Chapter 718: The Cave Mystical Sword Stela
Chapter 718: The Cave Mystical Sword Stela
Lu Chen examined the White Bone Killing Sword Grass in his hand, his eyes lingering on it reluctantly before he finally placed it into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch. Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a white light cluster that quietly appeared below.
The light cluster flickered subtly, and despite Lu Chen having harvested countless such clusters, it still held a unique allure to him.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light cluster. In an instant, it silently shattered, sending countless tiny specks of light soaring into the sky. The specks swiftly converged in the air, forming a stele phantom that shot into Lu Chen's body like lightning.
Immediately, a thought emerged in his mind.
You have harvested a 5th-grade White Bone Killing Sword Grass and obtained a 6th-grade treasure, the Cave Mystical Sword Stela.
As the thought faded, a mottled stele appeared before Lu Chen.
The stele was about three feet long, ancient and weathered, as if it had endured countless ages. On its front were the characters 'Cave Mystical,' each stroke penetrating a third of the stele's depth, seemingly left by sword qi.
On the back of the stele, an invisible small sword hovered within, floating and sinking, appearing and disappearing as if it could burst forth with infinite sword intent at any moment.
Lu Chen's consciousness focused on the mottled stele, and he immediately understood its detailed information.
Cave Mystical Sword Stela, a 6th-grade treasure, originates from the Cave Mystical Sword Sect, an unparalleled Sword Dao Sect in the Canglan Realm. It was refined by the sect's Nascent Soul True Lord using countless sword auras gathered from the unique Cave Mystical Sword Domain.
The Sword Stela is a token of the Cave Mystical Sword Sect and has a close connection to the Cave Mystical Sword Domain, serving as a key to entering that domain.
The Sword Stela is a combination of countless pure sword intents. When a Sword Cultivator cultivates beside the Cave Mystical Sword Stela, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort in their Sword Dao cultivation. Additionally, the Sword Stela can influence the surrounding area, gradually transforming it into a small secret realm imbued with sword intent.
"A 6th-grade treasure, the Cave Mystical Sword Stela, an excellent Sword Dao assistive treasure," Lu Chen said, his eyes shining with delight as he held the mottled stele.
"Not only can the Sword Stela assist me in cultivating Sword Dao techniques, but it can also influence the surrounding space, creating a place akin to a sword intent secret realm."
These two functions were incredibly useful to Lu Chen in his current situation, especially the latter, as it gave him the opportunity to stimulate and improve the quality of his sword grasses.
He had already successfully cultivated the third-grade Thunderblade Sword Grass, but if he wanted to improve it further and create a new variety of fourth or even fifth-grade sword grass, he would ideally need a spiritual land similar to the Heavenly Sword Sect's sword pool secret realm.
And now, with the Cave Mystical Sword Stela, there was hope for such a miraculous transformation.
"There's providence at work in this world," Lu Chen murmured.
"When Tian Jianzong, Ge Pu, and the others returned to the Cave Mystical Sword Sect, I thought our connection was severed. But now, this Sword Stela has given me a chance to reconnect with my old friends."
"As a token to enter the Cave Mystical Sword Domain, perhaps I'll have the opportunity to meet them again."
"When that time comes, I wonder what their reaction will be if I appear before them with one or two improved fifth-grade sword grasses."
Lu Chen's heart stirred with anticipation.
He looked around and buried the Cave Mystical Sword Stela in the middle of the spiritual field where vast sword grasses were planted. Then, he performed the Earth-Drawing Technique, and within a few breaths, a simple stone house emerged from the soil.
"This will be my place for comprehending and cultivating sword manuals from now on," he said softly, before turning to inspect another fifth-grade sword grass nearby, the Light-Dividing Shadow-Fleeing Sword Grass.
Due to his later realization of the Light-Dividing Sword Scripture compared to the Killing Sword Scripture, the progress bar below the Light-Dividing Shadow-Fleeing Sword Grass was slightly shorter. However, based on its normal growth trajectory, the sword grass wouldn't take long to reach full maturity.
As for the mature fifth-grade White Bone Killing Sword Grass, Lu Chen intended to keep it with him for the time being.
The sword grass was already extraordinary, and combined with his comprehension of the superior sword manual, the Killing Sword Scripture, they complemented each other perfectly, providing him with an additional means of self-protection.
The sound of humming filled the air as the tree nymph hiding within the Yimu Qingleiteng emerged, fluttering her delicate wings as she flew around Lu Chen playfully.
"How are you doing? Are you comfortable staying in the cave mansion?" Lu Chen asked gently, looking at the exquisite and adorable tree sprite.
"So many high-grade spirit plants!" the little tree nymph conveyed her thoughts to Lu Chen.
They never expected that entering this place would be like stepping into a utopia.
Rare spiritual plants were everywhere, vibrant and lush, providing abundant nourishment for these little sprites. Their originally slender bodies had become more rounded and healthy.
Their biggest concern was no longer how to absorb enough wood spirit qi but rather the delightful dilemma of choosing which spirit plant to feast on.
This feeling intensified even more after Lu Chen brought back several high-grade spirit seeds in the past two days.
Content in their new home, they forgot about their kin and the Xuanji Treemother far away in the Azurewood Star Cave.
Lu Chen soothed them briefly before returning to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Fatbird lay lazily on the ground, occasionally glancing at the corner where the Leilong Lion and the Qingyue Qilin cub were playing together.
The Qingyue Qilin cub was still very young, not yet displaying the domineering talent of subduing all beasts.
Leilong Lion, with his new little companion, had become much more sociable. He ran around with the Qilin cub, acting like a caring big brother who wanted to take good care of his little sibling.
"I'm in a good mood today, so let's have a proper gathering," Lu Chen sent a thought to all the spirit beasts in the cave mansion.
He then took out a large pile of processed demon beast meat from his storage bag.
On his trip to the Huanxi Star Cave, he had also stocked up on a large quantity of delicious demon beast meat from the Wanling Restaurant. Together with the various kinds of spirit brews and fruits of different grades in the cave mansion, they had the makings of a grand feast.
"I've plucked several sixth and seventh-grade spirit seeds, and I've also obtained the sixth-grade Dongxuan Sword Stela. We must celebrate!" Lu Chen thought to himself as he entered the house and took out the bottle of Monkey Demon Wine that had finished brewing.
He poured a full cup for himself and each of his spirit beasts.
Leilong Lion, Qingyue Qilin, and the others held their cups delicately and sipped the golden spirit wine slowly.
Lihuo Jiao and Fatbird, on the other hand, sucked the wine up with gusto, draining their cups in one go.
Several of the little tree nymphs shrank in size and stood along the rim of the cup, reveling in the potent alcohol of the Monkey Demon Wine.
The transparent medicine insect simply soaked itself in the wine, causing the golden liquid to slowly descend.
Lu Chen smiled and took a big gulp of the Monkey Demon Wine in his hand.
Instantly, the golden spirit wine coursed through his limbs and bones, his blood surging with warmth and vigor, filling him with boundless energy.
He stood up, swaying slightly, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, and stumbled towards each of the spirit beasts, ruffling their fur or stroking their heads affectionately.
"Come on, let's make a heart shape~" Lu Chen walked up to the Cloud-Stepping Lynx and tugged at its fur, despite its half-hearted resistance.
"Roar~"
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx let out a coarse yet affectionate growl as it tried to break free, ultimately resigning itself to staying put.
Lu Chen tugged at the grayish-white fur on the tips of its ears, shaping it into a heart pattern.
He smiled as he watched the various spirit beasts frolicking drunkenly in the courtyard, enjoying the lively atmosphere.
