I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 347
Chapter 347: Chapter 345: Strange Species of Poisonous Insect_i
After all the Spiritual Fruit and Spiritual Fish were finished, both the Luan Bird and Monkey bloated their bellies slightly. As for the Fat Bird Wind Falcon, it goes without saying, feet facing up and its round belly looking like a small hill. “Chirp, chirp!”
The White Luan Bird emitted a crisp chirp and, in its clear black and white pupils, was full of reluctance.
“Alright, alright, hurry back or your elder brother who feeds you all will start worrying.”
“I’ll be staying at the sect for a while. If you want to improve your meals, you can come find me at any time.”
Lu Xuan Laughed and waved his hand at the Luan Bird and the little monkey. After hearing his promise, the Mysterious Sky Luan Bird and White Jade Sky Monkey finally completely relaxed. One vanished directly from Lu Xuan’s cave mansion, the other turned into a white light, and violently shot past the formation.
Lu Xuan returned to the inner courtyard and after cleaning up a bit, he let the Fat Bird and the others lounge around in various positions on the ground.
The visit by the two Spirit Beasts was but a minor incident. Lu Xuan continued to live his simple and serene life as a Spirit Plant Master.
Cultivating Spiritual Plants, raising Spirit Beasts, occasionally opening a Light Cluster, enjoying the anticipation of unknown rewards, and the satisfaction of various treasures.
[Harvested third-grade Zangyuan Grass, gained Third-grade magic item Nascent Soul Grass Bead.]
With a thought, a green Lingzhu appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.
“Another Nascent Soul Grass Bead.”
Lu Xuan grinned and put the green Lingzhu in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
After feeding the Grass Puppet a Lingzhu once before, up until now it still hasn’t completely digested the rich wood and grass spiritual energy inside the Lingzhu.
Its whole body, from the green color when it first took the Lingzhu, slowly transformed into a grey-green color. It’ll probably take a while to totally return to normal.
It’s been over ten days since those two came as guests. In this time period, five more out of the remaining nine Zangyuan Grass have matured.
Out of the five Light Clusters, three Foundation Establishment Pills, a Pill Formula Experience Package for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and a Nascent Soul Grass Bead was produced.
The other Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field are in a good condition.
The two hundred stems of Water Glow Grass that were planted after coming back have grown a little. Tiny glow-in-the-dark spots are on the sleek blue leaves. Clustered together, with the passing breeze, it’s as if the stars are twinkling.
The Flaming Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit have also rooted and sprouted, pushing out from the Spirit Soil. Two young plants, one pale red as if a freshly lit flame and one pale blue, where one can see cold air twirling around it in the early mornings.
Among the remaining spirit plants, two Earth Fire Heart Lotus Seeds were floating on the lava surface. The thick red fog inside was getting denser, as though it would spew out at any second.
The Xuan Chong Vine had several different types of Demon Insects starting to attach themselves to the vine, each building their own uniquely styled Insect Room in division, but not disturbing each other.
Inside the Mayfly Grass Spirit Seed, the transparent Insect Zhi had increased a lot in size, Lu Xuan estimated it wouldn’t take too long for it to break out of the spirit energy orb and root and sprout.
The Sword Nurturing Gourd, which had been planted for quite a while now, had become vibrant after Lu Xuan fed it many second-hand Flying Swords, and had entered a fast-maturing stage.
“Junior brother Lu, are you there?”
Just as Lu Xuan was inspecting his Spirit Field, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
“Brother Ge? I am.”
Lu Xuan’s eyes lit up, he immediately opened the formation. A black and white Tai Chi image appeared in front of him. It rapidly expanded and rotated and a handsome cultivator, dressed in white, stepped out of the image.
The cultivator had a head full of white hair, and his eyes, one black, the other white, were shining brightly.
It was indeed the True Disciple who was raising a pair of Yin Yang Koi Fish, Ge
“Brother Ge, your presence brings light to this humble cave of mine.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“I was just passing by and remembered that your dwelling was nearby so I decided to visit you.”
