I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

After harvesting an Experience Package for a Spirit Brew recipe, Lu Xuan continued picking lotus seeds and produced two servings of Green Lotus Wine from the light clusters.

"I can barely drink it for a while."

He resisted the urge to pick more lotus seeds, deciding to use the remaining eight Thunder Evil Spirit Lotuses solely for Condensing Seed.

"Once the next batch of spiritual lotuses is larger, I can open a few more light clusters and then drink to my heart's content."

He entered the center of the Spirit Field, attentively cultivating the E-Mu Green Thunder Vine, Flying Thunder Ganoderma King, Blood Nether Thunder Gourd, and Yin Yang Thunder Extreme Wood—these high-rank Thunder Attribute Spirit Plants.

"The Spirit land is starting to take shape."

"When the Thunder Abyss Sword Grass matures and more Spiritual Seeds are condensed, I can try placing them in this Thunder Element Spirit Land to see if it might stimulate and induce a transformation into Tier 6 Sword Grass."

Lu Xuan thought to himself feeling quite moved.

"Right, there's also the Tier 5 Thunder Sound Sword Grass. If placed within the coverage of the Lamp Igniting Ancient Grass and nourished regularly with the Fantian Brightness Bell, I wonder if there's a chance for it to transform into a sword grass related to the Buddhist Gate."

A slightly absurd idea surfaced in his mind.

In his understanding, there was some connection between Thunder Sound and the Buddhist Gate, so perhaps there was indeed some viability to the idea.

He noted it down secretly in his heart, deciding to try it after he collected more Tier 5 Sword Grass Spiritual Seeds.

Quickly, three months passed.

Due to their first Condensing Seed, the remaining eight Thunder Evil Spirit Lotuses yielded a total of twenty-six Spiritual Seeds—a decent production.

Lu Xuan followed the Condensing Seed method of the Thunderstorm Lotus, processed those Spiritual Seeds, and planted them in the territory of the Thunder Behemoth.

That day, while he was in the Cave Mansion Spirit Field cultivating Sword Grass, a familiar, deep voice was heard outside.

"Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Lu, your senior brother here is plagued by a craving for spirits, I've come to ask for some Spirit Brew."

Lu Xuan's Divine Sense swept over and he immediately spotted Li Xuanchen holding a piece of high-rank Demon Beast Meat, looking expectantly towards the Cave Abode with anticipation.

With a flash, he appeared at the entrance of the Cave Abode.

"Brother Li, welcome, welcome."

Lu Xuan Laughed as he spoke to Li Xuanchen.

The White Ape had been staying inside the Personal Spatial for the past few days, getting along well with its old buddies, so it was somewhat negligent in attending to guests.

Li Xuanchen had visited countless times and naturally didn't stand on ceremony, directly entering the Cave Mansion with Lu Xuan.

"You've come at just the right time, brother."

The two sat down in a quiet courtyard, and Lu Xuan spoke with a mysteriously satisfied smile.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Li Xuanchen's interest was immediately piqued.

"A long time ago, I accidentally obtained an incomplete recipe for a Sixth Grade Spirit Brew called Green Lotus Wine. After a long study and fortunate deductions, I managed to work out the brewing method and gathered the materials. After much exploration and experimentation, I've finally succeeded in brewing it."

A white jade small bottle appeared in Lu Xuan's hand, and upon opening the bottle stopper, a stream of pale green Spiritual Liquid slowly poured out.

The Spiritual Liquid surged layer upon layer, seemingly blossoming into lotuses within the cup.

"Oh? A Sixth Grade Spirit Brew?! No wonder I had a sense of it, the craving kicked in!"

Li Xuanchen, upon hearing this, was immediately overjoyed and couldn't wait to take a sip of the pale green Spirit Brew.

"Crisp and refreshing, the aftertaste is endless. Just when I thought I had reached the end of the road, an unexpected change occurred, making one's entire body feel tingling and comfortable."

"It seems to have a nourishing effect on both the Flesh Body and Divine Soul; it is indeed worthy of being a Sixth Grade Spirit Brew!!"

This Sword Palace Elder was an old drunkard, and he was also skilled in brewing Spirit Brew, but after meeting Lu Xuan, he was completely impressed by his brewing level and in recent years had given up on brewing himself.

