You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 441: The Thigh of Thighs

"Esteemed senior brothers and sisters, I am fortunate to attend today’s alchemy exchange meeting. As a junior, I have benefited immensely, learning a lot from everyone. I am deeply grateful."

After the exchange concluded, Lu Xuan stood up and spoke earnestly.

"As a novice in alchemy, I still hold some confidence in cultivating spiritual plants."

"If any senior brothers or sisters possess spiritual plants that are difficult to cultivate, you can entrust them to me. I guarantee success."

"The more bizarre and rare the spiritual plants, the better. I enjoy the challenge of such plants."

"Furthermore, if you happen to acquire any unknown spiritual seeds, you can also come to me to exchange them for other treasures or purchase them with spirit stones or sword seals. I promise you won’t be disappointed with the price."

Lu Xuan spoke enthusiastically, making himself familiar in front of several alchemy masters.

The Pill Hall is the wealthiest force within the Sky Sword Sect, and these fellow sect members are its most outstanding alchemists.

The majority of spirit stones are in the hands of these few alchemy masters, who might one day bring Lu Xuan some rare and unusual spiritual seed.

The relationship between a plant cultivator and an alchemist is like a match made in heaven, igniting fiercely upon contact.

With their promises in hand, Lu Xuan returned to his cave dwelling.

Arriving at his spiritual field, he immersed himself in cultivating spiritual plants, and half a day passed unknowingly.

A streak of red light flashed by, and Huo Lin'er, wearing a bright red robe, appeared outside the mountain's array formation.

"Huo Lin'er senior brother, it’s been a while. How have you been?"

Seeing him, Lu Xuan hurriedly opened the flowing light array formation to let the true disciple, Huo Lin'er, in.

"Lu junior brother, I see you're cultivating spiritual plants!"

A youthful smile appeared on Huo Lin'er’s face, speaking with an air of maturity.

Lu Xuan led him into the courtyard, then brought out spiritual fruits and tea.

"This spiritual fruit and tea taste pretty good," Huo Lin'er commented after a taste.

"I've come today because there's something I need from you," he said seriously.

"Please speak, senior brother," Lu Xuan replied solemnly.

"From what I know, it seems you have a close relationship with the descendants of the sect's two guardian spiritual beasts?"

Huo Lin'er asked. He had encountered the White Jade Heavenly Ape and the Profound White Phoenix assisting Lu Xuan in fighting against evil cultivators.

Although these two spiritual beasts were of high grade, they were still in their growth stage and usually stayed within the sect, rarely venturing out.

Yet, Lu Xuan was able to invite these two spiritual beasts to join him in combating evil cultivators, indicating a special relationship between them.

"Indeed, I do have some friendship with the White Ape and the Phoenix Bird," Lu Xuan honestly confessed, with no intention of hiding.

The day they confronted the evil cultivators behind the Saint Infant Fruit, not only Huo Lin'er but also Ge Pu and Zhong Jingshan, two other true disciples, witnessed the involvement of the White Ape and the Phoenix Bird. There was no need to hide his relationship with them.

"Long ago, while I was picking spiritual fruits in my cave dwelling, the White Ape and the Phoenix Bird were attracted by the fruits I cultivated, so I gave them some to taste."

"From there, we bonded over the spiritual fruits, gradually becoming familiar with each other and eventually becoming friends of different species."

He half-truthfully explained.

"My visit is related to them," Huo Lin'er continued.

"The White Jade Heavenly Ape and the Profound White Phoenix are our sect's guardian spiritual beasts, among the highest of grades."

"Such spiritual beasts serve many purposes. Those of outstanding bloodlines and strength can protect the safety of the sect, while ordinary guardian spiritual beasts can be used to guard critical locations, serve as large-scale transportation, or seal demonic entities, among other tasks."

"Most of the time, they live in a blessed land within the sect, only leaving when necessary. This land includes the elders of the White Ape and the Phoenix Bird."

"All possessing the strength of Core Formation True Immortals."

Huo Lin'er added.

Lu Xuan was inwardly astounded; the White Jade Heavenly Ape and the Profound White Phoenix were already significant figures to him, and now there were even more powerful elders behind them? Was this the thigh of thighs?

"Normally, a Core Formation elder manages that blessed land. However, that elder is about to leave for some business, and other elders are either traveling, in seclusion, or preoccupied with trivial matters, resulting in no one to look after the land."

"True disciples usually take charge in such

cases, but those remaining in the sect aren’t adept at handling spiritual beasts. Thus, I recommended you to the elder."

Huo Lin'er slowly explained.

"Are you suggesting that I take care of guardian spiritual beasts with the power of Core Formation True Immortals?" Lu Xuan couldn’t help but ask.

"Each spiritual beast has its caretakers. The elders of the White Ape and others enjoy great freedom. What you need to do is keep an eye on them, and if they act against the rules, you might need to discipline them a bit."

"Even fourth-grade guardian spiritual beasts will likely obey your commands," Huo Lin'er assured.

Considering the pros and cons, the advantages were clear: he could make an impression in front of a Core Formation elder, possibly gaining significant opportunities.

However, Lu Xuan, despite his confidence in knowing the detailed states of spiritual beasts and adapting accordingly, felt uncertain about dealing with Core Formation-level beasts. The massive power gap meant that, even with detailed knowledge, they might not willingly accept his control.

Should any mishap occur, Lu Xuan would be held responsible.

"Senior brother Huo, my cultivation is average. There is a fellow disciple named Zhong Hao with higher cultivation than mine, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He also possesses unique skills in taming spiritual beasts; he might be more suitable for overseeing the guardian spiritual beasts."

After a moment of thought, he suggested to Huo Lin'er.

"Ha ha ha, it seems you two think alike."

"Other senior brothers have already inquired with Zhong junior brother, who highly praised your skills in taming spiritual beasts, asserting that his abilities in this regard are far inferior to yours," Huo Lin'er revealed.

Zhong Hao had been utterly convinced by Lu Xuan's skills in handling spiritual beasts after Lu Xuan solved the breeding problem of the Shadow Beasts with the peculiar Flesh-Feeding Bug.

"That Zhong Hao, always speaking the blunt truth."

Lu Xuan sighed to himself upon hearing this.

"Lu junior brother, rest assured. The spiritual beasts have been thoroughly domesticated by the sect. Even with their unique traits, they pose no significant harm. Taking charge of the blessed land and overseeing them is not difficult. Doing well could even lead to a great opportunity. I recommended you to the Core Formation elder because I believe in your ability to care for spiritual beasts," Huo Lin'er reassured.

"Alright, then I'll take a trip to the blessed land. If I'm capable, I'll temporarily take charge of the secret realm. If not, I'll have to decline," Lu Xuan resolved firmly.

"It's just about taking care of the big players, right? If I can manage the small ones, why not the big ones?"

He was not just aiming to support the significant figures but also the giants behind them.

He thought to himself.
