I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 1106: Chapter 1103 Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Tree Chapter 1106: Chapter 1103 Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Tree “Thank you, Celestial Sea Ancestor, for bestowing this treasure.”

Lu Xuan received the jade box with both hands and expressed his deep gratitude.

“I hope you will continue to innovate and develop new high-rank Sword Grass to benefit the many disciples of the Sword Sect.”

Celestial Sea Ancestor spoke to Lu Xuan with profound earnestness.

His visit was precisely because he had learned that Lu Xuan had improved the fifth-rank Thunder Abyss Sword Grass, and he took the opportunity of congratulating him to encourage Lu Xuan further.

“The junior understands. I will definitely cultivate more Sword Grass as much as possible.”

Lu Xuan replied solemnly.

“Good.”

“I am just passing by. Staying here any longer would not make you comfortable; enjoy this moment fully.”

Celestial Sea Ancestor nodded gently.

Before his voice had faded, he transformed into a wisp of blue smoke and dissipated in front of everyone.

“It was an avatar of the old ancestor.”

Jian Huanzhen breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted a message to Lu Xuan.

“Go in and entertain the guests.”

“Yes, but as a junior, my words carry little weight. Please, senior brother, accompany me.”

Lu Xuan felt much more relaxed; the presence of a Great Deity of the Spirit Transformation was immensely oppressive, and he feared causing any displeasure.

He and Jian Huanzhen flew into the depths of the palace, briefly expressed their thoughts and welcomed the guests before the celebration officially began.

As everyone enjoyed a variety of rare and exquisite dishes, he and Jian Huanzhen went from table to table, toasting and expressing their gratitude.

The Spirit Brew at the banquet was all made by him, but the Huanzhen Sword Peak had bought it from him under the guise of procurement.

He originally wanted to offer it directly but couldn’t resist the insistence of the Sword Peak to pay with Sword Marks, so he sold it to them at a low price.

“Congratulations to Taoist friend Lu on advancing to Nascent Soul.”

A lean, sharp-eyed middle-aged cultivator saw Lu Xuan and Jian Huanzhen approaching and quickly stood up, smiling in congratulations.

“Many thanks, Taoist friend He.”

Lu Xuan responded with a smile in return.

This man was formerly a Nascent Soul Elder of the Sky Sword Sect. Since Lu Xuan had rejoined the Dongxuan Sword Sect, they had crossed paths several times, but they were merely acquaintances.

After exchanging some pleasantries, his gaze landed on Ge Pu and Fire Scale Child sitting at the same table.

Ge Pu and Fire Scale Child, looking very respectful, were about to greet Lu Xuan when he pre-empted them:
“Taoist friends Ge and Fire, would you mind addressing me as Uncle Master?”

He asked with meaningful intent.

“Ge Pu, Fire Scale Child greet Uncle Master.”

Hearing this, the pair felt reassured that Lu Xuan was still the familiar Spirit Plant Master they knew, and any barriers that had formed due to Lu Xuan’s advancement to Nascent Soul immediately dissolved into nothingness.

“Haha, take your time, my senior brothers. I’ll come and join you for a chat after I’m done.”

Hearing his long-awaited title of Uncle Master, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, shared a drink with Ge Pu and others, and then left reluctantly.

As soon as he left, many nearby Primordial Infant True Monarchs and Golden Core Real People began to speculate about the relationship between Ge Pu’s group and Lu Xuan, with quite a few approaching them to make their acquaintance, much to their amazement.

“Junior brother, you certainly remember old ties.”

Jian Huanzhen stayed nearby, observing that Lu Xuan spent the longest time with several Golden Core disciples and transmitted a message.

“Those are my former fellow disciples, who looked after me quite well; our friendship is deep. Just because I’ve advanced to Nascent Soul doesn’t mean my attitude has changed.”

Lu Xuan stole a moment to transmit back amidst his busyness.

In a corner of the palace.

Wen Qian and Baili Jianqing, still at the Foundation Establishment Realm, felt on pins and needles, utterly uncomfortable.

In such a vast palace, where ordinarily the Primordial Infant True Monarchs were unapproachably distant and the Golden Core Real People were countless.

