Chapter 1049: The Perfect Sword Sheath
Chapter 1049: The Perfect Sword Sheath
"Although the nine Sword Peaks compete with each other, they are ultimately from the same sect. It is an honor for Lu Xuan to contribute a small effort to the various Shishu and Shixiong of the Hundred Trades Sword Peak."
Lu Xuan, of course, would not let the opportunity of high-grade Spirit Plants being delivered to his doorstep pass by, and he readily agreed.
"Good, then I'll leave it to you, Lu Shidi."
"With the purity of the Spirit Energy within the Sword Sect and your exceptional cultivation skills, the survival rate shouldn't be a concern."
"As for nurturing them into hundred-year Spirit Wood, it may not take fifty years, but for thousand-year Spirit Wood, that would be much more challenging."
Xu Wenbo said gently.
The Mystic Galewood didn't necessarily require years of cultivation.
The Spirit Energy within the Sword Sect was pure and dense, and Lu Xuan's cave abode was a gift from the True Sword Master. It was among the top-ranked within the Cave Profound Sword Sect.
With Lu Xuan's meticulous cultivation, it would normally take three to five decades to cultivate the wood to the sixth rank. If he were to use treasures like the Divine Wood Green Flask and Chaos Origin Tree Sap to accelerate the process, the time required would be significantly reduced.
Xu Wenbo didn't stay long and soon took his leave.
Lu Xuan watched him depart and then made his way to the Spirit Field.
He took out the Sword Refinement Shelter and, after grasping the refining method taught by Xu Wenbo, he tossed it into the air.
Instantly, the shelter rapidly expanded, transforming into a house forged from Sword Qi, enveloping the Azure Profound Life and Death Swordgrass and the Freedombound Boundless Swordgrass within.
"Thank you for the generous gift from the Hundred Trades Sword Peak. Without a Sword Qi Sanctuary, I'll have to create one myself."
Lu Xuan smiled and found an empty Spirit Field. He planted the six young Mystic Galewood seedlings into the Spirit Soil.
With a thought, the clouds above the seedlings churned, and in an instant, strands of Spirit Dew rained down, seeping into the branches and leaves.
Lu Xuan's consciousness focused on the seedlings, and a thought flashed through his Mind Sea.
[Mystic Galewood, a type of Spirit Wood, can reach the sixth rank in a hundred years and the seventh rank in a thousand years. Its texture is incredibly hard, containing pure gale energy, making it an excellent Spirit Wood for forging high-grade Magical Artifacts. During cultivation, it requires planting in Spirit Soil with a dense concentration of Gold Iron Aura.]
"The Sword Aura Spirit Field currently meets the initial needs of the Spirit Plants, but for the later stages, I'll have to obtain the appropriate Spirit Soil," Lu Xuan thought to himself.
After the Sword Qi merged with the Spirit Field, it combined with the sand and stones, generating a certain amount of Gold Iron Aura, eliminating any concerns about the early growth of the Mystic Galewood.
"Two thousand Sword Seals, the Hundred Trades Sword Peak is quite generous."
Lu Xuan glanced at the pile of Sword Seals left by Xu Wenbo on the table and put them into his Gluttonous Worm Bag.
"After the Spirit Wood matures, I'll harvest a wave of light orbs and then go to the Hundred Trades Sword Peak to collect my reward. It's a win-win situation!"
"I hope the other seven Sword Peaks will have similar cultivation requests."
Lu Xuan was delighted to have received six high-grade Spirit Plants for free.
Two months later, a Communication Talisman flew towards his cave abode.
"So, Fire Shixiong has returned to the sect and invited me and Ge Shixiong for a gathering."
After learning the details from the talisman, Lu Xuan went to Huo Lin Er's cave abode at the agreed-upon time.
"Congratulations on your safe return, Fire Shixiong!"
Lu Xuan, familiar with the place, entered Huo Lin Er's cave abode, holding two bottles of Spirit Brew and loudly offering his congratulations.
"Lu Shidi, you're too kind!"
Huo Lin Er greeted him with a smile, and Ge Pu followed with a smile.
Even after years apart, the bond between the three hadn't diminished. They chatted about Huo Lin Er's experiences in the unknown Cave Heaven.
When they reached the thrilling parts, Lu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim, as if he were reliving Huo Lin Er's adventures.
