Chapter 276: Thousand Illusions Cloud Mist Array

With this in mind, Shen Ye looked at Lu Xuan with increasingly appreciative eyes.

The cultivation of Firefly Grass was on a different level of difficulty compared to other plants of the same rank; it required meeting two conditions.

Firstly, a swordsman who had profound attainments in a certain sword technique would use sword qi day and night to stimulate and nurture the Firefly Grass.

Swordsmen were not hard to find, but to find one who was proficient in swordsmanship and skilled in cultivating spiritual plants was extremely rare.

The failure rate in cultivating Firefly Grass was much higher than other plants. If the sword qi was too light or too little, the Firefly Grass would not grow normally. If the sword qi was too heavy or too much, it might damage the plant.

Moreover, the amount and weight of sword qi required for each stage of Firefly Grass varied. It was already good enough to successfully cultivate mature Firefly Grass; to obtain high-quality Firefly Grass required excellent luck.

As for improving the grade of Firefly Grass in one go, that could be considered as an extraordinary act.

"Before, Xia Chen mentioned Lu Junior Brother in the Agricultural Hall and learned that Junior Brother has extraordinary talent in the cultivation of spiritual plants."

"I didn't expect that his talent in swordsmanship is not inferior to other swordsmanship geniuses within the sect."

Shen Ye sighed.

"...?"

Lu Xuan fell silent for a moment. Am I considered a genius in swordsmanship now?

Well, I cultivate Firefly Grass, which brings swordsmanship experience packages and eliminates middlemen. In a sense, I can indeed be considered a genius in swordsmanship.

Lu Xuan thought shamelessly.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

"With the achievement of these ten Firefly Grasses, Junior Brother Lu can officially become a disciple of the Sword Hall. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

"I am more than willing." Lu Xuan hurriedly replied.

"Good, follow me to the Sword Hall then."

Seeing Lu Xuan nod in agreement, Shen Ye felt elated. A dark box flew out from behind him, enveloping the two in a rainbow light, and in an instant, they arrived at the peak of the Sword Hall mountain.

He personally guided Lu Xuan through the formal process of entering the Sword Hall.

"What Sword Hall disciples need to do is very simple: cultivate Firefly Grass of various grades to meet the needs of the sect."

"Continuously experiment, explore, and summarize the cultivation methods of Firefly Grass to obtain new varieties."

Shen Ye led Lu Xuan through the sword qi peaks, introducing him to the situation of the Sword Hall.

"Now that Junior Brother Lu has officially become a disciple of the Sword Hall, he naturally can enjoy related benefits."

Lu Xuan hurriedly expressed his gratitude. The Firefly Grasses cultivated with the Qi of the Four Seasons were demanding to use. He chose the red Firefly Grass cultivated with the Qi of the Red Flame Sword.

"Junior Brother, are you choosing the Firefly Grass seeds now, or are you going to choose them later?"

"For second-grade Firefly Grass seeds, you can choose twenty as initial cultivation. After maturity, you can refine the seeds to obtain more."

"For third-grade ones, Junior Brother can choose on your own. There are nearly twenty varieties of third-grade Firefly Grass seeds in total, but there are only eight varieties for fourth-grade ones."

"As for fifth-grade ones, you need to master the sword intent of the Foundation Establishment stage, and with your current cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment stage, you cannot cultivate them yet."

"Twenty varieties of third-grade seeds?"

"Yes, although there are many third-grade sword techniques within the sect or even in the cultivation world, only over twenty varieties have been experimentally proven to be able to cultivate Firefly Grass."

Shen Ye explained.

Lu Xuan suddenly understood more and became more aware of Shen Ye's astonishment when he saw the Wind Thunder Firefly Grass.

After learning about the detailed varieties of third-grade Firefly Grass seeds, he chose one that he was more satisfied with.

Among the eight varieties of fourth-grade Firefly Grass seeds, he saw the Sword Peacock that had left a deep impression on him near the Linyang Fang Market.

"I wonder what the background of the girl who gave me the Azure Token is."

He sighed inwardly. After entering the inner sect, he basically stayed on his own mountain peak and had little contact with other disciples, so he had never had the chance to see the cold girl who led him into the Sky Sword Sect.

He didn't know the girl's name, so he could only bury his gratitude deep in his heart.

From Shen Ye, he learned that the yield of fourth-grade Firefly Grass seeds was extremely low and had always been in short supply, so getting a fourth-grade Illusion Mist Formation seed was already considered very lucky.

"Junior Brother, please wait a moment, I will go fetch the Firefly Grass seeds you need."

After Lu Xuan confirmed, Shen Ye entered deep into the Sword Hall. After a while, he came back with many seeds and three green jade slips in front of him.

"Twenty second-grade Firefly Grass seeds, one third-grade Starlight Firefly Grass seed, one fourth-grade Illusion Mist Formation seed, as well as the method of refining second-grade Firefly Grass seeds and corresponding third and fourth-grade sword techniques, Junior Brother, please have a look."

"The method of refining and the sword techniques in the jade slips can only be absorbed once, so there must be no slightest disturbance during the absorption process, Junior Brother, please pay attention."

Shen Ye instructed solemnly as Lu Xuan observed the Firefly Grass seeds.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."

Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude with clasped hands.
