The next day, Lu Xuan inspected the Spirit Field and then cultivated his spiritual plants using various lower-tier formula methods. He then watched as the Grass Puppet continued to move slowly within the field.

“You didn’t just walk around in the Spirit Field all night, did you? Stop, stop.” The Grass Puppet continued to slowly stretch out its straw-like legs.

It was only when Lu Xuan had returned to the house that it finally reacted and stopped, with its straw head turned towards the Spirit Field.

I m planning to go out for a while; do you want to come along?”

Lu Xuan said to the Bi Jing Cloud Treading Mink lying on the floor after he entered the house.

“Meow…”

The Mink Juvenile Beast gave a low cry with a suppressed throat, looking indifferent as it walked to the doorway.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan knew that it was just playing hard to get and that it actually couldn’t wait to come with him.

Sure enough, when he reached out to touch the Mink’s fur, the Juvenile Beast made a symbolic struggle before obediently laying on Lu Xuan’s shoulder.

Four white clouds clung to Lu Xuan’s clothes like snow, with the Mink’s pointed ears standing upright and its grayish-white fur fluttering in the wind. With the dwindling stock of Spirit Beast Meat and Spirit Rice at home, Lu Xuan planned to buy some at the market.

After feeding the Three-Tailed Red Whisker Carp and the Bi Jing Cloud Treading Mink, the consumption of Spirit Beast Meat and Spirit Rice had greatly increased. Lu Xuan could only hope for better rewards from the light clusters when they matured to satisfy them.

As for the mature Nine Spiritual Firefly Grasses, he didn’t plan to sell them to the ‘Ba, Cao Tang’ just yet. Instead, he kept them in the White Jade Box inside his storage bag, intending to deal with them once he had more. novelbuddy.c(o)m

After arriving at the market, as usual, Lu Xuan scanned around the various stalls, looking to obtain the unknown spiritual seeds, spirit beast eggs, or young beasts he wanted.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t lucky enough to find them.

He calmly entered a shop and bought twenty pounds of the lowest grade Spirit Rice and five pounds of Demon Beast Meat, spending a total of over ten spirit stones.

After that, he had about eighty spirit stones left in his hand.

After putting the Spirit Rice and Demon Beast Meat into his storage bag, Lu Xuan was about to leave when suddenly, a huge demonic bird flew across the sky with its wings flapping.

The demonic bird’s wingspan was around thirty feet, casting a large shadow on the ground.

“This is the Wang Family’s third-rank demonic beast, the Iron-winged eagle. It has been raised for hundreds of years and has the strength equivalent to a Foundation Establishment first-term cultivator.”

Looking like this, it’s probably carrying a group of cultivators who are returning from a newly opened secret land.”

In the market, a cultivator with profound knowledge said in a low voice.

Sure enough, not long after the Iron-winged eagle passed, a variety of demonic birds and flying boats successively flew over the market.

They finally landed in a spacious square hundreds of feet away.

Lu Xuan followed the crowd and watched from a distance.

“That’s Wang Wenhong, a high-grade Qi practitioner. Among the young talents of the Wang Family, his cultivation is one of the highest. It’s said that he was taken to the wilderness for trial.”

One steady-looking youth walked out of the square with a crimson sword in

his hand, emitting a subtle killing aura as he walked.

“I wonder how the development of that new secret land is going? Do we loose cultivators have a chance to go in and get a share of the leftovers?”

“You, with your Qi Cultivation Second Layer, want to enter the new secret land’ Not to mention the Wang Family and the loose cultivators who went to reclaim it would scrape the secret land clean; even if there is anything good left, you wouldn’t be able to enter the gate of the secret land with your cultivation.” “What have these cultivators from the Wang Family been encountering in the secret land? They all look so serious.”

“There’s no need to be suspicious. This is just a regular return for supplies and rest.”

The loose cultivators in the market were abuzz with discussion, while Lu Xuan carefully observed from within the crowd.

