You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 679: Xuan Ji Tree Mother

Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, a few Tree Mothers danced gracefully, showing a joyful expression.

Soon after, a dense plant spiritual energy surged from their bodies, enveloping Lu Xuan as well, and flashing into the depths of the giant tree.

The giant tree seemed to pose no obstacle to them at all. Their speed was extremely fast, even much faster than when Lu Xuan was using the Wood Escape Technique.

“I underestimated the speed of these Tree Mothers’ wood escape technique. Earlier, I even fancifully thought about shaking them off…”

Lu Xuan recalled when he first discovered their presence, he had tried to increase his speed to avoid trouble and shake them off, not expecting the Tree Mothers’ speed to far exceed his expectations.

“I guess this is their natural talent, and it might also have something to do with those giant trees not being an obstacle.”

He found a reason for himself and simply saved some spiritual energy, letting the Tree Mothers carry him forward at high speed.

Moments later, he felt as if his body had passed through a thin, cicada-wing-like pale green membrane, entering a world of blue.

Looking up, the end of the sky was a huge blue curtain, beneath which countless thick roots and vines intertwined, forming various strange landscapes, with innumerable Plant Spirits frolicking and playing, and even some approached Lu Xuan curiously when they saw him.

The leading Tree Mother murmured something incomprehensible, and those variously shaped Plant Spirits immediately backed away, stealthily observing Lu Xuan from a distance.

“Seems like you hold a pretty high position among these Plant Spirits.”

Lu Xuan chuckled lightly, teasingly.

Upon hearing this, the Tree Mother’s pale face flushed with a faint blush, which under the contrast of her snowy skin and green patterns, added a touch more allure.

Lu Xuan laughed heartily and followed them to a low tree root.

Before long, a Tree Mother handed Lu Xuan a portion of Emerald Green Spirit Liquid.

The spirit liquid was contained in a hollow branch, and a slight movement created layers of green ripples, looking extremely beautiful.

“Are you offering this to me?”

Even though Lu Xuan had already guessed the context, he still asked out of courtesy.

The Tree Mother nodded lightly, not daring to look up at Lu Xuan.

“Then, thank you very much.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile, and took a sip of the Emerald Green Spirit Liquid.

As soon as the Emerald Green Spirit Liquid entered his stomach, a refreshing spiritual energy flowed through his limbs and throughout his body, lingering for a long time, making Lu Xuan feel much more relaxed and his mind much clearer.

“This is quite a fine spirit liquid, its effects similar to Jade Wash Spirit Dew, but it is even stronger in some aspects.”

Lu Xuan silently made a mental note as he observed the strange space around him and enjoyed the delicious and magical Emerald Green Spirit Liquid.

“Did you brew this spirit liquid yourselves?”

After drinking the Emerald Green Spirit Liquid, Lu Xuan asked curiously.

It was fine to drink it as it was naturally produced by the world, but if there were a brewing formula, he would do his best to get his hands on it.

Of course, he would offer a price that would greatly satisfy the Tree Mothers and would not covet their precious formula for nothing.

However, to his disappointment, from the Tree Mother’s response, he could tell that the Emerald Green Spirit Liquid was naturally produced by this blue-green world, but it was produced in very small quantities, which they collected occasionally.

“Why emphasize the small quantity, as if I’m going to target the spirit liquid.”

Lu Xuan muttered to himself inwardly.

Although the Emerald Green Spirit Liquid was precious, he already owned several kinds with similar taste and effectiveness, so he wasn’t too keen on possessing it.

“Thank you for inviting me over as a guest and for letting me taste such delicious spirit liquid. If there’s nothing else, I will be leaving now.”

“Here are some spirit fruits and a few kinds of spirit liquid I brewed myself, which should be quite beneficial for you; I offer them for you to try.”

Lu Xuan paused for a moment, took out some Spirit Fruit Spirit Liquid, and planned to leave.

The Tree Mother waved her hand, her tone somewhat hurried as she spoke.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to concentrate his mind to sense the information she was expressing, suddenly, a very faint pale green aura surged out from within the Tree Mother.

“Hmm?”

Just as Lu Xuan was about to check the condition of the Tree Mother, a similar pale green aura surged out from the Plant Spirits around them almost simultaneously.

The aura itself was barely noticeable, but when countless such auras gathered together, they could form a large scale phenomenon.

Lu Xuant’s expression remained calm as he silently observed the formation of this anomaly. In his sleeve, a Fifth-grade Taiyi Thunder Talisman was poised for action, and another Fifth-grade Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman was also ready. If anything amiss should arise, he would activate the talismans and flee far away.

In the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, a Sixth Grade Incarnation of Vajra in Hell was also on the brink of activation.

Before him, countless pale green auras coalesced into a figure resembling a human body, shaded in aquamarine.

The figure towered several dozen feet high, its top sprawling with countless vines of various sizes and colors hanging down; its upper torso sprawled out myriad arm-like branches, layer upon layer, extending to the end of the azure curtain.

“Young friend, no need to be nervous, I bear you no malice.”

A voice, gentle to the extreme, entered Lu Xuan’s ear, reminiscent of being in the womb, causing a great part of Lu Xuan’s guard to drop instantly.

“I have seen the senior before.”

Although Lu Xuan did not feel any spiritual energy fluctuations from the massive phantom before him, he knew that the phantom’s strength was unfathomably deep, and thus he respectfully bowed.

“No need for such formalities. It was at my behest that those creatures invited you to come into this realm.”

The massive aquamarine phantom spoke softly.

“I see, may I know how the senior is called?”

Lu Xuan asked with a bow.

“You may address me as Xuan Ji Tree Mother.”

“As for my origin, I believe you are somewhat curious.”

“I am a special being formed from the essential spirit of numerous Spirit Plants and a unique tree, rooted within the Star Cave, capable of differentiating into myriad forms, infiltrating into these Plant Spirits in the Green Wood Star Cave or combining into a single entity, culminating in this presence before you as you see.”

The phantom explained lightly, yet Lu Xuan knew that it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface and maintained a respectful posture.

“Earlier, I sensed a special essential spiritual energy from those creatures and, out of curiosity, invited you here as a guest.”

The massive phantom said slowly.

Lu Xuan nodded, his mind suddenly clear.

That Qingmu Origin Energy came from the Green Xuan Deer; at the time, he had helped it resolve a lingering reminder, and out of gratitude, the Green Xuan Deer had condensed a portion of its life essence into an essential spiritual energy and bestowed it upon Lu Xuan.

“Furthermore, using a bit of my unique talent, I sensed a faint aroma of Spirit Plants on you, and thereby learned that you carefully cultivate many Spirit Plants.”

“Driven by a favorable impression, I thus revealed myself and decided to meet you.”

The massive aquamarine phantom spoke kindly, and from its blurred features, one could feel a friendly and amiable attitude towards Lu Xuan.

“I see, I was overly concerned.”

“That essential spiritual energy was a gift from a High Rank Spirit Beast at its death, and it has accompanied me to this day.”

“As for the Spirit Plants, I have some talent and passion in their cultivation, always treating them with great importance, and naturally I put in all my effort, sparing no detail.”

Lu Xuan spoke modestly.
