Chapter 199: For the Sect, Sacrificing a Little Is Nothing
“For example, if you plant the swordgrass in an environment where the fire spirit is rich in aura, and then nourish and cultivate it with fiery sword intent, the mature swordgrass will likely contain a scorching effect.”
“Experimenting from generation to generation, in the long run, it will enable the swordgrass varieties to be improved.”
Shen Ye’s expression eased a bit and continued:
“However, the improvement of swordgrass is quite a bit more difficult than ordinary spirit plants. After all, during the planting process, the normal swordgrass would then require sword qi to nourish and stimulate it, and if one were to attempt to improve the varieties, the sword qi sword intent and the like used for experimentation would likely harm the swordgrass plant.”
Lu Xuan nodded and asked with a puzzled expression.
“Senior Brother Shen, according to what you said, the swordgrass I cultivated a long time ago has been nourished with the gold system’s Gengjin Sword Technique, so why didn’t it reveal an abnormal state when it matured?”
“There are many factors that affect it.”
“First of all, Senior Brother Lu, you cultivated it in a loose cultivator’s workshop, so the basic pure spiritual energy cannot be guaranteed, let alone a special spiritual environment.”
“Secondly, the sword qi you used to cultivate the swordgrass, Senior Brother, is the Gengjin Sword Technique, with a grade of first-rate, which is considered a bit of a stretch to use to cultivate second-rate swordgrass.
Furthermore, if I’m not mistaken, Senior Brother Lu’s mastery of the Gengjin Sword Technique during the cultivation of the swordgrass has yet to reach the current Zongmaster realm, thus also affecting the quality of the final swordgrass.”
“Of course, it’s not completely ineffective, I have the impression that the swordgrass in Senior Brother’s hand is much sharper and sturdier than ordinary swordgrasses, and that should be due to the influence of the Gengjin Sword Skill.”
Lu Xuan gently nodded his head, expressing his understanding.
What Shen Ye had said was true, his Gungjin Sword Skill at the Zongshi realm was indeed reached after constantly absorbing experience packets.
“By the way, Senior Brother Lu, have you practiced other sword arts besides mastering the Gengjin Sword Technique?”
“After advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, I chose a Four Seasons Sword Technique in the Bible Pavilion.”
Lu Xuan answered truthfully.
“The Four Seasons Sword Skill …… is considered a superior sword art, with endless changes that are impossible to defend against, and moreover, it is more suitable for cultivating sword grass.”
The gentle cultivator affirmed.
“With Senior Brother Lu’s talent in the path of the sword Dao, I believe that he will soon be able to cultivate that sword skill to a high level, and at that time, he will definitely be able to cultivate sword grasses of better quality.”
Shen Ye looked at Lu Xuan with anticipation in his eyes.
“I’m grateful for senior brother’s regard, senior brother, my talent in sword dao is nothing in the sect.”
Lu Xuan forced a smile.
“Senior Brother is too modest, to be able to cultivate a First Grade Sword Technique to the Sect Master realm at the Qi Practicing stage is not an easy task no matter where you are.”
“That’s because I absorbed enough experience packs ah ……”
Lu Xuan couldn’t defend himself, it was the first time he had been asserted that he possessed superior sword dao talent.
“A sword dao genius is a sword dao genius, anyway, now that I’m planting the Sword Grass and the Sword Nurturing Gourd, the light group rewards must be closely related to the sword, so I should be able to open up some kind of sword experience pack …… right?”
He was a little apprehensive in his heart, the sword grass that he had about, with tears, he also had to plant it.
Fortunately, there is still the Sundown Thunder Sword Pill in the dantian, a third-grade sword treasure, completely able to cope with the current situation.
Shen Ye chatted with Lu Xuan while introducing him to the Sword Hall layout, rules, and so on.
“Since senior brother you have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, then I will formally introduce you to the Sword Hall, is senior brother Lu willing?”
After strolling around, Shen Ye mildly asked Lu Xuan.
“With pleasure.”
Being able to slowly get in touch with the core secrets of the Heavenly Sword Sect and grow rare spiritual plants such as the Sword Grass and the Sword Peacock, Lu Xuan naturally did not have any opinions and immediately nodded his head in agreement.
