You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 435 (Patreon)

Chapter 435: Born from Passion

"Brother Shen, here are three Wind Thunder Sword Grasses that can be condensed."

"One is already in the early stages of condensation, another will be ready in a couple of days, and the last one will need a few more days."

Lu Xuan then took out three Wind Thunder Sword Grasses along with the spiritual soil from the Life-Sustaining Bag.

Due to the individual stimulation and nurturing from the Profound Sword Sheath, the growth progress of the Wind Thunder Sword Grasses varied. He brought three grasses to the Sword Hall to expedite the verification of the condensation method's accuracy.

After all, the Wind Thunder Sword Grass was his unique possession. If the Sword Hall wanted to verify, they would need to start from scratch with the seeds from him, saving a lot of time.

"Careful there, Junior Brother Lu."

Seeing Lu Xuan casually placing the three Wind Thunder Sword Grasses on the ground, Shen Ye quickly cautioned, worried about any possible damage.

Shen Ye had already skimmed through the condensation method given by Lu Xuan. Relying on his own expertise, he was confident that the method was fundamentally sound, but it still required firsthand verification.

Just as he was fretting over not having current samples of Wind Thunder Sword Grass, Lu Xuan very carefully took out three grasses.

"Transplanted sword grass should not be left out for too long, or it could lead to the loss of the plant's vitality."

"Give me a moment, Junior Brother Lu. I will plant these three Wind Thunder Sword Grasses into the Sword Hall's spiritual field right away, allowing the hall's most experienced sword cultivator and plant master to verify the condensation method."

Before he could finish, a clear sword cry emerged from the black sword case behind Shen Ye. A snow-white flying sword leaped out, carrying him through the window in an instant.

Meanwhile, Lu Xuan sat leisurely in the wooden chair, savoring the steaming spiritual tea.

"This spiritual tea tastes quite good; rich and sweet with a strong spiritual aura. I should find an opportunity to cultivate more spiritual tea plants, it's great for hosting guests."

The Pure Lustrous Tea, a fifth-grade spiritual plant, was a commission from a Core Formation elder. Even with ten times the courage, Lu Xuan wouldn't dare to keep the tea for himself. He was thinking of finding another type of tea plant to harvest leaves for personal use and hosting guests.

Lost in thought, Shen Ye barged in, picked up a cup of spiritual tea, and downed it in one gulp.

"Your method of seed condensation has already been handed over to the fellow disciples of the Sword Hall. Those experts are the hall's best at cultivating sword grass. It won't be long before we see results."

Setting down the teacup, Shen Ye informed Lu Xuan.

"Hearing about the potential for a new third-grade sword grass, those cultivators are incredibly curious, gathering together to ponder over the condensation method you brought."

"I hope it successfully condenses the seeds."

Lu Xuan nodded.

"That's certain. I have absolute confidence in you, Junior Brother."

Shen Ye paused before adding, "After the condensation method is successfully verified by the hall, you will be generously rewarded."

"Oh? Can Brother Shen elaborate?"

Hearing about the reward, Lu Xuan straightened up, curious.

"What reward you desire is entirely up to you."

"Any fully developed sword grass in the hall, even high-grade sword embryos and sword pellets, as well as various sword techniques, are yours to choose from."

"There's such a good deal?"

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

After entering the Sword Hall, he received many sword grass seeds, but most weren't his to keep.

They were cultivated on behalf of the sect, and after successful cultivation, the Sword Hall would provide a generous reward, and a significant amount of Sword Seals was given monthly to the disciples of the Sword Hall.

To think, discovering a third-grade sword grass condensation method had already earned him the right to freely choose any treasure from the Sword Hall.

"However, there's one thing I must remind you, Junior Brother."

Shen Ye's expression turned serious.

"Please, Brother Shen."

"Given your current mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, there are restrictions on fifth-grade Core Formation realm treasures. Obtaining them now might not only be difficult to fully utilize but could also attract unnecessary trouble. I hope you understand."

"No problem."

Lu Xuan nodded lightly, the limitations didn't mean he couldn't obtain fifth-grade treasures, which was already beyond his expectations.

"Also, although you can freely choose any fourth-grade or lower sword grass, sword pellets, and other treasures, selecting too many may draw inquiries from Core Formation elders. Please gauge this accordingly."

"Moreover, it's crucial to note that these treasures are for personal use. If it's discovered that you've traded them for other items or spirit

 stones, it will be difficult to continue receiving treasures."

"To avoid this, you'll need to swear an oath bound by your inner demons."

"Agreed."

Lu Xuan nodded.

The benefits of discovering the Wind Thunder Sword Grass condensation method had far exceeded his expectations.

The opportunity to enter the Sword Pool early and obtain swords like the Thunderous Sword and the Nebula Sword.

Once the condensation method is verified, he could select various treasures from the Sword Hall, with only slight restrictions on the quantity and grade.

"By the way, Brother Shen, I have something to ask."

"If I wish to acquire more sword grass seeds from the hall, will there be any restrictions?"

Concerned about luminous orb rewards, Lu Xuan was particularly interested in the sword grass seed issue.

Shen Ye was momentarily taken aback by his question.

"Junior Brother Lu, I'm puzzled.

With access to fully developed sword grasses, sword embryos, sword pellets, and high-grade sword techniques from the hall, why remain so fixated on sword grass seeds?"

"Isn't obtaining a complete sword grass not as satisfying as cultivating it yourself?"

"You should know me well, Brother. I'm cautious by nature, rarely venturing out to explore secret realms or hunt demonic beasts and evil spirits. I devote myself to cultivating spiritual plants, raising spiritual beasts, with cultivation taking a back seat."

"It must be born from love."

Lu Xuan spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Shen Ye recalled their first meeting at the Agricultural Hall, nodding in agreement.

At that time, Lu Xuan, still a Qi practicing rogue cultivator before joining the Sky Sword Sect, managed to cultivate a highly difficult second-grade sword grass. Without talent or true passion, such cultivation would be impossible.

"Additionally, I've considered something else."

"Staying in the sect, enjoying its cultivation resources and protection, I wanted to contribute even a trivial amount of strength to the sect."

"Having some talent in cultivating spiritual plants, growing sword grass seeds, and obtaining various high-grade sword artifacts to slightly enhance the strength of fellow disciples for outside explorations and opportunities provides a bit of assurance."

Lu Xuan spoke sincerely, further solidifying his identity as a plant cultivator and elevating the purpose of cultivating seeds.

"While benefiting fellow disciples, I can also receive a few small white luminous orb rewards."

He added inwardly.

"To think, Junior Brother Lu, you possess such selfless thoughts. It makes me feel ashamed and inferior."

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Shen Ye showed great respect.
