You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 286: Second Talent, Leave an Order

"You... where have you been all these years?"

"After returning from that new secret realm, I never saw you again. I thought something had happened to you."

The thin old man's body trembled slightly. He had always treated Lu Xuan as his own nephew, and when he suddenly disappeared back then, he couldn't calm his mind for a long time.

"He Lao, when I returned from the secret realm, I was noticed by a disciple of a major sect, which gave me the opportunity to join the sect. In addition, there was an unexpected incident of evil attack in the secret realm. To avoid trouble from the Wang family vortex, I hurried to the sect."

Feeling the strong concern in the old man's tone, Lu Xuan said with a hint of apology.

He sensed a wave of fluctuations and immediately said to the thin old man, "He Lao, let's find another place to chat. It's too noisy here."

"It's him! He deliberately brought spiritual plants to Hundred Herbs Hall to cause trouble for me and drive me out!"

The middle-aged cultivator, with a condescending look, approached the hall with two high-level Qi cultivators.

After hearing Lu Xuan's words, he suddenly understood that Lu Xuan was teasing him. Out of embarrassment, he angrily summoned two high-level Qi cultivators who were responsible for maintaining the order of Hundred Herbs Hall, in case someone caused trouble.

Then, his spiritual energy surged, and a chilly white sword aura shot out from his fingertips.

The sword aura, like a silk ribbon, surrounded the two high-level Qi cultivators and the middle-aged cultivator. Suddenly, they felt countless icy sword auras piercing through their skin and entering their blood and flesh.

As the cold spread, their bodies seemed to freeze, their movements slowed, and a thin layer of frost appeared on their skin and hair.

However, even colder than their blood and bones was their hearts. Having lived in the central area of the market for decades, they had decent vision and experience.

They immediately understood what Lu Xuan's move meant.

With a simple sword aura, Lu Xuan immobilized two high-level Qi cultivators, indicating that he was at least several realms higher in sword comprehension and cultivation level.

There was only one possibility: the young man in front of them was at the Foundation Establishment realm!

Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but feel inexplicably shocked.

"Consider it a mild punishment. Resolve it yourselves."

Lu Xuan casually said and left Hundred Herbs Hall with He Lao.

His simple move of sword aura with exquisite control, it immobilized the two high-level Qi cultivators, indicating that Lu Xuan was at least at the Foundation Establishment realm.

He Lao, as the steward of Hundred Herbs Hall, although his status was not as high as before, he still had a decent courtyard in the central area of the market.

"Lu Xuan, have you reached Foundation Establishment?"

He Lao took a few deep breaths and asked tentatively.

He knew the backgrounds of the two guards very well. Lu Xuan easily subdued them with a single move, indicating that he must be at the Foundation Establishment realm.

"Yes, I can now be considered a Foundation Establishment expert."

"How about that? Is this surprise satisfactory?"

Lu Xuan restored some of his youthful demeanor in front of He Lao, jokingly.

"You've reached Foundation Establishment and still haven't changed."

This action made He Lao feel much more familiar, as if he had returned to the past. He couldn't help but laugh and scold.

"But, your surprise is really extraordinary, making this old man's heart unable to calm down."

The old man patted his chest and said.

He couldn't imagine that the poor Qi cultivator from before had become a Foundation Establishment expert in just under ten years. The contrast between the two was too great.

It should be noted that among the several forces in Linyang Fang Market, the highest cultivation level was that of the alchemist in Hundred Herbs Hall, who was also at the Foundation Establishment realm.

In other words, the young man in front of him was now on equal footing with the revered alchemist in Hundred Herbs Hall?

Lu Xuan saw that He Lao couldn't calm down for a long time and chuckled.

"He Lao, do you still remember when you introduced me to Hundred Herbs Hall and established a cooperative relationship? After that, I suddenly discovered that I had a good talent for cultivating spiritual plants. It seemed that I could naturally sense the vitality of spiritual plants."

Lu Xuan reminisced.

He and He Lao established a relatively free cooperative relationship with Hundred Herbs Hall as Lu Xuan brought batches of higher-quality Firefly Grasses. Later, Lu Xuan even cultivated Firefly Grasses of perfect quality and rescued many corrupted spiritual plants in the market, which benefited both of them greatly.

At that time, due to the commendation of Lu Xuan's contributions, he received a lot of praise in Hundred Herbs Hall.

"After that, I met a disciple of a major sect in the secret realm and found that I had cultivated a unique spiritual plant in the sect. He gave me the opportunity to join the sect. With this opportunity, I successfully entered the sect and gradually reached where I am now."

Lu Xuan continued.

"These years, you've worked hard."

He Lao said with a heavy tone. He could imagine how many difficulties Lu Xuan had encountered on his way from a nobody to a Foundation Establishment expert in less than ten years.

"Not hard at all." Lu Xuan shook his head.

"Just diligent cultivation day and night, cultivating spiritual plants with effort, and exchanging all the spiritual pills that can improve my cultivation. Then, I luckily broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm."

He described himself as very diligent and hardworking.

But He Lao thought he was only reporting good news without mentioning any difficulties, turning all his hardships into minor issues, and kept sighing.

He even made Lu Xuan doubt himself a bit.

The two chatted about past events, laughing or sighing as they reminisced.

Half a day later, Lu Xuan saw that it was getting late and stood up to bid farewell to He Lao.

"He Lao, I came out this time with a task from the sect. I missed you, so I came to visit. Now, it's time for me to leave."

"Here are a few small gifts that may be useful to you or your descendants."

"This spirit fruit can improve your physique, but its medicinal properties are too strong. With your mid-level Qi cultivation level, you can't consume too much at once."

"This bead is called the Flameburst Bead. It can instantly erupt into a large area of scorching flames. In case of danger, you can directly throw it out."

"There is also this talisman called the Cleansing Spirit Talisman. If you encounter any evil spirits, it can purify and disperse them, causing great harm even to evil spirits of the Ghostly level."

"Finally, this token is called the Azure Cloud Token. Holding this token, when you join the Sky Sword Sect, you can save a lot of trouble and increase your chances of success."

"If you have any outstanding talents among your descendants, you can take this token to the Sky Sword Sect."

Lu Xuan said, and a red stone bead, a jade-white talisman, a spirit fruit wrapped in layers of jade skin, and a light blue token floated towards He Lao.
