Blood clouds drifted across the sky; a few breaths later, a Wang Family Cultivator in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, standing atop a Flying Leaf Boat Artifact, swiftly approached from a distance.
His Spiritual Sense swept around, but found no abnormalities.
The Wang Family Head did not hesitate and pursued in the direction the blood cloud disappeared.
Although he had a keen interest in the peculiar scabbard that flew out, the demon envoy of the trick level was far more important.
If it wasn’t dealt with, the new Secret Land could not be completely secured. Moreover, before that demon envoy fled, it took a Brilliant Treasure. This needed to be reclaimed along the way.
The Flying Boat Magical Tool darted away, disappearing into the horizon with a whooshing sound.
A moment later, Lu Xuan emerged from under a large tree several dozen meters away, his face still carrying a shocked expression.
When the blood cloud appeared, the Three Grade Pure Jade hanging on his chest transmitted a bone-chilling coldness, as if it was trying to freeze half of his chest.
Compared with the previous close encounter with the Strange Class Sin Bag, the chill was several times stronger.
Because of this, Lu Xuan concluded that the blood-colored skeleton in the blood cloud was much stronger than the Sin Bag and was definitely a Sneaky Level Demon Envoy, on a par with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
After unexpectedly obtaining the peculiar scabbard attracted by the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, he realized something was wrong the first time.
The speed of the scabbard was too fast, and his Spiritual Sense and cultivation at the Qi Refinement Eighth Level couldn’t react in time. Furthermore, it had actively located the position of the Sword Pill, which clearly indicated it was no ordinary treasure.
But such a high-rank treasure often brought many unnecessary troubles.
Therefore, after obtaining the scabbard, Lu Xuan quickly placed it in his storage bag. Subconsciously activating the Rank Three Concealed Spirit Wear, he became temporarily invisible, avoiding a direct encounter with the Trick Level Demon Envoy.
He took out a Yuan Cultivating Pill from his storage bag, quickly replenishing his nearly depleted spiritual power. After identifying the direction, he rushed towards the exterior of the Secret Land.
On the way, he raised his hidden cultivation to the Qi Cultivating Fifth Level, and took out a Two Grade Sword Grass to increase his persuasiveness, so that cultivators wouldn’t think of him as an easy target.
At this moment, in the surroundings of the Secret Land, cultivators and demon beasts had disappeared. Lu Xuan slowly walked through the woods, looking for traces of cultivators.
Suddenly, two sword lights swept across the sky and quickly returned, stopping in front of Lu Xuan.
Two individuals in standard robes, exuding extraordinary demeanors.
One male and one female, the woman was extraordinarily beautiful with a cold temperament, reminiscent of a solitary orchid in an empty valley. The male cultivator was average looking but his eyes were extraordinarily sharp, reminiscent of a sharp sword.
“Don’t mean to disturb, fellow Daoist, would you mind showing me the artifact in your hand?”
The cold woman asked, her voice, too, revealing a hint of coldness.
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense swept over them and instantly realized their cultivation was much higher than his. He kept his face calm and said indifferently:
“Given your demeanor, you seem to come from an Orthodox Sect. Isn’t it against the etiquette to casually demand other people’s possessions?”
“I was indeed abrupt.”
A hint of apology flashed in the woman’s eyes.
“It’s just that I was surprised to see the Sky Sword Sect’s exclusive spirit plant, the Sword Grass, in the hands of a fellow Daoist for the first time outside my Sect.”
“Therefore, I am curious.”
Lu Xuan’s face lightened up a bit and his tone became much gentler.
Since the woman in front of him knew about Sword Grass, it at least proved she wasn’t lying.
“This Sword Grass is something I cultivated myself, it definitely didn’t come from a cultivator of your esteemed Sect.”
Lu Xuan said sternly.
The cold woman understood the meaning of his words, laughed lightly, as if a beautiful orchid was blooming.
“I didn’t mean to doubt you, fellow Daoist. The Sword Grass in your hand does have a subtle difference from what is produced in our Sect. It’s easy to distinguish.”
She paused before continuing.
