I PRACTICE FARMING WHILE THE REST CULTIVATES

Chapter 930: Chapter 928: The Current Situation of An Old Friend

“`

The two entered the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, and they sped through a sky filled with fine bolts of thunder, and moments later, they arrived outside Lu Xuan’s Cave Mansion.

“Here we are.”

Lu Xuan landed on the ground, and with a thought, the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array opened, creating a passage for the two to enter and exit.

“This spiritual energy in your cave abode, Junior Brother, is no less impressive than what was inside the Inner Sect of Sky Sword Sect.”

Ge Pu, sensing the dense and pure spiritual energy around them, couldn’t help but remark.

…

He followed behind Lu Xuan, passing through layers of mist, sensing the plant spirit aura that diffused from the fog.

“Cultivating so many high-rank spirit plants, no wonder your name as a Spirit Plant Master resonates throughout the Liyang Region.”

He spoke softly, when suddenly, a large number of strangely shaped spirit beasts rushed towards them aggressively.

His pupils involuntarily dilated, swirling with black and white spiritual light.

“Brother Ge, these are the spirit beasts I’ve raised; they won’t hurt anyone.”

Lu Xuan soothed the group of spirit beasts, smiling as he spoke.

“Fourth to fifth rank spirit beasts, and even strange spirits.”

“That one bearing a resemblance to the ancient exotic beast Kylin clearly has a special bloodline.”

“I had no idea you’d built such a massive enterprise in the Central Continent Great Land, Junior Brother.”

Ge Pu’s expression was complex.

He was full of gratitude for Lu Xuan, as his own success in achieving the Golden Core was intricately linked to Lu Xuan.

The breeding issue with the Yin Yang Koi Fish was solved effortlessly by Lu Xuan, leading to astonishing growth and benefiting Ge Pu greatly as he practiced the corresponding cultivation techniques.

When preparing for Core Formation, it was also Lu Xuan who informed him about the Saint Baby Pill that could increase the odds of Core Formation, allowing him to prepare in advance and obtain the pill.

With all these factors combined, upon learning Lu Xuan’s whereabouts, his heart was overjoyed, eager to find him and invite him into Dongxuan Sword Sect to continue their brotherhood and, along the way, repay the help Lu Xuan had given him.

But unexpectedly, he was shocked by the many surprises from Lu Xuan.

That aloof, stern True Sword Master who had appeared in that little shop had also invited Lu Xuan to join Huanzhen Sword Peak with great effort.

It was the first time he saw the True Sword Master so proactive; the smile in that shop was wider than all the smiles he had seen from him in the past combined.

Such a stark contrast made it difficult for his heart to calm down.

The two sat in the courtyard, tasting spirit fruit brews and chatting idly.

“Junior Brother Lu, after so many years drifting alone, it must have been hard for you.”

Ge Pu’s expression was solemn.

A Spirit Plant Master from the Foundation Establishment Late-term, who had grown to the Golden Core Late Stage Realm in just a few decades—even with some great opportunity, one could imagine the numerous hardships faced along the way.

“It’s been okay.”

Lu Xuan smiled nonchalantly.

Hardship? That didn’t quite seem to ring true for him; after all, he just cultivated spirit plants, gathered light clusters, and smoothly made it to where he was today.

“But the hard days are finally over. When we return to Dongxuan Sword Sect, with your skills in cultivating spiritual plants, brewing spirit drinks, and talisman making, we might need you to look after us even more in the future.”

Ge Pu spoke with a smile.

“Brother Ge, you’re too kind. We’ve been brothers for many years, looking out for each other.”

Lu Xuan replied modestly.

“By the way, Brother Ge, how are the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of Authentic Teachings from Sky Sword Sect doing now?”

He asked curiously.

“It’s been a mix of fates, some good, some bad.”

Ge Pu sighed lightly, setting down his white jade wine cup.

“In particular, Senior Sister Sword Flawless, as she has the Innate Sword Body, was taken in by a Sword Master after joining Dongxuan Sword Sect. She successfully broke through to the Condensing Pill Realm and is currently at the Golden Core Mid-stage Cultivation.”

