I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 1044 - 1042: Elemental Crystal Sword Embryo, Spiritual Seeds Mutation

Before long, the day had arrived for the Sword Sect to set out on their expedition to conquer that unknown Cave Heaven.

Lu Xuan stood at the highest point of his cave mansion, looking up at the firmament above the Sword Sect.

Beneath the cover of the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Array, countless giant swords of Qi either roared past or wove through the air with agility. Suddenly, a flying boat in the shape of a giant sword swept across the sky.

Then the second, the third followed...

"There are as many as twelve seven-grade Giant Sword Boats!"

Lu Xuan exclaimed in a low voice.

"More than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs are mobilized, and over two hundred Golden Core Real People. There are even more than a thousand Foundation Establishment disciples from the outer sect."

"With such an impressive display of force, it's estimated they could sweep back and forth through that unknown Cave Heaven numerous times."

"I wonder how many fellow disciples will gain opportunities within the Cave Heaven."

"Not like me, I can only cheer them on from here and stay in the sect to cultivate various spiritual plants, while occasionally collecting Light Clusters."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

After the expeditionary cultivators left, the sect fell into a rare silence.

Visitors from the Huanzhen Sword Peak to Lu Xuan's cave mansion had also dwindled a lot.

Lu Xuan couldn't have been happier about this, content to stay in his cave mansion and cultivate spiritual plants.

"Two more five-grade Sword Grasses have fully matured."

Of the remaining seven strands of five-grade Sword Grass, one each of Bone Slaying Sword Grass and Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass had reached full maturity.

Lu Xuan plucked them from the Spirit Soil, one after another.

Both strands of Sword Grass were of quite high quality, strong and pure with Sword Intent, both excellent examples of Innate Sword Instruments.

After storing away the two strands of five-grade Sword Grass, Lu Xuan's gaze fell upon the two White Light Groups in distinct corners of the spiritual field.

Sword Qi permeated the spiritual field, moving like slender fish through the Light Clusters, creating a unique kind of beauty.

Lu Xuan reached out and gently touched one of them.

Countless fine light particles soared into the sky, instantly condensing into a thin river of light that rushed into his body.

[Harvested one strand of Class 5 Phototropism Sword Grass, received a Six-product treasure Elemental Crystal Sword Embryo.]

A thought flashed through his mind.

Soon after, a strange treasure appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The treasure, vaguely discernible as a sword in its embryonic form, was crystal-clear and had a gentle spiritual light flowing along its surface. Pure Sword Intent surged from within it. Upon closer examination, it seemed almost as if he could feel its faint breathing.

Turning the treasure over in his hands, Lu Xuan's mind focused on the item.

Instantly, detailed information about the treasure popped up in his Sea of Consciousness.

[Elemental Crystal Sword Embryo, a Six-product treasure, formed from a large amount of Six-grade rare Spirit Ores known as Elemental Crystals. It is the embryo of a middle-rank Flying Sword Magical Treasure containing copious Spiritual Nature, allowing for swift nurturing and refinement into a Magic Treasure. Its might far surpasses that of similar rank Flying Swords.]

"A Six-product treasure, Elemental Crystal Sword Embryo."

Lu Xuan examined the Flying Sword crystal in his hand that seemed yet to be unsheathed, satisfied with what he held.

"Refining an ordinary six-grade Flying Sword into a middle-rank Magical Treasure is extremely challenging, needing a considerable amount of energy for nurturing and tempering, but this Elemental Crystal Sword Embryo, endowed with inherent Spiritual Nature, requires far less time and effort than an ordinary Flying Sword, and its might is much stronger. It can indeed be considered the natural embryo of a Magic Treasure."

He silently thought to himself.

"For a Sword Cultivator, the worth of this Elemental Crystal Sword Embryo is far beyond that of an ordinary six-grade Flying Sword. If placed in the Grocery Store, it will likely provoke a frenzy among my fellow Sword Cultivators."

With a thought, Lu Xuan stored the Elemental Crystal Sword Embryo into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

He then moved to the other side of the Spiritual Field and lightly touched the second White Light Group.

[Harvested one strand of Class 5 White Bone Killing Sword Grass, received a Six-product treasure Dongxuan Sword Stele.]

As the thought passed, an unusual stone stele appeared before him.

The stele was about three feet tall with a weathered surface that exuded a sense of antiquity. The characters "Dongxuan" were inscribed on the front—each stroke of the characters cut three points deep into the stone, as if marked by a sword.

On the back, an ethereal miniature sword hovered deep within the stele, wavering and intermittently visible, seemingly ready to unleash a devastating blast of Sword Qi at any moment.

