Chapter 200 – Tiny is Cute Too
“There!”
“I don’t have a deep and thorough enough understanding of the Four Seasons Sword Technique to cultivate it, but don’t I have one of the best tools in my hands?”
“The Nurturing Xuan Sword Scabbard, which can temper sword qi and enhance its power, then I can completely strike the corresponding sword qi of the Four Seasons Sword Technique into the scabbard, and after warming and purifying it for a short period of time, I will release it to nourish and stimulate the Sword Grass.”
“In this way, the sword qi will be elevated from clumsy to above average, it will just take slightly more time, however, preparing in advance and staggering the cultivation time will be fine.”
Lu Xuan thought excitedly as he looked aside at the ancient scabbard that tightly wrapped the Red Flame Sword.
The Four Seasons Sword Technique had four types of basic sword qi, and he planned to nourish and cultivate two sword grasses for each type of sword qi, depending on the nature of the sword qi.
The Spring Rain Sword Qi was continuous and unending, suitable for planting next to a small lake that was full of spiritual energy.
The summer sword qi was violent and frenzied, so he could use the Ground Leader Technique to build a suitable spiritual field on the magma river born from the earth fire branch and plant two sword grass spiritual seeds.
As for the two types of sword qi, Autumn Wind and Winter Snow, the former could be planted at the entrance of the Black Wind Cave, while the latter could be planted inside the stone cave.
With the nourishing stimulation of the different sword qi, try to provide a similar aura environment for the sword grass spirit seeds, so that they would complement each other and grow faster.
With this, there were still two of the ten Sword Grass Spirit Seeds left.
Just as Lu Xuan was hesitating on what to do with them, his eyes swept over the Nurturing Xuan Sword Scabbard and he had a sudden thought.
“Why must we stimulate improvement after planting? It’s entirely possible to induce a mutation in the spirit seed stage.”
“When I improved the Spirit Glow Grass before, the probability of obtaining a mutated spirit plant after induction at the spirit seed stage was far greater than stimulating change at the spirit plant stage.”
“By the same token, inducing at the Sword Grass Spirit Seed Stage will probably also boost the probability of the Sword Grass mutating, only that the cost will be the complete loss of the Sword Grass Spirit Seed, unlike at the Spirit Plant Stage, where there’s still room to make up for it.”
“As for how to induce the stimulation of the spirit seed …… the Nurturing Xuan Sword Scabbard in front of me is a ready-made tool.”
“By placing the Swordgrass Spirit Seed into the Nurturing Xuan Sword Scabbard, will the scabbard also quench the Spirit Seed?”
“The Red Flame Sword has been inserted in the scabbard for a long time, and the scabbard has a residue of relevant sword intent within it, so it can be used to stimulate the induced Sword Grass Spirit Seed by virtue of this sword intent after it is pulled out.”
Lu Xuan did as he thought, grabbed the ancient scabbard and pulled out the Red Flame Sword with force.
Little by little, the fiery red sword body was drawn out, light fire mist seeped out from the cracks in the sword body and the scabbard, until it was finally pulled out in its entirety, with several drops of fiery red spirit liquid remaining on the tip of the sword.
The scabbard trembled slightly, trying to adapt to the state of the Red Flame Sword after it was drawn out.
“The Red Flame Sword has been stuck in the scabbard for a while this time, and the marks left inside the scabbard are a bit heavy.”
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense probed into the inner wall of the scabbard and detected that it was overflowing with a rich fire aura, intense and fiery.
He pinched a slender sword-like Spirit Seed and inserted it into the crack of the Nurturing Xuan Sword Scabbard.
Perhaps it was because the Red Flame Sword held the scabbard wide open, the Swordgrass Spirit Seed slid into the interior of the scabbard at once.
The scabbard that was not adapted to the insertion of the sword weapon wanted to reject it, but before he could feel anything, the spirit seed had already entered it.
The Nurturing Xuan scabbard that was originally trembling slightly instantly calmed down, resting vertically in the low air and trembling, seemingly provoking Lu Xuan.
“Just this?”
“Uh…… tiny is also cute.”
Lu Xuan made a perfunctory remark and looked at the arrogant ancient scabbard in front of him, deciding that the next time he got a giant sword, he would let this Raising Xuan Sword Sheath taste the feeling of cracking.
