You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 687: Phoenix Crying

“`

The thought vanished, and a strangely shaped ancient book appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.

The cover of the ancient book was a riot of colors, seemingly made from the tanned skin of some creature, giving off a slippery sensation where it touched Lu Xuan’s skin.

All kinds of bright colors were mixed together, constantly shifting, making one feel dizzy and uncomfortable if they looked closely and concentrated.

His mind focused on it, and he immediately learned the detailed information about the ancient book.

“Disaster Poison Scripture”, a six-product treasure, created by a Spirit Plant Master from the Sect of Evil Infants who was proficient in using poisons.]

[The scripture records detailed information about millions of poisons, antidotes, and several secret techniques related to poison, as well as the method for crafting a virulent magic treasure.]

“I seem to be trending more towards the unorthodox and even sinister paths, which conflicts with my kind-hearted Spirit Plant Master persona...”

Lu Xuan sighed and opened the colorful ancient book.

A quick scan revealed that the book was filled with detailed information about various poisonous insects, beasts, and gases, with corresponding solutions to break their effects listed beneath each one.

“Unfortunately, it’s only the upper part and lacks the mentioned techniques for controlling poisons and the crafting method for the magic treasure.”

“However, it can still enrich my experience and might even help me in cultivating poison-related Spirit Plants in the future.”

“In addition, it can serve as a cookbook for the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect, and the antidotes within can save me a lot of effort.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself as he watched the significantly changed Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect on the ground.

The lower part of the “Disaster Poison Scripture” will likely require this insect to break through to fifth rank before it can be obtained.

As a fourth-grade creature, it was already quite an achievement for the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect to grow to its full form; to break through its own limits and become a fifth-grade poisonous insect, it must be fed a large amount of fourth-grade poisons or even fifth-grade poisons.

“There is no need to rush; after all, there isn’t much in the cave abode, but there are still plenty of treasures.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself, allowing the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect to return to the yard.

After nearly half a month of staying in the cave abode, Xuann Yuanzhe came to visit one day.

“Fellow Xuann Yuan, welcome, welcome.”

Lu Xuan sensed the familiar aura outside his cave abode and immediately welcomed the young man inside.

Among the Core Formation cultivators in the Thunderfire Star Cave, he had a fairly good relationship with this person; the two had returned from the Blackwater Star Cave together and had also gone to the Green Wood Star Cave together.

“I’ve been craving something tasty and thought to use some of your Spirit Brew to satisfy the craving. I even brought along some Demon Beast meat to accompany the drink,” the young man said with a smile, placing a piece of fourth-grade Demon Beast Meat on the ground before Lu Xuan.

“Fellow Xuann Yuan, you don’t need to be so polite. If you find the Spirit Brew to your liking, just come over directly,” Lu Xuan said as he immediately served the Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew and went to prepare the Demon Beast Meat.

Lu Xuan took in a breath of cold air, his acting fully emerging, with an expression as if he was completely uninvolved in the matter.

“Indeed, according to the conjecture of a Golden Core Real Person who entered Fellow Huang’s Cave Abode, it’s very likely that the culprit has a Golden Core Mid-stage Cultivation.”

Lu Xuan nodded thoughtfully.

“Is there a chance that this is related to the previous Tribulation Cultivators? I remember a number of Cultivators died at their hands.”

“It’s possible, but then again, the ones who died initially were mostly Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The notion that Jindan Cultivators would fall silently and unexpectedly is somewhat inconceivable.”

The youth, believing his strength to be not inferior to that lean old man, wore an expression that betrayed his concern upon considering the other’s possible fate.

“The world is indeed a dangerous place. Staying well within one’s Cave Abode, one may still become the target of some malefactor.”

Lu Xuan said with double meaning.

“True, but Friend Lu doesn’t have to worry. The silent and unnoticed deaths of Early Core Formation stage Cultivators will certainly not be overlooked by the inspectors of the Heavenly Star Cave, and naturally, they will not suspect you or me,”

Xuann Yuanzhe said self-mockingly.

Lu Xuan nodded eagerly in agreement.

He wore the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe, a Treasure Item, which assured him that others would not be able to divine his fate and locate him. Furthermore, being an Early Core Formation stage Loose Cultivator, whose life or death was uncertain, he did not qualify to prompt a Primordial Infant True Monarch to use Divine Skills to search for the Cultivator behind the scenes.

“However, this visit from Xuann Yuanzhe reminds me that I must properly conceal the Chi Wood that came from Huang Yandong,”

“Chi Wood feeds on Flesh and Blood, and Huang Yandong most likely wouldn’t let other Cultivators know of their existence. Still, I must be careful, just in case.”

His Cave Abode was protected by a powerful Formation Restriction. As long as he kept a low profile, it would be difficult for others to discover the existence of Chi Wood.

The two moved past this issue and continued to discuss the latest significant events in the Cultivation World, as well as insights into cultivation.

After a satisfying meal and drink, Xuann Yuanzhe bade farewell to Lu Xuan.

“Fellow Xuann Yuan, you’re welcome to visit again.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“Haha, Friend Lu, you’re so straightforward! See you next time!”

Xuann Yuanzhe laughed heartily, turning into a streak of light that vanished into the sky.

Lu Xuan returned to the Cave Abode, inspecting every Spirit Plant in the Spirit Field. As he was sprinkling Spirit Rain, suddenly, a clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded within the Cave Abode.

The sound was uplifting and clear, striking directly into the depths of the soul.
