You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 594: ‘Killing Sword Sutra’

After acquiring the Five-grade Cloud Bamboo Arrow Array Method, Lu Xuan couldn’t suppress his curiosity and ventured outside his cave dwelling.

The surging spiritual energy flowed into the Array Plate, flags of varying formations flew towards the edge of the cave at different locations, while the spiritual patterns on their surface shimmered and disappeared instantly.

Before long, a thick sea of clouds appeared outside the cave. In the tumultuous cloud sea, peculiar bamboos towering into the sky appeared and disappeared, their rustling sound faintly discernible.

"Double-layer protection of the Five-grade Formation Method ensures no entrance of demon insects to cause harm to the Spirit Plants.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.

Looking at the last stalk of Arrow Vine which wouldn’t take much time to mature, he decided to hasten its growth with Qingmu Origin Energy.

He had stored numerous Nascent Soul Grass Orbs in his hand which could be used to replenish Qingmu Source Energy immediately, thus giving him full confidence.

After plucking the Arrow Vine, Lu Xuan gently touched the emerging White Light Group.

Countless light spots transformed into a white small arrow’s phantom and instantly surged into his body.

[Harvested a Fourth Grade Exceptional Arrow Vine, and acquired a Fifth Grade Treasure, Nailhead Arrow.]

With a sweep of his gaze, a dark little arrow appeared in his hand.

The surface of the small arrow was faintly wrapped in black air, slowly moving like a slender black snake, and the arrowhead seemed to be nailed on a translucent human face. The facial features are blurred, not clearly discernible.

Concentrating his divine soul on this dark little arrow, a piece of information emerged in his mind.

[Nailhead Arrow, Fifth Rank Treasure, containing a strong curse. When used, visualize the target and its breath etc., and directly act on its soul.]

[Cultivators below the Core Formation stage will die instantly. Core Formation Cultivators will have a certain probability of death depending on their cultivation, soul strength, and treasures. In mild cases, the Divine Soul will be damaged, and in severe cases, the soul will be dissipated.]

"That’s another Fifth Rank Nailhead Arrow!”

The treasure yielded by the last stalk of Arrow Vine satisfied Lu Xuan tremendously.

"A cursed treasure, which does not require a direct confrontation is a real gem for someone like me who keeps himself hidden in a cave.”

At this point, all four stalks of the Arrow Vines that were collected from the newly discovered Blessed Land had ripened.

Lu Xuan had harvested two Fifth Rank Nailhead Arrows, one Fourth Grade Dao Artifacts Splitting Electric Bow, and one Five-grade Cloud Bamboo Arrow Array Method from the Light Clusters, each of the rewards were quite satisfactory.

A “whizzing” sound.

A Sword Qi filled with killing intent shot from his fingertip, stirring the surrounding Sword Intent. Suddenly, the killing intent filled the air, giving Lu Xuan a feeling of being on a battlefield.

Enemies were densely crowded around him, severed limbs and arms were everywhere, dark red blood flowed and dyed the whole world red.

Lu Xuan controlled the Sword Qi of slaughter that blanketed the sky as if mowing grass, easily killing enemies batch by batch.

Thousands of times of sword-controlling experience slowly gave him an epiphany. The Clear Sword Heart helped him synthesize and summarize, and a special meaning faintly emerged from the dancing Sword Qi.

"I’ve finally initially comprehended the corresponding Sword Scripture.”

Lu Xuan opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curling up.

The five-grade Bone Slaying Sword Grass was originally cultivated in the sword pool of the Sky Sword Sect and did not have a corresponding Sword Scripture for cultivation.

After sowing the spirit seed, Lu Xuan could only cultivate the sword grass from scratch, relying on the slaughter Sword Intent contained in the spirit seed.

Luckily, he had acquired the Clear Sword Heart earlier, which gave him an understanding of the Sword Dao not inferior to those swordsmanship geniuses. This allowed him to piece together a relatively complete Sword Scripture.

"Bone Slaying Sword Grass, I’ll name the Sword Scripture- the ‘Killing Sword Sutra’.”

Lu Xuan murmured to himself.

The Sword Scripture he currently mastered was roughly at the fourth-grade stage. To successfully cultivate this five-grade sword grass, he still needed to continue his understanding and exploration. Once he perfects it into a five-grade Sword Scripture, the Bone Slaying Sword Grass could mature smoothly.

As for the other Sword Grass, the Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass, due to its relatively late cultivation, the difficulty of comprehending the Spectral Splitting Sword Intent is slightly higher than the Slaughter Sword Intent, so it only has a rough outline.

But with the assistance of the Clear Sword Heart and his intricate control over the sword grass, Lu Xuan was confident of comprehending the corresponding Sword Scripture.

"Once these common sword grasses mature, I can condense some Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, and then try to improve them, trying to get higher-grade sword grass.”

Lu Xuan looked at the more than twenty two-grade Sword Grasses nearby and thought to himself.

When he migrated from the Sky Sword Sect, he purposely applied for some ordinary Sword Grass Spirit Seeds from the Sword Hall.

This type of sword grass is not difficult to apply for, and lots of spirit seeds can be easily acquired. Since they’re of a lower grade and only possess the simple properties of sharpness, there is plenty of room for improvement.

In addition, he had already mastered the Method of Condensation for two-grade sword grass, which enabled him to get spirit seeds in large quantities. This meant he could certainly attempt to improve them further.
