You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 319: Mid-Foundation Establishment

In the small courtyard.

A pure white talisman trembled outside the formation, shaking incessantly.

Lu Xuan sensed the commotion outside and swept his spiritual awareness, guiding the talisman to float in front of him.

A familiar voice came from the talisman.

"Friend Lu, it's me. Zhou and I have found third-grade Gathering Spirit Essence on that unnamed island and were about to return when we sensed abnormal spiritual energy in the sea area, so we changed course halfway."

"In the end, we found a huge water curtain in the sea area, seemingly concealing a hidden realm. Therefore, we invited you to come and explore the realm together."

"Friend Lu, rare opportunities like this must not be missed."

Finally, Shi Zhong spoke earnestly.

He was not worried that Lu Xuan's participation would affect his own gains.

With the appearance of the secret realm causing a stir in the surrounding sea areas, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators who knew about it would only increase over time. Lu Xuan and him had similar identities and had some friendship, so working together would increase their chances of obtaining the opportunities in the realm.

"It's a pity that true intentions are often misunderstood."

Lu Xuan sighed. After a moment of contemplation, he politely declined.

"Sorry, Friend Shi, I currently have no intention of exploring the secret realm. If I decide to go, I will contact both of you immediately."

Lu Xuan had no desire for the newly emerged secret realm in the boundless sea. With the existence of luminous orbs, he didn't need to compete fiercely like other cultivators, risking life and death for a chance.

"When my strength grows stronger, and when I see that there are no major threats in the secret realm, I can accept going to take a look."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The news about the secret realm appearing in the boundless sea spread more intensely. The next day, Song Yu came to seek advice.

"Elder Lu, have you heard about the secret realm appearing in the outer sea?" As soon as he entered Lu Xuan's courtyard, Song Yu couldn't wait to ask.

"I've heard something. Why? Are you thinking of getting involved?" Lu Xuan responded casually.

"Yes, indeed."

The elegant cultivator admitted truthfully.

Upon hearing that Lu Xuan had only heard about it, he quickly took out a second-grade Water Mirror talisman from his storage bag.

"Elder, this Water Mirror talisman has some images of the secret realm engraved on it. Please take a look."

A trace of spiritual power penetrated the Water Mirror talisman, and clear images of the secret realm appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

A tall water wall, stretching for miles, with numerous illusory dragons and beasts dancing on it. Inside, one could vaguely see an island and a palace on it.

Outside the water wall, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny black dots flying around. Upon closer inspection, they were cultivators moving back and forth.

"With so many people, including Foundation Establishment cultivators from the island and powerful cultivators who came from elsewhere upon hearing the news, what makes your Song family think you can snatch opportunities from among them?"

Although the island where the Empty Abyss Island was located was cold and barren, with sparse spiritual energy and closed-off information, there were still no fewer than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. Combined with the cultivators attracted from other places by the news, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators could be imagined.

Song Yu smiled wryly.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan, who had reached the Foundation Establishment realm and came from a prestigious sect, the Song family's strength would probably be among the lowest. They really didn't have the confidence to compete with other cultivators and factions.

"But such a rare opportunity, if missed, would be too regrettable."

He couldn't help but express his thoughts to Lu Xuan.

"I'm not telling you not to go explore the secret realm. I just hope you can be more patient."

"On the water wall, there are obviously formations and restrictions surrounding the secret realm. If you go now, you'll only end up like a headless fly, wasting your own vitality."

"Wait until the situation is clear; it's not too late to go then."

"Yes, what Elder Lu said makes sense."

Song Yu nodded heavily, admitting that Lu Xuan's words were reasonable.

But just thinking that the secret realm could be broken at any moment, and that the treasures and opportunities inside might be swept away by other cultivators, made him feel like scratching his heart with a hundred claws.

After bidding farewell to Lu Xuan, Song Yu left with an anxious and hesitant expression.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan shook his head helplessly and continued to patrol the spiritual field, inspecting the cultivation of spiritual plants.

Zhongning Island.

"The heavens bless our Ning family! The heavens bless our Ning family!!!"

In a luxurious hall, Ning Deshan, with a gloomy face, couldn't help but sigh deeply.

At his feet, Mrs. Ning, with her perfect figure, fell to the ground, revealing her exquisite curves.

"Congratulations, ancestor! The Ning family finally has a chance to change its fate!"

She raised her head slightly, her breath fragrant, and spoke softly.

"Yes, the appearance of the secret realm means a chance for a reshuffle. As long as we seize it, we can sweep away our decline and revive the glory of the Ning family."

Ning Deshan, with his eagle-like claws, pinched Mrs. Ning's white chin, speaking harshly.

Recently, the Ning family had been experiencing difficulties.

After unexpectedly obtaining the Formless Algae in the sea area where they bred spiritual fish, they thought they could quietly attract the spiritual fish into their own waters.

But unexpectedly, their attempt failed, and the Song family on the Empty Abyss Island did not encounter any trouble. Instead, a large number of Formless Algae mysteriously appeared on Zhongning Island, driving almost all of their spiritual fish to other places to breed and multiply.

However, misfortune never comes alone. Due to the intrusion of evil insects, with the delayed information and inadequate preparation, a large number of Ning family cultivators died, causing heavy losses.

With two incidents occurring successively, the already precarious Ning family was even worse off.

But now, there was a chance to change their situation.

As long as they delved into the newly emerged secret realm, fought for their lives, and obtained the treasures and opportunities from within, it was very likely that they would sweep away their troubles and regain new life.

"Perhaps we can even obtain treasures to extend our lifespan!"

Ning Deshan optimistically thought.

...

"I, Lu Xuan, have reached this stage today all through my own efforts and hard work in cultivation."

"Water Firefly Grass, increase my cultivation!"

Lu Xuan reached out and touched the surface of a white luminous orb, speaking softly.

Before his words fell, the luminous orb turned into countless tiny light spots, rushing into his body.

A strong and pure spiritual energy was spontaneously generated in his meridians.

At his feet, a small spiritual energy vortex quietly formed, gathering a large amount of spiritual energy from the courtyard, merging into the vortex.

Lu Xuan operated the Grand Five Elements Technique, controlling the spiritual energy and inputting it all into his dantian.

A large amount of spiritual energy gathered into a drop

of condensed spiritual liquid, slowly dripping into the depths of his dantian.

He continued to touch one white luminous orb after another, and the orbs continuously flowed into his body, bringing him cultivation, talismans, pills, and various rewards.

After nearly a year, the Water Firefly Grass he planted finally reached maturity.

Drops of spiritual liquid dripped into his dantian, and Lu Xuan felt his dantian suddenly expand several times. His spiritual awareness soared into the sky and returned to his body in an instant.

"I've reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

Feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