In addition to a large group of cultivators from the Wang Family, there were also hundreds of loose cultivators who had returned.

Many loose cultivators didn’t carry storage bags; their waists were bulging, showing that they had reaped significant gains.

Every loose cultivator seemed uneasy, showing signs of doubt, retrospect, and heaviness…

Lu Xuan took a quick glance around, but he didn’t see Zhang Hong. However, he wasn’t too worried about Zhang Hong’s safety. After all, it hadn’t been long since Zhang Hong’s last return. Considering the long journey, he wouldn’t waste time going back and forth easily.

He quietly withdrew from the crowd.

With so many cultivators coming back, he presumed that the market would flush out quite a few good items these next few days. He planned to keep a more vigilant watch.

Once back home, he carefully stored the spirit rice and demon beast meat he took out, warning the Cloud Leopard not to sneak into the kitchen for meat, otherwise he would leave it without any treats to eat.

In the afternoon, Wang Shan made a visit.

Right as he stepped in, the Cloud Leopard Juvenile Beast’s jade green eyes fiercely stared at him, growling in a low voice.

“Roar-!”

“This is a demonic beast that I bought from the market some time ago. Its wild nature is not yet tamed, I apologize if it disturbed you, Wang Fellow Daoist,” Lu Xuan gently patted the Cloud Leopard’s head, signalling it to quiet down as he spoke to Wang Shan with a smile.

“Not at all, Brother Lu has interesting tastes, keeping such a demon beast. However, the eyes of this Cloud Leopard indeed look out of the ordinary ” Wang Shan remarked.

“Appearances can be deceiving, there’s nothing extraordinary about it,” Lu

Xuan replied casually.

“As for taming this little guy, I primarily intended it to guard the house Also living alone for long can get rather boring, so having something to accompany me is certainly better.”

“Unlike you, Brother Wang, being constantly in the company of a gentle, fragrant and soft beauty, I daresay you’re living in absolute bliss,” Lu Xuan teased.

Having not seen each other in a while, Wang Shan’s complexion seemed even more radiant than before.

“Hahaha!”

Wang Shan burst out laughing.

“I came here to give Little Brother Lu a friendly reminder.”

“Hundreds, perhaps thousands of loose cultivators have returned from a newly discovered secret land in the wilderness, each carrying valuable items. Naturally, this will attract many coveters. This being their most sensitive period, conflicts tend to break out easily.”

“Earlier today, two disputes already occurred in the North District, causing the death of three loose cultivators.”

“In addition to that, the unpredictable demon envoys in the wilderness could potentially infiltrate the city along with them. Friend Lu, please be extra cautious.”

“I appreciate the reminder, Wang Fellow Daoist,” Lu Xuan replied gratefully.

No matter how tumultuous the outside world was, he was simply going to stay in his courtyard, cultivating spiritual plants.

If any cultivator dared to disrupt his peaceful farming life, he wouldn’t let them off easily.

After a brief conversation, Wang Shan went on to patrol the various streets in the North District.

Lu Xuan firmly locked the door to his courtyard, isolating it from the outside through array formations.

Not long after, a soft voice resounded from outside the courtyard.

“Brother Lu, are you home?”

It was Wang Shan’s concubine.

As Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door, the gorgeous Lady Wang quietly stood at the entrance. Her loose robe couldn’t hide her curvy figure, her eyes cast downward. Seeing Lu Xuan emerge, she lifted her head, her moving eyes seemed to ripple like water, filled with grace and charm.

“Lady Wang, what brings you here?” Lu Xuan asked.

“Some strange noises have been emanating from my house. I’m scared being by myself. Could Brother Lu come help me check it out?” Lady Wang asked, her demeanor frail, reminiscent of a timid rabbit ready to bolt at any movement.

A strange smile formed on Lu Xuan’s lips.

A newly wedded couple with the husband preoccupied with many duties leaving the wife at home with trouble arising and no other option but to seek the help of a young neighbor.

Why did this situation feel so familiar?
