You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 696: Do You Understand the Value of Being at the Top of the Industry?

After acquiring a grocery store in the Star Plucking Building, the wealth of rare treasures Lu Xuan had obtained from the Light Cluster provided him with a stable source of income, ensuring a continuous supply of Spirit Stones.

The speed at which he earned Spirit Stones could be described as earning a fortune daily without exaggeration.

As for cultivating Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Wood, his desire to obtain Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ores was extremely strong, yet he was not very willing to personally explore and seek them out.

After all, his current Cultivation Level was only at the “Early Core Formation stage”, and he possessed only a few treasures, his risk resistance capacity was not at its fullest, it was safer to stay in his Cave Abode, cultivating spiritual plants, and collecting Light Clusters.

Opportunities were everywhere, and the safety of his Cave Abode was incomparably higher than that of the outer Secret Lands.

As for the Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ore, he would simply buy it directly from the hands of Jindan Cultivators.

Lu Xuan made up his mind, but his expression showed hesitation.

“Thank you, Fellow Xuann Yuan, for making the special trip to invite me, but I’m afraid I must apologize to you.”

“Why? Do you not desire the Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ore anymore, Friend Lu?”

“I do desire it, but the journey to the Northern Endless Sea is long, and if I were to explore and travel through several Secret Lands, it would take at least a few months.”

“However, I have several high-grade spiritual plants in my Spirit Field that are about to mature and require daily careful attention. If I’m not at the Cave Abode, it’s likely the quality of the spiritual plants will be affected, and I really can’t free myself from this.”

Lu Xuan spoke with a mix of truth and deception.

“That’s a pity, I had hoped to help you acquire a piece of Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ore.”

Xuann Yuanzhe said regretfully.

“I have a plan, but I do not know if Fellow Xuann Yuan and the other fellows would accept it?”

“Please speak, Friend Lu.”

“If the fellows manage to obtain the Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ores successfully, I am willing to buy them at a high price from your hands.”

“As for the price, it can be decided based on the quality and weight of the Ore, and considering the risks you fellows take, I can accept paying a bit more than the market price.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“A pre-purchase of Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ore? This method of acquiring treasures is indeed novel,” Xuann Yuanzhe couldn’t help laughing.

In his mind, if a Cultivator knew the whereabouts of a desired treasure, they would try every means to personally secure it, even at the risk of their lives.

Lu Xuan’s approach of securing treasures through other Cultivators and then buying them off was something he had never seen before.

“What’s wrong, Fellow Xuann Yuan, do you think it’s not feasible?”

Lu Xuan asked upon seeing his reaction.

“Of course, there’s no problem with that.”

Not every Cultivator needs to use Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ores; once obtained they are quite likely to sell or trade them. If Lu Xuan is willing to pay a premium, upon reflection, that might be even better.

“While pre-purchasing the treasure is feasible, the cost to you, Friend Lu, would be significantly higher,” Xuann Yuanzhe thought for a moment and tactfully reminded.

“Fellow Xuann Yuan need not worry about that; Lu Mou has cultivated spiritual plants for many years, and has saved up a fair amount of Spirit Stones,” Lu Xuan said with a laugh.

“Friend Lu, as a No-Organization Spirit Plant Master who has broken through to the Core Formation realm, you can afford to pay a premium to buy Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ores. Do Spirit Plant Masters know how to make Spirit Stones so easily?” Xuann Yuanzhe couldn’t help asking.

“Haha, naturally, Spirit Plant Masters can’t earn Spirit Stones as explosively as refining instruments or alchemy, but though I can’t increase the inflow, I can limit the outflow,” Lu Xuan laughed.

“Staying in the Cave Abode doesn’t cost that many Spirit Stones.”

“On the other hand, exploring Secret Lands requires the preparation of several powerful Magic Treasures and Magic Artifacts, and not to mention the Charms and Elixirs consumed. Considering that, it’s quite a significant amount of wealth.”

“Additionally, my mastery in the path of spiritual plants is not inferior to other Spirit Plant Masters. Even though the spirit stones I earn are far less than those of Refining Instrument Masters and Alchemy Masters, it still isn’t a small amount.”

