Chapter 182 – Yangxuan Sword Scabbard
“For those, I am not in a hurry to pursue them.”
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.
“I’ve heard that after breaking through Foundation Establishment, I can have a mountain peak all to myself, and if that’s really the case, I’ll be able to grow a much larger number and variety of Spirit Plants.”
There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
For him, it was true that arts, talismans, magic weapons, and pills were not much to be purposely pursued; planting spiritual plants and harvesting light clusters would naturally appear.
“So …… Brother Lu, you worked so hard to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in order to have a better condition for cultivating spirit plants?”
Baili Jianqing asked with a sideways glance, somewhat incredulously.
“Indeed.”
Hearing Lu Xuan’s affirmative answer, he couldn’t help but hold his forehead, his expression helpless.
After a moment of silence, Baili Jianqing was the first to speak.
“Regarding breaking through the Foundation Establishment, there are quite a few strange methods, among which, the Foundation Establishment Pill is the most common type of breakthrough, playing an unmissable role in the breakthrough process.”
“Taking the Foundation Establishment Pill and breaking through in one fell swoop with the power of the pill has the highest success rate, and the process is also extremely simple and gentle, most cultivators go through this method.”
“It’s just that, the Foundation Building Pill is firmly held in the hands of those big clan powers, only occasionally does the pill circulate to the outside world, and the Foundation Building Pill formula is even more unheard of, and is regarded as a core secret by the clan.”
“Foundation Building Dan is a third grade elixir, not particularly expensive, but generally priced without a market, it is difficult for casual cultivators to purchase through normal channels.”
Baili Jianqing slowly said.
Lu Xuan gently nodded his head, indicating that he understood, as the Clan Family held the Foundation Establishment Pill, they also controlled the promotion channels for the vast majority of the casual cultivators, if they wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, they had to join one of the Clan Family.
If you want to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, you have to join a clan family. Clan families therefore absorbed those with outstanding talent and continuously strengthened themselves.
“Once the outer disciples in a sect have accumulated enough spiritual energy in their bodies, they can apply to the sect to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.”
“The first time they break through, the sect will provide a Foundation Establishment Pill for free, if they fail, the second time they will sell it to the sect’s disciples at fifty percent of the price, and for the third time, they will need to purchase it at full price.”
“In addition to that, the sect will also give more convenient places when the disciple tries to break through, special spirit veins to temper the body and mind, foundation building seniors to protect the disciple, and so on.”
“Of course, this is only the way for ordinary disciples to break through, as for those with strong backgrounds and exceptional talent, in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, there are also all kinds of heavenly materials and treasures to assist in the breakthrough, and there will even be a JieDan realm powerhouse to personally guard the spell.”
As Baili Jianqing spoke later, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
Lu Xuan nodded his head in agreement, a JieDan realm powerhouse guarding his magic, he wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
The two chatted for a while before Baili Jianqing suddenly asked:
“Brother Lu, there is a sword fighting competition there at the Sword Fighting Lodge, there are quite a number of fellow disciples who are proficient in the Dao of the Sword who are meeting together and practicing their sword fighting skills, I am planning to go there for a while, do you want to come along to take a look?”
“Sword Fighting Lodge to compare sword arts?”
Lu Xuan’s expression flashed a hint of hesitation, after worshipping in the sect, the sect’s Foundation Establishment cultivators taught and passed on the law, the same sect cut and exchanged and so on, he seldom participated in it, and only through the Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts mission did he get to know some of the same sect’s cultivators.
“The fight is very exciting, Brother Lu you do not want to participate in the words can be on the sidelines to watch the battle.”
“Then I’ll go over with you to take a look.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile, he had little interest in fighting, watching a fight that was different.
He simply cleaned up and turned on the formation, a thick white mist covering the entire courtyard, and then, with Baili Jianqing, they each took a Spirit Crane and headed to the Sword Fighting Lodge.
The Sword Fighting Lodge was located at the top of a several hundred feet mountain peak, built from dark green boulders, which were so tough that ordinary attacks couldn’t leave traces on them.
And has a certain ability to recover, cracks, holes, etc. can be returned to normal.
