Chapter 759: The Thousand Thunder Swordgrass
Chapter 759: The Thousand Thunder Swordgrass
After settling all matters regarding the new cave in the Feng Yuan Star Cave, Lu Chen returned to the Lei Huo Star Cave with the Five Zang Canging Temple.
During this period, everything in the Lei Huo Star Cave remained calm and no incidents of cultivators or demonic invasions occurred.
For the following period, Lu Chen stayed secluded, content to tend to his spiritual plants, refine treasures, and cultivate his martial arts and divine abilities.
A month passed, and the Five Zang Canging Temple had perfectly merged with his organs, constantly nourishing them while absorbing the excess essence within his body and storing it within the treasure.
During the refinement process, he also diligently practiced the incomplete Ling Ying Sheng Yan Fa. Although he had successfully refined an incarnation, further mastery of this secret art would allow him to better control and strengthen his connection with it.
Additionally, he spent a significant amount of time cultivating the Xuan Tian Qing Wei Miao Fa and the first level of the Shen Xiao Zhen Fa. In his spare time, he also refined pills and artifacts to earn some spirit stones for himself.
Swordgrass Spirit Field Zone.
The Dong Xuan Sword Monument stood in the center of the spirit field, emitting intangible sword intent that filled the entire area and nourished the countless Thunder Swordgrass within.
At the edge of the spirit field, a mottled and ancient sword scabbard leaned against a stalk of Thunder Swordgrass, with several flying swords glowing with starlight crammed into the opening of the scabbard.
"You're living quite a comfortable life," Lu Chen muttered.
Now that he possessed the rare sword art treasure, the Dong Xuan Sword Monument, he had placed the Yang Xuan Sword Scabbard in the Swordgrass Spirit Field, allowing it to bask in the nourishing sword intent along with its harem of flying swords.
The Yang Xuan Sword Scabbard, having been nourished by countless flying swords and the sword intent of the Dong Xuan Sword Monument, had regained a significant amount of its sentience. When Lu Chen sensed it with his spiritual consciousness, he could even vaguely perceive its thoughts.
The way the flying swords were inserted had also changed. Initially passive, they now actively sought out the sword intent, taking turns to be part of its harem.
Lu Chen walked forward and pulled out the several flying swords inserted into the scabbard together.
The scabbard let out a clear sword cry, conveying a mixture of pleasure and pain.
"Useless scabbard!" Lu Chen muttered under his breath as he grabbed the scabbard and shook it vigorously, causing seven or eight silver-white swordgrass spirit seeds to roll out.
"Enjoying the nourishment meant for my spirit seeds, huh? If there aren't any results, I'll make you go without flying swords for half a year," he said as he picked up the Thunder Swordgrass spirit seeds and examined them carefully.
He had been attempting to improve and create new types of swordgrass spirit plants, and he had two methods for doing so. One was to place the spirit seeds within the Yang Xuan Sword Scabbard to be nurtured, and the other was to cultivate the spirit plants near the Dong Xuan Sword Monument, allowing them to be nourished by its intangible sword intent.
"The results seem pretty good," he commented as he observed the slender silver-white spirit seed in his hand, which had undergone noticeable changes compared to the original Thunder Swordgrass spirit seed.
Fine strands of subtle thunder light could be seen on the surface of the spirit seed, faintly visible and giving off a slight numbing sensation when held.
He performed the Earth Drawing Technique, planting the improved Thunder Swordgrass spirit seed into the spirit soil, and focused his mental energy on it.
Thousand Thunder Swordgrass, a fourth-grade spirit plant. The third-grade Thunder Swordgrass has been improved under the nourishment of a mysterious sword art treasure. During its growth stage, it absorbs sword energy with thunder attributes.
Innately a sword artifact, its mature form contains a dense concentration of thunder energy. It can unleash a continuous stream of thunderous sword energy, making it extremely powerful.
"Finally, a fourth-grade swordgrass," Lu Chen said with a smile as he stood up.
