"Of course, I wouldn't doubt you, Friend Lu."
The middle-aged cultivator took two steps back under Lu Xuan's piercing gaze.
"I just want to understand more about your planting methods. After all, I did spend over thirty spirit stones on it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan scoffed.
"Okay, let me ask you? Has the quality of the twenty Spirit Firefly Grass plants you picked improved?"
"Compared to before, there are two or three more of good quality, but the superior quality ones remain unchanged.
The middle-aged cultivator answered truthfully.
"Then isn't that it?"
"There are two or three more plants of ordinary quality turned good quality. This is with only a short time of meticulous cultivation. Given more time, the average quality will improve further."
"Three more plants of good quality means you can earn nearly one more spirit stone. If you plant tens or hundreds of Spirit Firefly Grass, you can earn several spirit stones."
-The Spirit Firefly Grass is a non-grade Spirit Plant which matures quickly. You can get three or four harvests a year. This way, you can recover the spirit stones you spent in just a few years."
"Moreover, this method is effective for other spirit plants as well."
"So, Friend Zhou, do you have any more doubts?"
After finishing his words, Lu Xuan paid no further attention to the middle-aged cultivator and left.
Not far away, he was stopped by him.
"Did I give up most of my cultivation time and spend so many spirit stones just to earn that little bit of spirit stones?"
"You must tell me the secret today. Otherwise, I won't let it go."
He said fiercely, a hint of threat in his tone.
During this time, he hadn't been cultivating much. He had been focusing all his time on meticulously cultivating spirit plants.
He originally thought that he would get high-quality Spirit Firefly Grass. But the result disappointed him greatly, as the improvement was minimal.
A huge gap between expectations and reality led him to subconsciously believe that Lu Xuan had hidden something from him. Unable to hold back, he waited at Bai Cao Tang for Lu Xuan, hoping to pry the cultivating key out of him.
"I have explained everything clearly."
Lu Xuan shook off his hand, subtly sliding a Million Swords Qi Talisman onto
his wrist.
"Giving up your cultivation time was your choice.
"I can assure you that my method is correct and effective. If you follow my instructions and meticulously cultivate the spirit plants over a long period of time, the average quality of your spirit plants will definitely improve."
"As for whether you can get perfect quality Spirit Firefly Grass or other spirit plants, that depends on a Spirit Plant Master's individual talent and level of effort."
"I gave up cultivation, focused all my energy on cultivating spirit plants, and had a strong natural affinity for spirit plants. This has allowed me to accurately sense the needs of the spirit plants and cultivate perfect quality ones."
"AU has been said. If you continue to pester me, Friend Zhou, don't blame me for being impolite."
Lu Xuan warned the middle-aged cultivator and left without acknowledging his relentless questioning.
"You…"
"You will be repaid for this!"
Behind him, the angry voice of the middle-aged cultivator echoed. Lu Xuan found it amusing. He felt that he had been true to his conscience. The method he told this No-Organization Spirit Plant Master was indeed effective, and could slightly improve the quality of the spirit plants he planted.
The only and greatest difference between the two was that Lu Xuan could clearly master the real-time status of the spirit plants, able to meet their delicate needs at any time. The appearance of the white light cluster made him no longer worry about stagnation in cultivation or lack of treasures.
As long as that spirit plant master could calm down and meticulously cultivate the spirit plants in the way Lu Xuan had explained, it wouldn't take long before he could earn back the spent spirit stones.
But he was clearly impatient for results, and after seeing the quality of the spirit plants that Lu Xuan had grown, he became somewhat off-balance, acting out of turn.
As for his mention of retribution? Lu Xuan, considering his deep cultivation, multiple magic artifacts, and charms, didn't take his words to heart.
He arrived at the loose cultivation market.
Since cultivators were continually mutating into monstrous creatures, the number of Enforcement Hall cultivators in the market was noticeably greater than before.
The cultivators were also constantly vigilant.
Lu Xuan, in this heavy atmosphere, quickly moved, his eyes passing over the stalls on both sides.
At the stalls, many cultivators were selling demon beast materials, mostly from wastelands and secret lands, and a few were self-reared, among which demon beast meat was the majority.
After all, eating demon beast meat could slightly enhance the spiritual power in a cultivator's body and was considered a daily consumable.
