You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 309: Wind and Thunder Sword

Back in the courtyard, gazing at the thriving spirit plants in the spiritual field, Lu Xuan felt considerably at ease.

Although he had changed his living environment, the welcoming ceremony for the Wind Falcon remained the same.

Sensing Lu Xuan's presence, a streak of green light flashed, and the soft belly landed on Lu Xuan's head, enveloping his entire body.

Chirping crisply, expressing its intense longing for Lu Xuan.

"A day's absence, and you're like this."

Helpless about his reliance on the Wind Falcon, Lu Xuan pinched its soft belly a few times before lifting it off the ground with one hand.

Not far away, the increasingly mysterious and unpredictable Cloud-Stepping Lynx, with its four thick cloud-like paws, landed silently and elegantly beside Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan approached and tugged at the tufts of gray-white fur on its pointed ears.

"Roar..."

The Cloud-Stepping Lynx grumbled dissatisfiedly, seven parts discontent and three parts playfulness, staring with a pair of emerald green eyes before silently departing.

Lu Xuan arrived at the courtyard and began unpacking his gains from this trip.

First was the Grade Three Profound Primordial Water. As soon as it came out of the storage bag, Lu Xuan's hand, as sturdy as a Grade Three magical item, couldn't help but sink downwards.

He opened the bottle, controlled the spiritual energy, and a drop of dark liquid floated in front of him.

As soon as he released his control, the dark liquid plummeted at high speed, smashing into the ground and creating a small circular pit in the spiritual soil. The liquid remained at the bottom of the pit, showing no signs of dispersion.

"As expected, dripping water can penetrate a stone."

Lu Xuan murmured to himself, took out the drop of Profound Primordial Water, and put it back into the white jade bottle.

This was a crucial ingredient for cultivating the Grade Five Dragon Bone Grass after he returned to the Sky Sword Sect.

Next, he performed the Earth Attraction technique, controlling the structure of the spiritual soil in the courtyard. Within moments, he dug out a huge pond.

Then, he took out the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp fry and the Rock Shell Turtle egg from the Life-Preserving Bag.

As soon as the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp fry was placed into the pond, the huge deep-blue fish tail slapped against the water, creating layers of waves, displaying a proud and unruly demeanor.

"The little guy is quite proud."

Lu Xuan sighed.

"Although you're a Grade Three variant of the Dragon Carp with much more true dragon bloodline than others of the same kind, in the Thousand Dragon Lake, you're just a little brother."

In the Thousand Dragon Lake, there were all kinds of dragons and carps, and there were countless creatures stronger than this Azure-Horned Dragon Carp.

Not to mention, just the Grade Three Flame Carp in the cave alone might not be weaker than the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp.

However, he still needed to stay on the Empty Abyss Island for another two and a half years, so he could just pass the time by raising this Azure-Horned Dragon Carp.

Once the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp calmed down, Lu Xuan made a contract with it, making it his spiritual beast.

Then, he turned his attention to the Grade Three Rock Shell Turtle egg he had obtained from the auction.

The turtle egg seemed very heavy and bulky, indicating that hatching it would not be easy. Of course, it could also be foreseen that the Grade Three Rock Shell Turtle hatched from it would have extremely strong defense.

Lu Xuan called the Wind Falcon over and instructed, "I'll leave this turtle egg to you for incubation. Spend less time outside these days and focus on hatching the egg in the courtyard."

The Wind Falcon flapped its light blue wings, chirping incessantly, showing a reluctant expression.

"Don't be like this. It's not safe on the sea recently, so staying in the courtyard is for your own good."

Having experienced hatching the Flame Carp, the Wind Falcon was already quite proficient and obediently perched on the Rock Shell Turtle egg.

"Squawk!"

(But this egg is too hard on my belly.)

From its crisp chirping, Lu Xuan understood its meaning.

"Just endure it for a while. When it hatches, I'll let you play with the Rock Shell Turtle demon beast."

Lu Xuan casually reassured it and then went to inspect all the spirit plants' growth states in the spiritual field.

After several months of planting, the Water Fire Grass was thriving, full of vitality.

Lu Xuan's spiritual power surged, and strands of spiritual rain fell, penetrating the plants according to each Water Fire Grass's needs, allowing them to absorb fully.

This was the key to his breakthrough to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so he couldn't afford to be careless.

After nurturing the Water Fire Grass, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the spiritual field.

The Grade Four Profound Insect Vine, Earth Fire Heart Lotus, and Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood were all in the mature stage, and it wouldn't take long before they harvested the white light orbs.

The Grade Two Common Sword Grass, Grade Three Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, Grade Three Starlight Sword Grass were all growing well. Lu Xuan took the opportunity to review the Starlight Sword Art and the Sword Thousand Harrier Art.

In addition, a Grade Three Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, specially transplanted from the Sky Sword Sect, had a translucent progress bar under the plant, which was about to reach full.

"A Grade Three Wind and Thunder Sword Grass. I wonder what rewards I'll receive."

Lu Xuan anticipated, and countless small gusts of wind and thunderous sword energy surged from his dantian, nurturing the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass.

Several days passed, and everything on the Empty Abyss Island remained calm.

Lu Xuan received a white jade talisman in his courtyard.

With no reaction from the Pure Jade or the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, Lu Xuan took the talisman calmly.

After activating his spiritual power, he heard a familiar voice from inside.

"Master Lu, the weather is calm today, perfect for sea fishing. How about coming over to catch some sea fish?"

It was the fishing enthusiast Shi Zhong from the Stone Mountain Sect. When it came to fishing, his attitude unconsciously became much humbler, addressing Lu Xuan as "master."

"I'm currently cultivating a rare spiritual plant with all my efforts, and it's about to mature. It will take a lot of time and effort, so I don't have the leisure to come out."

"Next time for sure!"

He input a message into the talisman with his spiritual power and let the talisman fly away.

"This Shi Zhong has absolutely no sense of danger. Even when there are signs of evil spirits, he's only focused on going out fishing."

"Who knows, he might just catch an evil spirit one day."

Lu Xuan sighed and continued his inspection in the spiritual field.

"Huh, the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass is finally fully matured."

Looking at the progress bar of the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, which was completely full, Lu Xuan felt a trace of excitement.

His palm, as clear as crystal, gripped the sharp grass carefully, pulling it out.

The Wind and Thunder Sword Grass was about three feet long, with many faint runes resembling thunder on its body. Countless strands of black sword qi surrounded it, like a black hurricane emitting bursts of sword cries.

Lu Xuan's mind focused on the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, instantly gaining detailed information about it.

[Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, Grade Three spiritual plant, nurtured and cultivated with gusts of wind and thunderous sword energy. It possesses the power of wind and thunder in its body, a natural sword, and can also be refined into corresponding flying swords.]

"Good quality, not bad."

Lu Xuan gave a simple evaluation and then focused on the white light orb that appeared.

He took a deep breath and gently touched the surface of the light orb.

Countless tiny lights exploded, and strands of sword qi as fine as hair instantly poured into Lu Xuan's body.

[Harvested one Grade Three Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, obtained a Grade Four Flying Sword Wind and Thunder Sword.]

A thought flashed through his mind, and a mysterious flying sword appeared in his hand.

The flying sword was seventy percent similar to the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, but it looked more exquisite, with many mysterious and obscure runes engraved on its blade.

When Lu Xuan's spiritual power penetrated the flying sword, wind and thunder roared, and various phenomena emerged.

With a gentle wave, gusts of wind and thunderous sword qi shot out instantly.