He had thought himself fortunate to have tasted the True Sword Liquid and Ape Demon Wine, never expecting Lu Xuan to bring another pleasant surprise.

The more he savored it, the more he realized the extraordinary nature of the Green Lotus Wine.

"Thanks to you, Junior Brother Lu, for allowing your senior brother the privilege of enjoying such a fine Sixth Grade liquor."

He got up and said gratefully,

"Haha, Brother, you don't have to be so formal. You are one of the few drinking buddies I have in the Sect, so naturally, when I brew a new Spirit Brew, I think of you first."

Lu Xuan laughed loudly.

"Junior Brother Lu, if the production of this Green Lotus Wine goes up, remember to save a bottle or two for me. I promise the price won't disappoint you."

Li Xuanchen spoke seriously.

He knew that Sixth Grade Spirit Brews were extremely rare, and he was already content to be one of the first to taste it.

At the same time, he was aware of the difficulty in brewing Sixth Grade Spirit Brews. Knowing Lu Xuan's generous nature, it was likely that he would simply give it to him if asked, but he didn't want to take advantage of Lu Xuan, hence he took the initiative to speak up.

"Alright, but the ingredients for brewing Green Lotus Wine are hard to gather, and the brewing process is quite difficult, so please be patient, Brother."

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and slowly said.

Until he had absorbed enough experience packages for the recipe of Green Lotus Wine, he had no intention of brewing in large quantities.

"That's fine. As long as I can taste this Sixth Grade fine brew again, waiting a few more years won't matter."

Li Xuanchen quickly stated his position.

With his Mid Nascent Soul Stage Realm, he didn't have any immediate concerns about his lifespan and thus was quite patient.

After tasting a cup of Green Lotus Wine together, Lu Xuan switched to True Sword Liquid. Although there was a slight letdown, Li Xuanchen was quite satisfied.

As they enjoyed the fine brews, suddenly, the sword energy clouds in the distance churned violently. A golden giant sword flashed by, disappearing into the endless sea of Sword Qi.

"Judging by the flying sword's signature energy, that should be your Sword Peak's Jin Zaigan, Junior Brother Jin."

Li Xuanchen, putting down his white jade wine cup, said indifferently.

Although Jin Zaigan had a longer lifespan than him, Li Xuanchen had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage earlier and thus referred to him as junior brother.

"Senior Brother Jin has come back."

Lu Xuan looked up into the skies above Sword Peak.

"Did I hear that Senior Brother Jin went out for a token from the Kunyuan Immortal Palace?"

Li Xuanchen asked with curiosity. Being an Elder of the Sword Palace, he had access to more information than the average Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Sword Sect.

"Yes, Senior Brother Jin's life is nearing its limit. He previously sought life-extending treasures but was unsuccessful in obtaining Seventh Grade level Spiritual Medicine or Spirit Pills."

"Therefore, he turned his attention to the so-called emerging Kunyuan Immortal Palace, to see if he could gain a grand opportunity."

Lu Xuan spoke slowly.

"It seems like he must have found something, or else he wouldn't have returned so soon."

Li Xuanchen speculated.

"Obtaining a token from the Immortal Palace is only the first step. For Senior Brother Jin, as a Nascent Soul of the Sword Sect, it's not too difficult. The real challenge will depend on his luck from here on."

Lu Xuan said gravely.

"Does Junior Brother Lu not have any wish to explore the rumored Immortal Palace?"

Li Xuanchen said with a half-smiling expression.

"Those with the qualifications to enter the so-called Kunyuan Immortal Palace are all giants of the Cultivation World. I, a Spirit Plant Master, have no business being part of that excitement."

Lu Xuan, feigning bitterness, shook his head with an overflowing acting performance.

"Haha, it's already great that Junior Brother has this mindset."

"Your value lies in Spirit Plants, not in fighting others for treasures."

"If you can continue to improve and produce new Sixth Grade Sword Grass, within the Sword Sect, you'll be able to get whatever treasures you want, even the Divinity Transformation Ancestor would try his best to fulfill your wishes."

A hint of envy flashed in Li Xuanchen's eyes.

As an Elder of the Spiritual Plant Hall, his level in botany was naturally not low, but compared to the young junior brother before him, there was a world of difference.
