Chapter 210 - 208: Better to Be Happy with You for a Day_l
The ancient sword sheath seemed to understand what Lu Xuan said, trembling slightly as if extremely resistant to the so-called insertion of the flying sword.
“Are you excited? It must be excitement, right?! Relax, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied.”
Lu Xuan thought maliciously.
This nurturing Xuan sword sheath, accidentally obtained from the Secret Land, has a more extraordinary origin than he had imagined.
Previously, when the second rank Red Flame Sword was inserted into the sword sheath for a while, the remnant sword intent, accompanied by the stimulation of the sword sheath, nurtured the Sword Grass Spirit Seed, and they got the Fire System Sword Grass.
Under the joint action of the edge sword of Wind and Thunder in the Sword Pill and the sword sheath, they surprisingly got a third-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed.
“This success rate is remarkably high and a bit terrifying.”
“When I was inducing the Spirit Firefly Grass Seed last time, even with repeated stimulation, the success rate was only about 20%.”
“About this nurturing Xuan sword sheath…”
Lu Xuan muttered, slightly emotional.
Although stimulating the Sword Grass Spirit Seed took longer, required frequent input of the Wind and Thunder Sword Edge during the stimulation and the entire process was much more troublesome, it was not worth mentioning compared to getting hold of a third-grade Mutated Spirit Seed.
He placed the grey Spirit Seed, with black wind circling around it and electric arcs hidden on its surface, into the Spirit Field. Spiritual power surged, and the Wind and Thunder Sword Pill in his Dantian gradually rotated, shooting a subtle sword intent into the Spirit Field.
Under Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense control, the Sword Intent kept splitting, and strands of Sword Intent, thin as threads, permeated into the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed.
Lu Xuan’s attention gathered on the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed, and only after ascertaining its current stable condition did he feel relieved.
Even though he had successfully cultivated an improved third-grade Sword Grass, Lu Xuan was in no hurry to submit it to the Sword Hall.
After all, it is not wise to let outsiders know of the existence of the nurturing Xuan sword sheath. Once he learns the Sword Grass Spirit Seed Condensing Method from the Sword Hall and has massively cultivated the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass Spirit Seed, he could then report to Shen Ye of the Sword Hall.
A few days later, as per his daily routine, he inspected the Spirit Field.
In the Spirit Field, another Spirit Plant had matured, a second-class Flowing Light Wood.
Not long after he joined the Sect, he had bought two plants each of the second- class Flowing Light Wood and Yin Locust tree with Spirit Stones.
Previously, the first plant that was fully grown yielded a Flowing Light Formation; today, the remaining plant has also fully matured.
The quality was slightly inferior to the previous one, but Lu Xuan was still satisfied.
He lightly touched the faintly shimmering white light cluster on the ground.
An idea flashed through his mind.
[Harvested a second-class Flowing Lightwood, received a third-grade Gold Hair Talisman Pen.]
A Golden Wolf Hair Talisman Pen appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.
The pen conducts very well, there is no stagnation when spiritual power is attached to it, it can slightly increase the formulation success rate.
Lu Xuan, who is fully focused on cultivating Spirit Plants, does not plan to learn a new skill for now, so he put the Gold Hair Talisman Pen into the storage bag.
After inspecting the Spirit Field, Lu Xuan returned to his courtyard.
Having cultivated the third-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, it was worth celebrating a bit.
He took out specially bought fresh monster meat, various Spirit Fruits, Spirit Brew, and Crab Spirit Paste Snacks from the Life Bag.
A fireball as big as a basin quickly turned the wood charcoal, which was made from low-level Spirit Wood, into a red blaze at a flick of his fingers.
With nearly dozens of Silver Edge fragments dancing in unison, he cut the Demon Beast meat, smeared various seasonings on it, and the court was immediately filled with a rich fragrance.
A light green round ball flapped its wings non-stop, rushing over from atop the mountain.
The wind falcon landed in the yard, with the Fire Separation Flood Dragon around its neck looking longingly at the demon beast meat that was sizzling and oozing with oil on the rack, swallowing continuously.
The cloud leopard has somehow also found its way into the yard. His emerald- green eyes took a casual look at the demon beast meat that was being roasted, and he gracefully passed by, only the constant twitching of two clusters of gray-white hairs on the top of his ears laid bare his inner desire.
The aroma of the meat became richer and richer, as if it was going to permeate outside the flowing light formation.
Lu Xuan sensed the disturbance from the formation and looked ahead.
In the air above the mountain peak, thin silvery lines appeared and tried to converge. Suddenly, a White Luan Bird, seemingly from nowhere, landed gracefully in the courtyard.
Then, a delicate monkey that looked like white jade turned into a beam of white light and rushed out from the countless silver lines, stopping behind the White Luan Bird.
“Friends from afar, welcome! Welcome!”
The corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth raised into a faint smile.
“The demon beast meat needs a little more time. You can try some spirit fruit and spirit brew first. I have brought them from outside the sect especially for this gathering.”
He softly addressed the Mystical Sky White Luan and White Jade Sky Monkey.
Soon, the cuts of demon beast meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, were cooked and ready. Lu Xuan cut them into bite-sized pieces and distributed them evenly among the drooling spirit beasts.
The Luan Bird and the little monkey, who usually only consume plain, raw ingredients, had never seen such exquisite feasts.
Varieties of different flavors of demon beast meat entered their bellies – – the aroma, the freshness, the spicy flavor… it was a tasteful experience they had never felt before.
Lu Xuan diligently grilled the demon beast meat, occasionally handing over a piece of spirit fruit, a cup of spirit brew, to cleanse the palate, alternating tastes.
After feeding the spirit beasts, he could sense their detailed conditions and understand their every subtle need.
Therefore, he took great care of the Luan Bird and the White Ape, very diligently and attentively. This made these two powerful spirit beasts feel incredibly pleased, both physically and emotionally.
Thinking back to the usual simple, repeated meals of spirit fruits and demon beast meat, and contrasting it to the unparalleled taste and excellent service of Lu Xuan’s food, both couldn’t help but think it was as if they were swallowing coarse grain. They looked at Lu Xuan with different eyes.
“Years of having meals at the sect are no match for a day at your place,” they thought in unison.
With bellies full and satisfied, the spirit beasts all lay lazily on the ground, their little stomachs round and bulging.
Lu Xuan walked over to the Luan Bird and White Ape.
“Was the demon beast meat to your liking today?”
Seeing the two beasts nod in confirmation, the smile on his face grew wider.
“If you like to eat, you can come often. After all, we are friends. Don’t be so formal, just come over and there will always be delicious food.”
Lu Xuan subtly led them on, his voice being suggestive.
The Luan Bird and the White Ape’s eyes were filled with excitement. They were full of expectations for the chance to savor this kind of deliciousness in the future.
“That’s what friends are for. If I have delicious food, I will share it with you. If you have delicious food, you will share it with me too.”
“Not only will we share in each other’s delights, but also each other’s difficulties. No matter who runs into trouble, the rest of us will do their best to help. Do you agree?”
The Luan Bird, still lying on the ground, lifted its neck high and nodded. The White Ape, with a flip like a carp, stood upright. It shyly glanced at Lu Xuan before nodding in agreement.
“If I were to get bullied or someone wants to fight with me, would you help me?”
The words ‘fight’ seemed to touch the deepest part of the White Ape’s bloodline. Its eyes instantly turned blood-red. Its aura changed from shy and timid to violent and fierce.
With a low growl, it fished around in its white jade-like head and pulled out a silver-white whisker as hard as jade, handing it over to Lu Xuan.
