Chapter 966: Inborn Spirit Roots
Chapter 966: Inborn Spirit Roots
After acquiring the two Heavenly Essence Fruit spirit seeds, over a year quickly passed.
Lu Xuan's cave abode had undergone significant changes since he first arrived. The numerous Sword Grass plants were thriving, growing robustly. The small Sword Pool he had created was now fully adapted to its new environment, with over thirty Sword Grass Fish swimming about.
The sword qi emanating from his body had increased, gently nourishing the surrounding Sword Grass. Both Heavenly Essence Fruit spirit seeds had sprouted, the young seedlings about three inches tall, resembling white jade. Dense spiritual energy gathered around them, forming a milky-white spiritual mist that enveloped the seedlings.
The previously planted Sixth Rank Star Shift Sword Grass and Qingxuan Withering Sword Grass were also growing well. The seven pale green Sword Grass plants, though only finger-sized, responded to each other as a cohesive unit. The subtle sword qi flowing in the surrounding area seemed to form the Nascent Form of a powerful sword array.
Lu Xuan took out a bottle of special sword qi spiritual liquid he had collected from the Heart Sword Lake. The spiritual liquid floated above the numerous Sword Grass plants, gently rotating. With a thought, the liquid divided into fine, mist-like droplets that rained down, seeping into the Sword Grass.
After nourishing the Sword Grass with the sword qi spiritual liquid, Lu Xuan approached the high-rank Sword Grass plants and performed the corresponding sword techniques and arrays, carefully cultivating them.
Over the past year, he had visited the Sword Palace's scripture hall again, learning the advanced parts of the Qingxuan Withering Sword Array. With the help of his Clear Sword Heart, he gradually mastered the array. At his current level, the growth of the seven Qingxuan Withering Sword Grass plants would not be an issue for the early to mid-stages.
"Almost two years since I returned to the Sword Sect, it's finally time to harvest the light orbs."
He went to the spiritual field where he had planted the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and the Small Void Profound Sword Gourds. After deciding to return to the Sword Sect from the Heavenly Star Cave, he had transplanted dozens of Thousand Thunder Sword Grass plants, Small Void Profound Sword Gourds, and the Star Shift Sword Grass to his cave abode.
In the better spiritual environment of the Sword Sect and the influence of the Sword Grass Fish, the growth cycle of these Fourth Rank Sword Grass and Sword Gourds was slightly shortened. Now, they were all fully mature.
Dozens of deep green vines climbed along the cliff, with numerous mottled green gourds hanging here and there, barely visible. A gentle breeze made the gourds sway, and faint sword ringing sounds could be heard, as if sharp sword qi might shoot out at any moment.
"Total of fifty-four Sword Gourds. I'll keep ten for replanting and harvest the rest."
Lu Xuan transformed into a white light, darting through the thick vines and quickly picking over forty mature Sword Gourds.
Forty-four white light orbs quietly appeared, hanging on the vines and emitting a soft white glow.
"Forty-four draws, not bad."
Lu Xuan's white light touched all the orbs, and instantly, dozens of orbs silently shattered, turning into a shower of fine light points that rose into the sky. Then, countless light points condensed into thin streams of light, flowing into Lu Xuan's body.
At the same time, thoughts raced through his mind like a rapid procession.
[Harvested one Fourth Rank Small Void Profound Sword Gourd, obtained a Fifth Rank Yin Sword Talisman.]
[Harvested one Fourth Rank Small Void Profound Sword Gourd, obtained the Sword Talisman Annotation insights.]
[Harvested...]
Various treasures appeared before him or emerged in the depths of his consciousness. The forty-four white light orbs yielded a total of thirty-one Fifth Rank Yin Sword Talismans and True Malevolent Sword Talismans, eight Void Profound Sword Intentions, and five Sword Talisman Annotation insight experience packs.
"The success rate and quality of my talisman creation have improved further."
Lu Xuan absorbed and digested the vast amount of information in his mind, reaching a new level of understanding in drawing sword talismans.
