Chapter 436: Chapter 434: Originated from Passion_1
“Brother Shen, here are three Wind and Thunder Sword Grass plants ready for seed condensation.”
“One is already in the early stage of seed condensation, another will be ready to condense seeds in a couple of days, and the last one will need a few more days.”
Lu Xuan then took out three Wind and Thunder Sword Grass plants, along with the Spirit Soil in which they were planted, from his Life Bag.
The reason for the varying growth progress of the Wind and Thunder Sword Grasses is the nurturing effect of the Xuan Sword Sheath. He brought three of them so that the Sword Hall could verify the correctness of the seed condensation method as soon as possible.
After all, the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass is his unique possession. If the Sword Hall wants to verify it, they need to get the spirit seeds from him and cultivate from scratch, which can save a lot of time.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, Junior Brother Lu, please be careful.”
Seeing Lu Xuan casually placing the three Wind and Thunder Sword Grass plants on the ground, Shen Ye hurriedly cautioned, fearful they might get bumped and damaged.
He had roughly read through the seed condensation method given to him by Lu Xuan, and with his own discernment, knew that there was essentially no issue with the method. However, it still needed to be personally verified.
With no Wind and Thunder Sword Grass of his own, he was deeply grateful when Lu Xuan painstakingly brought out three plants.
“After transplantation, the sword grass should not be left outdoors for a long time or else the plant’s vitality will dissipate.”
“Wait just a moment, Junior Brother Lu. I will plant these three Wind and Thunder Sword Grasses in the Sword Hall’s Spirit Field right away, and let the Sword Cultivator Spirit Plant Master with the most experience in our Sword Hall verify the seed condensation method.”
Before he could finish speaking, a clear sword sound echoed from the black sword box on Shen Ye’s back, and a pure white flying sword jumped out, enveloping him as it broke through the window and flew out.
Lu Xuan, on the other hand, calmly sat on the wooden chair, savouring the steaming hot Spiritual Tea.
“This Spiritual Tea tastes quite good; full-bodied, sweet, and rich in spiritual energy. I should take the opportunity to plant some more Spiritual Tea plants, it’s quite suitable for entertaining guests.”
The Pure Luli Tea is a fifth rank spirit plant, and it has been entrusted to Lu Xuan for cultivation by his Golden Pellet master. Even if Lu Xuan had the guts, he wouldn’t dare to keep the spiritual tea for himself. What he is thinking of is finding another kind of tea plant that, once matured, he can harvest the leaves for personal use and for entertaining guests.
In the midst of his musings, Shen Ye rushed back into the room, picked up a cup of Spiritual Tea, and downed it in one gulp.
“Junior Brother Lu’s seed condensation method has been handed over to our fellow members in the Sword Hall. Those few are the sword cultivators in our hall who are most skilled in cultivating Sword Grass. I believe it won’t be long before we have results.”
Shen Ye placed down the teacup and spoke to Lu Xuan.
“Upon hearing that there might be a new type of third-grade sword grass in the Sword Hall, all those cultivators are very curious and huddled together, studying the seed condensation method that you brought.”
“I hope the Spirit Seeds will be successfully condensed.”
Lu Xuan nodded and replied.
“That’s certain. I have absolute confidence in you, Junior Brother.”
Shen Ye paused before continuing.
“In the near future, once the Sword Hall has succeeded in verifying the seed condensation method, the hall will reward you handsomely.”
“Oh? Brother, can you give me more details?”
Upon hearing of the reward, Lu Xuan perked up immediately and asked curiously.
“What reward you will receive is entirely up to you to choose.”
“You can select any fully matured Sword Grass in the Sword Hall, even high-grade Sword Embryos, Sword Pills, and various Sword Techniques.”
“What a great opportunity!”
Lu Xuan said to himself.
Since joining the Sword Hall, he has obtained a large number of Sword Grass Spirit Seeds from them, but most of them he has no rights to own.
Instead, they asked him to cultivate it on behalf of the Sect. Once successful, the Sword Hall would reward him generously and also provide a large number of Sword Marks to the Sword Hall disciples every month.
He never imagined that upon obtaining the seed condensation method for a third-grade Sword Grass, he would have the right to freely select various treasures from the Sword Hall.
“However, there’s one thing I must remind you, Junior Brother.”
Shen Ye’s expression was serious and he said solemnly.
“Brother Shen, please proceed.”
“Given your current Foundation Establishment mid-term cultivation base, there is, unfortunately, a limit on treasures of the fifth rank Nascent Soul stage you can receive. Not only would you not be able to fully utilize it after receiving it, but it may also invite unnecessary troubles. I hope you can understand this.”
“No problem.”
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. Despite the limitations, it was already beyond his expectations that he could actually get a fifth rank treasure.
“Also, while you can choose four grade and below sword grass, sword pills, and similar treasures on your own, if you chose too many, it may invite questions from Golden Pellet Elder Uncle. Please try to exercise restraint.”
“In addition, I must tell you that these treasures can only be used personally. If it is discovered that you traded them for other items or spirit stones, it will become very difficult to obtain more treasures in the future.”
“To avoid this situation, I need you to make a Heart Demon vow.”
“I can.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
The benefits from the method of condensing the third-grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass seed had already greatly exceeded his expectations.
Being able to enter the sword pool early and obtain good sword implements such as the Thunder Sound Sword and the Nebula Sword.
Once the condensing seeds method was validated, he could also get all kinds of treasures from the Sword Hall. It wouldn’t hurt too much if he had to limit the quantity and rank slightly.
“By the way, Brother Shen. There’s something I’d like to consult you about.”
“If I want to get more Sword Grass Spirit Seeds from the hall, what restrictions will be in place?”
As this involved the light cluster reward, Lu Xuan was particularly concerned about the issue of Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye was taken aback.
“Junior Brother Lu, there’s something I don’t understand.”
“Since you can already get complete Sword Grass, Sword implements, Sword embryos, Sword pills, and high-grade Sword techniques from the hall, why are you still so obsessed with Sword Grass Spirit Seeds?”
“To cultivate a high-grade Sword Grass requires a lot of time and effort. Isn’t getting a complete Sword Grass comparable to personally cultivating it?”
“You should have a better understanding of me, Brother Shen. I am a very cautious person and rarely go on adventures to explore secret lands or hunt demon beasts and demon envoys. Instead, I focus on cultivating Spiritual Plants and raising Spirit Beasts, even prioritizing it over my cultivation.”
“I guess it all boils down to my love for it.”
Lu Xuan said slowly.
Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, Shen Ye recalled the scene when he first met Lu Xuan at the Agricultural Department Hall and couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
Back then, when Lu Xuan, who was still a Qi Cultivating Scatter Repair, was able to cultivate a difficult Two Grade Sword Grass before joining the Sky Sword Sect, it would have been impossible without a real passion and talent.
“Besides, there’s another thing I’ve been thinking about.”
“While I’m in the sect, enjoying all the resources and benefits for cultivation and under the protection of the sect, I always want to contribute even a little to the sect.”
“With just a little Spirit Plant talent, cultivating Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, obtaining various high-grade Sword Implements, enabling more fellows to enhance their strength somewhat, can also provide a bit more security when they venture into the secret lands to compete for opportunities.”
Lu Xuan said sincerely, further solidifying his image as a Spirit Plant Master, and incidentally elevating the intention of cultivating Spirit Seeds several levels higher.
“At the same time, I can also get a few small white light cluster rewards.”
He added in his heart.
“I never expected Junior Brother Lu to have such selfless thoughts. It makes me feel ashamed and far from your standard.”
Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, Shen Ye showed deep respect.
