You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 248: The Demonic Eradication Task is Handed Over to You

Back at the mountain peak, Lu Xuan opened the flowing light array.

As soon as he entered, a gray vine slipped out from his sleeve.

The spiritual aura of the mountains and forests intoxicated the vine, making it twist and turn as it crawled along the rocks.

Due to the infusion of The Green Wood Source Qi energy by Lu Xuan during its incubation, the demonic vine had a strong dependence on him. Most of the time, it stayed hidden in his robe, only to be set free and indulge in the world of numerous spiritual plants when back at the mountain peak.

The gray vine looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and then, after turning towards the direction of the fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus, Mysterious Insect Vine, and Spirit Pine, it finally chose the location of the third-grade Enchanting Spirit Peaches.

For no particular reason, it just enjoyed being near those peaches.

The wind falcon dangled its balloon-like belly, flapping its light blue wings continuously. It turned into a streak of blue light, using Lu Xuan's head as a buffer, bouncing up and falling back to the ground.

A large red chain hung from its ankle.

The chain belonged to the Flame Serpent, which, after being raised for so long, had grown over half a zhang long. Its slender body was covered in fine red scales.

In the forest, the Cloud-Stepping Lynx with emerald green eyes quietly watched Lu Xuan playing with the wind falcon and the young serpent.

Then, seemingly indifferent, it turned its head away, only pointing its pointed ears in the direction of Lu Xuan.

When he came over and tugged at the two clusters of gray fur on its ear tips, it let out a satisfied low growl before calmly leaving.

Lu Xuan returned to his room, carefully organizing the gains from his visit to the teaching hall.

During the teaching process, he exchanged experiences with many outer disciples about cultivating spiritual plants. He also encountered various rare and peculiar species, broadening his horizons.

As for teaching them their own planting experiences and refining cultivation methods, Lu Xuan was not worried about disciples turning into masters, the kind of situation where the disciples surpass the master.

After all, to cultivate higher-quality spiritual plants, they needed to continuously experiment and explore, summarizing the best cultivation methods for spiritual plants. Lu Xuan, on the other hand, could simply understand the immediate state of the plants.

More importantly, spiritual plants held different meanings for both parties.

For Lu Xuan, cultivating spiritual plants meant gaining cultivation, various rare treasures, allowing him to prioritize cultivation and exploring opportunities.

For other cultivators, even if there were changes after Lu Xuan's teachings, the degree of change was very limited, and cultivation remained in the primary position.

The next day, Lu Xuan, at Liusu's invitation, gathered with several fellow senior disciples for a small gathering.

They were all proficient in the ways of spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, so they often gathered to exchange experiences.

After learning that Lu Xuan had recently entered the Secret Realm, their attitude towards him had noticeably changed, becoming more enthusiastic than before.

They chatted, sipped their drinks, discussed, and enjoyed themselves.

In the midst of the lively conversation, suddenly, a faint and sharp sword whistling sound reached their ears.

Then, each person's ear silently appeared an invisible sword.

The sword, like a bubble, burst instantly, and a voice echoed in their ears.

"All inner disciples, listen up!"

"Recently, the Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator Tong Yin of the Dark Yin Sect was besieged by three Nascent Soul stage cultivators and died on the spot. The magical treasure he refined, the Wuzi Tongxin Devil, luckily escaped. At least two of the Tongxin Devils have infiltrated the Star Yuan City and the surrounding markets within a two-thousand-mile radius."

"To prevent the Tongxin Devils from causing chaos and indiscriminate killings, the sect has organized inner disciples to eradicate these demonic heads."

"Participation is voluntary. For each successfully eradicated Tongxin Devil, you will be rewarded with a fourth-grade flying sword."

"Departure is tomorrow."

The solemn voice echoed in the minds of the people.

"The Tongxin Devils, who have merged into the sect's border area, must be exterminated!"

A mature and stable-looking middle-aged cultivator said indignantly.

"Indeed, eliminating demons and upholding justice is the duty of our righteous cultivators. Moreover, these Tongxin Devils dared to invade the territory of our Sky Sword Sect, which is considered seeking death."

Someone voiced their agreement.

"Surprisingly, there's also a fourth-grade flying sword as a reward for demon eradication!"

"I was a little worried at first, but with this reward, all concerns evaporate instantly."

"Haha, let's see who has the ability to get that fourth-grade flying sword."

Everyone's enthusiasm was ignited by the reward of the fourth-grade flying sword, as if it were already in their hands.

"An Nascent Soul cultivator has fallen? It's really terrifying."

Lu Xuan's focus was different from others; he had thought that after advancing to the Foundation Establishment realm, his survival abilities in the cultivation world would greatly improve. The Nascent Soul realm could command wind and rain in the cultivation world, with an incredibly esteemed status.

However, he did not expect to hear news of the death of a Nascent Soul cultivator today.

"It seems like I still have to stay within the sect."

His cultivation level at the early Foundation Establishment stage was probably seen as a larger ant in the eyes of those Nascent Soul cultivators, easily toyed with at will.

"Sister Liu, I've been staying within the sect and rarely going out. I'm not very familiar with many common practices in the cultivation world. I'd like to ask Sister Liu, who exactly is Tong Yin?"

He whispered to the fair-skinned Liusu.

"Tong Yin is a Nascent Soul elder of the Dark Yin Sect, with a rebellious and violent personality. He has offended several major sects."

"I guess he must have provoked some anger, leading to several Nascent Soul cultivators joining forces to besiege and kill him."

"And what about the escaped Tongxin Devils? The killing move of Nascent Soul cultivators, can we, with our cultivation levels in the early to mid Foundation Establishment stage, deal with them?"

Lu Xuan nodded gently, continuing to inquire.

"I've heard about the Tongxin Devils. It is said that the refining method is extremely vicious."

"You need to find five infants with single spiritual roots of the five elements. During their gestation, turn their mothers into containers of evil by infusing them with Yin energy. Then, use the blood and souls of thousands of infants to nourish them. Finally, after a long period of refining, you can obtain five powerful infant ghosts full of resentment, which can be used to refine the magical treasure of the Tongxin Devils."

"It is indeed harmful, no wonder he, at the Nascent Soul stage, ended up being besieged and killed."

Lu Xuan sighed upon hearing this.

From the Linyang Fang Market to entering the Sky Sword Sect, Lu Xuan had only fought a few times. For a while, he couldn't imagine such a cruel scene.

"When the Tongxin Devils merge, their strength is formidable. After separating, their strength is estimated to be equivalent to the early or mid Foundation Establishment stage."

"If they flow into the scattered cultivation cities or markets, in order to replenish their blood and souls, it is likely to cause countless killings. Star Yuan City belongs to the border area of the sect, so it's no wonder the sect is placing so much importance on it, organizing inner disciples to go and exterminate the demonic heads."

"Senior brothers and sisters, shall we go together to deal with these Tongxin Devils?"

"Let's go, let's go."

"Being able to eliminate demons and uphold justice, and also having the opportunity to get a fourth-grade flying sword, naturally, we should go and have a look."

"Junior brother Lu, what do you think?"

"Me?"

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said,

"I, as a junior brother who recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage, have limited strength. It's more suitable to leave the demonic eradication to you senior brothers and sisters."

Leave the demon eradication to you all; I'd rather focus on farming.
