Chapter 359: Chapter 357 Sword Hall Meets Old Friend l
With the remaining eight Wind-Thunder Sword Grass, he planned to deduce the Method of Seed Condensation for the third-grade Wind-Thunder Sword Grass by using the methods of seed condensation of second-grade ordinary Sword Grass.
At present, the Wind-Thunder Sword Grass all came from being nourished by the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, so it’s not possible to get a large amount of Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, and it’s also difficult to explain they were created to the high level of the Sword Hall.
But if he can infer the means of condensing seeds of the Wind-Thunder Sword Grass, it can resolve such problems.
Moreover, the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath was currently being used to nurture the Fourth Grade Wind Thunder Sword and the Mysterious Emerald Green Small Sword. As such, using it just to enhance the small Sword Grass Spirit Seeds seemed a little wasteful.
He carried the Sword Grass, called over a Spirit Crane, and went to the Sword Hall.
After becoming a Sword Hall Disciple, he knew the trick to traversing the Sword Array.
Lu Xuan passed safely through the numerous miniature Sword Qi that were like fishes swimming in the sky, and arrived in the Sword Hall.
Just as he was about to go looking for his acquaintance Shen Ye, suddenly a cold female cultivator passed by him.
Lu Xuan swept his gaze over, and spotted a peculiarly shaped Sword Grass.
The Sword Grass, from bottom to top, differentiated into hundreds of fanshaped Sword Qi. The Sword Qi was as tangible as reality, and like a Peacock Fan Display, was layered upon layers, openly announcing their intent and was beautiful while containing endless killing intent.
“A Sword Peacock?”
Lu Xuan was muttering in surprise, the scene of the secret land near Linyang Market came to his mind.
He looked up and his eyes involuntarily revealed a complicated look.
Seeing the cool female cultivator getting further and further away, he did not hesitate to catch up.
“Senior Sister, please wait.”
The female cultivator turned around upon hearing Lu Xuan’s voice, looking at him with puzzlement.
Her appearance was beautiful, bearing a cold aura, and like an orchid blooming quietly in a secluded valley.
She was the Sky Sword Sect female cultivator who once gave Lu Xuan an Azure Cloud Order in the secret land near the Linyang Market.
“Junior Brother, what can I do for you?”
The female cultivator’s voice was pure and cold, like ice-cold spring water.
“Senior Sister, do you no longer remember me?”
Lu Xuan asked with a smile.
The female cultivator tilted her head to think, but in the end, she shook her head.
“Sorry, I do not remember your face.”
Lu Xuan did not mind; after all, they had met more than ten years ago when he was still a Qi Cultivating Scatter Repair. It was only a brief, fleeting encounter, so it was natural that she would not remember him.
“More than ten years ago, in a secret land near a Loose Repair Market, I had a brief encounter with Senior Sister. At that time, Senior Sister thought I had some talent in cultivating Spiritual Plants, and she gave me an Azure Cloud Order, recommending that I join the Sky Sword Sect.”
Lu Xuan slowly stated.
“You… Junior Brother, you are the scatter repair cultivator who cultivated the Sword Grass all those years ago?”
The cool female cultivator’s mouth hung open slightly, a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
“Yes, I remember that Senior Sister was carrying a Sword Peacock then, just like the one she’s carrying now, right?”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“I didn’t expect you to truly enter the Sky Sword Sect, and even manage to become an Inner Sect Disciple in just over ten years!”
Looking at Lu Xuan’s attire as an Inner Sect disciple, the cool female cultivator was filled with feelings.
“I should thank Senior Sister for the Azure Cloud Order you gave me back then, which helped me enter the Sect more smoothly.”
Lu Xuan sincerely expressed his gratitude.
It was thanks to the Azure Cloud Order that the cool female cultivator had given him that he confirmed his decision to join the Sky Sword Sect, and was able to avoid many unnecessary procedures during the registration trial stage.
“Even without that Azure Cloud Order, with your talents, you would have been able to enter the Sect smoothly anyway.”
The female cultivator reminisced, slowly recalling her encounter with Lu Xuan.
