You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 671: Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman

“Legend has it that the Star Fruit Seeds come from meteorites from beyond the heavens. It’s said that a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Commerce Association discovered them while roaming a Strange Realm, and he collected them. The quantity is limited; I’ve obtained six for you, Friend Lu.”

Zhang Jiuzong said with a smile.

“I do not know much about the specific cultivation methods, but I have heard from the Spirit Plant Masters of the Commerce Association mention that the growth of the Star Fruit is greatly related to Star Force.”

“How to cultivate it will have to be explored and experimented with by you, Friend Lu.”

“Friend Zhang need not worry. Lu Mou has a bit of talent in cultivating spiritual plants, and it shouldn’t be a problem for me to cultivate these Star Fruit Seeds.”

Lu Xuan said with full confidence. In this world, there were only plants he hadn’t sown; there were none that he couldn’t grow.

“It was my overthinking, doubting your level at cultivating spiritual plants, Friend Lu.”

Director Zhang chuckled, thinking of Lu Xuan’s previous deeds in the Spirit Phantom Blessed Land, and instantly, he was filled with confidence in him.

“Fifth Grade Spirit Plants are extremely difficult to cultivate, with each plant requiring a great deal of time and effort. Therefore, as long as you succeed in cultivating them, the Commerce Association will give you a generous reward.”

“Apart from the basic rewards, the higher the survival rate of the Spirit Plant and the better the quality at maturity, the more substantial the compensation will be.”

“Understood. Lu Mou will definitely cultivate these six Star Fruit Seeds to maturity and will not disappoint the Commerce Association or you, Friend Zhang.”

Lu Xuan Laughed as he spoke.

The rewards were actually secondary. For the reward of the Light Cluster upon maturity, he would also do his utmost to cultivate the Fifth Grade Star Fruit well.

“Then I am at ease.”

After handing over the Snow Dragon Holy Spring and the Star Fruit Seeds to Lu Xuan, Zhang Jiuzong did not linger for long. After a brief chat, he bid farewell and left.

Before leaving, Lu Xuan specially gave him a large bottle of Jade Wash Spirit Dew as a token of his appreciation for obtaining the Star Fruit for him.

“This is the advantage of having the backing of a major power.”

After Zhang Jiuzong left, Lu Xuan looking at the Star Fruit in his hands, which emanated a brilliant glow, couldn’t help feeling inwardly.

“Now that I have the Fifth Rank Seeds, can the Sixth Grade ones be far behind?”

He thought to himself, determined to fleece the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce of various high-grade Spirit Seeds to the greatest extent.

He rushed to the Spirit Field, unable to wait any longer to plant the Star Fruit Seeds into the Spirit Soil.

His spiritual sense focused on them, and he instantly understood the detailed information about the Star Fruit.

[Star Fruit, Fifth-Quality Spirit Plant, the seeds are formed from the special power of stars stimulated and condensed upon meteorites from beyond. The seeds require the absorption of Star Force throughout their growth, and the closer they are to the starry sky, the more conducive it is to the growth of the Spirit Plant. It is not necessary to plant them in ordinary Spirit Soil; you can use Spirit Ores related to stars and place them around the Spirit Plant to promote its growth.]

[The mature fruit, after consumption, can enhance the body with the Power of Stars, and can also assist in the cultivation of special Divine Skills and Cultivation Techniques related to the stars.]

[Bathed in starlight, grow strong and healthy!]

“It needs to be cultivated in the high skies, and it doesn’t need to be grown in ordinary Spirit Soil conditions.”

Lu Xuan inwardly marveled.

Having cultivated Spirit Plants for many years and encountering numerous types, each with their own bizarre characteristics, he had widened his horizons tremendously.

The Qing Fu Lu Ling Light surged around his feet, and like a rocket taking off, he ascended to the skies above his Cave Abode.

He took out the six Star Fruit Seeds and used simple Prohibitions and Restrictions to keep them suspended in mid-air. With but a thought, clouds around the seeds billowed, and strands of Spirit Rain oozed out from the flashes of thunder, seeping into the Star Fruit Seeds.

