Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

After the first spring thunder, came continuous spring rain.

Fine, continuous rain, carrying the breath of revival for all things, washed and cleansed the entire Yunzhufang City.

Spring rain, brimming with vitality, falls into the sacred soil of the courtyard.

The spiritual land, which had suffered from the harsh winds and snow of the Snow Toad Mountains, gradually deepened in color and slowly recovered its fertility under the nourishment of spring rains rich in spiritual energy.

As the saying goes, spring rain is as precious as oil.

"I didn't expect that this saying would still be applicable in the cultivation world."

Lu Ping walked into the rain, where he was still being battered and pounded by the fine, continuous raindrops.

His robes were soaked by the spring rain, but because of his abundant blood and strong physique, the raindrops evaporated as they tried to penetrate his body, forming a mist that rolled upwards.

Inserting your hand into the sacred soil, you can feel its joyful cheers, its yearning for this spring rain.

[Spiritual plant practitioners, there's no need for you to protect us.]

A mere spring rain.

In the dim light of the spring rain, three blazing red fruits hanging from the branches basked in the baptism of the rain, and the fruits seemed to be undergoing a transformation.

Lu Ping calmed his mind and focused on the growth progress of the Flaming Sun Fruit.

Despite this baptism, the growth momentum of the three Flaming Sun Fruit plants increased rather than decreased.

"Huh, that's cloud-patterned bamboo?"

Despite this question, Lü Ping first led the five Firefeather Chickens into Big Yellow's shed.

Firefeather Chickens are drawn to the aura of fire spirits, but they are not yet mature and are at most young adults. If they accidentally catch a disease from the rain, it would be quite bad.

The five fire-feathered chickens, who were sleeping soundly in the spirit land, have now turned into drowned chickens.

Normally, the crimson feathers, which look like they're burning with flames, are soaked through, and their high fighting spirit is mostly extinguished.

After settling the Firefeather Chicken, Lü Ping went to check on the Cloud Pattern Bamboo.

In the dim rain, the cloud-patterned bamboo leaves and the white cloud patterns on the bamboo joints became even more eye-catching, exuding a misty, spiritual aura.

Boom!

A spiderweb-like bolt of lightning suddenly split the sky.

The white cloud patterns on the bamboo accentuate its upright form.

Seeing that the cloud-patterned bamboo was growing faster and faster than ever before, Lu Ping was gratified.

"Not bad, not bad, you're finally starting to understand things."

Gently stroking the upright bamboo stalk of the cloud-patterned bamboo, Lü Ping felt like an old father, deeply gratified by his child's sensible growth.

Cloud-patterned Bamboo is finally no longer that child who only eats and drinks, grows tall but doesn't "grow any heart".

【Cloud-patterned Bamboo: ......】

As for the Iron Sword Orchid, the new batch of Iron Sword Orchids hasn't arrived yet.

This spring rain.

It happened intermittently for several days.

Five days later, the weather finally cleared up.

The first rays of dawn break on the horizon.

After tidying up briefly, Lü Ping instructed Da Huang to take good care of the spiritual plants in the courtyard and the Fire Feather Chicken before setting off for the market.

Spring has arrived, and it's the second phase of land reclamation, making it a perfect time to cultivate new spring grasses.

Cultivating Rejuvenating Grass has many benefits.

Firstly, it can earn another round of pioneering spirit stones to enrich one's wealth. Spirit stones are the source of a cultivator's courage. How can one cultivate safely if the storage bag at one's waist is empty?

Secondly, Rejuvenating Grass remains the most stable and fastest way to obtain spiritual energy clusters.

Lu Ping's cultivation level not only increased at a much faster rate than other cultivators, but his foundation was also solid, which was inseparable from the pure spiritual energy within the spiritual energy cluster.

"One day, I'll rent an entire mountain, plant it with rejuvenating herbs, and harvest piles of spiritual energy."

Lu Ping pondered for a moment. If he could really achieve that, wouldn't the speed at which his cultivation increased be like riding a flying magic artifact?

