Chapter 220: Opening of the Blessed Land
The rewards brought by the two top-quality plants were quite satisfactory.
One plant rewarded three years of cultivation, equivalent to three ordinary Firefly Grass, while the other yielded a third-grade treasure.
【Harvested one second-grade Firefly Grass and obtained a third-grade treasure, Aqua Pearl.】
【Aqua Pearl, a third-grade treasure. When held in the mouth, one can move freely in deep water, and it also enables cultivators to practice normally in aquatic environments.】Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
"Although Aqua Pearl is relatively simple in function, it can be quite effective in certain specific situations," Lu Xuan remarked. As the opening time approached, he took stock of his own strength.
After advancing to the Foundation Establishment realm, both his cultivation techniques and treasures underwent a tremendous change compared to the Qi refining stage.
The spiritual power alone was more than ten times deeper.
In terms of offense, he possessed the third-grade Purple Thunder Sword and Yue Jade Seal. In his dantian, there was the third-grade Xun Lei Sword Pill frequently used in nurturing sword grass, leading to the rapid progress of the Four Seasons Sword Art. Additionally, there were third-grade talismans such as Roaring Sea Sword Talisman, as well as third-grade symbols like Water Dragon Symbol and Purification Symbol, putting him at the forefront in the early Foundation Establishment stage.
For defense, there were third-grade Golden Marrow Jade Liquid, Jade Scale Fruit, the techniques of Lustrous Bone Forging and Dragon Transformation, and the enhancement of constitution and physical body with Wood Wall Technique, among others. The Qi Nourishing Pill and Thunderfire Bead also played significant roles.
Apart from these, there were abilities such as Concealing Spirit Robe, Floating Body Technique, and Five Elements Escape Technique for temporary invisibility and enhanced mobility.
Looking at it this way, even though he hadn't explored any external mysteries or engaged in life-and-death battles with others, his wealth of treasures and techniques had reached an extremely abundant level.
Of course, within the sect, he had always presented himself as an ordinary spirit plant cultivator, keeping his true strength a secret.
"After entering the Blessed Land, I should try to obtain spiritual seeds, eggs of spiritual beasts, and similar opportunities. Avoid conflicts with others as much as possible unless they seriously harm my interests and have a high chance of winning."
"The Blessed Land is overseen by Senior Brother Jie Dan. If I encounter any difficult situations, well... I can seek his help immediately."
While in the market, Lu Xuan, with his rich experience in reporting, once again awakened relevant talents.
Time swiftly passed, and soon it was time for the Blessed Land to open.
Lu Xuan had already learned the way to enter the Blessed Land. Placing the Sword Command in front of him, he sat cross-legged with a calm and peaceful expression, quietly waiting.
Suddenly, the Sword Command emitted a dazzling light, accompanied by a strong attractive force.
Lu Xuan seized it, and his spiritual awareness entered it. Immediately, his entire figure disappeared from the room.
Above the high sky, countless stars circulated, occasionally, sword qi streaked across the sky like meteors.
"Alright, almost everyone is here."
"This time, I will open the Blessed Land. Another Foundation Establishment cultivator will maintain and oversee the Blessed Land."
"Among you, there may be some who have entered the Blessed Land more than once and are familiar with the rules, but I still want to reiterate."
"After entering the Blessed Land, you are responsible for clearing demonic beasts during the exploration process. Of course, any materials obtained from demonic beasts belong to you."
"The demonic beasts in the Blessed Land are rare species rarely seen in the cultivation world. Just the materials you obtain will make your trip worthwhile."
"Due to frequent cleaning, you should be able to handle it. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, you can seek assistance from the Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Another point that must be emphasized is that killing or seriously harming fellow disciples is prohibited in the Blessed Land. You can compete, but no deadly battles. If you are found killing or even harming fellow disciples, the punishment will range from a hundred years of confinement to soul extraction, never entering the cycle of reincarnation. Remember that?"
"Understood."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Very well."
"If you can adhere to these rules, you will receive good opportunities."
The middle-aged cultivator's intense coldness eased a bit, and a stiff smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
He spread out his hands, and immediately, the Sword Commands in everyone's hands flew out and
gathered together. The myriad stars rotated with mysterious trajectories, and in the void, a faint light gate appeared at some unknown time.
Inside the light gate, various strange scenes flashed by from time to time, as if it contained a magical world.
A hundred-zhang sword light condensed, like a lightning bolt, instantly piercing through hundreds of miles, fiercely stabbing into the faint light gate.
A slender crack appeared on the light gate, and the crack continued to spread, forming a giant opening.
"Go in."
Hearing the middle-aged cultivator's words, Lu Xuan, eager in his heart, controlled the Purple Thunder Sword, following behind other inner sect disciples, and entered the giant crack.
