You Cultivate, I Farm

The plump bird uttered a low, lethargic chirp, sounding subdued.

"It seems you're still as unpopular with your peers as yesterday."

"Do you know why you're in this situation?"

The plump bird shook its little head, indicating it didn't understand.

"To win the favor of the bird you adore, you must be outstanding yourself to attract its attention."

"Your bloodline is inferior to its, and although your strength is comparable, it's the result of numerous spiritual fruits you've consumed, giving you limited potential, not like those of exotic spiritual beasts."

"As for appearance, though in my eyes you're the most adorable, in the eyes of your kin, the view might be quite different. The reason it's attracted to you is primarily due to its graceful and beautiful form. Am I right?"

Lu Xuan asked the plump bird softly.

The bird nodded continuously, like a chick pecking at grains.

"Such as background. Hmm, the masters behind both of you are mid-Foundation Establishment inner sect disciples, seeming quite similar."

Lu Xuan wished to tell the Wind Falcon that he had formed good relations with even true disciples and Core Formation True Immortals, but those were too abstract to bolster the plump bird's confidence directly.

"The last point, which cannot be ignored, is financial power."

"Though you don't have spirit stones, you have a lot of spiritual fruits. Your kind doesn't treat second-grade spiritual fruits as snacks and enjoy third-grade spiritual fruits and spirit juice every now and then, like you do."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Is that so?"

The plump bird's eyes were filled with confusion. Having lived in the cave dwelling since birth, it was naïve and had never considered what the regular consumption of spiritual fruits signified.

"For you spiritual beasts, possessing spiritual fruits means you can do whatever you want."

Lu Xuan stated with certainty.

"If you don't believe me, take some spiritual fruits out tomorrow, and see what attitude that azure-haired Wind Falcon has towards you."

After explaining the reasoning thoroughly to the plump bird without paying further attention to its contemplation, he returned inside, took out a number of spiritual fruits, and sliced them into even strips.

The next day, he specifically found a shallow bag, hung it around the plump bird's neck, gently patted its little head, and squeezed its soft belly along the way.

"Go on, let them witness the power of spiritual fruits."

"Chirp!"

The plump bird let out a long cry, transforming into a streak of azure light, flying at high speed towards the valley it had visited before.

It soon arrived at the edge of the valley.

With many slices of spiritual fruit hanging from its neck and the thorough guidance received from Lu Xuan the day before, the plump bird appeared much more confident.

Lifting its head and puffing out its round belly, it approached the exotic Wind Falcon it had taken a liking to before.

The exotic Wind Falcon lifted its head, glanced at the plump bird, and continued frolicking with its companions.

"Chirp!"

The plump bird, accustomed to this, greeted a few Wind Falcons, played around the fringes for a while, then casually lifted a foot, taking out a piece of spiritual fruit from the bag around its neck.

The spiritual fruit, like blazing flames, emitted a rich spiritual power, evidently of superior quality at first glance.

Several Wind Falcons nearby, attracted by the sweet fragrance of the spiritual fruit, lifted their heads and looked towards the plump bird.

The extraordinary exotic Wind Falcon also brightened its eyes, focusing on the Flame Fruit tightly held by the plump bird.

The plump bird casually threw the fruit into its mouth, swallowing it after a few gulps, with the fruit sliding into its stomach.

It didn't stop there but took out another piece of light blue spiritual fruit, emitting a slight cold aura.

The fusion of ice and fire spiritual powers in its throat and belly made it involuntarily reveal a look of intoxication.

Several Wind Falcons unconsciously gathered around, looking at the bag hanging from the plump bird's neck with eyes full of desire.

Since they were all domesticated, despite their extreme craving for spiritual fruits, they did not unleash their animal instincts to snatch the spiritual fruits from the plump bird.

Seeing itself become the center of attention among its peers, a flicker of joy crossed the plump bird's eyes. It then took out a piece of Enchanting Spirit Peach.

The almost squeezably soft Enchanting Spirit Peach immediately unsettled the surrounding Wind Falcons.

This was a third-grade spiritual fruit!

Even the inner sect disciples raising them could not afford to enjoy third-grade spiritual fruits as snacks.

What virtues and abilities did this plump peer of theirs possess...

A similar thought crossed the minds of several Wind Falcons.

The exotic Wind Falcon was utterly

subdued by the plump bird.

Initially, although it had noticed the plump bird's overtures, it hadn't taken them seriously due to the plump bird's physique, sometimes even deliberately ignoring it.

Unexpectedly, this peer turned out to be so wealthy!

The exotic Wind Falcon let out a crisp chirp, gently laying its broad, pale azure wings on the plump bird.

"Wealthy lady, hungry hungry, meal meal..."

In the face of immense wealth, letting this spherical peer of several hundred to a thousand pounds press down was negligible.

Lu Xuan, watching from afar, smiled slightly.

He had cleared all obstacles for the plump bird. As for how it would choose in the future, that was entirely up to it.

Whether it saw through the exotic Wind Falcon's facade and kept a distance, understood that the other party would not be its true love and was just playing around with an exotic Wind Falcon of stunning appearance and superior bloodline, or let the exotic Wind Falcon fall into an endless supply of spiritual fruits, it was all up to the plump bird's fate.

On the other side of the valley, the honest-looking young man, seeing the plump bird swallowing piece after piece of third-grade Enchanting Spirit Peaches, wished he could transform into an exotic Wind Falcon to beg for some spiritual fruits from its claws.

He had already decided in his heart to make the exotic Wind Falcon do its best to please the plump peer in the future, even if it meant bearing some grievances.

Meanwhile, Lu Xuan, seeing everything going smoothly without any anomalies, left the mountain peak. He found a Spirit Crane to hitch a ride to the Agricultural Hall.

In the past few days, he had attempted to refine second-grade Beast Spirit Pills during his spare time, but unfortunately, there was no progress, with few successes.

Each time, the products from the pill furnace were different, but it was certain they were not the Beast Spirit Pills he desired.

Instead, the Medicine Bug hiding inside the pill furnace had its fill, its form no longer as smooth and natural as before, having overeaten.

"Alchemy is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Honestly accumulating experience in alchemy is less effective than taking shortcuts."

Recognizing his true talent for alchemy, Lu Xuan thought of a method. Recalling the detailed information on the Beast Spirit Pill recipe, he intended to find the main spiritual herbs in the recipe, cultivate them to maturity, and see if the luminous orbs could produce the Beast Spirit Pill recipe.

The Primordial Essence Pill and Spirit Nurturing Pill recipes he had previously obtained were from the luminous orbs of Water Firefly Grass and its improved version. The Foundation Establishment Pill recipe also came from the luminous orb of the Hidden Essence Grass.

Therefore, Lu Xuan was highly confident about obtaining the Beast Spirit Pill recipe from similar spiritual plant luminous orbs.

He ordered the Spirit Crane to stop at the Agricultural Hall's square, forcibly fed it a piece of spiritual fruit, and then entered the inner hall.
