You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 219: Roar of the Sea Sword Symbol

"Roar~"

"Chirp~"

"Howl~"

After each of the three consumed a small piece of Jade Scale Fruit, stimulated by the rich and moist spiritual energy, they instinctively roared.

Whether it was impassioned, crisp, or rugged with a hint of playfulness, the roars echoed through the peaks.

"The Cloud-Stepping Lynx is a first-grade exotic beast, the Wind Falcon is in the second-grade growth period, and the third-grade Fire dragon is still in its infancy. Dividing the Jade Scale Fruit into three parts is just right."

After the roars subsided, the three found a place each to absorb the spiritual energy of the Jade Scale Fruit.

Lu Xuan continued to patrol the spiritual field. When he encountered the Grass Puppet, he gently tapped a large gray grass lump on its head and input a strand of Green Wood Source Qi.

The Grass Puppet's body grew wildly with gray grass, gradually turning green as it extended, tightly wrapping around it.

After patrolling the spiritual field, Lu Xuan returned to his room, soaked in a bath of Dragon Blood Essence, practiced the "Dragon Transformation Chapter," and felt the increasing strength of his physical body.

With the opening of the Secret Realm just a month away, Lu Xuan, holding the Sword Command, was not in a hurry. He patiently cultivated the spiritual plants, waiting for them to mature.

Ten days later, he arrived at a rock wall.

More than twenty discarded flying swords were haphazardly arranged, connected by vine tendrils to form a special rack.

Although there were many flying swords, all of them were second-hand goods that Lu Xuan had scavenged from the stalls of scattered cultivators in Jianmen Town, and they hadn't cost much spiritual stones.

On the vines, five differently sized blue gourds hung at different heights. The gourd at the lowest point absorbed the most sword intent, so it was the largest and matured faster.

Knowing that a gourd was about to mature, Lu Xuan came to check twice a day to open the light orb reward as soon as possible.

Concentrating his mind, the progress bar below the blue mottled gourd at the lowest point was completely filled.

"It has finally matured."

Lu Xuan paid special attention to the gourd nurturing the sword qi. He picked the gourd as soon as possible.

The gourd's mouth had a naturally formed plug to prevent the sword qi nurtured inside from leaking.

With a gentle shake, the interior of the gourd emitted a faint sword hum. The sword intent surged, as if it could shoot out at any moment.

【Sword-Nurturing Gourd, third-grade spiritual plant, the gourd harbors invisible sword qi, exceptionally powerful in combat.】

Lu Xuan's thoughts swept over, then he focused on the white light orb hanging on the vines.

The light orb flickered slightly, and as the vines swayed gently, it touched Lu Xuan's heartstrings.

Holding his breath, he reached out and gently touched the surface of the light orb.

The light orb burst open with a bang, countless tiny light points turning into nearly invisible sword intent, rushing into Lu Xuan's body eagerly.

Lu Xuan only felt a slight tingling on the skin where the light points touched, and a thought flashed through his mind.

【Harvested one third-grade Sword-Nurturing Gourd, obtained a fourth-grade Roar of the Sea Sword Symbol.】

A non-metallic, non-jade talisman appeared in Lu Xuan's hand. The talisman was about three inches long, shaped like a sword tip, with surging waves on its surface, revealing an infinite sword intent upon closer inspection.

Lu Xuan's mind focused on the talisman, instantly learning detailed information about it.

【Roar of the Sea Sword Symbol, fourth-grade talisman. When activated, it can instantly unleash a sword intent like raging waves. A full-force strike can severely injure or even kill a cultivator in the mid to late Foundation Establishment stage.】

【Consumable, can control the amount of sword qi activated. The more used, the stronger the sword qi's killing power.】

"A fourth-grade talisman!"

Lu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

This Sword-Nurturing Gourd, exchanged with Sword Command, proved to be a highly rewarding spiritual plant.

This Roar of the Sea Sword Symbol could be considered his most powerful attack method so far.

"Ordinary talismans are disposable, but this fourth-grade Roar of the Sea Sword Symbol can be used multiple times. If used well, it could provide significant assistance to me."

Lu Xuan looked at the surging sword intent waves inside the talisman, unable to suppress his amazement.

"Now, entering the Secret Realm, I have gained another strong reliance."

He carefully stored the Roar of the Sea Sword Symbol, hung the Sword-Nurturing Gourd on his waist, and held the simple and ancient Jade Sword Sheath in his hand.

Casually using the Water Mirror Technique, a tall and handsome young man with a clear and bright gaze appeared in the hazy mirror.

Wearing a blue robe, with a blue mottled gourd hanging from his waist, lazily holding an ancient long sword in his hand, he exuded an otherworldly and ethereal temperament, looking like an exiled immortal.

"Have I become an immortal in Tianzong Sword Dao?"

"No, I am farming to become an immortal in Jianzong Sword Dao."

Lu Xuan put away the gourd and sword sheath, converged his spiritual energy, instantly becoming an ordinary spiritual plant cultivator.

As the time for the opening of the Secret Realm approached, Lu Xuan keenly sensed the change in the atmosphere within the inner sect.

Recently, the Sword Command became the hottest item among inner disciples. Many fellow disciples tried various channels to exchange for a Sword Command.

Unaffected, Lu Xuan focused on cultivating spiritual plants.

Soon, there were only three days left until the Secret Realm opened.

During this period, Lu Xuan harvested another Jade Scale Fruit, obtaining a piece of Red Jade Spirit Ore.

Thirty-two Water Fire Grass would soon mature. Lu Xuan estimated that it might take some time to enter the Secret Realm, so he used a bit of Green Wood Source Qi to completely ripen half of them, that is, sixteen Water Fire Grass.

The remaining sixteen would be used for cultivation, expanding the planting scale later.

Cultivation needed to begin some time after the spiritual plants were fully matured. The process was quite complex, and Lu Xuan decided to start after returning from the Secret Realm.

Out of the sixteen second-grade Water Fire Grass, due to the ripening and improvement of their grades, he did not harvest perfect specimens. Two were top-grade, five were of good quality, and the remaining nine were of ordinary quality.

After harvesting, sixteen light orbs immediately appeared.

Lu Xuan gently touched them, and various rewards flooded in with each thought.

Among them, seven Water Fire Grass brought cultivation rewards. Ordinary quality rewarded one year of cultivation, good quality rewarded two years, and top-grade rewarded three years.

In total, Lu Xuan gained eleven years of cultivation.

His spiritual energy surged, and he operated

the "Great Five Elements Technique," transforming the spiritual energy into concentrated spiritual liquid stored in his dantian.

"Finally, not stuck in one place."

Feeling the long-lost surge in cultivation, coupled with the vivid contrast when he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a boundless joy.

Among the remaining light orbs, six were second-grade spirit pills called Lingering Spirit Pills, which could enhance a cultivator's spiritual energy. For Lu Xuan in the early Foundation Establishment stage, they were somewhat useful.

In addition, there were two third-grade talismans.

Water Dragon Talisman, when activated, could summon a water-spirit Jiao Dragon. Controlled by spiritual awareness, it could cause damage to enemies.

"It's equivalent to instantly casting two intermediate-level spells, the Water Dragon Spell."

The "Great Five Elements Technique" had the cultivation method for this spell. Lu Xuan was self-aware; besides absorbing spiritual energy, most of his time was spent practicing the Five Elements Escape Technique and other techniques that could assist in cultivating spiritual plants.
