I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Upon entering the depths of the Void, Lu Xuan gazed at the chaos ahead, stowed away his Flying Sword, and spread his Scolding Thunder Wings below his ribs, dashing back to the Incomplete Cave Heaven like a bolt of lightning.

His mind was on the many Spiritual Plants about to mature in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave. He didn't stay long in the Cave Heaven and, following the original route, rushed to the location of the Liyang Region.

The Incomplete Cave Heaven was located deep in the Void and was extremely hidden. Coupled with fog that acted like natural prohibitions and restrictions along with the protection of five Star Battle Flags, there were no safety issues.

"Finally back to the Cave Abode."

The journey was smooth without any encounters with spatial storms. The occasional Star Sky Monster Beast that didn't see the way also fell easily to Lu Xuan, all becoming fertilizer for the Weird Spiritual Plants.

As soon as he entered the Cave Abode, a chorus of cooing reached his ears, and a dozen Little Tree Maidens emerged from all directions, fluttering around Lu Xuan continuously.

Then, Fat Bird, accompanied by the Thunder Dragon Behemoth and Green Mountain Scale, also flew in front of Lu Xuan, with Cloud Leopard, Crocodile Dragon, Fire Separation Flood Dragon, and others coming out to greet him, expressing their longing for Lu Xuan.

"Don't rush, don't rush, I've brought back something tasty for you."

Lu Xuan spoke a few soothing words, went into the house, and took out a preliminarily processed Dark Fish.

He had learned from Shi Zichen how to handle the Dark Fish: discard the innards and the outermost layer of meat and use a special method to obtain the central portion of the fish meat.

Given the massive size of the Dark Fish, even a small portion weighed hundreds of pounds.

He had gained rich cooking experience while at the Sky Sword Sect, even earning the favor of the two Guardian Beasts there, and his skills hadn't faded over the years spent at the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave.

In less than half an hour, various cooking methods were used to prepare the Dark Fish and it was served.

In the courtyard, the many Spirit Beasts looked forward eagerly, lining up obediently.

"Fine food must be paired with fine brews."

Lu Xuan then brought out a large amount of Spirit Brew, distributing it to each of the Spirit Beasts.

"Dig in!"

At his command, the already impatient Spirit Beasts devoured the food voraciously, consuming the hundred pounds of Dark Fish in a blink.

"Fresh, tender, smooth… and once inside the belly, there's a faint cool sensation that flows through the body, worthy of being a Fourth Grade Spirit Fish."

Lu Xuan squinted his eyes, sipped a mouthful of Green Condensation Dew, and made his assessment.

"You all don't know how to truly savor it, each one chomping like a bull eating peonies."

When he opened his eyes, he saw a group of Spirit Beasts gathered around him, with the Thunder Dragon Behemoth, having secured the most advantageous spot thanks to its speed, even sticking out its tongue.

Lu Xuan raised his palm, and a thumb-sized bolt of lightning struck the Thunder Dragon Behemoth, sending it flying ten feet away.

"Eat some Spirit Fruit to settle your stomach."

He scattered a bunch of Ice Fire Spirit Fruit, then vanished in a flash.

"So many mouths, how can I feed them all."

Inside the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan sighed lightly.

Grass Puppet, carrying two Arrow vines and striding on two thin rope-like grass legs, came from not far away,

"You can eat something else."

Lu Xuan tossed a Nascent Soul Grass Orb to the Grass Puppet and checked all the Spiritual Plants in the Spirit Field.

Having not cultivated for a while, although many Spiritual Plants were growing well, they still had some minor needs.

All he could do was meet the growth needs of each Spiritual Plant to the best extent possible.

It was only after half a day that he finished nurturing every Spiritual Plant in the Spirit Field.

"I am about to harvest another batch soon."

In the Spirit Field inside, the Fourth Grade Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd and the Fifth Grade Thousand Forms Grass were both about to fully mature, along with several other varieties that had also reached the stage of maturity. This filled Lu Xuan with anticipation.

