You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 1292 Late Nascent Soul
However, what shocked Chen Yuqiu and the others was yet to come.

One after another, Core Formation cultivators filed in, each with outstanding demeanor and extraordinary bearing.

Most of them were inner disciples of Zhen Huan Jian Feng, while some were other Jian Feng disciples whom Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang had met.

What shocked the Chen family and others even more was yet to come.

“Yuan Rong, a Nascent Soul cultivator from Huanzhen Sword Peak, has come to offer his congratulations on your marriage to our young friends Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang. May you walk together on the path of cultivation.”

"A Nascent Soul cultivator?!"

Upon hearing this, the Chen family members were shocked and stood frozen in place, staring at Yuan Rong who was presenting the congratulatory gift to the white ape.

No matter where in the cultivation world, Nascent Soul True Monarchs are among the most elite individuals. For the Chen family, who live in a remote place, they are beings that are beyond their reach. They never expected that the Chen family would come in person to congratulate their clansmen.

"Elder Li Xuanchen of the Sword Palace, a Nascent Soul cultivator, has come to offer his congratulations. He wishes the newlywed couple a long and happy life together, and that they may witness the Great Dao together."

"Chongxu Sword Peak..."

"Hundred Crafts Sword Peak..."

One by one, Nascent Soul cultivators entered the main hall, each with a beaming smile, presenting precious treasures as gifts.

"The true Sword Master has arrived! Congratulations to the two Sword Peak disciples for their harmonious partnership and joint progress!"

Finally, Kenjiro made his grand entrance as the last character to appear.

At this point, all the guests who came to attend Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang's event had arrived.

"The legendary sword master..."

Chen Yuqiu's eyes were glazed over, and he muttered to himself.

He learned some information about the sword master from the notes left by his ancestor.

The nine sword masters represent extraordinary significance. Whether it is their own strength or the power they control, they hold high positions and are revered by thousands, even in the entire cultivation world.

"Master Qing Shuang is truly extraordinary."

He knew perfectly well why these Nascent Soul cultivators had come to the wedding—simply to show their faces in front of Lu Xuan and gain his favor.

On the wedding day of an ordinary member of the Chen family, it was already quite remarkable if a Core Formation cultivator came to attend. He couldn't even imagine a scene like this.

"Are you perhaps Fellow Daoist Chen Yuqiu, the former patriarch of the Chen family?"

A composed, long-bearded cultivator approached and spoke with great politeness.

"It is indeed I, Chen. May I ask who you are, senior...?"

Chen Yuqiu probed the other party with her spiritual sense and, after sensing the profound and boundless magical power, quickly stood up, bowed, and replied.

“My name is Shen Jingxuan. Fellow Daoist Chen, there’s no need to be so polite. In fact, we have some history together.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuqiu was filled with doubt, but mustered her courage and continued to ask:

"I would like to ask Senior Shen to enlighten me."

"My Shen family lineage has a long history in the Sword Sect. Back when the Chen family patriarch was alive, a Nascent Soul elder from the Shen family had a very good relationship with him, and the two families had many interactions."

"But later, the Chen family patriarch unfortunately passed away. The Chen family suffered this blow and moved away from the Sword Sect, which is why they gradually lost contact with each other."

Shen Jingxuan's beaming smile made Chen Yuqiu feel as if she were basking in a spring breeze.

"I see."

Chen Yuqiu nodded emphatically.

"On the occasion of Qing Shuang's wedding, I will have the opportunity to see the descendants of the Chen family again. After the wedding, Fellow Daoist Chen, you must come to my cave for a gathering so we can have a good chat about the past between our two families and get to know each other better."

"By the way, I heard that the Chen family is good at cultivating spiritual plants, and the Shen family happens to have a great need for them. We can cooperate on a long-term basis."

Shen Jingxuan, using profit as bait, sincerely invited him.

Chen Yuqiu, standing to the side, felt a sense of unreality. After Chen Qingshuang entered the Sword Sect, there was no movement within the sect, as if the glorious years left by the Chen family's ancestor had been forgotten.

When the Chen family suffered a great calamity, he sought help from the descendants of his ancestor's old friends, but was unexpectedly turned away.

When I entered the Sword Sect again, I didn't expect it to be in this state.

He, a Core Formation cultivator from a small family, suddenly became a hot commodity, with even Nascent Soul True Monarchs taking the initiative to befriend him.

"Thank you very much, senior. I will definitely come to visit you after the wedding."

Chen Yuqiu was filled with emotion, but he remained outwardly calm. He knew this was a great opportunity for the Chen family, so he readily agreed.

After Shen Jingxuan left, several other people came over to talk to him.

Among them were descendants of old friends of the Chen family patriarch, as well as newly acquainted cultivators from the Sword Sect, all of whom were extremely polite in their conversations.

Just then, countless spiritual flowers quietly bloomed in the sky above the main hall and slowly drifted down.

Lu Xuan appeared out of thin air on a magnificent jade platform.

He was dressed in magnificent robes, surrounded by jewels, a departure from his usual simple and elegant style.