Shen Ye held Lu Xuan in the highest regard and personally accompanied him, handling all the formalities for him as quickly as possible.
“Welcome Senior Brother Lu to join in the Sword Hall.” “The Sword Hall has a supreme status, and is personally ruled by two JieDan Elders, although I have the position of Hall Master of the SiNong Hall, I also hold the responsibility of the Sword Hall’s Vice Hall Master, if there is anything that Master Lu needs from me in the future, he can contact me though.”
“Many thanks Senior Brother Shen.”
Lu Xuan hurriedly thanked, and gained a few more favorable feelings towards Shen Ye.
Supervising the Spirit Seed and Condensation Methods of the Hall of Si Nong, holding a key position in the Sword Hall, the important place of the sect, and being a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator himself, this Shen Ye’s status in his heart had risen sharply.
Second only to the little luan bird and white jade little ape.
“Master Lu, this is ten Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, the number of Spirit Seeds that each fellow disciple who has just joined the Sword Hall can obtain for the first time.”
“You can cultivate them in the Sword Hall, or you can plant them in your own spiritual fields, and hand them over to the Sword Hall after they are cultivated and matured, of course, the Sword Hall won’t let you do it for nothing, and will pay you a certain amount of Sword Seals as a reward.”
“Based on the number of swordgrasses you turn in at maturity, their quality, and the improvement effect, the Sword Hall will decide the number of spirit seeds you can obtain next time, and whether or not to teach you the cultivation methods for higher grade swordgrasses.”
“Cultivating ten swordgrasses at a time may affect your normal cultivation, hard work senior brother Lu.”
Ten slender, sword-like gray-black seeds floated in front of Lu Xuan.
“What?”
Lu Xuan froze for a moment, somewhat unresponsive.
“Spending a Sword Seal to invite me to cultivate Sword Grass so that I can get a Light Cluster Reward?”
“Where can I find such a good thing?”
He received the ten Sword Grass Spirit Seeds with a solemn and dignified expression, and said, word by word, with deep emotion.
“For the sake of the clan, this sacrifice is nothing.”
When Shen Ye heard this, a wave of respect could not help but arise in his heart, feeling that the Lu Xuan in front of him looked exceptionally smooth.
He had some strong interest in planting sword grass, but if he was asked to sacrifice his cultivation time to cultivate spiritual plants, it was something that could never be done.
Thus, he admired Lu Xuan’s choice.
After Lu Xuan had gone through the Sword Hall and obtained ten Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, Shen Ye personally sent him out of the Sword Hall Formation and watched him ride the Spirit Crane into the clouds.
Returning to the foot of the mountain, with a thought, wisps of thin threads emerged and disappeared, Lu Xuan opened the Flowing Light Rune Formation and entered the mountain peak.
After a few breaths, he returned to the courtyard.
The fact that he had gotten ten Sword Grass Spirit Seeds made him feel extremely happy, and his steps were much easier as he walked.
Lu Xuan entered the house and took out the ten Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, placing them on the table.
“I didn’t expect that one day, I would be able to receive a generous reward for planting spirit plants.”
Although the swordgrass after being planted out would have to be returned to the Sword Hall, however, at the very least, the light clusters that appeared during the cultivation process belonged entirely to him.
With his experience of cultivating so many spirit plants, the light cluster rewards were usually higher than the value of the spirit plants themselves.
“Be sure to perform well and strive to obtain more and higher grade swordgrass spirit plants.”
Lu Xuan secretly resolved in his heart.
“During the planting process, try to nourish and stimulate the swordgrass with different sword qi, and try to cultivate variant swordgrasses.”
“Compared to my fellow Sword Hall disciples, I have a natural advantage, with my knowledge of the immediate state of the swordgrass, I can stimulate the plant without causing damage to the spirit plant.”
“Thus it can ensure that all the swordgrasses are complete and mature, and during the planting process, it can also continuously make subtle adjustments to increase the probability of the swordgrasses mutating.”
“The only problem at the moment is that the cultivation is not deep and thorough enough for the Four Seasons Sword Technique to comprehend.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly, and suddenly, an aura flashed through his mind.
