I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 1283: Chapter 1280: Nine-Orifice Ginseng Fruit

“Junior Brother, have a look.”

A glint of cold light swiftly flew by, stopping right in front of Lu Xuan.

It was a thumb-sized jade bottle of mutton fat, whirling around, with the mouth heavily sealed with prohibitions and restrictions.

Hanyu Feng lifted the restrictions, and a burst of white light surged out immediately, filled with spiritual light and vitality, as if it could nourish all things.

Lu Xuan scanned it with his divine sense and understood at once.

“The bottle contains twelve drops of Creation Spirit Dew, which I collected from an endless ice cavern within a mysterious Cave Heaven. I had intended to use it when breaking through a certain divine skill, but never got the chance until now.”

Hanyu Feng’s voice was as cold as a winter ice fountain.

“It is said that this Creation Spirit Dew is formed by diluting the Transcendental Creation Dew, an innate spirit object, many times. It has the effect of nourishing all things, and is especially effective for Spirit Plants, being exceptionally powerful for hastening their maturation. It is most suitable for you, Junior Brother, as a Spirit Plant Master.”

“Twelve drops of Creation Spirit Dew… it’s not a problem to hasten the maturation of two Eighth Grade Spirit Plants.”

Lu Xuan was secretly pleased and determined to obtain this small bottle of Eighth Grade Spiritual Liquid.

“I wonder what Senior Sister Han would like in exchange?”

“A small bottle of Creation Spirit Dew for two Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills, Junior Brother, how about it?”

Hanyu Feng pondered for a moment and then said through a voice transmission.

“Deal.”

“However, Senior Sister, you should know that the effect of the second Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill will be much weaker than the first. Can Senior Sister accept that?”

Lu Xuan said frankly.

The Eighth Grade Creation Spirit Dew is higher in rank than the Seventh Grade Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill, but Hanyu Feng only had a small bottle, its value not determined by the number of drops.

For example, the True Sword Liquid and Green Lotus Wine brewed by Lu Xuan were also sold by the bottle, though all were spiritual liquids.

This small bottle of Creation Spirit Dew was, in normal terms, slightly higher in value than the Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill. If considering that Lu Xuan’s spirit pills came from the Light Cluster rewards, it would be a huge profit for him.

“Junior Brother Lu is indeed honest, but at present, I urgently need extending life spirit objects, so having a second Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill is still good.”

Hanyu Feng’s always cold face revealed a trace of a smile upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, like a snow lotus blooming on a distant ice mountain.

Soon, the jade bottle gently landed in Lu Xuan’s palm.

After confirming it, Lu Xuan re-established the prohibitions and retrieved two Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills, handing them to Hanyu Feng.

“Only two remaining, I have to choose wisely.”

“Of course, if there are unexpected spirit seeds or spiritual liquids, it’s not impossible to take out one or two more Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

With rarity comes value, and taking out five Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills at once was already generous enough; revealing too many might impact their value later, or even attract unnecessary suspicion and doubt.

Soon after, one fellow sect member after another came looking for him.

Among them, many presented Seventh Grade spirit seeds and spiritual liquids, but Lu Xuan’s standards had changed; those Seventh Grade spirit seeds that were rare and precious in the past now seemed unremarkable. He didn’t rush to exchange for those few that seemed decent but merely included them within his consideration.

Additionally, perhaps due to the scarcity of Seventh Grade spirit seeds and spiritual liquids, three fellow sect members even brought out magic treasures and formations to trade with Lu Xuan, but all were declined courteously by him.

“Junior Brother Lu, I’ve long admired your name.”

An elder in rough cloth attire with a haggard face approached Lu Xuan and casually set up a prohibition.

“Junior Brother greets Senior Brother Ling Xiaozi.”

Lu Xuan’s spirits lifted, knowing the elder’s identity was extraordinary—the former Sword Master of Chongxu Sword Peak, who, after stepping down, devoted himself solely to cultivation and was just a step away from Divinity Transformation. It made Lu Xuan particularly expectant.

