Lu Xuan bid Shen Ye farewell, full of excitement from his harvest, he returned to his accommodation.
Inside, twenty-two Sword Grass Spirit Seeds laid on a wooden table.
At first glance, they looked like twenty small flying swords. Upon careful inspection, the differences became evident.
The two-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed was greyish-black and long like a sword.
Meanwhile, the surface of the three-grade Starlight Sword Grass Spirit Seed had nearly invisible points of starlight. When imbuing it with Spiritual Sense, it felt like stepping into the vast night sky, surrounded by twinkling stars. The sharpness of the starlight threatened to pierce Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense.
The four-grade Sword Thousand Owls Spirit Seed was strangely shaped. The seed had many tiny branches and nimble ends, on which rested dozens of distinct, grain-sized owls. Their legs were non-existent, their bodies directly fused into the branches, and the open wings looked like swords as thin as hair strands.
Embedding the Starlight Sword Grass Spirit Seed and the Sword Thousand Owls Spirit Seed into the Spirit Soil, he obtained detailed information about both Spiritual Plants.
[Starlight Sword Grass, third-grade Spiritual Plant cultivated from Starlight Sword Qi. When mature, the Sword Grass contains minute Star Power, which can be used directly or be refined into a corresponding third grade Flying Sword.]
[Sword Thousand Owls Sword Grass, fourth-grade Spiritual Plant cultivated by stimulating and nurturing with Thousand Owls Sword Qi. When mature, the Spiritual Plant can differentiate into numerous forbidding ancient owl-shaped Sword Intents. The Sword implement possesses a certain Spiritual Nature and can serve as the Primordial Flying Sword or Magic Treasure.]
“As expected, Sword Grass is the crux of the Sky Sword Sect’s Sword Hall. Whether it’s the three-grade Starlight Sword Grass or four-grade Sword Thousand Owls Sword Grass, both possess their unique peculiarities.”
Lu Xuan silently sighed, pleased in his heart. The more bizarre the three and four-grade Sword Grass, the heavier the rewards he reaps upon maturing them.
After understanding the peculiarities of the two high-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, Lu Xuan wasn’t in a rush to plant them.
The Starlight Sword Grass and Sword Thousand Owls Sword Grass required corresponding Sword Qi for nurturing. At the very least, he needed a shallow understanding of the two Sword Techniques before cultivating them.
He pressed the Jade Slip inscribed with a method to refine the two-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed to his forehead. Imbuing it with his Spiritual Sense, he was hit with a flood of information in his mind.
The timing for condensing the Sword Grass Spirit Seed, the processing method, the seed-collecting technique, the storage method, and so on.
Lu Xuan stood quietly for a long time before fully absorbing the information in his mind.
After that, he absorbed the content of the other two Jade Slips into his mind, gaining a preliminary understanding of the Stairlight Sword Technique [Three Class] and the Thousand Owls Sword Technique [Four Class].
Concerning the remaining twenty two-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, he intended to partly use them for regular nurturing, whereas the rest are placed in Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, and nurtured over time with Wind and Thunder Sword Blades, thereby creating three-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.
“Unfortunately, causing the two-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed to mutate into a three-grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed requires a substantial amount of Sword of Wind and Thunder Blade and a considerable duration.” Lu Xuan thought with some regret.
However, there was a need to produce as much Wind Thunder Sword Grass as possible, not only for rich rewards, but also to serve as experimental subjects for Lu Xuan, with which to fumblingly work out the method of condensing Wind Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.
By then, truly systematic cultivation of Wind Thunder Sword Grass in batches could commence, rather than merely relying on placing it in a Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath and waiting for its successful mutation.
He buried ten Sword Grass Spirit Seeds into the Spirit Soil, permeated each seed with Sword Qi as thin as hair strands and stimulated the seeds to successful incubation.
After a tour of the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan left the Inner Sect to visit Baili Jianqing’s accommodation.
After Lu Xuan’s promotion to Inner Sect Disciple, the chances of them meeting had considerably declined, only when Lu Xuan occasionally went out could they meet.
