Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 722 - 690 Qingyu Sword Immortal, Cyan Thunder Sword Array
She Qingqing had a look of seriousness on her face.
For this cultivation of Cyan Jade Bamboo, she had put in considerable effort and cared for it meticulously.
Cultivating Cyan Jade Bamboo wasn’t just a matter of watering it with Water of Origin and sitting back, waiting for these spiritual bamboos to advance.
This required not only controlling the amount of Water of Origin to avoid wastage but also ensuring it’s not too little, lacking Spirit Charm nutrients. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
At the same time, one must always monitor the changes in the Cyan Jade Bamboo after irrigation.
If the effect of the Water of Origin is too strong, causing the Cyan Jade Bamboo itself to mutate, grow crooked, or give rise to pests, these issues need to be addressed promptly.
Otherwise, the Cyan Jade Bamboo would easily suffer damage, and some Water of Origin would be wasted.
This would be a loss not worth the gain.
For example, on the eleventh day after watering with Water of Origin, a type of Tier One Middle Grade demon insect called Bamboo-eating Worm appeared in the bamboo forest, constantly gnawing at the bamboo and disrupting the ecosystem of the Spirit Plants.
This demon insect was thumb-sized, gray-brown in color, with sharp, venomous teeth. Once it gnawed on Spirit Plants, it would inject poison, causing the Spirit Plants to die.
Once Spirit Plants are poisoned, they are not edible for other creatures, which can easily lead to poisoning and death.
On the other hand, the poisoned Spirit Plants become exclusive food for the Bamboo-eating Worms, to be slowly consumed later.
The method of injecting toxins into the Spirit Plants to stunt their growth and save them for feed caused She Qingqing to frown.
After discovering the presence of Bamboo-eating Worms, she immediately put aside what she was doing, stopped her alchemy, and called upon Li Weixiao and Li Shishi. Together, they searched and exterminated the entire Cyan Jade Bamboo Forest that very day.
She Qingqing used the Spirit-Seeking Technique to locate the Bamboo-eating Worms imbued with spiritual power, then collaborated with Li Weixiao and Li Shishi to employ the Golden Needle Technique, finally cleansing all sixteen Bamboo-eating Worms.
In the bamboo forest, two Cyan Jade Bamboos succumbed to the mouths of the Bamboo-eating Worms. Because the bamboo contained toxins, they were burned and destroyed.
"Thirty-nine Cyan Thunder Bamboos, that’s quite impressive."
Lu Ping nodded in satisfaction as he surveyed the successfully evolved Cyan Thunder Bamboos.
According to the Water of Origin given to She Qingqing, aside from cultivating Cyan Plum Trees and Spiritual Peach Trees, Lu Ping calculated that thirty-nine Cyan Thunder Bamboos could be cultivated, which exceeded his expectations.
She Qingqing had done very well this time.
If it had been left to Lu Ping or Lu Yuanshan to handle the cultivation, it was uncertain whether they could have cultivated even three Cyan Thunder Bamboos.
This sort of professional task is best left to professionals.
As he pondered this, She Qingqing reported another result.
Besides the cultivation of Cyan Jade Bamboo, as previously discussed with Lu Ping, they were also cultivating Cyan Plum Trees and Spiritual Peach Trees.
Under She Qingqing’s care, these two Spirit Plants also underwent changes.
First, regarding the Cyan Plum Tree, with the expansion of the Cyan Mountain Sect and abundant resources, large amounts of Spirit Stones were invested into the Sect’s Medicine Garden. Over these two years, through She Qingqing’s efforts, the number of Cyan Plum Trees grew to twenty-one.
These twenty-one Cyan Plum Trees were all at the level of Tier Two Middle Grade.
This time, under the cultivation of Water of Origin, eleven of these Cyan Plum Trees advanced successfully, reaching Tier Two High-Grade.
The remaining ten Cyan Plum Trees were not cultivated further by She Qingqing due to the limited Water of Origin.
Next, the Spiritual Peach Trees.