“Junior Brother Lu, let’s not waste words. This old man has a Ninth Grade spirit seed. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, it has lost more than half its vitality. Would you be willing to exchange it for spirit pills?”

Ling Xiaozi asked with a smile.

“May I take a good look at it first?”

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

“No problem.”

A wondrous spirit seed appeared silently before Lu Xuan, as if it had been refined over endless years, its surface covered with layers of strange patterns forming wrinkles. Beneath these wrinkles, one could faintly see nine small orifices, with nine wisps of pure essence energy breathing in and out, seemingly pulsating with life.

“This old man doesn’t know much about Spirit Plants and doesn’t know the origin of this spirit seed, but judging by its vitality, I estimate it to be Ninth Grade.”

“What do you think, Junior Brother?”

Ling Xiaozi did not hide anything, speaking frankly.

“An unknown spirit seed…”

“I have always been enthusiastic about collecting all kinds of spirit seed information, and with some talent in Spirit Plants, I might be able to roughly deduce the spirit plant type.”

Lu Xuan spoke half-truths.

As for the loss of vitality, it was not much of a problem for him; the Ten Thousand Wood Spring Seal divine skill he mastered could easily solve this issue.

He reached out to receive the spirit seed, and a small pile of spirit soil appeared out of thin air, gently enveloping the spirit seed.

His mind settled on the spirit seed, immediately learning its detailed information.

[Nine Aperture Ginseng Fruit, a Ninth Grade Spirit Plant, is said to have been transplanted from a section of an innate spirit root, needing to absorb endless essence of the sun and moon during its maturation. After maturing, it bears fruit once every millennium. Consuming the spirit fruit can wash the divine soul and reshape the flesh body, thereby granting the cultivator a supreme Taoist body.]

[Vitality has been greatly depleted, needs to be nourished steadily by corresponding divine skills and treasures to recover.]

“Nine Aperture Ginseng Fruit! Indeed a Ninth Grade Spirit Plant!”

Lu Xuan kept his expression unchanged but cried out in surprise within.

“Bearing fruit once every millennium, which means that as long as there is enough hastening liquid and treasures, I can continuously harvest rich rewards from the Light Cluster.”

“Senior Brother Ling Xiaozi, I am interested in this spirit seed, but due to its unknown nature, the high difficulty of cultivation, and the lost vitality, the success of planting it remains uncertain.”

“How about exchanging it for three Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills?”

Lu Xuan transmitted his voice, for the Ninth Grade spirit seed, the extra Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill was nothing at all.

“Agreed.”

Ling Xiaozi nodded lightly.

“Consider it that I owe you a favor.”

He knew Lu Xuan was absolutely correct, and getting three Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills was an unexpected joy, leaving him satisfied.

Lu Xuan handed over the three Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills, and they mutually promised not to disclose the exchange to outsiders.

Once Ling Xiaozi removed the prohibition, Lu Xuan moved swiftly to the center of the great hall.

“Fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters, five Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills have already been exchanged. I apologize to those who couldn’t get any Spirit Pills.”

“Junior Brother Lu, hurry up with Alchemy! In the future, if we find spirit seeds or spiritual liquids you like, can we still come to you for an exchange?”

Some fellow sect members urged from below.

“Rest assured, Senior Brother. I will strive to refine more Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills. However, the essence of the Spirit Turtle and Spirit Crane at the Seventh Grade level is not easy to find, and the difficulty of refining is also high. I ask for the patience of all fellow sect members.”

Lu Xuan said earnestly.

He intended to benefit the older fellow sect members, but not strictly within the Dongxuan Sword Sect. If cultivators from other sects had rare spirit seeds or spiritual liquids, he would also consider exchanging Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills.

Of course, his fellow sect members had priority, a point he didn’t stress too rigidly.

Everyone understood the difficulty of refining Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pills and couldn’t push too hard, so they left disappointedly.
