You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 214: Sparks Along the Way with Lightning

Lu Xuan arrived in front of a spiritual field. With a thought, a faint aura of green wood source Qi separated from his dantian.

His right index finger suddenly emitted a faint green aura, rich with vitality, causing numerous spiritual plants around to unconsciously stretch their branches and leaves towards him.

Lu Xuan gently pressed down, and the faint green aura merged into a peculiar spiritual firefly grass.

Soon, the spiritual firefly grass exuded vigorous vitality. Lu Xuan, with his spiritual awareness, could even perceive its rapid growth.

The growth speed was several times faster than normal. After half an incense stick's time, it gradually slowed down.

Lu Xuan's focus was on this peculiar spiritual firefly grass, sensing the simplest and intense joy it conveyed to him.

He then approached a second-grade flame fruit. Following the same procedure, he infused a strand of faint green aura into the plant.

Comparing the results, he found that the effect of the green wood source Qi on the flame fruit was much weaker than on the firefly grass. However, it was still noticeable, promoting the rapid growth of the flame fruit.

"Perhaps due to the difference in grades. Although the firefly grass is an abnormal spiritual plant, it remains gradeless. The disparity between the two is not small, resulting in significant differences in the effects produced by the green wood source Qi," Lu Xuan analyzed.

He glanced at the nearby grass puppet patrolling the spiritual field dutifully. He summoned it, and a visibly thicker green flow of energy appeared on his finger. He pressed it on the chest of the grass puppet entwined with gray grass.

A green dot appeared on the gray chest, rapidly expanding and soon occupying the entire chest of the grass puppet.

Stimulated by the green wood source Qi, the gray grass ropes that composed the grass puppet's body crazily extended, tightly wrapping around its chest, turning the grass puppet into a monster with a dense thicket of weeds.

"I didn't expect it could also help the growth of the grass puppet. It's quite a pleasant surprise," Lu Xuan murmured, feeling satisfied with the condition of the grass puppet.

After the grass puppet advanced to the second grade and the mass picking of the firefly grass temporarily halted, it had been some time since he received the grass spirit essence. The previous stock was almost depleted.

Now, with the more effective green wood source Qi, he could expedite the grass puppet's growth.

Lu Xuan continued experimenting and found that besides accelerating the growth of spiritual plants, to some extent, he could also manipulate their growth changes. Moreover, by absorbing the vitality of spiritual plants, he could replenish the consumption of the green wood source Qi.

"This green wood source Qi has enormous utility. However, using it to replenish vitality will damage the spiritual plants, so it should be used cautiously," Lu Xuan decided to use the green wood source Qi only for cultivating the highest-grade spiritual plants to quickly obtain abundant light group rewards.

After a brief experiment, Lu Xuan let the faint green light group float in his dantian while carefully observing the various spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

The previously obtained abnormal firefly grass had all been used to refine spiritual seeds. Combined with the eight hundred seeds induced multiple times, he now possessed over two hundred abnormal firefly grass seeds.

"With more than two hundred abnormal firefly grass seeds, planting them in a cycle and refining them all will yield one to two thousand new abnormal firefly grass seeds. Then, I can start new induction experiments."

"I'm about to get improved varieties of firefly grass."

Lu Xuan sighed in amazement.

After planting the seeds, he could immediately detect whether the induction was successful. If damaged, he would discard them; otherwise, he would continue inducing them.

Through multiple selections, he could obtain far more abnormal firefly grass seeds than through normal inductions. Skipping the time spent cultivating useless abnormal spiritual plants made his process of improving spiritual plants much easier than that of other cultivators.

While patrolling the spiritual field, Lu Xuan noticed that the progress bar below another sword grass had completely filled up.

He grabbed the plant resembling a long sword, and with steady force, pulled out the sword grass.

With the constant nourishment of golden marrow and jade liquid, coupled with the continuous enhancement of the "Lustrous Bone Forging Technique" and "Ethereal Dragon Transformation," his bone hardness was no longer below that of a third-grade magical weapon. Even though the edge of the sword grass was extremely sharp, it couldn't pierce through the skin of his palm.

"Excellent quality, not bad at all," Lu Xuan examined the quality of the sword grass and then looked at the slightly shimmering white light group on the ground.

"It's time for the rewards again!"

The two sword grasses harvested earlier yielded the Thunder Sword Pill and Sword Embryo from the white light group. This increased Lu Xuan's anticipation for the rewards brought by this sword grass.

Gently touching it, the light group turned into countless light dots, piercing into Lu Xuan's body like sharp blades.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested one second-grade sword grass, obtained a third-grade flying sword, Purple Thunder Sword.]

With that thought, a strangely shaped flying sword appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.

The flying sword was slender, about three feet long, with a deep purple sword body adorned with faint red patterns, occasionally emitting sparks of lightning.

In the middle, there was a bent section that slanted upwards and then downwards, making the flying sword look like a lightning bolt directly cut down.

Lu Xuan concentrated his spiritual consciousness on this peculiar flying sword and quickly learned the details about it.

[Purple Thunder Sword, a third-grade flying sword made from special ore in the Gangfeng. When used, the sword body carries thunder and lightning spiritual power.]

(Gangfeng: A region or source of special ore used in crafting the Purple Thunder Sword.)

"A third-grade flying sword, perfect for me now," Lu Xuan remarked.

After advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, he had several third-grade treasures, but none of them were suitable weapons. The previously obtained Broken Silver Blade and Red Thread Needle had already been phased out, and the second-grade Crimson Flame Sword was insufficient in the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, this third-grade Purple Thunder Sword happened to fill that gap.

"With the flying sword appearing, let's put it in the scabbard and nurture it well."

He smirked, taking out the Sword Sheath.

In the ancient scabbard, there was the old flying sword, the second-grade Crimson Flame Sword, which had been in there for quite some time.

When pulled out, the rich fire-element spiritual power almost solidified, flowing out like magma from the cracks in the scabbard.

"The nourishing effect is not bad; the fire-element spiritual power on the sword body is even more concentrated and pure."

Lu Xuan examined the Crimson Flame Sword in his hand, sighing.

"As a reward, today, let you try a new flying sword with its own thunder and lightning power. I guarantee it will suit you well."

He looked at the scabbard, where the Sword Sheath was still flowing with hot magma, and said with a grin.

At his words, the scabbard trembled slightly, and a thin film of spiritual energy appeared on the cracks, attempting to isolate the approaching Purple Thunder Sword.

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, and the sword-like body

of the Purple Thunder Sword pointed straight at the crack.

"A mere thin film of spiritual energy; watch my Purple Thunder Sword break it!"

The sword tip easily penetrated the spiritual energy film, entering deep into the scabbard.

A faint purple light appeared on the sword body, swimming inside the scabbard, causing the scabbard to tremble continuously.

After a long time, the ancient scabbard, which had been trembling all along, finally calmed down. Occasionally, it would shake slightly, proving that the inside was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"The lingering fire-element spiritual power from the previously inserted Crimson Flame Sword still remains, and now, with the stimulation of this Purple Thunder Sword, there's a saying, how does it go?"

"Holding the Purple Thunder Sword, sparks along the way with lightning~!"

Lu Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
