Chapter 10 – Split Silver Blade
Chapter 10 Cracking Silver Blade
The monthly rent for the courtyard spirit field is five spirit stones, payable once every six months, and it is already less than a month until the next time.
He was about to spend a large portion of the Spirit Stones in his hand, and as several of the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field were still some time away from maturity, Lu Xuan decided that it would be better to save up for a rainy day.
The spirit field had already been maximized, even if he had enough spirit stones in his hand, there was no place to plant the new spirit seeds he had bought, so he had no choice but to return home with more than fifty spirit stones.
After returning home, he closed the courtyard door tightly, almost isolating himself from the outside world, and focused on cultivating the spirit plants.
Several days passed, and the silver-white fruits on the two Eclipse Trees became more and more round and full, like a full moon, hanging from the trees.
It looked like it was about to enter the ripening stage.
Lu Xuan took the time to count, there were about forty-two Eclipse Fruits on the trees.
According to the purchase price he understood, each Eclipse Moon Fruit was around one Spirit Stone, with not much fluctuation up and down.
It was just that due to his careful cultivation over this period of time, the quality of the dozens of Eclipse Moon Fruits were not bad, Lu Xuan estimated that most of them were of good quality, and a few of them were of superior quality.
“Little Uncle Lu, Little Uncle Lu, are you home?”
One day, a familiar childish voice came from outside the courtyard door.
Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door, and a child around seven years old with a tiger’s head drilled in through the doorway, looking at his facial features and appearance, he bore a seven to eight percent resemblance to Zhang Hong, who had gone to explore the wilderness before.
It was Zhang Hong’s child, named Zhang Xiuyuan, who came over to him from time to time due to the small age gap with Lu Xuan.
“I thought you weren’t at home! I haven’t seen you for ages with the door closed every day!”
Zhang Xiuyuan muttered, jumping up and down as he came to the grass puppet and hugged it.
“Little Grass, long time no see, missed me to death!”
The grass puppet was strangled tightly by him, sensing that outsiders were coming in the courtyard, it still stretched out a gray grass rope towards Lu Xuan, doing its duty of guarding the spirit field.
“Okay, okay, anymore hugging your little buddy’s head is going to fall off.”
Lu Xuan looked at the gray grass tumor on the grass puppet’s head that was about to fall off, smiled and said to the extraordinarily enthusiastic Zhang Xiuyuan.
The two returned to the house.
Zhang Xiuyuan sat paralyzed on a wooden chair, staring blankly at the spiritual plants in the courtyard.
“It’s still comfortable here with you, Uncle Xiao Lu, you don’t need to cultivate your gongfu and learn about all kinds of spirit medicine and spirit mine knowledge.”
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded, as if he had seen the children around him in his previous life who were worried about their studies.
“By the way, your father has been out for so long, have you heard from him?”
He asked Zhang Xiuyuan.
“Where is it so fast, the journey alone takes half a month!”
“However, my father is so powerful, he will definitely be able to kill many, many demonic beasts and bring back many, many treasures for me.”
Zhang Xiuyuan said with longing in his eyes, in the teenager’s heart, his father’s figure was always extraordinarily tall, as if he was able to block all the winds and waves.
Lu Xuan nodded and chatted with the child for a few more moments before coming to the spirit field to check the growth of the spirit plants.
In the spirit field, whether it was the progress bar, the instant status, or the white light ball that appeared after maturity, Lu Xuan was the only one who could see it, so he wasn’t worried about Zhang Xiuyuan being able to detect any abnormalities in the spirit field.
“Little Uncle Lu, I see that you are so busy in the spirit field, do you want me to help?”
Zhang Xiuyuan rested for a while, and seeing that Lu Xuan had been busy, he rolled up his sleeves and walked over to Lu Xuan.
“Hey hey hey, don’t move, I can do it alone.”
Lu Xuan hurriedly made a sound to stop him, jokingly, one of the factors that affected the rewards of the light cluster was his own participation in the planting process.
