I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 363: Chapter 361: Filthy Bug Grass_i

“As for vaporizing the spiritual energy, it might be a bit challenging for other cultivators, but for me, it’s a breeze.”

Lu Xuan had a thought and the clouds above the Jade Dew Fruit Spirit Seed changed. Drizzles of spirit rain fell, and by the time they were about to drip onto the Spirit Soil, they had already turned into a dense mist, like pale white gauze, gently seeping into the Jade Dew Fruit Spirit Seed.

In order to meticulously carry out cultivation, he had cast the Spirit Rain Technique countless times. He had already reached the Grandmaster Realm in this basic formula method, so turning spiritual rain into mist presented no difficulty to him.

A month had passed since he planted the Primordial Essence Herb and the Jade Dew Fruit.

Both Spirit Plants had taken root and sprouted. The Primordial Essence Herb was small and seemed quite ordinary, but once one sensed the plant essence hidden deep within the plant, one would be amazed at its richness and purity. The Jade Dew Fruit was about three inches long and seemed as if it were covered with a layer of silver-white gauze. Especially in the morning, when fine droplets of spiritual energy condensed on the plant, it looked all the more spiritual and refreshing.

In the yard, the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect swallowed a Corpse Flame Pill and dragged its infested and lifeless body to the vicinity of the Hundred-Year Ice Spirit. It froze the corpse poison and waited for Lu Xuan to clean up the remnants soon afterwards.

After swallowing more and more Corpse Flame Pills, the Heart-Eating Worm’s resistance to the poison increased, and the backlash from the toxins became weaker. The worm could now actively move to the Hundred-Year Ice Spirit for detoxification.

Of course, the effectiveness of the Corpse Flame Pill on the growth of the Heart-Eating Worm was diminishing, so Lu Xuan decided to find a new type of poison for the worm in the future.

A streak of blue light flashed across and Fat Bird arrived above the small lake, emitting sharp chirping sounds. The Fire Separation Flood Dragon, which was several feet long, obediently lowered its head, allowing Fat Bird to scold it harshly.

The troublemaking Rock-shell Turtle luxuriated in others’ troubles, and the Green Horned Dragon Carp stayed at the bottom of the lake to avoid being involved.

The Fire Separation Flood Dragon and Rock-shell Turtle were both hatched by the Wind Falcon. Though they weren’t birthed directly, the Wind Falcon exhibited a strong maternal instinct towards them. Like many human mothers, she favored the later-born Rock-shell Turtle more.

Lu Xuan didn’t interfere, instead putting all his attention on the Sword Peacock in his hand.

A month had passed. Under the continuous effects of the Cloud Mountain Jade Slip and the Cleansing Spell, the black spots on the sword body had disappeared by more than half.

Now there was only one left.

He placed the Cloud Mountain Jade Slip on the black spot. As Lu Xuan had a thought, he controlled the black spot with his Spiritual Sense and led it into the Jade Slip. After the Jade Slip absorbed it, Lu Xuan let out a breath.

“Finally, I’ve thoroughly eliminated that Shen Yin foul gas. Now I just need to nourish the Sword Peacock in the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath for a few days, and it will completely recover.”

He grabbed the ancient sword sheath at his waist, stabbed it fiercely through the Spirit Qi Membrane and directly into the deepest part of the sheath.

As for the Fourth Grade Cloud Mountain Jade Slip, after absorbing so much Shen Ym foul gas, it had completely lost its Spirit Nature and became a useless piece of jade.

A few more days later, after examining the Sword Peacock and confirming that there were no issues, he took out the Communication Talisman left by Su Man Man and sent a message using it.

A moment later, a rainbow light descended at the foot of the mountain, and a cold-looking female cultivator appeared, curiously looking around Lu Xuan’s Cave Mansion.

Junior Brother Lu has many abundant spirit plants in his abode,” the cold female cultivator, Su Man Man, admired after Lu Xuan led her into the Cave Mansion.

