I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 421
Chapter 421: Chapter 419: Give an inch and take a mile_1
“The Fourth Grade Thunder Sound Sword can stimulate sword qi thunder sound, which has a strong restraining effect on Demon Envoys and Evil Cultivators,”
Lu Xuan muttered to himself in his heart while looking at the silver-white short sword in his hand.
In his eyes, this Thunder Sound Sword was much stronger than the Fish Dragon Sword he encountered earlier. It naturally carried the special sword qi thunder sound, which has a miraculous effect when facing Evil Cultivators and Demon Envoys.
More importantly, according to Lu Xuan’s speculation, this Fourth Grade Thunder Sound Sword harboring Buddhist Power might be able to cultivate the Diamond Bodhi Spirit Plant.
The Diamond Bodhi is currently placed in that Incomplete Secret Realm. Since only the Soul Guidance Zen Incense can slightly promote the growth of the Spirit Plant, the Bodhi Spirit Seeds have not shown much change.
Now, with this Fourth Grade Thunder Sound Sword, the Spirit Seeds might sprout and grow roots.
Also, the Sword Qi Thunder Sound released by the flying sword is quite beneficial for the Fourth Grade Illusion Sound Bamboo.
The Thunder Sound Sword has decent quality and characteristics. Plus, considering the factor of the Diamond Bodhi, Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate much and decided to choose this Thunder Sound Sword as the first sword artifact in the Sword Pool.
“It’s better to make a decision earlier, so as to avoid hesitating later, or even end up picking sesame seeds but losing watermelons.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
He thrust the silver-white short sword fiercely into the Ancient Sword Sheath.
“It’s too short, too short, another impotent short sword.”
The Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath transmitted a faint thought, with a subtle tone of sarcasm in it.
Lu Xuan’s palm turned into a translucent jade color, and he forcefully stabbed the Silver White Short Sword deep into the scabbard.
“Didn’t you eat? Can you shove it harder from behind the sword artifact?”
The Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, which had been fed by many sword artifacts like the Purple Lightning Sword and Wind-Thunder Sword, was not satisfied with the shortness of the new sword artifact.
“?”
A question mark flashed across Lu Xuan’s mind.
He was asking me to shove it harder from behind the flying sword, what kind of sheepish behavior…
He poured his spiritual power into the Thunder Sound Sword. Immediately, there were low and muffled thunders in the Ancient Sword Sheath, causing it to constantly tremble and emit sword qi all around.
The Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, being constantly bombarded by waves of Sword Qi Thunder Sound, finally calmed down.
“It’s already great to get this few-inch-long flying sword. If you want a few-foot-long flying sword, forget it.”
“Don’t be greedy.”
Lu Xuan sent a thought to the Ancient Sword Sheath, let the Silver White Short Sword stay in the scabbard, and allow the special atmosphere in the scabbard to nurture and refine the flying sword.
After taming the Thunder Sound Sword, Lu Xuan continued to traverse through the flying sword qi in the sky.
A moment later, he arrived at an Odd Stone Mountain.
The mountain was covered with strange rocks. The surface of the rocks was covered with numerous sword marks of varying depths. The sword wind howled through the cracks and orifices in the rocks, producing a piercing sound.
“Elder Brother Shi Hao?”
Lu Xuan saw a familiar figure ahead, it was one of the Sword Hall Disciples who entered the Sword Pool together. Shen Ye had specifically introduced him in the hall, saying that he mastered several kinds of sword intents and had deep sword skills.
“Junior Brother Lu, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
Shi Hao was searching for sword qi phantoms in the infinite sword qi. Hearing Lu Xuan’s greeting, he turned around, a smile appeared on his face.
“That could be considered fate.”
Lu Xuan replied, the Sword Pool was vast and the countless sword qi that wreaked havoc made it difficult to move. There were only ten Sword Hall Disciples who entered the Sword Pool, so the chances of meeting were indeed slim.
“Junior Brother Lu, have you tamed any sword artifacts?”
Shi Hao curiously asked.
