds in the future."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

"An Innate Spirit Root, Ninth Grade Spiritual Seeds, it's time to refine that Incomplete Cave Heaven."

Even if the Incomplete Cave Heaven was protected by the Seventh Grade Zodiac Star Battle Sword Array, if he really planted the Celestial Veil Vine and Xuanhuang Tree Spirit Seed inside, Lu Xuan guessed he would constantly worry, unable to rest easy.

He instructed the White Ape to guard the Cave Abode well and stealthily left the Sword Sect, navigating the giant sword boat into the Void.

Nearly a month later, Lu Xuan, using the advanced version of Scolding Thunder Wing on his back, transformed into a silver-white lightning bolt, speeding towards the Incomplete Cave Heaven.

"No anomalies."

After simultaneous scouting by his Divine Sense and the Flower Charm Slave, he silently arrived in front of the dark fog shrouding the Incomplete Cave Heaven.

With a thought, many stars within the fog lit up, numerous potent Sword Qi streaked across like shooting stars, instantly forming a starry formation before him.

Lu Xuan landed on the ground of the Incomplete Cave Heaven and strode towards the Eightfold Palace.

Seven layers of Spirit Flowers stacked together, creating a bizarre world where earth, wind, water, fire erupted, Yin Yang changed and time intertwine.

At the very top, the eighth layer of the Spirit Flower was about to bloom, the surrounding space warped, giving Lu Xuan an indistinct feeling, like looking at flowers through fog.

"Without the nourishment of a Spatial Treasure Item, its growth is a bit slow."

Lu Xuan murmured, and with a thought, a translucent piece of Spirit Wood appeared above the eighth layer of the Universe Palace.

"Last time the Divine Wood Green Pot was used up, now there's only one layer left at the bottom, let's use the Wood Essence Sap collected from the Wood Essence Tree Root to mature the eighth layer."

With this in mind, fifteen drops of Wood Essence Sap materialized above the Universe Palace, the first drop slowly falling into the very center of the Spirit Flower.

The Spirit Flower trembled slightly, the warping space around it became more pronounced, incidentally drawing in the spatial force from the Inch Wood, seemingly syncing to the same frequency. The Inch Wood instantly shrank to the size of a fingertip, merging into the Spirit Flower.

Then, the second drop, the third drop...

As more Wood Essence Sap was absorbed, the Universe Palace grew visibly faster, a peculiar Spirit Flower blossoming silently, radiating spatial anomalies.

After the twelfth drop of Wood Essence Sap, the semi-transparent progress bar beneath the Spirit Flower was fully extended.

"The Eight Layered Spirit Flower is finally mature."

Lu Xuan gazed at the eight fused Spirit Flowers, full of all sorts of strange phenomena, feeling a multitude of emotions.

After eight blooms, using multiple High Rank Spiritual Objects, he had finally successfully Cultivated this rare Seventh Grade Spirit Plant.

After the bloom of the Universe Palace Spirit Flower, a White Light Group quietly emerged at the very center of the flower.
