Lu Xuan's heart was focused, and the Purple Thunder Sword in his hand danced naturally.
With sword qi rampant, a faint drizzle appeared around him, misty and continuous.
Seemingly ordinary, but in reality, countless spring rain sword qi converged together. With just a thought from Lu Xuan, they could erupt into powerful lethality in an instant.
The Purple Thunder Sword, with its deep purple blade, carried the power of thunder and lightning. Amidst the continuous spring rain, occasional flashes of lightning gave it a natural and harmonious charm.
Just as Lu Xuan was about to retract the Purple Thunder Sword after briefly experiencing the enhancement of his sword technique with the spring rain sword intent, he caught sight of the Sword sheath hanging from his waist.
"I wonder what effect infusing the spring rain sword intent into the sheath of the Xuan Sword will bring..."
Lu Xuan had a sudden idea. Some strands of the fine spring rain sword qi fell and pierced through the cracks of the sheath.
"Is this enough?"
Lu Xuan seemed to sense the thoughts of the Sword sheath. The fine spring rain sword qi, as thin as a strand of hair, made the already transformed Sword sheath into the shape of the Purple Thunder Sword almost imperceptible.
After infusing enough spring rain sword intent, Lu Xuan's spiritual awareness probed into the interior of the sheath.
A moist breath lingered everywhere.
He chuckled, and the Purple Thunder Sword in his hand plunged fiercely into the sheath.
It went smoothly without any hindrance.
"Very moisturizing."
Lu Xuan commented simply.
Deep within the sheath, after being moistened by enough spring rain sword intent, the Purple Thunder Sword found itself in a muddy environment, making it difficult for the curved blade to extricate itself.
He intended to temporarily leave this second-grade sword grass he had harvested in the storage bag, waiting until the remaining sword grass had fully matured before submitting them all to the Sword Hall's Shen Ye.
In order to ensure the maximization of the light group rewards, he would only harvest each sword grass when fully matured.
As for other cultivators cultivating sword grass, they couldn't know the best time for harvesting. They could only rely on experience, spiritual awareness perception, and estimate the time when it entered the mature period, then harvest them all at once and submit them in bulk to the Sword Hall.
Lu Xuan estimated that it wouldn't take long for the remaining eight second-grade sword grasses to mature, so he wasn't in a hurry to harvest them.
"Oh right, I promised Bai Li Jianqing before to give him a sword grass. I wonder how he's been lately."
Lu Xuan thought to himself and decided to find an opportunity to visit his old friend.
He continued to patrol the spiritual field and arrived at the place where he planted the sword nurturing gourds.
On the vines, there were still two cyan mottled gourds hanging. Inside the gourds, there was a faint sound of sword qi surging, as if powerful sword qi could penetrate the gourd and shoot out at any moment.
"Another one has matured."
Lu Xuan noticed that a nurturing sword gourd slightly lower in position had fully matured and carefully picked it.
As soon as he held the gourd, a white light group quietly hung on the vine, faintly shimmering, attracting Lu Xuan to pick it up.
Lu Xuan reached out and gently touched it, and the white light group turned into countless subtle light swords, all rushing into Lu Xuan's body.
Then, a thought appeared in his mind.
【Harvested one third-grade nurturing sword gourd and obtained a fourth-grade Grand Sun Sword Talisman.】
A talisman with a red sun in the center appeared in Lu Xuan's palm.
Countless red sword qi dispersed in all directions from the center of the sun, densely packed, as if sunlight illuminated the entire world.
The talisman was the fourth-grade Grand Sun Sword Talisman he had previously obtained, containing endless Grand Sun Sword Qi. When activated, it was like the scorching sun in the sky, awe-inspiring. Looking directly at it, even a slight carelessness would result in blindness.
It could also severely injure or even kill mid-to-late Foundation Establishment cultivators, with its power surpassing even the Howling Sea Sword Talisman.
"With four nurturing sword gourds, I've harvested four fourth-grade sword talismans, two Howling Sea Sword Talismans, and two Grand Sun Sword Talismans, one of which has consumed most of its sword qi in the Blessed Land."
The fourth-grade sword talismans were almost his strongest means of attack at the moment. After a brief thought, Lu Xuan decided to cultivate a few more nurturing sword gourds.
A single vine of nurturing sword gourds could produce several of them. Not to mention the precious value of the gourds themselves, just the light group rewards of the sword talismans made it worthwhile for him to plant them again.
He carefully cultivated the spiritual fields around the mountain peaks. Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go to the Agricultural Hall to buy a few nurturing sword gourd spiritual seeds.
By the way, he would also solve the problem of not choosing a method for refining spiritual seeds when he promoted to Foundation Establishment.
At that time, he could freely choose one method of refining spiritual seeds for a third-grade spiritual plant and three methods for refining spiritual seeds for second-grade spiritual plants.
The method of refining third-grade spiritual seeds, although quite satisfied with the nurturing sword gourds, Lu Xuan decided to see if there were any other varieties with more generous rewards.
As for the second-grade ones, he had already decided on two of them, the Flame Fruit and the Ice Lotus Fruit, which he planted on the mountain peaks.
The light group rewards after the maturation of these two second-grade spiritual fruits were quite abundant. Not only did each spiritual tree bear many fruits, but the main point was that the two fruits had their own unique flavors, and consuming them together had a mutually beneficial effect.
In order to satisfy his own appetite and better entertain Xuan Tian Bailuan and Bai Yu Qingtian, choosing the refining methods for these two spiritual fruits was a matter of course.
Agricultural Hall.
In the spacious outer hall, Lu Xuan glanced around and did not see the old farmer cultivator he had encountered several times before.
Without any hesitation, he entered the inner hall amidst the curiosity and respect of the outer disciples.
Only inner disciples had the qualification to enter the inner hall.
Looking around, he approached a cultivator who looked ordinary in appearance, but had a reserved and steady demeanor.
He had some impression of this person. His name was Zhang Ce. When he had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was this person who received him when he entered the inner hall.
"Senior Brother Zhang."
"Junior Brother Lu? Long time no see."
The young man looked up at Lu Xuan, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but fortunately, he still had some impression and immediately remembered Lu Xuan, who had met him briefly a long time ago.
"Long time no see. Senior Brother's cultivation has become even more exquisite."
"Haha, Junior Brother overpraises. I wonder what brings Junior Brother to the Agricultural Hall this time?"
"I want to buy a few third-grade nurturing sword gourd spiritual seeds. In addition, I want to choose the refining methods for two second-grade spiritual plants, namely the Flame Fruit and the Ice Lotus Fruit."
"After advancing to an inner disciple, I have been holding onto this sect benefit, and only recently made a decision."
Lu Xuan smiled and said.
"Alright, please let me take a look at your identity token, Junior Brother. I need to confirm if you have the qualification."
The steady young man said gently.
Lu Xuan took out his identity token and handed it to the steady young cultivator.
Regarding the refining methods of spiritual seeds, the steady young man dared not be careless. After confirming several times, he returned the identity token to Lu Xuan and led him to the depths of the Agricultural Hall.
"Junior Brother Lu, inside these two jade slips are the refining methods for the spiritual seeds you requested. After absorption, the jade slips will turn into powder. Junior Brother must be careful when using them."
Zhang Ce reminded Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded heavily, then spent two hundred and seventy Sword Commands to exchange for three nurturing sword gourd spiritual seeds from the young man.
The spiritual seeds of the gourd were light blue in color, elongated in shape, about an inch and a half long. At first glance, they looked like three miniature swords.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang."
After confirming that everything was correct, Lu Xuan thanked the steady young man with a cupped hand gesture, then left the Agricultural Hall.
