Chapter 540 – A Little Knowledge of Sword Skills
Chapter 540 – A Little Understanding of Sword Skill
After entering the city, along the way, Lu Xuan learned from the chats of Zhou Qi and the others that there were five major sect cultivators stationed in Black Star City, among which there were big sects like the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and the Spirit Heavenly Sect, as well as two medium-sized sects nestled in the vicinity of Black Star City.
Due to the reason that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, those two medium sorts of sects, although their strength is average, but they have also poured out their nests, vowing to guard the last barrier in front of their sects.
There were Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s JieDan real people guarding the city just in case.
“It looks like this Black Star City location is quite important, with so many sect cultivators stationed here.”
Lu Xuan thought in his heart as he slowly traveled through the somewhat withered wide streets.
A few moments later, he was led to a courtyard by the city’s scattered cultivators.
“Senior Brother Lu, this is where you’ll be sheltering and practicing for a while, the courtyard is simple and inferior to the great sects by an unknown amount, so please bear with me.”
This loose cultivator was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment realm, his strength was considered quite good among the loose cultivators, but in front of Lu Xuan, who was from the Heavenly Sword Sect, he automatically shortened by a head and said with a rushed expression.
“Not bad, I’m satisfied.”
Lu Xuan said with a sincere expression, he was originally a casual cultivator origin, the small courtyard in the Lin Yang Marketplace is a lot worse than the one in front of him, coupled with the fact that this time he came out in order to clean up the demonic evil spirits, naturally, he would not pay too much attention to it.
The casual cultivator heard the words, at once much easier, left a summoning talisman and hurriedly left.
Lu Xuan entered the courtyard and casually set up a simple prohibition.
The courtyard is not too big or small, there are eight houses, in addition, there is an empty spiritual field, nearly three acres.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly as he sensed the spiritual qi in the courtyard.
Compared to the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Spiritual Qi in Black Star City was not only much thinner, but also more refractory at the same time.
“Fortunately, it’s finally better than the former Lin Yang Square City.”
Lu Xuan thought optimistically.
It was difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and this kind of environment made him, who was used to the pure and rich spiritual qi of the inner sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect, a little uncomfortable for a moment.
“I’m afraid that if the Second Grade Water Glow Grass is planted in such a spiritual field, the growth cycle will become quite a bit longer, and it will also be difficult to get higher quality mature plants.”
He grabbed a ball of light black spirit soil that was empty in the spirit field and said darkly.
“There’s no need to rush to cultivate those Water Glow Grass Spirit Seeds that were brought in first, let’s wait for a few days of slight acclimatization.”
Lu Xuan looked at the barren and empty spirit field, pressed down the urge to cultivate the field within his heart, entered the house, and began to adjust his breath to ensure that he was in the best condition.
The Black Star City was crowded with people, so he didn’t rush to take out the Void Nightmare Eye, he just released the Treading Clouds Lynx so that it would be wary of the Evil Sneaky Scent, and the Clear May Feathered Clothes concealed his own aura, before entering a state of cultivation.
The peaceful days didn’t last long.
Three days later, a talisman flew to the outside of the courtyard, emitting gusts of whistling sounds outside the forbidden system, seemingly urging Lu Xuan in general.
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense pulled the talisman over, inputting a trace of Spiritual Energy, and a mellow voice rang out.
“Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, please patrol carefully within the formation in recent days, with you there is ……”
The voice issued Lu Xuan a patrol task, which included the patrol range, teammate information, scheduling time, and so on.
Lu Xuan let go of the talisman and carefully checked the treasures on his body once more, and when he felt that the time was almost up, he came to the location informed on the talisman.
“But Heavenly Sword Sect Senior Brother Lu Xuan Lu?”
He arrived at a flat and wide square and was looking around when an old voice came from a few feet away.
Lu Xuan followed the voice and saw a thin old man greeting himself, with two others standing beside him.
With a movement in his heart, he arrived in front of the three.
