You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 1297 The Primordial True Dragon Technique

More than a month later.

Sword Abyss City.

Hong Qinghai followed closely behind Lu Xuan, looking around at the high-level cultivators coming and going, secretly marveling at their appearance.

"There are far too many Core Formation cultivators here. I bet there are even a few Nascent Soul True Monarchs mixed in."

"As expected of the Dongxuan Sword Sect!"

"We've arrived. This is my new shop outside the Sword Sect."

As he was lost in thought, Lu Xuan's voice drifted lightly into his ears.

"It's more than ten times larger than the Tianxing Tower."

Looking at the magnificent and bustling buildings, Hong Qinghai couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

He followed Lu Xuan into the shop.

Without disturbing the cultivators inside the shop, Lu Xuan led him directly to a quiet room upstairs. With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately found Wen Qian, who was entertaining guests.

"A friend has come over, come up here for a moment."

Wen Qian was taken aback for a moment, then a warm smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands in greeting to the Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him.

"Senior, my master is looking for me. Please wait here for a moment and have some spiritual tea."

After saying this, he instructed a beautiful woman to brew a pot of green lotus wine for the Nascent Soul cultivator, and then hurried upstairs.

The Nascent Soul cultivator knew that the master he was referring to was Lu Xuan, the true disciple of the Sword Sect, so he naturally had no objections and sat aside, readily agreeing.

"Who exactly is the friend that Senior Lu mentioned?"

Wen Qian, filled with curiosity, slowly pushed open the door.

Besides Lu Xuan, another face that was all too familiar came into view.

"Brother Qinghai?"

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Brother Wen, it is indeed I."

Seeing his old friend, Hong Qinghai was equally delighted and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Senior Lu to bring you here. It's been decades since we last met, hasn't it?"

Wen Qian grabbed Hong Qinghai's shoulder and slapped him twice.

"Brother Wen, please be gentle. My Foundation Establishment physique can't withstand many blows from you."

Hong Qinghai teased, and the distance between the two of them suddenly shortened a lot.

“I had some business to attend to when I returned to the Cloud Void Domain. I saw that Qinghai had already reached the Pseudo-Core stage, so I brought him back to the Sword Sect to help him advance to Core Formation.”

"From now on, he will stay here with the Sword Sect."

"After breaking through and advancing to the Core Formation stage, he should first familiarize himself with the Sword Sect environment and understand the affairs of the shop. During this time, Wenqian, you can take care of him."

Lu Xuan spoke gently from the side.

"Yes, Senior Lu! I will make sure Qinghai is familiar with everything in the shortest possible time."

Wen Qian quickly bowed to express his agreement.

"I'll go back to the Sword Sect first, and then I'll take you there in three days to help you break through to the Core Formation stage."

He left behind a sentence, and then his figure vanished.

"Thank you, senior!"

Hong Qinghai bowed deeply in the direction where he disappeared, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.

"Brother Qinghai, we've been waiting for you to come."

Wen Qian pressed Hong Qinghai down into the wooden chair and said with a smile.

"Brother Wen, you're almost at the mid-stage of Core Formation, while I'm still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Hong Qinghai said with self-reproach.

"Don't worry, once you get to the Sword Sect, with Senior Lu there, your advancement to the Core Formation stage is practically guaranteed."

Wen Qian reassured him.

"I'll take you down to have a look. This place is different from the general store in Tianxing Tower. There are many more high-level treasures here. You should learn more about their types, effects, and prices."

After chatting for a while, Wen Qian led Hong Qinghai downstairs.

Upon seeing Wen Qian, a tall and dignified old man immediately put down his teacup, stood up, and walked over.

"This is... a Nascent Soul True Monarch?!"

Hong Qinghai felt the profound aura emanating from the old man's body, and he froze on the spot, unsure of how to react.

"Young friend Wen, was that Fellow Daoist Lu just now?"

"If he were still alive, I would certainly like to pay him a proper visit."

The old man asked Wenqian with a kind expression.

"Reporting to True Lord, Senior Lu did come over, but he did not stay long and has already returned to the Sword Sect. I, Wen, thank True Lord for his kindness on behalf of Senior Lu."

Wen Qian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Seeing this, Hong Qinghai, who was standing behind him, relaxed his tense body considerably.

"Oh? Then I'll visit Fellow Daoist Lu another time."

"And this young friend is..."

"This is Hong Qinghai. He has been managing the business for Senior Lu in other realms. This time, he was brought back to the Sword Sect by Senior Lu and kept by his side."

Wen Qian quickly pointed at Hong Qinghai and said.

"Qinghai, come and pay your respects to True Lord Qin!"

"Junior Hong Qinghai pays respects to True Lord Qin!"

Hong Qinghai bowed and greeted him.

"Young friend, it turns out you manage business for Fellow Daoist Lu. I have a flying sword here, of decent quality, which I will give to you as a gift."

