I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates Chapter 5 – 5 Chapter 4 'Jingold Sword Art'_1

5 Chapter 4 'Jingold Sword Art'_1

After learning the information of the three cultivators at the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation from the cultivator surnamed Huang, Lu Xuan made haste to visit each one. In the end, he chose Qin Ming, who was skilled in the Ice System Technique.

For no other reason than that he was the cheapest.

Among the three people, Lingyun Fairy had the highest asking price, starting at ten Spirit Stones, which scared Lu Xuan away. Next was Li Xu, who was skilled in Sword Qi into Silk, asking for nine Spirit Stones. The cheapest was Qin Ming, who only required seven Spirit Stones.

Lu Xuan naturally did not hesitate and chose Qin Ming first. He spent considerable effort along the way haggling and managed to reduce Qin Ming's reward by fifty Broken Spirits, saving half a Spirit Stone.

This was cheap only relative to the other two cultivators. You should know that Lu Xuan rented this courtyard with a Spirit Field, and the monthly rent was five Spirit Stones.

In such a short time, he'd spent more than a month's worth of expenses. How could Lu Xuan not feel pained!

Fortunately, the problem with the Black Bud Worm Larvae was solved successfully. He could only hope that the recovering Spirit Firefly Grass and its white light cluster could bring substantial rewards.

His mental power focused on the Spirit Firefly Grass that had been corroded by the black fine lines, a thought flashed across his mind.

“I suddenly shook, feeling so empty, as if something had disappeared from my body, urgently requiring nutritional supplements.”

What the hell was this state?

Lu Xuan complained to himself, his spiritual energy within his body surged, and threads of Spirit Rain fell on the green leaves of the Spirit Firefly Grass, seeping into them.

After three consecutive uses of the Spirit Rain Technique, the life-deficient Spirit Firefly Grass had mostly recovered.

Lu Xuan then made a round to inspect the small courtyard, understanding the current state of the remaining Spirit Firefly Grass and the two Moon Erosion Trees. After confirming there were no issues, he relievedly entered the room.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lu Xuan hastily made his way to the Spirit Firefly Grass without even having time to wash up. He pinched the leaf and turned it over to look at the back.

The persistent black fine lines that had been present for the past few days were finally gone.

He let out a long sigh of relief, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

After a round of Spirit Rain technique, Lu Xuan carefully assessed the Spirit Plants in the field, found three more Spirit Firefly Grass progress bars that were fully filled.

His mental power converged on it.

“Ordinary Quality Spirit Firefly Grass *2.”

“Good Quality Spirit Firefly Grass.”

“Huh? Good Quality Spirit Firefly Grass?”

Lu Xuan noticed the subtle differences between the three Spirit Firefly Grasses.

The planting plugin didn't appear until he harvested the first Spirit Firefly Grass, so he wasn't aware of the quality of the first Spirit Firefly Grass when it matured.

He carefully picked the Spirit Firefly Grass full of faint luminescence, and three white light clusters silently appeared on the spot, flickering faintly as if enticing Lu Xuan to pick them up.

“Harvested a Spirit Firefly Grass, gained Three Months Cultivation.”

“Harvested a Spirit Firefly Grass, gained Three Months Cultivation.”

“Harvested a Spirit Firefly Grass, gained Earth Pulling Technique Spell.”

The moment he picked up the light cluster, Lu Xuan felt a sudden surge in his spiritual energy.

The rushing spiritual power wreaked havoc in his meridians. After calming down, Lu Xuan realized his cultivation had smoothly progressed to the breakthrough of the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation.

After cultivating diligently for many days, with a little help from the three white light clusters, he finally broke through to the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation successfully.

Lu Xuan was pleased to think so.

At the same time as his spiritual power surged, a formula method known as the Earth Pulling Technique appeared in his sea of consciousness.

He had an understanding in his heart, and knew a lot about the Earth Pulling Technique.

Earth Pulling Technique, like the Spirit Rain Technique, is one of the few low-level formula methods that a Spirit Plant Master must know. After successful cultivation, it can drive and control the structure of the soil, change the concentration of spiritual power in the soil, and make Spirit Plants grow better.

To the current Lu Xuan, it was quite practical.

He activated the formula method, and under the control of his spiritual power, the gray-black soil in the Spirit Field rose slightly, changing the root position of the remaining Spirit Firefly Grass in subtle places, making their distribution more reasonable. No longer leaving a large open spot or piled together.

“I originally thought all Spirit Firefly Grass would bring a white light cluster that would be Three Months Cultivation. Now it seems that the same variety of Spirit Plants can bring different light cluster rewards.

That mature Spirit Firefly Grass with Good Quality brought the Earth Pulling Technique.”

“It seems that the remaining twenty or so Spirit Firefly Grass, and the two Moon Erosion Trees, all need to be taken care of more carefully. Improving their quality when they mature also improves the reward of the white light cluster.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The courtyard wasn't big. The two Moon Erosion Trees occupied half of the area, and the remaining area was planted with a total of twenty-four Spirit Firefly Grass. After two harvests, a total of four were harvested, leaving twenty to mature.

Although the Spirit Firefly Grass occupied very little land, the range of the roots in the soil was very wide. Even if only more than twenty were planted, it was already maximizing the use of the Spirit Field soil.

Looking at the rewards brought by the Spirit Firefly Grass with Good Quality, raising Spirit Plants is best to try to improve their appearance when they mature.

This way, not only can more Spirit Stones be sold, but also better light cluster rewards can be obtained. It's a win-win situation.

Now that he can know the real-time status of the Spirit Plants, and have the assistance of Earth Pulling Technique and Spirit Rain Technique, Lu Xuan was full of confidence.

He planned to change his usual planting methods.

In the past, he would use the Spirit Rain Technique after an interval every day to nourish the Spirit Plants. In his cultivation breaks, he would check the Spirit Field from time to time to check for any Strange Worm invasions.

For him, a low-level Spirit Plant Master, this was already a relatively reasonable cultivation method.

With the ability to now understand the real-time status of the Spirit Plants, he planned to change large-scale Spirit Rain Technique to local and detailed application. Whenever he noticed the needs of the Spirit Firefly Grass, he would satisfy them, striving to cultivate the best quality Spirit Plants.

Thinking, he acted immediately. According to the subtle differences in the needs of each Spirit Firefly Grass, he used the Spirit Rain Technique and Earth Pulling Technique over and over again until his internal spiritual power was exhausted.

Looking at each of the green and shiny Spirit Firefly Grass in the Spirit Field, the exhausted Lu Xuan revealed a satisfied smile.

As for not having time to cultivate during the day? He believed that it was no longer important, all he wanted now was peace and quiet for planting.

After two days of hard work, five mature Spirit Firefly Grass were laid in front of Lu Xuan.

However, perhaps due to the long planting time, a few days of intensive cultivation could not bring qualitative changes.

Among the five Spirit Firefly Grass, three were of Ordinary Quality, and two were of Good Quality.

The three Ordinary Quality Spirit Firefly Grass brought to Lu Xuan spiritual energy equivalent to nine months of his daily cultivation.

As for the other two Spirit Firefly Grass of Good Quality, one was also the Earth Pulling Technique.

After Lu Xuan absorbed it, he felt that he had a deeper understanding of this Formula Method. The time to activate the Formula Method was shorter and the control over soil change was more precise.

“It seems that if the reward for the light clusters is the same Formula Method, absorbing it will increase the understanding of it, which is similar to an experience bar.”

Lu Xuan began to ponder, and then a reward from the Good Quality Spirit Firefly Grass in his sea of knowledge appeared.

“Jingold Sword Art!”
