Chapter 198: The Advanced Sword Grass

"A second-grade Yin Soul Pearl, capable of nourishing and enhancing vengeful spirits. Not bad at all." Lu Chen held the pitch-black bead, filled with yin energy, and marveled.

"However, the Yin Gui is a year-classified spirit plant, which theoretically can keep growing indefinitely. But due to factors like its variety, cultivation environment, and others, it can't achieve true longevity."

"A second-grade Yin Cultivator should be able to live for over a hundred years. As for a thousand years, that's as difficult as climbing the heavens."

"I recall it's been about two years since I planted this Yin Willow. Two years is usually the standard maturation period for a second-grade spirit plant. I wonder, do year-classified spirit plants grant a light group reward when they reach a certain stage of growth?"

"Perhaps when the Yin Catalpa grows for seven or eight years, or even a decade, it will grant another light group reward?" Lu Chen speculated, then turned his attention to the second-grade Yin Soul Pearl in his hand.

He took out the Grievance Soul Bell from his storage bag, one he had purchased from Wanbao Building. Using his spiritual sense, he controlled several grievance souls hidden within the bell, making them fly out and enter the Yin Soul Pearl.

Several pale figures immediately appeared on the surface of the black bead, clinging tightly to it. Their vague facial features showed expressions of enjoyment.

"Good. The grievance souls within the Grievance Soul Bell can be nourished to be even stronger when placed in the Yin Soul Pearl. Next time I go to Jianmen Town, I'll let those five Ghost-Faced Stone Mushrooms have a feast." Lu Chen looked at the vengeful spirits within the pearl, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"First, I'll let you eat to your heart's content, and then send you on your way. I'm truly a kind and benevolent person."

Just then, he sensed an unusual bird entering the range of his mountain peak.

His figure transformed into a wisp of cloud and smoke, instantly appearing at the foot of the mountain.

The unusual bird seemed to be a puppet beast. Its eye sockets were stuffed with a pair of wooden balls, giving it a slightly dull look. Its feathers, however, were composed of countless tiny sword blades, making it look incredibly sharp and dangerous.

The wooden eyes detected Lu Chen's presence, and the puppet bird opened its beak. A clear and loud voice emerged, "Brother Lu, it's Shen Ye. I left two seeds of the Sword Grass at the Agricultural Hall for you, do you still remember?"

"I heard from Xia Chen in the Agricultural Hall that you've advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm and become an inner disciple of the sect."

"Congratulations on your remarkable achievement and rapid progress."

"Also, my previous promise still stands. As long as you can cultivate those two Sword Grasses, I will introduce you to the Sword Hall and include you in the group working on cultivating and improving the Sword Grass."

"If you're interested, Brother Lu, you can follow my puppet bird to the Sword Hall for a look."

Shen Ye's voice fell silent, and the puppet bird closed its beak, fixing its wooden eyes on Lu Chen.

"Sword Hall... cultivating and improving the Sword Grass." The Sword Grass was of great importance to the Celestial Sword Sect, and Lu Chen had already learned about this during his time at the Agricultural Hall.

When he had tried to exchange Sword Seals for Sword Grass seeds, he was unable to do so due to his status as an outer disciple, who wasn't qualified to cultivate the Sword Grass.

Previously, in Linyang Fangshi, he had accidentally cultivated a Sword Grass, and the light group that appeared had contained the rare Xunlei Jianwan. This had sparked his interest in the Sword Grass.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen signaled for the puppet bird to lead the way to the location mentioned by Shen Ye.

After more than a quarter of an hour, he arrived at a large array. The array enveloped a vast space, and on its surface, countless sword auras moved about freely like fish.

Outside the array, a gentle-looking cultivator awaited Lu Chen. The cultivator carried a deep black sword box on his back, standing there like an unsheathed longsword with its intent restrained.

"Brother Lu, there's no need for such formalities."

Shen Ye smiled gently as he put away his puppet bird. "Since you've come to the Sword Hall, I assume you have a great interest in the Sword Grass. Allow me to give you a tour."

Shen Ye turned and, with a wave of his hand, unleashed an invisible sword blade that struck the surface of the array, creating an opening just large enough for two people to pass through.

Lu Chen quickly followed the gentle-looking cultivator.

Invisible sword rays brushed past his cheeks, and he felt that any slight movement would cause them to transform into boundless sword energy, enveloping him.

Upon entering the array, a towering peak that pierced the clouds came into view. Countless flying swords of various sizes and shapes darted freely through the clouds, and sword energy burst forth from all directions on the mountain, accompanied by the occasional clear ring of a sword.

Lu Chen couldn't help but be amazed as he passed by cultivators who exuded terrifying sword intent.

"Brother Lu, I never expected such a big surprise from you. If it weren't for Xia Chen mentioning it by chance, I wouldn't have known that you've already advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm."

Shen Ye, with his jade-like appearance, smiled as he spoke while Lu Chen observed their surroundings.

After gifting Lu Chen with two Sword Grass spirit seeds, he indeed didn't expect Lu Chen to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time.

Back then, based on his understanding of Lu Chen, he believed that with Lu Chen's ordinary talent, it would take more than a decade to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and success wasn't even guaranteed.

So, when he saw Lu Chen, who was still at the Qi Refining stage, cultivate a high-quality Sword Grass, he felt a sense of talent and took a liking to him. He privately gifted him two Sword Grass spirit seeds and promised to recommend him to the inner sect and include him in the group working on cultivating and improving the Sword Grass if he succeeded again.

However, he never expected that before the Sword Grass matured, Lu Chen would quietly advance to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although he was surprised, he was still pleased with Lu Chen's progress. It was better that Lu Chen had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, as it would now be more legitimate for him to cultivate the Sword Grass.

"Brother Lu, you've exchanged so many spirit plants at the Agricultural Hall, so you must already be aware of the Sword Grass' uniqueness."

"The Sword Grass is one of the sect's fundamental resources. Every Sword Grass is inherently a sword artifact. Even an ordinary Sword Grass is a valuable treasure for our sect's Qi Refining cultivators."

"Moreover, through countless generations of meticulous cultivation and improvement by our ancestors, the Sword Grass has evolved to exhibit many variations, and we can even cultivate special Sword Grass varieties of the fourth or fifth grade."

"Thus, no matter how many Sword Seals you possess, without the status of an inner sect disciple, you aren't qualified to cultivate the Sword Grass, let alone learn the method of refining its spirit seeds."

Shen Ye explained to Lu Chen in detail about the Sword Grass.

"Fifth grade... I never expected there to be so many secrets hidden within the Sword Grass."

Lu Chen marveled inwardly, believing Shen Ye's words to be mostly true. He had once seen a variant of the Sword Grass, the Sword Peacock, in a secret realm, and it had left him dazzled and longing for it even until now.

"The Sword Grass will undergo different changes depending on the spiritual energy environment, cultivation methods, and the nourishment of sword energy and sword intent."

"The primary task of the Sword Hall is to understand and summarize the corresponding rules to cultivate advanced versions of the Sword Grass on a large scale."

Shen Ye spoke with a solemn expression.
