Chapter 277: Old acquaintance
Chapter 277 – Old Acquaintance
Lu Xuan bid farewell to Shen Ye and returned to the cave with a full harvest.
Inside the house, twenty-two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds were placed on the wooden table.
At first glance, it seemed as if there were twenty tiny flying swords, and under close observation, one could still feel the difference.
The second grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds were gray-black and slender like swords.
The third-grade starlight sword grass spirit seed, the surface has a few invisible points of starlight, spiritual sense penetrated into it, as if into the wide night sky, stars flashing, starlight sharp, as if to pierce Lu Xuan spiritual sense.
The fourth grade of the sword thousand lords of the spiritual seed of a strange form, the spiritual seed spread out many tiny branches, the end of the branches, resting on dozens of different forms of rice-sized lords of the bird, no feet, the body directly into the branches, wings spread, feathers like a handle as thin as a hair of the sharp sword.
He buried the Starlight Sword Grass Spirit Seed as well as the Sword Thousand Lords Spirit Seed into the spirit soil and obtained detailed information about the two spirit plants.
[Starlight Swordgrass, Third Grade Spiritual Plant, cultivated with Starlight Sword Qi, after maturity, the grass contains subtle star power, and can be used directly or refined to produce the corresponding Third Grade Flying Sword].
[Sword Thousand Lords Sword Grass, Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant, cultivated by Thousand Lords Sword Qi stimulating warmth, after maturity, the spiritual plant can be divided into numerous sword intent shaped like ancient fierce lord birds, the sword possesses a certain degree of spirituality, and can be used as a lifelike flying sword, and sacrificed to refine a magic treasure.]
“Sword Grass is worthy of being the core machine of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Hall, whether it’s the third-grade Starlight Sword Grass or the fourth-grade Sword Thousand Lords Sword Grass, they all have their divine characteristics.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed, he was happy to see this in his heart, the more divine the Third Grade and Fourth Grade Swordgrasses were, when the cultivation matured
The more divine the third and fourth grade swordgrasses were, the more abundant the light cluster rewards he would naturally receive when they were cultivated and matured.
After realizing the divine differences of the two high-grade Swordgrass Spirit Seeds, Lu Xuan was in no hurry to plant them.
Both the Starlight Swordgrass and the Sword Thousand Lords Swordgrass required the appropriate sword qi to cultivate, so he had to have at least a cursory grasp of the two sword techniques before he could cultivate them.
He pressed the jade sketch engraved with the second grade swordgrass spirit seed condensation method against his forehead, and his spiritual sense seeped into it, and instantly, a large amount of information surged into his sea of consciousness.
The timing of condensing the Sword Grass Spirit Seed, the way to handle it, the means of harvesting the seed, the method of storing it, and so on.
Lu Xuan stood quietly for a long time before completely absorbing the information in his mind.
Afterwards, he absorbed the contents of the other two jade slips into his sea of consciousness, gaining a rough understanding of the Third Grade [Starlight Sword Skill] as well as the Fourth Grade [Thousand Lords Sword Skill].
As for the other twenty second grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, he planned to use part of them for normal cultivation, and part of them to be placed into the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, and then warmed with the Sundown Thunder Sword Mantle for a period of time, so as to breed the third grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.
“Unfortunately, making the second-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds change into third-grade Wind Lightning Sword Grass Spirit Seeds requires a large amount of Sundown Thunder Sword Mans as well as quite a long period of time.”
Lu Xuan thought with some regret.
However, it was still necessary to obtain as many Wind Thunder Swordgrasses as possible, not only for the sake of a more lucrative reward, but also because Lu Xuan needed to use a large number of Wind Thunder Swordgrasses as his experimental objects to figure out the method of condensing the Wind Thunder Swordgrass Spirit Seed.
At that time, only then would it be a true systematic cultivation of bulk Wind Lightning Swordgrass, rather than just placing it in the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath and waiting for it to mutate successfully.
He buried the ten Swordgrass Spirit Seeds into the Spirit Soil, seeping into the Spirit Seeds with all sorts of hair-thin sword qi, stimulating the success of the Spirit Seeds’ conception.
