You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 651: Vajra Bodhi Matures

“Why have those annoying people from the Heavenly Star Cave come again?”

Amidst the sky full of faint thunder lights, the form of the Roushan Cultivator slowly became visible, looking exceedingly impatient as he glanced into the distance before fleeing far away.

In his memory, the frequency of encountering patrols and guards from the Heavenly Star Cave had increased lately, and it was not unusual to find Jindan Cultivators leading a fully armed group passing by nearby.

He himself was also a Loose Cultivator who rented a place in the Heavenly Star Cave, but not in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave. According to the rules of the Heavenly Star Cave, he could only stay temporarily in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, and if he stayed too long, he’d have to provide an explanation to the higher-ups of the Heavenly Star Cave.

If it was just the first two encounters, he might be able to make up an excuse, but if he were discovered too many times, the excuses would no longer be sufficient.

“I really want to devour them all in one bite!”

The Roushan Cultivator appeared in a valley, his black flesh undulating, revealing an intense, extreme longing.

But it was only a thought in his heart; although he was strong enough to deal with the patrol guards, if a hint of information leaked out, it would definitely provoke endless pursuit from the Heavenly Star Cave. Forget the Primordial Infant Great Power; even any Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator could easily take him down.

“If they keep investigating like this, sooner or later the Heavenly Star Cave will discover it.”

“That guy is really too lucky, having hid in that shell for so long without any communication with the outside world.”

“I’ll have to wrong you for now, and wait until he comes out of the Cave Abode.”

He dug out a chunk of flesh covered in black smoke from his chest, feeding it to a grey-black tongue exuding a strong vengeful aura, deciding in his heart to temporarily give up and seek an opportunity another day.

...

“Finally, it’s quiet.”

Lu Xuan looked at the gray-white pupil in his hand and let out a sigh of relief to himself.

Although he had a formation for protection, it was still quite uncomfortable to have a cultivator with malicious intent constantly watching him.

Under the pressure exerted by the Heavenly Star Cave, the obese cultivator had finally retreated on his own, and the Void Nightmare Eye hadn’t detected his presence for many days.

“It’s time to visit the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce. They sent a charm asking me to identify some Spiritual Medicine harvested from a Strange Realm, and I’ve already delayed it for several days. Any longer might negatively impact my reputation,” Lu Xuan thought to himself.

To be cautious, he did not directly leave his Cave Abode.

At the edge of the Cave Abode, he took out an Earth Yellow Spirit Bead from his storage bag and applied the “Earth Element Secret Book”, integrating into the rocks laced with fine thunder lights.

Enhanced by two earth escape treasures, he moved swiftly and easily through various rocks and soil, as natural as a fish swimming in water.

“This rate of earning Spirit Stones is somewhat terrifying, and that’s without even utilizing those Fifth Rank Treasure items.”

He marveled inwardly, recognizing more than ever the value of those Light Clusters.

Having returned from the Star Plucking Building to the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, he still changed his breath and appearance, using the Earth Element Secret Book and the aid of the Orb of Earth Movement, he silently returned to his Cave Abode.

After a trip out, fulfilling his Guest Elder duties, retrieving a large batch of Middle Grade Spiritual Stones, and incidentally purchasing some cultivation necessities, he could once again settle down in his Cave Abode to focus on farming.

Time passed, and before he knew it, two months had gone by.

Lu Xuan sat cross-legged on the cushion, his mind sinking into his Dantian.

The golden Elixir pulsated slightly, with a pale azure Pill Fire burning quietly within.

At the center of the Golden Core was a miniature and exquisite golden peacock, its hair-thin feathers like fine swords, freely soaring within the Golden Core, basking in the refinement of the Pill Fire.

Around the peacock, there was also a grey-white pouch, clinging to the inner wall of the Golden Core and wriggling as if it had a life of its own.

“After such a long period of refining the Peacock King Sword and the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, there is now somewhat of a low-grade magical treasure embryonic form.”

Lu Xuan’s heart swelled with joy. With a thought, a giant golden sword shot out from his body, tracing complex and profound trajectories around it.

After being refined by Pill Fire, the Peacock King Sword could be wielded with ease according to his will, consuming less Spiritual Power and easier to control.

The Flying Sword was full of Spiritual Nature, as if an extension of Lu Xuan’s own limbs, its might increased more than twofold.

The Gluttonous Insect Pouch, too, became more marvelous after refinement, with its space greatly expanded and seemingly connected to the Void, showing faint signs of birthing Spatial Divine Abilities.

Lu Xuan opened his mouth and inhaled, and the Peacock King Sword immediately entered through his mouth, transforming into a delicate golden peacock, returning to the Golden Core.

After fully refining the two Fifth-grade Magical Artifacts, Lu Xuan noticed that it was still early, so he went to the Spirit Field to check on the numerous Spirit Plants.

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant came from the distant Spirit Field, the sound imbued with a bright and steadfast power, as if it could purify the impurities of the world, lingering for a long time.

Seeing this phenomenon, Lu Xuan felt a surge of happiness, his figure moving like a streak of light to a patch of Spirit Field in front of where the Buddhist Magic Dharmapala Maul was placed.

Atop the Diamond Bodhi Spirit Plant, the Bodhi seed at the summit shone brilliantly, illuminating the surroundings, the figure of the Diamond Bodhi so rich it seemed tangible, lifelike.

“The Diamond Bodhi has finally matured!”
