You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 863: Thousand Year Ancient Tree Heart

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense swept over, and outside the cave abode stood a gaunt priest.

The priest’s aura was profound, his expression solemn, holding a dull grey ancient mirror in his hand.

The rim of the ancient mirror was engraved with many strange runes, as if thousands of evil demons were chaotically mixed together.

“Golden Core Completion Realm?!”

Lu Xuan’s heart shuddered.

The person in front of him showed no signs of demonic intrusion from his appearance, but he dared not be careless. His figure flashed, and he appeared outside the cave abode.

...

“I am Lu Xuan. Forgive me for not greeting you from afar. May I know how to address you, friend?”

“I am Qing Song Daoren, serving as the law enforcement officer for the Sky Star Cave,” the gaunt priest said with a smile and continued speaking.

“Recently, there has been a demonic intrusion in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave; they even killed and occupied the patrolling guards. I am ordered by the Star Master to investigate this matter.”

“May I ask, Friend Lu, have you seen any suspicious cultivators or Sky Star Cave guards?”

Lu Xuan frowned slightly, as if recalling, and soon shook his head.

“Every day I am in my cave abode Cultivating Spiritual Plants, and I have not noticed anything suspicious.”

He did not want to reveal the fact that he could easily detect and even exterminate the demonic beings, so he unhesitatingly denied it.

“Very well, I have a favor to ask,” calmly stated Qing Song Daoren, nodding his head.

“This ancient mirror in my hand is a Strange Treasure. It has an extremely sharp sensitivity to evil demons. I request you, Friend Lu, to relax and let this mirror shine upon you.”

“No problem,” Lu Xuan immediately nodded.

Qing Song Daoren held the ancient mirror in front of Lu Xuan and shook it slightly, intently staring at the mirror’s surface.

The mirror’s surface was still a dull grey, showing no abnormalities.

“That will be all; I hope for your understanding for any inconvenience caused, Friend Lu.”

“That’s alright, I too intend to clear any suspicions against myself.”

“Priest Qing Song, you’ve made a tiresome trip here chasing after the evil demon. Here are a few Spirit Fruits I’ve personally cultivated. They are delicious and should help you feel less weary. I hope you won’t disdain them,” said Lu Xuan as several pink-white Spirit Peaches silently appeared in his hand.

Qing Song Daoren’s Spiritual Sense swept over them, and after confirming there were no problems with the ancient mirror, he casually picked one up and bit into it.

“Excellent, you truly are the most renowned Spirit Plant Master within the Sky Star Cave.”

“Friend Lu, I have pressing matters to attend to, but I’ll come back to chat with you after it’s all handled.”

“Farewell.”

“Take care, Priest. I hope you successfully deal with that evil demon,” Lu Xuan said with a smile as he watched the other leave.

He was focused on the departing figure, detecting no abnormalities, which immediately set his mind at ease.

Afterward, he immediately activated the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array to completely seal the cave abode.

“So they’ve sent a law enforcement ‘Cultivator’ from the Sky Star Cave; it seems that the disturbance caused by this demon is quite significant,” Lu Xuan returned to the courtyard and murmured thoughtfully. ȓ𝐀Ŋо𝐁Ëš

“With this, it’s necessary to upgrade the cave abode’s defensive power again,”

“After all, I have two such dwellings, and although the Abyss Star Cave is under the watch of Ling Gu’s avatar, it’s inevitable that there might be inadequate responses to some situations.”

“Fortunately, we have already made some progress with both Seventh Grade formations.”

“We only need enough mature Star Fruits and Five-Elements Illusory Fruits to possibly complete the Zodiac Star Battle Sword Formation and the Great Five Elements Annihilation Array.”

At this moment, he wished he had more Divine Wood Green Pots to hasten the ripening of all the urgently needed spiritual plants.

“Haste makes waste, let’s gather more pure plant-based Spiritual Energy.”