"The second Dongxuan Sword Stele, quite an impressive sixth-grade Swordsmanship Treasure," Lu Xuan's face revealed a trace of a smile.

This Dongxuan Sword Stele was a token of the Sword Sect, which had a close connection with the supreme Cave Heaven, the Dongxuan Sword Realm within the sect. It was the key to entering the Sword Realm.

At the same time, the Dongxuan Sword Stele was greatly beneficial to Sword Cultivators. Cultivating near the stele could double the effectiveness, and the countless Sword Intents within it would also influence the surrounding area, gradually transforming it into a treasure land of Sword Intent.

Years ago, Lu Xuan had already obtained a piece from the Light Cluster, which he placed in the Thunder Fire Star Cave Sword Grass Spirit Field Area. During the process of developing the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and the Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd, it played a significant role.

"However, the origin of this piece of Dongxuan Sword Stele is unclear. Should it be discovered, it would be hard to explain, so it's best not to take it out within the Sword Sect."

"Given a suitable opportunity, I'll see if I can use it to enter the Dongxuan Sword Realm."

Lu Xuan stored the Dongxuan Sword Stele away carefully.

"The rewards of the Light Clusters opened by the mature fifth-grade Sword Grasses are also quite good, considered rare and valuable among treasures of the same rank."

Lu Xuan surveyed his Spirit Field, examining the remaining five strands of fifth-grade Sword Grass.

As for the other High Rank Sword Grasses, apart from that one piece of sixth-grade Star Shifting and Sun Swapping Sword Grass, maturity was still a long way off.

"It's about time for the seven Origin Spirit Ginsengs to reach the Condensing Seed stage."

He took great care in their cultivation and then entered the small courtyard by the Heart Sword Lake, which had been gifted to him by the Huanzhen Sword Master.

In the courtyard, the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath was slanted into the Spirit Soil, surrounded by numerous pure Sword Intents, which firmly enveloped it.

Lu Xuan picked up the Ancient Sword Sheath, gave a light shake, and numerous Silver White Sword Grass Spirit Seeds slid out effortlessly.

Compared to the last time, the vitality shown by the Spirit Seeds was clearly stronger.

"It seems like the Sword Qi treasure land by Heart Sword Lake is quite effective," Lu Xuan murmured softly, his heart filled with more anticipation.

"With more than twenty Spirit Seeds, there should be some that have been successfully stimulated and induced, right?"

As he had mastered the Method of Seed Condensation for Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, he was very generous, investing more than twenty Spirit Seeds at once.

With a thought, he placed one of them within a thin crack in a piece of Spiritual Soil entwined with thunderous light.

His mind focused upon it.

"[Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, a fourth-grade Spiritual Plant...]," "It's the same as before," Lu Xuan observed each Spirit Seed. The information appearing in his Sea of Consciousness showed no difference, which meant that no Mutation had occurred in the Spirit Seeds.

His expression remained unchanged, his heart unfazed.

The leap from fourth-grade Sword Grass to fifth-grade was more than ten times harder than going from third to fourth grade.

Yet, he still had full confidence.

"An Ordinary Spirit Plant Master who wants to improve new varieties of Spirit Plants. After stimulating and inducing the Spiritual Seeds, they must cultivate them to maturity."

"During the cultivation process, they need to gradually find the most suitable cultivation method. Moreover, it often takes tens or even dozens of years to confirm whether the mutation was successful."

"I, on the other hand, only need to plant the Spiritual Seeds to obtain detailed information about them. Just one round of induction saves an immeasurable amount of time and effort, not to mention the numerous experiments needed during the improvement process."

"Therefore, on my own, in the improvement of Spiritual Seeds, I can match the efforts of who knows how many Sect Powers."

Lu Xuan reflected on his unique ability and continued to examine the remaining Silver White Spirit Seeds.

"Hm?"

He let out a light sound of surprise.

Finally, there was a slight difference in his thoughts.

"[Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, fourth-grade Mutant Spiritual Plant, induced under the dual stimulation of Sword Qi treasure land and Swordsmanship Treasures, during the cultivation process it needs to be nourished with Thunder Blade Energy.]"

"[After the Spiritual Plant matures, it becomes an Innate Sword Instrument, containing mysterious Thunder Spirit essence capable of easily unleashing powerful Thunder Blade Sword Energy, its might close to that of a fifth-grade Flying Sword.]"

"I've finally obtained a Mutated Spirit Seed!" Lu Xuan's heart surged with intense joy, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
