Chapter 596: It’s Impossible to Work Part-Time
Chapter 596 – Part-time Work is Impossible Part-time Work
“Senior is being overly complimentary, junior doesn’t dare to take it.”
Lu Xuan hurriedly got up and said.
“It’s just that after I came into contact with cultivation, I became extremely interested in cultivating spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts, and I even deserted cultivation because of it.”
“In order to learn more about spiritual plants, I tried to find ways to collect all kinds of rare books, then cultivated numerous spiritual plants and raised quite a few spiritual beasts, combining theory and practice before figuring out a great deal of experience.”
Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.
“Haha, with this kind of effort, it’s no wonder that you have such a superb skill in Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts, Little Friend Lu.”
Qi Wuheng laughed aloud, while Lei Zheng on the side looked at Lu Xuan with a few moments of admiration in his eyes.
The reason why the vast majority of cultivators practiced cultivation was to make themselves stronger and catch a glimpse of the possibility of the Great Dao.
During the process of cultivation, they might acquire one or several cultivation techniques, but only for the sake of their own cultivation, and very few cultivators originated from love.
“By the way, Little Friend Lu, today you solved a major problem for me, Mister Qi should be grateful to you.”
“I wonder what Little Friend Lu wants as a reward? Spirit stones? Pills? A magic weapon? Feel free to say, I still have some treasures suitable for late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.”
Lu Xuan smiled without saying anything.
“If you really want to compare treasures, perhaps you don’t have as many fifth and sixth grade treasures on you as I do.”
He secretly spat out a sentence in his heart, but his words were not on his lips.
“Senior doesn’t have to be so polite, it’s just a matter of raising your hand.”
“That’s how it should be, otherwise if a cultivator helped me out and I didn’t show any sign, it would be a loss of face if it got out.”
Qi Wuheng’s face sank as he said solemnly.
“How about this, I don’t want the reward for the time being, if there is a high grade spirit species in senior’s hands you can prioritize selling it to me, or if there is news of a high grade spirit species you can also inform the late generation.”
It was unlikely that this Star Envoy in front of him would reward himself with a fifth-grade treasure for such a trivial matter, but Lu Xuan had little interest in Foundation Establishment realm pills and magic weapons, so he took a compromise.
It was believed that with Qi Wuheng’s mid JieDan realm and the identity of the Thunderfire Star Cave Star Envoy, it shouldn’t be too difficult to get news of the high-grade spirit species.
“High-ranked Spirit Seeds, I currently don’t have any in my hands, if I did, I would prioritize you, Little Friend Lu.”
“If I obtain news of the Spirit Seed, I will likewise inform a you at the first opportunity.”
Qi Wuheng promised Lu Xuan.
“Many thanks, senior!”
Lu Xuan was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the elegant cultivator.
Spirit plants could be worth an unknown amount more to him than ordinary treasures, and being able to have a mid JieDan Realist promise that he would be able to get a high-grade spirit plant in the future raised his hopes by quite a bit.
“Little friend Lu is indeed a pure to the core Spirit Plant Master.”
Qi Wuheng nodded and praised.
He didn’t expect Lu Xuan to actually take the initiative to refuse a JieDan cultivator’s gift of treasures just for the slightest possibility of obtaining a high-grade Spirit Seed.
A coy smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face as he sniffed.
After the three of them chatted for a moment, Qi Wuheng suddenly remembered something and turned his head to Lu Xuan:
“Little friend Lu, the rest of the Star Cave has a Star Envoy with a pre-JieDan cultivation, who has planted quite a few Spirit Plants, and has always wanted to hire an experienced Spirit Planter to cultivate Spirit Plants on his behalf, I wonder if you’re interested in doing so?”
“Is it to go to that senior’s cave and help take care of the spirit plants?”
Lu Xuan asked suspiciously.
“That’s right, not within the Thunderflame Star Cave, your level of Beast Sentry is already so outstanding, I think your attainments in Spirit Plants are a few steps better, so you are completely capable of doing it.”