Bathed in the glow of starlight, the seeds’ deep radiance moved slowly as if they were responding to the distant stars in the night sky.

“Currently, this can only ensure the basic growth needs of the Star Fruit. If I want to cultivate it to maturity quickly, I will need to find more special Spirit Ores related to the stars,”

Lu Xuan looked at the Star Fruit, which showed a bit of vitality, and thought to himself.

The serendipitous discovery of six fifth-grade Star Fruits and the substantial portion of the exquisite fourth-grade Spiritual Liquid from the Snow Dragon Holy Spring greatly lifted his spirits, lightening his steps as he patrolled the Spirit Field.

After cultivating for a few days, the Star Fruit Seed showed faint signs of subtle changes.

Lu Xuan noticed that the bright spots inside the Spiritual Seed seemed to be on the verge of dispersing. It was only when he focused his mind on it that he realized it was an indication of the seed nearing germination.

“I wonder how Spirit Plants take root and sprout in the air,” he mused.

With that thought, Lu Xuan returned to the Spirit Field and began inspecting the other Spirit Plants one by one.

Suddenly, his expression changed as his sharp Spiritual Sense caught wind of a green Charm appearing outside his cave abode.

He reached out to summon the Charm and with a sliver of Spiritual Power, activated it. A gentle voice from Hermit Yu Lin came through.

“Friend Lu, I am deeply grateful for your hospitality last time,” the voice said.

“In the coming days, I will host a small gathering in the Green Wood Star Cave with some fellow Daoists to exchange cultivation experiences and trade treasures.”

“Some Daoists will bring unknown treasures, and I specifically invite you, Friend Lu, to join us in appraising and trading them.”

“The Green Wood Star Cave is extremely conducive to Spirit Plant Masters. I believe you, Friend Lu, will return with a great haul.”

“Hermit Yu Lin is inviting me to the Green Wood Star Cave?”

Lu Xuan memorized the time and location from the Charm and fell into deep thought.

“Each of the eighteen Star Caves has its peculiarities; it could be quite enlightening to visit them.”

“Furthermore, this could be an opportunity to meet more Golden Core Real People and perhaps even acquire wondrous Spiritual Seeds at the treasure exchange.”

With that in mind, Lu Xuan felt increasingly inclined to make a trip to the Green Wood Star Cave.

However, there was still over a month until the time indicated on the Charm, so there was no rush.

As he was thinking, Lu Xuan noticed that the first Thunder Fury Lotus of fourth grade that he had obtained was now fully mature.

“Harvest the Light Cluster, harvest the Light Cluster,” he exclaimed in his heart, feeling elated.

He carefully plucked the silver-white lotus, infused with the flowing water of the Thunderfall Waterfall.

[Thunder Fury Lotus, a fourth-grade Spirit Plant, nourished and cultivated with Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power. The mature Lotus Seeds condense pure and rich Thunder Power, which can be used to feed Thunder Attribute Spirit Beasts or consumed to aid in the cultivation of certain Thunder Attribute Cultivation Methods, Divine Skills, etc.]

“To feed a Thunder Attribute Spirit Beast. I just don’t know if that young Thunder Dragon Behemoth can handle the power in the Thunder Fury Lotus Seed right now,” he wondered.

With that thought, Lu Xuan decided to temporarily store the Thunder Fury Lotus Seeds in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, planning to find the right moment later to feed the Thunder Dragon Behemoth.

After all, there were still plenty of Thunder Fury Lotuses he had collected from the Ancient Herb Garden in the Spirit Field—no fear of not having enough to satisfy the Thunder Dragon Behemoth.

Next, his gaze landed on the quietly emerging White Light Group, which twinkled subtly, still greatly appealing to him even after countless encounters.

He gently touched the surface of the Light Cluster, and it shattered silently, turning into countless fine light spots.

In an instant, the light spots coalesced into a shadow of a Talisman and rushed into Lu Xuan’s body at high speed.

Then, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested one fourth-grade Thunder Fury Lotus and obtained a fifth-grade Talisman, the Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman.]