"Having the backing of a massive sect like the Sword Sect is a blessing for us cultivators."
Huo Lin Er couldn't help but express his gratitude as they continued talking.
"This time, many fellow disciples obtained countless treasures, but only a tiny fraction died or were injured. If it weren't for the support of the Sword Sect, such an outcome would never have occurred."
"The deceased and injured disciples were just unlucky." Lu Xuan couldn't help but speak up.
Although only a small portion of the disciples died in that Cave Heaven, the number of Sword Sect disciples who set out on the expedition was not insignificant.
"There's no other way. Opportunities and treasures won't fall from the sky for free. If one isn't willing to take on such risks, their cultivation journey can be said to have reached its limit here."
Huo Lin Er spoke calmly, and Ge Pu nodded in agreement beside her.
Lu Xuan raised a white jade wine cup and took a sip of the True Sword Liquid, concealing a hint of guilt deep within his heart.
After leaving Huo Lin Er's cave mansion, Lu Xuan flew at high speed in the sky. Suddenly, his Light Splitter Shadow Dancer Swordgrass paused beneath his feet, and his gaze was drawn to a strange creature not far away.
"The Sword Hedgehog has just come out to scavenge?"
The peculiar creature was the Sword Hedgehog from the Hundred Trades Sword Peak. Covered in sword blades, it walked and stopped, searching everywhere for abandoned flying swords, spirit mines, and loose sword aura, appearing very sneaky.
Upon spotting Lu Xuan's figure, it froze for a moment, then rolled like a hedgehog at high speed and rushed towards Lu Xuan.
Although its spiritual intelligence was far below that of its peers, it clearly remembered Lu Xuan, who had resolved its abnormal issue.
Of course, it also remembered the Thousand Thunder Swordgrass that Lu Xuan had fed it.
"Stop!"
Lu Xuan casually clapped his hands, and a thick stream of spiritual power surged out, isolating the Sword Hedgehog half a zhang away from him.
The Sword Hedgehog kept jumping, looking like it wanted to be petted.
"I can't do this with you acting like this."
Lu Xuan sighed and took out a Third Rank Wind Thunder Swordgrass from his storage bag, tossing it to the Sword Hedgehog.
It was unclear how the Sword Hedgehog managed to eat it, but a snapping sound was heard, and the Wind Thunder Swordgrass, a heaven-born sword artifact, split into two, with strands of lightning aura dissipating.
During the Sword Hedgehog's enjoyment of the Wind Thunder Swordgrass, Lu Xuan approached and occasionally touched the sword blade and the sharp spike.
"It's indeed a rare breed, capable of absorbing and refining abandoned flying swords and spirit mines to forge sword blades that grow outside its body."
"Speaking of which, after absorbing so many abandoned flying swords and spirit mines, do you have any fine sand containing gold and iron aura hidden inside your body?"
"If you do, I'll feed you a few more high-quality swordgrass."
Lu Xuan suddenly had a strange thought and asked curiously.
The Sword Hedgehog chewed on the swordgrass while slowly rolling around, seemingly trying to understand the meaning of Lu Xuan's words.
Soon, it stopped and sprayed out a small amount of fine sand from somewhere.
"It really does."
Lu Xuan was delighted to find that the Sword Hedgehog indeed had such sand inside it.
He gathered the fine sand, which came in various colors like pale gold, dark black, and deep red. When gathered together, one could faintly sense a sharp aura.
"After helping the Sword Hedgehog resolve its abnormality and obtaining the Mystic Galewood, I now get gold and iron sand from it, which is perfect for cultivating the Mystic Galewood. It seems everything is destined..."
Lu Xuan sighed softly.
After the Sword Hedgehog finished eating the Wind Thunder Swordgrass, Lu Xuan took out several more Third and Fourth Rank swordgrass and threw them to it.
His storage bag didn't have many other spirit plants, but it was filled with swordgrass.
"Speaking of which, with so many sword blades of different lengths and thicknesses, the Sword Hedgehog is a perfect match for that Lustful Sword Sheath!"
As he gazed at the Sword Hedgehog covered in sword blades, a strange thought popped into his mind.
The Sword Hedgehog seemed to sense something and felt an uncomfortable sensation beyond its instincts. It couldn't help but shake lightly, then focused all its attention on the swordgrass in its mouth.
