I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 519: Chapter 517: Bone Slaying Sword Grass_1

“Then I’ll trouble you, Junior Brother Lu.”

A faint smile appeared on Sword Wu Xia’s cold face.

“However, I have a question. If other members of the Sword Hall got a Tier 5 Sword Grass Spirit Seed, they would consider it a treasure and carefully cultivate it. Why would they give it to someone else to plant?”

Lu Xuan curiously asked.

Five-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds are extremely rare. Getting one is possible only by the occasional blessings of the Sword Snatching Pool. Every Sword Cultivator who gets one would try their best to personally grow the sword grass.

After all, during the cultivation process, one can swiftly raise their corresponding swordsmanship, better understand the Sword Grass’s nature and particular features, and forge a harmonious tacit relationship between the two.

He couldn’t understand why Sword Wu Xia would do such a thing.

“First of all, naturally, I believe in your ability to cultivate Sword Grass, Junior Brother Lu. Growing a Tier 5 Sword Grass isn’t so easy. To be safe, it’s better to entrust you with it.”

“Besides, I found a Sword Manual Fragment in an ancient secret realm before. The profound knowledge of the sword inside has benefited me greatly. I’ve been engrossed and have been comprehending day and night, unable to divert my attention to cultivating Sword Grass.”

Sword Wu Xia casually spoke.

A shiver ran down Lu Xuan’s spine.

“To give up the opportunity to cultivate Tier 5 Sword Grass in favor of understanding the Sword Manual Fragment, that fragment must have a significant background. It may even be related to Primordial Infant Great Path.”

He thought secretly.

“If the senior sister trusts me so much, it’s my honor. I will surely try my best to help you cultivate the Tier 5 Sword Grass, Sister Wu Xia.”

Lu Xuan sincerely spoke.

“However, I am a little confused about another thing.”

“Based on my previous experience cultivating Sword Grass, I should practice the corresponding Fifth-Rank Sword Art to successfully cultivate Sword Grass.”

“The problem is, the Fifth-Rank Sword Art is extraordinarily precious. I don’t think the elder brothers in the hall would easily teach me.”

“Junior Brother Lu.”

Sword Wu Xia softly interrupted Lu Xuan.

“You may not be clear on one point. The Tier 5 Sword Grass Spirit Seed is bred by the sect’s Sword Pool. It’s a coincidence to be able to give birth to one. The attribute and characteristics of the Sword Grass are unknown, so there is no corresponding Fifth-Rank Sword Art.”

“How should we cultivate it then?”

Lu Xuan paused for a moment, asking in confusion.

“You need to figure that out. The Tier 5 Sword Grass itself has quite a few strange attributes and carries Sword Intent. You can comprehend while cultivating and find a most suitable cultivation method for the Sword Grass.”

“Ordinary members may not be able to do it, but considering your swordsmanship talent in cultivating the Fourth Grade Sword Grass, there should be no problem.”

“I see.”

Lu Xuan mumbled.

“How am I supposed to know my swordsmanship talent?”

He sighed in his heart. In the past, without a ready-made Sword Art, he was certainly helpless with the Tier 5 Sword Grass, not knowing where to start.

But now it’s different. Armed with the Level 5 Treasure of the Clear Mind Sword from the light cluster, he officially became a swordsmanship genius in the true sense.

“If Junior Brother, you have no other questions, I’ll give you the Sword Grass Spirit Seed.”

Sword Wu Xia said.

“All right, Senior Sister.”

Lu Xuan was excited. He saw Sword Wu Xia’s white robe move without wind, and a beautiful Sword Box flew out of her sleeve. Numerous faint Sword Qi gently moved on the Sword Box, much like little fish.

With a flick of Sword Wu Xia’s hand, an exotic spirit seed jumped out of the sword box.

At first glance, the Spirit Seed looked like a slender piece of bone, translucent as jade and shaped like a sword. As Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense touched the surface of the Spirit Seed, he felt as if he could hear the sound of an enormous war, blaring in his ears. The view of flesh scattering, the murderously heavy atmosphere… as if he had stepped into a vast battlefield filled with boundless slaughter.

