You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 662: Flying Thunder Ganoderma

“Junior Cultivator, have you come?”

Lu Xuan was observing the situation in the Thunder Beast’s territory when a sound like a muffled thunder rumbled in his ears.

Immediately after, the Seventh Grade Green Horn Thunder Son, entering its declining phase, appeared before his eyes.

Its mountain-like body seemed a bit slow, yet with each step covering tens of feet and accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, it reached Lu Xuan in an instant.

“I have seen my senior!”

Lu Xuan quickly bent over to pay his respects and spoke with deference.

“This junior had matters to attend to in the Thunder Sea and happened to encounter this Thunder Beast, my good friend, who brought me here to visit you, senior, and to see if I could perhaps help you clear some of the newly formed Thunder Death Crystals.”

“Your concern is appreciated.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son’s pupils, the size of lanterns, swept over Lu Xuan as it spoke with a low voice. However, due to its innate nature, each word sounded like thunder exploding, forcing Lu Xuan to cover his ears with spiritual power to feel more comfortable.

“To serve and relieve the worries of my senior is within my duties as a junior.”

Lu Xuan said solemnly.

“Then I’ll trouble you, young friend.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son slowly lay down, closing its eyes.

With his previous experience, Lu Xuan’s courage and proficiency had improved significantly.

He leapt up and settled gently onto the back of the Green Horn Thunder Son with a composed expression.

“A Seventh Grade Monster Beast, just like that, under my feet…”

An absurd thought flashed through his mind, but he collected his thoughts and carefully inspected every corner of the Green Horn Thunder Son’s body.

It had been nearly two years since he last cleared the Thunder Death Crystals for it. The aging scent on the Green Horn Thunder Son had intensified once again, and the speed at which the Thunder Qi leaked from the decaying parts to form Thunder Death Crystals had also accelerated. Though the amount was much less than before, it still piled up when placed on the ground.

Lu Xuan promptly put them into his storage bag.

“All done, senior. I have cleared all the Thunder Death Crystals from your body.”

“Thank you.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son opened its eyes and said quietly.

These congealed Thunder Death Crystals did not affect its movement, being akin to the rest of its body, but it had allowed them to merge with its body simply because they were difficult to distinguish and clear.

If they could be cleared, however, it would feel somewhat relieved.

Lu Xuan, of course, hoped to continue this cleaning task indefinitely.

Clearing the Thunder Death Crystals for this Green Horn Thunder Son benefited him in many ways.

For one, it offered him the opportunity to hold on to the thigh of a Seventh Grade Monster Beast with the bloodline of the ancient strange beast Thunder Son. Although the Green Horn Thunder Son was in the final stage of its life, it could still unleash the strength of a Primordial Infant Cultivator. Before it, Lu Xuan was almost as trivial as an ant.

Secondly, he could obtain a large amount of Thunder Death Crystals, a high-rank cultivation resource extremely rare in the Cultivation World, beneficial in the practice of the Thunder Method and in the crafting of magic artifacts. He had obtained several hundred pounds of it in total from the two occurrences, which was considered a considerable fortune.

Lastly, he had to admit that he rather enjoyed the process of clearing the Thunder Death Crystals from the Green Horn Thunder Son, feeling an odd sense of stress relief.

“Right, I can offer the Green Horn Thunder Son a Strange Longevity Peach to see if it could extend its lifespan a bit.”

Lu Xuan suddenly thought. Having obtained so much Thunder Death Crystal from it, even with his thick skin, he felt a bit embarrassed and thus decided to gift one of the Strange Longevity Peaches he had harvested earlier to the Green Horn Thunder Son.

“Senior, I have noticed the life force in your body is somewhat quickening its decline. Fortunately, this junior has a Fifth Grade Spirit Fruit on hand. Upon consumption, it can add a bit more to your longevity. I hope it can be of some help to you, senior.”

While saying this, Lu Xuan took out a Pink White Spirit Peach from his storage bag and offered it to the Green Horn Thunder Son.

“A Spirit Fruit that can add to one’s lifespan? Then I shall not be polite.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son’s voice thundered like a clap of lightning, and with one inhalation, the Strange Longevity Peach was sucked into its stomach.

“The taste is quite good.”

As it absorbed the vitality from within the Strange Longevity Peach, it remarked thoughtfully.

“It does have some effect, probably enough to add two or three years to my lifespan.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son closed its eyes to sense the effect, then said to Lu Xuan.

“Only two or three years?”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan felt a touch of disappointment in his heart.

The lifespan-extending effect of this Strange Longevity Peach was weaker than he had imagined.

However, he could understand; the Green Horn Thunder Son was a Seventh Grade Monster Beast, and the Strange Longevity Peach was merely a Fifth Grade Spirit Fruit, so naturally, the effect would be greatly reduced.

Moreover, he had previously learned from this Seventh Grade Monster Beast that it had lived for more than ten thousand years, and merely a few years of lifespan were nothing more than a flick of a finger to it, swiftly passing by.

“Young friend, there’s no need to be disappointed, being able to cling to life for another two or three years is already quite good for me.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son seemed to possess a clear and broad perspective, and seeing Lu Xuan’s expression, it comforted him in return.

“If I can help senior just a little, it is enough.”

“However, I am curious, what conditions would need to be met to truly change senior’s current situation?”

Lu Xuan collected himself and asked the Green Horn Thunder Son.

“Naturally, it would have to be a Seventh Grade Spirit Fruit or Innate Spirit Objects, the higher the rank the better,”

“However, those are extremely rare and scarcely seen; even within the entire Cultivation World, they only appear by chance, elusive and not to be sought after.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son spoke gravely.

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, showing his understanding.

“I remember that the young friend seems to be a Spirit Plant Master. You came here to help me clear the Thunder Death Crystals from my body and even gifted me a rare Fifth Grade Spirit Fruit. I also have a Spiritual Seed that I would like to give to you, young friend.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son’s body surged with lightning, and a deep green crack appeared right in the middle of its back, indicating a different dimension, imbued with the power of space.

Then, a strangely shaped Spiritual Seed floated out from the crack, flying towards Lu Xuan.

The Spiritual Seed was silver-white in color, with the shadow of a figure resembling a small human inside. This shadow was surrounded by Thunder Qi, making it appear somewhat blurred.

“This Spiritual Seed is called the Flying Thunder Ganoderma. I obtained it by chance before and have kept it with me ever since,”

“It is of the Sixth Grade and requires cultivation with thunder-attributed spiritual aura, spirit soil, and even Spiritual Objects. Once it sprouts, it will possess some mobility and must be carefully monitored.”

“If one is even a bit negligent, the Flying Thunder Ganoderma may stealthily slip away, wasting all the previous cultivation efforts.”

As Lu Xuan examined the Spiritual Seed, the voice of the Green Horn Thunder Son rumbled like muffled thunder.

“A Sixth Grade Spirit Seed?!”

A surge of intense joy welled up inside Lu Xuan.

Currently, in his Cave Abode, there were only a few varieties of Sixth-grade Spiritual Plants, and among them, two types had yet to meet the cultivation conditions. He did not expect to unexpectedly obtain one from the Green Horn Thunder Son.

“I thank senior for bestowing such a rare Spirit Seed!”

He received the Sixth Grade Flying Thunder Ganoderma Spirit Seed with great care, not bothering with false modesty, as he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

“So it’s good at sneaking around, huh? In my hands, there’s no escape.”

He thought to himself with quiet resolve.
