Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

"Brother Dashan, if you still consider me a brother, then accept this sword energy talisman."

Lu Ping spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable resolve, as he placed the sword energy talisman in Zhao Dashan's hand.

Indeed.

He had a close relationship with Zhao Dashan's family, but that didn't mean that Lü Ping could freely enjoy Zhao Dashan's help.

Maintaining a relationship cannot rely on one person's unilateral efforts.

Seeing Lü Ping's resolute attitude, Zhao Dashan had no choice but to accept the sword energy talisman.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Dashan got up and left.

Watching Zhao Dashan leave, Lü Ping murmured to himself.

"A Daoist companion, a Daoist companion, a partner in the pursuit of the Dao..."

......

In the days that followed, Lü Ping's life returned to normal; he spent his days drinking tea, petting his dog, and sweeping the courtyard.

Lü Ping discovered that sweeping the courtyard is a unique enjoyment of life and spiritual practice. Sweeping the courtyard often is like sweeping one's spiritual altar, which helps to calm the mind better.

The only unusual thing about their peaceful life was the addition of a new member to the spiritual land: the Blazing Sun Fruit.

[The first-tier, mid-grade spirit plant, the Flaming Sun Fruit, prefers a hot growing environment. A suitable cold environment can stimulate the spirit seed's activity, helping it grow better.]

[Practicing fire-based spells at the spirit seed cultivation site will provide some assistance to the spirit seed's growth.]

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

Wild blazing fruit often grows in places with plenty of sunshine and scorching heat, such as sunny mountain forests or the periphery of dormant volcanoes.

Lu Ping searched through some miscellaneous notes on cultivation and discovered a mineral called Flame Stone. It was barely up to the next level and could generate its own heat. When buried in spiritual soil, it would create a nurturing environment with a slight flame.

It's a pity that Yunzhufang City is located in the Snow Toad Mountains, while these Flame Stones are mostly produced in the wasteland desert.

Currently, the only way to cultivate the Flaming Sun Fruit is through practicing fire-based spells and by having cultivators create a suitable environment for its growth.

In order to create a good growing environment for the Flaming Sun Fruit, he channeled his spiritual energy, and a ball of orange-yellow fire danced in his palm.

"A low-level fireball spell; the Flame Fruit will have to do."

As a plant master, Lu Ping only knows the low-level fire magic spell, Fireball.

Normally, fireballs are used for boiling water and cooking, but today they have found a wonderful use, starting to "glow and generate heat".

Lu Ping controlled the fireball spell in his palm, keeping it condensed and suspended above the three saplings of the Flaming Sun Fruit.

The seedlings of the Flaming Sun Fruit are quite short, only about an inch tall, not even as tall as the seedlings of the Iron Sword Orchid next to them.

The seedlings of the blazing sun fruit, which had only sprouted a few days ago, were entirely red. Their roots and only two leaves revealed a sense of fragility in their early stages. However, unlike this sense of fragility, the thin layer of snow around the seedlings had melted away, revealing grayish-black soil.

Its leaves are covered with faint reddish-brown flame patterns, slightly warm, and the veins are only clearly visible under sunlight.

Feeling the light and heat coming from above, the three saplings of the Flaming Fruit were filled with doubt.

Is this frail plant cultivator trying to impersonate the Great Sun with this tiny fireball?

That was a really bad imitation.

These days, even sunbathing products are counterfeited?

【Um? 】

The three consecutive deadly questions from the Fiery Sun Fruit seedlings left Lü Ping somewhat overwhelmed. However, due to his limited abilities, he could only continue to maintain the small fireball in his palm, allowing it to emit light and heat.

After a while.

The leaves of the three blazing sun fruit seedlings began to feel slightly hot, and the fire patterns and veins on the crimson leaves gradually became clearer.

This means that the seedlings of the Flaming Sun Fruit absorb the light and heat produced by the fireball in the palm of their hands.

As the fireball's light and heat were absorbed, the fireball in the palm of the hand slowly shrank.

