I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 361

Chapter 361: Chapter 359 Shen Yin foul gas_l

About half an hour later, Shen Ye hurriedly returned to the room where Lu Xuan was.

“Junior Brother Lu, I’m glad to report successfully, the Chief of the Sword Hall, upon hearing the news of your imminent successful modification of a new third-grade sword grass, did not hesitate to agree to hand over this Sword Peacock Seedling for you to cultivate.”

“I appreciate your hard work, Brother Shen.”

Lu Xuan stood to express his gratitude.

After handing in numerous sword grasses, a Sword Hall Disciple specially in charge of this task rewarded him with nearly a thousand sword marks.

When Shen Ye went to apply for the Sword Peacock Seedling, he also got twenty ordinary second-grade sword grasses.

Although the grade of the ordinary sword grass is not high, it has a strong compatibility and is suitable for the majority of sword Qi characteristics, making it useful for experimenting in the improvement of sword grass. Furthermore, he received three third-grade Starlight Sword Grasses.

At present, he didn’t have any extra time to cultivate new third-grade sword techniques, thus he chose to work with the Starlight Sword Grass spirit seed, which has significant achievements in the corresponding sword techniques.

“This is the Sword Peacock Seedling and the corresponding sword technique.” “The Sword Technique is called ‘Peacock Sword Array’, which involves the differentiation of sword Qi, the configuration of sword arrays and other complex concepts. It’s in-depth, but I believe you will understand it quickly.” Shen Ye was full of confidence in Lu Xuan.

Inwardly, Lu Xuan felt helpless. After cultivating numerous sword grasses and even improving a third-grade sword grass, the Sword Hall, led by Shen Ye, seemed to misunderstand him as a once-in-a-century sword Tao genius.

“I have no choice but to properly study this ‘Peacock Sword Array’.”

After receiving the numerous sword grass seedlings, Lu Xuan said goodbye to Shen Ye and returned to his cave dwelling.

Inside the house, he placed the Jade Slip containing ‘Peacock Sword Array’ against his forehead, stimulated it with Spiritual Power, and suddenly, a sea of information flooded into his consciousness, turning his entire mind into a vast ocean of knowledge, almost ready to explode.

The cultivation method of Sword Peacock was even more intricate than that of the Sword Thousand Owls.

It involved the grafting of ordinary sword grass, the differentiation of sword Qi, and the principles of sword arrays.

Having roughly understood it, Lu Xuan came to the Spirit Field and took out the Sword Peacock Seedling.

Its form was very strange, resembling a miniaturized peacock fan display. On the sprawling wings, there were hundreds of sword Qi feathers as thin as hair. The sword Qi keeps changing, combining into various profound and abstruse sword arrays.

With the application of the Earth Pulling Technique, he placed the Sword Peacock Seedling into the Spirit Soil.

Concentrating his mind on the seedling, a piece of information surfaced from his mind.

[Sword Peacock, a fourth-grade spirit plant. During the growth phase, needs differentiation of sword Qi for nurturing with the method of the sword array, after maturing, it can differentiate into numerous sword Qi, and form a variety of sword arrays.]

[Fanning is not just about beauty.)

“The cultivation method is indeed quite complicated, but once it is successfully cultivated, it would be a great aid.”

“The sword grass that contains the sword array, its power is self-explanatory.” Lu Xuan secretly sighed.

At present, he couldn’t cultivate it in the normal way, so he could only use the Master’s Realm of Rain Technique to infuse wisps of Spiritual Power into the seedling, just to barely maintain its vitality.

“Next, I really have to think about how to restore Su Senior Sister’s Sword Peacock.”

After Lu Xuan planted the seedling, he took out the severely damaged Sword Peacock of Su Man Man.

“Let’s try inserting it into the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath.”

He suddenly had a thought, wondering if the versatile Ancient Sword Sheath could remove the black spots and black gas on the sword body.

With a thought, the emerald green small sword slowly unsheathed from the scabbard.

