I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 517: Chapter 515: Complete with Yellow and Poison_1

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense infiltrated this unremarkable Primordial Essence Herb, finding a mass of pure and dense plant essence right at the core of its stem.

“The powerhouses among Spirit Plants are indeed different. You can’t tell from the outside that it has the grace of a Grade Three Spiritual Plant.”

Feeling sentimental, Lu Xuan carefully harvested the fully mature Primordial Essence Herb from the Spirit Soil.

He collected it in a sealed Jade Box to prevent the life-force of the Primordial Essence Herb from dissipating.

At the place where the Primordial Essence Herb was picked, a White Light Group flickered slightly.

Lu Xuan smiled, lightly touching the surface of the Light Group. Immediately, the Light Group silently exploded, countless tiny light spots pouring into Lu Xuan’s body like a galaxy in reverse.

[Harvested one Grade Three Primordial Essence Herb, obtained Grade Three magic item: Nascent Soul Grass Orb.]

With a swift thought, a Green Lingzhu appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.

The Lingzhu gave off a natural aura that instantly made people feel close to it.

“Another Nascent Soul Grass Orb, just right, I don’t have many of these left.”

Lu Xuan lamented, previously obtained Nascent Soul Grass Orbs were used to feed the Grass Puppet and to replenish the Qingmu Origin Energy consumed in his Dantian, so very few remained in his hand.

A new batch of mature Primordial Essence Herbs can yield a lot.

Thinking of this, he called over the Grass Puppet that was patrolling the furrows of the Spirit Field.

“Come, let me feed you something good.”

When the Grass Puppet, with its huge lumps of gray grass, trotted over on its slender legs, Lu Xuan stuffed the Green Lingzhu into the big lump on its head.

Upon swallowing the Nascent Soul Grass Orb, the vegetation Spirit Power of the Grass Puppet seemed ready to overflow and its gray-black body turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Though your quality is slightly lower than that of the Duobao Tower which also comes from the Qianji Gate, at least you can stay peacefully in the Spirit Field.”

“Unlike the Duobao Tower, even with the protection of a fifth-grade Formation Method and heavy restrictions, it failed to avoid the detriment of the Demon Envoy onslaught.”

Looking at the Grass Puppet working hard to digest and absorb the vegetation Spirit Power, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

He continued to carefully inspect the Primordial Essence Herbs in the Spirit Field and found three more that were already fully mature.

[Harvested one Grade Three Primordial Essence Herb, obtained one Grade Three Foundation Establishment Pill.] *2

[Harvested one Grade Three Primordial Essence Herb, obtained one Formula for Foundation Establishment Pill.]

With a momentary thought, two Elixirs the size of lychees appeared in his hand. The Elixirs’ surface was marked with flowing Spiritual patterns and effused Spiritual light, looking quite extraordinary at first glance.

In the depth of his consciousness, a massive influx of information flooded in, giving Lu Xuan a sense of headache and vertigo.

These were all about how to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, handling of the materials, control of the Pill Fire, timing of forming the pill, etc. Lu Xuan felt as if he had instantly gone through hundreds of Alchemy processes, gaining a deeper understanding of many intricate details.

“Four Primordial Essence Herbs, yielding a Nascent Soul Grass Orb, two Foundation Establishment Pills, and a Foundation Establishment Pill Formula Experience Pack. Not bad.”

Although the rewards didn’t exceed Lu Xuan’s expectations, he was already satisfied with these prizes.

Previously, owing to the outstanding cultivation of the Primordial Essence Herb, with a hundred percent success rate and numerous high-quality Spirit Plants yielded, the Dan Palace’s confidence in Lu Xuan had steadily grown, entrusting him with thirty Primordial Essence Herb Spirit Seeds.

Four had been harvested, leaving twenty-six in the Spirit Field, all mature. Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to prematurely ripen them but instead waited patiently.

He sauntered into the courtyard, looking down at the many spirited and robust plants in the Spirit Field below, a sense of serenity pervading his mind.

Although he had procured many rare Spirit Plants, abundant Spirit Stones, and numerous magic artifacts and elixirs from his participation in the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting at Duobao Tower, these gains were all predicated on his ceaseless harvesting of White Light Groups.

Thus, Lu Xuan had not become the least bit arrogant, still feeling that staying in the Sect and cultivating Spirit Plants and raising Spirit Beasts suited him better.

As for exploring secret lands and pursuing opportunities, unless there was a chance that he could obtain the Spirit Seeds, treasures, and absolute assurance of his safety that he needed, he might try.

Lu Xuan pondered and suddenly felt a plume of black smoke rise near his foot. The smoke stung the eyes and nostrils, carrying a foul smell, giving him a slight discomfort.

With a surge of spiritual power, he isolated the black smoke. Looking down, he saw a Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect, its back covered in green lumps, despicable looking, leaning against his trouser leg, which was covered in dark green pus.

“Next time you want to eat, don’t be so close. I can’t withstand it.”

Lu Xuan conveyed a thought to the little poisonous insect feeling helpless. The Sky Sword Sect standard Daoist robe had effects of dust evasion and cleanliness, and with a move of spiritual power, the green pus dissolved on its own.

“Here, have a poison pill.”

Seeing the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect was full of energy but only wanted to test poison, Lu Xuan reached into his storage bag and took out a black elixir.

The elixir was from Xuan Yin Old Ghost’s storage bag. Lu Xuan had insightful views on certain categories of elixirs, but he didn’t know much about Xuan Yin Old Ghost’s collection and could only ascertain that it was a type of poison pill, which could be used to feed the heart-devouring worm that was addicted to poison.

This poisonous insect not only loved all kinds of toxins and poisons but also particularly preferred novelty. After tasting a certain kind of poison pill a few times, it would develop a strong tolerance, completely unable to feel the effects of the poison.

So, it was necessary to constantly change various poisons and toxins.

Lu Xuan understood the rank of this poison pill, so he was not worried that he wouldn’t be able to handle the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect after swallowing it.

Indeed, the insect that was inherently sensitive to all kinds of poisons fell into a state of poisoning immediately, with its body continuously twitching and convulsing, becoming from slow to violent, and even a strip of black blood slowly seeping from its mouth.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan hastily focused his spirit on the poisonous insect’s body.

The poison pill he swallowed this time was highly toxic to the flesh and blood, and its outbreak rapidly circulates in the blood.

According to the situation transmitted from the insect’s body, Lu Xuan quickly found a response.

His spiritual sense penetrated the insect’s body to carefully observe each part of its flesh, gradually forcing out the lurking toxins, and making the insect take a pill that strengthens the blood and qi.

A content Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect, having experienced a new poison journey, laid on the ground, white smoke billowing from its body, exhaling a cloud of green mist.

“What spirit beasts am I raising? The Cloud Leopard is unsociable, I can barely see it. The Demonic Vine likes to swallow its kind. The Medicinal Pangolin is a complete social anxiety.”

“As for the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath and this Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect, the problems are even more serious.”

“One goes from disliking flying swords to enjoying them, just wanting more swords inserted, and building a harem of flying swords.”

“The other is addicted to poison. After trying a new toxin, it often hovers at the edge of death. A little carelessness will put it to death. However, it would rather die under poison. It really worries me.”

“Gambling, porn, and drugs. With porn and drugs checked off, only gambling is left.”
