I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

The thought vanished, and a dark black classic appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.

The classic was extremely thin, with the cover featuring a pattern of an evil ghost. The ghost's dark green arm held a black chain that seemed to penetrate the paper, distantly binding Lu Xuan's divine soul.

His mind focused on this dark black classic, and he immediately understood the detailed information regarding the "Soul-Seizing Scripture".

["Soul-Seizing Scripture",a sixth-grade cultivation technique, is a top-tier practice of the evil path's Thousand Soul Sect, documenting various secret techniques including soul searching, soul taming, and soul seizing.]

[When casting these secret techniques, one can search for Yin Soul Resentment within a certain area, and with profound cultivation, forcibly seize the souls of "Cultivators" and demon beasts. When facing opponents of higher cultivation realms, forcibly seizing souls may result in backlash.]

"A sixth-grade technique, and another of the evil kind. This is forcing me, a Spirit Plant Master by nature good, onto the evil path."

Lu Xuan looked at the dark black classic in hand, itching to try.

Among the light clusters of the weird spiritual plants, he had already opened several top-grade evil way techniques, including the sixth-grade "Blood God Nerve", "Netherworld True Water Prohibition Law ", and now, this"Soul-Seizing Scripture"of the same rank.

"'Blood God Nerve' is too conspicuous to use for now. I have dabbled a bit in the "Netherworld True Water Prohibition Law ", but progress is slow. This"Soul-Seizing Scripture"could be cultivated in my spare time."

Lu Xuan mused silently.

Odd spiritual plants have an enormous demand for Yin Soul Resentment and the like. He primarily relied on the fourth-grade Soul Lantern to attract some souls or purchase Yin Soul Tools and then released the Yin Souls inside to nurture spiritual plants.

Now with this"Soul-Seizing Scripture"paired with the Soul Lantern, his range for searching Yin Souls expanded by many multiples, and efficiency increased significantly. He did not have to worry about a shortage of Yin Souls in the evil strange spirit field.

Lu Xuan put away the"Soul-Seizing Scripture"and glanced at the Burning Soul Flower again.

The Burning Soul Flower could feed yin entities and spiritual bodies. It could also be used to create dwellings for these beings and served as material for high-rank elixirs related to souls, with widespread uses.

He hadn't decided how to deal with it yet and would see what opportunities arise in the future.

After collecting the Burning Soul Flower, Lu Xuan continued to check the remaining Underworld Spiritual Plants.

The two offshoots of the Holy Infant Fruit Plant had reached maturity, with two thin black infants growing together, sometimes leaning on each other, sometimes frantically devouring one another.

You bite me, and I bite you.

Since they were planted at the same time and cultivated in the same way, the two are evenly matched, biting each other brought nothing but pain.

"The mother plant has been forced to produce several generations and is nearly at its limit. Forcing it to produce spiritual seeds might damage its source. Once the two offshoots mature, I'll use the Holy Baby Fruit to nourish the mother plant back to health."

Lu Xuan looked at the withering mother plant and thought quietly.

The mother plant's special trait had been exploited to the utmost by him, producing several generations of offshoots and reaping several generous light cluster rewards.

Besides the two Holy Baby Fruit Plants, there was another spiritual plant in the evil strange spirit field that had reached maturity.

It was the fifth rank Five Viscera Treasure Plant, with a strange appearance, resembling an evil temple enshrining five kinds of organs fused together indistinguishably.

Lu Xuan took a fresh demon beast's viscera from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, embedding them into the designated zones of the Five Viscera Treasure Plant.

Then, employing the Spirit Rain Technique, he facilitated the spiritual plant's absorption of the Yin Qi in the Underworld Spirit Field, nourished by the demon beast's viscera.

A few days later, a large batch of spiritual plants matured in the cave abode.

Spirit fields were covered with Grade Three Hidden Element Grass. The spirit grass looked very ordinary; at first glance, one could mistake it for some weed that had snuck in from the mountains.

