“The second-grade Yin Soul Bead can nourish and strengthen the resentment of the Yin Soul, which is quite good.
Lu Xuan sighed as he looked at the black beads filled with gloomy energy in his hand.
“However, Sophora japonica is an annual spiritual plant. In theory, it can grow forever. However, it is limited by factors such as variety and cultivation environment, so it cannot achieve immortality.”
“The second-grade Yin Sophora japonica should be able to grow to more than a hundred years. As for a thousand years, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.”
“I remember that it has been about two years since I planted this locust tree. Two years is about the normal maturity time for second-grade spiritual plants. Could it be said that as long as annual spiritual plants grow to a certain stage, they will have Light group reward?”
“Perhaps when the locust tree grows to seven or eight years, or even ten years, it will receive another light group reward?”
Lu Xuan guessed in his heart, and then turned his attention to the second-grade Yin Soul Bead in front of him.
He took out the resentful soul bell he bought from Wanbao Tower from his storage bag. His spiritual consciousness controlled several resentful souls hidden in the inner wall of the bell to fly out and enter the Yin Soul Pearl.
Several pale figures suddenly appeared on the surface of the black bead, lying tightly on their stomachs, with blurred features on their faces showing an expression of enjoyment.
“Yes, the resentment of the ghosts in the resentment bell can be nourished even more when placed in the ghost beads. Next time I go to Jianmen Town, I can give those five ghost-faced stone mushrooms a feast.”
Lu Xuan looked at the resentment of Yinhunzhu, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
“I’m so kind to let you eat and drink before sending you on your way.”
While he was sighing, he noticed a strange bird entering the mountain range.
The figure suddenly turned into a wisp of cloud and smoke, drifting to the foot of the mountain in an instant.
The alien bird seemed to be a puppet beast, with a pair of pieces of wood stuffed in its eye sockets, rotating slightly sluggishly, and the feathers on its wings seemed to be made up of many small blades, which looked extremely sharp.
The wooden eyes noticed Lu Xuan’s presence, the puppet alien bird opened its beak, and a clear voice came out.
“Junior Brother Lu, I am Shen Ye. I left you two sword and grass spiritual seeds in the Sinong Palace. I wonder if you still have some impressions.”
“I learned from Xia Chen in the Sinong Hall that you have been promoted to the foundation-building realm and become an inner disciple of the sect.”
“Congratulations on leaping over the dragon’s gate and flying into the sky.”
“In addition, the promise I made to you before is still valid. As long as junior brother can cultivate those two sword grasses, I will introduce junior brother to the sword hall and join the ranks of cultivating improved sword grass.”
“Junior brother, if you are interested, you can follow my puppet bird to the sword hall and have a look.”
Shen Ye’s voice disappeared immediately, and the puppet alien bird closed its beak and stared at Lu Xuan with a pair of wooden eyes.
“Jian Tang…cultivates and improves sword grass.”
Lu Xuan has already roughly understood the importance of sword grass to Tianjian Sect.
When he was in the Sinong Hall, he tried to exchange sword seals for sword grass spiritual seeds, but due to his status as an outer disciple, he was not qualified to grow sword grass.
When he was in Linyangfang City, he accidentally cultivated the sword grass, and the rare Xunlei Sword Pills were found in the light group left behind. Therefore, he was very interested in the sword grass.
Without any hesitation, Lu Xuan motioned to the puppet Qiniao to lead the way to the location of the sword hall mentioned by Shen Ye.
More than a moment later, he came to a large formation. The formation enveloped a huge space, with countless sword energies swimming freely on the surface like fish.
Outside the formation, there was a gentle monk waiting for Lu Xuan. The monk was carrying a dark black sword box and stood there like a long sword with restrained sword intent.
“Senior Brother Shen!”
“Junior brother Lu, there is no need to be so generous.”
Shen Ye put away the puppet Strange Bird and said with a gentle smile.
“Junior brother, when you come to the sword hall, you must be very interested in sword grass. I will take you to visit, junior brother.”
Shen Ye turned around, waved one hand, and an invisible blade struck the surface of the formation, revealing a gap that could allow two people to pass through.
Lu Xuan hurriedly followed Brother Wenrun.
Lines of undetectable sword light passed across his face, as if as long as he made any movement, the sword light would turn into infinite sword energy and cover him.
After entering the formation, what comes into view is a huge peak rising straight into the sky. Flying swords of various sizes and shapes shuttle freely through the clouds. Sword auras are everywhere on the mountain peak, and clanging sword sounds can be heard from time to time.
Every one of the monks who happened to pass by had a terrifying sword intent in their bodies, which made Lu Xuan a little stunned.
“Junior Brother Lu, I didn’t expect you to give me such a big surprise. If I hadn’t heard Xia Chen talk about it occasionally, I wouldn’t have known that you had been promoted to the foundation building realm.”
In Lu Xuan’s observation room, Shen Ye, who was as gentle as jade, said with a smile.
After he gave Lu Xuan two sword and grass spiritual seeds, he really didn’t expect that Lu Xuan could break through to the foundation building realm in a short period of time.
At that time, based on his understanding of Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan’s qualifications were average. If he wanted to break through to the foundation building stage normally, it would take more than ten years, and he might not be successful.
Therefore, when he saw that Lu Xuan, who was in the realm of Qi training, had cultivated a high-quality sword grass, he cherished the talent and privately donated two sword grass spiritual seeds.
He also promised Lu Xuan that as long as he succeeded in cultivating it again, he would be elected as an inner disciple and be introduced into the ranks of improved sword grass.
Unexpectedly, it was still some time before the sword grass matured, but Lu Xuan actually became a foundation-building monk quietly.
Surprised, he was still happy to see the result. Lu Xuan’s breakthrough to foundation building was better, at least he could legitimately cultivate sword grass.
“Junior brother Lu, you have exchanged so many spiritual plants in the Sinong Palace, so you must have understood the special characteristics of the sword grass.”
“Sword grass is a major foundation of the sect. Every sword grass is a natural sword weapon. Even an ordinary sword grass is a good treasure for the monks in the sect’s Qi training realm.”
“Not to mention, after countless generations of monks’ careful cultivation and improvement, sword grass has derived many changes, and even fourth-grade or even fifth-grade special sword grass varieties can be cultivated.”
“Therefore, no matter how many sword seals you have on your body, without the status of an inner disciple, you are not qualified to grow sword grass, let alone master the method of condensing the spiritual seeds of sword grass.”
Shen Ye introduced the situation about sword grass to Lu Xuan in detail.
“Fifth grade… I didn’t expect that there are so many mysteries hidden in the sword grass.”
Lu Xuan secretly lamented that he believed eighty-nine percent of what Shen Ye said. He had seen a variant of the sword grass, the sword peacock, in the secret realm, which dazzled and fascinated him as a small Qi practitioner at that time, and it continues to this day. Still remember it.
“Sword grass will gradually produce different changes under different aura environments, different cultivation methods, and the nourishment of different sword energy and sword intent.”
“The main task of the sword hall is to understand and summarize the corresponding rules, so as to be able to obtain advanced sword grass in batches.”
Shen Ye said with a solemn expression.
