Chapter 10 - Silver Blade
The monthly rent for the spiritual field in the courtyard is five spiritual stones, which is paid every six months. It is less than a month before the next payment. He
is about to spend more than half of the spiritual stones in his hand. There is still some time before the spiritual plants in the spiritual field mature. Lu Xuan decided to save them first for emergency use.
The spiritual field has been used to the maximum extent. Even if he has enough spiritual stones, he has no place to plant new spiritual seeds. He had to return home with more than fifty spiritual stones.
After returning home, he closed the door of the courtyard, almost isolated from the outside world, and focused on cultivating spiritual plants.
After a few days, the silver-white fruits on the two Eclipse Moon Trees became more and more round and full, like round moons hanging on the trees.
It is about to enter the mature stage.
Lu Xuan took the time to count them. There are about 42 Eclipse Moon Fruits on the tree.
According to the purchase price he knows, each Eclipse Moon Fruit is about one spiritual stone, with little fluctuation.
It is just because of his careful cultivation during this period that the quality of dozens of Eclipse Moon Fruits is quite good. Lu Xuan estimates that most of them are of good quality, and a few are of superior quality.
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu, are you home?"
One day, a familiar childish voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
Lu Xuan opened the courtyard gate, and a chubby child about seven years old came in through the crack of the door. Judging from his facial features, he was 70% similar to Zhang Hong who went to explore the wilderness.
It was Zhang Hong's child, named Zhang Xiuyuan. Because he was not much older than Lu Xuan, he would come to visit him from time to time.
"I thought you were not at home! The door is closed every day, and I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Zhang Xiuyuan muttered, and jumped to the straw puppet and hugged it.
"Xiao Cao, long time no see, I miss you so much!"
The straw puppet was tied tightly by him. Sensing that there was an outsider in the yard, it still stretched out a gray straw rope to Lu Xuan, fulfilling its responsibility to guard the spiritual field.
"Okay, okay, if you hug your friend again, his head will fall off."
Lu Xuan looked at the gray grass tumor on the straw puppet's head that was about to fall off, and smiled and said to Zhang Xiuyuan who was particularly enthusiastic.
The two returned to the house.
Zhang Xiuyuan slumped in a wooden chair, staring blankly at the spiritual plants in the yard.
"It's still comfortable here, Uncle Lu. You don't need to practice martial arts, learn all kinds of spiritual medicines, and spiritual mineral knowledge."
Lu Xuan laughed dumbly, as if he saw the child who was worried about learning in his previous life.
"By the way, your father has been out for so long, is there any news about him?"
He asked Zhang Xiuyuan.
"How can it be so fast? It takes half a month for the light to travel!"
"But my father is so powerful, he must be able to kill many monsters and bring me many treasures."
Zhang Xiuyuan said with longing eyes. In the boy's heart, the figure of his father is always particularly tall, as if he can block all the wind and waves.
Lu Xuan nodded, chatted with the child for a few more words, and then came to the spiritual field to check the growth of the spiritual plants.
In the spiritual field, whether it is the progress bar, the real-time status, or the white light ball that appears after maturity, only Lu Xuan can see it, so he is not worried that Zhang Xiuyuan will find out the abnormality of the spiritual field.
"Uncle Lu, I see you are so busy in the spiritual field, do you want me to help?"
Zhang Xiuyuan took a break, and seeing that Lu Xuan was busy, he rolled up his sleeves and walked to Lu Xuan's side.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't move, I can do it alone."
Lu Xuan hurriedly stopped him. Just kidding, one of the factors that affect the reward of the light ball is the degree of participation in the planting process.
If the reward of the light ball is affected by Xiaoyuan's help, it would be a loss.
"Humph, my mother usually asks me to help and I don't want to help!" Xiaoyuan
was rejected by Lu Xuan, and his face was a little embarrassed. He clasped his fists in front of his chest and snorted coldly.
"How many weeks have you practiced the skills today? Have you memorized all the common spiritual medicines and spiritual minerals?"
Seeing that the child was staying in the spiritual field and had no intention of leaving, Lu Xuan asked.
With each question, Zhang Xiuyuan's expression became heavier. When Lu Xuan finished speaking, he waved his hand fiercely and ran out.
"I will never come to play with you again!"
"Hahaha!"
Lu Xuan laughed mercilessly.
He did not try to coax him, knowing very well that children's tempers come and go quickly, and they will come to play with him in a few days.
In the next three days, Zhang Xiuyuan did not come to the yard as expected. Lu Xuan was at ease, cultivating the firefly grass and red cloud pine every day, watching the Eclipse Moon Fruit mature step by step.
Finally, with his mind focused, Lu Xuan realized that the four Eclipse Moon Fruits were fully mature.
All four Eclipse Moon Fruits were of good quality, which was worth his careful care during this period.
He carefully picked them and put them in a special container.
Then, his eyes were attracted by the four white light balls floating on the Eclipse Moon Tree.
On the light balls, dots of white light flickered.
Lu Xuan absorbed the first one, and a thought flashed through his mind.
"Harvest one Eclipse Moon Fruit and obtain the first-grade magic weapon, the Silver Blade (Remnant)."
A slender object appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.
"First-class magic weapon!"
Lu Xuan was suddenly startled and looked at the thing in his hand carefully.
It was a thin and thin piece, as thick as a finger, with an irregular shape. It felt cold where it touched, and the edge looked extremely sharp.
Lu Xuan controlled the thin and thin piece with his spiritual consciousness, and his mind moved.
The piece turned into an invisible silver light and pierced deeply into the stone wall.
"It's amazingly powerful, worthy of being a first-class magic weapon, but what does this 'remnant' mean?"
"This magic weapon is incomplete? But it seems to be very powerful when used..."
Lu Xuan was puzzled and looked at the remaining three white light balls.
"Harvest one Eclipse Moon Fruit and obtain a first-class magic weapon, the Silver Blade (Remnant)."
"Harvest one Eclipse Moon Fruit and obtain a first-class talisman, the Purification Talisman."
"Harvest one Eclipse Moon Fruit and obtain a first-class magic weapon, the Silver Blade (Remnant)."
The Purification Talisman can keep the cultivator's mind clear for a long time and not be confused by evil spirits. It is a very good auxiliary talisman.
As for the other two white light balls...
Lu Xuan looked at the three silver-white thin pieces in his hand and was stunned for a while.
The three flakes are all different in shape, but they are all extremely sharp, which does not tarnish the reputation of the so-called first-grade magic weapon.
Moreover, Lu Xuan unexpectedly discovered that he could actually drive these three fragments of the Silver-Splitting Blade at the same time.
Logically speaking, with his current third-level Qi training level of spiritual consciousness, it is extremely difficult to control three first-grade magic weapons at the same time.
"Could it be that these three irregular flakes come from the same magic weapon, and only when all the flakes are put together can it be a complete Silver-Splitting Blade?"
Lu Xuan compared the edges of the flakes and felt that this guess was closer to reality.
"I just don't know how many flakes are needed to successfully piece together a complete Silver-Splitting Blade."
"Now I just hope that the remaining thirty-eight Eclipse Moon Fruits can produce as many Silver-Splitting Blade fragments as possible."
"Although the fragments are also good to use, who would want a broken one when there is a complete one?"
Lu Xuan looked at the Eclipse Moon Fruit hanging on the Eclipse Moon Tree like a jade plate, and thought in a daze.