Secondly, there were those special parts that could be used to refine magic artifacts, such as the fur, scale armor, skeleton, and so on of some demon beasts.
Occasionally, Lu Xuan came across stalls selling demon beast blood as well. Expectantly, he inquired about the species of the demon beasts. Unfortunately, none of it was snake-devil beast blood.
Finally, he found a vial of python's blood at a stall run by a young cultivator in the first level of Qi cultivation.
The python, known as the black line snake, was un-ranked. According to the teenager, he and his companions had together killed the snake. Since he had contributed the least, he didn't get the python's skin or fangs, but only a small vial of black line snake blood, which he put up for sale at the stall with an excited mentality.
Lu Xuan spent seventy spirit fragments and bought that small vial of black line snake blood from the young man.
The young man, who thought that the snake blood would go wasted in his hands, hadn't expected to accidently receive seventy spirit fragments and hurriedly bowed to Lu Xuan to express his gratitude.
Lu Xuan returned to his yard with the snake blood.
Upon entering the spirit field, everything was as usual; the half-human-tall grass puppet was still tirelessly patrolling the spirit field.
As it passed Lu Xuan, its feet didn't stop, its giant gray grass head looked stupidly towards Lu Xuan's location, moved nearly one hundred and eighty degrees, then returned to its original position.
■'After absorbing two drops of the grass spirit elixir, the grass puppet's spiritual intelligence has clearly improved. From being a lifeless puppet, it has now become like a one or two-year-old baby."
"What doesn't change is its perseverance in defending the spirit field." Lu Xuan sighed, feeling fortunate that he had such a devoted tool under him. He looked around the spirit field. The growth status of all the spirit plants was normal. For those that needed nurturing, he accordingly implemented the Spirit Rain Technique or the Tree Life Spell, ensuring that they could get the maximum satisfaction.
At the end, he approached the area with the Flood Dragon Vine.
He couldn't wait to take out the small vial of black line snake blood, remove the stopper, and carefully pour the snake blood onto the twisting vine.
When poured onto the Flood Dragon vine, the bright red blood did not drop but was tightly absorbed onto the surface of the vine.
Then, it slowly seeped into the vine.
The originally dark vine turned black and red after absorbing black line snake blood. If observed closely, the winding and twisting, knotty vine seemed like a small snake that had been in hibernation all winter and was awakening and moving slowly.
It only stopped after a few breaths.
Lu Xuan focused his attention on the Flood Dragon vine.
"It felt like something good entered its body, but it disappeared before it could really taste it…"
It had a thirsty look, as though it wanted to enjoy the sweet ram after a long drought, but ended up with only two or three drops..

The Flood Dragon Vine was a third-grade spiritual plant, and Lu Xuan naturally didn't believe that a small bottle of the rank-less Black Line Snake blood could satisfy its growth requirements.
His main intention was to see what changes the Flood Dragon Vine could undergo after bathing in snake blood.
The result was satisfactory. Even if the bottle of Black Line Snake blood didn't quench its thirst at all, the Flood Dragon Vine still underwent a delightful transformation and was no longer in its previous withered state.
"It seems that I need to find a way to obtain snake demonic beast blood with a larger volume and a higher-grade in the future," Lu Xuan said, contemplating while feeling the noticeably increased vitality within the Flood Dragon Vine that still maintained its dark red color.
In the following three days, Lu Xuan stayed tranquilly in his courtyard, allocating all his energies to cultivating spiritual plants and rearing spiritual beasts.
There was spirit rice and demon beast meat ready in the house, among other common supplies, which could meet his needs for a while, so he didn't have to worry about livelihood issues.
During these three days, thirteen of the remaining thirty-nine Spirit Firefly Grasses had fully matured.
Among them, five were of good quality, six were of superior quality, and two were perfect grade.
Planting led to rewards. The thirteen white light clusters brought Lu Xuan thirteen awards.
His cultivation level increased by a total of two years, further consolidating Lu Xuan's Qi Cultivation Level Six strength. Additionally, he received four First Grade Talismans, three Technique Experience Packages which were the Earth Pulling Technique, the Tree Life Spell, and the Golden Sword Technique.
He also absorbed two Cultivation Pill Prescriptions, which significantly added to his theoretical knowledge of concocting the Yuan Cultivating Pill.