“Sword Qing, open the door.”
He had already contacted Baili Jianqing with a Communication Talisman, so he directly called out.
“Brother Lu!” freewebnøvel.coɱ
A delicate-looking young man poked his head through the door crack, at the sight of Lu Xuan, he squinted his thin, elongated eyes in delight.
Lu Xuan entered the courtyard and put down some Flaming Fruits and Ice Luo Fruits that he brought.
“These are Spiritual Fruits that I personally cultivated, they taste good, you try.”
“Wow! Thank you, Brother Lu!”
Surrounded by the dense spiritual power of the two Spiritual Fruits, Baili Jianqing exclaimed in surprise and joy.
For the sake of cultivation, one may often consume second-grade Elixirs, but second-grade Spirit Fruits are less common. After all, one doesn’t often reach the stage where second-grade Spirit Fruits become their snacks.
“How has your recent cultivation been? It seems to me that your Cultivation Level has considerably progressed.”
Lu Xuan sat down and asked Baili Jianqing.
“I recently entered the Qi Cultivation Perfection Stage and am currently preparing for the Foundation Establishment. To this extent, I even specially requested a large amount of funds from my father.”
Baili Jianqing chuckled while talking.
” Hmm. You must ensure to adjust yourself to your best condition. Only when your spiritual power, spiritual sense, and flesh body entirely integrate as one can you breakthrough successfully in one shot.”
Lu Xuan shared his own experiences with breakthroughs, his impression of Baili Jianqing being quite positive.
The two of them had known each other even before they entered the Sky Sword Sect. Their interactions were harmonious and natural. Having known each other for many years now, they could be considered to be the closest acquaintances Lu Xuan has within the Sky Sword Sect.
“The day when I have a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm will be the day when I bring you along with me to soar.”
Baili Jianqing’s impression of Lu Xuan was that of a sincere man, dedicated to cultivating Spiritual Plants. Even though he hadn’t had his breakthrough yet, he still spoke with unabashed boldness.
Lu Xuan let out a small smile.
“Speaking of which, I brought you a Sword Grass. Its quality is tolerable and it comes with a burning flame.”
He took out a Red Sword Grass from his Storage Bag and gave it to Baili Jianqing.
“Haha, I didn’t expect Brother Lu would remember.”
Baili Jianqing took the Sword Grass, infused it with his own spiritual power, and brandished a Sword Flower.
The Sword Qi shot out from the Red Sword Grass. A thin layer of fire attribute spiritual power could be seen on the invisible Sword Blade and a scorching hot breath could be felt from afar.
“Thankyou, Brother Lu. I really like this Sword Grass.”
Baili Jianqing came to Lu Xuan, speaking with a serious expression.
Each Sword Grass is an Innate Sword Instrument and among the Magic Artifacts of the same Rank, it is one of the foremost. According to Lu Xuan, the second-grade Sword Grass is one of the main Magic Weapons for most Foundation Establishment First-term Inner Sect Disciples.
It was a pleasant reunion after a long time and they indulged in recollecting the beautiful future ahead in their cultivation path.
Sword Hall.
A middle-aged cultivator with a profound aura, who seemed deep and vast like an ocean, walked briskly. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water would drip from it.
As he walked, the Sword Hall Disciples who encountered him would whisper greetings and then quickly lower their heads to avoid his gaze.
“Junior Brother Shen, I just heard that the remaining Fourth Grade Sword Thousand Owls Spirit Seed has been taken away by someone?”
“Is it true that it was taken by an Inner Sect Disciple who is in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment and has just entered the Sword Hall?”
The middle-aged cultivator lowered his voice, speaking each word to the gentle Shen Ye. His aura surged outward, as if something extremely terrifying was brewing within him.
The Deep Black Sword Case on Shen Ye’s back trembled slightly, isolating the aura released by the middle-aged cultivator.
He was as composed as usual, seemingly unaffected by any of this. He slowly raised his head and gently said.
“Yes, it was all thanks to my pushing for this, and Uncle Murong had no objections.”
