You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 1025: The Hope of the Entire Village

“Brother Ge is overpraising me, how could Lu Mou, a mere Spirit Plant Master, possibly influence the rankings of the nine great Sword Peaks?”

Lu Xuan spoke with a smile.

“Indeed, there is such a possibility.”

“As far as I know, one of the main reasons why Huan Zhen Sword Peak has been at the bottom in the recent competitions is the absence of a genius Disciple who is proficient in all cultivation skills within Sword Peak.”

“Junior Brother Lu’s arrival this time is at least a great improvement for Huan Zhen Sword Peak, and it might affect the final outcome.”

“Really?”

Lu Xuan maintained a skeptical attitude, though he had absolute confidence in his mastery of Cultivating Spiritual Plants, he was also aware that he was merely a Golden Core Late Stage Inner Sect Disciple;considered nothing special in the midst of the talented cultivators abundant in the nine great Sword Peaks.

“Please do enlighten me further about the competition, Brother.”

He sat straight, his expression solemn.

“The Sword Peak competition entails a comprehensive assessment of various aspects.”

“The two main points are, first, the achievements made by each Sword Peak over the past thirty years.”

“How many Inner Sect Disciples they have recruited, whether there are newly promoted Primordial Infant True Monarchs, discoveries of new High Rank Sword techniques, and so on.”

“Among these, the mastery of the hundred cultivation arts is also included, such as possessing certain new Artifact Refining techniques, researching and implementing new High Rank Formations, or improving Sword Grass Spirit Plants.”

“When Junior Brother Lu first joined Huan Zhen Sword Peak, the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd he improved were both counted as achievements of Sword Peak.”

“As for the other aspect of comparison, it’s the instant strength of each Sword Peak.”

“The Primordial Infant True Monarchs do not need to compete in Cultivation Level or Divine Skills, but instead in number and Realm.

Golden Core Stage Sword Sect Disciples do need to have a proper bout, though those of the Golden Core Completion Realm are not included as they need to prepare for the breakthrough to Nascent Soul, fearful of being affected during the competition.”

“Each Sword Peak selects thirty Inner Sect Disciples, ten each from the early, middle, and late stages of the Golden Core, with Disciples of the same Realm competing against each other, followed by an overall ranking.”

“Junior Brother Lu, you are currently in the late Golden Core Stage;would you like to give it a try?”

Ge Pu asked with a smile.

“Brother is joking, with my strength, facing someone one or two minor Realms below myself, I might be able to suppress the opponent with my Cultivation Level, but if I were to face an Inner Sect Disciple of the same Realm, I’d hardly stand much chance.”

“So I’d better not go up and make a fool of myself.”

Lu Xuan Laughed.

He had only recently broken through to the Golden Core Completion and, out of a desire for modesty, had not revealed it;theoretically, he still had a chance to participate in the competition.

But if he really participated, his Cultivation Level might have nowhere to hide under the scrutiny of many Primordial Infant True Monarchs and even Great Deities of the Spirit Transformation

In a fight during the competition, he was confident he could achieve an excellent ranking, but that could easily expose the Treasures he possessed, which would bring unnecessary troubles upon himself.

“I’d better put on a good show in the areas of Spirit Plant cultivation and Talisman Making.”

He thought to himself.

“In the end, the mastery of the hundred cultivation arts is also within the range of comparison and is not limited by Cultivation Level.”

“This means, Junior Brother Lu, when you’re making Talismans or brewing Spirit Brew, you might come face-to-face with a Primordial Infant True Monarch.”

“Among the hundred arts, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Charms, and Formations have relatively higher scores, which can more easily affect the Sword Peak rankings.”

“Being a Spirit Plant Master, especially one proficient in Cultivate Sword Grass like Junior Brother Lu, holds a status in Sword Peak no lower than that of Artifact Refiners and Alchemists.”

“As for Spirit Brew, its importance is much less;even with high scores, it has a minimal effect on the rankings of each Sword Peak.”

“How will Spirit Plant Masters be compared? High Rank Spirit Plants take decades to mature;even if they’re planted now, they might not be ready by the next Sword Peak competition.”

