I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 601: Chapter 599 Foundation Establishment Perfect_1

A flash of thought passed, and a small silver-white ball appeared in his hand.

The ball was twirling, about the size of a thumb, and inside, pure white mist could be seen condensing and dissipating from time to time.

Where the palm of his hand touched the ball, he could distinctly feel an extremely cold air. Considering how sturdy Lu Xuan’s flesh body is now, this shows how chilling the silver ball is.

He moved his spiritual power, dispelling the cold sensation from his palm, concentrating his mind on the silver-white ball. Suddenly, detailed information appeared about this artifact in his mind.

[Ice Soul Ball, fourth-grade treasure, it was refined from the Hundred-Year Ice Spirit collected from the deep glaciers, contains an immensely cold aura, which can be used to attack enemies, explosively releasing a raging cold wave once deployed, or it can be refined, swallowed, to increase the cultivation speed of certain frost-related techniques.]

“Fourth-grade treasure…”

Lu Xuan sighed, not as joyful as he imagined. The third-rank Ice Firefly Grass yields a fourth-grade treasure, which should be quite good, but his regret was that there was no cultivation reward, which he was really hoping for.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset. Previously, when planting second grade Water Firefly Grass, it occasionally rewarded cultivation levels, and he understood that not every plant was meant to do so.

“Speaking of which, this Ice Soul Ball is quite interesting, and is similar to the former rewards from the Water Firefly Grass.”

He remembered that he once got a third-rank Hundred-Year Ice Spirit from the Light Group of the Water Firefly Grass, and this Ice Soul Ball was refined from the Hundred-Year Ice Spirit and is its upgraded version.

“There are still two plants, and it doesn’t look like they’re too far from maturity. Should I open the rewards now?”

Unable to resist the curiosity in his heart, the light group in his Dantian spun slightly, and a trace of Qingmu Origin Energy flowed from his fingertips into the Ice Firefly Grass plant.

A moment later, the progress beneath the two Ice Firefly Grass plants was filled. Because the rank wasn’t very high, and maturity wasn’t far off, the Qingmu Origin Energy consumed wasn’t much.

“Light Group, give me some cultivation rewards!”

Lu Xuan prayed devoutly, holding his breath and carefully picked one of the plants.

Next, he gently touched the white light group that quietly appeared on the position of the Ice Firefly Grass.

An idea surfaced in his sea of consciousness.

[Harvest one third-rank Ice Firefly Grass, receive a five-year cultivation reward.]

Before Lu Xuan had time to celebrate this thought, huge amounts of spiritual power surged in his body, like a surging tide, crazily.

Assaulting his Flesh body.

He operated the “The Great Five Elements,” guiding the large amount of spiritual power that suddenly appeared, turning it into drops of pure spiritual liquid and merging it into his Dantian.

“It’s almost a perfect foundation establishment.”

He opened his eyes, a glint in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn upwards.

At this moment he felt that the spiritual energy inside his body had reached the limit his Dantian could bear, and he was just one step away from reaching a perfect foundation establishment.

The Ice Firefly Grass Light Group gave him cultivation rewards, which put his worried heart at ease.

This meant that in the future, he could still farm with peace of mind. As for cultivation, he could gain it from harvesting the light groups.

“The ordinary Ice Firefly Grass has given a five-year cultivation reward, which is five times that of the equally ordinary-quality Water Firefly Grass.”

“If we infer from this, then the ‘good quality’ may be ten years.”

“Only after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, due to the decline in the level of cultivating spiritual plants, the cultivation rewards may weaken.”

Lu Xuan thought silently to himself.

He looked at the remaining mature Ice Firefly Grass and simply picked it as well.

“Here comes the ‘good quality’.”

Lu Xuan was secretly delighted in his heart and gently touched the surface of the Light Group.

The light cluster silently shattered, turning into a river of light that rushed into Lu Xuan’s body.

In the next moment, a thought quietly flashed through his mind.

