You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 191: Five Elements Escape Technique, Four Seasons Sword Art

The spiritual energy surged within him as the spiritual soil in front of him underwent subtle changes under the control and guidance of the Earth-Attraction Technique.

Three slender cracks appeared, and Lu Xuan inserted three seeds of Moonlit Grass into the cracks.

His consciousness focused on the spiritual seeds in the shallow layer of the spiritual soil, and suddenly, a thought emerged in his mind.

【Moonlit Grass, a third-grade spiritual plant. When mature, it can be used to nurture mythical beasts, greatly benefiting their growth. It can also serve as a material for certain elixirs.】

【It naturally repels sunlight. During the day, the plant gathers essence to its roots, causing it to be in a semi-withered state.】

【At night, the plant returns to normal, absorbing moonlight spiritual energy. When the spiritual energy is abundant, it condenses into Moonlight Elixir, dispersing at dawn.】

【Perfect for cultivating at midnight.】

"Another plant that dislikes sunlight, growing by absorbing moonlight spiritual energy."

Lu Xuan marveled at the diversity of spiritual plants.

After the second-grade Dark Marrow Mushroom and the Yin Locust Tree still in the growth stage, another type of plant that resisted sunlight appeared among his cultivated plants.

He looked up at the sky, using the perfected Wood Growth Technique to control the surrounding vegetation, forming a natural barrier around the Moonlit Grass seeds. After some time, it would act as a natural shield.

After planting the third-grade Moonlit Grass, Lu Xuan casually found an empty spiritual field and used the Earth-Attraction Technique to bury five seeds of Nirvana Orchid.

A thought flashed, and information about Nirvana Orchid appeared.

【Nirvana Orchid, a second-grade spiritual plant. When mature, its leaves flutter softly, resembling the robes of an immortal.】

【It can be tanned into silk, used to weave robes for Taoist tools, and provides a lightness effect.】

【Dancing in the moonlight, like a celestial being in the mortal world.】

"Hmm, a plant that dances."

Lu Xuan left a comment and continued planting five seeds of Sun Fragrance Fruit.

【Sun Fragrance Fruit, a second-grade spiritual plant. When mature, the fruit emits a natural fragrance. Consuming it can make one's thoughts lively, temporarily enhancing a cultivator's comprehension.】

【Loves sunlight exposure. The stronger the light and the longer the exposure, the longer the fragrance lasts.】

【Expose, expose, expose for ten days and half a month.】

"The first time I've encountered a plant that loves sunlight exposure."

After some thought, Lu Xuan took out the five seeds of Sun Fragrance Fruit from the spiritual soil, leapt lightly, and arrived at the mountain top.

"This location has the highest terrain, no other plants blocking the sunlight. The exposure time is the longest; it's enough for you to bask."

He planted the five seeds of Sun Fragrance Fruit in a flat area on the mountain top, whispering to himself.

He surveyed the spiritual field, carefully examining each plant, using various related techniques to meet every subtle need of the plants.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Xuan, bathed in golden morning light, inspected the spiritual field as usual.

Then, he returned to the courtyard, ate some spiritual fruits, meditated for a while, instructed his two juniors and the grass puppet to take care of the house, and left the peak.

After advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, he had obtained the spiritual seeds, and now he could apply for three techniques suitable for the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although he could obtain them from the light orbs brought by various spiritual plants, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity for a freebie.

Moreover, the Sky Sword Sect was a well-known sect in the cultivation world, and the techniques stored in the scripture pavilion were rarely seen elsewhere.

With his identity token, he smoothly entered the seventh-floor scripture pavilion.

He had learned earlier that the third and fourth floors housed various Foundation Establishment stage techniques, arts, and mysterious techniques, accessible only to inner disciples.

Climbing the stone stairs, he passed through several powerful restrictions and arrived at the third floor.

Many jade slips, ancient texts, and scrolls were placed on the walls. All of them had special restrictions on their surfaces, preventing non-sect members from opening and reading the detailed content, only allowing a general understanding.

Lu Xuan roamed around the third and fourth floors, weighing his options. In the end, he chose a cultivation technique, a sword art, and a light body technique.

The cultivation technique was named "intermediate Five Elements Technique," inheriting the lineage of the "Basic Five Elemental Technique" he had chosen when he first entered the sect, saving him from wasting time on converting spiritual power.

The technique was suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators and could be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul realm. The balanced and harmonious spiritual power it cultivated allowed practice in various complex spiritual environments.

It also included several intermediate Five Elements Techniques, more powerful and complex than the basic Techniques Lu Xuan had mastered before.

With the increasing number of high-grade spiritual plants he cultivated, the basic Five Elements Technique sometimes fell short in meeting their needs. The intermediate Techniques in the "Grand Five Elemental Technique" filled this gap.

Apart from that, it also included the Five Elements Escape Technique, allowing free movement in the Five Elements environments. Considering Lu Xuan's cautious nature, he was very satisfied with this.

The sword art was named "Four Seasons Sword Art," consisting of four sets of sword techniques named after the four seasons, each embodying different sword intents.

The Spring Rain Sword Art was continuous and sinister, the Summer Sword Art was violent and aggressive, the Autumn Wind Sword Art was desolate and killing, and the Winter Snow Sword Art was cold and piercing. Each set had its unique characteristics.

When practiced to a high level, the Four Seasons Sword Art exhibited a myriad of changes. The four sword techniques could be freely switched, making it difficult for opponents to defend against.

In addition to the distinctive features of the sword art itself, Lu Xuan also considered its role in cultivating sword grass.

The first strain of sword grass was mainly cultivated using the Geng Metal Sword Art, resulting in a high-quality mature sword grass.

When the two strains of sword grass currently growing in the spiritual field matured, and if the quality was normal, the Lord of the Cultivation Hall, Shen Ye, who had promised him, would introduce him to a series of spiritual plants based on sword grass.

At that time, he might come into contact with high-grade spiritual plants like the Sword Peacock. Even though the Golden Sword Art had reached the Master level, it might not be enough for a first-grade sword art.

Lu Xuan chose the "Four Seasons Sword Art," with its various changes, taking these factors into consideration.

The light body technique was named "Floating Technique," a third-grade technique. When successfully cultivated, it allowed the user to move like a fleeting shadow, extremely fast.

After making his choices, Lu Xuan's spiritual sense penetrated the brilliant star river at the top of the scripture pavilion.

Soon, the shining dots in the star river slowly poured down, falling onto the three jade slips in Lu Xuan's hands. The restrictions on the jade slips melted away like snow in the warm sun.

"Now, everything is balanced

."

"Offense with the Xun Thunder Sword Pellet in the Dantian and the new 'Four Seasons Sword Art,' intermediate Five Elements Technique."

"Defense, the powerful physique from 'Dragonization Scripture' and 'Lustrous Bone Forging Technique.' For demonic entities, I have the Pure Jade; ordinary malevolent entities can't approach me easily, and there's also the substitute demonic infant that can withstand a fatal blow."

"For stealth and escape, there's the third-grade Concealing Spirit Robe, Five Elements Escape Technique, and Floating Technique."

"You could say it's a comprehensive development."

"Of course, the most advantageous is still the cultivation of spiritual plants."

Lu Xuan sighed.