After returning to the house, he took out two Communication Talismans, input a message, and the talismans shot out, rushing into the sky full of fine thunderous light.

The two talismans were separately sent to Wood Daoren of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce and Wen Qian of the Grocery Store.

Lu Xuan asked them to help keep an eye out for Spirit Bamboo seedlings or Spiritual Seeds, and he also reminded Wood Daoren to urge the headquarters of the commerce association to quickly gather Star Fruit Seeds.

After the two batches of Star Fruits cultivated by the commerce association for Lu Xuan matured successfully, it had switched from Lu Xuan asking to cultivate them to the commerce association actively bringing the seeds to him,

over a dozen high-quality Star Fruits allowed a shift in positions, with Lu Xuan now having the upper hand.

After returning to his Cave Abode, more than half a month soon passed.

During this period, Lu Xuan stayed in the Cave Abode, cultivating Spiritual Plants, tending to Spirit Beasts, and living a simple yet fulfilling life.

In the Spirit Field inside, one of the Thousand Forms Grasses had already fully matured.

Lu Xuan confirmed that the semi-transparent progress bar below the Spirit Grass was completely filled and carefully pulled it out.

The Thousand Forms Grass, nourished by various Monster Beast Spirits throughout its growth period, had an extremely strange shape, with gnashing teeth and flailing claws, as though it was a hybrid of various monster beasts mixed together.

When he had just pulled out the mature Thousand Forms Grass, he even saw a ferocious strange beast's phantom flash by before merging into the Spirit Grass.

[Thousand Forms Grass, Fifth Grade Spirit Plant, nourished by Monster Beast Spirits, its shape and the type of spirits absorbed are closely related, the mature Spirit Grass contains pure and dense demonic power, which greatly attracts monsters and Spirit Beasts, and long-term consumption can refine their bloodline to some extent.]

"Being able to refine the bloodline of Spirit Beasts... it would be perfect for tending to the various Spirit Beasts in the Cave Abode."

"Also, I wonder how effective this Thousand Forms Grass would be as fish bait."

Years ago, he had raised creatures like the Cloud Leopard, the Fat Bird Wind Falcon, the Rock-shell Turtle, etc., which, due to limitations in their lineage, found it hard to break through their own ranks.

With this Thousand Forms Grass, as long as he persisted in feeding it to them long-term, the chances of those Spirit Beasts breaking through would greatly increase.

"Mainly, having been with them for many years, I can't bear to leave them behind."

"Along the way, I'll also collect a few Light Cluster rewards."

As Lu Xuan thought to himself, his gaze fell on a White Light Group that had quietly emerged below.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light group, and in an instant, the light group silently shattered, turning into a sky full of fine light spots.

Countless light spots instantly condensed into a thin river of light, merging into Lu Xuan's body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

[You have harvested one Thousand Forms Grass, Fifth Grade, and obtained a Sixth Grade Talisman, Spirit Transformation Talisman.]

The thought disappeared, and a talisman with a strange phenomenon appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

In the center of the talisman, there was a faint blue light, inside which a tiny Flood Dragon phantom was swimming around, and a strong Spirit Pressure was dissipating, stirring up layers of transparent ripples around the talisman.

Lu Xuan's mind focused on the talisman in front of him, instantly understanding detailed information about it.

[Spirit Transformation Talisman, Sixth Grade Talisman, integrated with a powerful Monster Beast Spirit. It can be instantly activated to attack enemies or can be bonded to the flesh body, transforming into a Half Monster form, significantly enhancing physical strength.]

"The Monster Beast Spirit released by the Sixth Grade Spirit Transformation Talisman is quite good, but it's not extraordinary among my many methods." Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire

"It is the effect of significantly enhancing physical strength when bonded to the body that is really good."

"I wonder what the effect would be if I stacked ten or even a hundred Spirit Transformation Talismans..."

Lu Xuan looked at the remaining Thousand Forms Grass in the Spirit Field and mused silently.
