Chapter 945: Chapter 943 Thunder Clap Sword Grass, Heart Sword Lake

“Junior Brother Lu Xuan? Personally accepted as an Inner Sect Disciple by the True Sword Master?”

Fire Scale Child’s face was filled with disbelief.

He simply couldn’t reconcile the two in his mind.

One was a brother skilled in Spirit Plants back in the Sky Sword Sect, and the other was the True Sword Master, overseeing one of the nine Sword Peaks, never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the two would have such an affiliation.

“That’s right, it’s Junior Brother Lu Xuan, the one in question. This time the True Sword Master went to the Cloud Void Domain to attend the Myriad Spirit Conference held by the Liyang Dao Sect, where he unexpectedly discovered Junior Brother Lu’s whereabouts.”

“Touched by Junior Brother Lu’s talent in areas like Spirit Plants and Spirit Brew, he took him under his wing at Huanzhen Sword Peak.”

“Junior Brother Lu indeed possesses an extraordinary talent in the Path of Spiritual Plants.”

“Wait a moment, Brother Ge, you said Junior Brother Lu was accepted as an Inner Sect Disciple? That means…”

Caught in his feelings, Fire Scale Child seemed to suddenly realize something and looked up at Ge Pu.

“That’s right, Junior Brother Lu has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

Ge Pu paused for a moment, a bitter smile emerging on his face.

“Moreover, he has already become a Golden Core Late Stage True Person…”

“Golden Core Late Stage?”

Fire Scale Child murmured to himself, his eyes displaying a momentary daze.

Hearing Ge Pu’s words unleashed a torrent of complex emotions in his heart.

Shock, envy, joy, bitterness, jealousy…

“Ah…”

It was a long while before those emotions transformed into a long sigh.

He had never imagined, the gap between them had grown so vast.

Back in the Sky Sword Sect, he was a disciple of exceptional talent and esteemed status, a True Disciple, full of youthful pride, how glorious it was.

And Lu Xuan was merely a Spirit Plant Master, of average talent, neglectful in his cultivation, not skilled in duels of law.

Decades had passed, and while he had failed his first attempt at Core Formation, damaging his foundation and dampening his spirits for a long time before recovering, the other had already become a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator. How could he maintain his composure and not have his Dao heart shattered on the spot–this was already quite an achievement.

“I never imagined Junior Brother Lu would have such an opportunity…”

He whispered, his voice laden with many indescribable sentiments.

“Indeed, beyond everyone’s expectations,” Ge Pu nodded, his tone changing.

“In a few days, I plan to arrange a small reunion with some fellow sect members from those days, to celebrate Junior Brother Lu joining Huanzhen Sword Peak. I hope, Junior Brother Huo, that you can find the time to come and see him.”

“I, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, where do I get the face to meet my former junior brother?”

Fire Scale Child fell silent for a while, then said.

“Junior Brother Huo must never belittle himself; with your talent, you will surely break through to the Core Formation Realm next time.”

“You and Junior Brother Lu haven’t seen each other for many years, and now there’s an opportunity to reunite, you should take the chance to reconnect.”

Ge Pu hinted.

“Alright, I’ll make sure to attend on time,” Fire Scale Child quickly adjusted his mindset. Although Ge Pu hadn’t spelled it out, he knew in his heart that his once junior brother had become a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator and was highly valued by the True Sword Master. His future was boundless, and maintaining the fellowship from the past would be advantageous and harmless to him.

Huanzhen Sword Peak.

Yuan Rong brought Lu Xuan to a spacious cave abode at the summit of Sword Peak.

Outside the cave abode lay an endless sea of clouds, from within faintly came the whistling sounds of Sword Qi.

Entering it, Lu Xuan, with his current mastery in the Sword Dao, could keenly sense the mysterious Sword Intent hidden inside the cave.

The Sword Intent was like the traceless horns of an antelope, elusive yet seemingly omnipresent, filling the entire cave abode.

“Huanzhen Sword Peak disciples are relatively fewer compared to the other peaks, so there are quite a few vacant cave abodes.”

