You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 678: Tree Mother's Invitation

“Green Mountain Scale, a Sixth Grade Beast, contains the diluted lineage of the ancient exotic beast Kylin. It possesses immense strength and gradually masters the divine skills native to the Kylin clan during its growth.”

“Due to an accident during the mother beast’s pregnancy, the life essence condensed and sealed the embryo, cutting it off from the outside world and plunging it into dormancy. A large amount of lively treasures must be infused into the embryo to awaken the young beast’s vitality and consciousness.”

“It’s not actually a stillbirth, but rather in a state similar to hibernation to maintain vitality. It requires a large amount of lively treasures to awaken it.”

Lu Xuan felt a surge of joy in his heart, yet maintained a calm demeanor.

“I didn’t expect to come here and not stumble upon any Spirit Plants, but to unexpectedly discover this sixth-grade beast embryo.”

Once again, he witnessed the power of that ability to understand in detail the special capabilities of Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts.

“The difference between a living and a dead strange species of sixth grade, if you think of trading a fifth-grade Earth Spirit Doll for a living sixth-grade young beast, no one would entertain such an offer if you mentioned it.”

“Once it is awakened and nurtured to maturity, it will be a great asset, and the gain will be much more compared to the cost.”

“Not to mention the substantial light cluster rewards that will follow, which would result in a huge profit.”

“As for the massive amount of lively treasures, I have Qingmu Origin Energy within me and currently still have a large number of Nascent Soul Grass Orbs. Since the light cluster reward is an unexpected gain, considering it as initial cost, it’s almost no different from getting it for free.”

Thinking this, Lu Xuan had no other alternatives.

“Wang Fellow Daoist, the embryo is still normal. Using it to nurture Spirit Beasts should be no problem. I will exchange it with you right now.”

“Thank you, Friend Lu.”

Delight appeared on Wang Suihuai’s face. The embryo had not hatched for many years, and he had given up hope. Using it just to nurture spirit beasts seemed a waste, so acquiring the special fifth-grade puppet from Lu Xuan already left him completely satisfied.

After the small meeting concluded, some Jindan Cultivators left one after another, but most still stayed in the Cave Abode to exchange insights on cultivation, refining instruments, and alchemy, among other aspects.

During this time, some cultivators even went so far as to spar in Sword Dao and Formula Methods. Lu Xuan always quietly stayed in the corner. If invited, he would politely decline.

He would only speak up when discussing Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts and alchemy experiences, further confirming the rumors that he specialized in Spirit Plants and practiced alchemy on the side.

After the exchanges ended, he walked with Hermit Yu Lin through some safe areas of the Green Wood Star Cave, experiencing various strange scenes.

“This trip to Green Wood Star Cave was quite fruitful, securing the sixth grade strange spirit seed Colorful Corpse skin, and also that sleeping sixth grade Green Mountain Scale Embryo.”

Inside the giant tree, he moved through it as agile as a fish, mentally tallying his gains.

Just then, he noticed several streams of spiritual light trailing around him, persistently following him. Even though Lu Xuan increased his speed, they remained not far behind him.

“It turns out to be those Little Tree Maidens.”

Immediately, Lu Xuan became alert. With spiritual energy covering the surface of his eyes, under the effect of the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, he immediately recognized the origin of the spiritual light.

Although he did not know why they were following him, as a Spirit Plant Master, Lu Xuan naturally had a fondness for these plant spirits and stopped to quietly observe the direction where the tree maidens were located.

Amid light laughter, several two to three foot tall Little Tree Maidens emerged, with delicate and enticing faces fixated on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan’s lips curved upward, with wisps of Qingmu Origin Energy flowing from his fingertips.

The moment they saw the Qingmu Origin Energy, the eyes of the tree maidens brightened instantly; they shrank in size and unabashedly flew in front of Lu Xuan’s fingers, sucking on the Qingmu Origin Energy.

After feeding, the several tree maidens clung tightly to Lu Xuan’s body, occasionally emitting melodious and pleasant chirping sounds, talking about something unknown.

Lu Xuan focused his mind on them and immediately understood.

“Do you want to invite me to visit your nest?”

He softly asked the slightly larger tree maiden leading the group.

On hearing these words from Lu Xuan, the little green spirit hurriedly nodded.

Lu Xuan hesitated briefly before nodding in agreement; he was quite confident about these tree maidens, considering they were just little spirits with gentle nature, not very powerful.

Moreover, after feeding them Qingmu Origin Energy, he could feel their genuine affection for him, so he was not worried that they would harm him.

“Lead the way then,”

he said with a smile to the lead tree maiden.
