You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 857: Red Flaming Pear

Evil demons invaded, and a sense of anxiety and unrest pervaded the entire Heavenly Star Cave.

Many cultivators Lu Xuan knew were either in closed-door cultivation, working hard to improve their cultivation levels, or they were exploring secret lands in search of fortuitous treasure items, hoping to have more self-protection before the chaotic times arrived.

Staying in the cave abode all the time, living a leisurely farming life, Lu Xuan seemed to be somewhat unconventional.

“There’s no helping it, with the Light Cluster, one can do as one pleases.”

Lu Xuan Laughed and said.

The cultivators he invited were all too busy to come, but Wen Qian, who had stayed in the Star Plucking Building shop, suddenly came looking for him.

...

“Senior, in the past few days, I have gathered several high rank spirit seeds, and I would like to ask you to take a look.”

Wen Qian held back the excitement in his heart and spoke to Lu Xuan with great respect.

In his hands, Wen Qian held three fiery red spirit seeds.

Inside the spirit seeds, it seemed as if tiny red sparks were twinkling faintly, causing the flame patterns on the surface of the seeds to gravitate towards the sparks.

“Oh? How did you come by them?”

Lu Xuan asked, looking at the spirit seeds in his hands, a smile appearing on his face.

“I heard in the Star Plucking Building that a Golden Core Real Person was selling these spirit seeds.”

“After asking in detail, I learned that they came from a Fairy Cultivate Family that has been cultivating spiritual plants for generations. Unfortunately, the family was increasingly in decline and had to sell some treasures to sustain their cultivation, including these three Fifth Grade Flaming Red Pear Spirit Seeds.”

“I confirmed the species and the vitality within the spirit seeds, and after finding no issues, I bought them privately.”

Wen Qian explained in detail.

“You’ve done well.”

Lu Xuan showed a look of appreciation.

He had not expected that Wen Qian, whom he had long ago taught to study the knowledge of cultivating spiritual plants, would now bear fruit.

With his increasingly profound mastery in spirit plant cultivation, he had found these three Fifth Rank spiritual seeds for him.

“To be able to serve Senior is my greatest honor!”

Wen Qian quickly expressed his stance.

“After you return, go find that Golden Core Real Person to see if they are still in the Star Plucking Building, and inquire in my name if they have any Method of Seed Condensation for sale; the price will not disappoint them.”

Before Wen Qian left, Lu Xuan gave him a few special instructions.

“I didn’t expect to have another channel for obtaining spiritual seeds.”

“Although the current probability of obtaining high-grade spirit seeds is extremely small, what’s better about this channel is that Wen Qian, in a sense, is representing me. He is more trusted and won’t have any ulterior motives.” RἈΝȱ฿ÊS

“Friend Lu, Friend Lu, this old man has finally left his retreat. Prepare the Upper Class Spirit Brew quickly,”

a booming voice came from outside the Cave Abode.

“Has Taoist friend Mu concluded his closed-door cultivation?”

Lu Xuan’s lips curled upwards as he transformed into a streak of light, appearing outside the Cave Abode.

“Taoist friend Mu, we agreed to eat meat and drink together, to revel to our hearts’ content. Why did you secretly enter into ascetic cultivation?”

He invited the towering elder into the Cave Abode while chuckling.

Wood Daoren, because of his advanced age during his breakthrough to the Jindan Stage, had largely given up hope on progression in cultivation. Similar to Lu Xuan in some ways, he devoted himself entirely to collecting all kinds of strange objects.

With such a tease from Lu Xuan, the elder’s expression remained composed, unchanging.

“Had no choice, I was driven to it by the state of the world.”

“I would have liked to collect all sorts of Treasure Items every day, but my power didn’t allow for it.”

“The Evil Demons are becoming increasingly rampant, and even staying inside the Star Plucking Building doesn’t feel secure.”

“So I made up my mind to enter retreat for several years, to refine a family-inherited Divine Skill, hoping to boost my strength slightly, lest I be unable to retaliate when facing an Evil Demon.”

Wood Daoren explained to Lu Xuan.

“It seems the progress has been quite decent. I will need your continued care in the future,”

sensing the increasingly powerful aura within him, Lu Xuan spoke with utmost politeness.

“Well said, well said, I did enhance my cultivation a bit. However, you don’t have to worry too much, Friend Lu. Given your mastery in cultivating Spiritual Plants, the Commerce Association will try to keep you out of harm’s way as much as possible,”

Wood Daoren spoke in a deep voice.

“That’s beyond what Lu Mou can control.”

“What Lu Mou can do is stay within the Cave Abode, focusing on cultivating Spiritual Plants. Should an Evil Demon bypass the Heavenly Star Cave and the Commerce Association to come knocking...”

“Then I can only rely on this modest strength and the sparse Treasure Items, to fight a desperate battle against the Evil Demon.”

Lu Xuan’s expression betrayed a hint of helplessness, seemingly thinking about his potential fate if he encountered an Evil Demon, and he let out a soft sigh.

“Haha, Friend Lu, you’re thinking too far ahead. Come, let’s have a good drink,”

“Don’t think about anything else. If there’s wine now, let’s be drunk now!”

“Good, to celebrate your emergence from seclusion and your significant leap in cultivation!”

Lu Xuan Laughed.
