Chapter 296 – The Fish Mess
Chapter 296 – Fish Rebellion
Courtyard.
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, the ancient sword sheath in his hand constantly shaking.
A deep black slender Spirit Seed fell out from the crack of the scabbard in an extremely silky and smooth manner.
It was a sword grass spirit seed that had been placed in the scabbard for a long time to nourish.
At this time the spirit seed, surrounded by a faint black wind lingering, the spirit seed surface has the naked eye a few invisible tiny arc jump, instantly dissipated in the air.
“Another third grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed.”
Lu Xuan grasped the Wind Thunder Swordgrass Spirit Seed that had successfully mutated and was satisfied in his heart.
He planted the Spirit Seed into the Spirit Field, and wisps of Spirit Rain seeped into the Spirit Seed as well as the surrounding Spirit Soil with extreme precision, after which, hundreds of deep black sword awns as thin as hair shot out from Lu Xuan’s Dantian and fishtailed into the field.
At this time, more than two months had passed since the sea beasts attacked the Empty Underworld Spirit Fish’s waters, and during this period of time, the wind and waves on the island were calm, and nothing unusual had happened.
Not long after the attack, Song Yu then Song Yun brought more than a thousand Spirit Stones to Lu Xuan, which was a bit more than he had expected.
After returning, Lu Xuan stayed in the courtyard at ease, cultivating spiritual plants, and the sword grass spirit seed just now was already the third Wind Thunder Sword Grass spirit seed he had recently obtained.
The stimulation of the Sundown Thunder Sword Mantle, coupled with the nourishment of the Mysterious Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, caused the second-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed to have an extremely high mutation success rate.
The only shortcoming was that the consumption of the Sundown Thunder Sword Mantle was not few, and the nourishment time wasn’t short, but compared to obtaining a mutated Wind Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed, this shortcoming was nothing.
The scabbard was limited in the amount of sword awnings it could withstand, so it could only nourish one Swordgrass Spirit Seed at a time.
There were already more than a dozen sword grasses planted next to it, like forming a small forest of sword weapons, with each hilt pointing straight up to the sky, and all kinds of sword qi raged throughout the entire piece of spiritual field.
Ten second grade ordinary swordgrasses, mainly used to condense the swordgrass spirit seeds in the future, one of the first successful mutation of the Wind Thunder Swordgrass, was not much longer away from full maturity.
There was also the third grade Starlight Swordgrass and the fourth grade Sword Thousand Lords that were obtained from the Sword Hall.
The attached “Starlight Sword Technique” has long been initiated, but it is still not considered proficient, when cultivating the Starlight Swordgrass, one needs to be cautious and cautious again, lest one makes a not-so-subtle Starlight Sword Qi, and directly decapitates the Starlight Swordgrass that is still in the early stages of growth.
As for the fourth-grade “Thousand Lords Sword Skill”, after coming to Empty Underworld Island and practicing hard for a few months, he finally reached the introductory realm and could start cultivating Sword Thousand Lords.
After planting the Wind Thunder Swordgrass Spirit Seed, Lu Xuan took out a new Swordgrass Spirit Seed from his storage bag.
With that, the deep black Sword Pill in his dantian slowly rotated, and hundreds and thousands of Sundown Thunder Sword Mantles scrambled out, passing through the cracked membrane of the scabbard and entering the scabbard.
The invisible sword qi was not like these flying swords like the Purple Electricity Sword Red Flame Sword, both getting the thirsty sword qi and not having to endure the pain of being plugged in, so it was even more popular with the Raising Xuan Sword Scabbard.
After punching in the many Sundown Thunder Sword Mantles, Lu Xuan followed up by shooting the slender Sword Grass Spirit Seed into the scabbard.
“This is it?”
The slender spirit seed was like chopsticks pounding a vat, leaving the scabbard without any reaction, Lu Xuan could sense the rather spiritual scabbard under his mind’s cohesion, revealing a sense of provocation.
“……”
Lu Xuan was silent.
“After nourishing a new Wind Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed, I will reward you with a giant flying sword.”
He gritted his teeth and said towards the ancient sword sheath.
Then, he toured around the spirit field to inspect it.
