I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

"Low Rank Divine Ability!"

Lu Xuan's heart filled with joy.

At last, another divine ability had emerged from the light cluster.

The Soul Sucking Blood Palm divine ability he had previously uncovered was somewhat nefarious in its cultivation method, and since it could lead to mutation of the practitioner, he had not tried to cultivate it and was looking for an opportunity to sell it.

He always believed that with so many high-rank spirit plants in the cave mansion's spiritual field, he would surely be able to uncover even rarer and more powerful divine abilities.

And today, his wish was fulfilled.

He pressed the silver white jade slip against his forehead, his spiritual sense seeping in to carefully comprehend the divine ability's cultivation method within.

"This Five Thunder Righteous Divine Ability is indeed another powerful attack method for me, capable of harnessing the power of the Five Elements Thunder to bombard the target, particularly effective against dark and demonic creatures."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The remaining five Five Thunder Lotus plants had all reached full maturity, and he estimated that he would be able to harvest the light cluster within a month or two, so he wasn't in a hurry to use the Divine Wood Green Gourd to hasten their maturity.

For the next half month, he stayed within his cave mansion.

Although he did not need to go into secluded cultivation, his days were still extremely fulfilling: cultivating spiritual plants, raising spirit beasts, and comprehending various cultivation techniques and divine abilities from the light clusters.

"Senior Lu, this junior from Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, Liao Chong, has had the fortune of meeting you several times before, and has specifically come to deliver Black Metal Wood saplings to you."

That day, while he was observing the spirit plants, a deep voice came from outside his cave mansion.

His spiritual sense swept over the area and Lu Xuan found a middle-aged cultivator with a steady temperament standing outside the cave mansion.

The cultivator, possessing a cultivation of the foundation establishment late-term, stood respectfully with his head bowed, waiting outside the abode.

"The seed-bringer has arrived."

A slight smile appeared on Lu Xuan's lips.

When he last went to the commerce association branch to deal with the outer domain spiritual plants, he had inquired about Black Metal Wood saplings from a female cultivator with the surname Wen, and learned that the branch had none.

Before leaving, he had asked her to keep an eye out for him, to collect Black Metal Wood saplings from other branches, but it appeared the female cultivator had taken it upon herself to go a step further and had someone bring them directly to his cave mansion.

"That saves me quite a bit of effort."

Lu Xuan was quite satisfied with the proactive approach of the female cultivator and, with a flash, appeared outside the cave abode.

"Greetings, Senior Lu!"

The middle-aged cultivator noticed Lu Xuan's figure and bowed deeply as he greeted him.

"So it's Daoist Liao, you've taken the trouble."

Lu Xuan replied indifferently. He had some recollection of this cultivator, having seen him a few times during visits to the commerce association branch.

"Senior Lu, these are the ten Black Metal Wood saplings given to me by Master Wen for your approval."

The middle-aged cultivator gestured, and ten dark, straight saplings appeared before him, exactly the kind that Lu Xuan had planted before.

"The quality is quite decent."

Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

He had specifically gone to collect these Black Metal Wood saplings because his aim was naturally to gain a few more "Essentials of Hundred Refinements" experience packages, to improve his instrument refining level.

"How many spirit stones are needed for these ten Black Metal Wood saplings?"

He asked, pointing to the saplings below.

"As Master Wen said, each sapling is four thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones."

The middle-aged cultivator said with his head bowed.

"Here are four hundred and fifty middle-grade spirit stones, please have a look."

A pile of spirit stones, full of spiritual radiance, was presented before the cultivator.

He had no objections to the price; had he purchased them from elsewhere, the cost in spirit stones would undoubtedly have been much higher.

"Junior has counted them, the number of spirit stones is correct."

The middle-aged cultivator carefully stored the pile of middle-grade spirit stones in front of Lu Xuan.

"Having come such a distance, would you like to come in and sit inside my Cave Abode?"

Lu Xuan asked with a smile.

"I wouldn't dare to disturb Senior's cultivation. I will take my leave now,"

Liao Chong hastily replied. Lu Xuan's Cultivation Level was a whole major realm higher than his, and he also held the respected position of Commerce Association Guest Elder. Fearing to cause the slightest displeasure, he naturally lacked the courage to enter Lu Xuan's Cave Mansion.