She Qingqing cultivated all twelve Spiritual Peach Trees, making them advance from Tier Two High-Grade to Tier Three Lower Grade.
The Spiritual Peaches borne by the Tier Three Lower Grade Spiritual Peach Trees are no longer confined to Qi Cultivators for cultivation enhancement.
If consumed by Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they could also boost some cultivation.
As medicinal material, refined into Tier Three Elixirs, they would benefit Crystallization Stage Cultivators.
Lu Ping was quite satisfied with the advancement results of the Cyan Plum and Spiritual Peach Trees.
These two Spirit Plants can soon be harvested for sect disciples’ cultivation.
Water of Origin’s effect on Cyan Plum and Spiritual Peach Trees was essentially a resource upgrade.
Knowing the optimization results of the three Spirit Plants, Lu Ping was most interested in those thirty-nine Cyan Thunder Bamboos.
These Cyan Thunder Bamboos, aside from being useful for refining Cyan Thunder Swords, contained Divine Thunder Power, which could suppress demon fiends and evil cultivators. Besides, Lu Ping knew of another use for the Cyan Thunder Bamboo.
That was to arrange the Cyan Thunder Sword Array!
So long as there are nine Cyan Thunder Swords, combined with certain sword array formations, a killing array could be arranged.
Although its power is not as impressive as the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, given Lu Ping’s current strength, it could pose a threat to cultivators freshly entering the Nascent Soul Stage.
Once unleashed, the Cyan Thunder Sword Array could traverse and dominate within the same realm.
Lu Ping himself is incredibly strong, and once he masters the Cyan Thunder Sword Array, he would be able to contend with First-Layer Nascent Soul cultivators, at least not suffering a complete defeat.
After notifying She Qingqing, Lu Ping decided to dig up nine Cyan Thunder Bamboos for constructing the Cyan Thunder Sword Array.
"Should we pick the Cyan Thunder Bamboos now, Ancestor? Please feel free to take them!"
She Qingqing proactively assisted Lu Ping in unearthing the Cyan Thunder Bamboos.
She began to evaluate which nine Cyan Thunder Bamboos could be harvested.
"Ancestor, wouldn’t nine be too few?"
Even though she didn’t know what Lu Ping planned to do with these Cyan Thunder Bamboos, She Qingqing could generally guess.
She didn’t ask much but inquired whether Lu Ping wanted to extract a few more.
"We can come back to extract more if it’s not enough."
Lu Ping responded.
Ultimately, Lu Ping obtained nine Cyan Thunder Bamboos, preparing to craft the Cyan Thunder Sword Array.
The crafting method for this Cyan Thunder Sword Array became known to Lu Ping after he reached the Golden Core Stage and attended a Trade Conference at Qingli Sea.
At that time, a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator named Qingyu Sword Immortal exchanged a Cyan Thunder Sword Array for Lu Ping’s Tier Five High-Grade Flying Sword Kuji Immortal Sword.
This Cyan Thunder Sword Array, on multiple occasions thereafter, turned the tide for Lu Ping, allowing him to overlevel and slay several opponents.
Finally, during a confrontation with one of the Three Saints of Qingli Sea, the Ice Saint, the Cyan Thunder Sword Array was damaged and the broken Cyan Thunder Swords fell into the vast sea, whereabouts unknown.
Cyan Thunder Sword Array thus became a lingering memory for Lu Ping.
He had repeatedly attempted to collect Cyan Thunder Swords and independently explored to recreate a Cyan Thunder Sword Array and rekindle its power.
Unfortunately, the Cyan Thunder Bamboo was extremely rare.
Not to mention nine Cyan Thunder Bamboos, Lu Ping couldn’t even find one.
In desperation, Lu Ping eventually visited Qingyu Sword Immortal, hoping to exchange for another Cyan Thunder Sword Array, but unfortunately, Qingyu Sword Immortal himself only had one.
This set of Cyan Thunder Sword Array accompanied him for more than a hundred years before it was exchanged with Lu Ping with great reluctance.
His Cyan Thunder Sword Array was said to be the only one in Lingxi State.
