You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 299: Moonlight Pearl

Exposing the mastermind behind the scenes would make everything easier to resolve.

Regardless of how the Song Family might seek revenge, after learning about the highest combat power of the Ning Family on Zhongning Island, Lu Xuan conceived the idea of treating them as they treated him.

Though the Ning Family's disruption of the waters did not directly harm his interests, Zhongning Island was ultimately under the jurisdiction of the sect, and as a resident cultivator, Lu Xuan's presence there was to ensure the island's peace and stability.

If this matter remained unresolved, it would be difficult for him to explain upon his return to the Sky Sword Sect, greatly affecting his reputation within the sect.

When separating the Formless Algae in the waters, as the methods employed were not overly aggressive, although many spiritual plants were somewhat damaged by the flames, their essence was not compromised. After nurturing them back in the Lingtian for a few days, they returned to their former state.

Leaving them in the Lingtian wouldn't bring any reward orbs, so Lu Xuan planned to release them into the Ning Family's waters.

Song Yu hurriedly arrived and then left in haste. After Song Yu departed, Lu Xuan gathered all the Formless Algae into his Life-Containing Bag.

The night was dark and windy.

In the Ning Family's waters, three mid-level Qi cultivators yawned as they patrolled the area.

"I wonder what the Patriarch is thinking. Suddenly, he's become so concerned about this area. Usually, just one low-level Qi cultivator patrols here, but now, they've sent the three of us together."

"Yeah, both in terms of quality and quantity, the spiritual fish in this water area are far inferior to those on Empty Abyss Island. I wonder what's worth guarding here."

"I heard from some secret sources that the family will focus on breeding spiritual fish in the future. If that's the case, maybe guarding this place now might lead to a significant position later on."

"Really? Then let's patrol thoroughly."

The three flat boats drifted in different directions.

After a while, Lu Xuan's blurred vision became clear again, countless nearly transparent threads dissipated continuously, returning to the dark-golden Cloak.

Upon nearing the Ning Family's waters, he relied on the Cloak's invisibility ability to silently blend in, unnoticed by Ning Family cultivators.

He took out nearly a hundred Formless Algae from his Life-Containing Bag and poured them into the waters.

The invisible Formless Algae fell into the water, creating subtle ripples, thoroughly blending into the seawater.

"That wandering cultivator being able to obtain the Formless Algae is already extremely fortunate; he shouldn't know how to separate them."

Lu Xuan thought to himself, his spiritual energy surging as his figure gradually became ethereal.

Outside the Ning Family's residence.

Sun Haixing eagerly headed towards the magnificent building, excitement gleaming in his single eye.

Originally an obscure wandering cultivator overseas, he stumbled upon the existence of the Formless Algae while exploring the seabed.

After coming to pledge allegiance to the Ning Family, presenting this rare and precious spiritual plant that parasitized on spiritual fish, with its invisible and intangible characteristics, caught the attention of Lady Ning, raising his status significantly overnight.

After participating in the operation to spread the Formless Algae to the waters of Empty Abyss Island, he could feel his status rising, with wealth and glory seemingly within reach.

"After this is done, I wonder how Lady Ning will reward me. With such accomplishments, could she possibly offer herself to me?"

Sun Haixing thought joyfully, a nameless fire rising in his heart.

Full of pride, amidst the compliments and greetings of Ning Family cultivators, he arrived at the side of the beautiful woman.

"Friend Sun, you've come?"

As soon as he entered, he heard the hoarse voice of the beautiful woman.

A jet-black rope shot out like lightning, binding him tightly and dragging him in front of the beautiful woman.

"Could it be this easy?"

Sun Haixing thought excitedly, but the next words from Lady Ning made his mood plummet.

"Friend Sun, according to what you said, the Formless Algae is solely owned by you, and other cultivators wouldn't even be able to detect it, right?"

"Reporting to Lady Ning, I discovered the Formless Algae by chance in a remote part of the deep sea and cultivated a batch using special methods. Others would find it hard to detect the existence of the Formless Algae."

The one-eyed cultivator spoke cautiously.

"If it's exclusively owned by you and others can't detect it, then why have the spiritual fish in my Ning Family's waters recently started displaying signs of self-mutilation?"

"Could it be that Friend Sun secretly spread the Formless Algae?"

Lady Ning's tone was gentle, but her eyes were icy cold, and the jet-black rope tightened around Sun Haixing, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I've always been loyal to Lady Ning and the Ning Family. How could I stoop to such despicable acts?"

The one-eyed cultivator's face turned red as he tried to defend himself.

"It must be other cultivators who found the Formless Algae. It must be the Song Family, yes, it must be the Song Family who found a way to separate them and came here to frame me!"

Under the influence of the jet-black rope, he felt as if his spiritual power was sinking into a quagmire, and his voice grew weaker.

"Take him away and hand him over to the Law Enforcement Hall."

"Remember to confirm the truth of what he said."

"And, force him to reveal how he discovered and cultivated the Formless Algae, and whether he knows how to separate the plants from the fish."

"Oh, and contact the insider from the Song Family to see what situation they're in now."

Lady Ning stood up and instructed the two black-robed cultivators below.

"Yes!"

The two of them responded in unison, escorting the one-eyed cultivator, Sun Haixing, away.

The moon was cool as water.

After understanding the growth status of the third-grade Moonlit Grass, Lu Xuan came to check on it for several consecutive nights. Finally, he waited until the progress bar below was completely filled.

The silver-white leaves of the Moonlit Grass seemed to be flowing with moonlight, exuding a hint of coldness.

Lu Xuan carefully harvested it. As soon as he touched it, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Moonlit Grass, a third-grade spiritual plant cultivated by absorbing moonlight spiritual energy, greatly beneficial for the growth of demonic beasts. Additionally, it is the main ingredient for many healing elixirs.]

"Beneficial for the growth of demonic beasts... When it's daytime, I can use it to feed the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, Wind Falcon, and Demonic Ghost Vine."

These were the three types of demonic beasts that accompanied him this time, and this mature Moonlit Grass was just right for nurturing them.

Lu Xuan stored the silver-white Moonlit Grass in his storage bag and shifted his focus to the white light sphere that had quietly appeared.

The light sphere flickered faintly, under the moonlight, appearing as though it was condensed from moonlight.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the

light sphere.

In an instant, the light sphere shattered into countless tiny specks of light, as if moonlight was pouring onto his body, silently flowing into him.

[Harvested one Moonlit Grass, a third-grade spiritual plant, and obtained a fourth-grade magical artifact, Moonlight Pearl.]

As the thought passed, a silver-white pearl appeared in his palm.

The pearl was the size of an egg, resembling a full moon, emitting a silver-white glow, exuding a sense of tranquility and serenity.

Holding it in his hand, he could feel a faint moonlight spiritual energy seeping into the palm of his hand, moisturizing every bit of flesh and blood around it.
