Chapter 101 – Sword Wash Pond Thousand Dragon Lake
Chapter 101 – Sword Washing Pond Thousand Dragon Lake
The shuttle-shaped flying boat flew swiftly between the mountains, rivers and lakes.
Every time they passed by, the Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators enthusiastically introduced Lu Xuan and the others.
“The Heavenly Sword Sect is not weaker than the other sects in every aspect, and the Sword Dao is even more outstanding, standing out from the rest, more than one level stronger than the other sects.”
“There is the Sword Wash Pool, which contains infinite sword qi, and when flying sword artifacts are put into it, they can condense the sword intent and get rid of the small amount of impurities in the flying swords, making them more pure.”
“When forging a sword artifact, adding a small amount of Sword Washing Pond pool water can also slightly increase the success rate of forging.”
The Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator with a circumspect appearance and temperament pointed to a pool below and said, Lu Xuan looked along and saw that the pool was sparkling with sword light, rippling with the waves, and the sharp sword intent could be felt high above the sky.
“This is the Falling Sword Peak, inside there are many flying swords left behind by Heavenly Sword Sect’s deceased seniors, and there are many high grade sword weapons that are full of spirituality.”
“If all of you senior brothers and sisters are deeply blessed and adept at the sword path, perhaps you can go to the Falling Sword Peak to take your chances, and you might be able to obtain a rare sword weapon.”
The Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator pointed at a peak that swept by beside him and said.
The huge peak was hundreds of feet tall, and the sound of sword chants like a dragon’s roar came from inside from time to time.
“This is the Sword Fighting Lodge, built from the finest lapis lazuli, even a JieDan cultivator can’t easily cause great damage here, it’s a good place for the usual sparring between fellow disciples on sword skills and techniques.”
Fighting sword hut is covered in clouds and mist, only revealing a scale and a half claw, extremely mysterious.
“Senior brother, may I ask, is there any special treasure place within the sect that grows spiritual plants and nurtures spiritual beasts?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“This naturally exists, there are several elders within the sect who are skilled in alchemy who also have rich experience and unique insights in cultivating spirit plants and spirit beasts, and there are also quite a number of mountains and lakes within the sect that are used to cultivate spirit plants and spirit beasts.”
Cultivator Founder said with a smile.
“For example, the huge lake in front that stretches for dozens of miles is called the Thousand Dragon Lake, and as the name suggests, there are numerous Jiao Dragons, Python Beasts, Boa Snakes, and so on, most of which are of the second grade, and there are dozens of hundreds of third grades and above.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but be staggered, third grade demonic beasts, equivalent to the early-mid stage of Foundation Establishment amongst cultivators, to know, inside the Lin Yang Fang City, there were only a handful of Foundation Establishment cultivators, that is to say, this gigantic lake could completely crush the entire Lin Yang Fang City.
And it was merely a base for the Heavenly Sword Sect to raise spirit beasts.
After this comparison, he had an easy-to-understand understanding of the so-called sect’s underpinnings.
The flying boat swept over the Thousand Dragons Lake, and a huge two-headed black auger instantly attacked out of the lake, and was blocked by a layer of transparent aura shield over the lake, falling back into the lake.
Seemingly triggering a chain reaction, the calm surface of the lake instantly set off raging winds and waves, a differently shaped scaly dragon, boa, and python beasts scrambling to burrow out, and then instantly falling back into the lake.
“All senior brothers and sisters don’t need to worry, the outer ring of the Thousand Dragon Lake is arranged with a powerful prohibition, these scaly dragons and boas are unable to break out.
Furthermore, each Jiao Dragon Boa hatchling has a binding type of magic weapon left on its body, so if it senses any movement from them, it can easily control them through the magic weapon.”
