Chapter 1088: A Tremendous Surprise
Chapter 1088: A Tremendous Surprise
"Thunder Abyss Swordgrass, just one character different from Thunder Sound Swordgrass, but the effects of the swordgrass are vastly different."
"Thunder Sound Swordgrass naturally possesses sword qi thunder sound, captivating one's soul, while Thunder Abyss Swordgrass has an aggressive and relentless offensive power. Both have their unique strengths."
Lu Xuan secretly compared the Thunder Sound Swordgrass growing in his Daoist mansion.
"After more than a decade, I've finally improved and created a new Fifth Rank Swordgrass."
"Of course, according to the standard process of improving spirit plants, I still need to cultivate this Thunder Abyss Swordgrass to maturity before making the final evaluation based on its rank and effects. However, since I can know the detailed information about the spirit plant just by planting it, I skipped this step."
He thought to himself.
The only slight regret was that among the more than twenty mutated Thousand Thunder Herb Spirit Seeds, only one Fifth Rank Thunder Abyss Swordgrass Spirit Seed appeared, while the rest remained in a mutated state with unusually vigorous vitality. Perhaps there was still a chance to improve and create new Fifth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seeds.
Over the next year or so, Lu Xuan visited the Heart Sword Lake Estate every two to three months to further select two Thunder Abyss Swordgrass Spirit Seeds from the remaining mutated seeds.
All three Spirit Seeds were planted in the Spirit Field, and the first one had already taken root and sprouted, growing into a three-inch-long silvery white seedling.
"The new round of the Sword Peak Grand Competition will start soon. It's the perfect opportunity to present these three Thunder Abyss Swordgrass plants to the True Sword Peak, earn some contribution points, and receive some generous rewards in return."
Although he hadn't fully grasped the complete method of Spirit Seed Condensation, these three Thunder Abyss Swordgrass plants at least proved that the emergence of this new Fifth Rank Swordgrass wasn't a coincidence. With the experience of condensing the Thousand Thunder Herb Spirit Seeds as a reference, he could basically confirm the existence of this Fifth Rank Swordgrass.
Lu Xuan made up his mind to submit them at the right opportunity.
Half a month later.
Yuan Rong, a Nascent Soul True Monarch who often interacted with Lu Xuan within the Sword Peak, arrived at his Daoist mansion.
"Junior Lu, how has the production of the True Sword Essence been going lately?"
She smiled and asked Lu Xuan.
Since Lu Xuan was preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and the process of drawing high-rank sword charms required considerable time and mental effort, the True Sword Peak had not asked him to provide a large number of sword charms as before.
However, brewing spirit brew was different; it was much easier in comparison. Moreover, the True Sword Essence was highly beneficial to the Sword Sect disciples and was in high demand. Therefore, Yuan Rong occasionally came to purchase some True Sword Essence from Lu Xuan.
"Senior Yuan, I have something to report," Lu Xuan spoke up.
"Feel free to speak, Junior Lu."
"Recently, I unexpectedly improved and created a new Fifth Rank Swordgrass, and I'd like to hand it over to the Sword Peak for handling."
Lu Xuan said casually.
This seemingly lighthearted statement was like a thunderclap to Yuan Rong.
"Junior Lu, did you just say you improved and created a new Fifth Rank Swordgrass?"
Yuan Rong was taken aback and unconsciously repeated Lu Xuan's words.
"Similar to the Thousand Thunder Herb and Small Mystic Sword Gourd types of spirit plants?"
Finally, she added.
"That's right, similar to the Thousand Thunder Herb, but with an even higher rank. I've named it Thunder Abyss Swordgrass," Lu Xuan replied with a smile.
"Thunder Abyss Swordgrass..."
Yuan Rong extended her hand and summoned a fire phoenix illusion in front of her, which flickered with sparks as its wings flapped.
The fire phoenix illusion let out a crisp cry and transformed into a red light, rushing towards the peak of the Sword Peak.
"Junior Lu, you said you improved and created a new Fifth Rank Swordgrass?"
In less than ten breaths, Jian Xuanzhen's familiar voice could be heard from outside the Daoist mansion.
