Chapter 209: Chapter 207: Wind and Thunder Sword Grassl
Translator: 549690339
Lu Xuan’s mind was focused on the golden miniature sword moving freely before him; a thought flashed through his mind.
[Sword Embryo, Third-Rank Treasure, an excellent material for refining highgrade Flying Swords. After it is melted into a Flying Sword, it can significantly improve the sword’s Spiritual Nature; a high-grade Sword Embryo can even nurture Magic Treasures.]
“Sword Embryo?”
Lu Xuan reached out and pulled the golden miniature sword into his hand; the sword trembled slightly, trying to break free.
It was unknown what material the golden miniature sword was made of; despite having a substantial body, there was a sense of unreality when holding it in his hand.
“A significant increase in the Flying Sword’s spiritual nature… that means it is easier to freely manipulate the Flying Sword, and even control entire sets of Flying Swords and even Sword Arrays.”
“High-grade Sword Embryo can even nurture Magic Treasures…”
Lu Xuan muttered to himself in disbelief.
“No wonder the Sword Grass is the core foundation of the Sky Sword Sect; the rewards brought by its Light Clusters are extraordinary. Added to that, this Sword Grass is high-quality and unexpectedly produced a rare treasure like a Sword Embryo.”
From the two mature Sword Grass plants, one brought him a third-grade Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, and the otherbrought him a third-rank Sword Embryo treasure. For a second-grade Spiritual Plant, the rewards of the Light Clusters are extremely generous.
This made him even more determined to fully utilize his Spirit Plant abilities in the Sword Hall.
As long as he cultivates the normal or advanced Sword Grass issued by the Sword Hall, he could continuously get different Sword Grass Spiritual Seeds, and the ball would keep rolling.
“Once the Sword Grass within the scabbard has been sufficiently stimulated, I will place you inside to nurture the embryo.”
Lu Xuan chuckled softly, putting the golden miniature sword into a black Sword Box.
The other Sword Grass growing in the distance had also reached maturity, and the thin progress bar below was almost full.
Although it could be harvested now, to ensure the quality of the Sword Grass and the Light Cluster rewards it brings to the highest degree, Lu Xuan suppressed his impulse and let Spiritual power surge, a Geng Metal Sword Qi infused into the Straight Sword Grass.
After nurturing the Sword Grass, Lu Xuan continued to patrol the rest of the Spirit Field.
The previously successfully induced Mutated Lingying Grass had entered the Condensing Seed stage.
After trying to harvest a Mutated Lingying Grass, Lu Xuan dispelled the idea of obtaining mature plants, and he began focusing solely on its successful improvement.
Twenty-two Ice Variate Spirit Glow Grass condensed into more than two hundred Mutated Spirit Seeds, and eight Fire Variate Spirit Glow Grass condensed into fewer Mutated Spirit Seeds, only about eighty.
In addition, the previously harvested eight hundred ordinary Spiritual Firefly Grass Seeds, after special treatment, Lu Xuan used all of them to stimulate and induce.
As long as he planted the Spiritual Seeds, he could determine whether it was successfully induced and could quickly screen out the Mutated Spirit Seeds, saving a lot of time.
After several rounds like this, there was a higher degree of mutation in the Spiritual Seeds obtained, and the improvement of the Lingying Grass to a higher-grade came naturally.
Because all the Spirit Firefly Grass Seeds were used for his experiments, it was extremely rare that there wasn’t a single Spirit Firefly Grass planted in the Spirit Field on the mountain.
Lu Xuan’s cultivation speed slowed down quite a bit, and he could only slightly feel the increase in his body’s Spiritual Power after cultivating for a while.
He didn’t care too much about this. After all, this slow progress was for the sake of rapid progress in the future, and this minor sacrifice meant nothing.
“In fact, my present Cultivation Level is all thanks to my steadfast diligence in cultivation. The Light Clusters from the Spirit Firefly Grass have only played a small part.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself, indifferent.
On the mountain top, the growth of various Spiritual Plants was quite robust.
