Chapter 1037: The Essence Spirit Pill Formula
"With more and more flying swords and swordgrass in my possession, I should retire some of the more ordinary ones from my harem and sell them in the shop."
Lu Xuan secretly thought as he stored the Seven Slaying Sword into his Gluttonous Bug Pouch.
Fourth-rank swordgrass was quite common in the Sword Sect, but the same couldn't be said for fifth-rank swordgrass. These were naturally born sword artifacts, rare and precious, and held immense appeal for sword cultivators. If he were to sell them, they could become a unique selling point for his shop.
Although he was satisfied with the Seven Slaying Sword, he had no intention of refining it into his primary spiritual treasure.
"After using it for a while, I'll reward it to that lustful sword sheath that's nurturing the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass seedling."
"This Seven Slaying Sword carries an innate killing intent, which will surely give the sword sheath an extreme experience."
"A bloodthirsty flying sword falling in love with me..."
"Since it craves excitement, I'll indulge it."
Lu Xuan thought of the increasingly strange and numerous Nourishing Mystic Sheaths in his harem, and a smile crept onto his lips.
After harvesting the Bone White Killer Swordgrass, the remaining eight fifth-rank swordgrasses were also nearing maturity.
Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry, so he didn't use the Divine Wood Green Gourd or the Primal Chaos Tree Sap.
On this day, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Sword Peak came to visit.
Lu Xuan was familiar with both of them: Jin Zai Qian, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and Ye Lingkong, an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, who had also participated in the Symbol Crafting Competition.
"Senior Jin and Senior Ye, what brings you here to seek my assistance?"
Lu Xuan greeted the two and sat down, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"There is indeed something we'd like to ask of you, Junior Lu," Jin Zai Qian coughed lightly.
"Please, Senior, speak without hesitation."
"Well, during the last Sword Peak Grand Competition, you achieved a middle-grade A rating in the talisman crafting category."
"In the Sword Peak, there aren't many disciples proficient in talisman crafting, so we humbly request that you hold a small exchange event. Gather some fellow disciples who practice talisman crafting and offer them some guidance and advice, helping them improve their talisman skills."
"This way, we can aim to raise the average score in the next Sword Peak Grand Competition."
"I have no objections, Senior."
"However, I'm only proficient in several sword talismans, so I can only share the corresponding talisman crafting methods. I'm not skilled in the others."
Lu Xuan paused for a moment before replying.
He had received various favors within the Sword Peak, and after improving his ranking in the last competition, the True Sword Master was delighted and personally rewarded him with a Sword Qi Sanctuary and a seventh-rank Freedom Boundless Sword Grass seedling. Compared to that, hosting a talisman crafting exchange was a small matter.
At most, it would occupy him for a day or two.
Furthermore, if the talisman crafting skills of the Sword Peak could be collectively enhanced, and they could secure or even advance a position or two in the next competition, as the most renowned support cultivator on the True Sword Peak, he stood to gain significantly.
"Senior, do you want me to share my experiences in spirit plant cultivation and spirit brew as well?"
Lu Xuan took the initiative to speak up.
"Not for now."
"The spirit plant cultivation cycle is too long, and it won't have much effect in a short time. You and your fellow disciples can exchange ideas among yourselves."
"As for spirit brew, there aren't many who brew it within the Sword Peak, and it has a minimal impact during the competition."
"Even if you're willing to share, it's easy for the spirit brew formula to be leaked, which might adversely affect you."
Jin Zai Qian's aged voice explained.
Lu Xuan naturally had no objections and agreed on a date with the two seniors.
"I never thought I'd reach a position where I could teach others in the Sword Sect," he muttered as he watched their figures disappear.
With ten days until the agreed-upon exchange date, Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He refocused his attention on nurturing spirit plants.
Before the exchange began, another high-grade spirit plant in his spirit field reached full maturity—the fifth-rank Essence Spirit Ginseng.
The Pure White Essence Spirit Ginseng seemed to be condensed from pure primordial energy.
The overflowing primordial energy alone formed a faint mist in the surrounding area, indicating its exceptional purity and richness.
"To pick or not to pick?"
Lu Xuan was torn.
In the spirit field, nine Essence Spirit Ginseng plants were growing, seven of which he had brought from the Cloud Void Region, and the other two had been planted early on in the Sword Sect's cave mansion.
"I'm still curious about the light orb reward."
"I'll pick this one."
In the end, he couldn't resist the intense curiosity and the wonderful feeling of a surge in cultivation, so he decided to harvest the mature Essence Spirit Ginseng.
After carefully harvesting the Essence Spirit Ginseng, his gaze fell on the quietly emerging white light orb.
He reached out and gently touched it, and the orb shattered silently like a bubble, scattering countless specks of light that instantly condensed into a slender beam, rushing into Lu Xuan's body at high speed.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested one Fifth Rank Essence Spirit Ginseng, obtained a Fifth Rank Essence Spirit Pill Formula.]
The thought vanished, and a vast amount of information flooded into Lu Xuan's mind.
"Essence Spirit Pill, a Fifth Rank spirit pill, is refined primarily from the Essence Spirit Ginseng, containing rich and pure primordial energy. After consumption, it can enhance the spiritual power within cultivators."
Lu Xuan stood in place, only managing to absorb and digest all the information after a moment.
"It's a formula experience package."
"But that's normal. The cultivation rewards from the light orbs of the Ice Firefly Grass I planted before were also minimal."
Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
Although he didn't get the desired substantial cultivation reward, obtaining the Essence Spirit Pill formula was still quite good.
So far, he had mastered only three high-grade spirit pills: the Foundation Pill, the Purifying Pill, and the slightly inferior Five Elements Pill.
The remaining low-grade pills were of too little value to be worth refining.
"The Essence Spirit Pill enhances spiritual power within cultivators, and its popularity in the cultivation world is comparable to that of the Foundation Pill, especially among high-level cultivators."
"If I can absorb more formula experience packages and improve my refinement skills for this pill, it can become my specialty, and earning a fortune daily would not be an exaggeration."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
The first formula experience package he absorbed gave him a basic understanding, but the success rate was too low. It would be best to absorb more experience packages before refining the pill.
"There are still eight Essence Spirit Ginseng plants left, and once they all mature, I can obtain no less than twenty spirit seeds."
"Finally, I can harvest a large amount of cultivation resources in bulk."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh, deciding to prepare for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Soon, the day he had agreed upon with Jin Zai Qian arrived.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Lu."
"Senior Brother Lu, you've worked hard."
There were more than thirty fellow disciples who came to participate in the exchange meeting, most of whom had met during the Sword Peak Talisman Crafting Competition.
Lu Xuan nodded in response and led everyone to a spacious open area.
The open area was already set up with numerous tables and chairs, as well as some talisman crafting aids.
"Senior Uncle Ye, why are you sitting down there? Come up and join me, Senior Uncle."
Lu Xuan invited Ye Lingkong, who was sitting below with proper etiquette.
"Today, we will determine superiority based on our Talisman Dao skills, not cultivation."
"Since my talisman crafting skills are inferior to yours, I should sit below and listen attentively to the insights of a Talisman Dao master like you."
Ye Lingkong spoke solemnly, making the other Sword Peak disciples present behave honestly, not daring to be the slightest bit unruly.