It was clear that the scabbard and the emerald green small sword were a perfect fit. During the unsheathing process, the scabbard seemed to be dragged along, and continuously exuded the lush green aura containing the vibrant vitality. “Let’s try out the new grand sword!”

Lu Xuan violently pushed the Sword Peacock shrouded in dark energy through the Spirit Qi Membrane at the entrance of the scabbard, going straight to the deepest part of the scabbard.

“Hmm?”

Soon, he felt something was off.

The scabbard began to regain some of its spiritual nature after many high­grade flying swords had been inserted. Lu Xuan could roughly sense its thoughts.

Under his spiritual sense perception, once the Sword Peacock with its dark spots was inserted, the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath manifested a feeling of discomfort from head to toe.

With the passage of time, this feeling of discomfort became more and more intense. The scabbard, which had been repeatedly used by many flying swords, rarely demonstrated a sense of resistance.

Lu Xuan, acutely perceiving the mood of the ancient scabbard, quickly pulled out the damaged Sword Peacock.

With a puff.

A stream of miserable green spirit aura burst out with it.

The spiritual aura landed on the ground and sizzled upon contact with the rock. It quickly dyed a large chunk of the stone a miserable green color, mixed with a faintly fishy smell.

“It’s not sick, is it?”

There was a hint of worry in Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“Ah, it’s okay.”

He looked at the ancient scabbard, which continued to spew out miserable green spiritual aura, and spoke to comfort it.

Fortunately, after vomiting for a while, the scabbard finally returned to normal. However, it seemed to have developed some trauma against the insertion of the flying swords, resisting the Emerald Green Small Sword or Wind-Thunder Sword being inserted into it.

“Remember to take protective measures next time.”

Lu Xuan blandly commented, continuing to shift his gaze back to the damaged Sword Peacock.

“It seems that I can only remove these dark spots and dark energy before putting it in the scabbard for nurturing.”

He pondered for a moment and decided to try planting the damaged sword grass first to see if he could get a relevant information.

After all, the method of picking Sword Grass is somewhat different from other spirit plants – it’s pulled out from the Spirit Soil with all its roots. The entire plant is a natural sword instrument. Maybe if it is replanted, further detailed information can be obtained.

If that’s not the case, then he could start with the newly obtained Sword Peacock seedling.

As he was thinking, a crevice, slightly larger than the damaged Sword Peacock, appeared in the Spirit Soil.

After inserting the damaged Sword Peacock, Lu Xuan focused his spirit on the sword’s body.

Suddenly, his expression brightened as he caught a glimpse of the information flashing through his mind.

[Sword Peacock, a fourth-grade Spirit Plant, mature period, cultivated in a Sword Array by differentiating Sword Qi.]

[Sword body damaged and severely polluted by Shen Yin foul gas.]

[Shen Yin foul gas, made by Evil Dao Cultivators gathering the filth exuded by extradimensional Shen Yin insects. It has a strong contaminating ability that is extremely difficult to get rid of and can contaminate the spiritual strength and spiritual nature of most fourth-grade magical tools, rendering them useless and unusable.)

[Solution: High-grade jade treasures can gradually absorb and cleanse Shen Yin foul gas. The higher the grade, the faster the absorption and purification. Auxiliary cleaning charm methods and formulas will speed up this process.]

“So that’s where it came from.”

Lu Xuan digested the fleeting information in his mind and sighed in relief.

Although this Shen Yin foul gas can contaminate magical tools and is difficult to remove, once the details of its nature are understood, along with the treasures, methods and formulas to counter it, the problem becomes much easier to resolve.

As for jade treasures and Spirit Cleansing Talisman methods, he had and knew many, so there wouldn’t be a big issue.

Thinking this, a three-inch-long exquisite jade clasp flew out from his Gluttonous Insect Pouch. The entire piece was crystal clear and a cool aura emanated from it, giving a sense of peace and tranquility.”

It was a fourth-grade treasure, the Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet, that he had obtained from the light cluster of the Jade Scale Fruit.
