Chapter 593 – The Life-Slaying Sword Scripture
After obtaining the Fifth Grade Cloud Bamboo Arrow Formation, Lu Xuan couldn’t hold back his inner curiosity and came outside the cave.
Raging spiritual energy surged into the array disk, and a handle of array flags flew to different locations on the edge of the cave, the spiritual patterns on the flags swam, and disappeared in an instant.
Outside the cave soon appeared heavy sea of clouds, the sea of clouds tumbling between, a towering strange bamboo looming, faintly came the sound of clattering.
“Fifth grade array double protection, ensuring that no evil demonic insects invade the cave and damage the spiritual plants.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.
The last Arrow Vine, he saw that it didn’t have much time before it matured, so he simply used the Green Wood Source Qi to catalyze its ripening.
Now that he had accumulated quite a few Nascent Soul Grass Beads in his hand, he could replenish his Green Wood Source Qi in time, and he had a strong bottom line when he used it.
After picking out the Arrow Vine, Lu Xuan gently touched the white mass of light that quietly surfaced.
Countless points of light transformed into a small white arrow silhouette that instantly surged into his body.
[Harvested one Fourth Grade Altered Arrow Vine and obtained the Fifth Grade Treasure Nailhead Arrow].
The thought flashed by, and a small, ghostly black arrow appeared in his hand.
The surface of the small arrow had a faint black gas lingering on it, slowly swimming like a slender black snake, and the arrowhead seemed to be nailed to a semi-transparent human face, which had blurred features and could not be seen clearly.
His mind coalesced around this small, ghostly black arrow, and a message surfaced in his mind.
[Nail Head Arrow, fifth-grade treasure, contains the power of a powerful curse, when used, it can visualize the target’s appearance, breath, and so on, and act directly on its soul].
[Cultivators below the JieDan realm die on the spot, JieDan realm cultivators have a certain probability of death depending on cultivation, soul strength, treasures, etc., a light case is damage to the soul, a heavy case is the soul flying away].
“Another fifth-grade nailhead arrow!”
The last Arrow Vine opened up treasures that satisfied Lu Xuan’s heart.
“Curse-type treasures that don’t need to fight people head-on are Yin to the core for him who has been cowering inside his cave.”
At this point, the four Arrow Vines that had been searched for from that newly opened blessed land had all matured.
Lu Xuan had harvested two Fifth Grade Nailhead Arrows, a Fourth Grade Magic Artifact Splitting Electricity Bow, and a Fifth Grade Array Formation Cloud Bamboo Arrow Formation from the mass of light, and each of the rewards were quite good.
With a thought of his mind, the Grass Puppet that was patrolling the Spirit Field rushed towards Lu Xuan’s side with two slender grass legs.
On its slender arms made of gray grass, a green and black vine was wrapped around it, and arrows of different sizes and forms extended from the vine, adding a bit of ferocity to the grass puppet that originally looked a bit silly.
“Here, these three arrow vines are also given to you, in the future, if you run into any demonic beast cultivators that try to sneak into the cave, use these four arrow vines and shoot them to death with random arrows.”
Lu Xuan instructed the grass puppet.
Although the Grass Golem was not spiritually intelligent, this simple command was still comprehended clearly, and the large and somewhat deformed gray grass head nodded heavily.
The body shot out three gray grasses, tugging on three vines that wrapped around various parts of the body, with large and small arrows protruding, looking somewhat similar to a hedgehog.
“Haha, the strongest grass man.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help himself, dropping a Nascent Grass Bead on the Grass Puppet and telling it to continue patrolling the Spirit Field.
The arrow vines wrapped around the upper half of the Grass Puppet’s body set off the two long, thin legs to look even more grotesque and weak.
However, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator saw it, his heart would definitely harbor envy and jealousy.
A grass spirit puppet has four special vines equivalent to a fourth-grade magic weapon, what is the meaning of this cultivation?
After harvesting the arrow vines, the cave’s many spiritual plants entered a steady growth phase.
