I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Beast Spirit Pill l

The next morning, Lu Xuan, who had obtained the Spirit Seed Condensing Method, woke up feeling refreshed and in high spirits.

His mood only improved after taking a stroll in his Spirit Field.

In the area where the Blood Jade Ginseng was planted, he noticed that the progress bars for four of the plants were full, signifying they had reached full maturity.

Among the four Blood Jade Ginsengs, two were of “Good Quality” and the other two were of “Superior Quality”.

Given that Blood Jade Ginseng is a First Grade Spirit Plant that requires higher cultivation difficulty and purity of spiritual energy compared to Spirit Firefly Grass, the probability of getting one of “Perfect Grade” would be much lower. Therefore, Lu Xuan didn’t feel disappointed at all.

After harvesting the Blood Jade Ginseng, four faintly glowing white light clusters naturally appeared in their original planting locations.

Lu Xuan picked up these white light clusters one by one.

[Harvested one Blood Jade Ginseng, obtained one Second Grade Elixir, Blood Essence Pill.]*2

Two thoughts flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.

Immediately afterward, two round elixirs emitting a strong smell of blood appeared in his hands.

With the addition of the four from before, Lu Xuan had now obtained a total of six Second Grade Blood Essence Pills.

As expected, the other two “Superior Quality” Blood Jade Ginsengs yielded the Second-Class Technique of Blood Burning Arrow.

[Harvested one Blood Jade Ginseng, obtained Second-Class Technique of Blood Burning Arrow. ] *2

As the thoughts flashed through his mind, a wealth of knowledge about the Blood Burning Arrow secret technique suddenly surfaced in his head.

The knowledge from two similar secret technique experience packages improved his proficiency of the technique to a master level, as if he had used this technique in hundreds of life-and-death fights against other cultivators.

His understanding of the many details of the Blood Burning Arrow was even more profound. Although he had never actually used it, he felt confident he could use it with ease.

Although he had obtained the method for condensing the Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seed, Lu Xuan had not yet fully assimilated it. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to condense the seeds. He planned to leave the last two Blood Jade Ginseng unharvested when they mature, and then set about condensing the Spirit Seed.

He separated the remaining nine entangled Blood Jade Ginseng, and then inspected the other Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field.

The 120 plants of Lingying grass, which he had carefully cultivated over this period, were flourishing. The sight of their thin, long, and glowing leaves combined with their vibrant colors was pleasing to the eye.

“Once the first batch of Spirit Firefly Grass matures, and I absorb a few light clusters that come with cultivation rewards, combined with my diligent practice these days, I should be able to break through to the Qi Cultivating Seventh Layer soon,” Lu Xuan figured without feeling embarrassed.

Without the Spirit Firefly Grass, his cultivation seemed to have stalled and had made no progress at all. Despite being a step away from the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, he had been unable to breach this barrier.

After inspecting all the Spirit Plants in the field, Yu Jie, the boy with the squinted eyes, returned with a bottle of Azure Water Python Blood, which was still warm.

Lu Xuan paid Yu Jie ten Spirit Stones and warned him to be careful. The boy gratefully flashed his sharp teeth in a smile.

After the boy left, Lu Xuan went to the area in the Spirit Field where the Flood Dragon Vine was planted. He opened the bottle, and a combination of red and green color, representing the blood of the Azure Water Python, poured out onto the creeping vines of the Flood Dragon Vine.

Red and green patterns appeared on the vine, and against the backdrop of the deep black vines, it looked eerily charming.

The vine was winding and curving, looking intricate and powerful. Its gradual movement resembled that of an eerie black snake coiled in the mist waiting for its prey.

After the nourishment of the previous Azure Water Python Blood, the Flood Dragon Vine had grown about two inches longer. The newly grown area was slightly tender, making it look somewhat inconsistent with the rest of the vine.