Before the voice had even faded, Jian Xuanzhen burst into the mansion in a hurry.
"Greetings, Senior Disciple."
Lu Xuan hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"No need for formalities, quickly take me to see your Spirit Field."
Sword True, the Sword Master, smiled and said to Lu Xuan.
"Please follow me, Senior Disciples."
Lu Xuan had anticipated this and led the two through several barriers to a Spirit Field where three Thunder Abyss Swordgrass plants were cultivated separately.
"It bears some resemblance to the Fourth Rank Thousand Thunder Swordgrass, so it was improved based on that?"
Although Sword True hadn't cultivated Spirit Plants for many years, his discerning eye quickly identified the connection between the Thunder Abyss Swordgrass and the Thousand Thunder Swordgrass.
"Senior Disciple is indeed perceptive. This Thunder Abyss Swordgrass is indeed an improved version of the Thousand Thunder Swordgrass."
"After obtaining the Thousand Thunder Swordgrass, Junior Disciple immediately began experimenting and improving it to create a Fifth Rank Swordgrass."
"After decades of effort and some good fortune, I finally obtained this new variety of Fifth Rank Swordgrass not long ago."
"The Swordgrass contains an extremely violent Thunder Qi, which is endless, so Junior Disciple named it Thunder Abyss Swordgrass."
Lu Xuan intentionally extended the time it took to improve the Thunder Abyss Swordgrass.
Even so, it still surprised Sword True and Yuan Rong greatly.
To improve a new Fifth Rank Swordgrass in less than a century—what about the thousands of years of effort put in by the Sword Sect?
"Judging by its vitality, it truly is a Fifth Rank Swordgrass."
After careful examination, Sword True nodded and said.
"Junior Disciple has truly given me a tremendous surprise."
He chuckled lightly.
When Lu Xuan joined the Sword Sect, he presented two new varieties of Sword-affiliated Spirit Plants: the Thousand Thunder Swordgrass and the Small Mystic Sword Gourd.
Both of these Spirit Plants were considered rare and precious Fourth Rank varieties, capable of slightly enhancing the overall strength of the Sword Sect. As a result, they became the key to True Sword Peak's rise by two ranks in the Sword Peak Grand Competition.
Such a fortunate event was a once-in-a-century occurrence, and Sword True was already satisfied with this single stroke of luck.
But he never expected that after just over three decades, Lu Xuan would present another new Fifth Rank Swordgrass.
"A Fifth Rank Swordgrass is already within the Core Formation realm. If it can be verified that it can be stably cultivated in large quantities, then the Sword Sect will truly have the potential for every Core Formation Disciple to possess a Thunder Abyss Swordgrass."
Sword True envisioned such a scenario, and his smile grew even brighter.
"With such a significant contribution, it seems that the ranking in the next Sword Peak Grand Competition will need to be raised further."
In the previous Sword Peak Grand Competition, Lu Xuan played a crucial role in the excellent results. Not only did he contribute the Thousand Thunder Swordgrass and the Small Mystic Sword Gourd, but he also achieved top grades in Spirit Plant cultivation, Spirit Brew, and talisman crafting during the Hundred Arts Competition.
In the upcoming Sword Peak Grand Competition, although Lu Xuan could still achieve high scores, True Sword Peak's performance over the past thirty years had been rather average, with no new Nascent Soul Cultivators and no other outstanding contributions.
He had already prepared for a possible drop in ranking, but Lu Xuan's surprise left him delighted.
It's a sure thing.
A thought flashed through his Sea of Consciousness.
"Junior Disciple, although it's almost certain that this is a new variety of Fifth Rank Swordgrass, we still need a detailed inspection by Li Xuanchen and others from the Sword Palace."
"After making judgments from various aspects, we can then incorporate this Thunder Abyss Swordgrass into the Sword Sect."
"At that time, Junior Disciple will also receive an extremely generous reward."
Sword True smiled and said.
"It's all up to Senior Disciple."
Lu Xuan quickly replied.
"Good, I'll call them over right now."
Behind Sword True, the silver-white dragon shadow flashed and disappeared into the void.
