"Staying within the sect truly brings peace of mind."
Lu Xuan smoothly returned to the sect, feeling the pure and rich spiritual energy within. He greeted the graceful spirit cranes flying around him with affection and couldn't help but reflect.
It was the shelter of a colossal entity like the Sky Sword Sect that allowed him to cultivate spiritual plants in peace, without venturing into secret realms for opportunities, or worrying about deceit, life-and-death struggles.
With his unique abilities in cultivating spiritual plants, along with those miraculous light orb rewards, he carved out a special path within the sect. Gaining powerful strength and a remarkable status, he befriended true disciples, guardian spirit beasts, and even Core Formation True Immortals.
"If it weren't for Ge Pu and three other true disciples, along with the assistance of two mighty spirit beasts, the white jade ape and the azure profound deer, resolving the issue with that Foundation Establishment cultivator turned rogue would not have been so effortless."
"With my current strength, defeating him was likely, but ensuring a complete resolution without leaving any troubles behind was not guaranteed."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude.
"Having such a powerful backing allows an ordinary spiritual plant cultivator like me to farm and cultivate spiritual plants and beasts in tranquility."
Upon returning to his cave dwelling, Lu Xuan headed straight for the spiritual field before even entering his house.
After some time, he saw that the spiritual plants in the field were thriving, each bursting with life and vigor.
"Ah, quite a few Water Firefly Grasses have matured."
Approaching the elongated, azure Water Firefly Grass, his spiritual sense swept over and noticed several translucent progress bars beneath the grasses were fully filled.
"It's time for another swift rise in cultivation."
Lu Xuan, with a smile, picked the grasses one by one.
Out of the newly matured batch of forty-one Water Firefly Grasses, many were of good quality, with a few of superior grade.
After the harvest, forty-one white light orbs quietly appeared on the surface of the spiritual soil, twinkling and enticing Lu Xuan to collect them.
Lu Xuan, with a smile, moved across, absorbing the myriad light orbs into his body almost simultaneously.
"My realm today is thanks to daily diligent practice and hard training!"
"Light orbs, grant me more cultivation progress!"
Thoughts flashed through his mind.
【Harvested a second-grade Water Firefly Grass, gained one year of cultivation.】
【Harvested a second-grade Water Firefly Grass, obtained a third-grade artifact, the Aqua Pearl.】
【Harvested a second-grade Water Firefly Grass, received a second-grade Spirit Nurturing Pill recipe.】
...
Out of the forty-one light orbs, fewer offered cultivation rewards than last time, totaling ten and bringing Lu Xuan fourteen years of cultivation progress.
Spiritual power surged through his meridians like a rising tide, wave after wave, violently impacting every part of his body. Lu Xuan circulated the Grand Five Elements Art, quickly transforming the rampant spiritual power into refined spiritual liquid, merging it into his dantian.
The remaining light orbs brought various rewards: a third-grade Aqua Pearl, a third-grade Water Dragon Talisman, second-grade Spirit Nurturing Pills, and their recipes, among others, also worth a significant amount of spirit stones when added up.
After collecting a wave of light orb rewards, Lu Xuan began to diligently cultivate the rest of the growing spiritual plants in his field.
Five-Element Fruits, Jade Dew Fruits, Hidden Essence Grass, Enchanting Spirit Peaches, Illusion Sound Bamboo...
Each plant had its unique needs, but Lu Xuan, already well-practiced, met them without expending much effort.
Only the cultivation of the four Arrow Vines consumed a bit more spiritual power.
After all, his mastery of the Instantaneous Arrow Technique was only at the beginner level, and it took a while to condense a single formless air arrow, infusing it into the tiny Arrow Vine.
The short arrowheads on the Arrow Vines, stimulated by the air arrow's spiritual power, lifted slightly, then immediately fell limp, dangling powerlessly from the vines.
"Not stimulating enough!"
Lu Xuan sighed in resignation. There was no choice but to slowly practice the Instantaneous Arrow Technique.
The other three Arrow Vine seeds, nurtured daily with spiritual power arrows since returning from that blessed land, slowly sprouted tender vines, which bore rice grain-sized arrows in various shapes, tiny and endearing.
Aside from the mutant Arrow Vines, cultivating numerous Sword Grasses also demanded much of Lu Xuan's energy.
Lu Xuan used the most proficient Four Seasons Sword Art to cultivate second-grade ordinary Sword Grasses, which, for him now, served two purposes.
One was to use the condensing method learned from the Sword Hall to obtain a large quantity of Sword Grass seeds,
then stimulate them with Wind and Thunder Sword Qi in the scabbard to produce mutant third-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Grass seeds.
The second was to fulfill the duties of a Sword Hall disciple by regularly submitting mature second-grade Sword Grasses.
As for the third-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, Lu Xuan was already attempting to condense the seeds.
After all, a single third-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, though precious, was insignificant compared to the art of seed condensation.
The Sky Sword Sect's Sword Hall, after years of inheritance, had only about twenty complete methods for third-grade Sword Grass seed condensation.
If he could discover the condensing method for Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, Lu Xuan figured he could practically strut around the Sword Hall.
He referred to the condensing method for second-grade ordinary Sword Grass, carefully guiding the nascent black sword gleams on the maturing Wind and Thunder Sword Grass with his spiritual sense.
Numerous fine, active sword gleams were gradually gathered together, continuously compressed and merged, integrating into the plant's interior.
The sword gleams were sharp and difficult to control, often ending in failure during the compression and merging process, sometimes even causing minor damage to the plant itself.
Lu Xuan was not discouraged. Learning from experience, he patiently repeated the process.
Fortunately, he could sense the detailed state of the plant, allowing him to avoid many factors leading to failure.
Gradually, the numerous deep black sword gleams, like tamed horses, slowly merged into the Sword Grass under the fine manipulation of Lu Xuan's keen spiritual sense.
Lu Xuan continued to guide the Sword Grass's vitality, condensing it onto the ultra-compressed, fine sword gleams, gently nurturing them.
After numerous attempts, Lu Xuan finally saw a glimmer of success.
Inside a maturing Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, three barely detectable fine qi strands emerged, sharp yet restrained, possessing a peculiar sense of harmony.
They also emitted an incredibly pure vitality, as if something was being slowly nurtured within.
"I've finally taken the first successful step!"
Lu Xuan felt the changes within the Sword Grass and rejoiced in his heart.
"Next, it's about carefully nurturing these three insignificant qi strands into seeds."
"If successful, I'll then experiment on other growing Wind and Thunder Sword Grasses, finding a proven method for seed condensation."
"Exchanging one mature Sword Grass for three seeds seems hardly worthwhile. However, with experience in condensing seeds, by adjusting and changing some minor aspects, there's still significant room for improvement."
At this moment, Lu Xuan was no longer concerned about the loss of those white light orbs.
As long as he successfully summarized the condensation method, the rewards from the Sword Hall would far exceed the value of countless light orb rewards.