The surface of his skin, an oscillating, impalpable glow from the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe, seeped into Lu Xuan’s body.

Retracting his spiritual sense back into his body, Lu Xuan rapidly recovered his clear-headedness.

“What strong murderous intent in this Sword Grass Spirit Seed!”

He couldn’t help but sigh.

“Indeed it is. However, Junior Brother Lu, the fact that you were able to break away from that sharp murderous intent so swiftly is commendable, your mental fortitude is quite good,”

A glimmer of approval shone in Sword Wu Xia’s eyes.

“Alright, this Tier 5 Sword Grass Spirit Seed is now yours.”

“There’s no rush to cultivate it, feel free to go at your own pace.”

Leaving these words, Sword Wu Xia drifted away.

She didn’t bring up the issue of compensation. Lu Xuan understood well, having effortlessly obtained the soon-to-be flourishing Tier 5 Sword Grass Spirit Seed, he owed a significant favor to Sword Wu Xia.

Helping her cultivate the remaining Sword Grass Spirit Seed would naturally settle this debt.

When the two competed for the Sword Grass Spirit Seed, Lu Xuan estimated his chances of receiving it were lower than hers.

After all, whether it’s cultivation level, Sword Dao talent, or even status, he was indeed inferior to her. The only area he surpassed her was the skill to cultivate the Sword Grass.

“Sister Wu Xia assumed that after our agreement, we would be even. But little did she know, I’ll be reaping the light cluster rewards!”

Lu Xuan chuckled.

A Fifth Rank Spiritual Plant and one as rare as the Sword Grass at that, one could imagine the rewards the light cluster would grant.

Bringing to mind this fortunate turn of events, he arrived at the edge of an empty spirit field. He implemented the Earth-Pulling technique, placing the Spirit Seed that resembled a slender bone into the Spirit Soil.

His spiritual sense focused on the shallow layer of Spirit Soil housing the Spirit Seed when suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind.

[Bone Slaying Sword Grass, Fifth Rank Spirit Plant, requires nurturing through the Five Elements Gold Spirit Soil, during the growth process it needs to absorb powerful Slaughter Sword Intent.]

[Innate Sword Instrument, when mature it can be used to refine into a Magic Treasure, each move it makes carries the Slaughter Sword Intent, threatening the souls of all, seizing their minds. The more it slays, the stronger the Sword Intent.]

[During the cultivation process, if you linger near the Sword Grass for too long it will be influenced by the Slaughter Intent, becoming gradually murderous. Use respective treasures to counteract the sword intent.]

[Countless white bones, all result from slaughtering, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!]

“Indeed worthy of a Fifth Rank Sword Grass,”

Lu Xuan opened his eyes, looking at the Sword-shaped spirit seed nestled in the spirit soil – his heart was filled with affection.

“Considering the spirit plant’s information, it seems a bit unorthodox, feels a little embarrassing for this righteous path cultivator to cultivate,”

He sighed internally.

Although I have cultivated many Underworld Spirit Plants, I have always been kind to others, not keen on slaughter.

“Furthermore, there is the issue of the Spirit Soil required for cultivating the Sword Grass Spirit Seed.”

Currently, he had three special kinds of Spirit Soil.

One was the Wu Spirit Soil, where the “Five Elements” property is predominantly Earth, suitable for the majority of ordinary Spirit Plants. Second, the Resentful Spirit Mud, where the Resentful Spirits grow, able to cultivate related Spirit Plants. Lastly, the Underworld Mud Flesh, adaptable to the planting of flesh-type Spirit Plants. Planting ordinary Spirit plants within this soil may lead to anomalies.

“Gold Spirit Soil, I should take the opportunity to see if I can get some.”

Lu Xuan secretly thought. As the grade of the Spirit Plants increased, so do the cultivation requirements. The process becomes more challenging and complicated.

Of course, the harvest will also become richer.
