I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 578: Chapter 576: Earth Puppet Spirit_1

Spirit fruits from the same spirit plant often have subtle quality differences, which is quite normal. After all, many factors influence the quality of a spirit fruit. Lu Xuan can only do his best. What kind of spirit fruit he will get depends on the spirit plant itself.

For him, the higher the quality of the spirit fruit, the better. That means the rewards that appear in the light cluster could be even richer.

After the Spirit Date was picked, a white light cluster quietly appeared at the spot where it had grown, flickering slightly.

Lu Xuan gently touched the surface of the light cluster. The light cluster exploded silently, numerous fine light particles coalesced into a white phantom figure, which in an instant sank into Lu Xuan’s fingertip.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested a fourth-grade Emperor Date, obtained a Fifth Rank Treasure, Earth Puppet Spirit (Remnant).]

“Earth Puppet Spirit? And it’s a remnant?”

Lu Xuan was surprised when a lump of yellow mud appeared before him.

The yellow mud, though inconspicuous, emitted a strong earthy spiritual aroma. In front of Lu Xuan, it constantly changed shapes, all of them fragmentary human forms missing much of their bodies.

The fragmentary human form seemed unable to maintain its current shape, and quickly transformed back into an uneven mound of yellow mud.

A hint of curiosity arose in Lu Xuan’s heart, focusing on the bizarre yellow mud in front of him.

Immediately, information about this fragment of Earth Puppet Spirit appeared in his mind.

[Earth Puppet spirit, (1/5), a part of the Earth Spirit Doll made of earth. It contains a pure sense of earth spirit energy. Once collected completely, it can form a complete Earth Spirit Doll with extremely strong protective capabilities.]

“Heh, another composite treasure. Quite rare.”

Unable to help smiling, Lu Xuan looked at the suddenly changing yellow mud in his hand and thought.

His thoughts traveled back to the time at Linyang Market.

At that time, he got his first composite magic artifact, the Slivered Silver Blade, from a first-grade Moon Erosion Fruit. It took a long time to collect all the pieces and complete it.

As he recalls, that artifact was very cool, but its rank was too low, and it has been sitting unattended in a corner of his storage bag for years.

“Isn’t it just assembling an Earth Spirit Doll?”

“It requires a total of five pieces of Earth Puppet Spirit and eight Emperor Dates. With a 50% chance, it’s a sure thing.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

A few days later, he came back in front of the Emperor Date tree and found two fully matured spirit dates.

“Give me two consecutive Earth Puppet Spirits!”

After picking the two spirit dates, he prayed softly at the two white light clusters quietly appearing on the plant.

Gently brushing his hand over the surface of the light cluster, the two light clusters exploded almost simultaneously, transforming into countless tiny light particles that surged into Lu Xuan’s body.

[Harvested a fourth-grade Emperor Date, obtained two fourth-grade Elixirs, Earth Element Pills.]

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and two deep yellow rounded elixirs appeared in the palm of Lu Xuan’s hand.

The elixirs were round and plump. Many elixir patterns moved on their surface, like a connected cluster of mountains. A faint yellow spiritual light emerged, emitting a rich earth spiritual aroma.

The moment Lu Xuan focused on the elixir, he instantly knew detailed information about the fourth-grade Earth Element Pill.

[Earth Element Pill, fourth-grade elixir, contains rich earth spiritual power. When taken, it can enhance the earth spiritual power within the body and accelerate the cultivation speed of the earth cultivation technique and divine skills.]

“It may not have much use in most people’s eyes, but to those who practice certain special cultivation techniques, its effect might be no less than a fifth-grade treasure.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

“There are six more spirit dates. Well, there should be no problem.”

He optimistically thought, having full confidence in the light group.

Over the next few days, two more Emperor Dates matured one after the other.

The rewards from the two white light clusters were not bad: a fourth-grade treasure called the Orb of Earth Movement, and a fourth-grade elixir, the Earth Element Pill.

