With these thoughts in mind, Shen Ye’s gaze towards Lu Xuan was filled with growing admiration.
The cultivation of Sword Grass is on a different level of difficulty compared to other similar ranked spiritual plants, it requires two conditions to be fulfilled. A Sword Cultivation Practitioner with remarkable expertise in a particular sword technique, who nourishes Sword Grass day and night through stimulation of Sword Qi.
It is not hard to find a sword cultivator, but it is one in a thousand to find one who excels both in the sword dao and the cultivation of spiritual plants.
The cultivation of Sword Grass suffers from a higher wastage rate than other spiritual plants. If the sword qi is too light or there isn’t enough, the Sword Grass cannot grow normally. If the sword qi is too heavy or too much, it could damage the plant.
Furthermore, each stage of Sword Grass requires a different amount and intensity of sword qi. It’s already quite an achievement if they can be cultivated to maturity — but to get high-quality Sword Grass requires exceptional luck. As for upgrading the rank of Sword Grass in one go, it can be described as a monstrous feat.
“I’ve heard about Junior Brother Lu from Xia Chen at the Agricultural Department Hall, and it was known that you have an extraordinary talent in the path of the spiritual plants.”
“I did not expect your talent in the Sword Dao to be just as extraordinary, no less than other Sword Dao geniuses within our sect.”
Shen Ye expressed with emotions.
Lu Xuan fell silent. I’ve become a Sword Dao genius?
Well, in cultivating Sword Grass, Sword Grass brings swordsmanship experience packages. By eliminating the middleman, to a certain extent, it could also be said to be a Sword Dao genius.
Lu Xuan shamelessly thought.
“With the success with these ten strains of Sword Grass, Brother Lu can formally become a Sword Hall Disciple. What do you think, Brother?” “I would be honored.” Lu Xuan quickly replied,
“Good, follow me to the Sword Hall.”
Seeing Lu Xuan nodding in agreement, Shen Ye was joyous. A rainbow ray shot out from the deep black sword case behind him, embracing the two of them, and in an instant, they arrived at the Sword Hall Mountain.
Shen Ye personally led Lu Xuan through the process of formally entering the Sword Hall.
“What a Sword Hall disciple is expected to do is quite straightforward: cultivate Sword Grass of various ranks to meet the sect’s needs.”
“Through continuous experimentation, observation, and summation, we develop new varieties of Sword Grass.”
Shen Ye guided Lu Xuan through the Sword Qi Mountain, explaining about the matters of the Sword Hall.
“Since Brother Lu has formally become a Sword Hall Disciple, naturally you can enjoy the benefits associated with the Sword Hall.”
You can get a certain amount of base spiritual seeds of second-grade Sword Grass and condensing method of second-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds for free.
At the same time, you can freely choose a third-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed and the corresponding sword techniques.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan was overjoyed and nodded vigorously.
He had long coveted the condensing method for Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, but due to its special nature, he was unable to obtain it from the Agricultural ’ Department Hall by purchasing with spirit stones or exchanging with sword marks. He had not expected to receive it for free after formally entering the Sword Hall.
As for the third-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed and its corresponding sword techniques, these were unexpected surprises.
The base spiritual seeds of the second grade have a high tolerance and can be nourished by various types of sword qi.
While, third-grade Sword Grass spirit seeds require cultivation with corresponding sword qi, otherwise, it will lead to slow growth of Sword Grass or even death due to conflict in sword qi.
“In addition to the above, Brother Lu can also apply for higher-grade Sword Grass Spirits and their corresponding sword techniques. With your experience of improving the Sword Grass to the third grade, even applying for fourth- grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds wouldn’t be a problem.”
Shen Ye paused, as if remembering something.
“I recall that there is a fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owls Spirit Seed in the hall that is being fervently competed for by several Sword Hall disciples.” “But, considering their skill in cultivating Sword Grass, I feel they are far behind Brother Lu. Therefore, I have decided to give it to you.” Shen Ye spoke in a gentle tone.
“Brother Shen, in order to get a fourth grade sword grass spirit seed, don’t we need to apply for it from the hall?”
You are being too proactive…
He grumbled deep inside.
“What apply or not apply, it’s a matter of just a word for you, junior brother. Or is it that you are unwilling?”
“Of course, I am willing.”
Lu Xuan quickly agreed. With the fourth grade sword technique behind him, he was more than willing to access the fourth grade sword grass spirit seed.
“By the way, Brother Shen, could I keep one of the nine sword grass plants I brought?”
He asked Shen Ye. When he was in the Qi Training Realm, he had already promised his close friend Baili Jianqing that he would give him a sword grass that he had cultivated by himself.
“Just a single sword grass, junior brother, you have every right to keep it. One is enough, isn’t it? If not, it’s not a problem to keep three or five more.”
Shen Ye said with a smile.
“Enough, enough, thank you, Brother Shen.”
Lu Xuan quickly expressed his gratitude. Of the eight sword grasses cultivated by the Four Seasons Sword Qi, he chose to keep the red sword grass cultivated by the Red Flame Sword.
“Junior brother, are you choosing the sword grass spirit seed now, or would you rather do it later?”
For the second grade sword grass spirit seed, you can choose twenty to cultivate first. When it matures, you can condense spiritual seeds and obtain more of them.”
“For the third-grade, you can choose for yourself. In total, there are nearly twenty types of third-grade sword grass spirit seeds and only eight types of fourth grade.”
“As for the fifth rank, it necessitates the sword intent of the Condensing Pill Realm. With your current Foundation Establishment First-term cultivation level, you are not yet capable of cultivating them.”
“Twenty kinds of third-grade spiritual seeds?”
“Yes, even though there are many third-grade sword tactics in the Sect and the Cultivation World, in practice, only about twenty types have been able to cultivate sword grass.”
Shen Ye explained.
Lu Xuan then grasped better why Shen Ye had been so astonished when he saw the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass.
After learning the specific types of third-grade sword grass spirit seeds, he chose one that he was particularly satisfied with.
Among the eight types of fourth grade sword grass spirit seeds, he saw the Sword Peacock that had left a deep impression on him in the Secret Land near the Linyang Market.
“I wonder what kind of person the girl who gave me the Azure Cloud Order really is.”
He sighed inwardly. Since he had entered the Inner Sect, he had basically stayed on his own mountain peak and seldom interacted with other sect mates, so he’d never had a chance to see the cold woman who brought him to the Sky Sword Sect.
He did not know the woman’s name, so he could only keep his gratitude buried m his heart.
He learned from Shen Ye that fourth grade sword grass spirit seeds were very scarce and always in demand. He considered himself quite lucky to have obtained a Fourth Grade Sword Thousand Owls Spirit Seed.
“Junior Brother Lu, please wait a moment, I will fetch the sword grass spirit seeds you need.”
After Lu Xuan had made his decision, Shen Ye went into the depths of the Sword Hall. He returned a short while later, bringing numerous spirit seeds and three green jade slips.
“Twenty second-class sword grass spirit seeds, one third-rank Starlight Sword Grass Spirit Seed, one Fourth Grade Sword Thousand Owls Spirit Seed, and the methods to condense second-class sword grass spirit seeds, as well as corresponding third and fourth-grade sword tactics. Please have a look Junior Brother Lu.”
“The spirit seed condensation method and sword tactics in the jade slip can only be absorbed once, so you must not be disturbed during the absorption process. Please be careful, Junior Brother Lu.”
While Lu Xuan examined the spirit seeds, Shen Ye reminded him in a deeper tone. r
“Thankyou for the reminder, Brother Shen.”
Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude with a fist and palm salute.
