Chapter 103: Skipping Classes and Farming
Chapter 103 – Skipping Classes to Plant a Field
After releasing the Cloud Stepping Lynx, Grass Puppet, and the Iron Cheetah Crab, Lu Xuan hurriedly took out all the Spirit Plants from the Sheng Sheng Bag again.
The Second Grade Clear Myriad Spirit Tea that was directly transplanted out as well as the Copper Bone Bamboo, even though they had been in the Sheng Sheng Bag for more than a month already, they still maintained their vigorous vitality and were not much different from when they were first put in.
As for the third-grade Phantom Smoke Luo Fruit and Jiao Vine, perhaps due to the experience of the two previous transplants, or the weakened effect of the third-grade bag on the same third-grade spiritual plants, the vitality was weaker than when they were put in.
Lu Xuan was heartbroken and hurriedly replanted the Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit and the Jiao Vine into the spiritual field.
“In the past, there was Meng’s mother’s three relocations in order to be able to give her children a great educational environment, and now I am relocating you for the second time so that I can also let you enjoy a pure and rich spiritual qi environment.”
“You guys must understand my good intentions and restore your growth properly.”
Lu Xuan sighed as he watered it with the Spiritual Rain Technique.
The Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit continued to secrete white smoke, which gradually became thicker, hiding the Spirit Fruit within.
Lu Xuan took out another bottle of Aqua Python’s blood and poured the red and green mixed snake blood on the dry vines of the Jiao Vine.
After a period of time without being nourished with snake blood, the Jiao Vine’s appetite became much larger, absorbing twice as much snake blood as usual, until the vines appeared with demonic red and green patterns, before it stopped sucking blood.
Lu Xuan then planted the Clear Myriad Spirit Tea and Copper Bone Bamboo separately.
The copper and iron ore powder in his storage bag was well-prepared thanks to the hard work of the iron chelonian crab, and he sprinkled a circle of copper and iron ore powder around the Copper Bone Bamboo.
He also scooped a cup of faintly chilly well water from inside the ancient well and poured it on the clear marvelous spirit tea.
On the coiled tea tree, the fine green tender leaves were stimulated by the cold well water and gently trembled.
After dealing with these halfway transplanted spiritual plants, Lu Xuan took out the Misty Hidden Maze Formation, his spiritual energy controlling the fog changes on the formation disk, enveloping the entire cave in a dense fog.
With the concealment of the formation, Lu Xuan was no longer worried about any of his fellow disciples prying into the cave mansion.
He deliberately selected this cave, where the peak is not many fellow disciples, only the foot of the mountain has a few courtyards, and the other side of the mountainside has a cave, the owner of the cave may be out of practice, Lu Xuan visit did not see a trace.
Although the Heavenly Sword Sect does not have evil beasts and other invasions, the array seems to be a bit superfluous, but Lu Xuan has always been free and lazy, the spirit field is the basis of his life, the importance of the importance of self-evident, and therefore decided to open the array, in order to prevent the possible existence of prying eyes.
After opening the Misty Concealment Formation, Lu Xuan didn’t rest, combing the remaining spiritual fields with the Ground Leader Technique, taking out two hundred dry and slender Spirit Glow Grass seeds, as well as twenty-eight First Grade Blood Jade Ginseng Seeds, and planting them one by one.
After everything was done, he then had time to rest, sitting at the table and flipping through a manual about the sect.
Inside the manual were the composition of the sect, various special treasures, and the rules and regulations of the sect.
“Big Brother Lu, I came over to look for you!”
Outside the courtyard, a familiar voice came.
It was none other than Baili Jianqing, who had established a certain level of friendship in Sword Gate Town.
Lu Xuan controlled the formation as the mist receded to the sides and opened the courtyard door, and Baili Jianqing immediately flashed in.
The distance between the two caves was less than twenty miles, and for a cultivator at the high level of Qi Practicing, it wouldn’t take much time.
“Brother Lu, Tian Yin Peak will have a late stage Foundation Establishment Senior Uncle coming over to lecture on cultivation techniques later, do you want to go and listen together?”
