Chapter 1041: 'Accidental' Exposure
Chapter 1041: 'Accidental' Exposure
Seeing that Lu Xuan had made up his mind, Chen Yuqiu had no choice but to put away the pile of spirit stones.
"If you ever need the Chen family in the future, just ask, and our entire clan will spare no effort to help you."
He solemnly promised.
"Alright, no problem."
Lu Xuan casually agreed, as the sword soul in the Heart Sword Lake was indeed something he needed the Chen family's help with.
"Cultivate diligently within the Sword Sect, and always remember the kindness of Brother Lu."
Before leaving, Chen Yuqiu instructed Chen Qingshuang.
Chen Qingshuang nodded silently, keeping it in mind.
After the two left, Lu Xuan took out the jade token and examined it carefully.
Whether it was the 100,000 low-grade spirit stones or this fifth-rank jade token that Chen Yuqiu had taken out, he didn't pay much attention to them. It was only because the latter might be related to the sword soul left behind by Chen Xiao Bai that he reluctantly accepted it.
"Next time the Heart Sword Lake opens, I'll use this jade token to lure and test it out, and see if I can dispel the obsession in the sword soul's heart and make it my own."
After the Chen family left, he returned to his peaceful and serene farming life.
Every day, he cultivated spirit plants, raised spirit beasts, watched the White Ape, Thunder Dragon Cub, and Green Mountain Qilin spar, and in his free time, he drew sword talismans, brewed spirit brews, nurtured magical artifacts, and cultivated several rare divine abilities.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and in the spirit field, another sword grass had fully matured.
The Silver Sword Grass pointed towards the sky, thunder rumbled, and the thunder light danced like slender silver snakes.
"A fifth-rank Thunder Sound Sword Grass has matured again."
Lu Xuan carefully plucked it from the spirit soil, took a quick look, and then focused his gaze on the quietly appearing white light ball.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light ball.
[Harvested one fifth-rank Thunder Sound Sword Grass, obtained the Sword Dao Divine Ability: Thunder Sound.]
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, a silver-white thunderbolt in the shape of a sword blade descended from the sky, and the rolling thunder echoed in his mind sea, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
The thunder rumbled endlessly, and it was a long time before it subsided.
Lu Xuan had a sudden realization, and his understanding of the Thunder Sound sword technique became even deeper and more profound, as if he had devoted himself to its study for many years.
"Another experience package for the Thunder Sound sword technique."
Lu Xuan opened his eyes, and a flash of silver-white light seemed to pass through his eyes.
A white bone killer sword appeared in his hand, and with a casual wave, a sword qi filled with killing intent shot out, carrying the power of thunder, and struck a huge black stone.
The stone, located in the Sword Peak where sword qi was dense, had long been tempered to be extremely hard, but when the sword qi landed on it, it easily pierced through it like tofu, and the stone shattered into countless fragments under the Thunder Sound.
"Compared to last time, the speed of the Thunder Sound sword qi is faster, and its power is also much stronger."
Lu Xuan secretly compared it.
"With this experience package for the Thunder Sound sword technique, I'm getting further and further on the path of a sword master."
He shook his head and smiled, continuing to examine the remaining fifth-rank sword plants.
After harvesting three of them, there were still seven left, with two each of the White Bone Killer Sword Grass and Thunder Sound Sword Grass, and three Light Splitter Shadow Dancer Sword Grass. It wouldn't take too long for them to fully mature.
"Eight Essence Spirit Ginsengs, and the growth progress of the seven plants is almost the same, except for this one, which seems a bit out of place."
Lu Xuan came to another spirit field and looked at a completely mature pure white spirit ginseng, feeling conflicted.
This Essence Spirit Ginseng was planted earlier than the other seven, so it matured ahead of time.
"I haven't received a cultivation reward in a long time, and my spirit energy has almost stagnated. I must harvest this Essence Spirit Ginseng."
"The remaining seven will be enough for seed cultivation."
He made his decision and carefully harvested the Essence Spirit Ginseng.
