Chapter 207: Sword Embryo
Chapter 207: Sword Embryo
Lu Xuan carefully carved out the three pairs of blood-red eyes of the Six-Eyed Crimson Iron Scorpion.
Sensing the approach of the excellent demonic beast eyes, dozens of eyes on the withered and aged bark of the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood simultaneously underwent changes, eagerly opening and staring at the giant scorpion eyes, showing signs of restlessness.
The originally left demonic beast eyes had been mostly absorbed, leaving only dried-up tiny eyeballs hanging on the bark's eye sockets. When a gloomy atmosphere passed by, they swayed like abandoned gray-white lanterns.
Stimulated by the fresh eyes of the Fourth-Rank Six-Eyed Crimson Iron Scorpion, the previously dried-up demonic beast eyes fell one after another, smashing onto the ground and becoming fragments. Lightning-fast, nearly transparent tentacles withdrew back into the eerie eyes of the demonic beast.
Lu Xuan placed one of the giant scorpion eyes flat on his index finger, and with a flick of his thumb, the eye flew towards the withered bark.
Suddenly, dozens of tiny transparent tentacles shot out, forcefully pulling the giant scorpion eye onto the bark's eye socket. After several struggles, a delicate balance was finally achieved. Tentacles near the eye sockets pierced in from various directions, forcefully extracting nutrients from the Fourth-Rank demonic beast eyes.
Lu Xuan flicked six giant scorpion eyes towards various parts of the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood trunk, causing a commotion among the nearby eye sockets.
He then came to the front of the Thorny Bone before saying, "The Third-Rank Thorny Bone seems to be showing signs of brittleness after being absorbed by the Thorny Bone for such a long time."
Lu Xuan gazed at the huge skeleton, seemingly intact on the surface but hollow in reality, and sighed.
"The Fourth-Rank Six-Eyed Crimson Iron Scorpion skeleton, although smaller in size than the Thorny Bone, is one rank higher in quality. It should be enough to mature the Thorny Bone."While the value of the Six-Eyed Crimson Iron Scorpion skeleton might be lower than its venom, poison needles, and three pairs of unique eyes, being a Fourth-Rank demonic beast ensures no problems in maturing the Thorny Bone in the later stages.
Lu Xuan cut the meat from the scorpion's corpse and buried it under the Third-Rank Venomous Shuttlewood. The demonic beast meat contained a considerable amount of toxins, perfect for cultivating the Venomous Shuttlewood and promoting its growth.
"The growth of Yin Spirit Plants in the courtyard is quite good. The number of resentful souls in the Soul Bell is not much, but with the nourishment of the Yin Soul Pearl, the resentment can significantly increase in a short time. After nourishment, one Yin Spirit can match the previous three, barely enough."
"As for the Thorny Bone's continued growth, there's no need to worry. The Venomous Shuttlewood can also grow normally in this environment. As for the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood, I can release another task in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to collect demonic beast eyes next time I bring them over."
"As for the Holy Infant Fruits, they can only meet basic growth requirements for now."
Lu Xuan glanced at the numerous spiritual plants in the courtyard and thought to himself.
Without staying too long, he opened the Illusion Mist Formation, confirmed its correctness, and flew towards the sect.
Inside the Sky Sword Sect.
Lu Xuan, with his Identity Token, passed through one array after another, feeling extremely peaceful in his heart.
"It's still better to stay in the sect, lean on a big tree, and enjoy the coolness without worrying about any tricks."
"Just cultivating quietly is enough."
Feeling this, the peaks under his command were already in sight.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but let out a long howl, and his figure turned into a floating light, arriving at the foot of the mountain in a few breaths.
"I'm back, everyone."
Threads of silver lines appeared and disappeared at times as Lu Xuan activated the flowing light formation, entering the mountain peak.
A faint cyan figure swiftly flew over and landed on Lu Xuan's head.
The broad wings of the light blue color occasionally slapped Lu Xuan's shoulders, revealing strong joy.
Feeling the familiar soft touch on his head, Lu Xuan couldn't help but pinch it a few times.
The Wind Falcon snorted twice before coming down from his head.
On its long neck, a thick and fiery red necklace hung securely. Sensing Lu Xuan's gaze, the raised Fire Dragon at the top of its head turned to look at Lu Xuan with a pair of light red crystalline eyes, seemingly bewildered.
"It's been a while, and you've grown so big."
Lu Xuan noticed that the young dragon had grown from one and a half feet at birth to about two feet. He sighed and took out the fire-type demonic beast meat that the young dragon loved from his storage bag.
"You have some too."
Seeing the young Wind Falcon eagerly looking on, he quickly took out a few pieces of wind-type demonic beast meat.
Not far away, in the dense forest, the rustling of leaves sounded. The Cloud-Stepping Lynx crouched on a giant tree at the periphery, raising its head slightly. A pair of emerald green eyes faintly swept Lu Xuan.
Only the two tufts of curved gray-white fur on its head and the constantly swaying short tail behind it revealed its inner restlessness.
Lu Xuan had long understood the Cloud-Stepping Lynx's proud and aloof temperament. With a rough and low growl that carried some resentment, it came down to the tree when it saw Lu Xuan.
Grabbing two pieces of demonic beast meat and giving them a strong shake, the Cloud-Stepping Lynx's thick paws swept over like white clouds, firmly grabbing the demonic beast meat.
"Haha!"
Lu Xuan laughed heartily, seeing the joy in the three little ones. With a few leaps, he returned to the courtyard.
After a short rest, he began to inspect the spiritual field and check the growth of various spiritual plants.
"Well, one Sword Grass has completely matured!"
Passing by the two Sword Grass plants gifted by the Shen Ye, the Sect Master of the Agricultural Hall, Lu Xuan, concentrated his mind on the straight-as-a-sword plant. Unexpectedly, he found that the progress bar below one of the Sword Grass had already been completely filled.
These two Sword Grass plants were planted not long ago with Flowing Wood and Yin Wisteria. Therefore, the time for maturity was not far apart.
Lu Xuan enveloped the plant with spiritual power, firmly grasped the sword-like Sword Grass, and slowly pulled it out.
On the gray-black Sword Grass, tiny sword qi swayed all around, hitting Lu Xuan's palm and causing a faint hissing sound.
The root of the Sword Grass had a peculiar shape, resembling a sword hilt at first glance. When held in hand, it had a natural and coordinated feeling.
Concentrating his mind, a thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.
[Sword Grass, Second-Rank spiritual plant, shaped like a sword, nurtured by sword qi for a long time. A natural sword, can be used directly or used to refine flying swords.]
"Top-quality Sword Grass, the sect's spiritual aura is much better than the market
."
Lu Xuan remembered that the Sword Grass he cultivated in the Linyang market was of excellent quality. In the purer and more concentrated spiritual aura environment of the sect, and with the nourishment of the completed Golden Sword Technique, the quality of this Sword Grass had improved even further.
Thinking this, he looked towards the ground.
At the pit left by the Sword Grass, a white light ball slightly flickered, waiting for him to pick it up.
Lu Xuan lightly touched the surface of the light ball. Countless light dots on the light ball condensed into a light sword. In an instant, they surged into Lu Xuan's body.
Immediately after, a thought appeared in his mind.
[Harvested one Second-Rank Sword Grass, obtained a Third-Rank Sword Embryo.]
A golden small sword appeared in front of him, swimming around Lu Xuan like a fish.
