Chapter 358 – Meeting an Old Friend in the Hall of Swords
Chapter 358 – Encountering an Old Friend in the Hall of Swords
With eight Wind Lightning Swordgrasses left, he planned to try to generalize the method of condensing seeds for the Third Grade Wind Lightning Swordgrass by analogy through the method of condensing seeds for the Second Grade Ordinary Swordgrass.
Currently, the Wind Lightning Swordgrass was nourished by the Xuan Nurturing Sword Sheath, so it was impossible to obtain swordgrass spirit seeds in bulk, and at the same time, it was not easy to explain its origin to the Sword Hall’s senior management.
But as long as the method of condensing the seeds of the Wind Thunder Swordgrass was summarized, that nuisance could be solved.
Furthermore, the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath was currently used to nourish the fourth-grade Wind Thunder Sword and the mysterious emerald green sword, so if it was only used to improve the small-sized Sword Grass Spirit Seed, it would be a bit of a waste.
He took the sword grass with him, called over a spirit crane, and came to where the Sword Hall was.
After becoming a disciple of the Sword Hall, he knew the trick of going through the sword formation.
Lu Xuan peacefully passed through the subtle sword qi that was like a swimming fish in the sky and arrived in the Sword Hall.
When he was about to go look for his acquaintance Shen Ye, suddenly, a cool female cultivator walked past him.
Lu Xuan’s eyes swept over and caught a glimpse of a strangely shaped Sword Grass.
From bottom to top, the sword grass split into hundreds of fan-shaped sword qi, the sword qi was like substance, as if a peacock was opening its screen, overlapping and overlapping, the sword qi flared, the beauty and splendor contained endless killing opportunities.
“Sword Peacock?”
Lu Xuan’s expression froze as images from when he was in the secret realm near the Lin Yang Square City surfaced in his mind.
When he looked up, a complex look could not help but flash across his eyes.
To see that cool female cultivator walking further and further away, he did not hesitate to catch up.
“Senior sister please stay.”
The female cultivator heard Lu Xuan’s voice and turned back, looking at Lu Xuan with a puzzled expression.
Her appearance was beautiful, and her temperament was cool, like the quiet blossoming of an orchid in an empty valley.
It was the female cultivator of the Heavenly Sword Sect who had once gifted Lu Xuan with a Qing Yun Order in the Lin Yang Fang Market’s secret realm.
“What’s the matter with this senior brother?”
The female cultivator’s voice was as cold and clear as an icy mountain spring.
“Senior sister doesn’t have much of an impression of me?”
Lu Xuan asked with a smile.
The female cultivator pondered sideways for a moment before finally shaking her head.
“I’m sorry, Senior Brother is a bit of a stranger.”
Lu Xuan didn’t think so, when the two met it was already more than ten years ago, when he was still just a Qi Practicing Loose Cultivator, and with a hasty glance, it was only normal that the female cultivator didn’t remember him.
“More than ten years ago, in a secret realm near a scattered cultivator’s workshop, I had a one-sided encounter with Senior Sister, at that time, Senior Sister felt that I had some talent in Spiritual Plants, and left me with a Qingyun Order, which pushed me to enroll in the Heavenly Sword Sect.”
Lu Xuan slowly said.
“You …… senior brother you are the casual cultivator who cultivated the sword grass at that time?”
The cool female cultivator opened her mouth slightly, a trace of consternation flashing through her eyes.
“That’s right, I remember that at that time, Senior Sister still had a Sword Peacock in her hand, it should be this one in her hand, right?”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“I didn’t expect you to really worship the Heavenly Sword Sect, and still be promoted to an inner disciple in just over a decade!”
Looking at Lu Xuan’s attire of an inner disciple, the cool female cultivator was overwhelmed with emotion.
“I also have to thank Senior Sister for leaving me that Qing Yun Order back then, allowing me to worship in the sect more smoothly.”
Lu Xuan said with a sincere expression of gratitude.
It was with that Qing Yun Order gifted by the clear and cold female cultivator that he was able to firm up the idea of worshipping in the Heavenly Sword Sect, saving him from a lot of unnecessary links during the enrollment trial stage.