"If I were still in Tian Jian Zong, and presented this new fourth-grade swordgrass spirit seed to the Sword Hall, I wonder what kind of uproar it would cause?"
He couldn't help but recall the commotion that had occurred when he first improved the Wind Thunder Swordgrass.
"Fortunately, I have the means to nurture the Yang Xuan Sword Sheath and the Dong Xuan Sword Monument, as well as my unique ability to monitor the swordgrass spirit plants' condition at all times. With these three advantages, it's only a matter of time before I succeed in creating a new fifth-grade swordgrass."
Lu Chen was brimming with confidence.
He planted the new fourth-grade swordgrass into the spirit soil and took out some third-grade swordgrass spirit seeds, which he proceeded to insert into the ancient sword sheath.
"Keep nurturing them well. If you perform exceptionally, I'll find a way to get you a flying sword treasure. I guarantee you'll be so entertained that you'll forget about everything else," he said, making a promise to the sword sheath.
In the Swordgrass Spirit Field Zone, Lu Chen had no intention of harvesting the Thunder Swordgrass for the time being. Instead, he focused on condensing as many spirit seeds as possible, casting a wide net with the hope of improving and creating more fourth-grade swordgrass spirit seeds.
When the time came, the reward for a fourth-grade swordgrass light group would far surpass that of a dozen third-grade swordgrass light groups.
After tending to the Thunder Swordgrass and the Sword-Nurturing Gourd, Lu Chen made his way to the other spirit fields.
A new batch of Ice Firefly Herbs had taken root and sprouted, their pale blue seedlings trembling in the gentle breeze. Faint white icy spirit energy rose from the seedlings, and a thin layer of frost, delicate as dragonfly wings, had formed on the surface of the spirit soil.
Suddenly, a streak of silver-white spiritual light flashed before him, and within it, Lu Chen could barely make out the silhouette of a spirit herb that resembled a tiny humanoid.
Immediately after, another bolt of silver-white thunder light streaked through, leaving afterimages in its wake as it sped towards the spirit herb and intercepted it.
The thunder light faded, revealing a Thunder Dragon Dog cub with an unusual herb in its mouth.
The herb was entirely silver-white, with faint thunder light flickering across its leaves and branches. Numerous roots of varying lengths waved randomly in the air, struggling to break free from the Thunder Dragon Dog cub's mouth.
"Well done," Lu Chen praised, reaching out to pat the cub's head and scratching its sharp horn. He rewarded it with a Thunder Burst Lotus seed.
He then plucked the silver-white spirit herb from the cub's mouth and flicked it with his finger.
Tendrils of thunder light spread across the herb.
"You little rascal, escaping again?" Lu Chen chuckled.
As the Flying Thunder Herb continued to grow, the simple restriction Lu Chen had placed on it was no longer sufficient to contain it. It frequently broke free, attracted to the sixth-grade Purple Lightning Violet Thunder Fruit and the seventh-grade Yin Wood Blue Thunder Vine.
However, with the protection of the array in his cave, and the absence of any thunder-attribute treasures outside, Lu Chen wasn't too concerned about the herb being stolen.
The Flying Thunder Herb's frequent escapes had become a nuisance, and each time, Lu Chen had to retrieve it. Eventually, he entrusted the task to the Thunder Dragon Dog cub, which possessed a strong perception of thunder-attribute spirit plants and was far faster than the herb.
The cub took great pleasure in helping Lu Chen and playing this little game.
"It seems that besides refining pills and artifacts, I also need to enhance my abilities in array formation," Lu Chen mused.
Currently, he could only set up simple restrictions, which were inadequate for containing the constantly growing Flying Thunder Herb.
The arrays within his cave had all come from light group rewards, and Lu Chen himself was not well-versed in the ways of array formation.
"I recall that the Five Elements Fruit light group once yielded the Extinction Five Elements Array, and the five elements power is commonly found in various arrays. I should be able to obtain more array-related treasures in future light groups," Lu Chen thought to himself.
