I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 343

Chapter 343: Chapter 341: Staying Behind, Flood Dragon_

Twenty grade-three Primordial Essence Herbs are present, out of which three have fully matured, and the remaining seventeen will not take long until they are ready for harvest.

After inspecting closely, Lu Xuan performed the Spirit Rain Technique and strands of Spiritual Energy began to fall, nourishing the rather ordinary­looking Primordial Essence Herbs.

“I’ve been away from the Sect for three years, I didn’t expect to come back and harvest this much.”

Feeling joyful, Lu Xuan stretched himself and continued examining the remaining Spirit Plants in his Spirit Field.

Not far away, although the three sword-cultivating gourds are of the same rank as the Primordial Essence Herb, their cultivation methods differ. The Primordial Essence Herb can grow normally in the thick and pure Spiritual Energy environment within the Inner Sect, while the Sword-Nurturing Gourds need to absorb the Sword Intent remaining within Flying Swords.

Furthermore, since they were planted a little later, they still required some time before maturity.

He took out some second-hand Flying Swords from his storage bag and piled them under the vine.

During his trip to the Secret Land, he obtained several storage bags, some containing decent quality Flying Swords, perfect for cultivating the Sword- Nurturing Gourds.

The green gourds hanging on the vines, which earlier were in a listless state, after sensing the Sword Intent below, resonated with a fizzing sound of sword qi from within. Lu Xuan sensed a feeling of excitement from the gourds.

He then moved to the Grade Four Five-element Fruit Spirit Plant, which had borne a colorful Spirit Fruit. The Five-Element Spiritual Energy lingered around the fruit, naturally merging and yet clearly demarcated at the same time.

Lu Xuan sensed the state of the Spirit Fruit, he cast corresponding Five- element spells making the circulation of the Five-element Spiritual Power around the fruit smoother.

Next, he arrived at the Four Spirit Pines.

The Spirit Gathering Pines have grown up to a person’s height, sensing Lu Xuan’s familiar presence from afar, they swayed and rustled in recognition.

A smile played on Lu Xuan’s lips as his Spiritual Sense stretched towards the Pines.

A lively and lively pure thought came from within the pine trees, tightly revolving around Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense. The pine leaves trembled as if questioning him why he hadn’t come to see them for so long.

Lu Xuan constantly used his spiritual sense to soothe and communicate, finally making the thoughts within the four Spirit Pines stabilize.

Perhaps due to the prolonged lack of cultivation and communication, the Spirit Pines craved his spiritual sense, giving Lu Xuan a feeling as if he might not be able to handle them.

After satisfying the needs of the Spirit Pines, he went to the entrance of the Underground Fire Tributary Cave, jumping right in.

On the dark red wall of the cave, a Phoenix Wood lay inside a recessed cavity- completely charred.

On the scorched wood surface, countless dark golden crevices expanded towards its center, forming a pair of lifelike Phoenix phantoms.

“Sure enough, the third-grade Red Lotus Flame I had left before has been completely absorbed by it.”

Lu Xuan muttered under his breath.

Before leaving the Sect, he deliberately left a Red Lotus Flame as a nutrient to facilitate the growth of this Grade Six Ancient Phoenix Wood. However, due to the vast rank difference, the Phoenix Wood had already completely absorbed the Red Lotus Flame.

Upon his return to the cave dwelling, several lotus flames emerged from the Flaming Fruit Light Group. Lu Xuan took out one of them,

Moved by a thought, the lotus flame began to rapidly spin and flew towards the Phoenix Wood.

The red petals burned, making their way into the dark golden crevices of the charred wood.

In an instant, the dark golden crevices were filled with Red Lotus Flame. From the center of the charred wood, a red lotus flew out. Inside the lotus, the phantoms of two Phoenixes, the size of thumbs, emerged chirping cheerfully and dancing joyously.

“Grade 6 Phoenix Wood, using third-grade Red Lotus Flame for initial growth is enough. When it grows to a certain stage, we will see if we can obtain a higher grade Strange Fire.”

