Chapter 1036: The Seven Slaying Sword
"It's the thought that counts."
Lu Xuan smiled as he spoke.
The reason he treated those around him this way was simply because he had too many treasures.
Being able to utilize a small portion of them to help those close to him break through their cultivation and solve their problems was something that gave him immense satisfaction, and whether they returned the favor or not wasn't as important.
However, cultivators usually valued cause and effect, and those who had received his favors in the past often brought him rare Spirit Seeds or corresponding treasures.
Before Bai Li Jian Qing left, Lu Xuan gave him numerous Spirit Brews, Sword Talismans, and other treasures, asking him to take them back to the store.
"After hiring a few more people, things have become much more convenient. I don't have to waste time running back and forth."
Lu Xuan escorted Bai Li Jian Qing to the entrance of his cave mansion and watched as his figure disappeared into the ocean of sword Qi, sighing in admiration.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, and everything in the cave mansion was as usual, with several high-level Spirit Plants just a step away from maturity.
On this day, as Lu Xuan was inspecting all the Spirit Plants, a white ape's howl sounded from outside.
"Huo Lin Er from the Hundred Trades Sword Peak has come to visit."
"Senior Brother Huo!"
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face as his body transformed into a stream of light and appeared at the entrance of the cave mansion.
Huo Lin Er, due to his innate Fire Spirit body, chose to join the Hundred Trades Sword Peak, which specialized in artifact crafting, after reaching the Core Formation stage.
Before the Sword Peak Grand Competition, he had accepted a mission from the sect and left to guard a sacred ground. In a flash, six or seven years had passed since they last met.
"Senior Brother Huo, it's been a long time, and your strength has improved significantly."
Lu Xuan looked at Huo Lin Er, who was wearing a fiery red Daoist robe and had a child-like appearance, and smiled as he spoke.
"It's not bad, but the gap between us is just too big."
Huo Lin Er spoke in a deep voice, his tone mature and contrasting with his innocent-looking face.
"I just returned from outside, and I heard that you, Senior Brother Lu, made a big splash in the Sword Peak Grand Competition, even obtaining three Superior Grade scores."
As they walked side by side into the cave mansion, his face was filled with envy.
Suppressing countless cultivation geniuses from the nine Sword Peaks, and even leaving the Primordial Spirit True Monarch behind, was something he wouldn't dare to imagine, but Lu Xuan had achieved it effortlessly.
"Just luck."
"The Spirit Brew is too niche, and not many fellow disciples participated in the competition. As for Talisman Crafting, I happened to be proficient in drawing several Sword Talismans, and I didn't expect to get a high score from the Sword Palace Elder."
"As for Spirit Plants, I've had over a hundred years of cultivation experience, so getting that score wasn't surprising."
Lu Xuan spoke humbly.
The two entered the courtyard's pavilion and quietly savored the Spirit Brew while enjoying Spirit Fruits.
"Senior Brother Huo, how was your recent mission to guard the sacred ground?"
"It was a close call, but we made it."
"That sacred ground is in an extremely remote location and has been over-developed. The cultivation resources it produces are of little use to the sect, but they still have some value, so we've been keeping it under control."
"However, it's highly attractive to many surrounding forces, and we occasionally encounter some petty villains, but they're all eliminated by me and the other fellow disciples."
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Huo Lin Er's eyes.
"Are there other sects eyeing the sect's sacred grounds?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Junior Brother, since you've been in the sect for so long, you're not aware of the dangers in the cultivation world."
"For a tiny bit of resources, even if it means risking their lives, cultivators will give it a try. It's not just the former sacred grounds, but even dangerous places filled with evil and ferocious beasts can't stop those cultivators who are determined to rise."
Huo Lin Er spoke with a hint of envy in his tone, admiring how well the sect protected Lu Xuan.
"I've been busy cultivating Spirit Plants and haven't had the chance to go out and explore."
Lu Xuan gave a dry laugh.
"Although the Sword Sect has absolute control over the Dongxuan World, there are still some corners where shadows can grow, and it's difficult to reach every nook and cranny with a whip."