"Thirty-one fifth-rank Sword Charms, and I can sell a large batch of Sword Seals again."
Lu Chen happily stored all the Sword Charms and made his way to the area where the Thousand Lightning Sword Grass grew.
The growth of the Thousand Lightning Sword Grass was slightly slower than that of the Lesser Cavern Sword Gourd, but after Lu Chen used a small portion of the Wood Spirit Green Flask's plant essence, it matured almost simultaneously.
In the vast field of Sword Grass, silver-white lightning flickered and crackled, creating a series of buzzing sounds.
Lu Chen's hand turned a translucent jade color as he carefully pulled out each plant of Thousand Lightning Sword Grass.
After reserving some for seed propagation, he had forty-two remaining plants.
Forty-two white light orbs lay quietly in the field, gently shimmering.
"Another forty-plus draws."
Lu Chen found immense joy in harvesting treasures from the light orbs. He transformed into a silver-white streak of light, touching all the orbs at once.
In an instant, the forty-two white light orbs shattered simultaneously, like fireworks bursting into a sky of fine light particles.
The particles rapidly condensed into thin streams of light, flowing into Lu Chen's body one after another.
Thoughts flashed through his mind.
[Harvested one fourth-rank Thousand Lightning Sword Grass, obtained fifth-rank True Essence Sword Liquid.]
[Harvested one fourth-rank Thousand Lightning Sword Grass, obtained fifth-rank Thunderclap Sword Heart.]
[Harvested...]
From the forty-two white light orbs, he obtained nineteen True Essence Sword Liquids, nine Thunderclap Sword Hearts, and seven True Essence Sword Liquid Formula Experience Packs.
"Finally, I have enough for the sixth-rank Thousand Lightning Sword Formation."
With a thought, eleven silver-white flying swords he had previously harvested emerged from his sleeve, joining the seven new ones.
In a moment of enlightenment, as the sword formation was completed, Lu Chen seemed to grasp the essence of the sixth-rank Thousand Lightning Sword Formation. The eighteen silver-white flying swords danced in harmony, merging and separating with ease.
With another thought, countless lightning bolts, as thick as fingers, shot out, forming a terrifying sea of lightning centered around the sword formation.
The sea of lightning contained boundless power, with silver-white light endlessly shining, illuminating the entire cave. It seemed capable of reducing anything that entered it to dust.
"A sixth-rank sword formation... indeed no small feat."
Lu Chen roughly gauged the power of the Thousand Lightning Sword Formation and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
While the Thousand Lightning Sword Formation's power did not match that of the Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Needle or the Southern Bright Lightning Fire Mirror, both seventh-rank treasures, it far exceeded most of Lu Chen's other abilities.
More importantly, he could maintain the sword formation for a long time, unlike those seventh-rank treasures, which could only be used in critical moments.
Pleased with the numerous treasures he had harvested, Lu Chen carefully stored them and entered the inner part of the True Essence Sword Peak with a bottle of True Essence Sword Liquid.
"It's time to feed the old sword dragon."
Lu Chen slowly made his way deeper.
Over the past two years, he had periodically brought the old sword dragon a bottle of True Essence Sword Liquid, a significant investment.
However, his long-term efforts seemed to be paying off today.
"I heard you are a Spirit Herbalist?"
The old sword dragon gulped down a bottle of silver-gray sword liquid and casually asked Lu Chen.
"Reporting to Senior, I am indeed a Spirit Herbalist, skilled in cultivating various spirit plants. That is why the Sword Master brought me into the True Essence Sword Peak."
Lu Chen's heart raced, but he maintained a calm demeanor.
"Thank you for all the True Essence Sword Liquid you've provided over this period."
"The True Essence Sword Liquid in the Sword Peak isn't enough for my consumption, so I assume you've been brewing it."
"I have a nearly withered Xiantian Linggen here, which is of no use to me. I'll give it to you."
The old sword dragon's aged voice echoed in Lu Chen's ears.
