You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 1060: Outer Heaven Flame Essence, Qianyuan Fire Cloud Needle
“Qing Hai, it’s been a long time.”
Lu Xuan nodded with a smile.
He led Hong Qinghai into the cave abode and brought him to the courtyard.
“It’s been tough on you, managing the shop inside Star Plucking Building all these years.”
He brewed a full cup of Jade Wash Spirit Dew for Hong Qinghai.
“Thank you, Senior Lu, it’s not tough at all;it’s my duty.”
Hong Qinghai, taken aback by the favor, hastily took the White Jade Wine Cup with both hands.
“Leaving you alone in the Liyang Region without a stable source of supply indeed wasn’t easy.”
Lu Xuan sat down and sighed lightly.
These words made Hong Qinghai’s hands tremble involuntarily, and he almost spilled the Spirit Brew from the cup.
It was more than just not easy! It was incredibly difficult!
He shouted in his heart.
Throughout these years of running the grocery store, he initially thought that Lu Xuan wouldn’t take too long to return, but it ended up being one or two decades.
As the number of treasure items in the shop dwindled, his anxiety intensified.
Once the quantity of treasures fell to a critical level, he had to stabilize the inquiring “Cultivators” while figuring out how to maximize the benefits from the few remaining treasures.
It could certainly be described as exhausting every last bit of energy and thought.
In the dead of night, he felt even more aggrieved when thinking of Wen Qian, who had traveled with Lu Xuan to Dongxuan Sword Sect.
While he was figuring out every possible way to stabilize the shop’s business in Star Plucking Building, Wen Qian, who stayed by Lu Xuan’s side, not only didn’t have to worry about the shortage of treasures but also received constant guidance and rewards from Lu Xuan.
However, despite the myriad complaints in his heart, he would never reveal them in front of Lu Xuan.
After all, Lu Xuan’s kindness was immense, allowing him, a destitute Qi-Cultivator who had to leave his homeland, to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm and receive warm hospitality from many Foundation Establishment and Jindan Cultivators. Compared to these, the grievances he suffered were nothing at all.
“Here is a Fifth Rank Spirit Pill, containing rich Primordial Qi. Consuming it can significantly enhance your inner Spiritual Power.”
“I see you have been in the Foundation Establishment Mid-term for a while;this pill will be perfect for you to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late-term.”
Lu Xuan, with his Spiritual Power, floated a pure white, rounded Elixir towards Hong Qinghai.
“Thank you, Senior!”
Hong Qinghai solemnly accepted the Spirit Pill, his expression carrying a hint of surrealism.
“A Fifth Rank Spirit Pill? Consuming it will allow me to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late-term…”
“Does that mean, forming a core could be within my reach?”
A thought typically unthinkable flitted through his mind.
All his bitterness, grievances, and envy vanished the moment he took the Spirit Pill.
“In a few days, I’ll bring plenty of treasures to the shop, and I’ll fetch some Spirit Stones while I’m there.”
Lu Xuan spoke indifferently.
“Alright, Senior, I keep clear records, and you can check them anytime.”
Hong Qinghai immediately responded.
“By the way, how are the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators I recruited at the beginning doing?”
Lu Xuan suddenly asked. Initially, because he had to open a branch in Dongxuan Sword Sect, he had Wood Daoren recruit five Foundation Establishment Cultivators and even unexpectedly received news about his junior from Sky Sword Sect, Baili Jianqing.
“Over the years, I’ve been discreetly observing the three of them;their characters are quite decent. There haven’t been any instances of embezzlement, nor have they had conflicts with the customers.”
“They were a bit green at handling transactions initially, but they gradually became adept and can now handle various complex situations.”
Hong Qinghai elaborated in detail.
Having received Lu Xuan’s promise, he didn’t stay long and bade farewell to Lu Xuan before leaving.
In the following months, due to the frequent visits of “Cultivators,” Lu Xuan stayed in his cave abode to condense the seeds and did not rush to the Abyss Star Cave.