[Harvesting one third-rank Ice Glowworm Grass, receive a reward of ten years of cultivation level.]

Just as the thought disappeared, a surge of spiritual power twice as robust as before occurred within Lu Xuan’s body, just like stunning waves, surging and overwhelming.

Lu Xuan hastily operated his cultivation technique to incessantly absorb and refine the spiritual power.

Gradually, the pure spiritual liquid accumulated in his Dantian became more and more abundant, more and more viscous. Finally, his Dantian abruptly contracted and expanded, and Lu Xuan’s breath rose significantly.

“Foundation Establishment Perfect.”

Feeling the significantly thicker spiritual power within his body, Lu Xuan silently sighed.

At this moment, countless thoughts went through his mind. Apart from joy, there was even more retrospection and recollection.

When he thought back to those years, he was just a small second layer Qi Cultivation loose cultivator, struggling for a livelihood. He borrowed a few spirit stones from Zhang Hong, who lived next door, to rent a Spirit Field and buy Spiritual Seeds.

Unexpectedly, from the maturity of his spiritual plants, the harvest of the white light clusters, his cultivation journey experienced earth-shaking changes.

Not only did he survive in the Loose Repair Market, but he also managed to enter the Sky Sword Sect, constantly cultivating spiritual plants, and harvesting light clusters.

In just twenty to thirty years, he advanced from being a small Qi Cultivation second layer loose cultivator to reaching the perfect realm of Foundation Establishment, and he might even glimpse the possibilities of Core Formation or even entering the Nascent Soul Stage.

“This cultivation speed, even compared to the cultivation geniuses like Ge Pu, Zhong Jing Shan, and Sword Wu Xia from the Sky Sword Sect, is very likely to be faster, not slower.”

He silently sighed within his heart.

“Fortunately, nobody in Thunder Fire Asterism Cave knows about my specific cultivation age and cultivation aptitude. Otherwise, I’m afraid it will bring some troubles.”

“Next, I’ll just stay in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, cultivate spiritual plants, harvest light clusters, and prepare for Core Formation.”

Lu Xuan secretly made a plan.

He had no intentions of harvesting light clusters from the remaining four Glowworm Grass. Instead, he planned to use them all for seed condensation.

The Ice Glowworm Grass was modified from Water Glow Grass. The method for condensing seeds shouldn’t vary much. Lu Xuan possesses the ability to control the status of spiritual plants, allowing him to make minor adjustments which would condense the spiritual seeds.

“After harvesting a batch of spiritual seeds, I can both harvest light clusters and continue accumulating spiritual seeds.”

“The cultivation level rewards from the light clusters, according to the quality of the spiritual plants, were five, ten, and fifteen years at Foundation Establishment Stage. Plus the planted Water Glow Grass, the time needed to break through to the Golden Core Stage will be significantly reduced.”

“In addition, I also have to prepare for the techniques beyond the Core Formation Stage.”

What he got from the Sky Sword Sect, “The Great Five Elements,” did not include techniques beyond Core Formation, therefore Lu Xuan must prepare in advance.

Though he essentially gets his cultivation level from the light clusters, having the appropriate techniques is necessary too.

Of course, it would be even better if he could pull it directly from the light cluster.

Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense swept through the numerous Grade 5 and Grade 6 spiritual plants in the cave mansion, expectations gleaming in his eyes.

“I also need to collect as many elixirs and spiritual objects as possible that can beef up the chance of Core Formation. I aim to succeed in one go.”

The difficulty of breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage to reach the Golden Core Realm is like a natural moat, far higher than when breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

For a successful breakthrough, he must prepare a stock of corresponding elixirs and spiritual objects. He likewise hopes to acquire them from the light clusters,

“The two Holy Baby Fruit Offspring Plants will mature in a few years. I wonder if I can produce a Five-Quality Holy Infant Pill again.”

He couldn’t help but think to himself.