Even the Sword Sect disciples serving tea and water had Cultivation Levels at the “Early Core Formation stage.”

Looking around the entire palace, only the two of them were at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Had they not had each other for comfort, staying alone in the palace would likely have caused them to faint on the spot.

The two of them closely watched each other, fearing that one might sneak away, leaving the other to face so many Primordial Infant True Monarchs alone.

From the moment they entered the palace, the two felt as if they were in a dreamlike illusion.

“Has the master I follow actually become a Primordial Infant True Monarch?”

Both still couldn’t believe it in their hearts.

“Could you be the Taoist friends Wen Qian and Baili Jianqing from the grocery store in Sword Abyss City?”

A scholarly gentleman quietly approached them and asked gently.

“Indeed, it is us.”

Wen Qian and the other replied in unison, finally displaying some of the shopkeeper’s poise in their demeanor.

“I am Mu Heng from the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, here with Patriarch Mu.”

“The Commerce Association plans to establish a branch near the Dongxuan Sword Sect, which is largely related to Senior Lu. You two Taoist friends have been stationed near the Sword Sect for many years and are experts in all aspects of running a shop. I hope to have a good exchange with you.”

“Moreover, after establishing the branch, we will inevitably have the opportunity to collaborate with your grocery store, making this a perfect opportunity to get acquainted with you two.”

The scholarly gentleman spoke gently.

Though he was at the Golden Core Mid Stage Realm, his words were extremely courteous towards Wen Qian and his companion.

“Daoist friend Mu overly praises us; it should be us asking for advice from the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce.”

Wen Qian spoke normally, exchanging Communication Talismans with Mu Heng.

The celebration lasted a whole day and night.

Many of the attending Primordial Infant True Monarchs gradually left.

After seeing off the last person, Lu Xuan returned to his cave abode, feeling slightly fatigued in spirit.

“Hosting a celebration centered around oneself is truly exhausting.”

“Fortunately, I have so many congratulatory gifts to console my weary body and mind.”

With a sweep of his hand, the received gifts spread out on the ground.

“First, let’s take a look at the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed sent by Elder Celestial Sea.”

Lu Xuan was particularly interested in the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed specially gifted by the Divinity Transformation Elder.

He gently opened the Jade Box.

A faint dragon’s roar could be heard, and a golden slender True Dragon’s phantom, amidst countless Buddhist lights, swiftly flew out.

After spiraling in the air a few times, it instantly fell back into the Jade Box.

Inside the box lay an oddly shaped Spirit Seed, its coiling form somewhat resembling the dragon’s phantom seen earlier.

Lu Xuan took the Spirit Seed to the Spirit Field.

Using the Earth Pulling Technique, he placed the seed into a perfectly sized crack.

Concentrating his mind upon it, a thought flashed through his Sea of Consciousness.

[Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Tree, a Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, esteemed tree of residence for the Eight Heavenly Dragons at Vajra Bodhi Temple in the great Brahma heavens, requires planting in a place rich in Buddhist Power and nourished by Buddhist Treasure Items. Upon maturity, the Spirit Wood harbors powerful Buddhist nature, possessing the effect of suppressing and exorcising demons.]
“Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Tree! It indeed is a Seventh Grade Spirit Plant! And a rare one related to the Buddhist Gate at that.”

Lu Xuan felt a surge of joy within his heart.

He had previously cultivated high-grade Buddhist related Spirit Plants like Vajra Bodhi and Buddha Sitting Lotus, receiving substantial rewards from the light clusters, hence he held a favorable impression towards such Buddhist related Spirit Plants.

“Elder Celestial Sea is quite generous to gift a Seventh Grade Buddhist Spirit Seed!”

He couldn’t help but express his feelings.

Even if Spirit Seeds are the least valuable among similar rank treasure items, it was still a genuine Seventh Grade Treasure Item, extremely rare in the Cultivation World.

The ones he had cultivated before were either obtained through deceiving, high-priced trades, or as a repayment of personal favors, but receiving a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed purely as a congratulatory gift was a first for him.
