I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Chapter 100: Sword Cleaning Pool, Thousand Dragon Lake_l

Translator: 549690339

The diamond-shaped flying boat moves swiftly between mountains and lakes.

Every place the Sky Sword Sect Cultivator passed, they enthusiastically introduced it to Lu Xuan and others.

“In every aspect, the Sky Sword Sect is not inferior to other sects. It excels and stands out in swordsmanship, surpassing other sects by more than one level.

“Speaking of the Sword Cleaning Pool, it nurtures infinite Sword Qi. After immersing a Flying Sword Artifact into it, it can condense Sword Intent, remove minor impurities from the flying sword, and make it more pure.

“During the forging of sword implements, adding a bit of water from the Sword Cleaning Pool has the minor benefit of increasing the success rate.

The good-looking and upright Sky Sword Sect Cultivator pointed down at a pool as he spoke. Lu Xuan glanced over and saw light shimmering off the swords in the pool, along with waves pulsating. Even in the high altitude, he could sense a sharp Sword Intent.

“This is the Falling Sword Peak which houses countless flying swords left behind by our predecessors of Sky Sword Sect. Many are of high grade with strong spiritual nature.”

“If you junior brothers and sisters are fortunate and skilled in swordsmanship, you could go to the Falling Sword Peak and try your luck. You might even find a rare sword implement.”

The Sky Sword Sect cultivator pointed at a passing tall peak as he spoke.

The massive mountain peak is several hundred feet high, and occasionally sword resonance echoes through it like the growls of dragons and tigers.

“This is the Dueling Sword Pavilion, made of superior bluestone. Even a Jindan Cultivator would struggle to cause significant damage here. It's the perfect place to exchange martial arts and Formula Methods.”

The Dueling Sword Pavilion was partially concealed by a cloud, making it appear very mysterious.

“Brother, may I ask if there are any special places within the Sect for planting spirit plants and nurturing spirit beasts?”

Lu Xuan curiously asked.

“Of course, there are. Some of our elders are experts in alchemy and have rich experience and unique knowledge on the cultivation of Spirit Beast Spirit Plants. There are also plenty of landscapes within the sect reserved for such cultivation.”

The upright Cultivator responded with a smile.

“As you can see, we are approaching the huge lake that stretches for tens of miles, known as Thousand Dragon Lake. As the name suggests, it is home to many flood dragons, pythons, and other creatures. Most of them are of the second rank, with dozens or hundreds of third rank and above.”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but gasp. A third-rank Demonic Beast is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage in the Cultivation World. Given that there are only a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Linyang Market, this huge lake can easily crush the whole Linyang Market with its strength. And this is just one cultivation base for nurturing spirit beasts in the Sky Sword

Sect.

Comparing these, he understood an easily comprehensible version of the so-called foundation of the sect.

The flying boat skimmed over the Thousand Dragon Lake. A huge two-headed black flood dragon attacked abruptly from the lake; it was blocked by a transparent Spiritual Energy Shield above the lake and fell back into the water.

It appeared to trigger a chain reaction, causing the calm lake surface to suddenly be engulfed in huge waves. Various flood dragons, pythons, and other creatures struggled to come out, before falling back into the lake.

“All junior brothers and sisters need not worry. There are strong restrictions set up around the Thousand Dragon Lake; these flood dragons and pythons cannot break out.

Moreover, every young flood dragon and python is restrained by a magic artifact. If they sense any movements, they can easily control them through

the artifact.”

On the edge of the distant lake, three Sky Sword Sect Cultivators were throwing large chunks of fresh monster meat into the Thousand Dragon Lake. As soon as they dropped them, they were fiercely contested by the numerous ferocious flood dragons and pythons.

Lu Xuan looked at this sight and was reminded of a memory from his past life where he fed koi. However, the scene before him was countless times larger.

“Those fellow disciples there must have been assigned the sect task of feeding the demon beasts in Thousand Dragon Lake,” said a cultivator with an upright

aura.

“Once you become an Outer Sect Disciple, apart from certain times, you are mostly free.”

“You can cultivate cultivation techniques and formula methods, study alchemy, array, and charms, and occasionally, Foundation Establishment cultivators or even Core Formation cultivators from different peaks will give lectures to enlighten us. This is considered the greatest intangible wealth obtained after becoming an Outer Sect Disciple of the Sky Sword Sect.”

“Of course, while enjoying these rights, you must also bear responsibilities.

The sect assigns various tasks to all disciples.”

“There are simple and safe tasks like cultivating spiritual plants, raising spirit beasts, assisting in the creation of elixirs and magic artifacts, and handling materials for charms.”

“These tasks are basically safe, but there are also riskier tasks, such as getting rid of demon beasts and demon envoys, and collecting special spiritual medicine in secret lands. These tasks often promise substantial rewards.” “You can choose tasks freely, but there are also tasks assigned by the sect or the elders of the mentor. If you refuse to do them for a long time or refuse tasks repeatedly, you may receive some punishment.”

“After completing the tasks, you can receive something called a 'Sword Mark, which serves as a special currency in the Sky Sword Sect. It can be earned not only by completing tasks but also by making special contributions to the sect or establishing a merit.”

“Sword Marks can be exchanged for various things, including cultivation techniques, magic artifacts, elixirs, charms, and even spirit stones, though it's generally not done that way.”

The well-faced cultivator explained to Lu Xuan and others in detail. Some already knew this, while others were hearing it for the first time.

Lu Xuan was listening with great interest and etching every word into his memory.

A moment later, the shuttle-shaped flying boat stopped at a lush mountain peak where elegant buildings were scattered across the mountainside. “Fellow brothers and sisters, there are a few days left before your official induction into the sect. In these few days, you can rest and cultivate here,” said the upright cultivator.

“But remember not to wander around arbitrarily. You all don't have a disciple identity plaque yet. There are formation restrictions set up all around the sect, and forcefully entering might cause unnecessary trouble. You could even be injured or lose your lives. If you need anything, feel free to ask me or other sect cultivators.”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. After the Sky Sword Sect cultivator left, they each chose a room and went inside to rest.

Lu Xuan didn't pick and choose. He found a quiet and secluded room. He spent his days reading and cultivating, occasionally engaging in chats with Baih Jianqing, who lived next door.”

As for the spirit beast and spirit plant in his Life Bag, he was impatient yet he had no place to settle them, so he had no choice but to leave them in the Life

Bag.

During this time, he also met the young talents that had accompanied him. After a simple interaction and learning about Lu Xuan's humble origins and his inclination towards the path of spiritual plants, the formerly enthusiastic cultivators became chilly. Only two or three cultivators remained the same towards him.

In the cultivation world, cultivation level is the right way. Therefore, after hearing Lu Xuan's plans, everyone quickly concluded that he would soon fall behind on the path of cultivation.

In addition, the status of a Spirit Plant Master is at the bottom of the cultivation skills hierarchy, far lesser than an alchemist or an array master. Thus, it was natural for Lu Xuan to be overlooked and even looked down upon.

Lu Xuan didn't mind though. With the white light cluster, he had more confidence than those talented cultivators with extraordinary backgrounds present there.

No matter what the outside world thought, he only needed to concentrate on his farming..