Baili Jianqing brought Lu Xuan to the top of the mountain to a huge platform tens of feet in length and width, in the middle of the platform there are dozens of cultivators gathered together, there are two people are sparring with the sword, the sword qi like a rainbow, spread across the world.
“Big brother Lu you wait here, I’ll show you my style later.”
Baili Jianqing instructed Lu Xuan and confidently came to the crowd. Lu Xuan nodded and found a spot to sit down, looking at the several fighting scenes with some curiosity.
“If only there were some melon type spirit fruits, we could get high on melon seeds while watching the big show.”
He thought with some regret.
In the sect, there weren’t any large-scale sect disciple competitions, and from time to time, there would be some like-minded ones or those who had some grudges against each other that would come to the sword fighting hut to spar and fight.
Lu Xuan had always been kind to people, so naturally he had never had the opportunity to enter the Sword Fighting Lodge.
On the green stone platform, the fights were getting more and more intense, making Lu Xuan a bit dazzled, not knowing where to look.
Many of his fellow disciples did have extraordinary attainments in the sword arts together, with sword qi splitting, sword qi becoming silk, and giant sword arts that could be described as special effects blockbusters.
Lu Xuan even saw a cultivator offer a sword array, more than ten flying swords intermingled, making a thousand changes, handsome as a match.
He secretly compared it to his own Gungjin Sword Skill, although it was only a first grade, due to absorbing a large number of experience packs, his control over the sword skill was equivalent to the Grandmaster realm, even among the many sword dao geniuses on the verdant platform, he was able to enter the forefront.
If he added the third grade Sundown Thunder Sword Pill lying dormant in his dantian, then he could basically crush the entire field.
He thought to himself while watching the show properly, Baili Jianqing had notable attainments in Sword Dao, Lu Xuan had already seen him win three matches in a row and could be said to be complacent.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, he sensed a strange movement in the storage pouch at his waist, and his Spiritual Sense probed into it to find that in the corner, a sword sheath was trembling slightly.
“Why is this scabbard suddenly reacting? It’s almost forgotten about it.”
Lu Xuan said secretly in his heart, the scabbard was attracted by the Sundown Thunder Sword Pill in his dantian after the Wang Clan forced him to enter the secret realm when he was in the Lin Yang Square Market.
At that time, the Wang Family’s head and a Creepy Grade Skeleton were both after this item, and he thus deduced that the scabbard had an extraordinary origin, but unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to figure out what it was for a long time, and had been placing it in his storage pouch to eat dust.
Feeling the ancient and simple scabbard trembling more and more, Lu Xuan sent a message to Baili Jianqing, who was resting not far away, and got up to leave.
Returning to his cave, he turned on the Misty Concealment Maze Formation, causing the courtyard to be covered by white mist.
With that, he took out the mysterious sword sheath from his storage bag.
The scabbard was ancient in style and mottled, so it could be seen that it had gone through an unknown number of years.
Unfortunately, it had been empty inside, and no strange existence was found.
Lu Xuan held the scabbard in his hand and felt the body that was trembling faster and faster.
“Why is it suddenly reacting this way? When it was in the secret realm, it seemed to have been attracted by the Sundown Thunder Sword Pill inside his body ……”
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, and with a thought, several sword awns drilled out from his body, black aura entwined with sword intent, and electric arcs jumping vaguely from their blades.
The sword awns made a steep turn and drilled into the hollow gap of the scabbard.
The top of the scabbard was tilted back, and it seemed to emit a clanging sword chirp that chirped pleasantly.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan’s mind condensed on the ancient scabbard.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Nurturing Xuan Sword Scabbard, Unknown Treasure, forged from Heaven’s Beyond Swordstone, can warm sword qi in it, the longer the time, the more powerful the sword qi will be released].
[It is also possible to place a sword weapon into the scabbard, slowly quenching the body of the sword, removing impurities from the sword, and enhancing the quality and grade of the sword weapon].
[Spirituality is damaged.]
“Unknown treasure? What is it?”
Lu Xuan looked at the ancient sword sheath in his hand with a puzzled expression.
