I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 418: Chapter 416 – My Scabbard is Starving_1

“Fifth-grade Magical Artifact!”

“It is a special magical instrument specifically designed for Divine Souls!”

Lu Xuan was overjoyed. The Soul Piercing Needle he held might have a simple function, but its effect was extremely powerful.

Magical instruments for divine souls were rare and hard to come by. Once used, they were hard to defend against and caught people off guard.

“I’ve got one more fifth-rank treasure.”

“A Void Nightmare Eye proficient in illusion techniques and capable of wide range surveillance, the ‘Pure Yang True Fire Talisman’ containing Ultimate Yang and Pure Yang True Fire, the space treasure Gluttonous Insect Pouch, and now this fifth-rank Soul Piercing Needle. I expect few in the sect’s authentic teachings have as much wealth as me.”

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xuan got Fat Bird through Spiritual Sense communication, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, he reached the outside of the Sword Hall.

He walked through the Sword Qi restriction and arrived at a towering mountain peak that looked like a sharp sword.

Once Lu Xuan had settled Fat Bird, a Sword Hall Disciple came to lead the bird away for extraction later.

“Brother Shen.”

Lu Xuan found Shen Ye and greeted him.

“Junior Brother Lu, you’re here.”

Shen Ye smiled gently and responded.

“Could Brother Shen take me to the Sword Pool?”

“Sure.” Shen Ye nodded and led Lu Xuan into a wide hall.

Inside the hall, there were already seven or eight Sword Hall disciples waiting, some holding sword implements and some carrying sword boxes, all of them extraordinary.

“This is Zhong Bai Yu. His cultivation base is at the Foundation Establishment Late-term, and he is a master of Sword Arrays.”

“This is Shi Hao. His cultivation base is at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term. He has reached the stage of Perfectly Proficient with several high-grade sword techniques and has mastered several different Sword Intents.”

“This is…”

Shen Ye introduced each of the Sword Hall disciples in the hall one by one to Lu Xuan.

“This is Junior Brother Lu Xuan. His cultivation base is at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term. His Sword Dao mastery might not be the best among you, but he possesses a terrifying ability to cultivate sword grass.”

“So far, his success rate is one hundred percent, and it’s not lacking in ‘Good Quality’ sword grass.”

“Moreover, there’s the possibility that he could develop a new type of third-grade sword grass.”

“Hello, Brother Lu.” The Foundation Establishment Late-term Fellow Disciple named Zhong Bai Yu greeted Lu Xuan with a cheerful smile.

He had a stout figure, and his round face smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, with a kind smile.

“Hello, Brother Lu.”

…

Among the seven or eight disciples, some were warmly greeting him, not belittling him at all because of Lu Xuan’s identity as a Spirit Plant Master.

According to Shen Ye, although Lu Xuan’s Sword Dao may be mediocre, he naturally excels in getting the qualifications to enter the Sword Pool.

There were also two or three people who just nodded gently, looking slightly cold.

These were the ones who were intoxicated with swords, spent most of their time and energy on practicing Sword Art techniques, and were indifferent to Lu Xuan getting the qualifications to enter the Sword Pool by cultivating Sword Grass.

Of course, they were all from the same sect, and since there were no disputes over interests, there was no ridicule or contempt.

Lu Xuan had a smile on his lips. For those who came up to get to know him, he chatted with them a bit, but for those who were indifferent towards him, he didn’t go out of his way to warm up to them.

He said nothing to refute Shen Ye’s assessment of his average swordsmanship.

After absorbing many experience packages, his understanding of the “Four Seasons Sword Art,” “Wind Thunder Sword Scripture,” and “Starlight Swordsmanship” has reached a profound realm.

He diligently nurtures two fourth-grade sword grass Sword Peacock and Sword Thousand Owls, using the frequency of sword technique sword formations often, the corresponding “Thousand Owl Sword Classic” and “Peacock Sword Array” skills are not weak.

Perhaps he couldn’t surpass all the sword Tao geniuses in the hall, but he had confidence that he wouldn’t be at the bottom, he was average.

“Although I don’t have natural talent in sword Dao, and I haven’t spent much time practicing sword techniques, I have the Light Group Experience package.”

Lu Xuan secretly felt pleased at the thought.

After waiting for a while, a cold and aloof woman walked into the wide hall.

She had a delicate, slender sword tucked into her dark hair, and on her earlobes hung a pair of exquisite small sword earrings; with her every movement, they swung lightly, a trace of sword Qi lingering around her.

It was Sword Wu Xia, with whom he had crossed paths in the New Blessed Lands filled with mutant spiritual plants, one of the seventeen Authentic Teachings in the sect, a regular at the Sword Pool.

“Sister Wu Xia.”

Lu Xuan and the others respectfully greeted her one after another.

They could see that her prestige among the many sword Tao geniuses was very high; in the eyes of several people looking at her, there were even traces of fanaticism.

“This time we are going treasure hunting in the Sword Pool. I will lead you all in maintaining order among the sect members in the Sword Pool. I hope that we will move forward and retreat together, and do not harm the fellowship among sect members.”

The cold woman nodded slightly. Her voice was as cold as a clear spring.

“Understood.”

“We’ll do as Sister suggests.”

The people agreed in unison.

Sword Wu Xia waved her hand, and ten things, similar to special spiritual fruits, appeared in the air around them, circling around the crowd.

The Spiritual Fruits appeared to be made up of countless tiny sword glows, automatically coalescing together. Within them swirled an endless, imperceptible Sword Qi, as if it could erupt into a terrifying power at any time.

“Several of you are entering the Sword Pool for the first time; I will briefly introduce it to you.”

Sword Wu Xia extended her hand, and the ten Sword Qi Wild Fruits slowly floated above her palm.

“This is the Sword Fruit, a special treasure in the Sword Pool formed by the condensation of countless sword Qi. It’s the key factor for staying in the Sword Pool for a long time.”

“There are countless strong and mysterious sword Qi in the Sword Pool, which will swarm and attack if they detect an intruder.”

“With this Sword Fruit, your aura will merge with the Sword Pool, and the sword Qi won’t attack you over a wide area.”

“Of course, do not let your guard down. If you deliberately provoke the sword Qi in the Sword Pool, it will retaliate, and by then, even the Sword Fruit may not be able to save you.”

Sword Wu Xia carefully explained to everyone, and the Sword Fruits in the air above her palm flew before everyone.

Lu Xuan curiously plucked this special Sword Fruit from the air to feel the extremely subtle sharpness in his palm as he observed it carefully.

As a Spirit Plant Master, he had a very high sensitivity to the word “fruit”.

“Junior Brother Lu, this is your first time entering the Sword Pool. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me.”

Sword Wu Xia took a few steps forward towards Lu Xuan and asked gently.

“Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Wu Xia. I don’t have any concerns at the moment, but if I need your help, I won’t hesitate to ask.”

Lu Xuan quickly said.

Upon seeing Sword Wu Xia initiative in talking to Lu Xuan, the Sword Hall Disciples who were previously indifferently immediately looked at Lu Xuan differently.

Sword Wu Xia was highly revered in their hearts, the one who could make the proud people admit their inferiority on the sword Dao. Unexpectedly, such an existence would even deign to care about a sword grass Spirit Plant Master.

Lu Xuan discreetly stepped back a few steps, lightly fiddling with the Sword Qi Fruit in his hand, feeling the throbbing sensation from the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath at his waist.

Upon seeing the many Sword Hall Disciples, Lu Xuan could feel a craving from his sheath. When the ten Sword Fruits appeared, this craving reached its peak.

“My sword sheath is already starving.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but think.