“It’s said that that senior uncle knows a lot about the various foundation techniques within the sect and has a unique and profound understanding, and when he lectures on cultivation knowledge, he is in-depth and easy to understand, and is extremely popular with many of the outer sect’s senior brothers and sisters.”
Baili Jianqing said with an excited expression.
“I still have some things to do, so I won’t accompany you.”
Lu Xuan planned to make a trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sifu Nong Hall to see which spiritual plants he could grow.
“What about this afternoon? I’ve heard that a Sword Dao Master is coming over to teach drills in swordplay, that Senior Uncle has been pouncing on the path of Sword Dao for a while, and has a high level of understanding of swordplay, and can enlighten people with a single random move.” “If we miss it, we won’t know when the next time will be.”
Baili Jianqing said with a longing expression, it could be seen that he had immense respect for that Sword Dao Master.
Lu Xuan shook his head in rejection.
Baili Jianqing’s eyes swept over and saw the cleaned up and refurbished spirit field, a trace of eccentricity surfaced on his face.
“Big brother Lu, you shouldn’t …… want to stay in the cave and grow spirit plants?”
“There is indeed such an intention.”
Lu Xuan nodded and admitted.
“You have traveled thousands of miles and made thousands of efforts to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect, not to cultivate your techniques, not to hammer your sword skills, and not to have your Foundation Establishment Master Teacher teach you lessons, but just to plant a field?”
Baili Jianqing couldn’t help but hold his forehead, his tone revealing an incomprehensible but deeply shocked meaning.
This was indeed a bit unbelievable for him, in his opinion, Lu Xuan could even be considered fiendish in his treatment of spiritual plants.
How could there be a cultivator who didn’t cultivate or practice sword arts just to cultivate spirit plants?
Lu Xuan let out a light laugh when he saw him looking like this.
“I just have self-knowledge, and am clear that my natural talent is dull, even if I go and listen to my Foundation Establishment Master’s uncle imparting knowledge of cultivation and the essence of the sword dao, it won’t help.”
“You guys only need to listen to it once to understand and comprehend it, while I, on the other hand, need to listen to it ten times or even more to understand and master that knowledge.”
“I only have a few talents in cultivating spiritual plants, since that’s the case, why don’t I build on my strengths and avoid my weaknesses, and focus on cultivating spiritual plants?”
His tone was sincere and his expression was genuine, nicely displaying the identity of an ordinary cultivator who had no hope of practicing cultivation and was counting on the spiritual plants.
“If your natural talent is not as good as others, then listen and practice a few more times than the other fellow disciples, and slowly accumulate, so that you won’t fall behind too much.”
Baili Jianqing offered a suggestion.
“Who wants to be slowly accumulating and still lagging behind? What I want is to bend the road and overtake the others, okay?”
Lu Xuan belabored a sentence, looked at Baili Jianqing, and softly pronounced two words.
“Swordgrass.”
Baili Jianqing’s face instantly changed, his eyes narrowed into thin slits as he piled on a smile and said fawningly.
“If Brother Lu is not willing to go to the lesson, then I won’t force myself, I will endeavor to record a copy and bring it over to you, Brother Lu, when the time comes, you just have to stay in the cave and cultivate the spirit plants properly.”
“Just remember this little bit of hard work of mine when you can cultivate the sword grass.”
After saying that, he left first.
Lu Xuan waited for Baili Jianqing to leave before opening the formation and following the manual, he arrived at a large hall called the Si Nong.
The Si Nong Hall was in charge of the supply and demand, cultivation, and condensation of most of the spiritual plants within the Heavenly Sword Sect, especially those public medicinal gardens and spiritual fields within the sect, which types and grades of spiritual plants to plant, and how many were to be planted, were all decided by the Si Nong Hall.
Most of the tasks about spiritual plants that appeared inside the sect were released by the Sinnon Hall, which was filled with spiritual planters who were good at cultivating spiritual plants.
Lu Xuan had come over to see if he could find a suitable spirit plant to cultivate from the hall.
