Chapter 796: Thunderous Sword Heart, Thousand Lightning Sword Array
Whatever happened in the Black Water Star Cave had little to do with Lu Chen.
Along with his incarnation Ling Gu, he left safely and returned to their respective caves.
"An expedition with gains but no peril."
Lu Chen opened the Wanzhang Xuanjing Formation and entered his cave.
On this trip, guided by the Tuolong Pearl, he had ventured alone into the hidden Tuolong cave.
He had only encountered a few deep-sea ferocious beasts, numerous mutated Han Yu snakes, and the Tuolong essence spirit in the stone temple.
Among them, the Han Yu snakes and the essence spirit were quite powerful, and ordinary cultivators in the middle stages of pill formation would not have been able to deal with them as effortlessly as Lu Chen did.
His harvest was also significant.
The most valuable finds were undoubtedly the seventh-grade Tuolong corpse and the three prematurely born little Tuolong dragons.
One could be used to nurture the Canglong tree, and the other would bring Lu Chen abundant light sphere rewards.
Additionally, he had obtained several fresh Han Yu snake corpses and five dragon-bone grass spirit seeds.
"Those Han Yu snakes should be enough to nurture the Canglong tree to maturity. Perhaps I'll only need the Tuolong corpse to give it a boost during the final stages," Lu Chen thought to himself.
"I can bury the corpse in the spiritual field where the Canglong tree and Hualong grass are planted, gradually creating a treasure trove of dragon qi, fostering their growth and that of the little Tuolong dragons."
He arrived at the core spiritual field, planted the five dragon-bone grass seeds within, and buried the Tuolong corpse.
Lastly, he placed the three pale white spheres there as well, allowing them to be nourished by the dragon qi.
"I'll also need to expand the small lake; otherwise, it won't be enough to accommodate these three little dragon offspring," Lu Chen frowned slightly.
The small lake already housed the Lihuo Jiao, Qingjiao Longli, and Yanjia Gui, and with the addition of the three little Tuolong dragons, they would barely have room to turn around.
Lu Chen flew to the lakeside and, with a display of his mastery in earth manipulation techniques, expanded the area of the small lake severalfold while the spiritual beasts looked on, bewildered.
After his trip to the Black Water Star Cave, Lu Chen returned to his simple life as a spiritual herbologist.
Each day was spent cultivating spiritual plants and beasts, and his life was peaceful and fulfilling.
A month later, he happened to hear news about the cave of the Flood Dragon from a familiar friend, a Golden Core cultivator.
It was said that numerous cultivators had rushed into the cave, but none had come out with anything. It seemed that the treasures within had been taken by a few Foundation Establishment cultivators who had entered first.
Unfortunately, those Foundation Establishment cultivators had not been seen since their lucky escape, leaving countless cultivators envious of their ability to monopolize such rare treasures.
Lu Chen could only smile and express his envy as well.
In the spiritual field...
Lu Chen strolled through the ridges of the spiritual field, tending to the countless spiritual plants with care.
During his work, he came across the grass puppet that had been constantly patrolling the area.
"You've been diligent day after day. Good job," Lu Chen praised, his finger emitting a strand of green wood source qi that seeped into the grass puppet's gray-black lump.
The grass puppet's large head turned green, and the color spread throughout its body, infusing it with vibrant vitality.
Through his spiritual sense, Lu Chen felt a grateful thought from the special puppet, which had extremely low spiritual intelligence.
"You've been with me the longest. I should find an opportunity to enhance you again," Lu Chen thought to himself, gazing at the arrow vines hanging in front of him, two thoughts forming in his mind.
"When the time is right, I'll infuse the two-faced holy infant into your body."
He recalled a treasure he had once obtained from the holy infant fruit—a double-sided infant with a calm face on one side and a fierce face on the other.
Lu Chen, or rather, Lu Xuan, turned his attention back to inspecting the growth of the numerous spirit plants.
He arrived at the Sword Grass area and stood quietly beside the Move Stars and Replace Days Sword Grass, immersing his mind in sword intent, sensing the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, and gaining new insights.
"As expected of a sixth-grade sword grass, it took quite some time, but I finally grasped some of its intricacies."
"Of course, the Transparent Sword Heart played a significant role; otherwise, with my sword cultivation talent, understanding that sword intent would have been a pipe dream."
Lu Xuan was satisfied as he moved on to the Thousand Lightning Sword Grass area.
"Hmm, three stalks of Thousand Lightning Sword Grass have matured!"
He focused his mind on the silver-white sword grass and was surprised to see the semi-transparent progress bar below it.
The silver-white sword grass towered towards the sky, its blade shimmering with countless lightning streaks, and the surrounding area filled with sharp sword intent.
He carefully pulled out the three stalks of fourth-grade Thousand Lightning Sword Grass.
[Thousand Lightning Sword Grass, fourth-grade spirit plant, evolved from ordinary second-grade sword grass under the influence of dense lightning energy and stimulation from sword cultivation treasures. It is inherently a sword weapon, imbued with vast lightning energy, and extremely effective in combat.]
"Equivalent to a fourth-grade flying sword, and of fairly good quality. It should fetch a decent price at the miscellaneous goods store," Lu Xuan mused.
His gaze then fell upon the three white spheres that had quietly appeared.
Reaching out, he gently touched the nearest one.
The sphere shattered silently, transforming into countless glittering specks of light that filled the air.
The myriad specks of light, like tiny sword auras, swiftly condensed into a slender river of light and rushed into Lu Xuan's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested a stalk of fourth-grade Thousand Lightning Sword Grass, obtained a fifth-grade treasure: Thunderous Sword Heart.]
As the thought vanished, a peculiar treasure appeared before him.
The treasure resembled a tiny hedgehog, bristling with countless slender silver-white lightning spines that flickered and pulsed with sharp sword intent.
Within it were countless silvery-white filaments as fine as hair, and upon closer inspection, he realized that these filaments were actually formed by the convergence of sword intent.
Listening intently, he could hear a faint rumble of thunder emanating from the treasure, and as the thunder rolled, it seemed to infuse a trace of staunch and domineering energy into Lu Xuan's body.
He focused his mind on the treasure before him, instantly gaining a detailed understanding of it.
[Thunderous Sword Heart, fifth-grade treasure. Upon refinement, it can temper one's sword heart with lightning energy, and over time, it can slightly enhance one's sword cultivation talent.]
"It's quite similar to the Transparent Sword Heart I obtained before," Lu Xuan remarked.
"However, the Transparent Sword Heart leans more towards techniques, aiding me in comprehending various sword incantations."
"This Thunderous Sword Heart, on the other hand, leans more towards the path of the sword, but its effects are not as pronounced as the Transparent Sword Heart."
Lu Xuan made a brief comparison between the two sword cultivation treasures, then turned his attention to the second white sphere.
Even after having touched countless spheres, he still felt a sense of anticipation.
He anticipated the emergence of various wondrous high-level treasures.
The sphere shattered silently at his touch, transforming into countless minute specks of light that swirled around him.
The myriad specks of light coalesced and took the form of countless tiny sword shadows, which instantly merged into his body.
Simultaneously, a thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.
[Harvested a stalk of fourth-grade Thousand Lightning Sword Grass, obtained a sixth-grade formation: Thousand Lightning Sword Array (1/18)
.]
"Hmm?"
As the thought vanished, Lu Xuan lowered his head, his eyes falling upon the silver-white flying sword that had appeared before him, and his mind was filled with countless questions.