“Disciple Lu, how do you find this cave abode?”

“It is extremely spacious, which allows for the development of a large number of Spirit Fields. Moreover, the Sword Intent within this abode is among the best of all the caves, which is beneficial for the growth of Sword Grass and other Spirit Plants.”

“More importantly, there is a rapid passage nearby that leads to Heart Sword Lake, convenient for you, disciple, to collect Spiritual Liquid and Spiritual Seeds.”

Yuan Rong took Lu Xuan through each part of the cave abode, endlessly explaining.

“Many thanks, Uncle Master, I am very satisfied. However, what is the peculiar existence of Heart Sword Lake? Please enlighten me.”

Lu Xuan’s face showed a hint of curiosity.

“Heart Sword Lake is a Divine Mysterious Treasure Land within the Sword Sect. It contains endless Sword Qi that condenses into Spiritual Liquid, forming a large lake.”

“Occasionally, disciples from within the sect enter the Heart Sword Lake for arduous cultivation in seclusion.”

“The lake water greatly benefits the growth of Sword Grass and similar Spirit Plants. At the same time, it also nurtures many High Rank Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.”

“However, to collect Spiritual Seeds from the depths of Heart Sword Lake, one must obtain the sect’s permission.”

Yuan Rong explained in detail.

“There is such a treasure land? It’s like a greatly magnified version of the Sword Pool from the days of the Sky Sword Sect.”

Hearing about the possibility of collecting High Rank Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, Lu Xuan immediately became interested.

He had already been shown several cave abodes by Yuan Rong, and he was most satisfied with this one, promptly making his choice.

“About the cultivation of Spirit Plants you will undertake in the future, I need to make things clear to you first.”

“Generally, Spirit Plant Master disciples within the Sword Peak obtain Spiritual Seeds through three ways.”

“Firstly, those who make significant contributions to Huanzhen Sword Peak will receive various rewards, including many varieties of High Rank Spirit Plants.”

“Disciple Lu, for offering those two condensing methods of the Sword Grass Sword Gourd, you will be rewarded not only by the Spiritual Plant Hall of the Sword Palace but also handsomely by the Sword Peak.”

“Secondly, the Sword Peak will provide Spiritual Seeds and entrust you to cultivate certain special Spirit Plants. You will be richly rewarded upon successful cultivation.”

“Lastly, you can go to the Spiritual Plant Hall in the Sword Palace to exchange for Spiritual Seeds or trade with other disciples within the sect.”

“Of course, how you obtain Spiritual Seeds outside the sect is your own business.”

“Many thanks, Uncle Yuan.”

Lu Xuan said respectfully, bowing his head.

“This time Disciple Lu has brought great fame to Huanzhen Sword Peak. The Sword Master has specifically instructed me to gift you some additional Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.”

“Here are thirty third and fourth grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds and ten fifth-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, all of which I entrust to you, for you to manage.”

“Once they mature, you can sell them yourself or exchange them for Spirit Stones and contributions with the Sword Peak.”

Yuan Rong waved his fiery red sleeves, and instantly a small pile of Sword Grass Spirit Seeds appeared in front of him.

The Sword Qi within the seeds attracted each other, intermittently emitting a clashing sound of sword chimes.

Among them, there were many varieties that Lu Xuan had previously cultivated, such as Starlight Sword Grass, Sword Peacock, and Green Lotus Sword Grass, along with the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass that he had initially offered.

There were only three types of fifth-grade seeds. He was fairly familiar with two types, Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass and Bone Slaying Sword Grass, each possessing three seeds. There were also four seeds of a rather mystical variety, from which booming sounds of thunder could be felt, full of immense power.

As Lu Xuan took the seeds, through the Spirit Soil drawn from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch beneath his skin, he learned detailed information about this particular seed.

“Thunder Clap Sword Grass, a fifth-grade Spirit Plant. In its growth process, it needs to be nourished and refined by Sword Qi Thunder Sound. When the Sword Grass is activated upon maturity, it carries the effect of Sword Qi Thunder Sound, capable of captivating hearts.”
