Chapter 1176: Determined to Succeed
Chapter 1176: Determined to Succeed
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Spirit Field.
Dozens of Mystic Spirit Ginseng plants had entered the maturation stage, and the essence qi that had condensed above them became increasingly dense, making it seem like the entire area was shrouded in thick white mist when viewed from a distance.
Lu Xuan carefully cultivated and arrived at the Swordgrass Spirit Field area.
The numerous Fifth Rank Swordgrasses were also growing well, and he skillfully displayed the corresponding Sword Techniques, allowing countless minute sword qi to seep into the spirit plants, nourishing them thoroughly.
He finally arrived in front of the seven mutant Bone Killing Swordgrasses.
As soon as he stepped in, endless murderous sword qi rushed towards him, making him feel as if he had instantly entered an ancient battlefield filled with slaughter, and a hint of brutality emerged in his heart.
"Compared to ordinary Bone Killing Swordgrass, the scattered killing sword intent is obviously stronger, and it can even have some influence on Nascent Soul Cultivators."
A faint clear light flashed across Lu Xuan's body, and his mind instantly became clear. Looking at the seven nearly mature mutant Swordgrasses, he was satisfied.
In order to improve them as soon as possible, he didn't plan to harvest the light orbs from these seven mutants but instead intended to use them all to condense mutant spirit seeds.
The hundreds of Spike Fish he had caught in the Heart Sword Lake had shown some effect, and since Lu Xuan didn't have to shuttle back and forth between the Sword Sect and the Li Yang Realm as before, the mutant Swordgrasses grew even faster than ordinary Bone Killing Swordgrasses.
Half a year later, he successfully condensed the seven mutant Swordgrasses into seeds.
He mastered the method of condensing seeds from Bone Killing Swordgrass, and although the mutant Swordgrasses were different after the mutation, they still shared the same origin. The method of condensing seeds was similar, and with his ability to make timely minor adjustments, he successfully condensed all of them, obtaining a total of twenty-five mutant spirit seeds.
"After resting for so long, it's time to get back to work."
Lu Xuan brought the unmoving Nourishing Sword Sheath to the Sword Grave.
"If the nurturing is successful this time, I'll let you enjoy it for a while longer next time."
He made a big promise to the Nourishing Sword Sheath.
On this day, with nothing to do, he decided to visit Elder Li Xuandust of the Sword Palace.
"Lu Shidi, you've brought so much Spirit Brew again. I'm starting to feel embarrassed, Shixiong."
Li Xuandust's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Xuan carrying two full bottles of Spirit Brew from afar.
Lu Xuan was one of the top Spirit Brew masters in the Sword Sect, and whether it was the rank or quality of the Spirit Brew, no one could match him within the sect. Being able to enjoy it for free naturally made people feel delighted.
"Haha, Shixiong, there's no need to be so polite about the Spirit Brew."
Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
The two entered an elegant room and exchanged some insights on cultivating spirit plants.
"Lu Shidi, do you still remember that Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed I mentioned to you before?"
Li Xuandust suddenly spoke.
"Of course, I remember."
"I won't hide it from Shixiong, but Shidi has been eagerly hoping to obtain that spirit seed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan straightened his body.
"According to the news from the Mystic Realm, that Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed has already taken shape, and it's estimated that it will be officially cultivated within less than ten years."
"Ten years..."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.
The mutant Bone Killing Swordgrass had undergone numerous rounds of selection before it was obtained, and it was just one step away from improving into a new Sixth Rank Swordgrass. It all depended on how long it would take to kick away that final obstacle.
"I can only spur on the Sword Sheath."
He thought to himself.
"The competition for what Lu Shidi wants to obtain is quite intense."
"As far as I know, there are no less than ten Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators lined up within the sect, including two Late-stage Nascent Soul Shixiong."
"Among them, each has profound cultivation and outstanding contributions to the sect, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed fell into any of their hands.
Li Xuandust spoke in a deep voice.
"Not every Primordial Soul True Monarch in the Sword Sect possesses a Seventh Rank Swordgrass, let alone an Eighth Rank one. There are even fewer of those."
"Hence, that once-in-a-century Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed has attracted much attention."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, deep in thought.
Even in the Sword Sect, Seventh Rank Swordgrass is not common. Additionally, some Yuanling Cultivators are not adept at the Sword Dao, or they possess treasures more suitable for their cultivation level, or their previously owned Swordgrass has suffered irreparable damage. Thus, not every Primordial Soul True Monarch has a high-rank Swordgrass.
Furthermore, while the Sword Sect might have an Eighth Rank Swordgrass passed down from previous generations of Yuanling Cultivators, it is still slightly different from one personally cultivated.
Cultivating Swordgrass is a process of practicing swordsmanship and nurturing sword weapons. Successfully cultivating it to maturity signifies mastering an advanced Sword Technique to the point of perfection and obtaining an Eighth Rank sword weapon that resonates with one's heart, even suitable to become a Lifebound Treasure. Its power would be significantly greater.
"I can only try my best."
Lu Xuan sighed lightly.
In his heart, he was determined to obtain that Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed.
The Swordgrass, renowned for its abundant treasures, is of the Eighth Rank. The treasures that bloom from its Light Orb are unimaginable.
Although his cultivation and status are not as advanced as those of Mid-stage or Late-stage Nascent Soul Senior Brothers and Sisters, his contributions to the sect are no less than theirs and might even surpass most of them.
"If I can successfully improve the Bone Killing Swordgrass, the chances of obtaining the Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed will increase significantly."
"If I miss this opportunity, I can only help nurture it at a low price as a favor."
"After all, not every Senior Brother and Sister has my level of expertise in Spirit Plant cultivation."
"Personally cultivating the Eighth Rank Swordgrass will undoubtedly be better than entrusting it to me, but no one dares to guarantee that the Eighth Rank Swordgrass can be successfully cultivated."
Lu Xuan thought with full confidence.
"I'll have to bring out the True Sword Master."
Returning to his Cave Mansion, he pondered and decided to seek help from the True Sword Master, who always responds to requests, to more securely obtain the Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed.
Not long after sending the Communication Talisman, the True Sword Master appeared outside Lu Xuan's Cave Mansion.
"True Sword Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan smiled and greeted him.
"Junior Brother Lu, I heard you want to obtain the Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed that is gestating in the Mystic Realm?"
The True Sword Master asked gently.
"That's right."
"I have an intense curiosity about that Eighth Rank Spirit Seed, and I want to try cultivating it."
"The Eighth Rank Swordgrass Spirit Seed... It's extremely rare within the sect, and the competition is fierce. Even I can't guarantee obtaining it easily."
The True Sword Master's expression turned solemn.
"However, if you want to obtain it, I'll find a way to assist you."
He promised Lu Xuan.
"True Sword Senior Brother, when I was improving the Thunder Abyss Swordgrass, I also started preparing to create a new Sixth Rank Swordgrass, using the Bone Killing Swordgrass as a test subject."
"After years of exploration, I finally have a glimmer of success."
Lu Xuan paused, deciding to reveal his progress in improving the new Sixth Rank Swordgrass ahead of time.
As expected.
Upon hearing this, the True Sword Master's pupils constricted slightly, and his expression turned surprised.
"A new Sixth Rank Swordgrass! Is this true?!"
He asked Lu Xuan with a hint of urgency.
