Chapter 357: The Wind and Thunder Sword Talisman
Inner Sect.
Lu Chen navigated through various array formations and restrictions, returning to his cave abode.
After obtaining the Four-star Sky-blue Elixir Fire and the Five-star Vajra Bodhi Spirit Plant in Jianmen Town, he didn't linger and hurried back to the Tianjian Sect.
He opened the flowing light talisman array and went directly to the spirit field.
Spiritual energy surged, and the structure of the spirit soil underwent subtle changes.
Lu Chen took out the Vajra Bodhi spirit-plant and placed it in a crack that was just the right size.
Then, he took a deep breath and focused his mind on the deep black oval-shaped spirit-plant.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Vajra Bodhi, a Five-star spirit-plant, condensed from the blessings of Buddhist lands. It can be nurtured with incense offerings, devotional power, and Buddhist chants to accelerate its growth.
The mature spirit fruit contains immense Buddhist power. Consuming it can greatly enhance one's physical body and vigor. A mere gesture or step can ward off evil and expedite the cultivation of corresponding techniques and supernatural abilities.
"A Five-star spirit-plant!"
As the thought faded, a hint of joy appeared on Lu Chen's face.
"Unfortunately, the cultivation method is somewhat unique and requires certain Buddhist treasures."
"I wonder if that Soul-crossing Zen Incense will have any effect."
Lu Chen sighed inwardly.
The Soul-crossing Zen Incense was refined by Buddhist cultivators using countless incense offerings, capable of calming the mind and soothing vengeful spirits.
With that in mind, he took out the dark yellow incense stick that had been stored in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The smoke from the incense stick curled upwards, forming a lotus platform above it, upon which seemed to sit a smiling Buddha holding a flower.
He controlled his spiritual sense, guiding a wisp of smoke into the Vajra Bodhi spirit-plant.
After absorbing the smoke, the angry-eyed Vajra on the surface of the spirit-plant seemed to become more vivid and looked even more majestic.
"It has some effect, but it doesn't seem very useful."
Lu Chen carefully sensed the state of the spirit-plant, thinking to himself.
Perhaps because the smoke wasn't pure incense, it could be used to nurture the Vajra Bodhi, but only in the early stages.
"As for the Buddhist chants, I wonder if there's a chance for the Illusory Sound Bamboo to listen and remember, and then play it back to the Vajra Bodhi. It's a bit of a counterfeit method, but it might still have some effect."
Adhering to the principle of thrift, Lu Chen had a whimsical thought, thinking of the Four-star Ethereal Sound Bamboo in the spirit field.
Back in the courtyard, he took out some spirit fruits and demonic beast meat to feed the spiritual beasts that had come lured by the scent.
Lu Chen entered the house and took out the Sky-blue Elixir Fire.
As he was still in the process of collecting and preparing the various spirit herbs for refining the foundation-building pill, he wasn't in a hurry.
For the next period of time, he stayed in his cave abode, cultivating spirit-plants and raising spirit beasts.
In the spirit field, under his meticulous care, the spirit-plants gradually matured.
"A Wind and Thunder Sword Grass has matured."
Lu Chen gazed at the fully filled progress bar below the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass and exclaimed.
The sword grass was dark green-black, covered in dense thunderbolt patterns, surrounded by countless tiny black sword auras, like a terrifying hurricane emitting a constant sword cry.
Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, a Three-star spirit-plant, nurtured by wind and thunder sword qi, containing immense wind and thunder power.
As the thought crossed his mind, he turned his gaze to the white light cluster that appeared alongside it.
He reached out and gently touched it, and the light cluster transformed into countless tiny sword qi light points that surged towards Lu Chen's body, instantly merging into his being.
Harvested a Three-star Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, obtained a Four-star Talisman - Wind and Thunder Sword Talisman.
A talisman shaped like a sword tip, neither metal nor jade, appeared in his palm.
Within the talisman, howling winds swept across, lightning flashed and thunder roared, depicting a scene of apocalyptic chaos.
