You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 715: Sky Origin Fruit

He was the first to arrive at the ancient stone with the vision of the green lotus.

There was already a Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator closely examining the ancient stone when Lu Xuan quietly approached and explored every part of the ancient stone with his Spiritual Sense.

“Fellow Daoist, have you found something?”

After observing for a while, the Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator asked Lu Xuan.

“No, the material of this ancient stone is too peculiar. My Spiritual Sense enters it as if sinking into the sea, and even using the Pupil Skill, I can’t see clearly.”

Lu Xuan shook his head.

“Indeed, we can only depend on our own fortune to gamble on it.”

“If the gamble pays off, you could obtain a rare treasure. If it does not, then you’ve simply lost two hundred Middle-Grade Spiritual Stones.”

“It would be nice to have the ability to see through the treasures within the stone.”

The cultivator stood in front of the Green Lotus Ancient Stone, hesitating for a while, but ultimately made no choice.

After he left, Lu Xuan approached the Green Lotus Ancient Stone, picked it up gently and pretended to examine it closely.

With such a gesture, the other cultivators automatically stayed away from the Green Lotus Ancient Stone.

After observing for half a moment, Lu Xuan’s expression revealed a hint of sadness as he gently set the Green Lotus Ancient Stone down.

Simultaneously, he executed the Grandmaster-level Earth Attraction Technique very covertly, making the ancient stone slightly sink into the ground.

His mind concentrated on the surface of the Green Lotus Ancient Stone.

The anticipated thoughts did not emerge in his mind.

Lu Xuan stayed calm, he knew even if his method were feasible, the chance of obtaining Spiritual Seeds from the ancient stone was not high.

After all, only some ancient stones contained rare treasures. The types of these treasures varied, including Spirit Ores, Magic Treasures, Spirit Pills, and so on, making it extremely difficult to find an ancient stone containing Spiritual Seeds due to these dual factors.

He leisurely moved to another ancient stone and replicated the process, silently completing the embedding action.

Among the present cultivators, there were quite a few who used various little tricks to explore the ancient stones like him. As long as they did not damage the ancient stones, the Ancient Jade Pavilion cultivator did not mind.

“Could it be that this method is ineffective? I haven’t found a single Spirit Seed.”

Lu Xuan inspected seven or eight ancient stones in succession and found nothing relevant in his mind, causing him to waver slightly.

He stopped in his tracks and adjusted his breathing. He then continued confidently toward another ancient stone.

“Fellow Daoist, it seems you have been following me for a while now.”

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at a thin middle-aged man beside him, who had small mustaches at the corners of his upper lip and a sly glint in his eyes. ṙå₦Ổ₿Ěȿ

“Fellow Daoist, do not speak nonsense. The hall is just this big; isn’t it very normal to bump into each other often?”

The thin middle-aged man smiled, revealing a set of uneven yellow teeth.

The lean middle-aged man’s figure wavered, and Lu Xuan, in a moment of bewilderment, saw the middle-aged man transform into a bizarre three-foot tall figure with a sharp head, his body becoming rounder towards the bottom, overall resembling a smoothly lined pagoda.

Upon another glance, the figure had reverted to the middle-aged form.

“I’ve met my senior, I didn’t expect to encounter you here at the Ancient Jade Pavilion.”

Lu Xuan greeted respectfully.

This was his direct supervisor, the Artifact Spirit of the High Order Magical Artifact of the Sea Tower Commerce Association. His appointment as a Guest Elder was decided by it with a single word.

Such a powerful alliance, he must indeed cling to tightly.

“If not here, then where else could we meet? I opened this Ancient Jade Pavilion!”

The lean middle-aged man said with a lively and cute tone, smiling widely, which contrasted greatly with his appearance.

“...”

Lu Xuan stood stunned in place, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, taking a while to digest the information from the Instrument Spirit’s words.

“This Ancient Jade Pavilion, famous for the Happy Star Cave, attracting countless cultivators to gamble on Ancient Stones, is actually a business run by the Treasure Tower’s Artifact Spirit?”

He appeared somewhat incredulous.

“Then these Ancient Stones...”

“They all came from ruins outside the domain; bringing them here just seemed like a fun thing to do because you guys find treasure opening quite interesting to play with.

Indeed, it’s possible that treasures are sealed inside, but I’m not clear on the specifics.”

“Don’t think you can get any insider information from me!”

The lean middle-aged man slightly lifted his mustache, squashing Lu Xuan’s hopeful notion.

“Lu Mou would naturally not ask senior to do something that breaks the rules.”

Lu Xuan said with an awkward smile.

“Alright, you can have fun here on your own; I won’t keep you company!”

Finding it uninteresting to have his identity so easily guessed, the Treasure Tower Instrument Spirit left these words behind and moved on to join a discussion with a few other cultivators.

“I didn’t expect the Instrument Spirit to open this Ancient Jade Pavilion just for fun.”

Lu Xuan shook his head, reflecting on the other’s carefree actions, then continued to try another Ancient Stone.

“Hmm, is there something?”

As he planted a Spiritual Seed into an Ancient Stone glowing faintly with white light, his mind instinctively focused, and an idea formed in his mind.

[Sky Origin Fruit, Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant, Spiritual Seed sealed by Odd Rocks to prevent the essence of life from dissipating.]

[The Spiritual Plant contains a strong life essence, requiring nourishment from the rich life force of the Spirit Spring and Spirit Soil to cultivate. Once the Spirit Plant matures and the Spirit Fruit is consumed, it can continuously generate life force within the body, reversing aging and adding to one’s lifespan.]