“Did any ancestors in your lineage become disciples in the Sky Sword Sect?”
“No.”
Lu Xuan shook his head.
“I’m a No-Organization Spirit Plant Master. I just happened to get my hands on a Sword Grass Spirit Seed by chance, and successfully cultivated it.”
“I see”.
The female cultivator gently nodded, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn’t expected that the sect’s inherited Spirit Plant would be cultivated by a Qi Cultivating No-Organization Spirit Plant Master.
“It seems that you have a strong talent for cultivating Spirit Plants.”
She paused, then continued.
“I wonder if you’d be interested in joining the Sky Sword Sect? If you are, I can recommend you.”
Lu Xuan looked hesitant. He did have some expectations about joining a sect. After all, a sect could provide him a safe environment with dense spiritual energy, access to high-grade spiritual plants and spirit seeds, all of which he needed desperately.
However, he found it hard to trust the two people who suddenly appeared before him.
Seeing Lu Xuan’s hesitation, the cold woman smiled.
“At the very least, for Sword Grass like you cultivated, there are many related variants in the Sky Sword Sect. My Rank Four Sword Peacock was cultivated from a variant of regular Sword Grass.”
Before she could finish her sentence, a blue flying sword, identical in shape to the Sword Grass, ascended from behind her. It spun quickly; amid the ringing of swords, it split into hundreds of substantial Sword Qi, like a peacock spreading its feathers. It was exuberant, beautiful and lethal.
Lu Xuan’s eyes lit up involuntarily.
This so-called Sword Peacock was extraordinarily cool…
Seeing Lu Xuan’s interest, the cold woman gave a knowing smile.
“If you enter our sect, you can try to cultivate a Sword Grass of the same rank or even better than the Sword Peacock.”
“The Sky Sword Sect will be recruiting new disciples in a few months. This is an Azure Cloud Order. Every inner sect disciple is allowed to give out one. With this order, you could skip some bureaucratic procedures when joining the Sky Sword Sect, and enjoy some benefits as well.”
A blue token flew out from the woman’s sleeve, floating in front of Lu Xuan.
There were light blue clouds on the token, with the tip of a sword piercing out of them, as if it wanted to break free from the token.
Seeing Lu Xuan take the azure token, the cold woman and the other person didn’t linger, summoning their flying swords, they disappeared from Lu Xuan’s sight in an instant.
“We hope to see you soon.”
Lu Xuan touched the Immaculate Jade on his chest with the azure token but didn’t get any abnormal sensation.
He examined at the token in his hand, feeling a sense of something taking shape in his heart.
Above in the sky, two sword lights dashed like lightning.
“Sister Su, why would you so easily give away the Azure Cloud Order in your hand?”
“And to a No-Organization Spirit Plant Master with average cultivation.” The cultivator with sharp eyes like a sword suddenly asked.
His companion, the cold woman, despite the small gap in their cultivations, had a much higher status than him.
Su Man Man was her name, an inner sect disciple of the Sky Sword Sect. Exceptionally gifted and unusual, she was the daughter of one of the elder in the sect. Hence she possessed a fourth-grade Sword Peacock protective spirit at her Qi Practicing stage.
“Elder Brother Zhang, you should know that cultivating Sword Grass is no easy task. It requires the Spirit Plant Master to master a profound sword technique without any errors during the cultivation process. Whether nourishing it with too much or too little Sword Qi can be detrimental to the growth of Sword Grass. Even within the sect, many Spirit Plant Masters cannot cultivate it successfully.”
What’s more, I’ve noticed that the Sword Grass cultivated by that No -Organization Spirit Plant Master is far superior in quality to the average standard, which is even more rare.”
“With such a formidable talent in swordsmanship and as a Spirit Plant Master, he is worth my Azure Cloud Order.”
“On this trip to the Secret Land, if we didn’t find any good treasures by chance, we might have found a promising talent. ”
“Isn’t the elder worried about the lack of successors for the Sword Peacock and Sword Crow? The No-Organization Spirit Plant Master might bring him a pleasant surprise!”
The cold woman gave a playful smile, a hint of mischief in her eyes..