“I have no other hobbies. I just like to potter about with various flowers and plants.”

Entering the small courtyard, Lu Xuan served the Spiritual Fruit and Spiritual Tea.

“Both the Spiritual Fruit and Spirit Brew taste good. I can see that my Junior Brother has put in a lot of effort.”

As the daughter of the Core Formation Elder, Su Man Man had sampled countless rare and exotic spiritual fruits and brews. However, after tasting the unique combination of the Flaming Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit that Lu Xuan had brewed, and the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice nurtured by the Drunk Immortal Gourd, she was pleasantly surprised.

“Sister Su, this is your Fourth Grade Sword Peacock. I have restored it to its full vitality.”

Lu Xuan handed the Sword Peacock to the cold female cultivator.

Su Man Man received the flying sword, brushing her hand over every part of it. With a move of her thoughts, the sword buzzed. It transformed like a peacock displaying its tail, instantly breaking into hundreds of sharp Sword Lights.

Countless sword lights danced and formed various combinations, generating various sword intents. A primitive form of sword array faintly appeared.

Indeed, as Junior Brother Lu said, the Sword Peacock has completely returned to normal.”

Feeling the countless sword light’s long-lost fluidity and naturality, Su Man Man joyously said.

With a move of her spiritual sense, hundreds of sword lights instantly converged, mimicking a peacock closing its fan, the dazzling sword intent retracting, transforming into a simple flying sword.

“I really have to thank Junior Brother Lu this time, you’ve spent a lot of effort and energy to restore my Sword Peacock to its original state.”

Here are three thousand spirit stones, as a reward for you curing my Sword

Peacock, I hope you won’t find it too little.”

Su Man Man solemnly said, with a hefty sack appearing in her hand.

“Sister Su is too polite. After receiving your Azure Cloud Order, it was only right for me to remove the contamination from your flying sword.”

Hearing Su Man Man offering three thousand spirit stones as a reward, Lu Xuan subconsciously felt moved.

Three thousand spirit stones, that’s nearly enough to exchange for a brand new fourth-grade flying sword!

He felt the extravagant generosity of the daughter of a Core Formation Elder. However, his main intention was to repay Su Man Man for her gift. So, he had no intention of accepting any reward.

“Junior Brother Lu, don’t refuse. The Azure Cloud order was just a casual gesture on my part. But to cleanse the Sword Peacock’s contamination, I don’t know how much time and energy you spent. This little reward is what you deserve.”

Lu Xuan resolutely declined.

“You really are stubborn, Junior Brother. So, how about we meet halfway.” “I’ll take back the spirit stones and give you something else as compensation.” “When I was roaming the world, although that Evil Dao Cultivator polluted my Sword Peacock, he also died under my sword. I found an odd spiritual seed in his storage bag.”

I asked my fellow disciples and no one knew where this spiritual seed came from. There’s not much use keeping it, so I might as well give it to you.” Su Man Man took out a spiritual seed from her storage bag.

As soon as the spiritual seed appeared, both of them could smell a strong foul odor.

The spiritual seed was the length of a fingertip and looked like the remnant of a demon insect. Inside, it was filled with black gas, seemingly mixed with countless filthy things.

“Alright, then I accept graciously.”

Seeing Su Man Man insisted on giving him a reward, Lu Xuan had no choice but to accept the strange spiritual seed.

Seeing this, the cold female cultivator, satisfied with the Sword Peacock, left. When she completely disappeared, Lu Xuan looked at the odd spiritual seed in his hand, grew curious, and went to the spirit field.

Planted it, gathered his mental energy…

An idea emerged.

[Filthy Bug Grass, a fourth-grade spirit plant, it needs to absorb all kinds of filthy energy and waste during its growth, and turn it into its own, with a very strong pollutant nature. If you stay with it for a long time, your eyes and spirit will gradually be invaded and polluted.]

[When it matures, it can be used to refine some particularly vicious magic items or practice some evil techniques..]
