Chapter 481: The Illuminating Sword Heart
Chapter 481: The Illuminating Sword Heart
Back at his cave abode, Lu Chen remained indoors and took out two deep green jade slips.
He pressed one against his glabella, and his spiritual sense permeated it, piercing through layer after layer of restrictions. In an instant, a vast amount of information flooded into his sea of consciousness.
Timing, methods, and precautions for spirit plant condensation, as well as techniques for handling spirit seeds, were among the topics covered.
After absorbing this enormous volume of information, he opened his eyes, only to find that the deep green jade slip on his glabella had somehow disintegrated into countless fragments that drifted down to the ground.
He repeated the process, absorbing the condensation technique from the other jade slip.
The condensation technique for a third-grade spirit plant was several times more intricate than those for the Fierce Flame Fruit and Ice Vine Fruit that he had acquired previously. Nonetheless, with his ability to discern the condition of spirit plants, Lu Chen would find the process of spirit seed condensation considerably easier.
Subsequently, he made his way to the spirit field, taking out six spirit seeds.
The Cang Yuan Grass spirit seed was elongated and grayish-brown in color, resembling ordinary wild grass seeds at first glance, plain and unassuming.
On the other hand, the Yu Lu Fruit spirit seed resembled a drop of silver-white dew, shimmering with a moist luster and exuding a fresh, natural fragrance.
Lu Chen planted all six spirit seeds and then began to move through the spirit field, inspecting the growth of the various spirit plants.
He intended to cultivate the Cang Yuan Grass and Yu Lu Fruit obtained from the Dan Dian normally, rather than using them for spirit seed condensation to further his personal gain.
Although he enjoyed freeloading and taking small advantages, he still maintained a sense of professional ethics. There was no need to betray the trust the Dan Dian had placed in him.
In the spirit field, more than fifty Water Glow Grass plants, intended for spirit seed condensation, had reached the later stages of growth. Their slender leaves displayed subtle protrusions containing rich vitality.
Lu Chen gently guided his spiritual power, approaching the four Arrow Vines.
The arrows formed on the vines were already over three inches long, hanging downward, giving no indication of their status as fourth-grade spirit plants.
However, when Lu Chen displayed the Instant Arrow Art, nourishing the vines with arrow-shaped spiritual power, the arrows of varying lengths immediately became ostentatious and unruly, standing tall and proud, with spiritual power gathering at their tips, as if ready to shoot out at any moment.
In the sword grass area, the Sword Peacocks had grown significantly. As Lu Chen unleashed numerous sword auras and condensed the Peacock Sword Array to nurture them, the sword grass blades fanned out like peacock feathers, revealing a dazzling array of sword blades that exuded deadly intent.
The growth of the Blue Lotus Sword Grass was also satisfactory. Lu Chen manipulated his spiritual power within his body, and a sword aura shot out, blooming like a blue lotus in the air before rapidly spinning into the sword grass.
The Qing Lian Jian Jing was a fourth-grade sword manual, and for someone with ordinary talent like Lu Chen, it was exceedingly profound and abstruse. He had to diligently study it for a long time before he could use it to cultivate the Blue Lotus Sword Grass.
However, through the frequent display of corresponding sword auras during the cultivation process, his understanding of the Qing Lian Jian Jing had also deepened considerably, making his efforts both beneficial for farming and sword training.
Filled with emotion, Lu Chen approached the last fourth-grade sword plant, the Sword Qiao.
On the numerous branches resembling sharp swords, the sword aura silhouettes transformed into qiao birds, quietly perched on the tips of the branches.
Their feet were fused together, seamlessly integrating with the sword-like branches.
Lu Chen executed a move from the Qiao Jian Jing.
Stimulated, the qiao bird sword aura silhouettes swiftly flew out, dancing around him. Their sword auras were sharp and ever-changing.
"The Sword Qiao is finally close to maturity," Lu Chen remarked.