The secluded corner’s third-rank Bewitching Fairy Peach has quietly grown much taller. At first glance, the pinkish-white trunk reveals a slender waist and long legs. The pink peach leaves are becoming more vibrant, and a faint miasma flows beneath the tree.
Looking at this Bewitching Fairy Peach, Lu Xuan compares it to a youthful maiden gradually becoming gracefully charming, giving birth to a strange conceptualization in his heart.
With an expressionless face, he strikes himself on the temple with a Cleansing Spell. The gentle spiritual power circulates throughout his whole body, instantly entering Sage Mode.
The graceful maiden form is revealed fully, recovering the true appearance of the Bewitching Fairy Peach trunk and leaves.
In the not too far distance, tiny Sword Nurturing Gourds have sprouted from the vines creeping on the many second-hand Flying Swords. The gourds are pale green, gently swaying under the breeze; you can vaguely hear a faint sword song within.
The third-level jade scale fruits planted in the pile of stones have already bloomed with numerous flowers. The flowers seem to be made up of layers of thin jade-like petals, revealing a bizarre beauty that is both soft yet firm.
The fourth grade Xuan Chong Vine is also growing excellently. The Hidden Cicada, Black Armored Insect, Silver Thread Mantis insect chambers have cleverly integrated, forming the body of the Xuan Chong Vine.
The remaining fruits like the Ice Luo Fruit and Flaming Fruit are all growing significantly.
The whole mountain peak is a sight of well-thriving, prosperous life.
After seeing all of this, a satisfied Lu Xuan returns to his courtyard.
In a joyful mood, he specifically prepared a delicious meal for the Wind Sparrow Fledgling and Cloud Leopard; moving them greatly since they’ve been eating raw Demon Beast Meat for a while.
After tidying up the utensils, Lu Xuan retreats to his room and picks up the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath.
After steadily infusing sword light into the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, the final Sword Grass Spirit Seed has been nurtured in the Ancient Sword Sheath for quite some time; it is time to review the results.
He grasps the tail end of the scabbard, tilting it downward, and shakes it gently, allowing a sword-like Spirit Seed to slide out with ease.
The Sword Grass Spirit Seed has vastly changed compared to when it first entered the sheath.
A faint black wind spirals around the Sword Grass Spirit Seed as occasional minute arcs of electricity jump across its surface, disappearing into the air.
“I’ve never seen such an obvious change before.”
Lu Xuan gazes at the mutated Sword Grass Spirit Seed in his hand, expressing his heartfelt amazement.
Whether it’s the large number of induced Spirit Firefly Grass seeds, or another Sword Grass Spirit Seed stimulated by the Red Flame Sword Qi, none has exhibited significant changes like the one before him.
His heart can’t help but fill with anticipation as he holds the ancient scabbard, swiftly floating to an empty Spiritual Field Area.
The Earth Pulling Technique unfolds, causing subtle changes in the structure of the Spirit Soil beneath his feet. A slender crevice forms, perfectly enveloping the mutated Sword Grass Spirit Seed within.
Lu Xuan’s focus is on the Sword Grass Spirit Seed buried just under the surface of the Spirit Soil when suddenly; a thought crosses his mind.
[Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, a third-grade spiritual plant, sword-bladelike in shape, an innate sword instrument, carries a hint of the Power of Wind and Thunder. An excellent material for crafting corresponding attribute Flying Swords.]
[During cultivation, stimulating with Wind and Thunder Sword Qi and Sword Intent can promote the growth of the plant.]
“Wind and Thunder Sword Grass! A third-grade spiritual plant!”
“I can’t believe the improvement was successful on the first attempt!”
Lu Xuan exclaims in shock. Never had he expected that the late-starting, high- ranked Two Grade Sword Grass would outperform the Spirit Firefly Grass in one fell swoop, jumping its Rank to third grade!
“Whether it be the thick Flying Swords, adorable little Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, or even Invisible Sword Qi, from now on, I guess I’ll just have to prick you a lot more frequently.”
Staring at the Antique Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath in his hand, he couldn’t help but think.
