I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 355: Chapter 353 – Starlight Sword Intent, Selling Pills 1

Before his eyes, the mature Starlight Sword Grass reached about three feet, standing like a sharp sword pointed directly at the sky.

The grass was deep blue, its surface shimmering with numerous twinkling stars. Upon closer inspection, one could feel the sharp sword intent radiating from each starlight point.

Turning his palm into a lustrous jade color, Lu Xuan gently plucked the Starlight Sword Grass from the Spirit Soil.

The roots of the sword grass formed the hilt of a sword, spotlessly clean.

“What a natural sword instrument!”

Lu Xuan exclaimed, his mind converging on the plant, and immediately, a piece of information emerged in his mind.

[Starlight Sword Grass, third-grade spiritual plant, nourished and cultivated with Starlight Sword Qi. Once mature, the sword grass contains a subtle Star Power, capable of drawing starlight to defeat enemies.]

Lu Xuan flicked the Starlight Sword grass lightly with his finger. Amidst the clear ringing sound of a sword, countless starlights twinkled and numerous tiny meteor-like sword energies sprayed forth.

He put the sword grass into his storage bag and turned his attention to the silently appearing white light group.

The light group was flickering slightly, seemingly beckoning him to pick it up.

Lu Xuan reached out to lightly touch the surface of the light group. Countless points of light burst open, and with almost imperceptible sword intent, surged into LuXuan’sbody.

[Harvested one stalk of third-grade Starlight Sword grass, obtained Starlight Sword Intent.]

In an instant, Lu Xuan’s consciousness soared, as if immersed in the boundless night sky, surrounded by twinkling stars, each moving in its mysterious and elusive trajectory.

When he was back in his body, Lu Xuan felt an influx of sword intent in his mind. After digesting this sword intent, he seemed to have an epiphany, as he flicked his Wind-Thunder Sword.

Dozens of sword lights flashed, streaking across like meteors, attacking a common spirit tree in the distance with different trajectories.

The speed was extremely fast, turning the spirit tree to dust in the blink of an eye.

“Starlight Sword Intent, after absorbing it, my mastery of the ‘Starlight Swordsmanship’ reached a whole new level.”

Lu Xuan silently sighed in his heart.

After obtaining the Starlight Sword Grass Spirit Seed, he had taken the third- grade “Starlight Swordsmanship” from the Sword Hall. Only after diligent study was he able to achieve a preliminary understanding, progressing to a stage where he could cultivate the sword grass.

Despite using it frequently over the years, his swordsmanship level had made little progress.

After absorbing the Starlight Sword Intent from the light group, it was as though he had practiced this sword technique for hundreds of years. With a swing of his sword, the Starlight Sword Beam appeared, effortlessly proficient.

“Hmm, while those sword cultivators are diligently practicing their sword techniques, I am making efforts to cultivate spiritual plants, but in the end, the level of our swordsmanship is on par.”

“If only the result is considered, not the process, then I could be considered a genius in sword cultivation!”

He thought so, thick-skinned.

With the maturation of the Starlight Sword Grass, only the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass of varying growth stages were left in the Spirit Field. Lu Xuan intended to attempt to condense sword grass spirit seeds using these ten stalks of Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, to see if he could convert the method of obtaining spirit seeds from promoting mutation in the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath to one of bulk production.

As for the fourth-rank Sword Thousand Owls, Lu Xuan began to study the relevant sword secrets late, coupled with their higher rank, there was still a long time until maturity.

Having returned to the sect for more than a month, Lu Xuan planned to visit the small courtyard in Sword Gate Town to supplement nutrients for the Blood Scourge Flower, Holy Baby Fruit, and others.

He quietly slipped out of the sect alone, riding on a common flying sword, and arrived in the courtyard.

Upon opening the Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array and entering the courtyard, there was a whitish-red palm hitting his lower leg.

Lu Xuan looked and saw that it was the Blood Spirit Palm ginseng twirling around him, conveying its thirst for blood.

He quickly took out a bottle of Water Dragon Essence Blood from his storage bag and directly poured it onto the reddish palm.

