Chapter 1084: The Hundred Crafts Sword Peak's Unwillingness to Freeload
With a thought, a deep yellow smoke slowly emerged from the Gluttonous Worm Pouch.
As the smoke shifted and changed, faint silhouettes could be seen, layer upon layer, depicting the mundane lives of countless beings.
"It's somewhat similar to the scenes within the Yellow Rice Pillow, but I wonder what its specific function is."
Lu Xuan marveled inwardly and carefully stored away the deep yellow smoke.
Having experienced entering the Yellow Rice Township once and with the Yellow Rice Pillow as a backup, he decided to venture into it again during his free time to temper his divine soul and will.
Hundred Crafts Sword Peak.
Xu Wenbo was inspecting several Sword Mystic Hedgehogs that had returned to the Sword Peak.
Although the Sword Mystic Hedgehogs belonged to the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak, they were mostly left to roam freely, spending most of their time wandering around the Sword Sect, collecting discarded flying swords, spirit mines, and sword energy treasures.
After the Corpse Demon Energy had invaded the Sword Mystic Hedgehogs' bodies, the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak had become more cautious. They regularly checked on the hedgehogs, fearing another unexpected incident.
Xu Wenbo summoned one of the Sword Mystic Hedgehogs, his palm wrapped in a layer of dark metal, carefully sensing the numerous sword blades on the hedgehog's body.
"Why is its condition so good? The average quality of its sword blades has improved significantly compared to before. Could it have obtained a high-grade flying sword or spirit mine somewhere in the Sword Sect?"
Puzzled, he retracted his dark palm and continued to examine the next Sword Mystic Hedgehog.
The Sword Mystic Hedgehog slightly turned, revealing its sharp and awe-inspiring sword blades to Xu Wenbo.
"Strange, its condition is still excellent, and the quality of its sword blades is exceptionally high, which is quite rare."
Xu Wenbo's confusion deepened as he continued to inspect the remaining Sword Mystic Hedgehogs.
"What's going on with this one? The quality of the sword blades it has derived is unheard of."
The last one to be inspected was the Sword Mystic Hedgehog that had already enjoyed Lu Xuan's Daoist Mansion several times.
At this moment, every section of its sword blades was extremely sharp, as if they had been meticulously forged by the most renowned blacksmiths of the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak.
The Sword Mystic Hedgehogs consumed various sword energy treasures, digesting and absorbing them to form sword-like spikes on their bodies. These spikes were semi-finished products of sword casting, which needed to be collected using a special method and then carefully forged into flying swords.
However, the sword blades formed on this Sword Mystic Hedgehog's body, especially the high-quality ones, were not much different from finished flying swords.
Having raised these Sword Mystic Hedgehogs for many years, Lu Xuan could communicate with them on a basic level.
"You mean you all went to Lu Xuan, the Master Lu who helped you deal with the Corpse Demon Energy before?"
"In his Daoist Mansion, there's a mystic sword sheath that can nourish your sword blades?"
Xu Wenbo asked in disbelief.
"What kind of sword sheath could have such a miraculous effect?"
"You guys, always going to Master Lu's place and occupying his treasures, that's not right!"
His thoughts raced.
"This won't do. I must inform Uncle Chen and make amends to Master Lu."
Xu Wenbo instructed his fellow disciples to take care of the Sword Mystic Hedgehogs and transformed into a sword light, ascending to the peak of the Sword Peak.
Chen Bingxue had recently forged a sixth-rank flying sword and had more free time on his hands. Xu Wenbo didn't have to exert much effort to find him.
"Master Xu, you said that Master Lu, who discovered the Corpse Demon Energy, has a sword sheath treasure that can nourish the sword blades on the Sword Mystic Hedgehogs' bodies?"
Chen Bingxue listened carefully to Xu Wenbo's account, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"That's right, Uncle Chen. I communicated with the Sword Mystic Hedgehogs, and it's indeed Master Lu."
That Mystic Sword Sheath, although it couldn't elevate the sword blade to a higher rank, achieving a qualitative ascension, was genuinely nourishing the Sword Mystic Hedgehog.
Xu Wenbai quickly spoke up, "Having even a sliver of effect is already good. Even if it's not as effective as it was initially, accumulating over time will still be extremely beneficial."
Chen Bingxue nodded slightly.
"Those few Sword Mystic Hedgehogs have been occupying Lu Shidi's treasure, taking advantage of it so much. We must express our gratitude to Shidi to avoid being talked about behind our backs for being ungrateful."
Xu Wenbai's eyes flickered as he was about to leave, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Should we offer to buy it from Shidi at a high price?"
"You can mention it casually and see if Shidi is interested. If he is, as long as it's within the means of Sword Peak, it's not a problem."
Chen Bingxue had more than a little interest in the sword sheath in Lu Xuan's hand.
The Sword Mystic Hedgehog held an extremely high status within the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak, and obtaining that sword sheath would greatly benefit their growth, which would, in turn, benefit the Sword Peak as well.
However, Lu Xuan was a fellow disciple from the Sword Sect, and he was also highly regarded by the True Sword Master. Therefore, they couldn't and wouldn't dare to have any greedy thoughts.
Three days later, Chen Bingxue and Xu Wenbai arrived at the True Sword Peak together.
"Lu Shidi, I'm Xu Wenbai from the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak, and I've come with Uncle Chen to visit you."
Xu Wenbai had been to Lu Xuan's Daoist mansion once before, and seeing that the white ape guarding the entrance was no longer there, he actively transmitted his voice into the depths of the mansion.
Inside the mansion, Lu Xuan, who was cultivating spirit plants, looked perplexed.
"Why have Uncle Chen and Xu Shixiong from the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak come?"
He flashed forward and quickly reached the entrance of the mansion.
"Lu Xuan greets Uncle Chen and Xu Shixiong! Please forgive me for not receiving you properly!"
He politely greeted Chen Bingxue, who was at the forefront.
Chen Bingxue smiled and spoke gently, "Shidi, there's no need for such formality."
Lu Xuan welcomed the two into the mansion.
"Shidi, the reason we've come this time is to express our gratitude to you."
After sitting down, Chen Bingxue smiled and said to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan subconsciously asked in a soft voice, "Gratitude?"
Recently, he had been staying in the mansion, cultivating spirit plants and preparing for his breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm. He hadn't had any interactions with the fellow disciples from the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak.
The only thing the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak was grateful for was something that had happened years ago when they helped resolve the Corpse Demon Energy that had invaded the Sword Mystic Hedgehog.
"Have those few Sword Mystic Hedgehogs been bothering Shidi's cultivation and spirit plant cultivation?"
Chen Bingxue asked with a smile.
"So that's it!"
Lu Xuan suddenly realized.
He had lured the Sword Mystic Hedgehogs over and, under the pretext of body maintenance, allowed the sword sheath to be permeated by the sword blades on their bodies. Occasionally, he would even receive sword energy treasures from them.
He had already gained a lot, but the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak was still sending a Primordial Spirit True Monarch to personally express their gratitude?
This made Lu Xuan, who had always been a freeloader, feel a bit embarrassed.
Of course, with the treasure right before his eyes, that tiny bit of guilt instantly vanished.