Ge Pu, guided by Lu Xuan, entered the yard.
“How have you been, Junior Brother Lu?”
As soon as Ge Pu settled down, Lu Xuan placed a fruit plate in front of him.
“Thanks for the concern, Brother Ge. Overall, things have been fine I was stationed on a bitterly cold island for three years and I just returned recently.” Upon hearing this, Ge Pu nodded silently.
“The Yin Yang Koi fishes breeding issue that you helped me solve a while ago have finally bred new life. Even their rank has advanced one step, entering the five-grade.”
Ge Pu’s face was filled with joy as he spoke to Lu Xuan.
“Congrats, Brother Ge. With the help of those Spirit Beasts, I believe your Cultivation Level will further improve, enabling you to advance to Core Formation even sooner!”
Lu Xuan congratulated Ge Pu.
“Hahaha, thanks to your brilliant ideas, Junior Brother Lu, the breeding problem of those fishes got solved.”
Ge Pu laughed heartily. The Yin Yang Koi Fish are ancient exotic beasts. Their reproduction, and promotion methods are extremely unique, requiring the conditions of Yin and Yang intersection to produce a pair of young spiritual fish, and then devour the mother’s Yin and Yang Spiritual Energy almost entirely to achieve Nirvana Rebirth.
He practices the Yin Yang Dao Technique, which primarily relies on the Yin Yang Koi Fish.
After they advanced to the fifth-grade Spirit Beasts, Ge Pu’s chance of reaching the Core Formation stage also increased significantly, and he has almost stepped into the realm of Core Formation.
Lu Xuan had contributed significantly to this, and hence Ge Pu felt grateful for it. That’s why he gave Lu Xuan a Sword Command and even recommended him to the Core Formation Elder of the Sect when the Green Xuan Deer appeared. “Having said that, Junior Brother Lu, you do possess some skills in solving the fertility issues of Spirit Beasts.”
“What do you mean, Brother?” Lu Xuan asked with a confused look.
“Previously you were recommended to a True Disciple for feeding insects. His pair of Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects recently gave birth to three larvae.”
Lu Xuan suddenly realized and the image of the taciturn True Disciple in the black Insect robe appeared in his mind.
Along with the Demon Blade Black Mantis that enjoyed slicing its live targets into pieces, the White Jade Spiders which often engaged in internal fights, the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects that hated each other, the Yin Fire Ant Group that took various forms…
“So, those Fourth-Rank Poisonous Insects managed to breed successfully.” “That’s right. They successfully bred three larvae. However, it seems like one of them is having some issues.”
Ge Pu took a sip of the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice.”
“Junior Brother Lu, sure you have experience in raising Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects, you should know something about them.”
“These poisonous insects carry various kinds of lethal poisons, and their toxicity can even kill a Foundation Establishment Mid and Late-term cultivator. They must be frequently fed various kinds of poisonous insects, poisonous fruits, and other poisonous substances.”
“Among the three larvae, two have no problems, but for one of them, whenever it is fed with a poisonous substance, it reacts violently, either fainting or vomiting, or behaving crazily, almost mutating.”
“Junior Brother Zhong Jing Shan tried various methods to barely sustain the larva’s life but slowly got fatigued with the task and plans to dispose of it.” “Is it a problem with their constitution or is the poisonous food unsuitable?” “The food for them is the same, so it should be an issue with the insect’s constitution. Junior Brother Zhong judged that most probably a mutation happened during the breeding stage.”
“A mutated poisonous insect…”
Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
“Are you interested, Junior Brother?”
“Truth be told, I am very interested in all kinds of Spirit Beasts and Insects.”
Lu Xuan answered honestly.
“Then I will take you to have a look, who knows, maybe Junior Brother Lu and that poisonous insect are connected!”
Ge Pu’s black and white eyes lightened up and within seconds, Lu Xuan found himself in a space of black and white chaos.