Lu Xuan zeroed in on the key point and asked.

“Of course, it won’t be like that.”

“Before the competition, Spirit Plant Masters have to provide their information to the Sword Hall Elders, including the types and Ranks of Spirit Plants they excel at cultivating.”

“At the competition, the true level of your skill with those plants will be tested, then comprehensively scored.”

“Additionally, there is an inspection of various foundational Formula Methods for Cultivating Spiritual Plants and a great deal of knowledge about basic, high-level, and obscure Spirit Plants.”

“Lastly, they will be placed into an illusion created by a High Order Magical Artifact that accelerates time to realistically simulate Cultivating Spiritual Plants.”

Ge Pu explained in detail to Lu Xuan.

“This way, it seems quite comprehensive and considerate.”

Lu Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

“Haha, I should not stay for long, so I bid you farewell.

I look forward to Junior Brother Lu’s performance in the Sword Peak competition.”

After chatting for a while, Ge Pu stood up to leave.

A few days later, another disciple from the Sword Peak came to visit.

“I am Chen Jing, and I pay my respects to Junior Brother Lu.”

A handsome and distinguished-looking young man greeted Lu Xuan with a bow.

“So, it’s Senior Brother Chen, I’ve long admired your name.”

Lu Xuan smiled and returned the greeting, inviting Chen Jing into the cave dwelling.

“The brother’s cave dwelling is indeed suitable for cultivating spiritual plants.”

Chen Jing looked around, took the spirit brew Lu Xuan offered, and said with a laugh.

“Thanks to the generous love of several Sword Peak elders, this cave dwelling with its dense spiritual energy and broad space was given to me.”

Lu Xuan sat next to Chen Jing and spoke earnestly.

He had been in the Huan Zhen Sword Peak for many years, and though he had spent nearly ten years in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, he had come to understand the Sword Peak insiders thoroughly.

The young man before him had been in the Golden Core Late Stage for many years, and his Sword Path cultivation was quite remarkable. In his early years, he had integrated a segment of Seventh Grade Sword Bone into his body, and among the many Inner Sect disciples of the Huan Zhen Sword Peak, he stood at the forefront in strength and had considerable prestige.

“That’s all due to the accomplishments you’ve earned yourself,” said Chen Jing in a gentle tone.

“I came here because there is something I need Junior Brother Lu’s assistance with.”

“Senior Brother Chen can speak freely,” Lu Xuan laughed.

“Have you heard of the Sword Peak great competition?”

“Such a grand event of the sect, Lu Mou naturally has heard about it,” said Lu Xuan. “I heard it’s going to be held in a little while.”

“That’s right, there’s one thing you probably have figured out as well.”

“In the recent Sword Peak competitions, Huan Zhen Sword Peak has always been at the bottom, which is a disgrace for the entire Sword Peak.”

Chen Jing’s expression grew serious, as he spoke with a hint of frustration.

“From the Nascent Soul elders down to the many Inner Sect disciples, our resources for cultivation have been greatly affected.

At the same time, in the presence of cultivators from the other Sword Peaks, we can’t even hold our heads up high and naturally feel inferior.”

“I am willing to join the elders and my fellow disciples in changing this situation,” Lu Xuan replied solemnly.

“Good, Junior Brother Lu. Your willingness is enough.”

“In the Sword Peak competition, the combat power of Huan Zhen Sword Peak is generally decent, not the weakest.”

“What often affects our ranking is the achievements over every thirty years and the other cultivation arts being too far behind.”

“This time, with the new Sword Grass Sword Gourd varieties that Junior Brother has contributed before, we can substantially improve our scores in the realms of spirit plant cultivation, talisman making, and spirit brewing.”

“If so, there is a great chance for us to make a leap upwards.”

“So, everything is entrusted to you, Junior Brother Lu.”

Chen Jing rose to his feet, bowed, and said respectfully.

“Why do I feel like I’ve become the hope of the whole village?”

Seeing Chen Jing so serious, an absurd thought arose in Lu Xuan’s mind.