After making his rounds in the spirit field, Lu Xuan left the Inner Sect and came to the cave where Baili Jianqing was.
After Lu Xuan was promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, the two of them had much fewer chances to meet each other, and could only get together when Lu Xuan occasionally went out.
“Jianqing, open the door.”
He had long since contacted Baili Jianqing with his summoning talisman, so he directly shouted.
“Big Brother Lu!”
A young man with a clean-cut appearance poked his head out from the doorway, and the moment he saw Lu Xuan, his slender eyes narrowed into two slits with a smile.
Lu Xuan entered the courtyard and put down some of the Fiery Flame Fruits and Ice Luo Fruits that he had brought with him.
“These are spirit fruits that I cultivated with my own hands, the flavor is good, try them.”
“Wow! Thank you, Big Brother Lu!” Baili Jianqing said in surprise as she felt the rich spiritual energy on the two types of spirit fruits.
In order to cultivate, second grade pills might usually be eaten a lot, but second grade spirit fruits were rarely tasted, after all, it wasn’t to the point where second grade spirit fruits were used as a zero mouth.
“How has your cultivation been lately? I see that your cultivation seems to have refined a lot.”
Lu Xuan sat down and asked Baili Jianqing.
“Not long ago, I entered the Qi Practicing Perfection Stage and am preparing to impact Foundation Establishment, and for this reason, I have specially applied for a large sum of money from my family’s old man.”
Baili Jianqing hemmed and hawed.
“Well, remember to make sure to adjust your state to the best, spiritual energy, spiritual sense, and physical body, when all three are one, only then can you make a breakthrough.”
Lu Xuan shared his previous breakthrough experience, and for Baili Jianqing, his outlook was quite good.
The two of them had already known each other before joining the Heavenly Sword Sect, and they had gotten along very harmoniously and naturally, having known each other for many years, Lu Xuan could be considered to have made the best of friends in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“The day I break through to the Foundation Establishment realm will be the day I take you flying, Big Brother Lu.”
Baili Jianqing’s impression of Lu Xuan had always remained on his sincerity in researching and cultivating spiritual plants, and although he had not yet made a breakthrough, he still said boldly.
Lu Xuan smiled faintly.
“By the way, this time I came over and brought you a Sword Grass of fair quality that comes with a Flame Scorch.”
He took out a crimson swordgrass from his storage bag and handed it to Baili Jianqing.
“Haha, I didn’t expect you to keep it in mind, Big Brother Lu.”
Baili Jianqing took the sword grass, inputted his own spiritual energy, and pulled a sword flower.
On the crimson sword grass, sword qi shot out, and the invisible sword blade had a thin layer of fire spiritual energy, and from afar, one could feel a sizzling aura.
“Thank you Brother Lu, I like this sword grass very much.”
Baili Jianqing came to Lu Xuan and said solemnly.
Each swordgrass was a natural sword weapon, and was considered to be at the forefront of existence amongst magic weapons of the same grade, and as far as Lu Xuan knew, second-grade swordgrasses were one of the main magic weapons of quite a number of pre-Base Establishment Inner Sect disciples.
The two hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they talked happily, thinking about the bright future on the cultivation path.
Sword Hall.
A middle-aged cultivator with an aura as thick as the abyss and the sea walked briskly, his face so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
Wherever he passed, the Sword Hall disciples who encountered him gave a low greeting, and then they all bowed their heads to avoid him.
“Senior Brother Shen, I’ve just learned that the remaining fourth-grade Sword Thousand Lords Spirit Seed has been taken?”
“It’s said that it’s still an inner disciple in the early Foundation Establishment stage who just entered the Sword Hall?”
The middle-aged cultivator lowered his voice and said word by word to the gentle and jade-like Shen Ye, his body’s aura stirring, as if something extremely terrifying was continuously brewing in his body.
The deep black sword box behind Shen Ye trembled slightly, isolating the aura inspired by the middle-aged cultivator.
He looked as usual, seemed not to be affected in the slightest, slowly raised his head and said in a gentle tone.
“That’s right, I advocate it with all my might, at the same time, Senior Uncle Murong doesn’t have any opinions.”