After tending to the Flood Dragon Vine, Lu Xuan came to the edge of the Spiritual Spring Pool with the intention of scooping some Spirit Spring Water to irrigate the three Second Grade Qingmiao Spirit Tea plants.

As he approached, he noticed a white light cluster floating up and down with the water in the Spiritual Spring Pool.

“Rise…”

He had only said the word ‘start¹, and the Cloud Leopard playing around by the edge of the Spiritual Spring Pool immediately pulled out the remaining two Red-bearded Carp.

“You seem rather quick on the uptake, couldn’t wait to eat fish could you?”

With a startle by its action, Lu Xuan shot out the Red Threaded Needle from his sleeve, piercing the head of the mature Red-bearded Carp and bringing it to the kitchen.

The remaining Red-bearded Carp, terrified, fell into the Spiritual Spring Pool, creating a large splash. The ripples caused the Pure Snow Lotus in the center of the pool to tremble.

The white bud enclosed within the snow-white lotus leaves silently opened up a little, faintly revealing the layer upon layer of tender white petals inside.

The two elongated red whiskers of the carp trembled anxiously in the Spiritual Spring Pool as it tried to squeeze its plump body behind the Pure Snow Lotus.

Lu Xuan scooped out the white light cluster from the water. The light cluster transformed into countless tiny light spots and surged into his body.

[Harvested one Red-bearded Carp, obtained one Second Grade Elixir, Beast Spirit Pill.]

Subsequently, a thought flashed through his mind, and a gray-black elixir appeared in his hand.

[Beast Spirit Pill, Second-Grade Elixir, refined from a variety of low-level spirit grass and spiritual medicine, most of which are loved by all kinds of demon beasts. It contains rich Spiritual Energy, which can be used to feed Spirit Beasts, promoting their growth.]

“A pill specifically for Spirit Beasts? Looks like it will be more beneficial for you, you little guy.”

Lu Xuan glanced at the Cloud Leopard, which was swaying its stubby tail on its way to the kitchen, and sighed.

He first stowed the Beast Spirit Pill, then went to the kitchen, removed the long whiskers and scales from the Red-bearded Carp, cleaned it up, and cooked a plate of braised Red-bearded Carp.

It was still incredibly delicious.

“Last time it was boiled, this time it’s braised, next time I can try steaming it. Three different methods, and exactly three Red-bearded Carp, fulfilling the beautiful dreams of the stomach.”

Lu Xuan feasted, lamenting in his mind.

“Come here, I have a little snack for you.”

He called the Cloud Leopard over and stuffed the Beast Spirit Pill into its mouth.

Shortly after taking it, the Cloud Leopard’s aura suddenly surged, its body size increased, its fur became even more black and lustrous, and the four clouds under its paws were pure white and flawless.

Lu Xuan checked it out and found that the Cloud Leopard’s speed had slightly increased from before. At the same time, the claws hidden in its thick paws had become even sharper, easily leaving deep marks on the stone wall.

“Roar-”

Perceiving its increased power, the Cloud Leopard couldn’t suppress the joy in its heart and roared at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan perceptively realized that the roar of the Cloud Leopard was more rough and hoarse than before, which didn’t match the high aesthetics of the Cloud Leopard.

“Great roar, don’t make that noise next time.”

Lu Xuan helplessly said to the Cloud Leopard.

“Roar—”

The Cloud Leopard tried to make a sound, seeming to prove to Lu Xuan that its roar was not unpleasant.

“Hahaha!”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh and pinch the gray white hair on the tip of the Cloud Leopard’s ear upon hearing its meticulously contrived and affected roar.

The Cloud Leopard lifted its head, its pair of clear green pupils coldly swept across Lu Xuan’s face, before walking straight to the edge of the Spiritual Spring Pool and staring indifferently at the only remaining Red-bearded Carp in the pool.

The gray-white hair on the tip of its ear kept trembling slightly. Even without Lu Xuan focusing his senses on it, he could see the exhilaration in its heart..
