You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 150

“Third-grade Golden Marrow Jade Liquid!”

Lu Xuan gazed at the golden, radiant, viscous liquid in his hand, filled with joy. Without hesitation, he directly consumed the drop of Golden Marrow Jade Liquid.

As the liquid entered his abdomen, a warm sensation flowed through his limbs, penetrating the surface of his bones, forming a thin film enveloping his entire skeletal structure.

A faint tingling sensation spread across his body, as if countless hairs were lightly brushing the surface of his bones.

The tingling gradually faded, and the outer film was completely absorbed by his bones. Lu Xuan felt a significant increase in the strength of his bones.

Having obtained the “Lustrous Bone Forging Technique,” coupled with absorbing several experience packets in the Qi refining stage, his cultivation had progressed remarkably. However, he hadn’t devoted much time to practicing for the Foundation Establishment stage.

Under the effect of the “Lustrous Bone Forging Technique,” his bones were as hard as white jade glass, surpassing the hardness of many first and second-grade magical tools.

Now, with this drop of Golden Marrow Jade Liquid, his bone strength ascended further. Lu Xuan estimated that he was now not weaker than most second-grade magical tools.

Concentrating his perception, he could sense the even distribution of the liquid throughout his bones, slowly nurturing and nourishing them, creating a warm sensation within.

Satisfied, Lu Xuan checked on the other four Copper Bone Bamboos. The progress bars beneath each were almost full. He decided to wait a few more days as early harvesting might affect their quality.
As for the mature Copper Bone Bamboo, he directly stored it in his storage bag, considering the opportunity to sell it.

Lu Xuan continued inspecting the spirit field, understanding the growth status of each spirit plant and meeting their subtle needs.

“It’s time to find a new spirit plant.”

He thought to himself, gazing across the spirit field.

With the second-grade Clear Spirit Tea and Copper Bone Bamboo matured, the third-grade Illusory Smoke Fruit and Dragon Vine entering the mature stage, the variety of spirit plants in the spirit field had decreased. Lu Xuan decided to visit the Agricultural Hall to purchase a high-grade spirit seed.

The next day, early in the morning, he meticulously nurtured all the spirit plants in the spirit field, releasing a thick white mist that swiftly enveloped his cave.

Lu Xuan headed to the foot of the mountain, where three spirit cranes awaited cultivators in need.

Upon seeing Lu Xuan, the three spirit cranes simultaneously chirped joyfully and swiftly flapped their wings, landing in front of him.

“Hey, easy, don’t crowd!”

Lu Xuan exclaimed, seeing the cranes bunched up. If not for knowing he had just helped the entire crane clan solve a big issue, he might have thought these cranes were competing to offer their services.

With his persuasion, the cranes settled down. Their black and white eyes stared at Lu Xuan, seemingly afraid he wouldn’t choose them.

“You.”

Lu Xuan casually pointed at one crane with closed eyes.

The crane he pointed at lifted its small head high, looking pleased.

While the other two cranes seemed somewhat melancholic, Lu Xuan comforted them briefly. Then, he leaped onto the back of the crane that had been waiting impatiently.

“To the Agricultural Hall.”

In less than a moment, the crane landed on a flat ground near the Agricultural Hall.

Lu Xuan retrieved a spirit stone from his storage bag and offered it to the crane.

The crane shook its slender neck, chirping crisply, declining the payment.

“Take it quickly, this is your fare. I can’t let you take me for free.”

Lu Xuan placed the spirit stone into a pouch under the crane’s neck and turned to leave.

The crane hurried after him, flapping its white wings and pecking Lu Xuan, holding the spirit stone in its beak, chirping.

“All right, thanks for your kindness.”

Seeing the crane’s determined attitude, Lu Xuan reluctantly took the spirit stone from its mouth.

The crane chirped a clear farewell, soaring into the sky and soon disappeared.

“Didn’t expect hitching a ride with the crane would be free this time, saving me a spirit stone.”

Lu Xuan felt the joy of a free ride, walking happily towards the Agricultural Hall gate.

Behind him, a young cultivator alighted from another crane. Witnessing the scene, he withdrew the spirit stone he intended to give to the crane, mirroring Lu Xuan’s actions.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from behind. The young cultivator turned, only to see the crane he had ridden glaring at him fiercely.

As the young cultivator turned, the crane aggressively pecked at the spirit stone in his hand, giving him a disdainful look before leaving.

“Both outer disciples, both riding cranes, why such a difference?”

The young cultivator stood dumbfounded, puzzled by the stark contrast.

“Lu Junior Brother, you’re here! Haven’t seen you in the Agricultural Hall for a while.”

As Lu Xuan entered the hall, an elderly farming cultivator greeted him warmly.

“Senior Brother, hello.”

“How are those two Sword Grass plants you’ve been nurturing, Lu Junior Brother? Is everything going smoothly?”

The elderly farming cultivator nodded, curious.

“They’re currently growing well, no issues so far.”

Lu Xuan replied truthfully.

“That’s good. Elder Shen has quite the expectations for the Sword Grass you’re nurturing!”

The elderly farming cultivator smiled and continued, “Lu Junior Brother, are you here to find another spirit seed?”

“Yes, please recommend a third-grade or higher spirit seed for me, Senior Brother.”

Lu Xuan whispered.

The rewards from a first-grade spirit plant were negligible for him. As for second-grade spirit plants, he already had several growing in his cave. Planting a new variety might push him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage sooner than expected.

By then, the rewards from the matured second-grade spirit plants might not be as valuable.

“It seems I’ve underestimated your expertise in planting spirit plants, Lu Junior Brother. You who can independently cultivate Sword Grass are truly a skilled cultivator in the realm of spirit plants.”

The elderly farming cultivator sighed. Last time, Lu Xuan exchanged for a third-grade Sword Nurture Gourd seed. Not long after, he was already planning to exchange for another third-grade spirit seed.

For Lu Xuan, cultivating third-grade spirit plants seemed no longer challenging.

“Lu Junior Brother, in these two jade books, most of the third and fourth-grade spirit plants within the sect, aside from some exclusive categories, are listed. You can choose one yourself.”

He handed Lu Xuan two jade books, speaking gently.

Lu Xuan nodded and slowly flipped through the books. With each page turn, lifelike three-dimensional patterns of the spirit plants appeared on the jade books.

In the bottom right corner were simple details about the plant species, grade, uses, and more.