“I’m quite fortunate. I managed to get one, which is pretty decent, and I’m rather satisfied,” Lu Xuan briefly said, well aware of the wisdom in not disclosing one’s wealth, he didn’t reveal the Thunder Sound Sword.
Even though everyone in the Sword Pool was from the same sect, and there were Golden-Core Real People overseeing the Sword Pool, ensuring its safety, Lu Xuan didn’t intend to put himself up for testing with his fellow disciples and his Golden Pellet Elder Uncle’s abilities.
“Me too. I got a third-grade sword implement at the very least. I was thinking about trying to find a better Flying Sword.”
Shi Hao spoke with a smile.
As Lu Xuan was about to bid him farewell, suddenly, in front of Shi Hao, from within an odd rock that was several feet high, a black snake sword qi illusion bolted out, aimed to escape towards the mountaintop.
The black snake was about half a zhang long, pitch black, had a pair of wings, and moved extremely swiftly, disappearing from their sight in just a moment.
“As quick as lightning, it must be a fourth-grade Flying Sword known for speed.”
Shi Hao blurted out.
He turned his head towards Lu Xuan, a glint in his eyes.
“Junior Brother Lu, this Black snake sword artifact is so quick, and its spiritual nature seems unusual, I estimate it to be a decent fourth-grade Flying Sword.”
“Since the two of us discovered it simultaneously, why don’t we pit our abilities against one another to see who has the slightly superior swordsmanship and tame this Flying Sword?”
His mind quickly turned, and he thought of an idea.
Lu Xuan could enter the Sword Pool, but it didn’t necessarily mean that his swordsmanship was outstanding. He had attained the privilege to enter the pool merely because of his knack for cultivating Sword Grass.
Shi Hao was extremely confident in his own Sword Dao, believing that even if Lu Xuan started vying for the black snake sword artifact, he still had a great chance at winning.
“No need, Brother Shi, I know my own abilities. I don’t have much confidence in taming that Flying Sword. You should subdue it yourself, Brother. I’ll excuse myself first.”
Lu Xuan clasped his fist and said.
“This… This favor, I’ll keep in mind.”
Shi Hao was momentarily stunned, he then bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Lu Xuan gave a faint smile and began to descend the mountain.
That black snake illusion just now had a not-so-weak aura, but it was far from what Lu Xuan expected, even compared to the Fish Dragon Sword he had encountered earlier, it was slightly inferior, let alone compared to the Thunder Sound Sword he already possessed.
The reaction of the scabbard was the best proof of this.
Instead, he might as well do a favor, save some time and search for better sword implements.
A little while later, Lu Xuan could see from afar a nebula hanging low in front, with stars inside it flickering uncertainly, and streaks of Sword Qi glinting with light.
“This one, this one, I want this one.”
At this point, the Nurturing Xuan scabbard that was experiencing the new sword artifact passed along a thought to Lu Xuan.
“The Thunder Sound Sword is still in your body, and you want a new one so soon, you fickle scabbard.”
Lu Xuan spat out a disparaging comment at the ancient sword sheath, the Qing Fu Lu Ling Light emerged under his feet and his body moved like wisps of smoke, silently approaching the Nebula Phantom.
Anything the sword could identify was naturally a high-quality item.
“Oh, who asked for my sword scabbard to be impaired. I have to find some good companions for it, and let it return to normal as soon as possible.”
Lu Xuan feigned a sigh.
Upon reaching the base of the nebula, he was about to seize the initiative when suddenly his mind was hazed, as if he was in a vast starry sky, with numerous stars adorned and meteor-like Sword Qi passing by from time to time, circling around Lu Xuan who has the Sword Fruit.
“As expected of the sword implement that I’m interested in, it’s truly extraordinary.”
Lu Xuan exclaimed, and with a thought, the Fifth Rank treasure Divine Essence Scroll in the depths of his sea of consciousness emitted a hazy spiritual light, the star-sky scene in his mind dissolved at high speed and vanished in smoke.
Lu Xuan opened his eyes, and numerous dark sword qi appeared around the Wind-Thunder Sword in his hand, resembling a hurricane, containing flashes of electricity and thunder, quickly rolling towards the nebula.
