I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Back then, the Hailou Merchant Association sent five Heavenly Origin Fruit spiritual seeds, yielding two spiritual fruits. The other three were used to condense seeds, resulting in a total of eleven spiritual seeds.

There are still ten pure white spiritual plants left in the spiritual field. Upon closer inspection, they won't take too long to fully mature.

"Ten plants, I can keep six to condense seeds, harvest four light clusters, and see if I can get the Turtle Crane Essence Pill recipe experience package."

"Once I cultivate another batch, I can mass-produce this rare sixth-grade longevity spiritual plant."

He muttered to himself, patiently waiting for the Heavenly Origin Fruits to mature.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed. He successively harvested four Heavenly Origin Fruits, and the four light clusters yielded two seventh-grade Turtle Crane Essence Pills, as well as two Turtle Crane Essence Pill recipe experience packages.

Regarding this rare seventh-grade longevity elixir, he already possessed a near-master level of refining skill even before refining it.

The six Heavenly Origin Fruit plants that were kept ultimately condensed into twenty-two spiritual seeds. After processing them with special methods, he could begin a new round of cultivation.

That day, as he was cultivating the Sleeve Universe Divine Power on the ninth-grade lotus platform, an uninvited guest arrived outside the cave.

"Lin Beihai of Qingwei Sword Peak brings a friend to visit."

The white ape's sharp voice entered Lu Xuan's ears.

With a wave of his hand, he stored the ninth-grade lotus platform into the Square Inch Book.

Lin Beihai is a Nascent Soul中期 cultivator from Qingwei Sword Peak, proficient in alchemy. The two only have a superficial acquaintance, having met no more than three times.

Although he didn't know why this fellow disciple had come, since the other party had brought someone to visit, Lu Xuan naturally had to entertain them properly.

"Senior Brother Lin, it's been a while."

Lu Xuan greeted him with a smile.

Lin Beihai is a refined middle-aged cultivator. Behind him stood an old man who maintained a kind smile. The old man had a benevolent appearance, making people feel a sense of closeness.

"Junior Brother Lu, let me introduce you. This fellow Daoist is Wen Wuchen, an elder of the Taiyi Alliance. He has known me for many years, has long admired your name, and specifically asked me to introduce you."

Lin Beihai said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Wen, this is Lu Xuan, the most famous spiritual plant cultivator in our Sword Sect."

"Wen Wuchen greets Fellow Daoist Lu. I have long admired your name, and today I have finally had the opportunity to meet you."

The old man's smile deepened when he saw Lu Xuan, and he complimented him.

"Fellow Daoist Wen is too kind. The Taiyi Alliance is truly renowned throughout the heavens and realms."

Lu Xuan said quickly.

Although he rarely leaves the Sword Sect, he still understands some basic common sense of the cultivation world.

The Taiyi Alliance can be regarded as the most famous merchant organization in the heavens and realms, far stronger than the Hailou Merchant Association. Even the three large cities outside the Sword Sect have more than one of its shops, and the scale is more than a thousand times that of his grocery store.

If the Hailou Merchant Association's tentacles extend to many realms, then the Taiyi Alliance has its own shops in the vast majority of realms, and it consistently ranks at the top.

It can be said that the Taiyi Alliance is a behemoth in the cultivation world, just like the Dongxuan Sword Sect.

Filled with doubt, Lu Xuan invited the two into a secluded courtyard, bringing out top-grade spiritual fruits and spiritual wine to entertain them.

Lu Xuan said modestly.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu recently launched a sixth-grade spiritual wine called Azure Lotus Wine?"

"There is such a thing. I was fortunate enough to obtain that spiritual wine recipe, and after researching and exploring for a long time, I finally successfully brewed it."

"However, the difficulty of brewing Azure Lotus Wine is too great, and it requires too many materials, so only a very small amount has been brewed."

Lu Xuan said cautiously. He still had some Azure Lotus Wine in his possession, but it was all reserved for himself and close friends. Using True Still Sword Liquid and Ape Demon Wine to entertain the two was already quite polite.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is too modest. If Fellow Daoist needs to search for brewing materials, you can completely contact our Taiyi Alliance. The entire alliance welcomes Fellow Daoist to visit."

Wen Wuchen said meaningfully.

"Fellow Daoist Wen's meaning is…"

Lu Xuan paused.

"Fellow Daoist Lu has a shop in Sword Abyss City, right? It sells Yuanling Pills, various fifth-grade sword talismans, and various spiritual wines. Although the scale is average, those special treasures are extremely attractive in the cultivation world."

"The alliance has sent people to investigate many times and believes that the shop has great potential. Therefore, we want to establish a cooperative relationship with Fellow Daoist Lu."

Wen Wuchen adopted a very humble attitude and said with a smile.

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one is in, one one look!

"Oh? What kind of cooperation is it?"

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

"The best way is for the Taiyi Alliance to invest in Fellow Daoist's shop, providing Fellow Daoist with channels, resources, and a platform to make the spiritual wine and elixirs you produce popular throughout the heavens and realms."

"Fellow Daoist can earn a lot of profit from it, and the specific details can be discussed in detail."

"You want to invest in my grocery store?"

Lu Xuan chuckled.

"It is Lu's honor that the Taiyi Alliance values Lu so much. However, Lu's mind is mainly focused on cultivating spiritual plants and cultivation. Alchemy and spiritual wine are secondary. One person's production is limited and cannot be provided to the Taiyi Alliance stably for a long time."

"Most importantly, has Fellow Daoist Wen heard of my relationship with the Hailou Merchant Association?"

"I have heard something about it. I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu has served as a guest elder of the Hailou Merchant Association for more than a hundred years and has a deep friendship with that artifact spirit."

"However, people always strive for higher positions. Fellow Daoist Lu is a member of the Sword Sect and is already in the Nascent Soul中期 stage. The return to the merchant association is already sufficient, and you can completely choose another partner."

Wen Wuchen's smile disappeared, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Moreover, the founder of the Hailou Merchant Association is just a high-level magic treasure artifact spirit, like duckweed without roots, and cannot withstand any storms."

"The merchant association has been rooted in the cultivation world for many years after all. The artifact spirit senior's origins are mysterious and his strength is powerful. Protecting a merchant association is still not a problem."

Lu Xuan replied with a normal expression.

After he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he had contact with the pagoda artifact spirit and knew that the other party's strength was unfathomable and that he was proficient in the art of space. Therefore, he was not worried about any problems that might arise with the artifact spirit.

Regarding what Wen Wuchen said, he had no thoughts whatsoever.

With the Sword Sect and the merchant association in existence, the spiritual seeds and treasures he needs can be satisfied. Even if he cooperates with the Taiyi Alliance, it would at most be icing on the cake.

Moreover, he became a guest elder of the Hailou Merchant Association when he was still in the Foundation Establishment realm and has grown all the way to the present. He doesn't know how many spiritual seeds and treasures he has obtained from the merchant association. Even that crucial portable space was refined from a broken blessed land given by the artifact spirit.

He has always been nostalgic and naturally cannot do such disgraceful things.

At his level, he does not lack channels to obtain high-level spiritual seeds. Just taking out a treasure from his body would attract countless Nascent Soul True Monarchs to exchange seeds.

Therefore, it is better to maintain that rather relaxed and pleasant cooperative relationship with the merchant association. Lu Xuan had the idea of rejecting Wen Wuchen.
