Chapter 843: The True Sword Essence
Chapter 843: The True Sword Essence
"Unknowingly, I've managed to collect quite a few Seventh-grade Spirit Herbs."
Lu Chen gazed at the several high-grade spirit herbs growing well in his core spirit field, a hint of satisfaction flashing across his face.
"Yimu Qingleiteng, the Eightfold Palace, the Azure Dragon Tree, the Clear Rainbow Immortal Realm, the Twin White Lotus, and the Yellow Spring Immortal Tree from the Stellar Source of Fengyuan."
"I'd say my collection rivals that of a medium-sized sect; my foundations are truly profound."
Each of these six Seventh-grade Spirit Herbs had been acquired through great effort: some were cultivated under commissions from Yuan Ying True Lords, some were obtained through exploring secret realms or purchased at high prices, and others were cleverly acquired through Lu Chen's unique abilities with spirit herbs.
"I wonder what these Seventh-grade Spirit Herbs will look like when they mature."
The thought of possibly receiving a light group reward upon harvesting the Seventh-grade Spirit Herbs filled Lu Chen with enthusiasm.
He continued to tend to the other high-grade spirit herbs in his spirit fields.
A sizable number of the Wanxiang Grasses had already grown to a considerable height, each one unique in form, giving off a sense of wild and unrestrained growth.
In the high skies above the cave mansion, the stargazing fruits rotated slightly, their surfaces shimmering with dazzling light, as if communicating with the myriad stars at the edge of the sky.
Upon entering the spirit field where the Huangliang Wood was located, one would feel as if they had stepped into a hazy world, their eyes filled with all sorts of illusory visions, as if in a dream.
Fortunately, Lu Chen's willpower was firm, and his spiritual sense was powerful enough to guard his mind, preventing him from being drawn into the illusory world of the Huangliang Wood.
After nurturing the Huangliang Wood, he returned to reality with a sense of detachment.
The Dianyin Dayang Fruit, the Confining Spirit Cage, the Flying Thunder Herb, the Dragon Transformation Grass...
Each of these high-grade spirit herbs received ample nourishment.
Months passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Lu Chen mostly stayed within his cave mansion, even declining invitations to gather with fellow cultivators he had come to know from the Leihuodong Cave.
Of course, he still kept himself informed about the progress of the demonic intruders in the Tianxing Cave.
"More spirit herbs have matured."
Lu Chen arrived at the sword grass spirit field and, after cultivating the Move the Stars and Replace the Sun sword grass, found that three out of the twenty fourth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grasses had fully matured.
The silvery-white sword grasses pointed straight at the sky, surrounded by flickering arcs of electricity and permeated with sword intent.
Ignoring the subtle sword energy drifting around, he carefully dug out the three sword grasses with his palm, which had transformed into a translucent jade color.
"Two good ones and one superior—all of excellent quality."
Lu Chen was pleased with the quality of these fourth-grade spirit herbs. His gaze fell upon the three white light groups that had silently appeared.
He adjusted his breathing and gently touched one of the white light groups.
The light group shattered silently, turning into countless tiny specks of light that soared into the sky.
In an instant, they condensed into a pale white pillar of light that disappeared into Lu Chen's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
Harvest one fourth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and obtain a fifth-grade treasure, the Thunderous Sword Heart.
As the thought vanished, a Thunderous Sword Heart appeared before him.
The sword heart resembled a tiny silver-white hedgehog, its surface flickering with countless bolts of lightning and surrounded by sharp sword intent.
Upon closer inspection, one could discern countless fine filaments of light within, accompanied by faint sword cries and rumbling thunder.
This treasure was the same Thunderous Sword Heart he had obtained before. Once refined, it could temper one's sword heart with thunderous energy, leading to a slight improvement in sword talent over time, similar in effect to the Illuminating Sword Heart.
"Refining one Thunderous Sword Heart is sufficient; refining more would yield very limited improvements. I'll put the rest up for sale in the miscellaneous shop's small auction a few months from now."
Harvest one fourth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and obtain the sixth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Formation (3/18)
.
As the thought flashed by, a silver-white flying sword appeared before him.
It was the fifth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword, imbued with powerful thunderous auras. With a gentle wave, countless thunderous rays shot out, creating an imposing display.
Eighteen swords of the same origin could form the sixth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Formation.
"With the two I obtained earlier and this one, I now have a total of three Thousand Thunder Swords."
"There are still seventeen or eighteen Thousand Thunder Sword Grasses left in the spirit field, and with my knowledge of the condensation technique, it won't be long before I can complete the Thousand Thunder Sword Formation that can easily destroy Golden Core True Lords."
Lu Chen was confident about collecting all the swords needed for the sixth-grade sword formation.
"And now, the last white light group."
The third white light group was left by the superior-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, which heightened Lu Chen's anticipation.
He gently touched the third light group, and in an instant, it shattered silently. Countless tiny specks of light condensed into a slender river of light that flowed into his body.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Harvest one fourth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and obtain a fifth-grade treasure, the True Sword Liquid.
As the thought vanished, a ball of peculiar spirit liquid appeared before Lu Chen.
The spirit liquid was silver-grey, with ripples of faint light shimmering within. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was filled with extremely fine sword rays.
As he moved closer to the spirit liquid, Lu Chen felt his Clear Sword Heart and the Thunderous Sword Heart become suddenly more vibrant.
"A spirit liquid imbued with countless sword rays..."
Lu Chen furrowed his brows, his mind focusing on the peculiar spirit liquid before him.
Instantly, detailed information about the liquid appeared in his sea of consciousness.
True Sword Liquid, a fifth-grade treasure. It is said that a Taishang Elder of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, who had reached the Transformation Realm, collected various sword-attributed spirit herbs and infused them with his unique sword qi, eventually creating this special spirit brew after years of research.
Aside from its rich flavor, when consumed by a cultivator, it induces a state of returning to the origin of the sword path, enhancing their understanding of sword techniques and supernatural abilities.
"Yet another type of fifth-grade spirit liquid, but I've never heard of this one before."
Lu Chen was astonished.
"A fifth-grade special spirit liquid created from various sword-attributed spirit herbs and the sword qi of a Transformation Realm expert."
Although he found it hard to believe that such a treasure existed, he couldn't deny the thought that had appeared in his mind.
"Come to think of it, although I've never entered the famed Dongxuan Sword Sect, I seem to have unconsciously developed many connections with it."
Lu Chen couldn't help but marvel at this realization.
With the Dongxuan Sword Tablet, the Dongxuan Sword Intent, the Move the Stars and Replace the Sun sword grass, and now the True Sword Liquid, he had gained access to resources that even regular inner sect disciples of the Dongxuan Sword Sect might not easily obtain.
"Let's see how it tastes."
With a thought, a wisp of silver-grey spirit liquid floated out and entered his mouth.
"The spirit liquid has an extremely rich and lingering flavor. More importantly, the extremely fine sword qi within seems to stimulate my taste buds, further enhancing the sensation brought about by the liquid."
Lu Chen savored the unique taste of the True Sword Liquid, his mind buzzing with thoughts.
Then, with a slight stir of his spiritual power, a sword light filled with murderous intent shot out.
"I seem to have gained new insights into the Kill-Alive Sword Scripture. If I consume a sufficient amount of True Sword Liquid, my sword talent should improve significantly."
He marveled at the effects of the spirit liquid.