At the edge of the lake in the distance, three Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators were throwing large chunks of fresh demonic beast meat into the Thousand Dragons Lake, and as soon as they did so, they were fiercely fought over by a ferocious-looking Jiao Dragon Boa.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan recalled the scene of his previous life when he fed the koi, only now this scene was many times bigger. “A few senior brothers there, they should have received the task of feeding the demonic beasts of the Thousand Dragon Lake within the sect.”
The cultivator with a circumspect temperament explained.
“After becoming an outer disciple, except for certain moments, most of the time you are relatively free.”
“You can cultivate gongfu techniques, or you can study techniques such as danwei arrays and talismans, and from time to time, there will be Foundation Establishment Cultivators or even JieDan Cultivators on the various mountain peaks to teach and explain, this point can be said to be the greatest invisible asset after becoming an outer disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.”
“Of course, while enjoying the rights, one must also take on the obligations, and various tasks will be assigned to the disciples within the sect.”
“The simple and safe ones are cultivating spiritual plants, raising spiritual beasts, assisting in refining pills and magic weapons, handling talisman making materials, etc.”
“These basically don’t have to worry about safety issues, but there are also tasks with higher risks, the common ones are to clean up and solve demonic beasts and evil spirits, secret realms to pick special spiritual medicines, etc.,, however, these types of tasks also tend to unexpectedly have rich rewards.”
“There are tasks that are freely chosen, and there are also those that are dispatched by the clan or division elders on their own initiative, if you don’t go for a long period of time, or if you repeatedly refuse the tasks, you may be penalized to a certain extent.”
“After completing the mission, one can obtain something called [Sword Seal], which is equivalent to the special currency circulating within the Heavenly Sword Sect’s clan. In addition to completing the quests can be obtained after, having a special contribution to the sect, establishing merits for the sect and other ways can also obtain the Sword Seal.”
“The Sword Seal can be exchanged for all sorts of things, feats, magic weapons, pills, talismans, etc., and can also be exchanged for Spirit Stones, it’s just that it doesn’t usually go that way.”
The circumspect-looking cultivator introduced Lu Xuan and the others in detail, some of these people had already known it like the back of their hand, while others had come across these things for the first time.
Lu Xuan then listened with great interest, keeping it in mind.
A few moments later, the shuttle-shaped flying boat stopped at a verdant mountain peak, with several elegant buildings in the waist of the mountain.
“Senior brothers and sisters, there are still a few more days of work before you officially pay your respects to the clan, so you can rest and cultivate here for these few days.”
“Just remember not to wander around freely, you currently do not have a disciple identity nameplate, the sect has formation prohibitions everywhere, forcibly intruding words will cause unnecessary trouble, and may even be injured and perish, there is what you need can always look for me or other sect cultivators.”
The Qi Zhou Zheng cultivator instructed Lu Xuan and the others.
The crowd nodded their heads and waited for the Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator to leave before each of them chose a room and went inside to rest.
Lu Xuan was not picky and found an elegant and quiet room in a remote location, reading and practicing every day, occasionally chatting and conversing a few sentences with Baili Jianqing who lived next to him.
For the spirit beasts and plants in the bag of life, although his heart was a little anxious, he had no place to put them for the time being, so he had to remain in the bag of life.
During this period, he also met the young talents of his peers, and after a brief contact, after realizing that Lu Xuan came from an ordinary background and was obsessed with spiritual plants, most of the cultivators who were originally enthusiastic and courteous became much colder at once, and only two or three cultivators did not have any change in their attitudes.
In the cultivation world, cultivation was the right path, so after hearing Lu Xuan’s plans, the crowd quickly judged that he would soon be left behind on his cultivation journey.
Coupled with the fact that the status of a Spirit Plant Master was at the bottom of the cultivation craft, far inferior to that of an Alchemist, Formation Master, and the like, it was only natural that Lu Xuan would be left out in the cold or even belittled.
Lu Xuan didn’t think so, with the white light ball, he was more confident than all the cultivators present who were gifted and had extraordinary backgrounds.
Regardless of what happened in the outside world, all he needed to do was to plant his fields in peace.