Lu Xuan pondered for a while and looked up:
“I’m sorry, Elder Qi, I still have a large number of Spirit Plants planted inside my cave, and I need to frequently perform basic cultivation techniques, as well as fulfill other weird and tricky requirements, so I’m afraid that it would not be conducive to their growth if I were to be outside for a long period of time, and thus, I don’t have that idea for the time being.” He quickly came to a decision.
In the past, if he was able to cultivate spirit plants on behalf of a JieDan real person, he might gladly accept it at the first opportunity, but now, he would have to weigh it up more.
When he first joined the sect, in order to earn sword seals in exchange for spirit seeds, he accepted a lot of cultivation of spirit plants, raising spirit beasts, but as his cultivation became more and more skillful, and his status within the sect became higher and higher, he changed the way of generation of seeds.
From the beginning of receiving tasks and going to the same clan’s cave or the clan’s medicinal garden, it was changed to the Dan Hall Sword Hall, true disciple JieDan real people taking the initiative to entrust him to cultivate spiritual plants.
If he went to the cave of that JieDan real person to help cultivate spiritual plants, it can be expected that the cultivation of at least third-grade, fourth-grade, or even fifth-grade spiritual plants, the cultivation cycle is long, and it can easily take several years, or even ten years, and there is no light cluster reward after maturity, so he can only get basic rewards.
But spending a lot of time and only getting that little reward, that would not be very cost-effective for him at the moment.
“It’s impossible to work part-time anymore, if you really want me to cultivate spirit plants on your behalf, then send the spirit seeds over.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
Only then would he be able to get rewarded for cultivating spirit plants while opening up all sorts of mysterious and unknown rewards in the form of light clusters.
“Senior or the rest of the Star Envoy Lords, if they have obtained any strange high-grade Spirit Seeds and don’t know the cultivation method, they can bring them over for my juniors to try and cultivate them.”
Lu Xuan said under his breath.
He wasn’t afraid of revealing his Spirit Planting talent in the Liyang Realm, after all, this talent wasn’t a threat to most cultivators and couldn’t harm them, instead, it would bring no small benefit to himself.
“Good, I will keep an eye out for you, Little Friend Lu.”
Qi Wuheng nodded in response.
Lu Xuan and Lei Zheng both saw that it was getting late, so they got up to say goodbye.
“Fellow Daoist Lu’s talent for spiritual plants and beasts makes me admire him.”
On the way back to the cave, Lei Zheng and the fat bird flew side by side high in the sky and transmitted their voices to Lu Xuan.
“Sideways paths that delay cultivation are no match for Fellow Daoist Lei’s painstaking cultivation.”
The gale was fierce, Lu Xuan stood on the fat bird’s broad back, his sleeves fluttering, and he said back in a very dashing manner.
“To have a Star Envoy in the middle stage of JieDan appreciate you so much, that’s worth years of hard cultivation.”
A trace of envy, if any, flashed in Lei Zheng’s eyes.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, according to what you said before, it seems that we can find you to cultivate spirit plants on our behalf?”
He said immediately afterward.
“That’s right, if Fellow Daoist Lei has any high-grade spirit plants in his hands, he can let me cultivate them on his behalf without rushing out.”
“The higher the grade and the rarer the variety, the better, and it will better satisfy my curiosity.”
“You and I are such good friends that after successful cultivation, we can even get a discount.”
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face as he transmitted his voice towards Lei Zheng.
“Good, if you have the chance, come over and ask fellow Daoist to cultivate it on your behalf.”
“Fellow Daoist Lu, this is goodbye, I’ll see you again.”
A few flickers flashed in Lei Zheng’s eyes as he arched his hand towards Lu Xuan, the thunder feather wings on his back flapped out a trail of residual shadows and disappeared in a burst of sound.
“Looks like there’s something.”
“It’s better to obediently send it over, low cost, excellent quality spirit plants, where can you find such a high quality spirit planter?”
Lu Xuan looked in the direction he disappeared in, a meaningful smile surfaced on his face.
