You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 419: The Thunderous Sword

"This sword energy anomaly seems rather decent."

A spectral image of a snow-white Flood Dragon, formed from countless sword energies, flashed in front of Lu Xuan.

Among the many beast-like sword energy anomalies he had seen before, most were common tigers and leopards, which did not pique Lu Xuan's interest.

However, this one before him, with its sword energy far stronger than the rest and its extraordinary appearance, sparked Lu Xuan's curiosity.

His Azure Stride Shoes glowed as he suddenly accelerated, chasing after the snow-white Flood Dragon's sword energy phantom.

As he approached the Flood Dragon phantom to assess the surroundings, Lu Xuan, like an arrow, dove towards the snow-white Flood Dragon.

Sensing Lu Xuan's movement, the sword energy Flood Dragon flicked its tail, unleashing a torrent of snow-white sword lights from all directions towards Lu Xuan.

Although the sword energies in the Sword Pool wouldn't actively attack Sword Hall disciples carrying a Sword Fruit, they wouldn't allow the disciples to do as they please. If a disciple attempted to subdue them, they would retaliate.

Lu Xuan waved the Wind Thunder Sword in his hand, unleashing deep black sword energies like a hurricane, engulfing and annihilating the incoming sword lights.

The snow-white Flood Dragon phantom, having developed a hint of sentience, found Lu Xuan difficult to deal with. It dispersed into countless tiny sword lights, vanishing into the myriad sword energies.

"Thinking of escaping?"

"Sword Sheath, for your own happiness, lock onto it."

Lu Xuan sent a thought to the Profound Sword Sheath, which was far more sentient than the snow-white Flood Dragon phantom. Hearing Lu Xuan's words, it trembled slightly and detached from his waist, pointing in a direction.

Moments later, Lu Xuan found the recondensed snow-white Flood Dragon hidden in a dark cave, cleverly concealing its form.

Despite the darkness within the cave, Lu Xuan, who had cultivated the Eye Technique, could see everything inside clearly.

Deep within the cave, a snow-white sword artifact floated quietly in mid-air, its color as bright as the moonlight, only obscured by the endless darkness, thus not revealing its dazzling form.

In the Sword Pool, Lu Xuan couldn't use a White Bone Demon Puppet to lure it out, so he had to rely on his robust physique to directly subdue the snow-white flying sword.

The snow-white Flood Dragon phantom, sensing danger from its hiding spot, groaned lowly and transformed into a massive ethereal flying sword, striking fiercely at Lu Xuan.

With incredible speed, it reached Lu Xuan in an instant.

Lu Xuan remained unfazed, clasping his hands together, and caught the massive flying sword phantom directly.

Having consumed countless spirit fruits to enhance his physique and practiced superior body refining techniques like the Lustrous Bone Forging and the Great Void Dragon Transformation, Lu Xuan's palms didn't even suffer a scratch when catching the flying sword phantom.

A tremendous force surged from his hands into the sword energy phantom, shattering the Flood Dragon phantom. Countless tiny sword lights scattered, marking the cave's stone walls with numerous fine sword cuts.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan approached the snow-white flying sword and gently picked it up.

The sword was entirely snow-white, about three feet long, with many tiny scales distributed on the hilt, extending to the blade.

"To truly judge this flying sword, we'll need the Sword Sheath to inspect it."

Lu Xuan plunged the snow-white flying sword towards the ancient sword sheath.

At the sheath's opening, a thin layer of spiritual energy film symbolically resisted but was penetrated by the snow-white flying sword, reaching deep into the sheath.

Since acquiring the Profound Sword Sheath, Lu Xuan could examine its detailed state through infusing sword energy. Seeing the snow-white flying sword inserted into the sheath, he focused his spirit on the ancient sword sheath.

【Profound Sword Sheath, unknown artifact, extremely sentient, forged from extraterrestrial sword stone...】

【Currently nurturing the fourth-grade flying sword, Fish Dragon Sword.】

【Fish Dragon Sword, fourth-grade sword artifact, forged from the spine of a demonic white fish dragon, extremely sharp.】

"A fourth-grade Fish Dragon Sword..."

Lu Xuan murmured to himself.

Through the specific state of the sword sheath, he learned the origins of the snow-white flying sword inserted into the sheath,

"A fourth-grade flying sword is quite good, but should I spend one of my opportunities on it?"

Lu Xuan was fairly satisfied with the fourth-grade Fish Dragon Sword. After all, although he had many fourth-grade sword talismans, he only possessed one fourth-grade Wind Thunder Sword, highlighting the rarity of fourth-grade flying swords.

"I lack the innate attraction of Jian Wuxia

. Subduing flying swords relies mainly on personal strength, and dealing with fourth-grade flying swords isn't a problem."

"The most important thing is having the Profound Sword Sheath as a support."

"The sword sheath is extremely sensitive to sword energy anomalies emanating from sword artifacts, able to detect their locations, saving me a lot of time in searching."

"After finding a sword artifact, it can be inserted into the sheath to understand its detailed information, which is a significant advantage."

"With sufficient strength and unique advantages, there's no need to rush to confirm the limited opportunities."

Lu Xuan thought to himself, deciding to temporarily set aside the Fish Dragon Sword in his hand.

He slowly pulled the snow-white flying sword from the sheath. When completely withdrawn, the tiny sword energies seemed to stretch into threads.

"Not seeking eternal companionship, just to have once possessed."

"Having experienced a new flying sword is quite nice."

"I'll find you an even better one later."

Lu Xuan promised the reluctantly parting ancient sword sheath.

A dim snow-white Flood Dragon phantom flew out from the sword, wrapping around the Fish Dragon Sword and blending back into the darkness.

Lu Xuan left the cave, crouching low, and continued to navigate slowly through the myriad sword energies.

After wandering for nearly half an hour, during which he encountered several flying swords of the same grade as the Fish Dragon Sword, each with its merits but failing to fully satisfy Lu Xuan, he let the sword sheath experience them before separating.

Suddenly, a thunderous boom resounded near his ear.

The sound of thunder seemed to carry a power that repelled all evil, with a hint of Zen, as if embodying the power of a Vajra subduing demons with compassion and thunderous methods.

The Profound Sword Sheath trembled violently, reacting very strongly.

Eager to lead the way, it flew ahead, guiding Lu Xuan to seek out the sword artifact behind the thunderous sound.

"Such a strong reaction, do you like those that appear dignified but are loud?"

Lu Xuan speculated silently.

Explosions of thunderous sounds competed to burst forth, seemingly obstructing Lu Xuan's path.

His body harbored no evil aura, his cultivation enhanced by luminous orbs, leaving no room for corruption by evil forces. The sound of thunder had little effect on him, merely causing his blood to surge.

With a robust physique, he quickly regained control of the surging blood.

Shortly after, under the guidance of the ancient sword sheath, Lu Xuan found a silver-white short sword.

The short sword had fine golden lines, as if struck by endless thunder.

Inserting the silver-white short sword into the Profound Sword Sheath, he instantly knew detailed information about the sword.

【Thunderous Sword, a fourth-grade flying sword, forged from an extraterrestrial meteorite with Buddhist secret techniques. When activated, it unleashes sword qi with thunderous sound, fierce and domineering, containing Buddhist power, exceptionally effective against evil spirits and heretical cultivators.】
