Chapter 533: Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass
The spirit seed was as thick as a finger, long and slim, resembling a translucent small sword at first glance, with a faint ripple passing over it. Upon a closer look, it was found to consist of countless tiny sword qi.
"Thank you, Master Gu!”
"With Master’s generous love, I will surely live up to your trust and properly cultivate this five-rank sword grass spirit seed!”
Lu Xuan, suppressing the excitement in his heart, lowered his head and respectfully accepted the sword grass spirit seed with both hands.
"Haha, with Nephew Lu’s expertise in spirit plants, there should be no problem.”
Gu Jian Kong had already understood the profound knowledge that Lu Xuan had in spirit plants when he was opening up a new blessed land, and therefore had complete confidence in him.
Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude once again. After Gu Jian Kong left, he then started to scrutinize the spirit seed in his hand.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu. Once you cultivate this five-grade sword grass, your strength will surely increase rapidly.”
Shen Ye’s eyes were filled with envy.
Even with his foundation establishment perfect realm, he was not qualified to possess a five-grade sword grass. He did not expect that the outer sect disciple, who once was of low strength, was now ahead of him.
"It’s merely a fluke, it’s mainly because I’m pretty good at cultivating sword grass, otherwise, it would be hard for me to compete with other Sword Hall fellows.”
Lu Xuan laughed.
"That’s true.”
Shen Ye was firm and soon recovered, nodding in agreement.
Everyone has their own opportunities, and he was able to get to where he is today, naturally by his own good fortune, there was no need to keep comparing with others.
After chatting for a while, Lu Xuan excused himself and left.
As soon as he entered his cave mansion, he could not wait to jump down from Fat Bird and arrive at his Spirit Field.
He performed the Earth Pulling Technique, placed the translucent sword-shaped spirit seed in the crack, then immediately concentrated his mind on the spirit seed in the spirit soil.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass, a five-grade spirit plant, needs to be cultivated with invisible divergent sword qi.]
[Born as a sword implement, the mature sword grass can be used to refine into a magic treasure, which can cast invisible sword qi. The sword qi can diverge at will, mysterious and unpredictable, making it hard for people to guard against.]
[During the cultivation process, the sword grass is almost invisible, it is difficult to nourish it steadily with sword qi, thus the cultivating difficulty is extremely high.]
[It is omnipresent, yet elusive.]
Liu Su’s eyes shone with delight.
"Good to see you, Brother Lu!”
"We must take the opportunity to learn from you later.”
The Inner Sect Disciples behind her showed sincere smiles, enthusiastically chiming in.
Lu Xuan’s mastery in Spirit Plants was well-known within the sect, all Spirit Plant Masters respected him wholeheartedly, not even a hint of jealousy could be detected.
Not for anything else, but the gap between them was simply too wide.
Lu Xuan, with his Spirit Plant abilities, was able to enter the Sword Hall, welcomed by many Core Alchemists in the Dan Palace, made great contributions during the sect’s new Blessed Land development, climbing step by step to his current position.
Whereas they, had to spend a long time pondering on planting just a few Grade Three Spiritual Plants, tightening their belts to live, not to mention making significant contributions to the sect, making connections with Authentic Teachings, Golden Core Real People.
"Brother Lu, let me introduce these two fellow brothers and sisters to you, they also specialize in cultivating spiritual plants and had not long ago ascend into the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Liu Su brought the two Foundation Establishment First-term disciples in front of Lu Xuan, introducing each other.
Upon learning of Lu Xuan’s feats, the two looked at him with admiring gazes.
The Spirit Plant Masters sat together, eating Spiritual Fruit, drinking Spiritual Tea, and exchanging cultivation experiences.
Lu Xuan, without needing to spare additional time for practice, had read every tome related to Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast in the Scripture Treasury Pavilion, understanding many types of Spirit Plants on a fundamental level. Sometimes, a few words from him were all it took to pinpoint the problems one was encountering, causing awe and admiration among the group.
After the exchange, they discussed the sect’s recent major events.
"Fellow brothers and sisters, have you noticed? Recently, there are fewer and fewer Inner Sect Disciples remaining in the sect.”
"Most of them have been dispatched to guard the Sect’s affiliated lands, guarding the Secret Lands, and eliminating Demon Envoys.”
"In the past, only one or two Inner Sect Disciples were needed to guard a certain region. Now, the number of cultivators required has more than doubled.”
"Yes, I’ve had that feeling, the Cultivation World is becoming more chaotic.”
"If the sect’s need for Inner Sect Disciples continues to increase, they might change the appointment method from voluntary application to mandatory assignment. Perhaps one day we’ll be ordered to carry out a certain task.”
"Ah, it’s a pity that the Spirit Plants we planted can’t be carried with us. We can only let them mature slowly within the sect.”
"Put aside worrying about your Spirit Plants for now, you should think more about your own safety.”
"Us Spirit Plant Masters usually are weaker in terms of combat experience and treasures compared to other fellow disciples, so in order to increase our chances of survival, it’s best to prepare more.”
One of them made a rational suggestion.
