Chapter 275 Not much?
Chapter 275 Not Counting …… What?!
When Shen Ye left him the ten sword grass spirit seeds, he cultivated two plants with each type of four-season sword qi, totaling eight plants, and the remaining two plants, one plant was cultivated with the Red Flame sword qi that was formed by combining the Red Flame Sword and the Nurturing Xuan Sword Scabbard, and the other improved and successful third-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Grass was cultivated with Sundown Thunder Sword Manifestation.
The Wind Thunder Swordgrass was still quite a while away from maturity, the Red Flame Swordgrass didn’t take long to fully mature, and Lu Xuan harvested a Red Flame Sword Intent from the white mass of light.
He laid the nine swordgrasses in order and decided to take them to the Sword Hall for a walk to give Shen Ye an explanation.
An hour later, Lu Xuan arrived at the location of the Sword Hall.
He stood in front of a sword formation that was vast for an unknown number of miles and waited quietly.
Spiritual Sense was unable to perceive the range of the sword formation’s envelopment, and the surface of the formation had countless fish-like sword qi swimming freely.
It seemed calm and ordinary, but once he tried to venture into the sword formation, there would be countless sword qi that would instantly cover him.
He had long ago used a summoning talisman to get in touch with Shen Ye, and before long, there was an ordinary-looking young man who came out of the sword array, with a cultivation of the early Foundation Establishment stage, and a straight figure, like a sharp sword, with a flamboyant confidence.
“Your Excellency is Master Lu, right?”
The youth’s eyes looked at Lu Xuan, and there seemed to be an invisible sword qi focused on Lu Xuan’s body.
“That’s right, it is exactly me, may I ask how to address senior brother?”
“Just call me Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Shen Ye instructed me to come out to receive you, please also follow behind me and do not overstep, otherwise the sword formation may accidentally injure you, Senior Brother.”
Lu Xuan nodded and followed the youth into the sword formation.
A huge sword qi mountain peak appeared in front of him, and there were various types of sword qi dancing wildly around the peak.
The two arrived in front of a simple courtyard.
A gentle cultivator stood quietly in front of the courtyard gate, carrying a deep black sword box on his back, his entire person was like a long sword with an internalized sword intent.
It was none other than Shen Ye, the Master of Si Nong Hall and a senior member of the Sword Hall, who had several encounters with Lu Xuan and was quite appreciative of Lu Xuan.
“Senior Brother Shen.”
Lu Xuan hurriedly saluted.
“Senior Brother Lu, long time no see.”
Shen Ye smiled gently while the young cultivator quietly retreated.
“Senior Martial Brother Lu, this time you came over, but the sword grass given to you earlier has been successfully cultivated?”
After the two of them chatted for a few moments and caught up on old times, Shen Ye asked out loud.
“Fortunately, the swordgrass spirit seed given to me by Senior Brother Shen has already been cultivated to maturity.”
“Oh? Is that so? Senior brother quickly take it out for me to see.”
After receiving Lu Xuan’s affirmative reply, a hint of curiosity appeared on Shen Ye’s face.
Lu Xuan flicked his one hand, and nine sword grasses shaped like swords flew out from his storage bag, placing them one by one in front of the two of them.
“Good quality swordgrass, if I’m not mistaken, it should be cultivated by nourishing the Summer Sword Qi from the Four Seasons Sword Skill.”
Shen Ye picked up the first sword grass, flexed his finger and shot an invisible sword qi onto the sword grass, which immediately triggered the sword grass to react violently, and numerous tyrannical and manic sword qi shot out.
“Not bad.”
Shen Ye nodded and said approvingly.
“Nine sword grasses, all of them of good quality, Master Lu you are greatly out of my expectation.”
He turned his head to Lu Xuan after inspecting the nine sword grasses in detail.
“There is quite a bit of time and energy spent on spiritual plants on weekdays, plus good luck, this is how I managed to get good quality sword grass.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“However, Senior Brother Lu, I remember that there were ten Swordgrass Spirit Seeds handed over to you at that time, and right now, the Swordgrasses are nine, but has there been a cultivation failure?”