Lu Xuan’s body leaned slightly backward.

Do you even understand the earning potential at the top of the industry?

“What Friend Lu said is absolutely true, my insight is indeed shallow.”

“Perhaps my cultivation level and strength are slightly less than yours, but when it comes to spirit plant mastery, I’m not even close to matching you.”

Xuann Yuanzhe’s expression became enlightened, and he nodded as he spoke.

“Let’s agree on this then, if I manage to successfully obtain the Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ore, I’ll come back to make a deal with you, Friend Lu.”

“Good! Then I wish Fellow Xuann Yuan and the other fellows success in obtaining treasures and a safe return.”

“At that time, let Friend Lu have a good taste of the fine wine I’ve recently brewed.”

Lu Xuan Laughed, cupping his hands in greeting.

“Hahaha, Friend Lu, you’d better prepare plenty! Farewell!”

The young man laughed heartily, transformed into a White Light Group, and in the blink of an eye disappeared into the sky.

“Why do I feel like I just witnessed a classic flag-setting moment.”

Lu Xuan gazed at the distant sky filled with fine lightning bolts and shook his head.

“Why fight for opportunities? Why not just buy them outright!”

Although Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Ores are rare and expensive, for cultivators who do not practice the related formula methods or divine skills, they are not very useful, so the possibility of successfully buying them is very high.

“You fight for chances; I cultivate my fields.”

He activated the Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array and the Cloud Bamboo Arrow Formation, then went to the Spirit Field Area to inspect the detailed condition of each spirit plant.

The surface of the Sixth Grade Buddha Sitting Lotus conveyed a tranquil and peaceful feeling with its bright yellow Buddhist radiance flowing around it.

A small novice monk’s phantom leaped out from the lotus leaf, sometimes deeply sleeping, sometimes sitting quietly in meditation. Every movement resonated with the charm of an enlightened monk.

The Fifth Grade Pure Bottle Willow, another Buddhist spirit plant, unknowingly extended delicate green willow branches from its bottle-shaped spirit soil structure, brimming with life and clarity. It felt like a gentle breeze brushing across the face, quietly soothing Lu Xuan’s body and mind.

Lu Xuan took care of the two Buddhist spirit plants, along with the other plants, nurturing them diligently and arrived at the area where Ice Firefly Grass was planted.

The thirty-six stalks of Ice Firefly Grass, which he obtained through condensing seeds and improving methods, had four fully mature plants picked a while ago, and among the remaining vibrant blue spirit grass, another five had fully matured.

He carefully harvested them, acquiring five White Light Groups, a reward of fifteen years’ worth of cultivation progress, one Fourth Grade Ice Soul Pill, and one Fourth Grade Ice Spirit Pill – suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators practicing ice-related cultivation techniques, which could slightly enhance the cultivators’ mana upon consumption.

“There are still twenty-seven Ice Firefly Grass stalks left. Having harvested over thirty years of cultivation progress, my strength has grown quite a bit.”

“There’s no need to rush to harvest the light clusters; expanding production to increase the yield is what’s important.”

“Once I can plant Ice Firefly Grass on a large scale, that will be the phase where my cultivation level rises swiftly.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

He planned to wait for the remaining Ice Firefly Grass to mature before picking seven more and leave twenty for condensing seeds to obtain more spiritual seeds.

Returning to the courtyard, Lu Xuan entered the Pill Room.

As soon as he entered, a wave of heat hit him.

In the center of the Pill Room, a simple set of Prohibitions and Restrictions was arranged, and above them floated more than a dozen fiery red lotus seeds.

The seeds were the size of a thumb tip, and inside they faintly showed streams of deep red smoke.

Beneath all the fiery red lotus seeds, there was a white-gold flame burning quietly. Periodically, a lotus seed would fall into the flame, enveloped and baked by it.

“Stimulated and induced by Pure Yang True Fire for such a long time, I wonder if these Lotus Seeds of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus have undergone any mutations.”

Lu Xuan murmured to himself as he approached the fiery red lotus seeds.