"Those places aren't very peaceful, and some are even beyond the reach of the Sword Sect."
Huo Lin'er sighed.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
With the existence of the light orb, the number of times he ventured out to explore secret realms and seek opportunities could be counted on one hand.
After all, taking risks didn't guarantee finding treasures, and even if he did, it was highly unlikely that they would be better than the orb's rewards. There was no need to venture out.
"It's good to have a giant like the Cave Profound Sword Sect to protect a small Spirit Herb Master like me."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Compared to the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Cave Profound Sword Sect was hundreds of times stronger. Just the ninth-rank Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Array was a testament to its power, not to mention the difference between Divine Transformation Power, Primordial Spirit True Monarch, and Nascent Soul True Monarch.
This gave him a deep sense of security.
"As long as the Sword Sect stands, I'll keep cultivating."
...
After sitting for a while, Huo Lin'er bid farewell and left.
Lu Xuan returned to his Spirit Field and continued to inspect the various spirit plants.
"There's a fully mature Bone White Killer Swordgrass."
He focused his attention and noticed that the semi-transparent progress bar below one of the Bone White Killer Swordgrass plants was completely filled.
Lu Xuan's palm turned into a crystal jade color, and he carefully pulled out the bone-white swordgrass filled with murderous intent.
"Heavenly Born Killing Sword."
He examined the bone-white swordgrass in his hand. The swordgrass was filled with killing intent, as if placing him in a bloody battlefield, and his murderous intent gradually emerged.
After storing it in the Gluttonous Bug Pouch, this strange feeling finally dissipated.
He glanced at the faintly flashing white light orb and reached out to touch it lightly.
The orb silently shattered, and countless tiny specks of light shot up into the sky, instantly condensing into a slender light river that flowed into Lu Xuan's body.
[Harvested a Fifth Rank Bone White Killer Swordgrass and obtained a Sixth Rank Flying Sword, Seven Slaying Sword.]
A thought flashed through his mind, and a uniquely shaped flying sword appeared before Lu Xuan.
The flying sword was extremely slender and blood-red all over, with blood-colored light constantly circulating as if it had been soaked in blood for countless years. The hilt had a floating character 'Kill', and the killing intent was so strong that it seemed to physically invade Lu Xuan's skin.
Focusing his attention, he instantly gained detailed information about this blood-red flying sword.
[Seven Slaying Sword, Sixth Rank Flying Sword, forged and tempered in endless killing intent by refining a large amount of Sixth Rank Blood Drinking Stone. The sword's aura contains a powerful killing intent, capable of unsettling an opponent's mind and causing chaos in their thoughts. When the sword's energy enters the body, it can instantly stiffen the flesh and blood.]
"A Sixth Rank flying sword is already quite good."
Lu Xuan examined the slender blood-red sword in his hand, feeling satisfied.
He currently possessed numerous flying swords and cultivated swordgrass, but high-rank ones were few and far between.
Up until now, only the Peacock Mingwang Sword, which had been refined into a low-grade spiritual treasure, and the Light Splitter Shadow Dancer Swordgrass, which he found mysterious and handy, were the most powerful sword techniques he had.
The most formidable technique in his sword path was undoubtedly the Sixth Rank Thousand Thunder Sword Array.
Now, this Sixth Rank Seven Slaying Sword was a great addition, and when combined with the Slaying Sword Scripture, it was even more effective.
"It's good enough to use as a temporary replacement."
Lu Xuan thought to himself. In his Spirit Field, he had cultivated the Sixth Rank Hexadimensional Star-Shift Sword Grass, seven stalks of Sixth Rank Azure Profound Life and Death Swordgrass, and even the Freedombound Boundless Swordgrass. He wouldn't have to worry about lacking high-rank sword weapons in the future.
"Speaking of which, the rewards from swordgrass-type spirit plants are indeed extraordinary."
He remembered that when he was in the Thunderfire Star Cave, he had cultivated a Bone White Killer Swordgrass to maturity and obtained the Sixth Rank Sword Dao treasure, the Dongxuan World Stele. Now, with the Seven Slaying Sword, he was more than satisfied with both treasures.
