Chapter 277 - Old Acquaintance

  Lu Xuan bid farewell to Shen Ye and returned to the cave with a full harvest.

  Inside the house, twenty-two sword grass spirit seeds were placed on the wooden table.

  At first glance, they looked like twenty small flying swords, but after careful observation, one could still feel the difference.

  The second-grade sword grass spirit seeds were gray-black and slender like swords.

  The third-grade starlight sword grass spirit seeds had almost invisible dots of starlight on the surface. When the spiritual consciousness penetrated into them, it was as if entering the vast night sky, with stars twinkling and sharp starlight, as if to pierce Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness. The

  fourth-grade sword thousand owl spirit seeds had a strange shape, with many small branches spreading out from the spirit seeds. At the end of the branches, there were dozens of owls the size of rice grains of various shapes. They had no feet, and their bodies were directly integrated into the branches. Their wings were spread out, and their wings were like swords as thin as hair.

  He buried the starlight sword grass spirit seeds and the sword thousand owl spirit seeds in the spiritual soil and obtained detailed information about the two spiritual plants.

  [Starlight Sword Grass, a third-grade spiritual plant, is cultivated with the Starlight Sword Qi. When mature, the sword grass contains subtle star power and can be used directly or refined into a corresponding third-grade flying sword.]

  [Sword Thousand Owl Sword Grass, a fourth-grade spiritual plant, is cultivated with the stimulation and warmth of the Thousand Owl Sword Qi. When mature, the spiritual plant can differentiate into many sword intentions that are shaped like ancient fierce owls. The sword has a certain spirituality and can be used as a natal flying sword and a magic weapon.]

  "Sword grass is worthy of being the core secret of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sword Hall. Whether it is the third-grade Starlight Sword Grass or the fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owl Sword Grass, they all have their magical features."

  Lu Xuan secretly sighed. He was happy to see this in his heart. The more magical the third-grade and fourth-grade sword grass is, the

  richer the light ball reward he will get after it is cultivated to maturity.

  After learning about the magical properties of the two high-grade sword grass spirit seeds, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to plant them.

  Both the Starlight Sword Grass and the Thousand Owl Sword Grass need to be cultivated with corresponding sword energy. At least one must have a rough grasp of the two sword techniques before they can be cultivated.

  He placed the jade slip engraved with the method of refining the second-grade sword grass spirit seed on his forehead, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it. Suddenly, a large amount of information poured into his sea of ​​consciousness.

  The timing of condensing the sword grass spirit seed, the processing method, the means of collecting seeds, the storage method, etc.

  Lu Xuan stood quietly for a long time before he completely absorbed the information in his mind.

  Then, he absorbed the contents of the other two jade slips into his sea of ​​consciousness, and had a rough understanding of the third-grade [Starlight Sword Technique] and the fourth-grade [Thousand Owl Sword Technique].

  As for the other twenty second-grade sword grass spirit seeds, he planned to use some for normal cultivation and put some into the Yangxuan sword sheath, and then use the Xunlei sword light to warm them for a period of time, so as to breed the third-grade wind and thunder sword grass spirit seeds.

  "Unfortunately, it takes a lot of Xunlei sword light and a considerable period of time to transform the second-grade sword grass spirit seeds into the third-grade wind and thunder sword grass spirit seeds."

  Lu Xuan thought with some regret.

  However, it is still necessary to get as many wind and thunder sword grass as possible, not only for a more generous reward, but also for Lu Xuan to use a large number of wind and thunder sword grass as experimental subjects to explore the method of condensing wind and thunder sword grass spirit seeds.

  Only then can we truly systematically cultivate batches of wind and thunder sword grass, instead of just placing them in the Yangxuan sword sheath and waiting for them to mutate successfully.

  He buried ten sword grass spirit seeds in the spiritual soil, and used various hair-like sword qi to penetrate into the spirit seeds, stimulating the spirit seeds to breed successfully.