"Very well, I won't insist. Here, take these Spirit Fruits with you to enjoy on your way back."

Seeing his determined attitude, Lu Xuan did not press further. He gave Liao Chong several Ice Fire Spirit Fruits as compensation for bringing the seedlings over.

"Thank you, Senior Lu!"

Liao Chong was flattered and didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so approachable. He carefully held the Spirit Fruits in his hands, afraid they might drop to the ground.

Afterward, he bid farewell to Lu Xuan, mounted a Three Grade Flying Sword, and entered the boundless realm filled with faint thunder light.

"Master Wen is rather enthusiastic after all."

Lu Xuan entered his Cave Mansion, planted the young Black Metal Wood saplings into the Spirit Soil, and after casting the Spirit Rain Technique, he couldn't help but express his thoughts aloud.

He had only mentioned in passing that he would like the female cultivator to keep an eye out for the saplings, intending to purchase them the next time he visited. He had not expected Master Wen to be so efficient, gathering enough Black Metal Wood saplings and delivering them to his Cave Mansion without delay.

"Once I obtain a few more Refining Instrument Experience Packages, I'll probably barely qualify as a Refining Master."

Lu Xuan thought to himself and went to the Spirit Field Area layered with Silver White Thundersand.

"Two more Five Thunder Lotus flowers have matured."

Lu Xuan carefully picked the five-colored lotus flowers and stored them in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

Two white Light Clusters almost simultaneously emerged quietly.

Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and gently touched one of them.

The Light Cluster shattered into countless tiny specks of light, coalescing into a slender river of light that surged into Lu Xuan's body in an instant.

[You have harvested a fifth-rank Five Thunder Lotus, and obtained the Low Rank Divine Ability Five Thunder Righteous Method.]

As the thought flashed through, a vast amount of information poured into depths of his Sea of Consciousness—it was the Five Thunder Righteous Divine Ability from before.

Sequences of scenes flickered past like a swiftly changing lantern show, as if a cultivator was demonstrating the Five Thunder Righteous Method repeatedly within his Sea of Consciousness.

How to circulate the Spiritual Power, how to better invoke the Spirit Thunder, how to maximize its destructive power…

"I didn't expect that this time the knowledge wouldn't appear in the form of a Jade Slip, but rather is being directly infused into my Sea of Consciousness."

Having assimilated the vast information from his Sea of Consciousness, Lu Xuan came back to his senses, and with a thought, five-colored thunder light appeared above his head, moving like serpents. Wherever it went, the roar of thunder was heard, as if it were about to pour down at any moment.

"Hmm, I've initially mastered the Five Thunder Righteous Method, a Low Rank Divine Ability."

"In about half a month, I've mastered a Low Rank Divine Ability from scratch. I truly am a cultivation genius."

"It's just that all my talent is focused on the Spirit Plant Spheres."

Lu Xuan said to himself, thickening his skin with the thought.

With joy in his heart and anticipation, he went on to gently touch the remaining white Light Cluster.

The Light Cluster silently shattered, like fireworks exploding, and countless tiny specks of light soared into the sky.

Quickly, the light points condensed into a silhouette of wings in the air, which then instantly merged into Lu Xuan's body.

Soon after, a thought briefly flitted through his Sea of Consciousness.

[You have harvested a fifth-rank Five Thunder Lotus, and obtained a Six-product treasure, the Scolding Thunder Wing (1/2).]

As the thought vanished, half of a pair of Silver White Wings appeared before Lu Xuan.

The wings, over half a zhang long with smooth flowing lines, shimmered with radiant Spiritual light, and bursts of thunder flickered continuously, hinting at terrifying power of thunder and lightning contained within.

Lu Xuan focused on the Silver White Wings, and in an instant, he learned the detailed information about them.

[Scolding Thunder Wing, a Six-product treasure, crafted by a Primordial Infant True Monarch from the feathers of a slain Scolding Thunder Monster Roc, making it an exquisite treasure.]

[The Magic Artifact contains a remnant of the Scolding Thunder Monster Roc's innate Divine Skills and, once cultivated, can be equivalent to a Sixth Grade velocity-type Magic Artifact that can instantly traverse a thousand li.]