Inside the inner city, at Lingcao Hall.

After being cleansed by the spring rain, the fragrance of the medicinal herbs in Lingcaotang became richer and purer.

Inside the Lingcao Hall, the young apprentice was busy among the goods, his feet barely touching the ground; while Manager Lu leaned against the counter, leisurely sipping tea.

"Oh, young Lu, you're here." Manager Lu raised an eyebrow when he saw Lu Ping arrive, and a young servant who was tending tea and medicine immediately handed Lu Ping some tea.

Lu Ping accepted the tea and thanked Manager Lu.

"Young Master Lu, what are you busy with?" Manager Lu said with a half-smile, his expression carrying a strange meaning. "I heard that a few days ago, you went to the Treasure Pavilion to inquire about the Fire Cloud Stone."

"Later, when I couldn't buy the Fire Cloud Stone, I bought a few Fire Feather Chickens at the cultivator market..."

Upon hearing this, Lü Ping couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Yunzhu Market is large in some ways, reaching the outer area and enough to accommodate many independent cultivators; yet it is also small, so small that any news, actions, or traces of the past are like a blank sheet of paper in the eyes of these inner city cultivators.

Lu Ping could have predicted that Manager Lu would pay such attention, and that was why, even though he had mastered the method of condensing the seeds of the Rejuvenating Grass, he could only come to the Spirit Herb Hall to buy the seeds of the Rejuvenating Grass.

Without him.

If other cultivators were to notice even the slightest clue, they would face utter destruction.

This is why Lü Ping cultivated spiritual plants of perfect quality but did not choose to sell them to other pharmacies or alchemy shops.

Without secret techniques to alter one's physical form and energy, one can only suppress one's greed for spirit stones.

As expected, within the market, the plight of weak and low-status cultivators is...

"I am flattered by Manager Lu's attention to me," Lü Ping replied. "A few days ago at the market for independent cultivators, I bought some new spiritual seeds and, feeling a bit itchy to try planting them, I decided to give it a go."

"I've come here to find Manager Lu and purchase a batch of spirit seeds."

After some casual conversation, Lü Ping was still able to purchase twenty portions of Rejuvenating Grass Seeds from Manager Lu at an extremely low price.

As for the Iron Sword Orchid, since the courtyard is about to be relocated, Lü Ping did not purchase any Iron Sword Orchid seedlings this time.

Until I returned to my own courtyard, I planted the Rejuvenating Grass.

A single spell of spiritual rain precisely irrigates the seeds of the Rejuvenating Grass.

As the spring grass sprouted, Lü Ping's heart gradually calmed down.

Now all we need to do is cultivate the Rejuvenating Grass and the Fire Feather Chicken, and patiently wait to harvest the white light orbs.

Lu Ping's life returned to normal once again.

Chickens and dogs crowed and chattered in the courtyard, and in the sacred soil, the spring grass took the lead in unfurling, its growth rate soaring rapidly.

In contrast to the quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside Lü Ping's courtyard, the entire market area began to bustle with activity once again.

Upon learning that the second phase of the land reclamation was about to begin, batches of spirit plant masters began cultivating Rejuvenating Grass once again, hoping to earn another sum of land reclamation spirit stones.

A month passed by like water slipping through your fingers.

early morning.

Lu Ping was awakened by the chirping of the Fire Feather Chicken. He pushed open the wooden door and was greeted by a refreshing coolness.

He intended to go and check on the Rejuvenating Herb, but suddenly discovered...

Within the spiritual soil, the bright, gleaming growth progress bar has already been filled, moving back and forth within the soil, exuding an irresistible allure, as if tempting cultivators to commit crimes.

Lu Ping looked closely and saw that the progress bar was actually showing five Fire Feather Chickens.

Unexpectedly, the time required for the turkeys to mature was shorter than he had anticipated.

"As expected, it's my first time breeding Firefeather Chickens, so I don't have much experience, but the estimated time is about right."

"However, I may have miscalculated."

"What do you mean by provoking me like this!"

"We must reap a heavy harvest from you."
