Background / History
Lu Xuan's first Spirit Field was a rented plot in a small Vast Forest Market courtyard. It contained twenty to thirty First-Order Spirit Firefly Grass plants and two First-Order Eclipse Moon Trees, but its limited capacity and recurring rent quickly constrained his farming. His first harvest of Spirit Firefly Grass there produced a White Light Orb and three months of cultivation, establishing the field as the foundation of his rise. 1 10
When the original plot became full, Lu Xuan moved his living Spirit Plants together with their Spirit Soil into a larger rented courtyard, since Storage Bags could not safely hold them. The new field was over one mu, had richer spiritual energy, and included a Spirit Spring; it was roughly ten times larger than his previous plot. 22 23 25
As Lu Xuan's cultivation and reputation grew, his Spirit Fields expanded from market courtyards into Sword Gate Town, Heaven Sword Sect mountain peaks, Voidsky Island, Thunder Fire Star Cave, Fengyuan Star Cave, and eventually his Personal Space. Each site was adjusted for specific plant requirements, including sword qi, Earth Fire, thunder aura, pure spiritual energy, and Yin energy. 128 187 290 572 664 1300
Documented Fields
| Location | Condition and scale | Notable use |
|---|---|---|
| Vast Forest Market courtyard | A small stone-walled courtyard with gray-black soil; initially held Spirit Firefly Grass and two Eclipse Moon Trees. Its monthly rent was five Spirit Stones. 1 10 | Lu Xuan's first farming site and the place where he discovered White Light Orb harvest rewards. 1 |

Cultivation Infrastructure
Spirit Soil and Environmental Zoning
Lu Xuan divides his fields according to the needs and compatibility of each Spirit Plant. The Second-Grade Sword Grass, for example, requires a large area to itself because its sword intent prevents nearby plants from growing properly, while Dark Marrow Mushroom is cultivated in shadow beside rotting Spirit Wood. 26
- Wu Spirit Soil — Used for Spirit Plants such as Hidden Essence Grass and supports vigorous growth through dense spiritual energy. 280 555
- Flame Soil and Earth Fire — Supports fire-attribute plants, including Earth Fire Heart Lotus, Phoenix Wood, and Yuan Yang Wood. 235 484 723
- Thunder-attribute terrain — Prepared with thunder aura and silver-white sand and stones for Flying Thunder Ganoderma. 664
- Yin-attribute Spirit Soil — Used for Netherworld and evil-path plants requiring Yin qi, flesh, souls, or other unusual nourishment. 758 1332
- Dragon-attribute ground — Formed around the buried Azure Dragon Corpse and nourished with Dragon Qi for Dragon-aligned cultivation. 1248
Spirit Spring and Irrigation
The expanded Vast Forest Market field contained a Spirit Spring whose water held weak spiritual energy. It could be used for brewing, tea, alchemy, artifact refining, or sustaining Spirit Beasts such as Red-Whiskered Carp. 22 26
Lu Xuan regularly uses the Spirit Rain Technique to nourish plants and the Earth Guidance Art to alter soil structure, regulate spacing, and prepare precisely sized planting cracks. 1 4 7
Protection
The fields are defended through formations and guardians rather than left exposed.
- Lu Xuan installed a Protective Array in his early courtyard after concerns over attacks and theft. 7
- He later replaced the basic courtyard formation with a Second-Grade Mist Concealing Formation. 60
- The Grass Puppet patrols the ridges and furrows of the Spirit Field, warning Lu Xuan of intruders and serving as its dedicated guard. 42 55
- The Flowing Light Rune Array protects Lu Xuan's mountain peak and Cave Mansion. 197 345

Trivia

- He once imagined possessing “ten million qing of Spirit Fields” to cultivate the world's Spirit Plants. 572
- By the time his Personal Space became a miniature Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, it contained more high-grade Spirit Plants than many ordinary Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands. 1300