There are two more Red Cloud Pine Nuts on the Red Cloud Pine which should be about to reach full maturity.
Of course, picking them now wouldn't be a bad decision since they appear no different from the first Red Cloud Pine nut that he had previously harvested.
It was just that Lu Xuan, being able to perceive the subtle status of the spirit plant at all times, knew the nuts hadn't reached their peak maturation period.
Picking them either too early or too late might slightly affect the quality of the pine nuts, thereby affecting the awards brought by the white light clusters.
Thus, he could only harvest them at the most optimal moment.
Lu Xuan decided to leave the two pine nuts for now and come back to check on them the next morning.
That night, under the cover of darkness and the tranquil world, the spiritual field lay dormant under a thin spiritual aura shield. Only the Grass Puppet, dragging its slender gray grass legs, continued to patrol slowly between the furrows of the spiritual field.
A figure as intangible as clouds and mist floated to the front of the formation. The figure paused, and out of the darkness emerged a cultivator dressed in night-walker clothes, with his face covered, silently looking at the thin spiritual aura protector.
"This should be the place."
"I have no idea what Friend Zhou was thinking. A loose cultivator at the third level of Qi cultivation couldn't even muster full confidence to come by himself and even spent spirit stones to hire me."
"It seems that he spent too much time planting spiritual plants. Being with those flowers and plants every day probably wore down his sharp edge." "However, according to him, this no-organization spirit plant master is highly valued in the Bai Cao Tang. Many rare spiritual medicines are planted in his spiritual field. Once he's eliminated, everything will be mine." As these thoughts ran through his mind, the figure drew a shining talisman from his storage bag.
"To avoid startling the other cultivators and attracting the patrol guards from the Enforcement Hall, I'm going to have to use this second-grade Breaking Spirit Talisman."
There were generally three ways for a cultivator to break a formation.
The first one was to have an array master with a deep understanding of formations break the formation from its roots.
The second was to use talismans or magic artifacts related to breaking formations to achieve a rapid breakdown of the formation.
In the end, it was solved by brute force. No matter how exquisite the formation, I would plow through it with sheer strength.
For him, who was at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, breaking through the first-grade array with brute force wasn't difficult. It would, however, cause a lot of commotion and was likely to stir up disturbance.
With no other choice, the masked cultivator reluctantly used a second-grade spirit-breaking talisman.
No matter the formation, each had its own way of circulating spiritual power. The higher the rank, the more complex and variable the spiritual power, with other peculiar characteristics simultaneously present.
The second-grade spirit-breaking talisman in his hand could quickly find the mode of spiritual power circulation in a first-grade or ungraded formation, hence revealing the weakness, thereby quickly resolving the formation and saving a significant amount of time.
The spiritual light on the spirit-breaking talisman became increasingly vigorous, finally merging into the thin spiritual aura shield. Soon, threads of spiritual power emerged on the round spiritual aura shield, flowing in a mysterious and complex pattern.
The eyes of the masked cultivator brightened as he swiftly found a flaw in the first-grade protective formation.
A few tens of breaths later, he easily broke through the formation and entered the Spirit Field.
In the hazy night, what entered his sight was a large patch of Spiritual Firefly Grass, with their slender leaves twinkling like stars.
"Two or three dozen mature Spiritual Firefly Grass, just the value of these alone is way beyond the price of the spirit-breaking talisman I just used." The masked cultivator darted about in the Spirit Field as light as a swallow. While charging towards the house not far away, he was also scanning the spirit plants in the Spirit Field nearby.
The other party was just a third layer Qi cultivation loose cultivator, so he didn't take him seriously. His attention was more focused on the numerous spirit plants in the Spirit Field, considering them as his bagged catch. "There are about twenty first-grade Blood Jade Ginseng, and their quality seems pretty good too. I can exchange them for quite a few spirit stones at Friend Zhou's. After all, he promised that he only wants the Book Jade Slip on this loose cultivator."
"These three should be the second-grade Clear and Wonderful Spirit Team he mentioned. Heh, judging by his previous complaints, it seems he couldn't compete with this third-layer Qi cultivation small loose cultivator."
"Eh, what is this?"
The masked cultivator slowed down, his attention drawn to a Spirit Grass right before his eyes.
