You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 213: Green Wood Source Qi

After tasting the Hundred-Fruit Spirit Nectar that had always haunted its soul, the inner obsession of the Azure Profound Deer broke free and gradually dissipated.

Its consciousness sank continuously, closing its eyes slowly, emitting a low, ethereal call that echoed deep into the mystical realm.

On its massive body, strands of hair, like tangled weeds, quickly turned green, automatically falling off and merging into the vines below.

The pale green skin continued to fade, leaving only countless green dots, vaguely forming the approximate shape of the Azure Profound Deer.

The green dots seemed to possess vitality, splitting into two parts. The larger part silently dispersed, merging into the myriad spiritual plants in the mystical realm.

The remaining small portion of green dots gathered together, forming a faint green light cluster that instantly surged into Lu Xuan's body.

Lu Xuan felt his body completely enveloped by a cool breath, moisturizing every part of him and enhancing his vitality.

In his dantian, a light cluster the size of a pigeon egg stopped near the Xunlei Sword Pill, floating and sinking. Faint green ripples spread out, penetrating Lu Xuan's meridians and bones.

"That is the Green Wood Source Qi, the original spiritual power of the Deer. I didn't expect it to bestow such a gift upon you before its death," remarked Lu Xuan, unsure of what to do, while the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Gu Jiankong, suddenly spoke.

"The Green Wood Source Qi is an extremely rare and unique spiritual power. Once absorbed into the body, it can continuously nourish your physique, greatly improving your physical self-healing abilities."

"In addition, it can increase your affinity with spiritual plants. When applied to spiritual plants, it can accelerate their growth and absorb the spiritual energy of plants for supplementation."

"You successfully resolved the obsession of this fifth-grade Deer, and I never expected you to effortlessly solve such a significant problem with the Spirit Nectar concocted from numerous spiritual fruits."

Gu Jiankong looked at Lu Xuan with a hint of admiration in his eyes. On the side, Lei Su, a middle-aged cultivator, initially advocated for dealing with the Azure Profound Deer earlier. However, after seeing Lu Xuan resolve the issue smoothly, a touch of appreciation appeared in his heterochromatic eyes.

"There is no beast problem that cannot be solved. If there is, just feed it a meal," Lu Xuan recovered from the astonishment of the scenes flashing through his mind, along with the surprise of obtaining the Green Wood Source Qi, and sighed to himself.

"Senior Deer's generous gift before its demise truly makes me feel unworthy," he said with a slightly anxious tone.

Gu Jiankong seemed to sense his inner worry and spoke in a reassuring tone, "Rest assured, the fact that you received the Deer's gift is your destiny, and others cannot snatch it away."

"Moreover, your ability to resolve the obsession of the Deer and let most of its original spiritual energy merge into this mystical realm has greatly benefited the realm. It can be considered a significant achievement."

Lei Su remained expressionless, nodding slightly.

However, the other Foundation Establishment disciples present couldn't hide their envy.

Upon hearing Gu Jiankong's assurance, Lu Xuan finally felt at ease. After all, receiving a gift from a fifth-grade demonic beast like the Azure Profound Deer was not something easily accepted.

"Well, thanks to you, Lu Shixiong, the Azure Profound Deer that has guarded the sect for many years has been able to end peacefully. Moreover, it left a considerable treasure for the Sky Sword mystical realm even before its final moments."

"That Green Wood Source Qi is rightfully yours. In addition, I will give you three hundred Sword Seals as a reward for resolving the Deer's obsession."

As Gu Jiankong's words fell, three hundred small sword-like seals flew out from in front of him and floated in front of Lu Xuan.

"Thank you, Senior Gu!" Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude with a respectful bow.

Inwardly, he marveled at the generosity of Gu Jiankong. Three hundred Sword Seals were already more than he currently possessed. Keep in mind that when he exchanged for the fourth-grade Xuan Insect Vine from the Hall, it only cost him two hundred and forty Sword Seals. The value of three hundred Sword Seals was evident.

Lu Xuan collected the three hundred Sword Seals in front of him and bid farewell to everyone, heading towards the exit of the Sky Sword mystical realm along with the group.

Passing through the densely covered spirit wood and vines, small curious creatures, palm-sized and green, flew out from within. They stared curiously at the group, then followed Lu Xuan's movements.

"Since Junior Brother Lu obtained that original spiritual energy, the attitudes of these little spirits in the realm have changed noticeably."

Ge Pu, who was beside him, chuckled.

Lu Xuan turned to look, and the green creatures flapped their light green wings, blending into the trees.

After leaving the mystical realm, Lu Xuan bid farewell to everyone. Just as he was about to head to his own peak, a clear and cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Junior Brother Lu, please wait."

Lu Xuan turned to see the quiet and fair woman who excelled in treating demonic beasts. Through their previous interactions, he learned her name was Liu Su, and she was also in the early Foundation Establishment stage.

"Sister Liu, may I ask what's the matter?" Lu Xuan smiled and asked.

"It's nothing urgent, just that Junior Brother Lu's ability to communicate with spirit beasts has amazed me. I wanted to get to know Junior Brother and, if possible, exchange experiences on cultivating spiritual plants and raising spirit beasts."

"In the sect, there are few fellow disciples who spend a significant amount of time and effort on spiritual plants and spirit beasts like us. Occasionally, we gather to exchange related experiences."

"I see. Sister Liu, this is my communication talisman. You can use it to contact me if needed."

Lu Xuan handed a communication talisman to Liu Su.

In the sect, there was such a small circle for exchanging knowledge about cultivating spiritual plants and raising spirit beasts. Lu Xuan was naturally eager to join. Even though he could instantly understand the current state of spiritual plants and spirit beasts, his knowledge in this area was still insufficient. Learning from powerful cultivators in the sect would undoubtedly be beneficial. Moreover, it would be easier to obtain unknown or rare spirit species from them.

After exchanging contact talismans, the two bid farewell, and Lu Xuan quickly returned to his own peak.

Inside his house, he counted the gains from resolving the Deer's obsession this time.

The harvest was quite substantial. The most significant was undoubtedly the Green Wood Source Qi. Although it was only a small part, it was still a considerable fortune for Lu Xuan, a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage, as a gift from a fifth-grade demonic beast.

Next was the three hundred Sword Seals rewarded by Gu Jiankong, which were worth no less than two thousand spirit stones and held a priceless value.

"Originally, serving the sect is the duty of inner disciples, and I originally didn't want to accept these Sword Seals. But Senior Uncle…"

"He gave way too much!"

Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh

. The number of Sword Seals he had accumulated through hard work, from many tasks, was only a casual reward from Gu Jiankong.

Finally, there was the formula for the Hundred Fruits Spirit Cream obtained from the scenes deep within the Deer's obsession.

This spirit cream, concocted from dozens of spiritual fruits and special brewing methods, was a unique formula left behind by a Foundation Establishment senior who fell outside. It was highly favored by various spiritual beasts.

"This will surely captivate you all."

Lu Xuan remembered the gluttonous Xuantian White Luan and the White Jade Uplifting Sky Ape, couldn't help but smile.
