Chapter 380: Chapter 378 Sword Wu Xia_1
“That’s a relief, or else I’d feel guilty.”
Lu Xuan said with a laugh.
“I am Lu Xuan, may I ask for your name, Brother?”
“Li Zhen, Junior Brother Lu can simply address me as Brother Li.”
The young man with a gentle demeanor clasped his hands and changed the subject.
“1 have long heard of Junior Brother Lu’s name. Among our peers, your achievements in the path of spiritual plants far surpass others. We need your talent for this journey into the Blessed Land.”
“Brother Li flatters me. I am just a logistics person, providing insignificant support for the uncles and brothers and sisters who charge into the battle.” After a few words of modesty, Lu Xuan learned from their conversation that the aloof young woman was named Sword Wu Xia, one of the seventeen authentic teachings of the Sky Sword Sect, who had Innate Sword Body, and her talent in the Sword Dao was terrifyingly superior.
With the introduction of the gentle young man, he briefly got to know the
other two people.
After waiting for awhile, a charming woman who was in the middle-term of
Foundation Establishment came over.
“Everyone is here, prepare to set off. The Blessed Land is located in the void, the journey is long and arduous, brothers, and sisters please restrain your spiritual power and mind, I’ll take you to the Blessed Land through the Teleportation Array and the assistance of Master’s magic treasure.” As soon as Sword Wu Xia saw everyone had arrived, she gave a brief instruction, flicked her finger, and several light swords shot into the ground. Subsequently, countless spirit patterns lit up, and a large formation enveloped Lu Xuan and the others.
Dozens of shining spirit stones spread out and integrated into the formation.
“Looking at the size of these spirit stones and the concentration of spiritual power, they should be rare middle-grade spirit stones, and it takes dozens of them to activate this teleportation array…”
Lu Xuan muttered to himself, admiring the Sect’s big budget.
He held his breath, retracted his spiritual power and mind, and let the spiritual power pillar take him up to the sky.
Upon entering the void, Sword Wu Xia took out a hollow wooden sword wrapped in the illusion of a True Dragon and Celestial Phoenix. With her spiritual sense connected, the illusion drastically enlarged thousands of times, seemingly becoming a reality, and taking Lu Xuan and the others into a dark space.
In the chaos, he didn’t know how long it had taken.
“We’ve arrived.”
A clear voice rang in Lu Xuan’s ear, followed by a stable sensation under his
feet as he opened his eyes.
The sight in front of him was a bizarre and vast world. The soil under his feet was dark red, like piles of dried blood and flesh. The air was filled with a strange scent, a mix of meat fragrance and stench, making one feel uncomfortable.
At a look, the surroundings were desolate, with some scattered strange spiritual plants.
“The establishment of this new Blessed Land is a long-term process that involved the collaborative efforts of three sects. In addition to our Sky Sword Sect, the other two sects are Ten Thousand Beast Gate and Lingxiao Sect, whose strengths are approximately similar to our sect.”
“Because opening a new Blessed Land might encounter many formation restrictions, or demon beasts and demonic envoys, coupled with strange spiritual plants in the Blessed Land, the three sects have established a camp at the back as a support and resting area.”
Aside from Lu Xuan, the other four were not entering this Blessed Land for the first time, so they adapted more quickly. The five of them each rode on sword light, flying rapidly at a low altitude.
After flying for more than a hundred miles, they stopped before a camp. “Rest for half a day. Junior Brother Lu stays inside the camp, the rest follows me to the frontline.”
Sword Wu Xia, the cold female cultivator, instructed and then entered a simple rock room.
Within the camp, members from the three sects were distinctly separated. Lu Xuan used his spiritual sense to scan and found varying numbers of cultivators in the other two places.
“Junior Brother Lu, you’re going to stay here in the long term, you can start getting used to it.”
“Those strange spiritual plants are numerous and are of high ranks, they might contain substantial value. Although you are not capable of fighting alongside us, if you could understand and explore the uniqueness and usage of the spiritual plants, one of you would be worth many of us.”
Li Zhen briefly introduced the layout of the camp to Lu Xuan, and then left. Lu Xuan returned to his room, released the Cloud Leopard and Demonic Vine from the Spirit Beast Plaque.
“See if there’s any trace of Evil Spite Qi nearby.”
The Cloud Leopard looked at Lu Xuan with its emerald eyes, circled the wall, its eyes seemingly penetrating the wall to scout the distance.
“Roar…”
It gave a low growl with a hint of implication, the tufts of hair on the tip of its ears drooping, lazily laying on the ground.
Lu Xuan finally relaxed, but as he was about to start meditating to cultivate, he suddenly noticed the ground was covered in gray sticky liquid everywhere. Following the sticky liquid, he saw the Demonic Vine moving freely on the ground, secreting grey sticky liquid from its tendrils as if it had smelled something delectable.
“The Demonic Vine feeds on Spiritual Seeds and Spiritual Plants, and also eats Demon Beast Meat. These mutated spiritual plants under the influence of an unknown flesh power exactly fit its taste.”
Lu Xuan speculated, his Spiritual Sense communicating with the Demonic Vine, asking it to tone down its scent.
Next, he mentally commanded, and a grey-white eye jumped out of the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, silently diving into the void.
It was the fifth rank Vast Void Eye that developed from the light cluster after the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree had matured.
After refining it for such a long time, Lu Xuan’s control over it had become increasingly proficient, he could monitor a certain range around him through the field of vision of the Vast Void Eye.
A slender crack appeared in the palm of his left hand, a small eye crawled out from inside, and the scenery seen by the Vast Void Eye outside was clearly displayed.
Once the Cloud Leopard and the Vast Void Eye confirmed there was no anomaly in the surroundings, Lu Xuan finally let his guard down completely. As he didn’t need to carefully cultivate the spiritual plants, he simply sat cross-legged on the bed and started practicing his Cultivation Technique.
“It feels like I’m cultivating, but also like I’m not…”
Lu Xuan opened his eyes, couldn’t help but self-deprecate.
Half a day had passed, but there was no change in the spiritual power within his body, which gave him a more clear understanding of his own aptitude. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, the eye in the palm of his hand vanished in a flash, and the Vast Void Eye outside instantly drilled into the void.
A handsome youth appeared in the sky above the Sky Sword Sect campsite, beside the youth were countless shadows of Sword Qi whirling, producing infinite variations, transforming into a variety of strange beasts and insects.
“A Golden Core Real Person!”
Upon seeing the youth, Lu Xuan understood instantly, his heart jolted, and he rushed out of the stone house at the fastest speed.
“Master Gu!”
“Master Gu!”
Li Zhen and others also rushed out of the house almost at the same time, greeting in unison.
The visitor was none other than Gu Jian Kong, one of the Golden Core Real People of the Sky Sword Sect, whom Lu Xuan had met when dealing with the obdurate spirit of the Green Xuan Deer.
“Wu Xia, did you bring everything that was instructed?
The handsome youth nodded at everyone, lightly floated down, and asked the cold female cultivator.
“Master Gu, I have brought everything.”
Sword Wu Xia nodded heavily, and handed a black cloth bag filled with intricate spirit patterns to the Golden Core Real Person Gu Jiankong.
“Good, with these specific elixirs, talismans, etc., we can hold on for a long time.”
Gu Jian Kong nodded satisfied, looking at Lu Xuan:
“Disciple Lu, it’s been a long time since we last met, I didn’t expect you have already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Mid-term.”
There was a hint of surprise in his tone..