The spirit grass was about two feet long, pitch-black in color, standing upright in the Spirit Soil, shaped like a sword. Around it strands of faint sword intent were swirling in the Spirit Soil.
Such an unusual Spirit Grass was a rarity, even for him who had never planted spirit plants before.
"And this vine, at first glance, I thought it was a dead snake.
A snake-like vine, a sword-like Spirit Grass, plenty of Spiritual Firefly Grass, Blood Jade Ginseng, and three precious Clear and Wonderful Spirit Tea seedlings…
"This trip is totally worth it…"
The masked cultivator was pleased. The quantity and rank of the spirit plants in this loose cultivator's Spirit Field had brought him unexpected joy.
"Once that Little Loose Cultivator is taken care of, all these will be mine." He sped up by three-fold, a short jet-black blade appearing in front of him. The blade shimmered slightly as though ready to shoot out at any moment, piercing through the wall and directly through the cultivator's body.
"Uh?"
Suddenly, several strands of thin grass ropes sprang out from the Spirit Field behind him, wrapping around his ankles and arms like a stubborn disease. The jet-black blade turned into a streak of black light, circling around the grass ropes, slicing them apart.
Under the cultivator's direction, it traced back following the direction of the grass ropes, directly severing the limbs of the grass puppet made from Gray Grass.
"So it's just a straw puppet, though a bit more aggressive.
Seeing that he had severed the limbs of the grass puppet, the masked cultivator relaxed..

Just as he was about to step forward and completely exterminate the Grass Puppet.
Suddenly, a golden Sword Qi shot out like a lightning, reaching the Masked Cultivator in the blink of an eye.
"What kind of Sword Technique is this?!"
The Sword Technique was so sudden and swift that the Masked Cultivator didn't have enough time to deploy his defense magic artifact.
In a desperate moment, he had no choice but to barely turn his body. There was a whoosh.
The golden Sword Qi pierced straight through his shoulder, instantly causing blood to gush out and stain the Spirit Field.
The momentum of the Sword Qi didn't diminish, piercing into the wall of the courtyard behind him.
"Run away quickly!"
Despite the excruciating pain coursing through his wounded shoulder the Masked Cultivator had a thought flash across his mind-he must escape this Spirit Field.
With his wealth of experience, he knew that such a Sword Technique was not something a Small Loose Cultivator of the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation could unleash.
With a few more similar Sword Techniques, or even just one more, he would risk dying here.
A gust of wind came from behind, as a Silver White Blade swiftly followed him. The Masked Cultivator's thoughts moved quickly, his Spiritual Energy circulating rapidly. A wall of ice materialized mid-air, just in time to block the Silver White Blade heading towards him.
Unexpectedly, just before the blade collided with the ice wall, the Silver White Short Blade silently split into dozens of thin fragments, which attacked the Masked Cultivator from all directions like silver butterflies.
This unexpected attack method threw the Masked Cultivator into chaos, with fragments piercing his limbs, shoulder, and chest.
Before he could react, a nimble black Spirit Beast materialized in front of him, its emerald-green pupils coldly watching the Masked Cultivator. Its bewitching gaze left him momentarily dazed.
Before he could regain his senses, the Spirit Beast raised its thick white paw and landed a blow on his head, knocking the cultivator to the ground. After rolling around a few times, he passed out from the pain.
The Masked Cultivator consciousness slowly emerged from unfathomable darkness.
Rather than opening his eyes to survey his surroundings immediately, he carefully sensed the current state of his body.
The situation was dire. As he tried to circulate his internal spiritual power, it felt like he was throwing stones into the sea-the Qi Sea in his Dantian was destroyed, and his cultivation level was completely lost.
At the same time, his body was tied up and unable to move. Wounds on his limbs were exposed to the air, causing waves of intense pain.
His throat, heart, and lower body areas felt a distinct cold sharpness. It seemed that any slight movement would allow these sharp chilly feelings to invade his body.
"Are you awake?"
A gentle voice sounded not far from him.
The cultivator remained with his eyes closed, as if still in deep slumber. "If you don't really wake up, then I'll make sure you never wake up again." The soft voice casually spoke.
With no other option, the Masked Cultivator opened his eyes. His pupils moved, taking in the entire situation.
He was in a simply furnished room, bound by grey-black grass ropes. The silver fragments that had once threatened his life were right before his vulnerable points.