During this time, seven Five-Elements Illusory Fruits condensed into twenty-six Spiritual Seeds, while another seven Pure Yang Golden Lotuses produced twenty-eight Spiritual Seeds.
As for the Thunderstorm Lotus and Ice Firefly Grass, the numbers were even greater.
The new Spiritual Seeds were all planted in the Spirit Soil, often nourished by Spirit Rain, and he could feel their vigorous vitality striving to break through the soil.
“There are Red Flaming Pears that have ripened.”
Twenty-one fiery red pears, and upon inspecting them one by one, Lu Xuan found two that were fully ripe.
The surface of the Spirit Fruit seemed to have flames cloud slowly moving across it, emitting a scorching breath, as if it could burst forth a surge of lava-like Spiritual Power in an instant.
“Never mind the others, let’s pick these two first.”
With a flash, Lu Xuan had two hot Spirit Fruits in his hands;the heat permeated his skin, and a rich and fragrant aroma filled his nostrils.

Next appeared two White Light Groups.
The Light Groups floated where the Spirit Fruits had originally been, flickering slightly as if beckoning Lu Xuan to touch them.
With anticipation in his eyes, Lu Xuan gently touched the nearest Light Group.
In that instant, the Light Group silently shattered, transforming into countless fine light particles that soared into the sky, instantly condensing into a narrow river of light that entered Lu Xuan’s body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested one Fifth Rank Red Flaming Pear and obtained a Sixth Grade Treasure Item, Outer Heaven Flame Essence.]
The thought disappeared, and a peculiar flame appeared before Lu Xuan.
The flame burned quietly, the light flickering, as if it harbored a Low Rank Spirit Thought in its depths, joyously controlling the flame.
Lu Xuan focused his spirit on the flame, immediately learning detailed information about it.
[Outer Heaven Flame Essence, a sixth grade treasure item, gathered from the spirits of strange fires in the Void, refined with a certain degree of Spiritual Nature. It can assist in Alchemy and slightly increase the success rate and quality of Spirit Pills.]
[If enslaved for too long, it may become vicious and could backfire on its master, turning him to ash, and needs to be suppressed by absolute Spiritual Power and Spiritual Sense.]
“Sixth Grade Treasure Item, Outer Heaven Flame Essence, can assist in Alchemy.”
“To put it simply, it’s a cluster of fire that will work hard for a while but doesn’t like to keep doing so.”
Lu Xuan briefly commented.
His Pill Room already had a Medicinal Pangolin for absorbing Pill Toxin, and now with this source of superior Pill Fire, he had more confidence in Alchemy.
The Outer Heaven Flame Essence only had rudimentary Spiritual Nature, not enough to be considered a creature, and could be put to use after a simple ritual.
Lu Xuan turned his attention to the second White Light Group.
He reached out and lightly touched it, and the Light Group silently shattered.
[Harvested one Fifth Rank Red Flaming Pear, obtained a Sixth Grade Magical Artifact, part one of twelve of the Qian Yuan Fire Cloud Needle.]
The thought disappeared, and a fiery red needle less than three inches long appeared before Lu Xuan, turning into a red line that flew around him at high speed.
Lu Xuan’s spirit focused on the needle, immediately learning detailed information about it.
[Qian Yuan Fire Cloud Needle, a Fifth Grade Magical Artifact. Twelve pieces combined can form a Sixth Rank complete set Magical Artifact. Extremely fast, subtly malicious, lethal, invisible, and virtually impossible to defend against.]
“Qian Yuan Fire Cloud Needle, a sixth-grade complete set magical instrument!”
“And it’s a highly rare Flying Needle Magical Instrument in the Cultivation World.”
Lu Xuan rejoiced inwardly.
Complete set magical instruments were of immense value in the Cultivation World. Twelve Flying Needles combined into a Sixth Grade Magical Artifact were superb, an essential for stealth attacks, and potentially a trump card for most Core Formation “Cultivators.”
“Too bad I already have the Seventh Grade Yin Yang Origin Magnetism Divine Needle. Reluctantly, I’ll have to part with this and find an opportunity to sell it for a good price.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