"Fellow Daoists, on this auspicious day, we have gathered at Huanzhenjian Peak to witness the grand occasion of my two disciples, Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang, becoming Daoist partners. Thank you all for coming to offer your congratulations."

"Haotian and Qingshuang have spent many years together, and their personalities are compatible. As their master, I am truly gratified."

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous. May the two of you walk hand in hand on this long journey and together attain the Great Dao."

Lu Xuan offered his heartfelt blessings.

"Thank you, Master! All our achievements today are thanks to you. We are willing to serve you in every lifetime."

With tears in their eyes, Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang knelt down and offered each other a cup of spiritual tea.

……

"This can be considered a major matter that has been resolved."

After the wedding, Lu Xuan returned to his cave, feeling slightly tired.

Presiding over this wedding was much more tiring than practicing spiritual cultivation.

He provided most of the spiritual fruits and wines at the wedding free of charge, and he also had the white ape handle the procurement of a small portion from the sect.

As for the various wedding gifts he received, he entrusted them to his two apprentices to handle personally.

Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang, the two disciples, were quite sensible and wanted to present all the congratulatory gifts to Lu Xuan, but Lu Xuan directly refused.

Firstly, those gifts were just what the two of them, who were currently at the Core Formation stage, needed. Secondly, his standards were now extremely high, and he could no longer value those treasures, so he simply did them a favor.

As their master, in addition to the Azure Profound Withering and Flourishing Sword Formation he initially gave them and his contributions at the wedding, he also created a superior cave dwelling for the two of them so that they could cultivate and live together.

Six months later, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged and focused his mind on his dantian.

The nascent soul within the dantian seemed to sense something, opening its pure and clear eyes, like that of an innocent child.

Compared to his initial breakthrough, the Nascent Soul was now several times larger and much more solid, accompanied by numerous treasures surrounding him. Two plump, white arms, one holding an exquisite feather fan, produced bursts of five-colored flames as it was gently fanned.

It is the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, a mid-grade magic treasure. Its original grade is an eighth-grade magic weapon. After being refined, it can release endless mixed strange fire, which has the ability to burn all things. Its offensive power ranks among the top among treasures of the same grade.

On her other arm, a strange bracelet was wrapped around her wrist. The bracelet was formed from five-colored lightning, and the lightning swirled around it, exuding an extremely terrifying aura of lightning spirit.

It was the Five Thunder Immortal Locking Bracelet that Lu Xuan quite liked. It was also a mid-grade magic weapon. Although its grade was only seventh grade, it had an extremely rare function, and he had always found it quite useful.

The Five Thunder Immortal Locking Bracelet has powerful imprisoning and sealing effects, and can unleash the Five Thunder Forbidden Technique to imprison a Nascent Soul True Monarch for a short period of time, sealing his physical body and soul.

The tiny nascent soul waved a five-colored feather fan in one hand and flipped through a semi-transparent ancient book in the other.

The ancient book seemed to merge with the space within his dantian, causing the surrounding space to subtly show signs of overlapping and collapse. There were no words on the pages, only tiny treasures, as small as black dots, flashing by rapidly.

It was the spatial magic treasure, the Square Inch Book, which contained most of Lu Xuan's current wealth; even a small corner of it would make many cultivators extremely envious.

At the waist of the Nascent Soul hung a small, golden bow, which was the mid-grade magic weapon, the Sun Chasing Bow. It was also forged from an eighth-grade magic artifact and possessed the ability to chase stars and the sun and pierce through all things. It was an extremely powerful long-range attack magic weapon.

Behind it was a pair of silver-white wings, which flapped gently, making the small, somewhat bulky nascent soul appear much more agile, as if it could be carried away by the wind.

The Thunder Wings, after being integrated with the wings of the Thunder Roc, became a mid-level magic weapon. It was extremely fast and was an excellent escape magic weapon before Lu Xuan mastered the Innate Wind and Thunder Escape Technique.

At this moment, the nascent soul was lying on a deep blue lotus platform. The platform slowly rotated, and the veins on it seemed to be composed of profound scriptures, floating in the air and forming its own world.

It is the Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform. After years of refinement, it has become a high-level magic weapon with extraordinary defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding attacks from most high-level magic weapons. At the same time, it can greatly enhance Lu Xuan's spiritual intelligence, helping him to quickly acquire treasures and learn various mysterious divine abilities and secret techniques.

Beside the Nascent Soul, a small, dark sword slowly moved, its eerie light subtly revealing the meaning of the annihilation of all things. It was the Eighth Grade Annihilation Extinction Law Sword Grass, which had the effect of annihilating all laws.

"There are more and more mid-level magic treasures, and even ninth-grade treasures that only Nascent Soul cultivators are qualified to possess."

"Unfortunately, my divine sense and magical power are limited, so I cannot refine every treasure into a magic weapon. I have no choice but to reluctantly give up some."

The number of high-level treasures he obtained kept increasing. The Nanming Thunderfire Mirror and Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Needle, which he had used very few times, were gradually phased out.