A young cultivator was standing in front of him, his eyes clear and bright. I didn't expect you, a No-Organization Spirit Plant Master, to hide so deep." "That Sword Technique… it's almost at the level of a grandmaster. Even the experienced swordsmen I've met before seldom have such superb swordsmanship."
"Moreover, you're still so young."
"And your cultivation level… It's definitely way beyond the Third Layer." The more the Masked Cultivator thought about it, the more regretful he became. Initially, he thought taking down a Small Loose Cultivator of Qi Cultivation would be a piece of cake. But he didn't anticipate that he would meet with such a disaster, and now he was severely injured and easily captured.
"Speak, why did you enter my mansion and try to harm me?"
Lu Xuan ignored the masked cultivator and asked with a smile.
"I was just passing by and wanted to sneak into your spirit field to steal a few spirit plants. I didn't expect to run into trouble."
The masked cultivator casually made up a reason, attempting to bluff his way out.
"Do you think I would believe that?"
Lu Xuan found it amusing. His expression turned cold, and the remnant piece hovering in front of the cultivator's throat sank a bit deeper, piercing his skin and letting out a drop of dark red blood.
"Just say who sent you."
The masked cultivator fell silent.
"Actually, whether you speak or not, I have a pretty good idea who it is."
"I am usually a recluse and we do good deeds. Anyone who wants to provoke
me to the point of wanting me dead- think about it for yourself."
"But if you won't speak, the ending will be very different. This magic artifact in front of you will cut you into thin slices and try its best not to kill you." "When you are barely breathing, I will then send you to the black market. There, many evil cultivators buy cultivator's souls. You, a middle-stage Qi practitioner, should fetch a good price."
Lu Xuan spoke coldly.
'If I talk, would you let me go?"
"If you talk, I will give you a clean end. If not, you will have to endure the endless torment of both your body and soul. You can choose for yourself." "It was Zhou Hai Wen, a Spirit Plant Master. He promised me a spirit stone to come and kill you. He promised me all the spirit plants in your spirit field, as long as I give him the book jade slip from you."
Without any more hesitation, the masked cultivator laid out everything.
"Indeed, it's the relentless Spirit Plant Master. He probably wants to glean the
method for planting perfect quality spirit plants from me."
Lu Xuan had suspected all along. After hearing the masked cultivator's answer,
he was completely certain.
"Tell me his address, and don't attempt to lie to me. You know that he and I are both Spirit Plant Architects hired by the Hall of Hundreds of Grasses, it's not difficult for me to get his information."
"Fine, I'll tell."
After revealing the information about the Spirit Plant Master, the masked cultivator no longer had any reservations, laying out everything he knew, holding onto the slim hope that Lu Xuan might spare him.
"Alright, you can rest now."
Lu Xuan softly whispered, the thin piece in front of the cultivator's throat suddenly lunged forward, piercing deeply into his throat.
After killing the cultivator, Lu Xuan circulated his spiritual power, and a fireball the size of a head appeared above the cultivator's corpse.
Then, it turned into sparks of fire, falling onto his corpse. Within a few breaths, it turned him into black ash.
Lu Xuan took out an Evil Banishing Talisman, a layer of white light centered on
the black ashes, rippled outward.
Without any anomalies occurring.
Only then did he completely relax, sweeping the thick layer of black ash on the ground and scattering it in the soil of the spirit field.
"You guys dodged a bullet today, here's some good fertilizer for you to make
up."
After Qin Ming, another cultivator has ended up in his spirit field, his body crushed into ashes and turned into a fertilizer.
Lu Xuan briefly cleaned up the courtyard, scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, left the Bi Jing Cloud Treading Mink to guard the mansion, and silently moved outside.
There are cultivators patrolling day and night within the market, but the strength of the protection in each area varies.
In the outer areas of the North District where Lu Xuan previously lived, it was a mixed bag with virtually non-existent security.
The courtyard he now resides in is slightly closer to the center and has considerably increased security, but it's generally only a handful of low-level Qi cultivators patrolling for show.
Only the core area has middle and even high-ranking Qi cultivators providing proper protection to prevent evil cultivators or demon envoys from invading. A moment later, Lu Xuan arrived at his destination, outside the courtyard of the surnamed Zhou Spirit Plant Master..