Seeing this, Lü Ping kept the fireball in his palm condensed and did not dissipate, while the spiritual power in his body was consumed at an extremely slow rate.

Within the gray-black spiritual soil, three saplings of the Flaming Sun Fruit absorbed light and heat, their leaves swaying slightly in the wind, resembling fiery red wild grass. It was clear that the three little ones were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Through a mental connection with the three saplings of the Flaming Sun Fruit, Lü Ping discovered that these three little guys were thoroughly enjoying the fireball hovering above their heads and were humming softly from the bottom of their hearts.

"Good heavens, so this 'Sunflower Fruit' seedling is all talk and no action."

"What are they saying? A clumsy imitation of the blazing sun high in the sky; some fake sunbathing."

"But as they shook their heads, absorbing the light and heat of the fireball, they ate more than anyone else."

Lu Ping teased the three "tsundere" Flaming Sun Fruits, but the fireball in his hand didn't go out.

The three young saplings of the Flaming Sun Fruit swayed and absorbed the light and heat, and a fatherly smile appeared on his face.

"Little one, you'd better absorb the light and heat well, and grow your teeth quickly!"

After maintaining the fireball for about fifteen minutes, Lü Ping noticed that the three Fiery Sun Fruit seedlings were no longer absorbing the light and heat from the fireball.

"Perhaps they've eaten enough."

The surging spiritual energy within Lü Ping's body subsided, and the fireball in his palm immediately dissipated.

We appreciate your kindness, frail plant cultivator.

But please don't sunbathe in front of us, okay?

Ah, this is real sunbathing.

"I thought they were full, but it turns out the real deal has arrived." Lu Ping shook his head and didn't stay there any longer to accompany the Flaming Sun Fruit seedlings and play this kind of substitute literature.

After tending to the Fiery Sun Fruit seedlings, Lü Ping flicked his fingers and unleashed the [Sword Yuan Finger].

The sword energy slashed out, passing over the Iron Sword Orchid and the Flaming Sun Fruit, but did not harm the two spiritual plants in the slightest.

The iron sword orchid raises its tender leaves, as if to test its sharpness against the sword's aura.

But Lü Ping would never allow the young Tie Jianlan to be tempered so early. After the sword energy swept past, it slowly dissipated.

Within area one, three Cymbidium goeringii plants and one sapling of Cymbidium ensifolium are located relatively close to each other.

This kind of cultivation method, which requires exceptional skill and daring, and the spacing between spiritual plants, is something only Lü Ping would dare to cultivate in this way.

The perfected level of [Sword Essence Finger] and the close telepathic connection between the user and the spiritual plant are not possessed by other spiritual plant masters.

【Weak plant cultivator, are you trying to get our attention this way?】X3.

The three blazing sun fruit plants, though still in the seedling stage, were incredibly arrogant.

Lu Ping ignored the Fiery Sun Fruit seedlings and headed to the third spiritual soil area.

Within the third spiritual land area, the cloud-patterned bamboo has grown taller again.

"no."

"Yunwenzhu, you're one of the oldest people in this courtyard."

"In other words, you are the senior disciple of this batch of Iron Sword Orchids and Blazing Sun Fruits."

"You need to set a good example."

Looking at the Cloud Pattern Bamboo, which was still growing at a snail's pace, Lü Ping was heartbroken. Why was the Cloud Pattern Bamboo only growing taller, but not growing at all?

Are you just here to freeload? Don't corrupt these Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium faberi seedlings.

【Sorry, plant spirit master.】

There was a hint of embarrassment in Yunwenzhu's tone.

Lu Ping waved his hand. He was just giving him routine encouragement. Let the growth be slow as it may; it will mature sooner or later anyway.

【Master, there are so many people outside.】

Big Yellow twitched its nose, discerning the scents in the air and relaying them to Lü Ping.

Moreover, they possessed a very strong aura of bamboo.

Within Yunzhu Market, the cultivators with the strongest aura of cloud-patterned bamboo are only those from the Yunzhu Li family.

Lu Ping calculated the time and immediately understood what had happened.

"The Ascension Ceremony is almost here..."