He injected a large amount of Qingmu Origin Energy into the Verdant Small Pot and placed it into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, quietly waiting for the pot to transform it into a higher quality and more effective plant-based Spiritual Energy.

Over the next period, Lu Xuan noticed that the patrolling intensity around the Thunderfire Star Cave had increased slightly, occasionally spotting “Cultivators” at the Golden Core Late Stage, and even at Golden Core Completion, passing near the cave abode.

Sometimes, “Cultivators” would come to the cave abode, looking for Lu Xuan, to see if any Evil Demon had invaded the cave abode and taken over his flesh body.

Lu Xuan let them check, meanwhile using the Spirit Fruit Spirit Brews given out as a ruse to secretly check on them in return.

The Mirage Demon that he had eliminated became an unsolved mystery, with the Sky Star Cave “Cultivators” scouring the ground, failing to find it for a long time, and eventually giving up, assuming some “Cultivator” had secretly dealt with it or it had already escaped into the depths of the Thunder Sea’s Secret Land.

Naturally, Lu Xuan kept mum, not revealing the slightest detail and continued to portray the image of an Ordinary Spirit Plant Master solely focused on cultivating spiritual plants.

Months passed by in the blink of an eye.

That day, as he was playing with the Thunder Dragon Behemoth and the Green Mountain Scale in the yard, suddenly, his Spiritual Sense detected a slight disturbance in the Spirit Field.

Threads of extremely fine pure Spiritual Energy drifted out from the spiritual plants, slowly converging toward one spot at the center.

Above that spot, a delicate and exquisite Tree Mother was floating still in the air, allowing the pure Spiritual Energy to merge into its tiny body.

The amount of pure Spiritual Energy drifting out from each Spirit Plant was very little, causing no harm to the spirit plants, but the accumulated amount was quite substantial.

As more and more pure Spiritual Energy was absorbed, green lines began to appear on the Tree Mother’s snow-like skin, slowly spreading and eventually reaching its face.

The aura of pure freshness and nature became stronger on its body, and Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense felt as if all the spirit plants in the entire cave abode were cheering and lively.

After absorbing all the pure Spiritual Energy, the Tree Mother opened its eyes, a flash of green light twinkling within them.

“Has it broken through?”

Lu Xuan focused his thoughts on the Tree Mother’s body.

[Tree Mother, Fifth Rank Complete Being, rare plant spirit monster, naturally a mother form, feeds on the Spiritual Energy of spirit plants and plants, capable of altering the surrounding Spiritual Energy environment beneficial to the growth of spirit plants, and gradually comprehending wood-related secret techniques and even Divine Skills.]

“Such a small creature, yet a Fifth Rank monster? However, looking at its info, it seems to be the non-combat type.”

“In a sense, it could be considered a plant spirit monster among Spirit Plant Masters…”

Lu Xuan thought with a bit of mischief.

“But it’s understandable for it to grow so quickly, being a rare plant spirit monster by itself and with so many High Rank Spirit Plants in the cave abode benefitting its growth, leading to a rapid breakthrough into its complete form.”

As he speculated, he softly touched the quietly emerging White Light Group.

The Light Group shattered silently, transforming into a sky full of fine light points, which quickly entered Lu Xuan’s body.

A thought crossed his mind.

[Tree Spirit Monster breaks through to Fifth Rank, received a Six-product treasure Thousand Year Ancient Tree Heart.]

A piece of ancient wood with patches of grey and green appeared in front of Lu Xuan, and upon close examination with his Spiritual Sense, he could perceive a green light sphere inside the center of the wood, emitting an incredibly pure plant-based Spiritual Energy.

Lu Xuan focused his thoughts on the ancient wood, instantly understanding detailed information about it.

[Thousand Year Ancient Tree Heart, Sixth Grade Treasure Item, the most essential part condensed by a thousand-year-old tree, greatly benefits the growth of wood-related monsters, spirit beasts, etc., can also be used to craft wood-related magical treasures, or high-rank puppet cores.]
