Chapter 492: Confidence of the Sword Dao Genius

There were forty-seven Fourth Grade Sword Symbols, of which there were eleven Roaring Sea Sword Charms, twelve Starfall Sword Charms, nine Dragon-Elephant Sword Charms, and the Great Sun Sword Charms were the most numerous with fifteen.

The number of sword symbols in Lu Xuan’s hand increased multiple times instantly, reaching as many as sixty.

"A single Fourth Grade Sword Symbol can severely injure or even kill a Foundation Establishment Mid to Late-term cultivator. With sixty, even if there’s a vast difference between the strength of the Condensing Pill Realm and Foundation Building Realm, they should still take caution when encountering me,”

He felt his firepower elevated instantly.

Fourth-grade sword symbols, coveted treasures among his peers, were just commonly available in his hands. No wonder he felt somewhat inflated.

As for the remaining ten Sword Nurturing Gourds to condense spirit seeds, Lu Xuan remembered the Method of Seed Condensation by heart. He guided his spiritual power into the gourds in a special way.

His spiritual sense perceived intense energy inside of them.

Lu Xuan carefully guided the sword qi within the gourds, and the life force of the gourds itself, slowly blending the two together.

The fusion process was extremely complex, but thanks to his continuous awareness of the condition of the spiritual plants, and after nurturing his Spiritual Sense with the Divine Essence Scroll, and cultivating the “God Derivation Sutra”, he was stronger than most Foundation Establishment cultivators, thus the successful fusion.

A tiny dot of light appeared inside the gourd. The light was faint blue, and countless minuscule sword qi circled around it in a dance, occasionally merging silently into it.

"The hardest step is solved. Now I need to hatch the light into a Sword Nurturing Gourd Spirit seed. Any false moves could result in failure. It seems I’ll have to frequent the Secret Realm during this period,”

With a thoughtful look, Lu Xuan withdrew his spiritual sense.

Following the previous steps, he incubated the nascent forms of spirit seeds in the remaining nine Sword Nurturing Gourds.

As for the Second-grade Fiery Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit, since there were only five each, he didn’t pick any, using all to condense spirit seeds.

"It’s a pity that while condensing the seeds saves a substantial amount of spirit stones and sword marks, there is no light cluster reward.”

"But this little sacrifice is for a bigger gain in the future. Losing some light cluster rewards from the second and third-grade spiritual plants is acceptable.”

Lu Xuan secretly thought, if it was a fourth-grade spiritual plant, he wouldn’t be able to accept it so easily at the moment.

He arrived at the little hill full of flames, took out the Elemental Fire Crystal, crushed it using his crystal-clear hand.

Strands of crimson flames shot out from the crystal, flying wildly in the air like fiery snakes.

"Give some as gifts, sell some, and keep two as souvenirs.”

"Once I gain more seeds from the handsome Sword Nurturing Gourd through the Method of Seed Condensation, I might try to induce some improvements.”

With a sudden whimsical thought, Lu Xuan kept a mental note.

"However, I can take my time processing them. Before that, there’s another matter to settle.”

He took out a fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owls. With its peculiar form, its branches and leaves resembled proliferating swords, and owl-like entities formed by the condensation of sword intents stood still, naturally blending into the branches. Numerous slender feathers like sword edges hang down, their sharp edges concealed.

"I need to go to the Sword Hall, deliver this fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owls to Brother Shen Ye and see if I can get some new Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.”

Due to the rarity of the Sword Grass, the rewards from its light clusters were all pretty good. Plus, as Lu Xuan was already a Sword Hall Disciple who had made quite a name for himself in the Sword Hall, getting some Sword Grass Spirit Seeds wasn’t difficult.

He called Fat Bird over and rode it rapidly towards the Sword Hall.

Just as he landed on Qingshi Square in front of the Sword Temple Main Hall, a Sword Hall Disciple had already come to meet him, leading Wind Falcon away and arranging it properly.

"Thank you for your trouble, junior.”

Lu Xuan nodded with a smile.

"No trouble at all, Brother Lu, it’s my duty,” replied the Sword Hall Disciple with a handsome face and a long sword on his back.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Lu Xuan, looking at the numerous cultivators going in and out, a smile appeared on his face.

"Sword Hall, your Sword Dao genius has returned!”

Feeling somewhat childish but utterly confident, he proclaimed inwardly.

On usual days, he was unmatched among the Sword Hall disciples when cultivating sword grass thanks to his impressive abilities in Spirit Plant cultivation. As a result, he was misunderstood by Shen Ye and others in the Sword Hall to be a Sword Dao Genius.

After all, proficiency in Sword Dao was a major prerequisite for cultivating Sword Grass.

But Lu Xuan was self-aware. He could cultivate Sword Grass mainly because of his detailed grasp of the state of the Spirit Plants and the Sword Intent experience packages he absorbed. His aptitude in Sword Dao was ordinary, requiring several times more time and effort than others to barely cultivate high-grade Sword Grass.

But now it was different, he had obtained the Clear Sword Heart, a treasure that made him a true genius in Sword Dao.
