Chapter 1153: News of the Eighth Rank Swordgrass
After converting his spiritual energy into True Essence Mana, Lu Xuan stored the four Primordial Spirit Ginsengs into his Tiny Universe Scroll.
There were still twenty Primordial Spirit Ginsengs left in the Spirit Field, and aside from the ten used for seed cultivation, the rest could be harvested.
Lu Xuan planned to absorb a few more Pill Formula Experience Packages before attempting to refine the Fifth Rank Essence Spirit Pill.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the head disciple, Li Haotian, finished his seclusion and came to seek an audience.
"Haotian pays his respects to Master," he said, bowing respectfully to Lu Xuan.
"Good," Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Did you have any breakthroughs during your seclusion?"
"I gained a deeper understanding of a sword technique, but I still need to go out and temper my skills. I came to inform you of this."
"Do you have a plan?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"Yes, I've made arrangements with several trusted fellow disciples to explore a Void Mystic Realm together, hunt Star Beasts, collect treasures, and refine our sword skills at the same time." Li Haotian said solemnly.
"Just be careful," Lu Xuan advised.
"By the way, here's a Sixth Rank Formless Frost Soul Sword Talisman for you as a self-defense item. In unexpected situations, it has a good chance of slaying Nascent Soul True Monarchs and below, as well as demon beasts."
As Lu Xuan spoke, a talisman with a sharp sword intent appeared in his hand.
After all, they had a genuine master-disciple relationship, and giving a Sixth Rank Sword Talisman was nothing to Lu Xuan.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure upon me!" Li Haotian bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude.
The Sixth Rank Formless Frost Soul Sword Talisman was insignificant to Lu Xuan, but to Li Haotian, who had just broken through to the Core Formation stage, it was a rare treasure that might save his life in critical moments.
"Remember, as long as you keep yourself alive, there's a chance for everything else," Lu Xuan said, understanding that everyone had their own aspirations. If Li Haotian wanted to improve his sword skills by exploring the mystic realm, Lu Xuan wouldn't force him to stay. He just wanted to remind him.
Lu Xuan had meticulously instructed Li Haotian for several days, allowing him to go out with his fellow disciples.
In the Spirit Field, several Primordial Spirit Ginsengs were about to mature, and soon there would be another wave of cultivation rewards.
Lu Xuan patiently waited, planning to harvest multiple Light Orbs at once.
On this day, a familiar figure arrived at the mansion.
"Senior Li, it's been a while. What brings you here today?" Lu Xuan asked as he greeted Li Xuandun, whom he recognized from the auction.
"Of course, I have good news to share with Junior Brother Lu," Li Xuandun replied.
Their friendship had noticeably improved since the auction, and they occasionally enjoyed Spirit Brews together and exchanged insights on spirit plant cultivation.
"Please, Senior Brother, don't keep me in suspense," Lu Xuan said eagerly.
"Try this new Crimson Flame Lychee I've cultivated," Li Xuandun offered.
Lu Xuan smiled and brought out a tray of spirit fruits and brews. On the tray were various spirit fruits like the Water and Fire Spirit Fruit and the Bewitching Immortal Peach, along with a large crimson lychee that seemed like a ball of intensely compressed flames, emitting a faint heat.
"A Fifth Rank spirit fruit, Junior Brother, you're truly generous!" Li Xuandun exclaimed.
Fifth Rank spirit fruits for enjoyment were indeed rare.
Li Xuandun took a big bite of the crimson fruit, and instantly, a sweet and fragrant flavor filled his mouth and nose, and a warm current flowed through his body, making him feel as if he were soaking in a warm spiritual spring, extremely comfortable.
"Not bad, you truly are the most skilled spirit plant cultivator in the Sword Sect," Li Xuandun praised with a smile.
"Senior Brother is too kind," Lu Xuan replied.
"I came here to tell you something," Li Xuandun said, setting down his white jade wine cup and looking at Lu Xuan.
"Please, Senior Brother, go ahead."
"According to the latest news from the Sword Palace, a new high-grade Spirit Seed has been nurtured in the core area of the Mystic Abyss Realm, and after observation, the elders have deduced that it is very likely to be an Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed."
"An Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed?"
Lu Xuan straightened up in surprise.
"Haha, I knew you couldn't resist this, Junior Brother."
Li Xuandun laughed.
"Senior Brother, you're right. I can't contain my curiosity. For me, every rare high-grade Spirit Seed is incredibly attractive."
Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly.
"There's no need to rush, Junior Brother Lu. The Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed is still in its early stages. It will take some time to fully nurture it."
Li Xuandun explained with a smile.
"I wonder if I have a chance to obtain that Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed?"
Lu Xuan was eager to try.
Seventh Rank Spirit Seeds are extremely rare, and within the Sword Sect, only a few Sword Dao Spirit Lands like the Mystic Abyss Realm and the Heart Sword Lake have the potential to nurture them.
As for the Eighth Rank, it's even rarer. It might not even be nurtured once in a century.
If he misses this opportunity, who knows when he'll have another chance to obtain an Eighth Rank Spirit Seed.
With his extensive experience in cultivating swordgrass, he has a natural advantage in cultivating high-grade swordgrass. The light orbs produced by the swordgrass are relatively abundant, so he has a keen interest in the Eighth Rank Spirit Seed being nurtured.
"I can't guarantee it, but I can say there's a chance."
Li Xuandun paused before speaking.
"There are many fellow disciples who want the Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed, and compared to them, you have both strengths and weaknesses."
"According to common sense, it's impossible to obtain it in the early Nascent Soul stage."
"But you, Junior Brother, are beyond common sense. Your ability to cultivate swordgrass is too strong!"
"Even with a Fifth Rank Swordgrass, you have a 100% success rate, and you've independently improved new varieties like the Fourth Rank Swordgourd and Fifth Rank Swordgrass. You have a natural advantage in cultivating high-grade swordgrass."
"The disadvantage is that many of the competing fellow disciples for the Eighth Rank Swordgrass are at the middle or even late Nascent Soul stage. They've been waiting for many years, and with their stronger cultivation, they've accumulated significant contributions within the sect. So, they might be given priority."
"However, if the elders of the Sword Palace vote, I'll definitely cast my vote for you, Junior Brother."
Li Xuandun said in a low voice.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude.
"Whether it's the middle or late Nascent Soul stage, they won't take that Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed from me."
He thought to himself.
"I need to speed up the improvement of the Bone Killing Swordgrass."
This is his greatest confidence in obtaining the Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed. He must get a new Sixth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed before the Spirit Seed fully matures.
"I should also make a few more trips to the Mystic Abyss Realm to study the 'Mystic Abyss Sword Scripture' and master several powerful sword techniques. Once the Swordgrass Spirit Seed comes into the world, I'll be well-prepared."
"I can also ask the True Sword Master for help in gathering votes, and I can send some treasures to get acquainted with a few Sword Palace elders and leave a good impression."
"As a last resort, I can help the fellow disciple who obtains the Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed with cultivation. As long as I get the light orbs, I'll be content."
Lu Xuan's thoughts raced.
Of course, sending treasures isn't a good idea. After all, the Sword Palace elders are at the Nascent Soul stage, and ordinary Sixth Rank treasures won't impress them. If he sends Fifth Rank treasures, Lu Xuan himself would be reluctant, and it wouldn't be cost-effective to send too many.