“Perhaps by then, I can comprehend the Pure Yang True Fire from the ‘Pure Yang True Fire Talisman’, and directly use it to nurture the Phoenix Wood.” Finally, he turns his attention to the three Dragon Bone Grass Species lying dormant at the bottom of the small lake.

Just as Lu Xuan arrived by the small lake, a thunderous splashing sound rang out as a fiery red flood dragon emerged from the depths of the lake.

Stretching up to twenty feet long, the flood dragon’s body was slender, enveloped by red scales. Its scales faintly circulated with fiery red spiritual energy, and atop its head grew a single radiant red dragon horn, extraordinarily mystical.

“Has it grown this big?”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

When he left for Void Nether Island, he had left the young drake back at the sect. He had not expected that in merely three years, the Fire Separation Flood Dragon, which had been less than ten feet long, had grown to this extent.

The Fire Separation Flood Dragon gave a low growl towards Lu Xuan, extending its head for him to caress its radiant red dragon horn.

Come out and look at your old playmate.”

Lu Xuan let Fat Bird out.

As soon as the Wind Falcon landed, disoriented and sensing a fiery hot breath not matching its size, it swiftly jumped a great step backward with an agility that didn’t align with its physique.

The Fire Separation Flood Dragon gazed at the suddenly appearing Fat Bird, wanting to get close but acting a bit unfamiliar.

It resembled a child left behind, whose parents went out to work and only returned after a year.

The Wind Falcon stared at the Fire Separation Flood Dragon which had grown more than twice its size, its eyes rolling, the meagre spiritual intelligence it possessed feeling extremely puzzled.

How had the little creature that used to hang around its neck suddenly grown so much?

Lu Xuan did not give the two youngsters any time to catch up on old times, and released the Rock-shell Turtle and the Green-Horned Dragon Carp from his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

“From now on, you will be the head honcho in this small lake, and you must watch over these two younger brothers well,” he instructed the Fire Separation Flood Dragon.

The Rock-shell Turtle, being mischievous and lively, was completely unaffected by the change of environment, its heavy shell playfully swimming in the small lake.

Meanwhile, the Green-Horned Dragon Carp waited quietly in a corner without moving.

Originally proud of possessing a trace of True Dragon Bloodline, it had a high sense of superiority in front of the earthy and simple Rock-shell Turtle.

However, upon arrival here, and after encountering the Fire Separation Flood Dragon, sensing the powerful bloodline from the dragon’s body that originated from the same source, its sense of superiority vanished. It was obeying honestly, not daring to take any rash actions.

Lu Xuan took out the Purple Jade Coral and placed it at the bottom of the lake, then went to the spot where the Dragon Corpse Grass Species were hidden.

“After my journey to Void Nether Island, securing the Grade 3 Xuan Yuan Heavy Water and Essence Extraction True Liquid, I can finally start cultivating the Dragon Corpse Grass.”

The fifth rank Dragon Corpse Grass species had always been placed at the bottom of the lake. Unfortunately, the cultivation conditions could not be satisfied before, resulting in a waste of time.

He took out the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water from his Storage bag and directed the three drops of spiritual liquid weighing over ten pounds each to fly out from the jade bottle, one by one landing on the three odd rocks implanted with Dragon Corpse Grass species.

The dark spiritual liquid silently seeped into the rocks. Three subtle yet passionate dragon chants rang out.

From inside the rocks, three slender, slightly black dragon shadows shot out, encircling and dancing around the odd rocks, before merging back into the stones after a moment.

These odd rocks are the bones of a flood dragon that have been preserved for an unknown number of years. Combined with the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water, the official cultivation of the Dragon Corpse Grass has begun.”

“However, it would be best to use fresh flood dragon bones.”

“There are so many Jiaolong and Chilong in the Thousand Dragon Lake.

Trading a few bone corpses from Huang Yuan or other sect members wouldn’t be an issue.”

Lu Xuan, sensing the faint aura of pressure emanating from the Dragon Corpse Grass species hidden within the odd rocks, secretly thought to himself.
