Chapter 268: Moisturizing

Chapter 268: Moisturizing

Lu Xuan's heart was focused, and the Purple Thunder Sword in his hand danced naturally.

With sword qi rampant, a faint drizzle appeared around him, misty and continuous.

Seemingly ordinary, but in reality, countless spring rain sword qi converged together. With just a thought from Lu Xuan, they could erupt into powerful lethality in an instant.

The Purple Thunder Sword, with its deep purple blade, carried the power of thunder and lightning. Amidst the continuous spring rain, occasional flashes of lightning gave it a natural and harmonious charm.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to retract the Purple Thunder Sword after briefly experiencing the enhancement of his sword technique with the spring rain sword intent, he caught sight of the Sword sheath hanging from his waist.

"I wonder what effect infusing the spring rain sword intent into the sheath of the Xuan Sword will bring..."

Lu Xuan had a sudden idea. Some strands of the fine spring rain sword qi fell and pierced through the cracks of the sheath.

"Is this enough?"

Lu Xuan seemed to sense the thoughts of the Sword sheath. The fine spring rain sword qi, as thin as a strand of hair, made the already transformed Sword sheath into the shape of the Purple Thunder Sword almost imperceptible.

After infusing enough spring rain sword intent, Lu Xuan's spiritual awareness probed into the interior of the sheath.

A moist breath lingered everywhere.

He chuckled, and the Purple Thunder Sword in his hand plunged fiercely into the sheath.

It went smoothly without any hindrance.

"Very moisturizing."

Lu Xuan commented simply.

Deep within the sheath, after being moistened by enough spring rain sword intent, the Purple Thunder Sword found itself in a muddy environment, making it difficult for the curved blade to extricate itself.

He intended to temporarily leave this second-grade sword grass he had harvested in the storage bag, waiting until the remaining sword grass had fully matured before submitting them all to the Sword Hall's Shen Ye.

In order to ensure the maximization of the light group rewards, he would only harvest each sword grass when fully matured.

As for other cultivators cultivating sword grass, they couldn't know the best time for harvesting. They could only rely on experience, spiritual awareness perception, and estimate the time when it entered the mature period, then harvest them all at once and submit them in bulk to the Sword Hall.

Lu Xuan estimated that it wouldn't take long for the remaining eight second-grade sword grasses to mature, so he wasn't in a hurry to harvest them.

"Oh right, I promised Bai Li Jianqing before to give him a sword grass. I wonder how he's been lately."

Lu Xuan thought to himself and decided to find an opportunity to visit his old friend.

He continued to patrol the spiritual field and arrived at the place where he planted the sword nurturing gourds.

Without any hesitation, he entered the inner hall amidst the curiosity and respect of the outer disciples.

Only inner disciples had the qualification to enter the inner hall.

Looking around, he approached a cultivator who looked ordinary in appearance, but had a reserved and steady demeanor.

He had some impression of this person. His name was Zhang Ce. When he had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was this person who received him when he entered the inner hall.

"Senior Brother Zhang."

"Junior Brother Lu? Long time no see."

The young man looked up at Lu Xuan, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but fortunately, he still had some impression and immediately remembered Lu Xuan, who had met him briefly a long time ago.

"Long time no see. Senior Brother's cultivation has become even more exquisite."

"Haha, Junior Brother overpraises. I wonder what brings Junior Brother to the Agricultural Hall this time?"

"I want to buy a few third-grade nurturing sword gourd spiritual seeds. In addition, I want to choose the refining methods for two second-grade spiritual plants, namely the Flame Fruit and the Ice Lotus Fruit."

"After advancing to an inner disciple, I have been holding onto this sect benefit, and only recently made a decision."

Lu Xuan smiled and said.

"Alright, please let me take a look at your identity token, Junior Brother. I need to confirm if you have the qualification."

The steady young man said gently.

Lu Xuan took out his identity token and handed it to the steady young cultivator.

Regarding the refining methods of spiritual seeds, the steady young man dared not be careless. After confirming several times, he returned the identity token to Lu Xuan and led him to the depths of the Agricultural Hall.

"Junior Brother Lu, inside these two jade slips are the refining methods for the spiritual seeds you requested. After absorption, the jade slips will turn into powder. Junior Brother must be careful when using them."

Zhang Ce reminded Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan nodded heavily, then spent two hundred and seventy Sword Commands to exchange for three nurturing sword gourd spiritual seeds from the young man.

The spiritual seeds of the gourd were light blue in color, elongated in shape, about an inch and a half long. At first glance, they looked like three miniature swords.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang."

After confirming that everything was correct, Lu Xuan thanked the steady young man with a cupped hand gesture, then left the Agricultural Hall.
