Chapter 1113: My Yearning for Progress
"The Blade Intent Slaughter Ground?"
Yuanrong fell into deep thought.
"Why does Junior Brother need such a spiritual place?"
"I want to try improving a Fifth Rank Sword Grass."
Lu Xuan spoke honestly.
"Improving high-level sword grass in the Blade Intent Slaughter Ground?"
"As far as I know, there have been Nascent Soul elders who researched sword grass, but they all ended in failure."
"When the sword grass spirit seeds are placed there, most of their structures are directly destroyed by the overwhelming slaughter blade intent. Even if a few survive, they essentially become useless."
"After numerous attempts, they had no choice but to give up. If you insist on stimulating the slaughter blade intent, you might face the same fate."
Yuanrong advised.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Yuan, for the reminder. I have an innate affinity for spirit plants and seeds, allowing me to sense their state and maintain a degree of control, preventing the complete waste of spirit seeds."
"With enough attempts, I might unexpectedly obtain a mutated spirit seed."
Lu Xuan revealed his slight talent in spirit plants.
He didn't just roughly sense the state of spirit plants; he could understand their detailed information and perceive their most subtle needs.
Additionally, when improving high-level sword grass, he had the mysterious treasure of the Cultivation Mystic Sheath, which could nurture sword grass spirit seeds and increase their chances of mutation.
Most importantly, through this unique ability, he could constantly monitor the spirit seed's state, eliminating the need to spend decades verifying the success of the mutation after the improvement.
By skipping the multiple rounds of spirit seed verification, the amount of time saved is immeasurable.
"No wonder Junior Brother has achieved so much in the way of spirit plants."
Yuanrong sighed softly.
"There is a place that meets your requirements, called the Blade Graveyard, which contains many high-level flying swords."
"These flying swords have experienced excessive slaughter, and their evil aura is thick. To dispel it would require a significant cost, making it not worth the effort."
"Therefore, the sect gathered them in the Blade Graveyard and sealed them with restrictions."
"The slaughter blade intent inside is extremely dense, constantly washing over physical bodies. Prolonged exposure might lead to hidden illnesses."
"Additionally, those with weak minds are easily influenced by the slaughter blade intent, unknowingly becoming bloodthirsty and insane."
"Consequently, the Blade Graveyard is considered one of the sect's forbidden areas, often used to punish disciples who severely violate the sect's rules. They are confined there, allowing the slaughter blade intent to wash over them."
"There are also some sword cultivators who take an extreme approach to cultivation and voluntarily enter the Blade Graveyard to nurture their sword hearts with killing intent."
Yuanrong provided Lu Xuan with detailed information about the Blade Graveyard.
"Senior Sister Yuan, if I want to enter the Blade Graveyard voluntarily, what conditions must I meet?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"It's rare for someone to voluntarily enter the forbidden Blade Graveyard. Just inform the Sword Master directly."
"Good, thank you, Senior Sister Yuan, for the information."
Lu Xuan bowed.
After a few days, he held an ancient sword sheath and in his hand was a dark token. He passed through numerous restrictions and entered an underground cave.
The dark token emitted a dense black light, which was the token given to him by the True Sword Master, allowing him easy access to this sword qi-restricted area.
"Stop shaking and come with me. Today, I'll take you to a great place to broaden your horizons."
Lu Xuan firmly held the Cultivation Mystic Sheath and sent a thought through it.
Since pulling the Cultivation Mystic Sheath from the Sword Spirit Hedgehog, it had remained in this resentful state, as if its desires were unfulfilled.
After hearing Lu Xuan's promise, the area gradually quieted down.
Lu Xuan made his way down through the cave entrance.
Countless pitch-black sword auras roared from the depths of the cave, filled with murderous intent as if an army was about to shatter Lu Xuan into pieces.
Lu Xuan's mind stirred, and a layer of faint golden thunder armor appeared on his skin, blocking all the slaughter blade intent outside his body.
The deeper he went, the denser the slaughter blade intent became, causing even the golden threads of his thunder armor to dim.
"This place will do."
Lu Xuan reached the deepest part of the cave and found a stone house with powerful restrictions. He placed the Cultivation Mystic Sheath inside.
Then, he took out the twenty White Bone Killer Sword Grass spirit seeds given by Gu Yun and slid them one by one into the sheath's opening.
The ancient sword sheath lay quietly in the stone house, allowing countless slaughter sword auras to pour in through the crack.
The incoming sword auras increased, seemingly reaching the sheath's limit.
It trembled continuously, conveying a thought filled with both joy and pain.
"Should we return to the Heart Sword Lake?"
Lu Xuan was concerned about the Cultivation Mystic Sheath's condition and asked proactively.
The tip of the sword sheath shook vigorously, indicating refusal.
This single action seemed to exhaust it, and its trembling intensified.
"If I leave it in this stone house for a while, won't this sword sheath awaken some special attributes?"
Lu Xuan stared at the ancient sword sheath, which seemed determined to stimulate it to the extreme, and a thought flashed through his mind.
He couldn't guard the Blade Graveyard at all times and could only come to check on it regularly, observing whether the White Bone Killer Sword Grass had successfully mutated.
Fortunately, before coming, he had specifically requested a stone house in the Sword Sect for confining disciples, and since disciples being punished to this forbidden area were extremely rare, he didn't have to worry about any influence on the sword sheath nurturing the sword grass spirit seeds.
After arranging for the Cultivation Mystic Sheath, he hurried back to his cave mansion and began cultivating spirit plants.
"I've had the Time Arrow for some time now. It's time to go to the Incomplete Heavenly Abyss and cultivate the spirit flower related to time in the Eighth Palace."
Lu Xuan stood in the spirit field, thinking to himself.
The only thing he needed to worry about was the three Cubic Wood plants that could affect space.
"I'll go there and back quickly, without wasting time on the road, and since the three Cubic Wood plants are still seedlings, it'll be difficult to create a spatial rift in a short time."
With this thought, Lu Xuan felt much more relaxed.
Just as he was preparing to tidy up and return to the Incomplete Heavenly Abyss.
Suddenly, a green light appeared before his eyes, and an extraordinary Green Mountain Unicorn quietly materialized in front of him.
It whispered to Lu Xuan, its voice carrying a hint of pleading.
"Master, I want to seclude myself for cultivation for a period, striving to advance to the Sixth Rank. Please grant me a Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass to aid my advancement."
The Green Mountain Unicorn had a trace of Qilin bloodline, exceptional talent, and high spiritual intelligence. It conveyed a thought to Lu Xuan.
"Do you want to defeat the White Ape?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously, as he had often seen the Green Mountain Unicorn fighting against the Thunder Dragon Pup.
But due to the White Ape's expertise in combat and rich battle experience, along with the Sea-Stabilizing Staff given by Lu Xuan, it always won, even when fighting two against one.
"Yes, I'm eager to improve."
The weakest Green Mountain Unicorn had been on the receiving end of beatings, naturally developing a strong desire to win, and its yearning to advance to the Sixth Rank became more urgent.
"Good, I'll bestow this Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass to you."
"When I return, I hope you'll have successfully advanced to the Sixth Rank."
Lu Xuan took out a Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass with a hint of a demonic beast's form and said earnestly.
