Chapter 1228: Yin-Bone Thunder
Chapter 1228: Yin-Bone Thunder
Upon learning of Lu Xuan's improved aptitude, Jian Huan was in high spirits. He engaged in a heart-to-heart conversation with Lu Xuan over a drink of Spirit Brew.
Half a day later, Lu Xuan departed from Jian Huan's Swords Peak and headed towards Chu Xu's Swords Peak.
Unexpectedly, the cave mansion was empty, with no one in sight.
"Greetings, Senior Lu."
A middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with a capable demeanor sensed Lu Xuan's presence and rode her flying sword to greet him respectfully.
"Greetings, Junior Lu."
"May I ask where Senior Chu Xu is?"
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Senior Chu Xu has reached the critical moment of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. He has entered the Spirit Ground of the sect to make his final preparations."
The woman explained briefly.
"Alright."
Lu Xuan immediately transformed into a streak of light and left.
"After not seeing him for a few years, Senior Chu Xu has reached the final stage of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. I hope he can successfully advance," he thought as he returned to his cave mansion, silently blessing him.
Time flew by as he cultivated his Spirit Field. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this period, he had summoned Mu Heng early on and asked the Chamber of Commerce to help collect high-grade Yin Thunder. He also inquired with the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators he was acquainted with, asking them to keep an eye out for any fellow sect members who possessed Yin Thunder.
The cultivation requirements for the two Grade 8 Xuemo Lei Hu were extremely demanding. By starting the collection of Yin Thunder early, while the Spirit Seed was still in the rooting and sprouting stage, he could expedite their maturation.
Although Yin Thunder was extremely rare, with the help of the Sword Sect and the Chamber of Commerce, it shouldn't be difficult to acquire.
One day, while cultivating Spirit Plants in his Spirit Field, he suddenly heard the sharp cry of a white ape outside his cave mansion.
"Yuan Rong True Lord and Qingwei Swords Peak's Zhuo Bing True Lord have come to visit."
Lu Xuan's divine perception swept over, and he immediately saw Yuan Rong and a woman with an icy expression standing beside her.
"Lu Xuan greets the two Senior Sisters. Please forgive me for not receiving you earlier."
His figure flashed, and he appeared outside the cave mansion, welcoming the two of them in.
"This is Senior Sister Zhuo Bing from Qingwei Swords Peak. She is extremely powerful, having advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm over two hundred years ago, and is only a step away from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."
"Senior Sister Zhuo Bing is dedicated to cultivation and pays no heed to worldly affairs. This might be your first time meeting her."
"Lu Xuan greets Senior Sister Zhuo Bing."
"Greetings, Junior Lu."
Zhuo Bing nodded slightly, her expression unchanged. A faint chill surrounded her pure white Daoist robe, and her entire being exuded an aura that seemed to repel others.
"Earlier, you mentioned searching for high-grade Yin Thunder. Senior Sister Zhuo Bing happens to have one."
Yuan Rong said with a smile.
"Is that so? Thank you, Senior Yuan."
Lu Xuan was delighted.
"I'll go to the pavilion and have some Spirit Brew. You two can discuss and see if you can come to an agreement."
Yuan Rong transformed into a ball of flames and appeared in the distant courtyard.
"May I ask what type of Yin Thunder Senior Sister Zhuo Bing possesses? Can I take a look at it?"
Lu Xuan casually set up a restriction and asked in a deep voice.
"Grade 7 Erosion Yin Thunder, extremely venomous. It can erode flesh, blood, and bones within a short time, turning them into bloody water. Even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators without proper precautions may face unexpected dangers."
Zhuo Bing spoke coldly, and a Grade 7 Yin Thunder, shimmering with black-red spiritual light, quietly appeared before her.
The black-red Yin Thunder writhed like a poisonous tongue, its strange and slippery movements causing an unsettling feeling in those who looked upon it.
"Grade 7 Erosion Yin Thunder..."
Lu Xuan carefully scanned the Yin Thunder with his divine perception, confirming its grade. His expression remained unchanged, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you wish to obtain this item from Senior Sister Zhuo Bing, what does she desire in return? Are you considering a direct purchase with a sword imprint or an exchange with a treasure of the same grade?"
He asked aloud.
"Do you have any Grade 7 treasures you're willing to exchange?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Zhuo Bing's indifferent eyes.
"What about this Seventh-Rank Black Flame Refined Copper?"
In Lu Xuan's hand, a piece of jet-black ore appeared, covered in flame patterns.
He explained in detail to Zhuo Bing.
"Not enough," Zhuo Bing whispered, uttering two words.
"How about adding four thousand Sword Seals?" Lu Xuan offered, not expecting to exchange the Black Flame Refined Copper for the extremely rare Seventh-Rank Yin Lei.
Four thousand Sword Seals, worth the equivalent of 1.2 million low-grade spirit stones, along with the Seventh-Rank Black Flame Refined Copper, was already a very sincere offer.
"Alright, Junior Brother Lu is quite generous," Zhuo Bing smiled faintly, her expression returning to calmness in an instant.
After agreeing on the price, the two exchanged treasures without hesitation.
Zhuo Bing took the Sword Seals and the spirit ore without lingering, bidding farewell to Lu Xuan and Yuan Rong.
"Junior Brother Lu, don't take it to heart. Senior Sister Zhuo is not very sociable, and she's like this with everyone," Yuan Rong explained with a smile.
"It's fine. In a way, Junior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Zhuo have quite a few similarities," Lu Xuan invited Yuan Rong into a secluded courtyard, tasting Spirit Brew and chatting casually.
"I heard that Senior Brother Jin has left the Sword Sect again?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"Yes, he left less than three months ago," Yuan Rong replied.
"Is he searching for longevity treasures again?"
"No, this time it's related to the Kun Yuan Immortal Palace. Senior Brother Jin received a message from somewhere, saying that a treasure from the Immortal Palace was flowing out in a certain realm. After learning about it, he hurriedly left the sect."
"But isn't Senior Brother Jin's lifespan almost over?" Lu Xuan asked in confusion.
"Yes, with his life nearing its end, he's trying to seize any possible opportunity," Yuan Rong sighed lightly.
"For Senior Brother Jin, it's better to pour everything into seeking a slim chance of defying fate than to quietly await death."
"Reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it seems like one can touch the edge of immortality, but there's also a heavenly chasm to cross."
"Senior Brother Jin has endured countless tribulations to reach this point. Letting him die like this, perhaps he feels a deep reluctance in his heart? I just hope that Senior Brother Jin, you and I, and the other fellow disciples, can all have a good beginning and a good end, maintaining our integrity."
Yuan Rong's expression was complex.
"You're thinking too far ahead."
"By the way, Junior Brother Lu, I heard from the Sword Master that you've integrated a bone that improves your aptitude, and your cultivation talent is no longer beneath the others at Swords Peak?"
She smiled brightly and asked softly.
"That's an exaggeration from the Sword Master. It's true that my cultivation speed has increased significantly compared to before, but I still have a considerable gap compared to the other senior brothers and sisters," Lu Xuan quickly explained.
"Being able to make changes is already very good."
"With your previous above-average talent, you were able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Now, with your exceptional talent and mostly cultivating at Swords Peak, you might be able to surpass us in the future."
Yuan Rong smiled enigmatically.
"Haha, I'll take that as a good omen from Senior Sister," Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
The more people knew about his refinement and fusion with the Impermeable Spirit Wood, the better. In the future, when his cultivation soared, he would have a good excuse.
"With the existence of the light group, I'll climb step by step."
"I want to achieve Divine Transformation!"
