You Cultivate, I Farm

“Now it’s time to make a choice, a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, its value has already far exceeded my own strength, should I take it or not?”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

If he hadn’t known that the Treasure Tower Instrument Spirit was the owner of the Ancient Jade Pavilion, he might have hesitated.

After all, he was only at the Early Core Formation stage, and while he had the good fortune to open a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, he didn’t have the strength to protect it.

But now things were different.

“The Instrument Spirit is the Master of Ancient Jade Pavilion, surely it won’t be difficult for him to open a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed.”

“I must have this Eightfold Palace.”

The second Seventh Grade Spirit Seed he had encountered so far, Lu Xuan’s determination to obtain it was stronger than ever before.

“There’s also the issue of whether or not to open the stone here in the hall…”

Opening a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed in front of many Jindan and Nascent Soul Cultivators didn’t suit Lu Xuan’s usual cautious nature.

However, if he took it back to his Cave Abode to open, the biggest problem would be how to successfully take out the Eightfold Palace Spirit Seed.

This Ancient Stone was of unknown origin and extremely mysterious, ordinary methods could hardly open it easily, it had to rely on the transparent blade in Yu Huanzhen’s hand.

“It would be absurd to worry about that. With Senior Instrument Spirit protecting me and with my intent to hide my appearance and breath, why should I worry about these matters?”

Lu Xuan stood up, his Spiritual Power dragged the Ancient Stone behind him.

Opening two rare Treasure Items in two stone openings was too shocking and sensational. To avoid arousing suspicion, he purposefully took two more Ancient Stones to lower his own success rate.

This movement of his also caught the attention of the other Cultivators.

“Fellow Daoist, are you planning to open three Ancient Stones at once?”

One of the Jindan Cultivators asked out of curiosity.

“Indeed I am.”

Lu Xuan nodded in confirmation.

“Fellow Daoist is really generous. Three Ancient Stones require sixty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones to open. If you’re lucky and gamble out some Treasure Item, it could be acceptable, but if you’re unlucky, then the loss will be great.”

The Cultivator shook his head, seemingly disapproving of Lu Xuan’s actions.

“Anyway, I’ve already made quite a bit on the last Ancient Stone, so it’s no loss if these three don’t yield anything, but it’s profit if they do.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile, approaching the mild-tempered middle-aged Cultivator from the Ancient Jade Pavilion.

“Daoist Yu, this time I’ve chosen three Ancient Stones, please assist me in opening them.”

He handed over six hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

“No problem, I will help Fellow Daoist to open the stones right away.”

Yu Huanzhen took out the transparent blade, countless illusory lines moved, slowly cutting open the nearest Ancient Stone.

Around the two of them, more than ten Cultivators had unconsciously gathered, silently watching. They were very curious about Lu Xuan’s grand gesture of opening stones this time.

“It’s open!”

“There’s a Treasure Item, it seems to be a Spirit Ore.”

“Fourth-grade Star Stone, although quite rare and widely used, it’s still not worth twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

“This is a loss.”

The group of Jindan Cultivators around him discussed this with various opinions.

The second Ancient Stone, the blade slowly carved it, chunks of stone falling to the ground.

“Hm? Empty?”

“All for show, a waste of twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

“What a pity, that fellow just now was hot-headed in his betting and lost what he had previously gained.”

The audience looked at the empty center of the Ancient Stone and sighed in unison.

In their eyes, Lu Xuan had slowly turned from a cultivator with a deep fortune to the image of a gambler who had lost his rationale.

“And now, this last stone.”

“”

Lu Xuan maintained his composure and pushed the ancient stone containing the Eightfold Palace Spirit Seed towards Yu Huanzhen.

Yu Huanzhen steadily controlled the transparent blade, inch by inch, cutting through the stone skin.

When the last layer of thin stone skin broke open, suddenly, a treasure light shot out from the heart of the stone.

“We’ve got something!”

“This looks extraordinary!”