After feeding some Blood to the Blood Spirit Palm ginseng, Lu Xuan nurtured the other three varieties of Underworld Spiritual Plants in the courtyard.

The Strange Longevity Peach required fresh demon beast flesh, the Blood Scourge Flower absorbed a large amount of Water Dragon Essence Blood, while for the Holy Baby Fruit, he squeezed out a large number of infant souls devoid of intelligence from the Wood Infant.

Having meticulously nurtured these three underworld fifth-rank spiritual plants, Lu Xuan took out the piece of shapeless Resentful Spirit Mud from his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

The Resentful Spirit Mud was filled with a great amount of resentment, making it unsuitable for cultivating these few types of spiritual plants. However, Lu Xuan noticed that their temperaments matched, and placing them together might be beneficial.

After finishing all this, donning the Thousand Masks, he disguised himself as an ordinary looking Foundation Establishment mid-term cultivator and arrived at the Wanbao Building.

“Please, elder…”

Seeing Lu Xuan enter the hall, a Qi Practitioner Intermediate Level young man greeted him with a warm smile. Just a brief sweep from his spiritual sense over Lu Xuan, he felt his profound and unfathomable spiritual power. His expression immediately became fearful and he respectfully greeted him.

“Hmm, lead the way upstairs.”

Lu Xuan slightly nodded, letting the young cultivator lead him to a higher floor.

The first floor primarily contained items needed for the Qi Training Realm, which weren’t of much use to him at the moment.

Following the young man, he entered an ancient-looking room.

Soon, a beautiful servant girl brought over Spiritual Fruit and Spiritual Tea.

Just as Lu Xuan took a sip of the tea, an old man came over.

“Sorry I’m late, please excuse my tardiness.”

“My surname is Li, I am the master of this branch of the Wanbao Building in Sword Gate Town. Please tell me if you have any requirements,” said the old man. Short and fat, he had a kind smile on his face as he spoke enthusiastically.

“Li Dao You, I am a mere wandering cultivator who happened to pass by. I’d like to sell a few treasures.”

Lu Xuan spoke calmly, the Thousand Masks covering his face, his features changing naturally like they were always supposed to look that way.

“May I know what treasures you want to sell…”

The old man laughed gently by his side.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Xuan produced two elixirs the size of longan in the palm of his hand. The spiritual patterns on the pills were flowing, blindingly bright. The rich spiritual energy could be felt even from afar.

“Foundation Establishment Pills! There are two!”

The moment he saw the Foundation Establishment Pills, the short, chubby old man immediately stood up, his tone full of astonishment.

“Yes, two high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills.”

Being the head of this branch of the Wanbao Building and being located so close to the Sky Sword Sect in Sword Gate Town, the old man had insightful strength and vision.

After another scrutinizing glance, he confirmed that these were indeed Foundation Establishment Pills.

His heart couldn’t help but race with excitement.

Foundation Establishment Pills were firmly controlled by the great sects and major powers. Possessing them meant the potential to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, having tremendous appeal for cultivators from ordinary small families and loose cultivators.

Foundation Establishment Pills rarely circulated in the market. Once they emerged, they would be snatched up by countless loose cultivators, who wouldn’t hesitate to go bankrupt for them.

“I want to buy these two Foundation Establishment Pills. Also, in Sword Gate Town, whether it’s reputation or wealth, the Wanbao Building is top-tier. We will make sure to offer you a price that will satisfy you.”

“Do you have any specific requests?”

“I don’t need spirit stones. These two Foundation Establishment Pills, along with this fourth-grade Soul Leading Lamp artifact, can be exchanged for high- rank spirit seeds, or eggs and young demon beasts. High-grade pill furnaces or any other particular treasures such as special spiritual soil, spiritual liquid, etc, can also be considered.”

As Lu Xuan slowly spoke, a cold wind blew through and a sinister-looking lantern appeared in his hand.

With a skeleton as the handle, human skin as the lampshade, and a dark red lamp wick like countless tentacles, it seemed to want to draw a person’s soul into it with each gentle sway.