Lu Chen examined the sword talisman in his hand, a hint of surprise on his face.
The Four-Star Howling Ocean Sword Talisman, Great Sun Sword Talisman, and Meteorite Sword Talisman that he had obtained before were all produced by the Sword Gourd Light Cluster, and this was the first time a sword talisman had emerged from the sword grass itself, having previously yielded sword intents, flying swords, and sword pills.
However, he was extremely pleased with this outcome.
The Four-Star Sword Talismans were exceptionally powerful in combat, as proven in the Boundless Sea Secret Realm, and with only one Howling Ocean Sword Talisman and one Great Sun Sword Talisman remaining in his possession, obtaining another Wind and Thunder Sword Talisman was certainly a welcome addition.
He carefully kept the sword talisman and continued inspecting the spirit field.
Back when he obtained twenty ordinary sword grass spirit seeds, one Three-Star Starlight Sword Grass spirit seed, and one Four-Star Sword Plunderer spirit seed from the Jian Pavilion, he had used the Four Seasons Sword Manual to nurture and cultivate ten of the ordinary sword grasses, while the other ten were placed in his sword sheath and nourished with the Leizhen Sword Aura to slowly transform them into Wind and Thunder Sword Grass spirit seeds.
Since he could only modify one sword grass spirit seed at a time, the growth rates of the ten Wind and Thunder Sword Grasses varied.
Lu Chen planned to wait for one or two more to mature before returning to the Jian Pavilion to complete his task.
Over a month later, Lu Chen stood beside a Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, his palm glowing with a crystalline jade light as he carefully grasped the base of the sword grass and pulled it out.
"A natural-born sword."
Even though Lu Chen had already harvested dozens of sword grasses, he still marveled at how perfectly they were formed as natural swords.
Perhaps due to superior spirit seeds or his meticulous cultivation methods, the sword grass in his hand was of exceptional quality.
【Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, a Three-Star Spirit Plant...】
As the thought crossed his mind, Lu Chen picked up the white light cluster left behind by the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass in the pit of spirit soil.
【Harvested a Three-Star Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, obtained a Four-Star Sword Manual - Wind and Thunder Sword Scripture】.
A thought emerged in his mind, and instantly, countless pieces of information surged into his sea of consciousness.
After hastily absorbing and digesting the knowledge, Lu Chen gained a profound insight. In his sea of consciousness, wind and thunder sword auras crisscrossed, and various exquisite sword techniques appeared with effortless ease, each move accompanied by howling winds and crashing thunder.
"【Wind and Thunder Sword Scripture】..."
Lu Chen murmured, and the Wind and Thunder Sword in his hand emitted a soft sword cry, seemingly resonating with the perfectly matched sword manual.
"The Wind and Thunder Sword is a Four-Star flying sword imbued with abundant wind and thunder spiritual power. However, when using it, there seems to be a lack of variation in its techniques."
"Now that I have obtained the 【Wind and Thunder Sword Scripture】, it perfectly compensates for this shortcoming. I can utilize the Wind and Thunder Sword more effectively, and the combination of the two will result in a synergy greater than the sum of their parts."
Lu Chen carefully sensed the changes within his body. After absorbing the information from the 【Wind and Thunder Sword Scripture】, he had a basic understanding of this Four-Star sword manual, reaching the initial stages of proficiency.
It was much faster than when he cultivated the equally ranked Four-Star 【Thousand Hawk Sword Manual】.
"Once I absorb a few more sword manual experience packs, I should be able to reach the level of proficiency or even mastery."
"This is what a sword genius should be like."
Lu Chen shamelessly attributed his success to his "talent" in cultivating spirit plants.
Among the sword grasses he had cultivated, there were currently two mature Three-Star mutated Wind and Thunder Sword Grasses, ten ordinary Two-Star sword grasses, and one Three-Star Starlight Sword Grass. It was time to return to the Jian Pavilion to complete his task.
