I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 617: Chapter 615 Nine Confucian Treasure Tree

“Thunder Fellow Daoist need not worry about Lu Mou.”

“Recently, I went to the Plucking Stars Sea Tower Commerce Association and acquired many high-rank spiritual plants. I bought a large quantity of elixirs that enhance spiritual power, and with their help, I managed to break through by chance to the Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm, thus gaining a bit more self-defense capability,”

Lu Xuan said slowly.

“With my cultivation level combined with formation defenses and some high-grade talismans, if an evil cultivator were to really infiltrate, I should be able to hold them off.”

“Friend Lu has broken through to Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm? Congratulations, congratulations!”

Lei Zheng scanned Lu Xuan’s body with his spiritual sense and said with a smile.

“It’s merely dead cultivation level, built up by elixirs, the hope of progressing further is extremely slim, unlike Thunder Fellow Daoist whose great path is promising,”

Lu Xuan showed a helpless expression.

“To break through to Foundation Establishment Perfect, regardless of the method, is already quite commendable. Friend Lu, you mustn’t belittle yourself.”

Lei Zheng said indifferently.

“If you notice the trace of an evil cultivator, you can use a communication talisman to ask for my help, and I will come to assist immediately.”

Previously, Lu Xuan had helped him by dealing with the abnormal Thunder Wing Bird at Thunderfire Star Cave Envoy Qi Wuheng’s, and he was quite grateful. He had also witnessed Lu Xuan’s extraordinary capabilities with spirit plants and spirit beasts and was keen on getting to know him better.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Then I thank Thunder Fellow Daoist,”

“Thunder Fellow Daoist has already entered the Foundation Establishment Perfect and is skilled in the Thunder Method. With your promise, we will surely fear no evil cultivator,”

A hint of perfectly timed joy appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.

The two chatted casually for a while.

“By the way, Friend Lu, do you still remember that matter about the spiritual seed I mentioned to you before?”

How could I forget! I’ve been thinking about it for a long time!

Lu Xuan shouted in his heart.

“I have some recollection,”

Seeing that he was about to take the bait, he showed great patience and pretended to be indifferent.

“This spiritual seed is quite special, not only in origin, but the seed itself is also exceedingly rare,”

A flicker of hesitation passed through Lei Zheng’s eyes, then his expression turned resolute.

“Have Friend Lu ever heard of a Confucian Path Cultivator?”

“I have heard of it, they seem extremely rare, and their cultivation process places great emphasis on nurturing one’s qi,”

Lu Xuan nodded softly, having only heard of those practicing Confucian Path after arriving in the Central State.

Cultivators need to be well-versed in all scholars and classical literature, nurturing qi within the body including literary qi and righteous qi, enabling themselves to combat with qi and often appearing in the secular world.

“Among the Seven Realms of Central Continent, there is a realm called Great Xia Realm, where the path of letters flourishes, and most of the cultivators practicing Confucian Path gather there. The other six realms have only a few,”

“Years ago, I traveled to the Great Xia Realm and accidentally obtained a special spiritual seed, a heritage treasure of a major clan.”

“Since I did not know the category of the spiritual seed, naturally, I was also unaware of how to cultivate it, so I have kept it stored in my storage bag,”

Lei Zheng said gravely.

The origin of the spiritual seed was not ordinary; he had intended to cultivate it himself, but since he couldn’t find the method to do so, it had just sat in his storage bag accumulating dust.

Now, changing his mind to entrust the seed to Lu Xuan to cultivate it on his behalf.

First, because he understood that Lu Xuan was skilled in the path of spiritual plants and was considered trustworthy.

Secondly, the spiritual seed showed signs of losing its vitality. Either action needed to be taken swiftly or a way found to cultivate it, and he did not want the precious but painstakingly obtained rare spiritual seed to end up with someone else. After much hesitation, he decided to place his trust in Lu Xuan.

“Friend Lu, do you have the confidence to cultivate it successfully?”

He turned his head to look at Lu Xuan, and asked solemnly.

