I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 485: Chapter 483 Flame Soil_1

Having made the decision, due to the urgency of the situation, Lu Xuan didn’t have much time left.

He returned to the cave dwelling, made some quick preparations, and rushed to the cave where Fire Scale Child was located.

Among the cave dwelling spirit beasts, he chose both the Cloud Leopard and the Demonic Vine; one could detect traces of the Demon Envoy while the other had a strong keen sense for Spirit Seeds.

“Elder Brother Huo, I’m late.”

Fire Scale Child and two fellow disciples of the Sky Sword Sect were already waiting outside the dwelling.

“No, we just finished preparing.”

Fire Scale Child said with a laugh.

The two fellow disciples, a man and a woman, both had white hair. One was emitting a chill while the other was ice-cold, severe in expression.

“Junior Brother Lu, let me introduce these two elder brothers and sisters.”

“This is Elder Brother Xu Yong and Sister Zhou Yun Ning, both have reached the Foundation Establishment Late-term cultivation level. Both are adept in Ice System Techniques, which are ideal for dealing with the early stages of the Mutated Fire Spirit Grass,”

“Nice to meet you, Elder Brother Xu, and Sister Zhou.”

“Junior Brother Lu, we’ve heard a lot about you.”

The two nodded toward Lu Xuan.

“We should depart immediately.”

Fire Scale Child proceeded, pulling out a flat boat from his storage bag and casually tossed it to the ground.

The small boat expanded rapidly, within a split second it reached over 30 feet with a thin layer of spiritual power on its surface.

“This is my usual mode of transport, the Azure Spirit Boat, a Four-level Magical Tool, perfect for long-distance travel.”

He quickly introduced Lu Xuan and the others, leapt into the air and landed on the light blue flying boat.

Lu Xuan and the others followed one after another, each leaping onto the flying boat.

The boat ascended into the air, gaining speed and began to zip past multiple mountain peaks.

Within the span of a few breaths, they had arrived at the perimeter of the sect.

“I am deeply grateful that my brothers and sisters are going to Fire Cloud Cave where I used to live to solve the problem of the spirit plant mutation for my clanspeople.”

“Once we reach our destination, I’ll have to rely on your help.”

“Elder Brother Huo, you’re too humble. We’re just going to offer a little bit of help. The main key is Junior Brother Lu with his Spirit Plant capabilities.”

Xu Yong, with his snow-white beard and hair, showed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, while Zhou Yun Ning nodded gently in agreement.

“Elder Brother and Sister are being too modest; your icy techniques are going to be the main force.”

“Also, Elder Brother Huo, once we arrive at Fire Cloud Cave, you’ll have to display your hospitality.”

Lu Xuan said with a light laugh.

“Of course, Fire Cloud Cave does have some decent specialties. I’ll have my brothers and sisters taste them.”

Fire Scale Child laughed heartily. The problem facing his people was about to be solved, so his mood improved significantly.

The flying boat sped through the white clouds. After a while of small talk, the four fell silent. Xu Yong closed his eyes to rest, Zhou Yun Ning began meditating, and Fire Scale Child took control of the flying boat while keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Lu Xuan stood at the back of the boat with his hand hidden in his sleeve, lightly stroking a talisman.

The talisman was a gift from True Man Qingxu, named the Thousand Hills Talisman, of fifth rank. It had a strong protective effect that could endure for quite a while under the hands of Golden Core Real People.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened throughout the journey. Half a day later, the flying boat arrived in a lofty mountain range.

After winding their way through the mountains, they entered a red mountain standing several thousand feet high.

The upper half of the mountain was covered with a thick layer of black-red volcanic ash, occasionally interrupted by flowing red-hot lava.

The flying boat entered a bottomless rocky crevasse.

“This is Fire Cloud Cave. Many years ago, it was a secret land of my Sect. After the resources inside were almost depleted, it was bestowed to my clan. It just so happens that we could make good use of some of the remaining treasures in the secret land.”

Fire Scale Child was introducing Lu Xuan and the others

He had a good knowledge of the area, easily passing through several formation restrictions, and led them deep into the underworld.

“We’ve arrived.”

“Scale Child, you’re finally here!”

As soon as the flying ship landed, several people flew over from a distance. The man leading them was tall and exuded an intense heat. He was at the middle stage of his Foundation Establishment.

“Hello, Uncle Huo Zhen.”

“This is one of my elders, his name is Huo Zhen, he is currently the clan leader of the Fire Cloud Hole.”

“These people are my fellow sect, this is Xu Yong, this is Zhou Yun Ning.”

“This is Lu Xuan, the most formidable Spirit Plant Master in the Sky Sword Sect. The mutated Fire Spirit Mushroom that was delivered to the sect was discovered to have a problem by Junior Brother Lu, who then found a solution.”

Fire Scale Child introduced both sides to one another. When he mentioned Lu Xuan, he especially highlighted the crucial role Lu Xuan had played in this event.

“Nice to meet you, Friend Lu. We’re counting on you and the help of your friends this time.”

Huo Zhen firmly held Lu Xuan’s hands, a warm smile on his face.

At first, seeing that Lu Xuan had the lowest cultivation among them, he didn’t pay him much attention. But after hearing what Fire Scale Child said, he turned much more enthusiastic.

In fact, Lu Xuan felt a burning intention in his grip.

“Fire Clan Leader, you’re too kind. This is our duty.”

Lu Xuan laughed, pulling his hands free.

“Please, my friends, come in. I have set up a banquet in your honor at the house. However, the Fire Cloud Hole cannot compare to the Sky Sword Sect, and conditions are simple. We can only offer you some special products. Please forgive any lack in our hospitality.”

Huo Zhen led Lu Xuan and the others into the accommodation, his face full of smiles.

The underworld was full of red rock, and the air was filled with a sulphur-like aroma. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sounds of lava flowing behind the stone walls.

The residence of Fire Scale Child’s tribe was built in such an environment. Along the way, Lu Xuan could see houses built from red boulders, from which came both glaring and hidden gazes.

“Clan Head Huo Zhen, the anomalous spiritual plant needs urgent attention. Why don’t we visit the spiritual field first so we can get an idea of the situation.”

“We can delay the banquet until after we’ve resolved this issue.”

Lu Xuan spoke up.

“Is that appropriate?”

Huo Zhen turned to look at Fire Scale Child. He might be the leader of a clan in the Fire Cloud Hole and Fire Scale Child’s uncle, but Fire Scale Child was a disciple of the authentic teachings of the Sky Sword Sect. His status was far beyond Huo Zhen’s, so large and small matters still fell to him.

“Let’s follow Junior Brother Lu’s suggestion.”

Fire Scale Child readily agreed to the proposal. Xu Yong and the others naturally had no objections.

“Please follow me.”

Huo Zhen’s invitation to dine was just to offer hospitality as a host. But in reality, he was extremely anxious and hoped to solve the problem of the anomalous spiritual plant as soon as possible.

After a while navigating through the fire-red cave, they came to a spirit field.

Lu Xuan’s attention was drawn to the spirit soil in the field.

The spirit soil was a pale red and columns of black smoke rose from it from time to time. From afar, it emanated a dry and hot aura.

“This is a type of special spirit soil called Flame Soil, found in the Fire Cloud Hole. It contains a rich fire spiritual aura that is harmless, and is rarely seen in other parts of the Cultivation World.”

“For fire-element spiritual plants, Flame Soil can promote their growth to some extent.”

Seeing Lu Xuan noticing the pale-red spirit soil in the field, Huo Zhen took the initiative to explain.

“The world is indeed vast and full of wonders.”

Lu Xuan exclaimed in admiration.
