I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

The Communication Talisman had barely been sent out for a few breaths when a clear and melodious dragon chant sounded outside the cave abode.

Lu Xuan's divine sense swept over the area and saw a silver-white Flood Dragon silhouette swiftly flying towards him with Jian Huanzhen.

"Junior Brother Lu, have you truly succeeded in improving a new Sixth Grade Sword Grass?"

The True Sword Master was still outside, his eager voice piercing through the protective formation and reaching Lu Xuan's ears.

"Senior Brother, there's no need to be so anxious."

Lu Xuan, calm and composed, went to the entrance and welcomed Jian Huanzhen into the cave abode.

"Haha, let Brother see your new Spiritual Seed!"

Jian Huanzhen laughed heartily, his laughter causing the distant sea of Sword Qi clouds to churn ceaselessly.

Lu Xuan laughed as he handed over a White Bone Killing Sword Grass Spirit Seed to Jian Huanzhen.

Jian Huanzhen was not well versed in Spirit Plants, but at the very least, he could discern the level of vitality within the seed.

"Indeed, it's a Sixth Grade Spirit Seed, and looking at it, seems to have some connection with the Sect's Class 5 White Bone Killing Sword Grass."

He examined the Spirit Seed in his hands over and over again, and after a long time, he reluctantly handed it back to Lu Xuan.

"Senior Brother's discernment is accurate; it is indeed refined from the Bone Slaying Sword Grass."

"Haha, I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Junior Brother Lu."

Jian Huanzhen had been in the Nascent Soul Realm for hundreds of years, with an extremely firm resolve, and it was rare for him to feel such heartfelt joy.

After Lu Xuan's advancement to the Nascent Soul, participating in multiple events in the new round of Sword Peak competitions didn't seem quite proper.

He had prepared himself for the possibility of Huanzhen Sword Peak's rankings falling, but unexpectedly, just like the light at the end of a dark tunnel, Lu Xuan had actually improved a new Sixth Grade Sword Grass.

When the Thunder Abyss Sword Grass was initially improved to Class 5, it had already caused quite a stir within the Sword Sect, let alone a higher-ranked Sixth Grade Sword Grass!

"We're set this time!"

In the upcoming new round of the competition, the usual contributions of the other eight Sword Peaks certainly couldn't compare to Huanzhen Sword Peak. Even if the scores were lowered during the competition process, the final ranking would not drop and might even move up a notch.

"Junior Brother, this surprise you gave me is really too big!"

Jian Huanzhen couldn't help but feel moved.

Initially, when he went to the Cloud Void Domain's Liyang Taoist Sect to attend the All Spirit Conference, he had discovered Lu Xuan by chance. Seeing Lu Xuan's unusual mastery over Spirit Plants and his myriad connections with the Sword Sect, he had brought him back to the Sword Sect and had gone to great lengths to invite him into Huanzhen Sword Peak.

Who would have thought that this single action would have such a profound impact on Huanzhen Sword Peak?

It could be said that Lu Xuan, relying on his Spirit Plant mastery, changed the status of Huanzhen Sword Peak with his own strength, bringing countless benefits to the peak.

"I originally thought about running around for Junior Brother to obtain that Eighth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed."

"But now that Junior Brother has improved a new Sixth Grade Sword Grass, there's no need to go to such lengths. The other disciples stand no chance against you, no need for any extra stratagems."

The True Sword Master said with a smile.

"Haha, Senior Brother's words are most fitting."

Lu Xuan laughed in agreement.

"But first, it needs to be submitted to the Sect for examination by the elders of the Sword Palace."

He reached out to Li Xuanchen and Gu Yun, who were more familiar with the Spiritual Plant Hall of the Sword Palace.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a series of sword cries resounded outside the cave abode.

Li Xuanchen and Gu Yun arrived together.

"Junior Brother Lu! Junior Brother Lu!"

Li Xuanchen called out eagerly from outside.

"Greetings to the two Senior Brothers."

Lu Xuan welcomed both of them into the cave abode.

"True Sword Master, you're here too."

Li Xuanchen and another entered the cave abode and were just about to inquire about the situation of the Sixth Grade Sword Grass when they saw the Huan Zhen Sword Master standing by. They hastened to pay their respects.