“It is none other than me, I wonder if Your Excellency is one of the Daoists who are patrolling the edge of the city in groups together this time?”
“Exactly exactly.”
A kind smile appeared on the thin old man’s face.
“Let me introduce you to Senior Brother Lu, this is Senior Brother Qiu Changguan from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, and also the leader of the group of four of us this time.”
The old man pointed to an indifferent looking youth next to him.
“Good day senior brother Qiu.” Lu Xuan smiled in greeting.
“Good day, Senior Brother Lu.”
Qiu Changguan returned the smile.
“This is Senior Sister Meng Yue from the Spirit Sky Sect, with a cultivation in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.”
The thin old man pointed to a gentle female cultivator next to him and said.
Lu Xuan and the female cultivator nodded and exchanged greetings.
“My name is Sun Yunming, from a nearby small sect called Qingyuan Sect, please take care of Senior Brother Lu in the future.”
“Fellow Daoist Sun is polite, take care of each other.”
Lu Xuan said gently with a smile.
“Fellow Daoists, we are meeting for the first time, and we will be working together for some time afterward, so introduce each other and get to know each other briefly.”
Qiu Changguan said.
“I come from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, I have rich experience in fighting and killing demonic beasts and evil spirits, I am good at controlling beasts, I control several fourth-grade spirit beasts, and in addition, I have a few good magic weapons.”
“Meng Yue from the Spirit Sky Sect, is good at making talismans, proficient in formations, and has entered several secret realms.”
“Sun Yunming of the Qingyuan Sect, no particular specialties, only has good attainments in a few middle-ranked spells, and has a detailed understanding of the outer regions of the Black Demon Abyss.”
The thin old man smiled sardonically.
“Lu Xuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect, proficient in Spirit Plants, slight knowledge of Sword Skills, rarely goes out to explore the secret realm, not much experience in combat.”
“However, in order to be able to better preserve his little life, he has spent a lot of money to prepare quite a few talismanic treasures, so he shouldn’t be dragging you all down.”
“Fellow Daoist Lu rarely explores secret realms and fights demonic beasts and evil spirits?”
Qiu Changguan asked with a slight frown of doubt at his words.
“Most of the time he stays within the clan to cultivate spiritual plants.”
Lu Xuan answered truthfully.
“Then your mid Foundation Establishment realm was all cultivated within the sect?”
“Indeed.”
Lu Xuan did not hide it, almost all of the spiritual energy in his body came from the light cluster rewards, he did not go through all kinds of fights and killings, nor did he seek all kinds of chances, and he possessed the late stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation in a smooth flow.
“How can you distribute it to a Spirit Plant Master who has bare cultivation and is not good at fighting.”
Qiu Changguan took a deep look at Lu Xuan, his expression a few shades colder, completely disregarding his face, and said bluntly.
As soon as the words fell, Sun Yunming as well as Meng Yue’s faces changed in unison, and the atmosphere became subtle for a moment.
“I don’t know, it’s up to Senior Brother to inquire about the relevant matters of the Daoists.”
Lu Xuan’s demeanor was composed, as if he did not hear the dislike in the indifferent youth’s tone.
“Fellow Daoist Lu please don’t worry too much, Senior Brother Qiu Changguan doesn’t mean any harm with these words.”
“As far as I know, among the three Daoists assigned to Senior Brother last time, one of them was also a Spiritual Planter status, and seldom went out to hone his experience in fighting, and was unlucky enough to run into a powerful demon, dying on the spot, and dragging down several of Senior Brother Qiu’s people to suffer serious injuries, nearly wiping out the entire army.”
“That’s why senior brother had such a remark.”
A slight pale voice entered Lu Xuan’s ears, it was the thin old man who had been staying in the Black Star City, explaining to Lu Xuan the reason for Qiu Changguan’s behavior.
“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Sun, it doesn’t matter how Fellow Daoist Qiu sees me, it won’t affect the patrol mission afterward.”
Lu Xuan was clear about the concerns in the old man’s mind and transmitted his voice to him.