  After patrolling the spiritual field, Lu Xuan left the inner sect and came to the cave where Baili Jianqing was.

  After Lu Xuan was promoted to an inner sect disciple, the two had fewer opportunities to meet, and they could only get together when Lu Xuan occasionally went out.

  "Jianqing, open the door."

  He had already contacted Baili Jianqing with the communication talisman, so he shouted directly.

  "Brother Lu!"

  A handsome young man poked his head out from the crack of the door, and the moment he saw Lu Xuan, his slender eyes narrowed into two slits with a smile.

  Lu Xuan entered the courtyard and put down some of the flaming fruits and ice radish fruits he brought with him.

  "These are all spiritual fruits that I cultivated myself. They taste good. You can try them."

  "Wow! Thank you, Brother Lu!"   

  Baili Jianqing felt the rich spiritual power on the two spiritual fruits and said with surprise.

  In order to practice, he might eat a lot of second-grade elixirs, but he rarely tasted second-grade spiritual fruits. After all, he had not yet reached the stage of eating second-grade spiritual fruits as snacks.

  "How have you been practicing recently? I see that your cultivation seems to have improved a lot."

  Lu Xuan sat down and asked Baili Jianqing.

  "Not long ago, I entered the perfect stage of Qi training and was preparing to attack the foundation building. For this purpose, I specially applied for a large sum of funds from my father at home."

  Baili Jianqing laughed.

  "Well, remember to adjust yourself to the best state. Only when the spiritual power, spiritual consciousness, and physical body are integrated, can you break through in one fell swoop."

  Lu Xuan shared his previous breakthrough experience. He had a good impression of Baili Jianqing.

  The two knew each other before joining the Tianjian Sect. They got along very harmoniously and naturally. They have known each other for many years and can be regarded as Lu Xuan's best friend in the Tianjian Sect.

  "When I break through to the foundation-building stage, I will take you with me, Brother Lu."

  Baili Jianqing's impression of Lu Xuan has always been that he is sincere in studying and cultivating spiritual plants. Although he has not yet broken through, he still speaks shamelessly.

  Lu Xuan smiled slightly.

  "By the way, this time I came here, I brought you a sword grass, the quality is good, and it comes with flame burning."

  He took out a red sword grass from the storage bag and handed it to Baili Jianqing.

  "Haha, I didn't expect that you, Brother Lu, have always remembered it."

  Baili Jianqing took the sword grass, input his own spiritual power, and made a sword flower.

  Sword energy shot out from the red sword grass, and there was a thin layer of fire spiritual power on the invisible sword blade. A hot breath could be felt from afar.

  "Thank you, Brother Lu, I like this sword grass very much."

  Baili Jianqing came to Lu Xuan and said solemnly.

  Each sword grass is a natural sword weapon, which is the most advanced among the same grade magic weapons. As far as Lu Xuan knows, the second-grade sword grass is one of the main magic weapons of many inner disciples in the early stage of foundation building.

  The two had not seen each other for a long time, and they had a good chat, imagining the bright future on the road of cultivation.

  Sword Hall.

  A middle-aged cultivator with a heavy aura like the abyss and the sea walked quickly, his face so gloomy that water almost dripped out.

  Wherever he passed, the disciples of the Sword Hall who met him whispered hello, and then lowered their heads to avoid him.

  "Junior Brother Shen, I just learned that the remaining fourth-grade Sword Thousand Owl Spirit Seed has been taken away?"

  "It is said that it is an inner disciple who has just entered the Sword Hall in the early stage of foundation building?"

  The middle-aged cultivator spoke in a low voice to the gentle Shen Ye, word by word, with an aura all over his body, as if something extremely terrifying was constantly brewing in his body.

  The dark black sword box behind Shen Ye trembled slightly, isolating the aura stimulated by the middle-aged cultivator.

  He looked normal, as if he was not affected at all. He slowly raised his head and said in a gentle tone.

  "Yes, I strongly advocate it, and Uncle Murong also has no objection."