The crowd craned their necks in anticipation, focused intently on the Treasure Item slowly revealing itself from within the ancient stone.

A fist-sized piece of multicolored jade emerged, which upon closer inspection, appeared to consist of eight layers of jade, each enveloping the next from the inside out. Between each layer were marvelous phenomena, with spiritual light flowing and an aura of mystery.

“Another Spirit Seed! But what species of Spirit Plant is this? I have never heard of it before.”

“Judging by its vitality, it should be no weaker than the Sixth Grade Sky Origin Fruit we just saw.”

A group of Cultivators turned their gaze to a nearby Primordial Infant True Monarch.

“Indeed, it’s a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, but as to the specific species, I’m not sure myself,” the Primordial Infant True Monarch said indifferently, his eyes on Lu Xuan carrying a hint of curiosity.

“Seventh Grade Spirit Seed!”

With the Primordial Infant True Monarch’s confirmation, the nearby Jindan Cultivators couldn’t hide their amazed expressions.

“I had heard rumors that Cultivators from the Ancient Jade Pavilion had unearthed Seventh Grade Treasures but thought it was just hearsay; I didn’t expect to witness this miracle today.”

“Twenty thousand Spirit Stones for a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, what incredible fortune!”

Amidst the surprised murmurs, Lu Xuan keenly noticed that a few Cultivators had a subtle change in their gaze.

His previous uncovering of the Sixth Grade Sky Origin Fruit was considered very fortunate by the others, who looked on with envy but didn’t think much of it.

After all, a Spirit Seed was not as alluring as a Same-level Artifact or Treasure Item, and thus it had not drawn much interest from the Cultivators present.

But a Seventh Grade Spirit Seed was different.

It was a Treasure Item of the Nascent Soul category, and even if it was just a seed, its value was extremely high.

Such a rare item, falling into the hands of an Early Core Formation stage Cultivator – wouldn’t that be a waste of heavenly treasures?

The Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe he was wearing detected several discreet sweeps of Spiritual Sense across him. However, due to being in the Ancient Jade Pavilion and the presence of many Primordial Infant and Jindan Cultivators, no one dared to probe too deeply. The robe successfully shielded him from their scans.

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist!”

Yu Huanzhen carefully held the Spirit Seed, filled with layer upon layer of phenomena, and cautiously handed it over to Lu Xuan.

“Thank you, Daoist friend.”

Lu Xuan paid no attention to those veiled looks and put the Eightfold Palace Spirit Seed into his storage bag.

“I hadn’t expected that the ancient stones in the Ancient Jade Pavilion contained such rare treasures. I seem to have picked too few stones before.”

Lu Xuan turned his head, sweeping over all the remaining ancient stones.

“If I want to receive the Artifact Spirit’s blessing later, shouldn’t I first help it promote its goods, gaining some favor?”

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the eyes of many Cultivators brightened.

“Right, this man has uncovered two great rare treasures from four stones; with so many ancient stones left, could there be more rare treasures hidden among them?”

“If he could do it, why can’t I?”

With Lu Xuan’s advertisement of the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed having such a strong effect, numerous Cultivators began to shield the surrounding ancient stones with their Magic Artifacts, even causing some disputes.

“Little friend Lu, you’re really lucky! It makes an old man like me excited!”

Suddenly, the voice of the Treasure Tower Instrument Spirit reached his ears.

“Still, some of these people seem like they wouldn’t mind eating you alive!”

“After the stone carving is finished, stay inside the Ancient Jade Pavilion and come out with me; I have some questions I’d like to ask you.”

The Artifact Spirit took a liking to Lu Xuan, who had left a significant impression on it during both of their meetings, and considering that Lu Xuan was a Commerce Association Guest Elder, it naturally wanted to ensure his well-being.

The remaining ancient stones were opened one by one, some Cultivators delighted, while others despaired. Most did not reveal treasures worth twenty thousand Spirit Stones, and the few decent ones that did were still far inferior to the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed uncovered by Lu Xuan.
