Chapter 1032: A Field in the Heart Sword Lake
Chapter 1032: A Field in the Heart Sword Lake
"In ninth place, the Purple Heaven Sword Peak."
The Sword Disciple's expressionless voice echoed, and his figure immediately disappeared.
The Purple Heaven Sword Master's face was hidden behind a veil of purple mist, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
"The True Sword Peak's luck is indeed remarkable. They managed to find such a powerful Spirit Herb Master."
The Clear Subtlety Sword Master nodded in praise.
All eight people present were well aware of the True Sword Peak's capabilities in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, and they were surprised by its improvement in the Sword Peak Grand Competition.
"In my opinion, the main reason for the True Sword Peak's success is the improved Thousand Thunder Swordgrass and the Minor Mystic Sword Gourd, especially the latter, which probably earned them many extra points."
The Tranquil Void Sword Master fanned himself leisurely, speaking with a relaxed and content expression.
"Improving high-grade swordgrass is a rare opportunity; you won't be this lucky next time."
The Purple Heaven Sword Master spoke slowly, then transformed into a purple light that pierced through the entire Cave Heaven.
"He's in a hurry."
The True Sword Master spread his hands and laughed.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Although he had been cultivating for hundreds of years, his will had already been tempered countless times, as solid as a rock, the Sword Peak Grand Competition was a top priority within the Sword Sect. It was impossible not to care about it.
After taking over the True Sword Peak, he had consistently ranked last several times, which was difficult for him to accept, given his outstanding performance and pursuit of excellence since the beginning of his cultivation journey.
In the path of cultivation, competition was constant. This time, the Sword Peak Grand Competition's improved ranking not only meant redeeming past failures but also represented the peak's ability to acquire a large number of cultivation resources.
Just thinking about this, the True Sword Master couldn't help but feel a sense of lightness, and even the pair of silver-white flood dragons behind him seemed more spirited.
True Sword Peak.
After Lu Xuan's competition, he returned to his Cave Mansion to focus on nurturing spirit plants.
In the back of the Cave Mansion, dust flew, spirit energy surged, and the white ape transformed into a six-zhang-tall figure with bloodshot eyes. Its fists pounded the ground, creating a sense of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting.
Around it, a silver-white thunder light darted rapidly, and from time to time, thunderbolts as thick as arms struck the white ape.
"This old white ape, I wonder how many times it has fought with the Thunder Dragon Cub."
Lu Xuan shook his head and didn't pay attention to the white ape, which was sparring with numerous spirit beasts.
"Junior Master Lu."
Suddenly, Jianzhen Ren's gentle voice came from outside the Cave Mansion.
Lu Xuan's spiritual awareness swept through, and besides the True Sword Master, there were also Jin Zai Qian, Ye Lingkong, and several other Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"Lu Xuan greets the Sword Master and Senior Uncles."
Lu Xuan's figure flashed, and he appeared outside the Cave Mansion, welcoming them in.
"The swordgrass in your Spirit Field is growing well."
Jianzhen Ren glanced into the depths of the Cave Mansion, seemingly seeing through the formation and seal that concealed the Spirit Field.
"I work hard every day, hoping that they will all mature smoothly."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"We came here today to share some good news with you."
After everyone took their seats, Jianzhen Ren spoke.
"The Sword Peak Grand Competition has concluded, and I learned of the rankings not long ago."
"The True Sword Peak has risen two places compared to before."
"Is that so? Congratulations!"
Lu Xuan felt honored and genuinely delighted.
With the True Sword Peak's improved ranking, the resources it obtained would increase, and as an inner disciple of the peak, he would naturally receive a larger share.
"In this Sword Peak Grand Competition, Junior Master Lu, you have made outstanding contributions."
"The Thousand Thunder Swordgrass and the Minor Mystic Sword Gourd you brought are the most outstanding achievements of the Sword Peak in the past thirty years."