“Speaking of which, I still have the high-rank sword grass that Senior Sister Sword Flawless entrusted me to cultivate!”

Lu Xuan Laughed.

“`

A fourth-grade Sword Peacock and a fifth-grade Bone Slaying Sword Grass, both entrusted to Senior Sister Sword Flawless for cultivation, presented an excellent opportunity to return them to her.

“The path of cultivation for Junior Brother Fire Scale Child was not so smooth.”

“Though he was exceptionally talented with an innate Fire Spirit Body, after entering the Dongxuan Sword Sect, he struggled to accept the stark disparities in identity and status and hurriedly prepared for his Core Formation breakthrough.”

“Regrettably, his first attempt ended in failure, and even damaged his cultivation foundation. It took him a long time to fully recover, and he is currently preparing for his second attempt at breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.”

Ge Pu sighed deeply.

Lu Xuan’s mind conjured up the image of a cultivator dressed in a big red robe, whose stature and appearance resembled that of a child.

“What about Brother Zhong Jing Shan?”

He asked aloud.

“Brother Seed has fallen.”

A complex expression appeared on Ge Pu’s face.

“Ah?”

Lu Xuan was greatly surprised.

Brother Zhong Jing Shan had also been a true disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, skilled in beast taming and raising many strange insects. The two were on good terms, and Zhong had even assisted Lu Xuan when dealing with an evil cultivator who used the Holy Baby Fruit as bait.

Unexpectedly, by the time news was heard again, he was gone, the mortal and celestial separated.

“Though Brother Seed appeared quiet and reserved, his aspirations were high and he couldn’t bear to fall behind others. Once he joined the Dongxuan Sword Sect, he constantly sought out challenges, and during one exploration of a secret land, he was ambushed and killed by several evil cultivators.”

Ge Pu bowed his head, his fingers tightly gripping the white jade wine cup turning slightly pale.

He and Zhong Jing Shan had shared an inseparable bond, and one could only imagine the immense pain he felt upon learning of his close friend’s tragic death.

“Senior Brother, take heart.”

Lu Xuan said in a low voice.

“It has been over thirty years; I have long grown accustomed to it.”

Ge Pu took a deep breath.

“Out of the seventeen true disciples at the Sky Sword Sect initially, two died in demonic invasions.”

“Of the remaining fifteen, including myself, five have broken through to the Golden Core Realm, nine are merely a step away from Core Formation, and then there was Brother Seed’s unexpected demise.”

He detailed to Lu Xuan the current situation of the former true disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.

“By the way, Brother Ge, how are the Guardian Spirit Beasts that went with us doing now?”

Lu Xuan suddenly remembered the White Jade Sky Monkey and the Mysterious Sky Luan Bird that would often come to ask for Spirit Fruits, as well as the Old Dragon Turtle that enjoyed watching certain picturesque shows.

“I’m not too sure about that.”

“I’ve only seen them occasionally; they should all be well cared for by the Sword Sect.”

Ge Pu said, pondering for a moment.

“I wonder if those two Guardian Spirit Beasts still remember me…”

“And whether that Dragon Turtle still has as much free time to watch movies…”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

“Junior Brother Lu, I’ve arrived. You mentioned that a fellow member of the Dongxuan Sword Sect has come to the Liyang Region?”

Suddenly, a voice that was gentle yet carried a hint of urgency reached Lu Xuan’s ears.

A smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face. Upon learning that Ge Pu and the others were visiting, he immediately informed Shen Ye, never expecting that the two would manage to meet in his cave abode.

“Brother Ge, no need to use your Spiritual Sense, just guess who it is? I’ll give you three breaths’ time.”

Ge Pu closed his dark and light eyes, as if trying to recall the owner of the voice.

Having left the Cloud Void Domain for more than seventy years, the voices of his old sect mates had become very vague.

Abruptly opening his eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“Sword Hall’s Shen Ye, Junior Brother Shen?”
