You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 1029: Void Mirror

“Is this Disciple Lu?”

Lu Xuan was inspecting the scores of his fellow disciples on the talisman paper when a middle-aged man, clad in Taoist robes and with profound eyes, quietly approached him and asked gently.

“Lu Xuan has seen True Monarch Changhai.”

Lu Xuan hastily offered a respectful salute;the extraordinary presence of the middle-aged man was none other than the Talisman Master Ji Changhai from Heavenly Talisman Sword Peak, also the only Sword Sect cultivator to have received the top rating of Grade A.

“There’s no need for such formality, disciple;just call me Master Uncle.”

Ji Changhai said with a smile, showing none of the airs of a Primordial Infant True Monarch.

“Seeing the disciple’s profound craftsmanship on the Sword Talismans today, I couldn’t help but feel a desire to cherish such talent.”

“With the disciple’s natural gift for talismans, it would be a waste to stay in Huanzhen Sword Peak. Would you care to come to my Heavenly Talisman Sword Peak to study talismans? Heavenly Talisman Sword Master and I would spare no effort in teaching you, ensuring a rapid and significant advancement in your talisman skills and securing your reputation as the most famous Talisman Master in the Sword Sect.”

Ji Changhai’s tone was full of temptation.

“Ji Changhai, you’ve got some nerve to try and poach him right before me. Is Ye Mou invisible to you?”

As Lu Xuan was considering how to politely decline, Sword Sect Primordial Infant Cultivator Ye Lingkong stepped directly in front of Ji Changhai, his expression indignant.

“I merely do not wish to see such talent go to waste, as it would with you in Huanzhen Sword Peak.”

“The disgrace of a Primordial Infant True Monarch only receiving a Grade B-plus rating, while an Inner Sect Disciple outperforms him—that wouldn’t happen in Heavenly Talisman Sword Peak.”

Ji Changhai replied indifferently.

“You…”

Ye Lingkong was left speechless by these words.

“Huanzhen Sword Peak can meet all of Disciple Lu’s needs, what can your Heavenly Talisman Sword Peak offer?”

“Disciple Lu was personally brought back from the Outer Domains by the Sword Master himself. If you want to take him, you should ask the True Sword Master directly.”

He played his trump card, speaking coldly, knowing that if the True Sword Master learned that Lu Xuan was poached by a cultivator from another Sword Peak right in front of their eyes, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the Sword Master’s thunderous wrath.

Thus, he absolutely would not allow any other Sword Peak Primordial Infant Cultivator to get their hands on Lu Xuan.

Ji Changhai was about to say something when Lu Xuan spoke up directly:

“Thank you, True Monarch Changhai, for your high regard for me.”

“However, when I was first brought back to the Sword Sect from the Cloud Void Domain by True Sword Master, everyone at Sword Peak took great care of me. After all these years, I’ve grown accustomed to living on Sword Peak and have no thoughts of moving.”

He declined gracefully.

For him, having the reward of the light cluster, it didn’t make much difference which Sword Peak he was based in.

To enter Heavenly Talisman Sword Peak might unnecessarily expose his true talent for talismans. Better to stay content in Huanzhen Sword Peak, enjoying his freedom.

Seeing that Lu Xuan had firmly made his stance clear, Ji Changhai did not say more and after leaving behind a communication talisman, he left directly.

“Disciple Lu, let’s return together.”

Ye Lingkong slowly said.

Lu Xuan’s firm rejection of the other party, coupled with the exceptional Grade A-minus score he received in the talisman contest, greatly pleased him.

Among the other Sword Peak cultivators, besides his B-plus score, the highest anyone else achieved was a Grade C.

How could Lu Xuan, who alone had significantly elevated Huanzhen Sword Peak’s score, be allowed to be poached by another Sword Peak?

A sense of urgency rose in Ye Lingkong’s heart, wishing he could enter and exit in unison with Lu Xuan.

“Alright, as you wish, Master Ye.”

Lu Xuan said, bowing his head. He had wanted to witness the competition among the many Inner Sect Disciples of the Sword Sect, but as Ye Lingkong suggested, he could only comply.

Two days later, the Spirit Plant competition officially began.