His spiritual sense entered the interior of the scabbard, sensing that the Sword Grass Spirit Seed was quietly floating in it, surrounded by a faint fire aura lingering around, slowly nourishing the Spirit Seed.
“Eight Sword Grass Spirit Seeds seeking stability, stimulate the cultivation of two with each of the four basic sword techniques to ensure the maturity of the Sword Grass while obtaining the premise of the light cluster, slowly stimulate the Sword Grass to mutate.”
“For the remaining two spirit seeds, one is quenched with the sword intent left behind by the Red Flame Sword, along with the Nurturing Xuan Sword Scabbard, and the other is induced by the Sundown Thunder Sword Pill in the dantian in conjunction with the scabbard. This way, the possibility of mutation is higher, but once it fails, it is reduced to a waste seed and has to be discarded.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly.
In the next few days, he planted each of the eight Sword Grass Spirit Seeds in various parts of the mountain peak, occasionally inspecting the Spirit Seed that had been left in the scabbard.
Of course, every day, he still had to spend a lot of spiritual energy and time on cultivating the other spirit plants.
The days were simple and plentiful, but as long as he thought of the various rewards that he would be able to obtain from the Light Corps once the spirit plants matured, the busy Lu Xuan had a few moments of hope in his heart.
On this day, while he was carefully cultivating the spirit plants, at the foot of the mountain, there came a clear chirping sound.
The direction from which the chirp came from was the grass nest that the Grass Puppet had built to facilitate the hatching of the Wind Falcon’s young eggs.
“Can’t it be that the Off-Fire Jiao Long egg is about to hatch out?”
This thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind as his figure swept through the forest like floating light, and after a few moments, he arrived in front of the Wind Falcon hatchling’s egg hatching grass nest.
When the Wind Falcon saw Lu Xuan’s appearance, it was originally in a tense state and quickly relaxed.
Underneath its rounded belly, on the pale red eggshell, there were more and more dense patterns, forming various fiery red patterns.
A clicking sound as thin as a mosquito came one after another, and Lu Xuan fixed his eyes on the subtle patterns, and gradually cracks spread out.
The sound grew louder and more frequent, and the cracks on top of the eggshell grew more and more.
“Aang~”
With a tender dragon roar, the eggshell shattered apart with a crash, leaving only pieces all over the ground.
A fiery red juvenile auger dragon was revealed.
The young scaly dragon was about a foot and a half long, dripping wet, with subtle light red scales on the back and sides of its body, its eyes half-open, ignorantly observing its surroundings.
After sensing that there was nothing strange, the young scaly dragon bit into the fiery red eggshell fragments on the ground.
A piece of debris into the abdomen, with more and more pieces of eggshells swallowed, the young jiao body breath continues to rise, with the body together with the mucus gradually evaporated, the young jiao divine steed style slowly revealed.
Lu Xuan’s mind coalesced around the young Jiao, and a thought flashed through his mind.
[Departure Fire Jiao, juvenile stage, feeds on demonic beast meat, spirit fruits, has the potential to grow to a third grade Jiao Dragon.]
[Powerful physical body, capable of automatically comprehending low-grade fire techniques as its strength grows].
“Third grade spirit beast, the first time I’ve bred one of such a high grade, when I break through, I guess I can get a greater number of light clusters.”
At the beginning, he kept the red bearded carp of no grade, then the first grade iron chelonian crab, the fae cloud treading lynx, the second grade wind falcon, and then the third grade departing fire auger.
Although the Spirit Beast grades didn’t increase rapidly like Spirit Plants, they could barely keep up with Lu Xuan’s cultivation progress.
Just as he was pondering, the young Jiao ate faster and faster, and it didn’t take long for it to swallow all the pieces of the huge eggshell into its stomach.
With a milky anguished cry, it slowly squirmed to the side of the Wind Falcon’s young bird’s rounded belly.
Eyes closed, the expression of satisfaction leaning on the soft belly.
“…… This wind falcon itself is still underage, and it’s being treated as a mother by this young scaly bird?”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but hold his forehead and sigh.
The short one is also cute →_→
