Chapter 354: Starlight Sword Intent, Selling Pills
Before him, a mature Starlight Sword Grass, about three feet tall, resembled a sharp sword pointing straight towards the sky.
The sword's body was deep blue, with countless stars shimmering on its surface. Upon careful observation, one could sense the sharp sword intent emanating from each starlight.
Lu Xuan's palm transformed into a translucent jade color as he gently pulled the Starlight Sword Grass out of the spirit soil.
The root system of the grass resembled a sword hilt, untainted by any dust.
"What a natural sword!" Lu Xuan exclaimed. His consciousness concentrated on the plant, and immediately, information emerged in his mind.
【Starlight Sword Grass, third-grade spiritual plant, nurtured by starlight sword qi. When mature, it contains subtle stellar power inside, capable of harnessing starlight to defeat enemies.】
Lu Xuan flicked his finger against the Starlight Sword Grass, and amidst a clear sword resonance, numerous starlights surged, gushing out like tiny meteors.
He collected the grass into his storage pouch and then glanced at the silent white orb that had appeared.
The orb flickered slightly, seemingly enticing him to pick it up.
Lu Xuan reached out and lightly touched the surface of the orb. Countless light spots burst open, carrying almost imperceptible sword intent, flowing into Lu Xuan's body.
【Obtained a third-grade Starlight Sword Grass, gained Starlight Sword Intent.】
In an instant, Lu Xuan's consciousness soared as if entering an endless night sky, surrounded by twinkling stars, each operating with profound mystery.
When he returned to his body, Lu Xuan felt a surge of sword intent flooding into his mind. After digesting these insights, he felt as if he had practiced this sword technique for decades or even centuries, wielding the sword with skill and ease.
"Hmm, those sword cultivators dedicate themselves to sword techniques, while I focus on nurturing spiritual plants. In the end, our swordsmanship reaches the same level," Lu Xuan thought to himself.
After obtaining the Starlight Sword Grass seed, he also acquired the third-grade "Starlight Sword Art" from the Sword Hall. After painstaking study, he had just begun to grasp its essence, reaching a level where he could cultivate the sword grass.
Though he frequently practiced over the years, his swordsmanship had not improved much.
However, after absorbing the Starlight Sword Intent from the orb, it felt as if he had practiced this sword technique for decades, and now, he could conjure starlight sword energy with proficiency.
"Indeed, by focusing on results rather than the process, I can also be considered a sword genius!"
With the maturity of the Starlight Sword Grass, only Wind and Thunder Sword Grass of varying growth stages remained in the spiritual field. Lu Xuan planned to use these ten Wind and Thunder Sword Grass to refine the sword grass seeds, hoping to transform the method of obtaining the seeds from nurturing the Sword Sheath to mass production.
As for the fourth-grade Thousand Owls Sword Grass, Lu Xuan began studying the corresponding sword technique relatively late, coupled with its higher grade, it would take a long time to mature.
After returning to the sect for over a month, Lu Xuan planned to visit the courtyard in Sword Gate Town to replenish nutrients for the Bloodthorn Flower, Holy Infant Fruit, and other plants.
He quietly slipped out of the sect alone, riding an ordinary flying sword to the courtyard.
Upon opening the Illusionary Cloud Mist Formation, as soon as he entered the courtyard, a pale red palm slapped his calf.
Lu Xuan focused his gaze and saw the Blood Spirit Palm lurking around him, conveying its desire for blood.
He quickly took out a bottle of Flood Dragon Essence Blood from his storage pouch and poured it directly onto the pale red palm.
After feeding the Blood Spirit Palm some blood, Lu Xuan separately nurtured the other three Yin Realm spiritual plants in the courtyard.
The Aberrant Longevity Peach required fresh demonic beast flesh, the Bloodthorn Flower absorbed large quantities of Flood Dragon Essence Blood, and the Holy Infant Fruit squeezed out a large number of infant souls from the wooden infant.
After properly nurturing these three Yin Realm fifth-grade spiritual plants, Lu Xuan took out a shapeless Resentful Spirit Mud from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The mud of the Resentful Spirit contained a large amount of resentment, which was not suitable for cultivating these kinds of spiritual plants. However, Lu Xuan observed their compatible aura and believed that placing them together might be beneficial.
After completing all this, he disguised himself as a mid-level Foundation Establishment cultivator and entered the Wanbao Tower with the Thousand-Faced Phantom.
"Senior, please."
A mid-level Qi cultivator greeted Lu Xuan with eager smiles as he entered the hall. However, upon scanning Lu Xuan's profound spiritual power, the cultivator's expression turned fearful, and he respectfully welcomed Lu Xuan.
"Well, take me upstairs."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, letting the cultivator guide him to a higher floor.
Most of the items on the first floor were for Qi cultivation, of little use to him at the moment.
Guided by the cultivator, he entered an ancient room.
Soon, a charming maid brought spiritual fruit and tea.
As Lu Xuan took a sip of tea, an old man greeted him.
"I apologize for the delay. Please forgive me," said the old man.
"I am surnamed Li, the branch manager of this Wanbao Tower in Jianmen Town. Whatever the senior needs, just tell me."
The chubby old man wore a friendly smile and warmly offered his assistance.
"Friend Li, I am just a casual cultivator passing through. I occasionally have some treasures to sell."
Lu Xuan spoke lightly, his face covered with the Thousand-Faced Phantom, appearing naturally as if it were his real face.
"I wonder what kind of treasures you wish to sell..."
The old man smiled beside him.
Lu Xuan waved his hand, revealing two Dan pills the size of longans in his palm. The pills had intricate patterns swirling around them, emitting a rich spiritual aura.
"Foundation Establishment Pills! Two of them!"
The chubby old man stood up abruptly, astonishment evident in his tone as he spoke.
"Indeed, two fine Foundation Establishment Pills."
As the manager of Wanbao Tower and situated so close to the Sky Sword Sect in Jianmen Town, the old man's strength and vision were not to be underestimated.
After another glance to confirm the authenticity of the pills, his heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.
Foundation Establishment Pills were usually tightly controlled by major sects and powers. With them, one could potentially advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, which was highly attractive to ordinary cultivators and casual practitioners from small families.
Foundation Establishment Pills rarely circulated in the market, and once they did, countless casual cultivators would scramble for them, even at the cost of their entire fortune.
"I would like to purchase both of these Foundation Establishment Pills. In Jianmen Town, Wanbao Tower is among the strongest in terms of reputation and financial resources. I assure you that the price will satisfy you, friend."
"Do you have any special requirements?"
"I don't need spirit stones. These two Foundation Establishment Pills, along with this four-grade Soul-Inducing Lamp artifact, are to be exchanged for high-grade spiritual plants or the eggs of demon beasts."
"Alternatively, I would consider high-grade pill furnaces or special treasures like spiritual soil or liquid."
As Lu Xuan spoke slowly, a chilly wind blew, and he conjured an eerie lantern in his hand.
With a bone handle and a skin cover, the dark-red flame flickered like countless tentacles, seemingly trying to lure one's soul into it.
