Chapter 1274: The Struggle for Sword Disciple
Chapter 1274: The Struggle for Sword Disciple
After cultivating numerous sword grasses in the spirit fields of the Cave Abode, Lu Xuan entered his Portable Space.
During the time the White Lotus had been outside, the many high-grade spirit herbs inside had been carefully tended to by the main body, so there was no need to worry about their growth being affected.
"Master, I'll go find those two old buddies!"
The White Ape said with a smile from behind him.
It had been so long since it had sparred with the Thunder Dragon Beast and the Azure Mountain Steed that it felt restless and was eager to see if its old rivals had improved.
Lu Xuan nodded, and his body merged directly into the spirit soil.
At the deepest part of the space, the Nine-Grade Mysterious Yellow Tree was planted.
After cultivating for decades, the Mysterious Yellow Tree was still a small sapling, with its surface interwoven with black and yellow colors, blending seamlessly with the Portable Space.
With a thought, the primordial essence he had refined from the Lan Yue Blessed Land swirled around his fingertips, then instantly merged into the Mysterious Yellow Tree sapling.
The two instantly became one, and his mind felt a momentary daze, as if a towering tree's shadow had merged into the entire space, becoming one with it.
Feeling the vibrant life force emanating from the Mysterious Yellow Tree, Lu Xuan was satisfied and withdrew.
"Come over for a moment. I've brought you a fine treasure."
His divine sense swept through the space, locking onto the Wind Listener Beast that roamed invisibly within, and summoned it over.
A gust of wind swiftly swept in, and the Wind Listener Beast emerged from the wind, jumping onto Lu Xuan's shoulder.
Lu Xuan stroked it, and then an Azure Black Lantern appeared before the Wind Listener Beast.
The lantern rapidly spun, as if formed from a spiritual breeze, containing the purest wind-element spirit power. It was the Quasi-Grade 7 Wind Artifact, the Wind Lord Lantern, gifted by the Mystic Wind Star Lord.
The moment the Wind Listener Beast saw the Azure Black Lantern, it felt an intense sense of familiarity. Its eyes lit up, and it transformed into a gentle breeze, merging into the Wind Lord Lantern.
Lu Xuan watched as the unique spirit beast happily moved within the Wind Lord Lantern, nodded slightly, and let the lantern float up into the air.
In a flash, he appeared in the area where the Wind Stabilizing Pearl had been integrated.
This area had been nourished by the Wind Stabilizing Pearl for many years, making the wind-element spirit power exceptionally lively, perfect for planting the Grade 7 Burning Wheel Grass.
After planting the Burning Wheel Grass and carefully inspecting the other high-grade spirit herbs in the Portable Space, Lu Xuan returned to the Cave Abode.
"Providing sword talisman liquid, teaching disciples, refining Primordial Spirit Pills... there's quite a bit to do upon my return."
Lu Xuan quickly entered a busy phase.
One day, while he was cultivating the sword grass in the spirit fields, a familiar voice from outside the Cave Abode rang out.
"Junior Brother Lu, are you in the Cave Abode?"
"I apologize for not greeting you properly, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared outside the Cave Abode.
"Have you made any progress after ending your seclusion?"
The True Sword Master asked with a smile.
"Over the years, I've been studying several advanced sword techniques from the Cave Mystery Sword Canon, and my sword path achievements have advanced further."
Lu Xuan casually fibbed.
"That's good to hear. Cultivating spirit herbs is important, but your cultivation shouldn't be neglected."
"If you have time, you can come directly to me, or discuss and exchange cultivation insights and sword path skills with other fellow disciples."
The True Sword Master smiled and nodded, showing great friendliness towards Lu Xuan.
This young man was a treasure of True Transmission Peak, and he needed to be cherished to prevent other sword peaks from poaching him.
"Thank you for your kind concern, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan bowed in gratitude.
"By the way, I have something important to tell you."
"Please go on, Senior Brother."
"How much do you know about the Sword Sect's Sword Disciples?"
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and carefully replied:
"I have some understanding, but not much contact. I mainly keep in touch with Senior Brother Mo Yuanfeng, and I've also met Senior Brothers He Qingping and Zhu Shan."
"You spend most of your time in the Cave Abode, and the Sword Sect's Sword Disciples are focused on cultivation and don't involve themselves in worldly affairs, so it's indeed difficult to encounter other sword peak Sword Disciples."
"This time, I came to ask you, Junior Brother, if you are willing to compete for the position of True Transmission Sword Disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan was taken aback. "Do I have the qualifications for that?"
The position of True Transmission Sword Disciple was rare within the entire Dongxuan Sword Sect. Each one received an endless amount of resources from the sect, and most grew to become Sword Masters, with some even having the potential to achieve the rank of Divine Spirit.
"Junior Brother, don't underestimate yourself. After advancing to the Yuan Ying stage, your cultivation has been smooth sailing, and your potential has greatly improved. You have a high chance of becoming a True Transmission Sword Disciple."
Sword Master Zhenhuan said gently.
"Senior Brother, you flatter me. What are the specific selection criteria?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"The sect typically holds a selection every two to three hundred years. The main criteria are talent and strength, followed by character, fortune, sword path achievements, and contributions to the sect."
"Those who participate in the selection are mostly young Yuan Ying cultivators from the major sword peaks. Junior Brother, you have already reached the middle Yuan Ying stage with a lifespan of less than three hundred years, placing you firmly in the top three among the younger generation."
"As for your constitution and potential, the Wu Lou Ling Tree you have cultivated within your body has significantly narrowed the gap between you and those rare cultivation geniuses."
"In terms of the sword path, your ability to cultivate and even improve many high-grade sword grasses demonstrates your profound and exquisite mastery."
"Regarding contributions, the Sha Sheng Zhen Yu Jian Grass alone is enough to secure your place in the annals of the Sword Sect, far surpassing your competitors."
Sword Master Zhenhuan had complete confidence in Lu Xuan and analyzed the situation in detail.
"By becoming a True Transmission Sword Disciple, you will enjoy more benefits than ordinary Yuan Ying True Lords."
"The sect's most advanced cultivation techniques, magical abilities, and treasures will be prioritized for the sword disciples. You might even receive guidance and protection from the venerable elders, and you can stay in the Dongxuan Realm for long-term cultivation."
"By the way, the Grade 7 Eighth-Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds in the sect are mostly produced in the Dongxuan Realm. Junior Brother, you can even cultivate and harvest them yourself."
Sword Master Zhenhuan provided a reason that Lu Xuan couldn't refuse.
"Grade 7 Eighth-Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds..."
Lu Xuan's heart stirred, and he made his decision.
"Thank you for the trust of the sect. I am willing to represent True Sword Peak and compete for the position of True Transmission Sword Disciple. I will not let you down, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan said earnestly.
"Your words put my mind at ease. A new sword disciple from True Sword Peak will bring tremendous benefits to the peak."
Sword Master Zhenhuan's face showed a look of satisfaction.
"There are still a few years before the next selection. Junior Brother, you can use this time to prepare. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan smiled and replied.
After informing him of this news, Sword Master Zhenhuan didn't stay longer and left after bidding farewell.
"True Transmission Sword Disciple..."
"I never thought that someone like me, who focuses on cultivation, would have a significant chance to become a True Transmission Sword Disciple in the renowned Dongxuan Sword Sect."
Lu Xuan chuckled and shook his head. Regardless of other aspects, the advantage of being able to obtain high-grade sword grass spirit seeds from the Dongxuan Realm was enough to make him determined to secure this position.