Lu Xuan, after some time, planted the fifty or so Hidden Yuan Grass Spirit Seeds that had been processed and proceeded to cultivate them.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
In the spirit field, it was lush and full of life.
Lu Xuan stood in the Spirit Field Rouge, checking the detailed status of the Spirit Plants one by one, ensuring that each Spirit Plant could be fully nourished.
In these half a year, he didn’t go exploring the secret realm or anything else, and spent most of his time in the cave.
Occasionally go out, either to go to the Star Picking Building to replenish some of the cultivation needs, or with the Thunder Flame Star Cave several familiar cultivators small gathering, during the period of time also went to the Sea of Thunder twice, but basically in the peripheral area of the activities, collected some spirit lightning after the contented exit.
The several thunder genus spiritual plants in the spiritual field currently do not have a large enough demand for spiritual thunder, some common spiritual thunder can satisfy their current growth needs, so for the time being, they do not need to spend too much effort.
He came to the area of the sword grass spiritual field and stood in front of the White Bone Killing Sword Grass that was shaped like a slender bone sword, and his mind sank into the sword intent around the sword grass.
“There was a swoosh.
A sword qi of killing intent shot out from his fingertips, stirring the surrounding sword intent, and immediately, the killing intent was so overwhelming that it gave Lu Xuan the feeling of being on top of a battlefield.
Densely packed with enemies beside him, there were limbs and broken arms everywhere, and dark red blood flowed, coloring the entire heaven and earth.
Lu Xuan harnessed the roiling Killing Sword Qi as if he was mowing the grass, easily exterminating the surrounding enemies one by one.
Thousands of times of experience in sword-riding had slowly brought a kind of clarity to his heart, and the Tongming Sword Heart assisted him in summarizing, and a special meaning vaguely flowed out between the flying sword qi.
“Finally, I have initially comprehended the corresponding sword technique.”
Lu Xuan opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth rising.
The fifth-grade White Bone Slaying Sword Grass, which was nurtured by the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Pool back then, did not have a corresponding cultivation sword skill.
After planting the Spirit Seed, Lu Xuan could only use the killing sword intent contained in the Spirit Seed to cultivate the swordgrass from scratch.
It was fortunate that he had previously obtained the treasure of the Tongming Sword Heart, allowing him to have an understanding of the sword path that was no less than that of those sword art geniuses, which allowed him to work out a relatively complete set of sword techniques.
“White Bone Slaying Swordgrass, then the sword technique will be called the Slaying Sword Scripture.”
Lu Xuan whispered in his heart.
The current mastery of this sword scripture was probably at the fourth-grade stage, and in order to successfully cultivate this fifth-grade swordgrass, one would still need to continue comprehending and delving into it, and when it was perfected into a fifth-grade sword scripture, then the White Bone Slaying Swordgrass would be able to mature successfully.
As for the other Split Light Transportation Swordgrass, due to the relatively late cultivation, the difficulty of comprehending the Split Light Sword Intent is slightly higher than the Killing Sword Intent, so there is only an approximate prototype.
However, with the assistance of the Tong Ming Sword Heart and his own exquisite control over the sword grass, Lu Xuan was confident in comprehending the corresponding sword skill.
“Once these ordinary Swordgrasses mature, we can condense some Swordgrass Spirit Seeds, and then try to improve them a bit and figure out how to get higher grade Swordgrasses.”
Lu Xuan looked at the no less than twenty second-grade swordgrasses next to him and secretly thought.
When he first moved away from the Heavenly Sword Sect, he had purposely gone to the Sword Hall to apply for some ordinary Swordgrass Spirit Seeds.
There was no difficulty in applying for this type of swordgrass, and it was easy to get quite a few spirit seeds, plus the grade was low and only had a purely sharp nature, so there was a lot of room for improvement.
In addition, he had already mastered the method of condensing seeds of second-grade sword grasses, and was able to obtain spirit seeds in bulk, so he could completely try to induce improvement.