At that time, she and a sword cultivator senior brother had been passing through Linyang Market when they heard that a trick-level demon envoy, equivalent to the power of a foundation establishment cultivator, had appeared. The pair of them, being skilled and fearless, had the idea to go and explore.
In the end, they didn’t find the demon envoy, but she did spot a loose cultivator youth holding a stalk of Sword Grass.
Coming from a distinguished background, she was able to discern from the form of the Sword Grass and the Sword Qi it contained that it had been nurtured in the outside world.
A loose cultivator who could nurture Sword Grass with its complex growth conditions, inferred her that Lu Xuan must have a unique talent in nurturing spiritual plants, especially Sword Grass.
As the daughter of a core formation elder of the Sky Sword Sect, she had the right to give the Azure Cloud Order even while she was still in the Qi Practicing Stage, so she casually left it for Lu Xuan in the Secret Land.
Unexpectedly, what was then a casual gesture became a significant act more than a decade later when she saw that same loose cultivator youth in the Sky Sword Sect at the Sword Hall.
“After I joined the sect and especially after becoming an inner sect disciple, I have always been looking out for information about senior sister, but sadly, there hasn’t been any progress.”
Lu Xuan spoke gently, he didn’t know the female cultivator’s name, but after he reached the foundation establishment stage, he did some covert searching to avoid arousing people’s curiosity.
“I went to the outside world to horn my skills with a few senior brothers and sisters after breaking through to the foundation establishment realm.”
“I see.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
During their conversation, he learned that the female cultivator was named Su Man Man and she was currently at the mid-term foundation establishment stage.
“Junior Brother Lu, you just mentioned that you are already an official disciple of Sword Hall and are able to independently cultivate third-grade sword grass.”
“I have a fourth grade Sword Peacock that I’ve used for many years; I’m extremely familiar with it and hold it dear.”
“Regrettably, I encountered a late-term foundation establishment evil cultivator a while ago. The Sword Peacock suffered damage and was contaminated by the qi of the demon envoy.”
“I’ve come here hoping to find a senior brother in the Sword Hall who can help me repair and restore my Sword Peacock. I wonder if Junior Brother Lu can do it?”
“If you can, could you do it for me?”
A playful glint flashed in the eyes of the aloof female cultivator.
“I think I can give it a try.”
Lu Xuan stated with confidence.
Having cultivated numerous Sword Grass before, he had gained rich experiences. Plus, the Sword Peacock was in essence a Spirit Plant. By understanding its detailed state, he could quickly find a solution.
Furthermore, there was the Mysterious Sword Sheath, a magical artifact, into which the damaged Sword Peacock could be inserted, nurturing it and restoring it to normal.
Of course, since Su Man Man’s Sword Peacock had matured long ago, to obtain information about the demon envoy’s Qi, some additional steps would be needed.
Most importantly, he wanted to seize this opportunity to repay the grace bestowed on him by the female cultivator back then.
“Very well, Junior Brother Lu, it seems this Sword Peacock will be in your charge.”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s assured demeanor Su Man Man, without any doubts, directly handed over her fourth grade Sword Peacock to Lu Xuan.
Before coming to the Sword Hall, she had learned from the familiar Sword Hall disciples that the wound on her Sword Peacock was severe. It was feared that it would be difficult to fully restore it to its normal state; at most it could only be restored to eighty or ninety percent. In addition, there was the risk of further damage if mishandled.
So, seeing Lu Xuan full of confidence made her feel much more at ease.
The ability to independently cultivate second-grade Sword Grass while in a stage of a qi practicing loose cultivator had already been the best proof.
She also had absolute confidence in her own judgment.
“Here is my communication talisman, if you successfully restore the Sword Peacock you can find me through this talisman.”
“When it’s a success, I will reward you handsomely. I won’t make you work for nothing.”
“And if it fails, I won’t blame you for it. You can rest assured about that.”
The two exchanged communication talismans, and the aloof female cultivator said to Lu Xuan.
“I will do everything in my power to restore your Sword Peacock, senior sister.”
Lu Xuan nodded earnestly.
