You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 420: Pushing One's Luck

"The Fourth Rank Thunderous Sword can unleash sword qi with thunderous sound, possessing a strong restraint against demonic spirits and heretical cultivators."

Lu Xuan muttered to himself, examining the silver-white short sword in his hand.

In his eyes, this Thunderous Sword was much stronger than the Fish Dragon Sword he had encountered before. It naturally carried the unique sword qi of thunderous sound, which was particularly effective against heretical cultivators and demonic spirits.

More importantly, Lu Xuan speculated that this Fourth Rank Thunderous Sword, which contained Buddhist power, might be used to cultivate the Diamond Bodhi spiritual plant.

The Diamond Bodhi was currently placed in that damaged secret realm, and since only the Soul-Inducing Incense could slightly promote the growth of the spiritual plant, the Bodhi's spiritual seed had not changed much.

Now, with the addition of this Fourth Rank Thunderous Sword, it might be possible to make the spiritual seed take root and sprout.

Additionally, the sword qi thunderous sound released by the flying sword was also beneficial to the Fourth Rank Illusion Sound Bamboo.

The quality and characteristics of the Thunderous Sword were quite impressive, and considering the Diamond Bodhi factor, Lu Xuan did not hesitate much and decided to choose this Thunderous Sword as the first sword weapon for the Sword Pool.

"It's better to make a decision early, to avoid hesitating later on and ending up with the situation of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons."

He forcefully inserted the silver-white short sword into the ancient sword sheath.

"Too short, too short, a powerless short sword."

The Nourishing Sword Sheath transmitted a faint thought, which seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

Lu Xuan's palm turned into a translucent jade color, and he forcefully stabbed the silver-white short sword deeper into the sheath.

"Didn't you eat? Can you push it harder from behind the sword weapon?"

The Nourishing Sword Sheath, developed from many sword weapons like the Purple Lightning Sword and Wind and Thunder Sword, was not satisfied with the new sword weapon's shortness.

"?"

A question mark flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.

He's asking me to push harder behind the flying sword, what a ridiculous behavior...

As his spiritual power surged into the Thunderous Sword, a series of deep, muffled thunder sounds came from inside the ancient sword sheath, causing it to tremble continuously and sword qi to radiate in all directions.

The Nourishing Sword Sheath, struck by wave after wave of sword qi thunderous sound, finally quieted down.

"Getting this few inches long flying sword is already quite good, yet you wish for a flying sword several feet long."

"Don't push your luck."

Lu Xuan transmitted a thought to the ancient sword sheath, leaving the silver-white short sword inside, where the special aura within the sheath nurtured and refined the flying sword.

After taming the Thunderous Sword, Lu Xuan continued to traverse through the fine sword qi in the sky.

A moment later, he arrived at a peculiar rocky mountain peak.

The mountain was covered with rugged and strange rocks, with countless deep and shallow sword marks on the surface of the rocks, and the sword wind whistled through the cracks and holes of the strange rocks, sounding sharp.

"Brother Shi Hao?"

Lu Xuan spotted a familiar figure ahead, one of the Sword Hall disciples who had entered the Sword Pool with him. At the grand hall, Shen Ye had specially introduced him, saying he mastered several types of sword intent and had profound sword techniques.

"Junior Brother Lu, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Shi Hao was searching for sword qi anomalies in the infinite sword qi. Hearing Lu Xuan's greeting, he turned his head, a smile appearing on his face.

"It must be fate."

Lu Xuan replied, the Sword Pool was vast and filled with countless sword qi making it difficult to move around. There were only ten Sword Hall disciples who entered the Sword Pool, so it was indeed rare for the two to meet.

"Did Junior Brother Lu tame any sword weapon?"

Shi Hao asked curiously.

"Fortunate enough, I acquired one, and I'm quite satisfied with it," Lu Xuan briefly said, well aware of the principle of not flaunting wealth and did not reveal the Thunderous Sword.

Although the Sword Pool was all from the same sect and was overseen by a Core Formation True Immortal, ensuring safety, Lu Xuan did not want to test his fellow disciples' humanity and the Core Formation elder's capabilities.

"I did too, obtained a guaranteed Third Rank sword weapon, and was thinking if I could find a better flying sword."

Shi Hao said with a smile.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to bid him farewell, suddenly, in front of Shi Hao, a black snake sword qi phantom shot out from a giant strange rock several meters high, fleeing towards the

mountain top.

The black snake was about half a meter long, entirely black, with wings, and moved extremely swiftly, disappearing in front of them in a flash.

"Quick as lightning, it must be a Fourth Rank flying sword known for its speed."

Shi Hao blurted out.

Turning to look at Lu Xuan, his eyes flickered.

"Junior Brother Lu, this black snake sword weapon is so fast, and its spirituality seems extraordinary, likely a Fourth Rank flying sword of good quality."

"Since both of us discovered it simultaneously, why not compete based on our skills to see who can tame this flying sword?"

He quickly thought of a plan.

Lu Xuan's ability to enter the Sword Pool did not necessarily mean he had profound sword skills, merely relying on his skill in cultivating sword grass to qualify.

Shi Hao was extremely confident in his swordsmanship and believed that even if Lu Xuan competed for the black snake sword weapon, he had a great chance of winning.

"No, Brother Shi, I know my own capabilities and doubt my ability to tame that flying sword. It's all yours, I'll take my leave first."

Lu Xuan bowed and said.

"This... Junior Brother Lu, I'll remember this favor."

Shi Hao was momentarily stunned, then bowed in gratitude.

Lu Xuan smiled slightly and walked down the mountain.

That black snake phantom, although not weak in energy, was far from Lu Xuan's expectations, even slightly inferior to the Fish Dragon Sword he had encountered before, let alone the Thunderous Sword he had already obtained.

The sword sheath's reaction was the best proof.

Rather than waste time, it was better to do a favor and save time to search for a better sword weapon.

Moments later, Lu Xuan saw a starry nebula hanging low ahead, with stars flickering unpredictably and sword qi light flashing.

"This, this, I want this."

The Nourishing Sword Sheath, experiencing the new sword weapon, transmitted a thought to Lu Xuan.

"The Thunderous Sword is still inside you, and now you want a new one. You're such a fickle sheath."

Lu Xuan scorned the ancient sword sheath, the Azure Stride Shoes glowed beneath his feet, and his figure, like a wisp of smoke, silently approached the starry anomaly.

A sword sheath approved by, naturally, is a good item.

"Alas, since my sword sheath's spirituality is damaged, I must find it more good companions to help it recover as soon as possible."

Lu Xuan pretended to lament.

Approaching the nebula, just as he was about to find an opportunity to tame it, his mind suddenly became dizzy, as if he were in the vast starry sky, with countless stars and occasional meteor-like sword qi passing by, bypassing Lu Xuan, who possessed the sword fruit.

"Indeed, the sword weapon I've set my sights on is extraordinary."

Lu Xuan exclaimed, with a thought, the Spirit-Nurturing Scroll in the depths of his sea of consciousness emitted a faint spiritual light, his mind cleared, and the starry scene rapidly dissolved, vanishing like smoke.

Lu Xuan opened his eyes, and around his Wind and Thunder Sword, countless deep black sword lights appeared, like a hurricane, with thunder and lightning flashing within, swiftly rolling towards the nebula.
