Chapter 531: A New Fifth-Grade Sword Grass Spirit
Chapter 531: A New Fifth-Grade Sword Grass Spirit
"It seems that the spell-like objects obtained from the sphere of light directly appear as information in my sea of consciousness, and repeated absorption can increase relevant experience."
"The cultivation technique rewards, on the other hand, seem to manifest as physical objects in my hands."
Lu Chen reflected on the numerous technique and cultivation rewards he had obtained from the spheres of light, quietly comparing the two in his mind.
Each method had its advantages and disadvantages. One allowed for direct increases in proficiency, sparing him the tedious cultivation process, while the other manifested as tangible objects, possessing significant trade value.
Like the sixth-grade Blood Vein Scripture in his hand, a sinister cultivation technique that Lu Chen dared not practice. If he could get his hands on a suitable high-grade spirit herb, he would surely exchange it without hesitation.
Lu Chen was pleased to have unexpectedly obtained two Earth Elemental Secret Manual experience packs from the twin-headed armadillos.
Returning to his cave abode, he continued to nurture his spirit herbs and beasts.
Over the next three months, he rarely ventured beyond the town of Jianmen, content to remain within the confines of the sect.
While his days were simple and monotonous, Lu Chen relished this peaceful life.
Where else could he find such opportunities that others struggled and paid a hefty price for, simply by harvesting those spheres of light?
In the field of sword grass spirits.
Lu Chen stood still with his eyes closed, facing the White Bone Killing Sword Grass spirit herb. Suddenly, his spiritual energy stirred, and a sharp sword qi burst forth from his fingertips. The sword qi was imbued with an unstoppable momentum and murderous intent as it pierced through the Black Gold rock and into the sword grass spirit herb.
"After gaining insight from the spirit herb, I've managed to grasp the preliminary Killing Sword Intent, and I'm ready to cultivate this fifth-grade White Bone Killing Sword Grass."
The Clear Sword Heart within Lu Chen's body rotated slightly as he recalled the Killing Sword Qi he had just exhibited, further deepening his impression of it.
"Fortunately, the existence of this Clear Sword Heart grants me an understanding of the Sword Dao that rivals the geniuses of the Sword Hall. Only then was I able to comprehend the Killing Sword Intent."
"If I had relied solely on my own talent, who knows how long it would have taken to even have a glimmer of understanding."
He sighed softly, feeling grateful.
Next to the White Bone Killing Sword Grass were the fourth-grade Sword Peacock and the Blue Lotus Sword Grass.
One of the two Sword Peacocks, the one planted earlier, had entered its mature stage. When sword qi formed a formation to nourish the sword grass, countless sword blades resembling peacock feathers fanned out with a flourish, dazzling and deadly.
The other Sword Peacock, still in its early stages of growth, had yet to display the splendor of a fourth-grade sword grass.
At the base of the Blue Lotus Sword Grass, where it met the spirit soil, there was a sword qi lotus platform. A straight sword blade extended upward from the center of the platform, pointing toward the sky. Sword qi, resembling lotus petals, danced and whirled around the blade, merging with it.
Lu Chen demonstrated the Blue Lotus Sword Scripture, causing streams of sword qi to sink into the illusory sword qi lotus platform. The platform rotated gently, appearing even more vivid and natural.
"Now that I've comprehended the Killing Sword Intent, perhaps I can utilize the Yang Xuan Sword Sheath to try and stimulate the sword grass spirit herb, and see if it can produce a new variety."
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck Lu Chen.
Previously, he had created a third-grade sword grass by this method. By opening the sphere of light to obtain the Wind and Thunder Sword Scripture, he placed an ordinary second-grade sword grass spirit herb into the sword sheath. Through the combined influence of wind, thunder, and the sheath's innate nourishment, an altered Wind and Thunder Sword Grass spirit herb was born.
Although this method required a significant amount of time and had a low success rate, it guaranteed a stable production of mutated sword grass spirit herbs.
"Once I get my hands on a batch of ordinary sword grass spirit herbs, I'll give it a try."
Lu Chen lifted the Yang Xuan Sword Sheath hanging at his waist, perfectly aligned with the Wind and Thunder Sword, and made a mental note.
After stimulating his spiritual power, a familiar voice echoed from the talisman, belonging to Shen Ye.
"Lu Shidi! The fifth-grade Sword Grass spirit herb inside the Sword Pool has been successfully cultivated! Congratulations!"
"If Shidi has the time, come and collect the spirit herb as soon as possible."
"The Sword Grass spirit herb has appeared?"
Lu Chen's heart was filled with joy. After Jian Tang Zhen Chuan, Jian Wu Xia, withdrew from the competition for the fifth-grade Sword Grass spirit herb, he could safely say that he had secured it for himself.
Without further ado, he summoned Fat Bird Feng Jue and rushed to Jian Tang with lightning speed.
After several dozen breaths, he arrived at the spacious square in front of Jian Tang, leaving Feng Jue behind. Lu Chen transformed into a stream of light and rushed into Shen Ye's elegant room.
"Shen Shixiong, I'm here!"
He called out to Shen Ye, who was sipping spiritual tea inside.
"Lu Shidi, there's no rush."
"I just sent you a message, and you're already here."
"Are you that eager to obtain the fifth-grade Sword Grass spirit herb?"
Shen Ye, with his gentle temperament, set down his tea cup and smiled softly.
"Of course!"
"As a spirit herbologist, the opportunity to cultivate such a rare herb is indeed exciting, and I can't help but be impatient."
Lu Chen took a moment to calm his breath and replied with a smile.
"That makes sense."
"I'm aware that Wu Xia Shijie has withdrawn from cultivating the fifth-grade Sword Grass. Although there are other sword cultivators in the sect who desire to cultivate that spirit herb, they are only slightly superior to you in terms of cultivation and sword dao."
"However, your talent surpasses them by a wide margin. To have reached the Mid-Qi Refining Realm at such a young age and mastering several high-grade sword techniques truly makes you a sword genius."
"But when it comes to cultivating sword grass, your skills are exponentially better than theirs. Having cultivated a fourth-grade sword grass and contributing the method to condense the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, a third-grade herb, there's no competition without Wu Xia Shijie. You will surely obtain the Sword Pool spirit herb."
"If it were left to the other sword cultivators, I fear that Elder Gu Jian Kong might have worried about the possibility of failure."
Shen Ye spoke with a gentle tone.
"I hope so."
Lu Chen replied briefly and sat patiently, awaiting further instructions.
From Shen Ye, he learned that the decision-making power regarding the fifth-grade Sword Grass spirit herb lay with the sect's Core Formation Elder and the True Transmission disciples. This time, his strongest competitor, Jian Wu Xia, had already made a deal with him and withdrawn from the competition.
The remaining contenders were insignificant and posed no real challenge.
Half a mark later, a handsome young man entered the room. His body was surrounded by countless sword qi phantoms that transformed into various shapes, forming sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and exotic beasts.
It was Gu Jian Kong, the sect's Foundation Establishment Elder, whom Lu Chen had met several times before, both in the new blessed land and the Qing Xuan Lu Secret Realm.
"Lu Shizi, I knew I would find you here with Shen Shizi."
"You must know why I have come."
"The Jian Tang has decided to entrust the newly cultivated fifth-grade Sword Grass spirit herb to you for cultivation and planting."
"We hope that you will nurture it well and obtain the complete fifth-grade Sword Grass as soon as possible to strengthen your own power."
A smile appeared on Gu Jian Kong's face as he handed a uniquely shaped sword-shaped spirit herb to Lu Chen.