Even the Thunder Wing, which he is currently using with ease, will face elimination once he has achieved some mastery of the Innate Wind and Thunder Escape Technique.

"There are also the Little Emperor's Bag, the Myriad Mile Instant Shadow Talisman, and many other treasures that are just gathering dust in the small book."

"Once we break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, with the Sword Sect as our backing, we can hold an unprecedented private auction in Sword Abyss City to see if we can obtain a few Rank 9 spiritual seeds, innate spiritual roots, and so on."

Lu Xuan sighed to himself.

He currently cultivates quite a few supernatural abilities, including the Universe in His Sleeve, the Innate Wind and Thunder Escape, the Myriad Trees Spring Life Seal, and the Minor Teleportation Technique...

Once any supernatural power enters the cultivation world, it is estimated that it will cause a bloodbath, and countless cultivators will risk their lives to compete for it.

"In terms of cultivation techniques, we should focus on the Divine Firmament True Method, since we have accumulated a deep understanding of it and it is no weaker than the cultivation techniques within the Sword Sect."

He thought to himself.

After absorbing countless divine thunders, thunder-attribute treasures, and experience packs, he had already reached an extremely high level of mastery in the "Divine Firmament True Method," and no longer needed to switch to other cultivation techniques.

"Oh right, there's also the White Lotus Incarnation, who possesses too many magical treasures, supernatural powers, and secret techniques."

Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't forget the white lotus incarnation who had been staying in his personal space to cultivate and nurture spiritual plants recently.

"Even an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not have as much wealth and treasures as my White Lotus Incarnation."

Lu Xuan carefully reviewed the situation and gained a deeper understanding of just how many opportunities he had obtained from the ball of light.

"With the light cluster present, there's no need to risk our lives to fight for the treasure."

"Not to mention, a treasure obtained after overcoming numerous obstacles and fighting to the death may not be as valuable as a treasure randomly found in a ball of light."

The thought of the increasing number of eighth- and ninth-grade spiritual plants in the spiritual field filled Lu Xuan with strong confidence and anticipation for his future cultivation career.

"If we harvest a few more eighth- or ninth-grade spiritual plants, we can expect to reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"There's even a chance to obtain the legendary magical treasure."

With a sigh, Lu Xuan thoroughly refined the magical artifact in his hand before ending his cultivation.

Half a month later, he came to the spirit field as usual to cultivate spirit plants.

"The Yuanling Ginseng has finally fully matured."

He arrived at the spirit field where a large area of ​​Yuanling Ginseng was planted. Looking at the spirit field, which seemed to be a tangible white mist of primordial energy, he felt joy in his heart.

"Of the 106 Yuanling Ginseng plants, 30 will be kept for seed condensation, and the rest will be harvested."

Lu Xuan made a decision in his heart and skillfully picked the Yuanling Ginseng one by one.

One by one, white orbs of light appeared.

Lu Xuan smiled and flashed, touching the surface of all the light orbs at the same time.

Instantly, dozens of light clusters shattered, turning into countless tiny light points that shot into the sky and condensed into thin, long rivers of light that entered Lu Xuan's body.

Thoughts flashed through his mind like a fleeting shadow.

[Harvested one Grade 5 Yuanling Ginseng and obtained a Grade 5 Yuanling Pill.]

[Harvested one Grade 5 Yuanling Ginseng, gaining twenty years of cultivation.]

[The harvest...]

As the thought vanished, treasures appeared in various forms.

At this moment, he had no time to observe the treasures in front of him; his mind was entirely focused on himself.

A massive amount of spiritual energy appeared in his limbs and bones, flowing endlessly like a great river.

Inside the dantian, the nascent soul that was refining the magic weapon with dantian fire suddenly opened its eyes, its eyes filled with excitement. It took a deep breath, and countless spiritual energies transformed into drops of true essence liquid that gathered in the dantian.

The nascent soul's body became increasingly solid, and its expression became more and more lively and natural, just like Lu Xuan's.

After absorbing enough true essence and magic liquid, the little nascent soul let out a deep burp, as if it had eaten too much, and lay down directly on the nine-grade lotus platform.

Lu Xuan felt something and released his divine sense, feeling his perception range more than doubled, and he was overjoyed.

"He's reached the late Nascent Soul stage; he can be considered a great cultivator."

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

There are very few Nascent Soul cultivators. Even a behemoth like the Sword Sect only has seven Nascent Soul cultivators, and most of them are detached from worldly affairs and are very mysterious.

A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can be considered a great cultivator in the cultivation world, and each of them has the potential to glimpse the Great Dao.

"To break through to the late Nascent Soul stage at the age of less than 320 is extremely rare in the history of the Sword Sect."

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.

"To avoid attracting too much attention, I'll try to hide myself first. With the remains of the Heavenly Cicada and the 'Six Transformations of the Heavenly Cicada,' unless those Nascent Soul Ancestors specifically investigate, it will be difficult for them to discover my true cultivation level."

He planned to reveal his cultivation level later.