The old man handed a golden flying sword to Hong Qinghai.

Hong Qinghai glanced at Wen Qian.

“I dare not refuse the gift from an elder. I will take charge on behalf of Qinghai. Thank you for the treasure.”

Wen Qian took the flying sword and handed it to Hong Qinghai.

Hong Qinghai was immediately relieved and deeply grateful.

"Young friend Wen, regarding the Yuanling Pills we discussed earlier, you must prepare them for me in the right quantity and quality on the appointed day. I assure you that the price will not disappoint you."

"Senior is too kind. The shop will definitely prepare a sufficient supply of Yuanling Pills. When the time comes, True Lord will send someone to collect them."

Wen Qian said calmly.

"By the way, does Fellow Daoist Wen know when Fellow Daoist Lu will refine the Turtle-Crane Essence Pill again? I missed the opportunity last time, but this time I am well prepared."

"I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure either."

Wen Qian looked somewhat apologetic.

"Very well, then this old man will take his leave."

The old man transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished into the distance.

"Brother Wen, was that really a Nascent Soul True Monarch? I have a strange feeling that this is not real."

Hong Qinghai's eyes showed a look of confusion.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs are unattainable beings in the eyes of ordinary cultivators. Even Core Formation cultivators are just big ants to them. When have they ever seen a Nascent Soul True Monarch treat a Core Formation cultivator with such courtesy?
"It is indeed a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

Wen Qian smiled. "Don't act like this indifferent in the future. There will be quite a few Nascent Soul True Monarchs entering the shop. If you continue like this, it will damage Senior Lu's reputation."

"As for attitude, just be neither humble nor arrogant. With Senior Lu as our backer, no Nascent Soul True Monarch will make things difficult for us."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Brother Wen."

Hong Qinghai cupped his hands in greeting.

He gained a clearer understanding of Lu Xuan's status and position.

Although he entered the Sword Sect, he only thought he was a relatively famous spirit plant master within the sect, but he never expected that he was much more than that.

"What kind of status and achievement would make a Nascent Soul True Monarch actively befriend a Core Formation or even Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

His mind was filled with thoughts.

"Qinghai, remember, whether it's a Nascent Soul True Monarch or a Core Formation cultivator, the reason they treat us with respect is not because we are so great, but because they value Senior Lu behind us."

“If you were truly an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, that Nascent Soul True Monarch wouldn’t have given you a second glance, much less offered you any treasures.”

“If you fail to maintain your true self and become lost in it, then Senior Lu may simply abandon you.”

Wen Qian straightened his expression and warned Hong Qinghai.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Wen."

Upon hearing Wen Qian's words, Hong Qinghai's slightly smug mood immediately calmed down. He took a deep breath and cupped his hands in greeting.

……

Dongxuan Sword Sect.

Lu Xuan arrived outside the cave and saw the white ape coming out to greet him from afar.

"Master, you're back! I've missed you so much!"

The white ape fawned over him and ushered him into the cave.

Has anything happened in the cave during this time?

Returning to a familiar and safe environment, Lu Xuan felt relieved and casually asked a question.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that a few fellow Nascent Soul cultivators came to visit, but I refused them because you were in seclusion."

The white ape informed Lu Xuan in detail about the fellow disciples it was visiting.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Lu Xuan nodded, then entered the room and set up a protective barrier.

Then he took out the spirit flower and flew into it.

Upon arriving at the place where the Mysterious Tree Mother and countless plant spirits resided, he clearly sensed the changes that had occurred during this period.

In just over a month, a vast forest emerged across the land, its spiritual energy permeating the air, giving the entire area a natural feel.

"With the help of the Tree Mother and those plant spirits, it will be just around the corner to obtain a more suitable environment for the growth of high-level spiritual plants."

Lu Xuan was extremely satisfied. He did not disturb the myriad divisions of the Xuanji Tree Mother, but instead moved around in his personal space to cultivate high-level spiritual plants.

"Another Yi Wood Green Thunder Fruit has been produced!"

Within the Thunder Pool, two towering Azure Thunder Vines of the Yi Wood shrouded in clouds, exuding a strong aura of thunder spirit, with faint glimpses of azure lightning leaping between their branches and leaves.

At the top of one of the vines, a divine, silvery-white fruit, seemingly formed from endless lightning, grew.

It was a Grade 7 Yi Wood Green Thunder Fruit, which could greatly improve a cultivator's physical constitution after consumption, giving them exceptional talent in thunder magic. After many years, it had finally produced another one.

Lu Xuan's palm turned pale gold as he plucked the silvery-white spirit fruit.

Then, gently touch the white light that appears.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested a Grade 7 Yi Wood Azure Thunder Fruit, and obtained the fourth level (supplement) of the Divine Firmament True Method.]

The moment the thought vanished, a golden bolt of lightning crashed down from the depths of his consciousness, hovering there, surrounded by a thin, pale golden streak of lightning.