But if one were sensitive to spirit stones, they would discover an extremely rich and pure essence deep within the weed-like spiritual plants.

That was the Grade Three Hidden Element Grass, a primary ingredient in the refining of Foundation Establishment Pills, and also yielded the Nascent Soul Grass Orb, which Lu Xuan had a significant need for from the light clusters.

Lu Xuan mastered the Method of Seed Condensation for this spiritual plant and didn't need to worry about lacking spiritual seeds.

He harvested all the Hidden Element Grass, smiling at the sight of hundreds of white light clusters on the ground.

"Give me a hundred consecutive draws with the light clusters!"

His figure flashed, akin to a dragonfly skimming the water, as he lightly touched the surface of every light cluster at the same time.

In an instant, streams of thoughts flickered through his mind like a lantern parade, one after another.

[Harvested a Primordial Essence Herb, received a Formula for Foundation Establishment Pill Experience Pack.]

[Harvested a Primordial Essence Herb, received a Third-grade magic item, Naling Grass Bead.]

...

All sorts of treasures either appeared directly in front of Lu Xuan or flowed into his sea of consciousness.

Among them, the Naling Grass Beads were the most numerous, with nearly fifty pieces, further expanding Lu Xuan's reserves.

In addition, there were about thirty Foundation Establishment Pills, which weren't of much use to him, but they would have a good market in the grocery store, and accumulated to a significant amount of Spirit Stones.

Then there were about twenty Pill Formula Experience Packs, which elevated his already superb pill refining skills to nearly that of a grandmaster, only a step away.

"To be an Alchemy Master is just so."

Lu Xuan quietly marveled as he absorbed the surging flow of information within his sea of consciousness.

After digesting and absorbing them, he moved to a Spirit Field nearby.

There were still more than ten Primordial Essence Herbs in the Spirit Field, used specifically for condensing spiritual seeds, so he wouldn't harvest the light clusters.

He earnestly followed the method, guiding the vitality and spiritual energy within the Spirit Plant, patiently waiting for the spiritual seeds to form.

"These Ice Firefly Grasses sure are growing quickly."

After condensing the seeds, he passed by a Spirit Field area planted with over a hundred Ice Firefly Grasses.

From a distance, he could feel an extremely cold aura. Approaching closer, he could see a thin layer of frost condensed on the surface of the spirit soil, with the cold air emanating from the slender azure leaves, making the specks of luminescence on the leaves even more dazzling.

"I'm counting on you for my breakthrough to the mid-term of Nascent Soul stage."

Lu Xuan's spirit was focused on these Ice Firefly Grasses, sensing their vigorous vitality and feeling content.

"Hmm, another Primordial Infant True Monarch passed by the cave abode?"

He glanced at the center of his palm, where a gray-white pupil burrowed out from a crack on its own, transmitting back an image.

A sword light, fraught with urgency, flashed by tens of miles away from the cave abode, after which the image vanished.

It was the Void Nightmare Eye, which was loitering near the cave abode, that detected the anomaly and concealed itself on its own.

"Speaking of which, there have been several Primordial Infant True Monarchs passing by the cave abode, heading to that Thunder Jetty Cave Secret Realm."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but remark.

He wasn't greatly interested in that Secret Land that supposedly held immense fortune, merely hearing from other cultivators that the exploration was halfway done with some of the strongest prohibitions yet to be breached. Several cultivators had obtained fortuitous treasure items, and even more had fallen to restrictions, Demon Envoys, and other cultivators.

However, despite the risks to their lives, despite being seen as ants in the eyes of Primordial Infant True Monarchs, there was a swarm of cultivators rushing into the Thunder Sea like moths to a flame.

Lu Xuan, who stayed in his cave abode peacefully farming, seemed out of place compared to them.

"Stepping out from the Secret Land, not involved in treasure contention."

"Being content with farming is enough for me."

Lu Xuan enjoyed his leisurely satisfaction.
