I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 438: Chapter 436: Swords Produce Lotus_1

Sword Hall.

In a quiet and elegant room, a heated argument echoed.

The voices, like swords, seemed to pierce the eardrums.

“Junior Brother Shen, I implore you to hand over that Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed to me,” a tall, bald monk with a serious expression said to Shen Ye, who was sitting calmly at one end of the room.

The monk had a giant stone sword on his back, teeming with numerous big and small cracks, all deep in black and red, indication of being soaked with the essence blood of countless demon beasts and demonic envoys.

Despite his aura of notable slaying, the bald monk’s attitude was somewhat subdued at this time.

“Junior Brother Shen, you know my situation. My flying sword is already overused and even the most outstanding sword caster in the Sword Hall cannot fix it.”

“Therefore, the rare appearance of the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed is extremely important to me. I hope that you can help me out, junior brother. For that, I will forever remember this favor,” the bald monk pleaded earnestly.

His demand came from his desperate desire to acquire the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed.

Fourth Grade Swordgrass Seeds are extremely rare in the Sword Hall and spark fierce disputes among every sword cultivator in the hall whenever they appear.

A Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed, which sits at the forefront of fourth grade Swordgrass, is naturally even more valuable.

Indeed, his flying sword was seriously damaged. If he could obtain the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed and carefully cultivate it, establishing a mental link with the Swordgrass, he could create a rare sword implement.

With long term spiritual nourishment, there is even a slim possibility of refining the Swordgrass into a magic treasure.

Hence, such was his desire to acquire the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed from Shen Ye.

“Junior Brother Xiong, your sword is a bit damaged but given your assets, you should be able to fix it,” said a thin old man with a gloomy expression. He bore a slender sword scar on his forehead, as if harboring a terrifying Sword Qi.

“Brother Huang, if your lifespan is limited, I suggest you find a way to acquire something that can extend it. Putting your hopes on the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed will only lead to more illusions,” the bald sword cultivator sneered in reply.

“Junior Brother Shen, knowing my predicament, can you show me some sympathy and hand over the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed to me?”

“Junior Brother Shen, please give it to me. I assure you I will succeed in cultivating it.”

Both men turned their gazes towards Shen Ye, who sat on a wooden chair.

Shen Ye seemed unfazed, not influenced by the two men’s supplications in the slightest.

“Elder brothers, I indeed possess a Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed.”

At Shen Ye’s words, a hint of joy emerged on their faces, only for Shen Ye’s tone to suddenly shift.

“However, I specifically asked for that Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed from an elder for a friend of mine.”

“If elder brothers wish to obtain a Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed, it would be better to directly ask the elder. He still has three or four, there might even be one left for you.”

“Junior Brother Shen, who would be so influential as to secure a Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed right after it forms?” a thin old man with a shiny sword scar on his forehead asked, his voice filled with a razor-sharp Sword Intent.

“Brother Shen, I came!”

Before Shen Ye could answer, a familiar figure swiftly entered the room.

“Junior Brother Lu, I’m surprised you’re here so early!” Shen Ye seemed somewhat surprised at Lu Xuan’s speed.

“Haha, I am truly curious about the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed that Brother Shen mentioned, so as soon as I received Brother Shen’s communication talisman, I rushed over as quickly as I could,” Lu Xuan said, unable to suppress the smile on his face at the idea of soon obtaining a new Fourth Grade Swordgrass Seed.

“Who are these two elder brothers…”

Only after he entered the room did he notice the bald monk and the thin elder. Upon feeling with his spiritual sense that both of them were at the Foundation Establishment Perfectionist level, he hurriedly paid his respects.

“This is Elder Brother Xiong, and this is Brother Huang.”

“As for Junior Brother Lu, he is the owner of that Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed.”

“He also owns the recently developed method of condensing Wind and Thunder Swordgrass Seeds.”

Shen Ye introduced Lu Xuan to them.

“Junior Brother Lu, are you the cultivator who figured out the way to condense third-grade swordgrass seeds?”

Upon hearing this, the thin elder couldn’t believe how young Lu Xuan was and couldn’t help but ask.

“Indeed, it was me. I was lucky to stumble onto it,” Lu Xuan modestly replied.

The two looked at each other and mutually decided to stop vying for the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed.

Though both of them were stronger than Lu Xuan in terms of cultivation level and sword Dao abilities, none of those advantages meant anything in front of this new method for condensing third-grade spirit seeds.

The Sky Sword Sect is known for its mastery of the sword, and many of the high-level cultivators specializing in Sword Dao are in the Sword Hall. There are no fewer than twenty Sword Daoists in the foundation establishment perfect realm in the Sword Hall, even slightly more than the amount of swordgrass seed condensation techniques that the Sky Sword Sect has developed over thousands of years.

Who’s more valuable is clear.

The two left one after another.

Seeing this, Shen Ye took a spirit seed from the storage bag.

At first glance, the spirit seed looked like a lotus seed, about the size of a pigeon egg, and was a jade green. If you look closely, the surface is covered with hundreds of tiny sword blades, buzzing with sword intent, as if they would explode with a powerful edge at any moment.

“This is the Green Lotus Swordgrass Seed left especially for Junior Brother Lu.”

“This Jade Slip also contains the related sword technique for cultivating the Green Lotus Swordgrass, the Fourth Grade “Green Lotus Sword Scripture”. Please absorb it as soon as possible and keep it confidential,” Shen Ye said, handing over a deep blue Jade Slip along with the spirit seed to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan took it, with a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

A fourth-grade swordgrass spirit seed and a fourth-grade Sword Scripture were all acquired without spending a single spirit stone or sword command.

The joy of free loot!

He once again thanked Shen Ye and said his goodbyes.

When he returned to the mountain peak, Lu Xuan immediately jumped off of Fat Bird and found an empty Spirit Field.

Using the Earth Pulling Technique, a thin crack appeared in the Wu Spirit Soil, and the lotus-like spirit seed was planted inside of it.

Luxuan focused his mind on the spirit seed.

“Green Lotus Sword Grass, Fourth Grade Spirit Plant, nurtured with Green Lotus Sword Qi, can condense out the illusion of a green lotus when matured, which can be infused into the swordgrass. It can produce a variety of effects, extremely aggressive. Every blade of grass conceives lotuses.”

“Another fourth-grade Sword Grass.”

With a smirk, Lu Xuan thought of the three fourth-grade swordgrass plants in his Spirit Field: Sword Thousand Owls, Sword Peacock, and the just acquired Green Lotus Sword Grass.

Each of the three varieties of Swordgrass had unique characteristics. Sword Thousand Owls was full of spiritual nature and could variate Sword Intent into the illusion of a ferocious owl. Sword Peacock, flashy yet deadly, possessed the power of generating a Sword Array. The Green Lotus Sword Grass could condense illusions of a green lotus, allowing for infinite variations.

“I need to spend a lot of time cultivating the ‘Green Lotus Sword Scripture,’ otherwise I cannot cultivate the Green Lotus Sword Grass properly,” Lu Xuan said, seemingly resigned.

“I just wanted to farm, how did I end up becoming a Sword Dao expert?” He wondered out loud.