“Without that Qing Yun Order, with a talent like yours, you can also smoothly enter the sect.”
The female cultivator lamented as she slowly recalled the experience of meeting Lu Xuan.
At that time, she and a sword cultivator senior brother had passed through the Lin Yang Square Market, and had heard that a bizarre level evil spirit equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator had appeared inside, and the two of them were so skillful and bold that they had the idea of exploring a bit. In the end, the evil sneak was not found, but she found a loose young cultivator holding a sword grass.
She is from an extraordinary background, from that sword grass form, harboring sword qi at a glance to see that it is cultivated in the outside world.
A loose cultivator was able to cultivate a swordgrass with complex growing conditions, so she deduced that Lu Xuan was cultivating spiritual plants, or at least had a unique talent for cultivating swordgrass.
As the daughter of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s JieDan Elder, she had the power to gift the Qing Yun Order while she was still in the Qi Practicing Stage, so she left it to Lu Xuan in the secret realm in passing.
Unexpectedly, at that time a fortuitous act, in more than ten years later, also really in the Heavenly Sword Sect, in the sword hall to see once that loose cultivator teenager.
“After I joined the sect, especially after I was promoted to inner disciple, I have always kept an eye out for information about my senior sister, but unfortunately, I haven’t made the slightest progress.”
Lu Xuan said mildly, he didn’t know the female cultivator’s name, and after he was promoted to Foundation Establishment, he had only searched in secret in order to not make people curious.
“After I broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, in order to polish myself, I went to the outside world with a few elder brothers and sisters to refine and travel.”
“I see.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
During their conversation, he learned that the female cultivator’s name was Su Manman, and that she was currently in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Senior Brother Lu, you just said that you are already an official disciple of the Sword Hall and are able to independently cultivate a Third Grade Sword Grass.”
“I have a fourth-grade Sword Peacock in my hand, and I’ve been using it for years, and I’m extremely fond of it.”
“Unfortunately, some time ago, I ran into a late stage Foundation Establishment Evil Cultivator outside, and the sword appeared to be broken and contaminated by the evil spirit’s aura.”
“This time, I came over here because I wanted to find a senior brother in the Sword Hall to help me repair the Sword Peacock back to normal, I wonder if Senior Brother Lu can do that?”
“I’ll leave it to you, senior brother, if I can.”
A hint of mischief flashed in the eyes of the cool female cultivator.
“I can try.”
Lu Xuan said with confidence.
With the experience of cultivating numerous Sword Grasses, he was self-conscious of his experience, and with the fact that the Sword Peacock was actually a Spiritual Plant, he could quickly get a solution by understanding its detailed state.
There was also the mysterious treasure of the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, which could be inserted into it to nourish the broken Sword Peacock and restore it to normal.
Of course, the Sword Peacock in Su Manman’s hand had already matured for a long time, so to obtain information about the evil spirit’s aura, it would need to be manipulated additionally.
More mainly, he wanted to take this opportunity to repay the female cultivator for the gift of the order at that time.
“Good, then this Sword Peacock will be at your disposal, Senior Brother Lu.”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s certainty in his tone, Su Manmang did not doubt him and directly handed over the Fourth Grade Sword Peacock to Lu Xuan.
Before she came over to the Sword Hall, she had learned from the familiar Sword Hall disciples that the Sword Peacock in her hand was severely damaged, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to completely restore it to normal, at most it would only be able to regain 80% or 90% of its appearance, and with the slightest carelessness, there was still the risk of further breakage.
Therefore, seeing Lu Xuan’s confidence, her heart was much more stabilized.
To be able to independently cultivate a Second Grade Swordgrass even at the Qi Practitioner stage was already the best proof.
She was equally confident in her vision.
“This is my summoning talisman, if Senior Brother restores that Sword Peacock to normal, he can find me through the talisman.”
“If the restoration is successful, I will properly reward senior brother and won’t let you work for nothing.”
“In case it fails, it won’t be blamed on you, senior brother, you can rest assured of that.”
The two of them left their transmission talismans with each other, and the cool female cultivator said towards Lu Xuan.
“I will do my best to restore your Sword Peacock, Senior Sister.”
Lu Xuan nodded heavily.