If it was because of Xiao Yuan’s help that the rewards of the Light Cluster were affected, then it would not be worth it.
“Hmph, I don’t want to help when my mother usually wants me to!”
Xiao Yuan’s face was a little unsettled by Lu Xuan’s rejection, and with both fists wrapped around his chest, he snorted coldly.
“How many weeks of gongfu cultivation have you done today? Can you memorize all the common spirit medicine and spirit minerals?”
Lu Xuan asked out loud when he saw that the child was stuck in the spirit field with no intention of leaving. With every question, the look on Zhang Xiuyuan’s face became a few points heavier, and when Lu Xuan finished, he waved his hand fiercely and ran out.
“I’m never coming to play with you again!”
“Hahaha!”
Lu Xuan laughed mercilessly.
He didn’t try to coax, knowing very well that a child’s temperament came and went quickly, and it wouldn’t take more than a few days of effort before he would come over to play with himself.
The next three days, Zhang Xiuyuan really did not come over to the yard, Lu Xuan also comfortable, every day cultivating Spirit Glow Grass, Red Cloud Pine, watching the Eclipse Fruit step by step ripe.
Finally, with his mind condensed, Lu Xuan understood that the four Eclipse Fruits were fully ripe.
The four Eclipse Fruits are all of good quality, not in vain of his careful care during this period of time.
He carefully picked them and placed them into a special container.
Immediately afterward, his gaze was attracted by the four white light clusters suspended on the Eclipse Tree.
On the light clusters, dots of white light flickered.
Lu Xuan absorbed the first one, and a thought flashed by.
“Harvesting one Eclipse Fruit, obtaining a First Grade Artifact Split Silver Blade (Remnant).”
A slender thing appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.
“A first-rate magic weapon!”
Lu Xuan was abruptly startled as he scrutinized the thing in his hand.
An elongated sheet, finger-thin, irregular in shape, with a cold sensation coming from the place it touched, and the edges looked extremely sharp.
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense controlled the slender slice, and his mind moved.
The thin slice transformed into an invisible silver light, deeply rooted into the stone wall.
“Amazingly powerful, worthy of being a first-grade magic weapon, but what does this ‘residual’ mean?”
“This magic weapon is incomplete? But it seems like it feels quite powerful when used ……”
Puzzled in his mind, Lu Xuan looked towards the remaining three white light masses.
“Harvesting one Eclipse Fruit, obtaining a Grade 1 Magical Artifact Split Silver Blade (Remnant).”
“Harvest one Eclipse Fruit and obtain a First Grade Talisman Purification Talisman.”
“Harvest one Eclipse Fruit and obtain a first-grade magic weapon Split Silver Blade (Remnant).”
The Purification Talisman could keep the cultivator’s mind in a clear state for a long time, and not be confused by evil spirits, making it a good auxiliary talisman.
As for the other two white light masses ……
Lu Xuan looked at the three silver-white flakes in his hand and froze for a moment.
The three flakes were all different in shape, but the common thing was that they were all extremely sharp and did not tarnish the reputation of the so-called first-grade magic weapon.
Moreover, Lu Xuan also accidentally realized that he could actually drive these three Split Silver Blade fragments at the same time.
Logically speaking, with his current Spiritual Awareness at the third level of Qi Practicing cultivation, it would be extremely difficult for him to control three first-rate magic weapons at the same time.
“Could it be that these three irregular flakes came from the same magic weapon, and that the only way to complete the Split Silver Blade is to wait for all the flakes to merge together?”
Lu Xuan compared the edges of the thin flakes, feeling more and more that this guess was close to reality.
“I just don’t know how many thin slices are needed for the complete Split Silver Blade to be put together successfully.”
“Now I can only hope that the remaining thirty-eight Eclipse Fruits will be able to open up as many Split Silver Blade flakes as possible.”
“Even though the remnants are quite good to use, but who would want a broken one when there’s a complete one?”
Lu Xuan thought in a daze as he looked at the Eclipse Moon Fruit hanging on the Eclipse Moon Tree like a jade disk.