With anticipation, he gently touched the surface of the light cluster.
In an instant, the light cluster silently shattered, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that soared into the sky, quickly condensing into a slender river of light and surging into his body.
[Harvested a Fifth Rank Essence Spirit Ginseng, obtained a fifty-year cultivation reward.]
A thought flashed through his mind in his Mind Sea.
Immediately, an immense amount of Spirit Energy flooded into his limbs and bones, like a raging torrent, frantically assaulting his meridians.
Lu Xuan clenched his teeth and activated his cultivation technique, swiftly absorbing and transforming the vast Spirit Energy.
"This is the feeling!"
"Diligent cultivation, coupled with the small reward from the light cluster."
Feeling the incredibly rich aura in his Dantian and the golden pill constantly expanding and contracting, a smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face.
"A fifty-year cultivation reward, I'm one step closer to the Primordial Spirit stage."
His talent was too mediocre; without the light cluster, the possibility of breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage was minuscule. Although he had consumed and refined many treasures to improve his constitution, his innate talent could only be considered above average, still falling short of a true cultivation genius.
"Compared to Senior Brothers Wan Zhong and Zhou Chao, my fifty-year cultivation might not match their twenty years of practice. Compared to Senior Brother Mo Yuanfeng, it might be equivalent to his ten years."
"However, my advantage lies in the light cluster, and I can soon start mass-cultivating the Essence Spirit Ginseng, which will be the time to catch up or even surpass them."
"Additionally, I should find a suitable opportunity to reveal my current Core Formation completion cultivation realm, laying the groundwork for my future advancement to the Primordial Spirit stage."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
"If I go to harvest these few Essence Spirit Ginsengs again, I'll just chop off my hand."
He carefully nurtured the Spirit Plants in his Spirit Field and returned to his room to cultivate.
Seven days passed, and Yuan Rong came to his cave mansion again to purchase Sword Talismans and True Sword Serum.
As they had already collaborated several times, they proceeded directly to the main topic.
"Hmm? Junior Apprentice Lu, the number of Sword Talismans you've drawn this time is less than the last."
Yuan Rong's divine sense swept over, and he spoke with surprise.
"Senior Uncle Yuan, recently, my cultivation reached a critical juncture, and most of my attention was focused on that. I had less time for drawing Sword Talismans and brewing Spirit Brew."
"But rest assured, Senior Uncle, it will return to normal soon."
Lu Xuan spoke sincerely, his voice carrying a hint of apology.
"Junior Apprentice has broken through to Core Formation completion? Congratulations!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Rong's spiritual awareness scanned Lu Xuan's body.
Under the appropriate concealment of the Golden Thread Thunder Robe, Yuan Rong, who was at the Primordial Spirit stage, instantly discerned that Lu Xuan had already reached the Core Formation completion stage.
"I'm just lucky. I stay in my cave mansion every day, either cultivating Spirit Plants or practicing cultivation techniques, using the time that other fellow disciples spend exploring secret realms and refining Mystic Techniques."
"Moreover, after the grand competition, the Sword Master granted me a bottle of Fifth Rank Essence Spirit Pill, which can rapidly enhance my Spirit Energy and significantly shorten my cultivation time."
Lu Xuan explained modestly, providing a reasonable explanation that left no room for doubt.
"Regardless, the Core Formation completion realm is now a fact, and many Inner Sect Disciples may not be able to reach this realm in their entire lives."
"Junior Apprentice can accumulate Spirit Energy while searching for feasible methods to advance to the Primordial Spirit stage."
"You can go to the Scripture Pavilion to study the experiences of the Sword Sect's past Primordial Spirit cultivators, or you can directly ask any Primordial Spirit cultivator from the True Sword Peak, including me."
"If the Sword Master learns that Junior Apprentice has already achieved the Core Formation completion stage, he will likely prepare a Spirit Object for your Infant Formation."
"As for the Sword Talismans and True Sword Serum, you can set them aside for now."
Yuan Rong said with a smile.
