Chapter 540: A little knowledge of sword techniques
After entering the city, Lu Xuan learned from the chats between Zhou Qi and others along the way that there were monks from five major sects stationed in Black Star City, including such major sects as Tianjian Sect, Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and Lingxiao Sect. Two medium-sized sects located near Black Star City.
Due to the cold lips and teeth, the two mid-level sects, although their strength was average, came out in full force, vowing to guard the last barrier in front of the sect.
There are 10,000 beast gate masters guarding the city just in case.
"It seems that the location of Black Star City is quite important, with so many sect monks stationed here."
Lu Xuan thought to himself as he walked slowly through the somewhat withered broad streets.
After a while, he was led to a courtyard by some casual cultivators in the city.
"Senior Brother Lu, this is where you will live and practice during this period. The courtyard is simple and crude, and it is much worse than the big sect. Please bear with me, Senior Brother."
This casual cultivator is at the early stage of foundation building, and his strength is quite good among casual cultivators. However, he automatically dwarfed his head in front of Lu Xuan, who was born in Tianjian Sect, and said with a nervous expression.
"Not bad, I'm very satisfied."
Lu Xuan said with a sincere expression. He was originally a casual cultivator. The small courtyard he lived in in Linyangfang City was much worse than the one in front of him. In addition, he came out this time to clean up evil spirits, so naturally he would not pay too much attention to it.
Hearing this, the casual cultivator felt much relieved, left a communication talisman and hurriedly left.
Lu Xuan entered the courtyard and casually arranged a simple restriction.
The yard is not big or small, with eight houses. In addition, there is an empty spiritual field, which is nearly three acres.
Lu Xuan felt the aura in the yard and frowned slightly.
Compared with the Tianjian Sect, the spiritual energy in Black Star City is not only much thinner, but also more complex.
"Fortunately, it is finally better than before in Linyangfang City."
Lu Xuan thought optimistically.
It was difficult to transition from extravagance to frugality. Such an environment made him somewhat uncomfortable as he was used to the pure and rich aura of the inner sect of Tianjian Sect.
"If the second-grade water fireweed is planted in such a spiritual field, the growth cycle will probably be much longer, and it will be difficult to obtain higher-quality mature plants."
He grabbed a ball of light black spiritual soil in the empty spiritual field and said secretly.
"There is no need to rush to cultivate the water fireweed spiritual seeds brought here. Let's wait for a few days to get used to it."
Lu Xuan looked at the deserted spiritual field, suppressed his inner urge to farm, entered the house, and began to adjust his breath to ensure that he was in the best condition.
There were many people in Black Star City, so he did not rush to take out the Nightmare Eye of the Void. He just released the Cloud-Stepping Lynx to make it wary of the evil aura. The Qingyu Feather Clothes covered its own Qi, and then entered the cultivation state.
The peaceful days did not last long.
Three days later, a talisman came quickly outside the courtyard, whistling outside the restricted area, as if urging Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's spiritual sense pulled the talisman over, input a trace of spiritual power, and a deep voice sounded.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, please patrol the formation carefully in the past few days. There are people with you..."
The voice releases a patrol mission to Lu Xuan, which includes patrol range, teammate information, shift time, etc.
Lu Xuan let go of the talisman and carefully checked the treasures on his body. When he felt that the time was almost up, he came to the location mentioned on the talisman.
"But Senior Brother Lu Xuanlu of Tianjian Sect?"
He came to a flat and wide square, and while he was looking around, an old voice came from a few feet away.
Lu Xuan followed the sound and saw a thin old man greeting him, with two people standing next to him.
His heart moved and he came to the three of them.
"It's me. I wonder if you are the Taoist fellow who is patrolling the edge of the city in a group this time?"
"Exactly."
The thin old man showed a kind smile on his face.
"Let me introduce you to Senior Brother Lu. This is Senior Brother Qiu Changyuan from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. He is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and is also the team leader of the four of us this time."
The old man pointed to an indifferent young man next to him.
"Hello, Senior Brother Qiu."
Lu Xuan greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Junior Brother Lu."
Qiu Changyuan smiled back.
"This is Senior Sister Meng Yue from Lingxiao Sect, who is in the early stages of foundation building."
The thin old man pointed to a gentle female cultivator next to him and said.
Lu Xuan and the female cultivator nodded and greeted each other.
"My name is Sun Yunming, and I come from a nearby small sect called Qingyuan Sect. Please take care of me, Senior Brother Lu, in the future."
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Sun, please take care of each other."
Lu Xuan said gently with a smile.
"Fellow Taoists, this is the first time we meet, and we will work together for a while. Let's introduce each other and get to know each other briefly."
Qiu Changyuan said.
"I come from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. I have rich experience in fighting evil beasts. I am good at controlling beasts. I control several fourth-level spiritual beasts. In addition, I also have several good magic weapons."
"Lingxiao Sect Meng Yue is good at making talismans, proficient in formations, and has entered many secret realms."
"Sun Yunming of the Qingyuan Sect is not particularly good at anything. He only has good attainments in a few mid-level spells and has a detailed understanding of the outer area of the Black Demon Abyss."
The thin old man said with a smile.
"Lu Xuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect is proficient in spiritual plants and knows a little about sword techniques. He rarely goes out to explore secret realms and has little fighting experience."
"However, in order to better protect my own life, I spent a lot of money to prepare a lot of talismans and treasures, which should not hold back fellow Taoists."
"Fellow Daoist Lu rarely explores secret realms and fights evil beasts?"
Hearing this, Qiu Changyuan frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"I spend most of my time in the sect cultivating spiritual plants."
Lu Xuan answered truthfully.
"Then you achieved the middle stage of foundation building in the sect?"
"Indeed."
Lu Xuan did not hide it. Almost all of his spiritual power came from the light group reward. He did not go through various battles or seek various opportunities. He successfully achieved the late stage of foundation building.
"How can I be given a spiritual planter who only has cultivation but is not good at fighting?"
Qiu Changyuan took a deep look at Lu Xuan, his expression became more indifferent, and he spoke bluntly without caring about his face at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Sun Yunming and Meng Yue changed, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
"I don't know, but it's up to my senior brother to ask fellow Taoists about related matters."
Lu Xuan looked calm and did not seem to hear the disgust in the indifferent young man's tone.
"Friend Lu, please don't worry too much. Senior Brother Qiu Changyuan's words are not malicious."
"As far as I know, one of the three Taoist friends assigned to Senior Brother last time was also a spiritual planter. He rarely went out to gain experience in fighting. He was unlucky and ran into a powerful demon. He died on the spot, and several Senior Brother Qiu were implicated. He was seriously injured and almost wiped out."
"That's why senior brother made such remarks."
A slight old voice came to Lu Xuan's ears. It was the thin old man who had been staying in Black Star City, explaining to Lu Xuan the reason why Qiu Changyuan behaved like this.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Sun, it doesn't matter what Fellow Daoist Qiu thinks of me, it won't affect the subsequent patrol missions."
Lu Xuan knew the old man's concerns and sent a message to him.