During these two months, the last remaining Ghost-faced Stone Mushroom had matured, and from the white ball of light, another fourth-grade Xuan Yin Dan opened out, which was properly stowed away in Lu Xuan’s storage bag.
Among the remaining spiritual plants, the third grade Moon Lin Grass was about to fully mature, the fourth grade Xuan Worm Vine, the Earth Fire Heart Lotus, and the only Netherworld Spiritual Plant, the Hundred Pupil Guile Wood, were all entering the maturity stage one after another. The more than a hundred plants of Waterfly Grass were growing well, giving Lu Xuan a premonition that the day of his breakthrough to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was getting closer and closer.
On this day, while Lu Xuan was painstakingly practicing the Thousand Lords Sword Skill, Song Yu, the Lord of Empty Underworld Island, suddenly visited.
“Uncle Lu, are you still getting used to this bout of time?
Empty Underworld Island is not like the Upper Sect, the spiritual qi is thin and there are not many secret treasures, there aren’t many opportunities to hone your arts and sword intent, I don’t know if Uncle Lu is adapting.”
Song Yu said with a smile, a hint of hidden anxiety on his elegant face.
“Fortunately, I’m a person with an indifferent nature, rarely competing with others for opportunities and treasures, the difference between being on the Empty Underworld Island and within the Heavenly Sword Sect isn’t very big.”
Lu Xuan smiled indifferently.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Song Yu rubbed his hands together and hesitated for a moment, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
“Uncle Lu, I came over to bother you today because I have something important to ask for.”
“What is it?”
“It’s like this, somehow during this period of time, those Empyrean Spirit Fish that were bred had abnormal reactions from time to time, and they were becoming more and more frequent and intense, the Song family was at their wits’ end, so they had to come over to ask for Master Uncle’s help.”
“What exactly is the situation?” Lu Xuan’s expression was solemn, he had come over to station at Empty Underworld Island, and one of his main tasks was to properly guard the Empty Underworld Spirit Fish on the island, if any accidents occurred, he wouldn’t be able to deliver when he returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“In the beginning, a Song Family cultivator who raised the spirit fish noticed that occasionally the Empty Underworld Spirit Fish crashed into the reef, and initially thought that it was just something that was fed wrong during the rearing process.”
“But it was slowly discovered that the number of Empty Underworld Spirit Fish that hit the reef was increasing, in addition, there were a large number of Empty Underworld Spirit Fish that weren’t too willing to return to their habitat, and only reluctantly came back under compulsion.”
Song Yu said anxiously, the spirit fish that crashed into the reef, although there were cultivators to stop them or help treat them, there had already appeared to be spirit fish that repeated the crash, crashing their heads into each other.
Unwilling to return to the habitat that is likely to appear worse situation, after all, the empty underworld island can have a large number of empty underworld spirit fish to stay, and that sea has a close connection, if the sea loses its attraction, that may lead to a large number of spirit fish loss.
After trying a number of methods that failed to solve the anomaly of the empty underworld spirit fish, he thought of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan is the only foundation cultivator on the island, from a famous family, knowledgeable, plus this time together, Song Yu learned that Lu Xuan in the spiritual plants and beasts of the road is extremely proficient, in a pinch, will come to the door to ask for help.
Although in Lu Xuan’s mind will fall into an unfavorable impression, but at this moment, can not care about those.
“Has the cultivator who raises spirit fish on the island found anything?”
There were quite a few cultivators on Empty Underworld Island who specialized in raising Empty Underworld Spirit Fish, perhaps not too good at cultivating other Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts, but the Song Clan’s cultivators had accumulated a wealth of experience in Empty Underworld Spirit Fish, so Lu Xuan thought of them at the first opportunity.
“The Song Family cultivators have not come up with nothing, and have deduced that it is likely that there is some sort of strange creature hidden within the Spirit Fish’s body or habitat that is destroying the Spirit Fish’s growth environment and living habits, thus causing them to react abnormally.”
“Unfortunately, exhausting all possible means has failed to find out where the cause lies.”
“There are even cultivators who purposely fished up two Empyrean Spirit Fish and dissected them, but still didn’t find any abnormalities.”
Song Yu said with a bitter expression.
“Take me to take a look.”
Lu Xuan’s words instantly raised his hopes.