He concentrated his mind on the sword-like branches, and a faint progress bar appeared below. Upon closer inspection, it was almost fully filled, just a hair's breadth away from completion.
A myriad of emotions filled his heart.
This fourth-grade Sword Qiao was obtained from the Sword Hall after he had broken through the Foundation Establishment stage and revealed his talent for cultivating sword grass.
A fourth-grade sword plant couldn't be rushed to maturity simply with Qing Wood Source Qi, so Lu Chen remained patient and waited.
Six days later, the progress bar below the Sword of a Thousand Xiao finally filled up completely.
Lu Chen's heart was filled with joy as he transformed his palm into a crystalline jade color and carefully extracted the Sword of a Thousand Xiao spirit plant from the spirit soil.
"Ordinary quality, but it's still a fourth-grade spirit plant. It's already quite an achievement to be able to cultivate it successfully."
His spirit was captivated by the peculiar appearance of this fourth-grade sword grass.
Sword of a Thousand Xiao, fourth-grade spirit plant. Nurtured and cultivated with the Thousand Xiao Sword Qi, it can differentiate and manifest the sword intents of numerous ancient ferocious birds, the Sword Hawks. Possessing boundless variations, its sword intents are powerful and filled with sentience.
"I wonder what the reaction will be when I present this fourth-grade Sword of a Thousand Xiao at the Sword Hall."
Lu Chen chuckled, holding the sword grass and gently waving it twice.
The sword intents of the Sword Hawks scattered and flew out, leaving afterimages in the howling sword qi as they danced under his mental control.
After keeping the Sword of a Thousand Xiao, his gaze was drawn to the white light group that appeared.
"I wonder what reward this fourth-grade Sword of a Thousand Xiao will bring."
Lu Chen reached out, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, and gently touched the surface of the light group.
In an instant, the light group silently exploded, and countless tiny lights danced wildly, condensing into a luminous pearl that trailed a long, silver-white tail as it entered Lu Chen's body.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Harvested a Sword of a Thousand Xiao, gained a fifth-grade treasure, the Illuminating Sword Heart.
A silver-white pearl, the size of a pigeon egg, appeared in Lu Chen's palm. It was perfectly round and filled with countless silver-white rays of light.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the rays of light within the pearl were actually formed by the convergence of countless sword intents.
The sword intents within the pearl were vastly different from the ordinary sword intents that exuded sharpness. They were restrained and calm, having washed away all pretenses.
Lu Chen was intrigued by this silver-white pearl, and he focused his mind on it.
Instantly, detailed information about the pearl appeared in his mind.
Illuminating Sword Heart, fifth-grade treasure. It was refined by a Nascent Soul grandmaster to enhance the sword cultivation of his descendants. During the refining process, it was placed within his body to be nurtured and tempered, smoothing away the sharpness of the sword intents and merging the countless sword qi and sword intents into one harmonious whole.
By consuming the Illuminating Sword Heart, one can enhance their understanding and application of sword manuals, as well as increase their affinity with various sword weapons.
"A fifth-grade treasure that enhances my understanding of the sword path."
Lu Chen's heart was filled with delight.
With this Illuminating Sword Heart, he no longer had to worry about facing difficulties in cultivating sword grass due to the initial struggles of mastering sword manuals.
After obtaining these fourth-grade sword plants, he had spent a significant amount of time and effort cultivating the corresponding sword manuals to ensure their successful cultivation.
Now, with the Illuminating Sword Heart, he wouldn't have to endure such hardships again.
Impatience got the better of him, and he swallowed the Illuminating Sword Heart.
In an instant, countless minuscule sword intents appeared within his body, wandering through his limbs and bones before eventually converging into his sea of consciousness.
He stood there, as if having gained a new insight.
Several sword manuals and classics naturally surfaced in his mind, and the parts that had once been obscure and incomprehensible were now crystal clear and easily understood.