“I might not have confidence in other areas, but when it comes to Spirit Plants, I do have some talent,” said Lu Mou.

Lu Xuan was full of confidence.

“Thunder Fellow Daoist, rest assured in entrusting the Spiritual Seeds to me. I, Lu Mou, promise you, I will definitely cultivate it for you,” he declared.

He was extremely curious about the Spiritual Seeds related to the Confucian Path that Lei Zheng mentioned, and could hardly wait to start cultivating them.

“With words like those from Friend Lu, that is enough,” Lei Zheng said.

Lei Zheng nodded and took out a peculiarly shaped Spiritual Seed from his Storage Bag.

The seed was oval, the size of a chicken egg, and seemed to be wrapped by countless black lines of varying depths, emitting an ink-like scent that drifted to Lu Xuan’s nose.

Upon closer inspection, those black lines were actually characters in black, ever-changing in form, which was why they weren’t recognized at first glance.

“Is this the special Spiritual Seed you mentioned, Thunder Fellow Daoist?” asked Lu Xuan the moment he saw the seed, his spirits lifting, his gaze glued to the seed.

“Yes, what do you think, Friend Lu?” Lei Zheng asked, a bit uneasy despite his usual calm demeanor.

“No problem, rest assured, it can definitely be cultivated,” Lu Xuan affirmed confidently three times in a row.

“Then I entrust the Spiritual Seed to you, Friend Lu,” Lei Zheng said.

Hearing Lu Xuan’s words gave Lei Zheng much relief.

The rank and variety of the seed appeared incredibly unusual and of great significance, so the two of them established a Heart Demon oath, mainly to bind Lu Xuan who received the seed, to prevent him from being tempted to steal it.

Of course, there were also requirements for Lei Zheng; during the cultivation process of the Spirit Plant, if there were any special growing conditions, he was obliged to fulfill them.

Lu Xuan naturally had no intention of stealing it; acquiring the Light Cluster was already a huge profit, and there was no need to compromise his conscience and diminish his reputation.

After Lei Zheng handed over the Spiritual Seed, he did not stay for long and bid farewell.

Lu Xuan watched as his figure disappeared among the flashing thunder lights, and, unable to wait any longer, rushed to the Spirit Field to place the black character Spiritual Seed into the Spirit Soil.

His mind focused on the seed in the shallow layer of the Spirit Soil, and soon, information about the seed appeared in his mind.

[Nine Confucian Treasure Tree, Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant, formed from a great Confucian’s life force after passing. His scholarly aura seeped into the Spirit Plant, condensing into the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree Seed.]

[The growing process of the Spirit Plant requires a dense scholarly aura environment, listening to poetry and Confucian classics. The branches and leaves, once matured, can be used to craft Confucian Path Magical Instruments and Magic Treasures. Eating the condensed Spirit Fruit significantly enhances the scholarly aura inside a Confucian Path Cultivator’s body.]

[With scholarly elegance and a belly full of books, one’s demeanor naturally becomes refined!]

“A Confucian Path Spirit Plant? There actually exists such a plant in the world…”

Lu Xuan’s eyes were opened wide, filled with surprise and delight.

At his current Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm, acquiring a Fifth Grade Spiritual Seed required enormous luck; to randomly come upon this Sixth Grade Nine Confucian Treasure Tree was an incredible surprise.

“Lei Zheng probably had no idea that the special Spiritual Seed in his possession was so rare,” Lu Xuan could not help but comment.

Though the seed was precious, he harbored no thoughts of greed toward the Spirit Plant; when the plant matured, he would naturally receive a generous reward, not to mention the occurrence of the White Light Group.

That was the highest value existence, far more precious than the Spirit Plant itself.

“I thought owning that Fifth Grade Buddhist Spirit Plant Vajra Bodhi was lucky enough, only to gain an even higher rank and more rare kind of Confucian Path related Spirit Plant,” Lu Xuan thought to himself, unable to suppress the smile on his face, bursting with joy.