"Hmm."

Jian Huanzhen put on an air of modesty and nodded slightly.

"Junior Brother Lu, you mentioned in the communication talisman that you improved the Sword Grass to Sixth Grade, is that true?"

Li Xuanchen couldn't restrain the excitement and curiosity in his heart and blurted out his question.

Gu Yun beside him also looked on with anticipation.

"Of course, I wouldn't dare deceive you two senior brothers."

Lu Xuan laughed softly.

"Please, junior brother, take out the Sword Grass Spirit Seed so I can have a good look."

Gu Yun stepped forward and said.

Lu Xuan nodded and handed one to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun reached out to take the fiercely murderous, pale white Spirit Seed, trembling for a moment upon touching it, whether from the bone-chilling murderous aura or from the uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

The Strange Eyes on his forehead opened wide as streaks of pale green spiritual light fell upon the Life-taking Prison Suppressing Sword Grass Spirit Seed.

"Junior Brother Gu, what do you make of it?"

After a long while, Li Xuanchen couldn't help but speak up and ask.

"It's true, judging by the vitality and the Sword Intent of the Spirit Seed, it is indeed a new Sixth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed."

"And, it can be determined that it has been improved from the White Bone Killing Sword Grass, but the killing aura within it is much stronger than that of the Fifth Rank White Bone Killing Sword Grass Spirit Seed."

Gu Yun took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

"Junior Brother Lu, your efficiency in improving Spirit Plants is truly terrifying!"

He still remembered the time when he handed over the White Bone Killing Sword Grass Spirit Seed to Lu Xuan, never expecting that in just over twenty years, the latter would truly improve it into a new kind of Sixth Grade Sword Grass!

"I had already started preparing a long time ago and with my little bit of talent in Spirit Plants, combined with the most important factor, luck, I was fortunate enough to successfully improve it."

Lu Xuan improvised nonchalantly.

It was indeed very fortunate to improve the Sixth Grade Life-taking Prison Suppressing Sword Grass this time, since Sword Tombs like those perfectly suited to the White Bone Killing Sword Grass were exceedingly rare. The difficulty would likely increase substantially if he were to try improving other Fifth Grade Sword Grasses.

"Once the Thunder Qi Spiritual Land in my personal spatial area matures, perhaps I could consider improving the Thunder Sound Sword Grass and Thunder Abyss Sword Grass."

He thought to himself.

"By the way, senior brothers, this is the Method of Seed Condensation I researched during the improvement process, which has changed quite a bit from the original White Bone Killing Sword Grass."

"If you're careful and cautious, the success rate for condensing the new Sixth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed should be quite high."

Lu Xuan took out a pure white Jade Slip from his storage bag and handed it to Li Xuanchen.

Between the two, Gu Yun was the most skilled at identifying Spirit Seeds, while Li Xuanchen had rich experience in cultivating Spirit Plants.

"It matches the attributes of this Spirit Seed and the approach is sound, almost as if it's tailor-made, so it should be able to successfully condense."

With this Method of Seed Condensation, he could prove that he truly improved a new Sixth Grade Sword Grass.

"When Junior Brother Lu first improved the Fifth Rank Thunder Abyss Sword Grass, it brought the total number of Fifth Rank Sword Grass varieties within the sect up to fourteen."

"Now, with the improved new Sixth Grade Sword Grass, it brings a new chapter to the sect's Sixth Grade Sword Grasses totalling seven."

Li Xuanchen couldn't help but reflect.

Although the Sword Sect was one of the top Sword Taoism Sects in the Whole Sky Realm, the sect didn't have many High Rank Sword Grass varieties that could be cultivated en masse, especially after the Fifth Rank, where the numbers drastically reduced.

Including the Thunder Abyss Sword Grass, there would be fourteen varieties of Fifth Rank Sword Grass, and only six of Sixth Grade Sword Grass, but with Lu Xuan's efforts, they could add this new Life-taking Prison Suppressing Sword Grass.

"Such a colossal achievement is indeed worthy of being inscribed in the history of the Sword Sect!"

Thinking this, Li Xuanchen couldn't contain himself and, gripping Lu Xuan's shoulders excitedly, he spoke.
