After bringing out the Cloud Leopard, Grass Puppet, and the Iron Claw Crab, Lu Xuan quickly proceeded to take out all the spirit plants from the Life Bag.

The directly transplanted Second Grade Qingmiao Spirit Tea and the Copper Bone Bamboo, despite being in the Life Bag for more than a month, were still full of vigor, almost the same as when they were first put in.

As for the Third-grade Phantom Smoke Fruit and the Flood Dragon Vine, whether due to the past two transplantations, or perhaps the effect of the third-grade Life Bag on them being reduced, their vitality was a bit weaker than when they were first put in.

Heart pained, Lu Xuan quickly replanted the Phantom Smoke Fruit and the Flood Dragon Vine in the spirit field.

“In the past, there was a saying about 'Mencius' mother, three moves,' a reference to seeking a better educational environment for her child. Now, I'm relocating you twice hoping that it will benefit from an environment rich in pure spiritual energy.”

“You have to understand my intentions, recover, and grow well.”

Lu Xuan sighed while watering them with the Spirit Rain Technique.

The Phantom Smoke Fruit continuously secreted a white fog, with the fog gradually thickening, hiding the Spirit Fruit within.

Lu Xuan then took out a bottle of Blue Water Python Blood, sprinkling the red-green mixed Snake Blood onto the dry vines of the Flood Dragon Vine. After a period of not being nourished by the snake blood, the hunger of the Flood Dragon Vine increased significantly. It absorbed twice, the usual amount of snake blood, until a bewitching pattern of red and green appeared on the vines, only then did it stop absorbing blood.

Lu Xuan then planted the Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea and the Copper Bone Bamboo respectively.

The Copper Iron Mineral Powder in the storage bag was prepared by the hardworking Iron Claw Crab. He spread a layer of the Copper Iron Mineral Powder around the Copper Bone Bamboo.

He also scooped out a cup of slightly chilly well water from the ancient well, pouring it onto the Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea.

The gnarled tea plant's delicate green leaflets, stimulated by the cold well water, lightly trembled.

After dealing with these transplanted spirit plants halfway through, Lu Xuan took out the Hidden Fog Maze Array. Controlling the movement of the fog on the Array Plate, the entire cavern dwelling was enveloped in dense fog.

With the cover of the formation, Lu Xuan no longer worried about his fellow sect members snooping around his cave.

The dwelling he specifically chose was located on a mountain peak with few fellow sect members. Only a few courtyards were located at the foot of the mountain, and there was one more cave dwelling on the other side of the mountainside. The owner of that cave might have gone out for experience cultivation, Lu Xuan didn't see any traces when he visited.

Although there weren't any demon beasts or evildoers in the Sky Sword Sect, the formation seemed a bit redundant, but Lu Xuan was used to being carefree and lazy, and the spirit field is the foundation of his livelihood. The importance is self-evident, so he decided to activate the formation to prevent possible snooping.

After activating the Hidden Fog Maze Array, Lu Xuan did not rest. He arranged the remaining spirit fields with the Earth Pulling Technique, took out two hundred long, withered Spirit Firefly Grass Seeds, and twenty-eight First Grade Blood Jade Ginseng seeds and planted them one by one.

Only after all these chores were done did he have time to rest. Sitting at the table, he looked over a manual about the sect.

The manual recorded the organizational structure of the sect, various special treasure lands, sect rules and disciplines, and so on.

“Brother Lu, I've come to visit!”

A familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.

It was Baili Jianqing, with whom he had established a certain acquaintance in Sword Gate Town.

Lu Xuan controlled the formation, the fog dispersed to both sides. Opening the courtyard gate, Baili Jianqing swiftly entered.

The two cave dwellings are less than twenty miles apart. For a high-grade Qi Practitioner, it didn't take long to travel the distance.

“Brother Lu, there's a late-stage Foundation Establishment Uncle Master coming to Heavenly Seal Peak to teach cultivation techniques. Would you like to join us and listen?”

“It is said that this Uncle Master has a deep understanding of various basic cultivation techniques in the sect and has unique and profound insights. His teachings on cultivation knowledge are easy to understand and well-liked by many outer sect brothers and sisters.”

Baili Sword Qing said excitedly.

“I have something else to do, so I won't join you.”

Lu Xuan planned to visit the Agricultural Department Hall of the Sky Sword Sect to see what spirit plants he could grow.

“In the afternoon? I heard that a sword master is coming to teach and demonstrate sword techniques. That uncle master is devoted to the path of the sword and has a profound understanding of swordsmanship. Any random move he teaches could enlighten the learners.”

“If you miss it, you won't know when the next opportunity will be.”

Baili Jianqing said longingly, his admiration for the sword master was evident.

Lu Xuan shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.

Baili Jianqing glanced over and noticed the newly-refurbished spirit field, a strange look appearing on his face.

“Brother Lu, you're not… planning to stay in the cave to plant spirit plants, are you?”

“Indeed, that is my intent.”

Lu Xuan nodded, admitting it.

“You've come all this way, suffering hardships to enter the Sky Sword Sect, not to cultivate techniques, not to practice swordsmanship, skipping the uncle master's class, all just to farm?”

Baili Jianqing put his hand to his forehead, unable to comprehend this shocking revelation.

In his view, Lu Xuan's fixation on planting spirit plants made him seem almost obsessive.

Where is the cultivator that doesn't cultivate and doesn't practice swordsmanship, only focusing on cultivating spirit plants?

Seeing his reaction, Lu Xuan gave a light laugh.

“I'm just aware of my own limitations. I know that I'm not very talented, learning from the uncle master's teachings, understanding the essence of the sword Dao, all won't mean much.”

“You all can understand and grasp knowledge with just one listen, while I need to listen ten or more times to comprehend the same.”

“I only possess a bit of talent in cultivating spirit plants. So why not focus on my strength and avoid my weaknesses, concentrating on planting spirit plants?”

He spoke sincerely, with a genuine expression, perfectly capturing the identity of a cultivator who has no hope in cultivation, but puts his hope in the path of spiritual plants.

“If your talent is not as good as others, then you should listen more, practice more, accumulate slowly, so you won't fall behind too much.”

Baili Jianqing suggested.

“Who wants to accumulate slowly and still be left behind? What I want is to catch up and surpass them, wouldn't it be good?”

Lu Xuan muttered, looking at Baili Jianqing, whispering two words.

“Sword Grass.”

Baili Jianqing's face instantly changed, his eyes narrowed into slits. With a forced smile he fawned over, saying.

“If Brother Lu is unwilling to attend the class, I won't force you. I will try my best to take notes and bring them to you later. You just need to stay in the cave and cultivate your spirit plants well.”

“When you can cultivate Sword Grass, just remember my little effort.”

After saying this, he left first.

After Baili Jianqing left, Lu Xuan activated the formation. Following the instructions in the manual, he went to a large hall named the Agricultural Department Hall.

The Agricultural Department Hall was in charge of the supply and demand, cultivation, and seed condensation of most of the spirit plants in Sky Sword Sect. This included the public medicine gardens and spirit fields, deciding what types and ranks of spirit plants to plant, and their quantity.

Most of the missions related to spirit plants within the sect came from this hall, and all the spirit plant masters specialized in cultivating spiritual plants.

Lu Xuan came here to see if he could find suitable spirit plants for cultivation..