Unfortunately, neither of them was the Earth Puppet Spirit that Lu Xuan urgently needed.

“I have four more chances.”

Lu Xuan glanced at the Spirit Ziziphus fruticosa on the tree, the progression bars of the four dates were slightly different in sequence, and he gritted his teeth.

The faint blue light cluster in his Dantian rotated slightly, and a strand of Qingmu Origin Energy surged from his fingertips.

“Let’s just mature them all and know the result sooner!”

He’s like a gambler at the table now, only thinking about winning his money back, and no longer cared about the small amount of remaining Qingmu Origin Energy.

The four Spiritual Dates were put into his storage bag. He touched the surface of the light point with one hand. Countless tiny light points condensed into four strange light rivers, like part of the body, merging with Lu Xuan’s four limbs.

“Let me win!”

Four thoughts simultaneously emerged in his mind at almost the same time.

[Harvested a fourth-grade Earth Emperor Jujubes, gained Fifth-grade precious object Earth Puppet Spirit (Remnant).*4]

The information represented by the four thoughts was exactly the same, and at a glance, you might think they had merged into one.

As the thoughts flashed, four clusters of yellow mud appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The yellow mud kept changing, combining into various strange shapes.

Lu Xuan took out the first remnant of Earth Puppet Spirit he had previously obtained, and put it together with the other four clusters.

In an instant, the five Earth Puppet Spirits seemed to have a special induction with each other, slowly squirming towards each other, and finally merged into one, inseparable.

A small earth-yellow puppet appeared in front of Lu Xuan. The puppet’s likeness was lifelike, vibrant, as if it had a simple spiritual nature.

Lu Xuan focused his spiritual sense on this earth-yellow small puppet and immediately learned about its detailed information.

[Earth Spirit Doll, Fifth rank treasure, made from the fusion of Earth and Earth Puppet Spirit, possessing a large amount of pure Earth-moving spiritual power, can guard its owner after cultivation.]

[When the holder encounters a fatal attack, the Earth Spirit Doll will quickly turn into a huge Earth Golem and protect the body of the owner, preventing the holder from being injured.]

[The Earth Spirit Doll has exceptionally strong defensive abilities, and can withstand most attacks from fifth-grade magical artifacts.]

[The specific form can change according to the mind of the holder.]

“A fifth rank puppet I can shape at will?”

A strong sense of curiosity welled up in Lu Xuan’s heart. He dripped a drop of essence blood from his left forefinger into the body of the earth-yellow small puppet.

After the spiritual ritually cultivated it, he felt as though there was a mysterious connection between him and the small puppet.

With a move of his mind, the Earth Golem in front of him underwent slight changes.

The shoulder on one side was slightly raised and shaking constantly. A few strands of long hair appeared on the head, combed in a middle parting. The back showed traces of slack straps, and there was a bit of coolness in the laziness.

“Earth Puppet Spirit, in short, is Earth Spirit.”

“You will maintain this form from now on. If I encounter any danger, it will be you, the best lump of an earth spirit, who will protect me.”

Lu Xuan looked at the small earth-yellow puppet in his hand that resembled an old friend, and silently sighed with emotions.

“With this Earth Spirit Doll, my defense has greatly increased.”

“Before, when I encountered any danger, I would either use Qing Helved Shoes, combined with the escape technique to flee as quickly as possible. Alternatively, I would rely on a powerful body to resist. The Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe’s protective power is more focused on the divine soul.”

“I’ve never had a powerful treasure that can protect the flesh body. Now, this Earth Spirit Doll effectively makes up for that, significantly enhancing my defensive power.”

He looked at the little Earth Spirit Doll in his hand and couldn’t bear to part with it.

After the Spirit Doll was ritually cultivated, it seemed to resonate with Lu Xuan’s mind. The shoulders kept shaking, and the hair fluttered.