"In addition, the spirit plants, spirit brews, and talismans you participated in all received the extremely valuable Superior Grade evaluation, instantly raising the average score significantly."
Jin Zai Qian spoke slowly, his expression full of affirmation for Lu Xuan.
"Senior Uncle Jin, you're too kind."
"It's all thanks to the leadership of the Swordmaster and the united efforts of the Senior Uncles and fellow disciples participating in the grand competition that we've achieved such progress."
Lu Xuan humbly replied.
"Hahaha, Junior Master Lu, there's no need to be so modest."
Jianzhen Ren laughed heartily.
"This achievement is all yours, and no one can take that away."
"With this improvement in ranking, our Sword Peak has greatly benefited."
"As the one who contributed the most, you must be rewarded handsomely."
"Tell me, what do you desire? Whether it's cultivation techniques, magical treasures, or pills, we can fulfill your wishes."
Jianzhen Ren spoke with great generosity.
Lu Xuan paused for a moment before speaking, "I do have a small request to trouble the Senior Uncles."
"I've been attempting to cultivate a new type of swordgrass, and although the spiritual energy on Sword Peak is pure and abundant, it's still not enough to induce mutations in spirit plants and spirit seeds."
"Therefore, I'd like to find a sanctuary within the sect with dense sword qi, which will facilitate the transformation of the spirit seeds."
He spoke with a serious expression.
"Cultivating a new swordgrass? Of what rank? And what are the chances of success?"
Jianzhen Ren's curiosity piqued, and the others nearby, including Jin Zai Qian, shared his interest.
"The plan is to cultivate a Fifth Rank swordgrass, but it's just an idea for now."
"As for the chances of success, it's too early to tell. After all, cultivating a Fifth Rank swordgrass is incredibly challenging, and it might take years without any progress."
Lu Xuan carefully explained, knowing that with the Nourishing Mystic Sheath, his Thunder Law divine ability, and his unique talent, cultivating a Fifth Rank swordgrass spirit seed was only a matter of time. However, he dared not speak too confidently in front of Jianzhen Ren.
"A Fifth Rank swordgrass... there's no need to rush. Take your time. If it doesn't succeed in thirty years, then we'll try for sixty or ninety years."
Jianzhen Ren smiled encouragingly.
"From now on, whatever you desire, everyone on Sword Peak will do their best to fulfill."
"As for the sanctuary you mentioned, I happen to have one in my possession, which I'd like to give to you."
"This Cave Mansion is located in the Heart Sword Lake, brimming with sword qi. It's one of my secluded cultivation sites, not far from the center of the lake. You can go there and use it directly."
"The Cave Mansion isn't too spacious, but it's more than enough to cultivate a Spirit Field."
Jianzhen Ren's eyes shone with admiration as he looked at Lu Xuan.
He had initially thought that Lu Xuan would ask for a rare divine ability, a mid-grade magical treasure, or high-grade pills, but Lu Xuan merely wanted a sanctuary rich in sword qi.
His sole purpose was to cultivate a new type of Fifth Rank swordgrass.
What a noble aspiration!
If a new Fifth Rank swordgrass could be cultivated, the ranking of the True Sword Peak would improve significantly in the next or subsequent grand competitions.
"We can aim for the top six, and with a little more effort, breaking into the top three isn't impossible."
Jianzhen Ren couldn't help but indulge in his imagination.
"By the way, it's been some time since you broke through to the Core Formation Late-stage, hasn't it?"
"Feel free to experiment with your cultivation methods, and I'll find some high-grade pills to enhance your spiritual power. Perhaps they can help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Then, with an extended lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, you'll have ample time to nurture your beloved spirit plants."
"Consider the Cave Mansion in the Heart Sword Lake as my gift to you for improving the swordgrass. I'll also find a Seventh Rank swordgrass spirit seed as a reward for your performance in the grand competition."
Jianzhen Ren spoke with a solemn voice.
"Thank you, Senior Uncle!"
With the issue of the sanctuary resolved, Lu Xuan was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.