[The True Method of Divine Firmament is the fundamental cultivation method of the Divine Firmament Sect. Its fourth level allows one to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.]

"The latter part of the fourth level of the Divine Firmament True Method finally completes the cultivation method for the Nascent Soul stage."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

He had previously harvested two Yi Wood Green Thunder Fruits and obtained the incomplete fourth level of the "Divine Firmament True Method". This time, he finally managed to complete the remaining part.

"The Divine Heavenly Thunder deep within my sea of ​​consciousness has also been enhanced, and its power is estimated to be equivalent to an eighth-grade treasure."

He carefully sensed the changes in the pale golden divine lightning.

"By the way, you must remember this Yi Wood Azure Thunder Fruit and save it for the spirit."

He had promised the pagoda spirit that he would give it a seventh-grade Yi Wood Azure Thunder Fruit.

Of the two I had previously obtained, I consumed one myself, and gave the other to the mysterious Thunder Giant in the Thunder Rhino Clan's secret realm in order to curry favor with it. In return, I obtained the Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Thunder Wood from the Thunder Giant.

If I have this one, I must fulfill the promise I made to the spirit of the pagoda.

After harvesting a Qinglei Fruit of the Yi Wood, he came to the eighth-grade Crimson Dragon Fruit.

"The Crimson Dragon Fruit must be planted in a place rich in dragon energy and irrigated with high-grade dragon blood. Once mature, the spiritual fruit can greatly enhance the bloodline of the dragon race. After cultivators consume it, their physical bodies can be strengthened, giving them strength comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon."

"After so many years of cultivation, it is still only in the stage of taking root and sprouting."

He had the idea of ​​ripening this grade eight dragon fruit plant prematurely.

"This time, when we brought back the Mysterious Tree Mother, we unexpectedly obtained nine strands of mysterious natural energy. Combined with the previous ones, we now have a total of ten strands. After we have matured an eighth-grade spiritual plant, there will still be quite a few left."

Thinking of this, he had a thought, and a wisp of emerald green spiritual energy containing the essence of nature shot out rapidly, rushing towards the Crimson Dragon Fruit spiritual plant.

A ripple of spiritual energy suddenly spread across the pale red branches and leaves, and wherever it passed, the plants radiated a strong vitality.

Lu Xuan then took out a bottle of dragon essence blood and dripped it onto the branches and leaves of the Crimson Dragon Fruit.

Immediately, he focused his mind on the plant, watching the semi-transparent progress bar below gradually fill up.

Half an hour later, the Crimson Dragon Fruit, which had absorbed a wisp of mysterious natural energy, underwent a noticeable change. A faint dragon aura lingered around it, and on the crimson spiritual flower that it had formed, there were faint dragon-shaped patterns.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan was delighted, and the second wisp of mysterious natural energy merged into the Crimson Dragon Fruit.

The spirit flower gradually bloomed, and the patterns on its petals became more and more obvious, lifelike and vivid, as if a red dragon might fly out from it at any moment.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson spiritual fruit the size of a fingertip formed at the very center of the spiritual flower.

Nearly another hour passed, and the third wisp of mysterious natural energy rushed into the Crimson Dragon Fruit without hesitation.

The spiritual fruit grew larger and larger, its surface uneven, resembling a crimson dragon coiled up, with faint dragon roars emanating from within.

The progress bar below is filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It has finally matured, using three strands of mysterious natural energy."

"Judging from this performance, although both are at the eighth rank, the effect of a wisp of mysterious natural secret energy is much stronger than that of a drop of Creation Dew."

Lu Xuan secretly compared them, then picked the Crimson Dragon Fruit. He didn't bother to examine it closely; his gaze was completely fixed on a white ball of light that appeared afterward.

The faintly shimmering ball of light held immense attraction for him.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the ball of light. In an instant, the ball of light shattered silently, and countless tiny points of light shot into the sky, instantly condensing into a thin river of light that rapidly entered Lu Xuan's body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested one Grade 8 spiritual plant, the Crimson Dragon Fruit, and obtained the Grade 9 body-refining technique, "The Primordial True Dragon Manual."]

The moment the thought vanished, a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens and earth echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness. Immediately, countless pieces of information flooded in, and an ancient book surrounded by dragon shadows settled in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Lu Xuan focused his mind on it and immediately learned detailed information about the ancient book.

【The Primordial True Dragon Technique is a ninth-grade body refining technique. It was created by an ancient master who observed true dragons for hundreds of years and comprehended a top-notch body refining method. After successful cultivation, the physical body becomes extremely fierce and domineering. With every move, it can destroy mountains and tear apart the void. It has defensive power close to that of a high-level magic weapon. Every action contains astonishing dragon might and can intimidate all beasts.

During cultivation, one can gradually comprehend the divine abilities and secret techniques of the True Dragon race, and possess an extremely strong affinity for dragon-type demonic beasts.
