Chapter 182: Nurturing the Mystical Sword Sheath

"As for those things, I'm not in a rush to pursue them." Lu Chen's voice was deep and calm.

"I heard that after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, one can have their own mountain peak. If that's true, I'll be able to cultivate even more varieties of spirit herbs." There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he spoke.

To him, techniques, talismans, artifacts, and pills were not something he actively sought. By cultivating spirit herbs and harvesting spirit orbs, he would naturally attain them.

"So, Big Brother Lu, you're working so hard to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage just to get better conditions for cultivating spirit herbs?" Baili Jianqing tilted his head, his question laced with a hint of disbelief.

"Indeed." Lu Chen's affirmative response caused Baili to reach up and rub his forehead in resignation.

After a moment of silence, Baili spoke again. "There are numerous bizarre methods for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Among them, the most common and indispensable method is the use of the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Taking the pill and relying on its power to make a breakthrough has the highest success rate and is an extremely simple and gentle process. Most cultivators achieve this stage through this method."

"However, the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill is closely guarded by the major sects and powers. Occasionally, a pill may find its way into the outside world, but the recipe itself is unheard of, treated as a core secret by the sects."

"Being a third-grade pill, its price is not exorbitant, but it's usually unavailable for purchase. It's difficult for solitary cultivators to obtain it through regular channels." Baili Jianqing explained slowly.

Lu Chen nodded gently, indicating his understanding. The sects and aristocratic families controlled the Foundation Establishment Pills, thereby controlling the paths of advancement for most solitary cultivators. If one wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they had to join a sect or a powerful family.

This allowed the sects and families to absorb those with exceptional talent, strengthening themselves further.

"Once an outer disciple of a sect accumulates enough spiritual energy in their body, they can request assistance from the sect to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"For the first attempt, the sect will provide a Foundation Establishment Pill free of charge. If the disciple fails, the sect will sell the second pill at half price, but for a third attempt, the disciple must purchase it at full price."

"Additionally, during the disciple's breakthrough attempt, the sect will provide further conveniences, such as special spirit vein adjustments for the body and mind, as well as protection from Foundation Establishment elders."

"Of course, this is just the standard procedure for ordinary disciples. For those with powerful backgrounds and extraordinary talent, there are various heavenly treasures to aid their breakthrough, and they might even have a Core Formation stage master protecting them." As Baili Jianqing spoke, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

Lu Chen nodded in agreement, unable to even fathom having a Core Formation stage master protecting him during his breakthrough.

After chatting for a while, Baili Jianqing suddenly asked, "Big Brother Lu, there's going to be a sword fight at the Duel Sword Lodge. Quite a few fellow disciples well-versed in the sword path are gathering there to exchange techniques. Do you want to come and watch with me?"

"A sword fight at the Duel Sword Lodge?" Lu Chen's expression flickered with hesitation. After joining the sect, he rarely participated in lectures by sect elders, exchanges with fellow disciples, and the like. Most of the sect disciples he knew were those he met while completing tasks related to spirit herbs and beasts.

"The fights are supposed to be quite spectacular, Big Brother Lu. If you don't want to participate, you can just watch from the sidelines."

"Then I'll go with you to take a look." Lu Chen smiled. He wasn't interested in fighting, but watching a fight was a different matter.

After tidying up, he activated an array, enveloping the entire courtyard in thick white mist. Then, he and Baili Jianqing each rode a spiritual crane towards the Duel Sword Lodge.

The Duel Sword Lodge was located at the top of a peak several hundred meters high and was constructed from deep green giant stones. These stones were extremely tough, impervious to ordinary attacks, and possessed a certain degree of self-healing ability, allowing them to repair cracks and pits on their own.

Baili Jianqing instructed Lu Chen with confidence before joining the crowd.

Lu Chen nodded and found a spot to sit down, curiously observing the various battle scenes unfolding before him.

"It would be nice if I had some melon-like spirit fruits to munch on while watching this spectacle."

He thought with a hint of regret.

Within the sect, there weren't any large-scale disciple battles, but from time to time, those with similar interests or grudges would come to the Duel Sword Lodge to spar and compete.

As Lu Chen was naturally amiable, he had never had the opportunity to enter the Duel Sword Lodge for a duel.

On the greenstone platform, the duels intensified, leaving Lu Chen almost unable to keep up with his eyes, unsure of where to look.

Many of his fellow sect members indeed had extraordinary achievements in swordsmanship. Their sword auras differentiated and transformed into silk-like strands, and their giant sword techniques could be likened to special effects in a movie.

Lu Chen even witnessed a cultivator unleashing a sword formation, with over ten flying swords dazzling in harmony and creating a thousand variations, a truly impressive sight.

He secretly compared his own skills, and although his Metal Element Sword Art was only first-grade, due to absorbing a large number of experience packages, his control over the sword art was akin to that of a grandmaster. Even among the many sword geniuses on the greenstone platform, he believed he could rank among the top.

If he added the third-grade Xunlei Jianwan, a dormant pill in his dantian, he could practically dominate the entire field.

As he thought about this, he continued to enjoy the show. Baili Jianqing was quite skilled in swordsmanship, and Lu Chen had already witnessed him win three consecutive matches, making him proud and satisfied.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, he sensed a disturbance in his storage bag tied around his waist. When he probed it with his spiritual sense, he found that in one corner, a sword sheath was trembling slightly.

"Why is this sword sheath reacting now? I almost forgot about it."

Lu Chen thought to himself. The sword sheath had come into his possession back in Linyang Fang City when the Wang family had forced him into the secret realm. At the time, the Wang family head and a bizarre-grade skeleton had both been pursuing this very object, attracted by the Xunlei Jianwan pill in his dantian. He had inferred that the sword sheath must have an extraordinary origin, but despite his efforts, he hadn't been able to uncover its true origins, leaving it tucked away in his storage bag, forgotten.

Sensing the ancient sword sheath trembling more and more vigorously, Lu Chen sent a sound transmission to Baili Jianqing, who was resting not far away, and then got up to leave.

Upon returning to his cave abode, he activated the Misty Mist Array, enveloping the entire courtyard in a blanket of white fog.

Then, he took out the mysterious sword sheath from his storage bag.

The sword sheath was simple and unadorned, its surface mottled and weathered, bearing the marks of countless years.

However, it had always been empty, devoid of any unusual presence within.

Lu Chen held the sword sheath in his hand, feeling its body tremble more and more rapidly.

"Why is it suddenly reacting like this? In the secret realm, it seemed to be drawn to the Xunlei Jianwan in my body..."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and with a flick of his mind, several sword rays drilled out from his body, coiled in black energy, and exuded a sword intent as sharp as a blade, with arcs of electricity dancing along the sword edges.

The sword rays suddenly twisted and penetrated into the empty cavity of the sword sheath.

The tip of the sword sheath tilted backward as if emitting a clear and pleasant sword cry.

Seeing this, Lu Chen focused his mind on the ancient sword sheath.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Mysterious Sword Sheath, Unknown Treasure: Forged from extraterrestrial sword stone, it can nurture sword aura within, and the longer the aura is cultivated, the greater the power released.

Sword weapons can also be placed within the sword sheath to slowly temper the blade, removing impurities and enhancing the quality and grade of the sword.

Spirituality damaged.]

"Unknown treasure? What is this thing?"

Lu Chen looked at the ancient sword sheath in his hand, his face filled with confusion.