Shen Ye once again confirmed the number of swordgrasses and asked curiously.
“Uh, the other swordgrass plant ……”
Lu Xuan paused for a moment, considering how to answer in his mind.
“There’s no harm in failing, after all, even those experienced sword cultivators in the Sword Hall can’t guarantee a success rate like yours, Senior Brother.” Shen Ye gently comforted Lu Xuan.
“No, Senior Brother Shen, that swordgrass accidentally improved successfully and became a third-grade spirit plant.” Lu Xuan whispered.
“Loss of a mere swordgrass plant.” Shen Ye subconsciously continued.
“Not counting ……”
“What?!”
His tone was steeply elevated, and his eyes were filled with incredulity.
“Senior Brother Lu you improved a Sword Grass into a Third Grade Spiritual Plant? Is that true?”
He instantly flashed in front of Lu Xuan and inquired once again.
“That’s right, judging from my many years of experience in cultivating spiritual plants, that is indeed already a new Third Grade Swordgrass.”
Lu Xuan spoke with certainty.
“Return to the mountain.”
Before Shen Ye’s words fell, a rainbow light shot out from the deep black sword box behind him, wrapping the two of them and instantly disappearing from the courtyard.
Lu Xuan was in a trance, returning to the foot of his famous mountain peak.
“Please also ask Senior Brother Lu to open the mountain guard formation and take me to see that Third Grade Swordgrass.”
Shen Ye used the remaining shred of sanity in his heart to suppress the idea of directly barging into Lu Xuan’s cave and said gently.
In front of the Wind Thunder Swordgrass.
Shen Ye closed his eyes and carefully probed every nuance of the sword grass with his spiritual sense.
A tiny sword qi surged out from his fingertip and shot onto the Wind Thunder Sword Grass sword body.
Where the sword grass was hit, hundreds of deep black tiny sword qi flew out, like a tiny hurricane that had shrunk countless times, and as the hurricane rolled by, one could vaguely see electricity flashing and thunder roaring.
“Containing the power of wind and thunder ……”
“Although it’s not clear how Senior Brother Lu cultivated it, it is indeed a Third Grade Swordgrass.”
Shen Ye’s face was grave as he confirmed, and then, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the upward movement grew larger and larger.
“Senior Brother Lu, you are truly a genius!”
“I remember when you were still a Qi practicing loose cultivator, you unintentionally obtained a sword grass spirit seed that had been left outside, and without any experience, you succeeded in cultivating it with a handful of Gungjin Sword Skills of the Patriarchal Realm.”
“After I learned about this, I estimated in my heart that you are not only an exceptionally gifted sword cultivator, but also someone who is naturally suited to cultivating sword grasses.”
“With the ten Sword Grass Spirit Seeds left behind before, the fact that you brought over nine Sword Grasses of good quality was already out of my expectations.”
“I didn’t expect, yet you managed to give me such a big surprise!”
“The first time you cultivate swordgrass on a larger scale, you were able to improve and obtain a third-grade rare swordgrass!”
“This can already be described as astonishing.”
Around the heart of the late Foundation Establishment realm, Shen Ye still could not calm down for a long time.
It wasn’t that he was jumpy by nature, but what Lu Xuan had done had completely exceeded his imagination.
Ten Swordgrass Spirit Seeds, cultivating nine mature Swordgrasses of good quality, that was already quite an outstanding result, something that many Sword Cultivators specializing in cultivating Swordgrasses in the Sword Hall could not achieve.
But Lu Xuan, not only did he easily do all of this, he was even able to improve and cultivate a third grade swordgrass!
One must know that the Heavenly Sword Sect, as its name implied, was famous for its swords throughout the cultivation world, of which the sword grass was the core foundation of the entire Sword Hall.
Many third- and fourth- and even fifth-grade sword weapons were cultivated and refined from sword grass.
During the long years of the Sword Hall, if one wanted to obtain new varieties of high-grade sword grass, one would need to go through generations of experiments and countless failures in order to improve and succeed in producing new sword grass.
Lu Xuan, on the other hand, had accomplished this journey in a short period of time with just one person!
How could he not be shocked and amazed by this?
