Chapter 491 - The Confidence of a Swordsman Genius

  Forty-seven fourth-grade sword talismans, including eleven Roaring Sea Sword Talismans, twelve Falling Star Sword Talismans, nine Dragon Elephant Sword Talismans, and the largest number of Great Sun Sword Talismans, fifteen in total. The number of

  sword talismans in Lu Xuan's hand suddenly increased several times, reaching as many as sixty.

  "One fourth-grade sword talisman can seriously injure or even kill a cultivator in the middle or late stage of foundation building. Sixty, hehe, even if there is a huge difference between the strength of the Jindan realm and the foundation building realm, if you encounter one, you have to think twice."

  He felt that his firepower increased a lot in an instant.

  The fourth-grade sword talismans that other fellow disciples regarded as treasures and coveted were wholesale in his hands, no wonder he suddenly expanded a lot.

  The remaining ten sword-raising gourds were used to condense spirit seeds. Lu Xuan followed the method of condensing seeds that he had already memorized, and the spirit power penetrated into the gourds along a special route.

  In the perception of the spirit consciousness, the subtle sword energy inside was rampant.

  Lu Xuan carefully guided the sword energy inside the gourd and the vitality of the gourd itself, slowly fusing the two together.

  The fusion process was extremely complicated, but fortunately he could sense the state of the spiritual plant at any time, and his spiritual consciousness was stronger than most foundation-building cultivators after being nurtured by the Soul-Enriching Post and practicing the Divine Scripture, so the fusion was successful.

  A tiny light spot appeared inside the gourd, the light spot was light blue, and countless extremely tiny sword energy danced around it, and from time to time one or two silently merged into it.

  "The most difficult step has been solved. The next step is to breed the light spot into a sword-raising gourd spiritual seed. If one of them is not good, all the previous efforts will be wasted. It seems that I have to come to the secret realm often during this period."

  Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness retreated, thinking.

  He followed the same method and initially bred the prototype of the spiritual seed in the remaining nine sword-raising gourds.

  Next, because there were only five plants of the second-grade Fiery Fruit and Ice Fruit, the number of spiritual fruits was limited, so he did not pick any and used all of them to condense the spiritual seed.

  "Unfortunately, although the seeding saves a lot of spirit stones and sword seals, there is no light ball reward."

  "However, this little sacrifice is also for the greater benefits in the future. Losing some of the light ball rewards of the second-grade and third-grade spirit plants is acceptable."

  Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart. If it was a fourth-grade spirit plant, he would not be able to accept it easily at the moment.

  Coming to the hill full of flames, he took out the Yuanjing Fire Crystal, his palm turned into a crystal jade color, and squeezed it hard.

  Strands of red flames shot out from the crystal like fire snakes, flying wildly in the air.

  The charred Phoenix tree was immersed in the flames, sensing the breath of the Yuanjing Fire, and the dark golden cracks in the middle quietly lit up.

  "Chee!"

  The crisp sound of the phoenix sounded.

  A pair of dark golden phoenix phantoms flew out, turned into streams of light, and directly grabbed a fire snake formed by the Yuanjing Fire, and swallowed it up in a few strokes.

  "The sixth-grade Phoenix tree has red lotus flames and the strange fire on this hill in the early stage. Now with the addition of the fifth-grade Yuanjing fire, I don't have to worry about its growth for a long time in the future."

  Lu Xuan muttered to himself when he saw this.

  After cultivating the Phoenix tree, he checked the detailed status of the other spiritual plants in the secret realm one by one.

  The fifth-grade Qingjing Liuli Tea has grown delicate leaves like green jade. When approaching, the fresh air makes Lu Xuan feel refreshed.

  The Vajra Bodhi, nourished by the Buddhist magic weapon, the Demon Subduing Peg, has grown much better than before. The Vajra phantom appears and disappears, showing an angry look to subdue demons. The

  Heart Monkey Fruit has not been planted for a long time. Because of its high grade, it has not taken root and sprouted yet, but Lu Xuan estimates that it will not take long. The

  Dragon Skeleton Grass raised in the deep spring spirit rain has the maximum nutrition guarantee and is extremely vigorous. It is like a long and thin dragon swimming in the quiet spring water, vivid and lifelike.   

  There are also seven-emotion beans, earth emperor dates, thunder wood and other spiritual plants, all of which are growing well.

  Under the nourishment of the thunder stone, the thunder wood is shining with lightning, and the dead wood contains the power of thunder, and has entered the mature stage.

  "All high-grade spiritual plants are in the incomplete secret realm. I don't know what kind of light ball rewards the fifth-grade spiritual plants can produce."

  So far, no fifth-grade spiritual plants have matured, so Lu Xuan is very much looking forward to it.

  After cultivating the spiritual plants and condensing the spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan returned to the cave.

  "More than forty sword-raising gourds are too many, and they must be dealt with."

  Lu Xuan threw a blue sword-raising gourd in his hand, causing the sword energy in the gourd to riot instantly, as if it could shoot out at any time. The

  third-grade sword-raising gourd is not of much value to him at present, but it is different for the inner disciples. At least for the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, the sword-raising gourd is no different from a powerful third-grade magic weapon.

  "Give some away, sell some, and keep two for yourself as a souvenir."

  "The sword gourd is such a handsome spiritual plant. I have obtained the method of condensing seeds. When there are more condensed seeds, I can try to induce improvement."

  Lu Xuan suddenly had an idea and secretly noted it down.

  "However, I can deal with them slowly. Before that, there is one thing that needs to be solved."

  He took out the fourth-grade sword thousand owl. The sword grass had a strange shape, and the branches and leaves were like a cluster of chaotic swords. The owls condensed by the sword intent stood quietly, and the lower body naturally merged into the branches. Many slender sword-like feathers drooped, and the sharpness was restrained.

  "I have to go to the sword hall and give this fourth-grade sword thousand owl to Senior Brother Shen Ye, and see if I can pull some new sword grass spiritual seeds."

  Because the sword grass is rare, the light ball rewards are very good. In addition, Lu Xuan has long been a disciple of the sword hall and has made a great reputation in the sword hall, so he can easily get some sword grass spiritual seeds.

  He called the fat bird over and drove it to the sword hall quickly.

  As soon as he landed on the bluestone square in front of the Sword Hall, a Sword Hall disciple came up to him, led Feng Hu over, and arranged it properly.

  "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother."

  Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.

  "It's not hard, Senior Brother Lu, this is my job."

  The Sword Hall disciple with a long sword on his back and a handsome appearance said hurriedly.

  Lu Xuan came to the door of the hall, looking at the many sword cultivators coming in and out, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  "Sword Hall, your sword genius is back!"

  He sighed in his heart, full of confidence.

  On weekdays, due to his strong ability in spiritual plants, his ability to cultivate sword grass is second to none among all the disciples in the Sword Hall, so Shen Ye and others in the Sword Hall misunderstood that Lu Xuan was a sword genius.

  After all, being proficient in swordsmanship is a major prerequisite for cultivating sword grass.

  But Lu Xuan knew his own limitations. He could cultivate sword grass because he relied on mastering the detailed status of spiritual plants and absorbing sword experience packages. His aptitude in swordsmanship was very ordinary. He had to spend several times more time and energy than ordinary people to barely cultivate high-grade sword grass.

  But now it was different. With the treasure of Tongming Sword Heart, he was a true swordsmanship genius.
