Chapter 1082: Awakening
After developing this Sword Black Hedgehog offline, Lu Xuan only had to wait quietly for the other Sword Black Hedgehogs to come to his door.
Every once in a while, he would take out the Yangxuan Sword Sheath from Xinjian Lake, in the name of maintaining the whole body of the Sword Xuan Hedgehog, so that the scabbard could enjoy the feeling of thousands of swords piercing the core.
The efficiency of the scabbard was greatly improved as a result, and two more mutated Thousand Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seeds were obtained later.
After he ripened it, there were eight mutated fourth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grasses in total.
If an ordinary spiritual plant master wants to improve a fourth-grade mutated spiritual plant in a short period of time, he doesn't know how much time and effort it will take.
And he has the Sword Qi Treasure Dixin Jianhu Villa provided by the Huanzhen Sword Master, the Xuan Yang Sword Sheath that can stimulate the sword grass spiritual seeds, and the special ability to grasp the detailed information of the spiritual seeds at any time, which allows him to improve his spiritual skills. The efficiency of Zhongshi far exceeds that of other spiritual planters. It is not an exaggeration to say that one person is worth a sect.
On this day, when he was inspecting the status of many spiritual plants in the spiritual field, suddenly, a gentle voice sounded outside the cave.
"Junior Brother Lu, are you in the cave?"
Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness swept over and found Mo Yuanfeng standing quietly at the entrance of the cave.
"Senior Brother Mo, have you finished your retreat?"
He greeted him with a smile.
"Well, I spent a lot of time to understand a magical power, but fortunately I gained something."
Mo Yuanfeng and Lu Xuan entered the quiet courtyard together.
"Then you have to celebrate."
Lu Xuan immediately took out a bottle of Huanzhen Sword Liquid and poured a full cup for Mo Yuanfeng.
"I came here this time not to tell my junior brother about my experience of seclusion."
Mo Yuanfeng said softly, his expression a bit heavy.
"Senior brother, please speak."
Lu Xuan looked solemn when he heard this.
"Junior Brother Wan Zhong Wan failed to break through the Nascent Soul."
"ah?"
Mo Yuanfeng's simple words made Lu Xuan's ears feel like thunder was exploding.
He responded subconsciously, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Then...how is Senior Brother Wan's current situation?"
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and asked slowly.
"When Junior Brother Wan broke through, he failed to survive the inner demon tribulation and his soul was severely damaged. Fortunately, an elder from the mid-stage Nascent Soul protected him and rescued him in time."
"It is currently in the recuperation stage, and it will take at least a year to recover."
Mo Yuanfeng said in a deep voice.
Lu Xuan still had a look of disbelief on his face:
"I really didn't expect that Senior Brother Wan would encounter an accident during the breakthrough."
In his opinion, Wan Zhong was just like the academic masters he had seen in his previous life. He was extremely talented and his cultivation was as simple as drinking water.
The realm that other monks struggled to break through was easily overcome by him.
Unexpectedly, he experienced the taste of failure when he broke through the Nascent Soul.
"Breaking through the Nascent Soul is already as difficult as climbing to the sky. With the Sword Sect's ability, it can only slightly increase the success rate."
"Even if Junior Brother Wan is considered one of the best cultivation geniuses in the world, even if the probability of breakthrough is much higher than that of other monks who have perfected the core formation, the possibility is still low."
Mo Yuanfeng whispered.
"Success is based on the bones, and failure is based on the bones. Junior brother's journey has been too smooth, and he has not tempered his mind enough, so he fell at the level of the inner demon calamity."
He sighed.
"When Senior Brother Wan's spirit is better restored, I will go over and see him."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly and said.
The two chatted for a while, and then Mo Yuanfeng said goodbye and left.
Lu Xuan felt sad in his heart, sitting in the yard, overlooking the infinite subtle sword energy whizzing past in the sea of clouds below. "For me, Senior Brother Wan's failed breakthrough experience can be regarded as a wake-up call."
"Lack of tempering of will..."
"I stay in the cave all year round cultivating spiritual plants. I rarely go out to explore the secret realm, and I don't use life and death dangers to temper my will and state of mind. I don't know if it will be a big obstacle to breaking through the Nascent Soul."
He recalled the hundred years since he first harvested the light mass.
Except for rare or unavoidable explorations of secret places, he has never set foot in dangerous situations. It can be said that he takes caution to the highest level.
There are advantages and disadvantages to this. Although there will be no danger, it does lack training in fighting skills and will.
"However, not going out to explore, travel, and fight life and death does not mean that you are not determined enough."
"I have stayed in that mortal monument for a long time and experienced countless joys and sorrows. In terms of determination, I will not be weaker than other monks of the same level."
"In addition, from the time I started practicing to this day, I have always retained my original intention of seeking the Tao. I only want to be a spiritual planter who can cultivate spiritual plants with peace of mind."
A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan's mouth.
"Finally, I also have two seventh-grade treasures that can nourish the consciousness and strengthen the soul, the God-stealing jade and the yellow beam jade pillow."
"After you warm up and cultivate some spiritual consciousness in the God-Stealing Jade, you can try to enter the so-called Huangliang Township."
The more spiritual consciousness he has, the greater his chances of escaping from Huangliang Township. With the guidance of Huangliang Jade Pillow, Lu Xuan has enough confidence to venture into the rumored Huangliang Township.
Soon, one year passed.
During this period, he basically focused on two things, cultivating spiritual plants and preparing for the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul.
Everything is developing step by step.
On this day, he came to the cave where Chongxu Sword Peak Wanzhong was located.
"Senior Brother Zhou?"
Outside the cave, Lu Xuan unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance before he informed Wan Zhong.
It was Zhou Chao who had a brief relationship with Liyang Dao Sect, who also entered the realm of perfecting the alchemy early, but his attitude towards cultivation was different from Wan Zhong's.
Zhou Chao has an indifferent temperament and is serious. He puts all his thoughts on cultivation. He is a real cultivation maniac.
In addition, Lu Xuan keeps a distance from this Senior Brother Zhou. This is the first time they have met in all these years since they returned to Jianzong.
"Junior Brother Lu."
Zhou Chao said with a hoarse voice, and it can be seen that he rarely communicates with others on weekdays.
After the two of them sent a voice message in, Wan Zhong quickly came out to greet them.
"Junior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Lu, why are you here?"
"Come and drink a few cups of spirit wine with Senior Brother Wan, and I just happened to meet Senior Brother Zhou."
Lu Xuan shook the wine pot in his hand and said with a smile.
"It's just right, let's get drunk and relieve our worries!"
Wan Zhong laughed heartily.
He had a small golden bell tied around his waist. There were cracks of varying lengths and thicknesses on the surface of the bell, revealing an ancient and mottled meaning. I don't know how many years it has been.
As it swayed gently, a clear and long bell sound was heard occasionally. The sound echoed for a long time and entered the sea of consciousness, as if soothing all the confusion and trauma in the depths of the soul.
"This is a rare treasure lent to me by the Chongxu Sword Master. It is of great benefit to cultivators whose souls have been severely damaged. Carrying it all the time can warm the soul and make it heal as soon as possible."
Wan Zhongjian glanced at the ancient bell on his waist and explained with a smile.
Although his expression was still as free and easy as usual, Lu Xuan caught a trace of haze in his brows from time to time.
"Why are the two brothers still standing at the door? Hurry up and go in and drink a few cups, otherwise my spirit wine will evaporate."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
