Chapter 282: Weak and Helpless

Scripture Pavilion.

Lu Xuan slowly walked out from inside.

After choosing the specific location for his guard duty, he came to the Scripture Pavilion to gather as much information as possible.

The island where he would be stationed for three years was called Empty Abyss Island. The island was rich in a type of fish called the Empty Abyss Spirit Fish, mainly of second-grade quality, with occasional appearances of third-grade level fish. The meat of these fish was extremely delicious and contained rich spiritual energy. The fish gallbladder was a major material for many elixirs, so it was occupied by the Sky Sword Sect, and the produced Empty Abyss Spirit Fish was stably supplied to the sect.

Empty Abyss Island was not less than ten thousand miles away from the Sky Sword Sect, and its location was extremely remote, worthy of being called the "Land of Bitter Cold" for middle-aged cultivators.

There were several small sects on the surrounding islands, with the highest cultivation level being Foundation Establishment Realm. In addition, there were some small families and quite a few loose cultivators.

The spiritual energy on the island was relatively thin compared to other guard locations, coupled with the lack of secret realms to explore nearby, and no large number of demonic beasts or evil cultivators to hone one's skills, so it had always been the last choice.

The island was close to the Boundless Sea and produced some strange and rare spiritual plants and beasts. In addition, it was recorded that some fellow disciples had discovered several third and fourth-grade spiritual fluids around the islands, making it the most suitable for Lu Xuan.

After understanding the detailed information about Empty Abyss Island, Lu Xuan returned to his cave dwelling and began some preparations.

He carefully counted his current strength.

His cultivation was close to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, which was considered above average in the Sky Sword Sect, but once outside the sect, he could be considered a master-level figure.

Before, in Linyang Fang Market, there were so few Foundation Establishment cultivators among the loose cultivators, and they were all types of exhausted potential cultivators.

Although his cultivation level was unremarkable, his actual combat power was quite considerable.

Among them, the strongest were undoubtedly the four and a half fourth-grade Sword Seals, one and a half Howling Sea Sword Talismans, two Grand Sun Sword Talismans, and one Starfall Sword Talisman, each with its own characteristics and all possessing the power to severely injure or even kill mid to late Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In addition, after continuously cultivating the Four Seasons Sword Art with day and night Sword Qi and gaining sword art experience packs from the luminous orbs, he had reached the pinnacle of mastery in the Four Seasons Sword Art, comprehending the sword intent of all four sword arts.

Furthermore, in his dantian were the Xun-Lei Sword Pills, which could burst out powerful attacks instantly, over ten Thunder Fire Beads that could ignite blood essence and greatly enhance his strength, the Incineration Pills, and the mid-grade elemental techniques.

There were also three Purple Lightning Swords, the Soul Lamp, the Heartbound Demon, the Blood Orb spiritual species, the Wood Infant, the Cloud Mountain Jade Scripture, the Ice Dragon Spear, the Drunken Immortal Gourd, the Tongxin Devils, the Restoration Essence Pill, the Water Mirror Talisman, the Crimson Lotus Flame, the Spirit Soil, the Aqua Pearl, the Yue Jade Seal, the Red Jade, the Hundred-Fruit Spirit Nectar, the Sword Embryo, the Yin Soul Pearl, the Foundation Establishment Pills, the Evil Infant, the Dragon Blood Essence, the Illusion Mist Formation, the Crimson Flame Sword, the Golden Marrow Jade Liquid, the Crab Essence Ointment, the Resentful Soul Bell, the Sword Gourd, the Imitation Dragon-Binding Ring, the Cleansing Talisman, the Dust-Reducing Pill, the Thunder Sword Pill, the Life-Sustaining Bag, the Green Cloud Token, the Profound Sword Sheath, the Crimson Scale Armor, the Concealing Spirit Robe, the Beast Spirit Pill, the Jade of Purity, the Red Thread Needle, the Spirit Tea, the Qi Nourishing Pill, the Thunderfire Bead, the Myriad Sword Qi Talisman, the Spirit Wine, the array disk, the Storage bag, the Flying sword, the Jade Talisman, the Primordial Nourishing Pill, the Explosive Flame Talisman, the Fractured Silver Blade, the Purification Talisman, the Expelling Evil Talisman, the Defensive Earth Armor Talisman, the Swift Speed Talisman, the Sword Qi Talisman, the Formation Plate, and the Straw puppet.

in the sect to mature naturally or handing them over to other fellow disciples for picking was not appropriate, so Lu Xuan decided to take some of them with him.

"The Firefly Grass seeds must be taken with me. Although the breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment is only a step away, if I don't have them, it will be a thousand miles away."

Lu Xuan was quite self-aware. In the pure and dense spiritual energy environment of the Sky Sword Sect, his cultivation progress was so slow. If he stayed on the harsher Empty Abyss Island, he might stagnate for three years.

"The Wind and Thunder Sword Grass of third-grade, the Moonlit Grass, the fourth-grade Profound Insect Vine, and the Earth Fire Heart Lotus, it won't be long before they mature. I also need to carry them with me, so as not to miss out on the rewards from the luminous orbs."

Lu Xuan thought silently. After inspecting the spiritual field, he finally decided to take the Demon Ghost Vine, the Starlight Sword Grass, and the Thousand Illusions Seed with him.

The Demon Ghost Vine itself was of fifth-grade quality. Although it was still in the growth stage, it already had a certain combat power. If left on the mountain peak, he was worried that he would lose control and let it eat all the spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

As for the two high-grade sword grasses, due to their special cultivation conditions, they needed corresponding Sword Qi to nourish and stimulate them day and night, so it was better to keep them by his side.

By cultivating them as soon as possible, he could also obtain more cultivation resources from the Sword Hall.

He hesitated a bit about the third-grade Enchanting Spirit Peaches, but in the end, he left them on the mountain and used formations to conceal them.

Although the Enchanting Spirit Peaches had entered the mature stage, they were still a long way from complete maturity, and because of their large size, the space in the life pouch was limited, so they could only be left on the mountain peak.

Among the remaining spiritual plants, the Phoenix Wood was still unknown how many years it would take to mature. He left behind two Crimson Flame Swords, which should be enough for its growth for some time.

In addition, the Bloodthorn Flower, the Five-Element Fruit, the Illusion Sound Bamboo, the newly planted Sword-Nurturing Gourd, etc., were all in the early stages of growth. With the spiritual energy of the spiritual field ensuring their basic growth, Lu Xuan left them in the cave dwelling.

As for the spiritual beasts, he brought the Cloud-Stepping Lynx and the Wind Falcon with him. The Dragon was too young, so he left it on the mountain peak, leaving enough dried demon beast meat for it and letting the Grass Puppet take care of it.

The small lake was rich in spiritual energy. In case the demon beast meat was eaten up, he could also use the spiritual spring to ensure normal growth.

"By the way, I'll go to the Sword Gate Town courtyard before I leave."

He decided that before leaving, he would go to the courtyard in Sword Gate Town to see how those underworld spiritual plants were growing, whether they had matured, and which ones should be taken with him.