“Disciple, out of the various cultivation practices you have mastered, Spirit Plants are your strongest. Just treat it calmly as always.”

To see Lu Xuan off to the Sword Palace, the True Sword Master himself came, ignoring the remaining Spirit Plant Masters.

“Alright, Uncle Master, wait for my good news.”

Lu Xuan said calmly, exuding confidence.

Inside the hall.

He stood side by side with Shang Xiuyuan, Yu Qiushui, and others.

This time, the competition of the Spirit Plant involved more than three hundred contestants from the nine great Sword Peaks, with Huanzhen Sword Peak having the least number of participants—twenty-three.

“Brother Lu, we’re all counting on you for the Spirit Plant competition this time.”

Shang Xiuyuan said with a smile, as the people beside him nodded and agreed in unison.

After Lu Xuan had joined the Huanzhen Sword Peak, everyone more or less interacted and enticed him, thoroughly recognizing his astonishing ability in Spirit Plants, and they unhesitatingly placed the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

“Let’s encourage each other.”

Lu Xuan laughed, looking around.

Inside the hall, there were more than three hundred bronze ancient mirrors, which seemed like bronze gateways, seemingly connected to some illusory and mysterious existence.

“Brother Lu, this is a High Order Magical Artifact of the Sword Sect, called the Void Mirror, which creates multiple Illusion Realms.”

“Next, every Spirit Plant Master will enter into one of the Illusion Realms separately. According to my experience from the previous three competitions, there will be a Divine Sense manifestation of a Nascent Soul Elder from the Sword Palace, testing the knowledge level of the Spirit Plant Master.”

“The content of the competition will be based on the data you previously submitted. The more varieties of Spirit Plants you have cultivated, and the higher their Ranks, the higher the score you’ll get once you pass the test.”

Shang Xiuyuan whispered to him.

“Thank you for your explanation, junior brother.”

Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude softly.

Soon, all the Spirit Plant Masters arrived in the hall.

A woman in palace attire fluttered her garments and flew up into the air.

“I invite all Sword Sect Disciples to enter into the Illusion Realms.”

Everyone stepped in front of one of the bronze ancient mirrors in turn.

Their expressions varied, some were confident and composed, some were nervous, while others appeared calm.

Lu Xuan gently pushed the ancient mirror before him.

In an instant, his vision blurred, and then he entered a strange space.

Chaos surrounded him in every direction, with only a Medicine Garden in the center, where various vigorous Spirit Plants were growing.

“Hmm?”

“Enchanted Immortal Peach, Jade Scale Fruit, Two Grade Sword Grass… Aren’t these all the Spirit Plants I cultivated before? They have all been manifested by the Void Mirror?”

Lu Xuan was taken aback.

The Medicine Garden contained hundreds of varieties of Spirit Plants that he had once planted, including even some High Rank Spirit Plants and almost all Weird Spiritual Plants that hadn’t manifested.

As he was carefully observing the Medicine Garden, six illusory figures quietly appeared back in the hall.

“It’s time to separate Divine Thoughts into the Void Mirror again. It’s a good thing that the Magical Treasure Instrument Spirits can provide quite a bit of assistance, otherwise, separating so many Divine Thoughts would be too much for the Divine Soul.”

A tall figure whispered.

“I hope the Illusion Realm scenarios I enter into are simpler so that the Divine Soul will also have an easier time.”

“Uncle Brother, that isn’t right. As an Elder of the Sword Sect, how can you hope that your Spirit Plant Masters under you won’t be ambitious enough?”

“Haha, I would actually hope for someone capable. I want the Illusion Realm Medicine Garden they create to be as complex and vast as possible. Unfortunately, they just don’t have the talent.”

During their conversation, the six figures flickered slightly and then turned into beams of Divine Thought, entering the bronze ancient mirrors.

The amount of Divine Thought separated was closely related to the Illusion Realms manifested by the ancient mirrors, whereas the size and difficulty of the Illusion Realms corresponded proportionally to the data first submitted by the Spirit Plant Masters.

“Hmm? What’s going on with this Illusion Realm? Why is it absorbing so much of my Divine Thought!”

One of the bronze ancient mirrors was pulling in significantly more Divine Thought compared to the ones beside it, drawing numerous Divine Thoughts into it.
