Chapter 1152: Chapter 149 Divine Wood Sect Authentic Teachings Chapter 1152: Chapter 149 Divine Wood Sect Authentic Teachings After Mu Yuanping left, Chen Qingshuang came to seek an audience.

As for Li Haotian, he was in closed-door cultivation.

After instructing Chen Qingshuang on Sword Dao cultivation, Lu Xuan entered the Spirit Field to check on the state of the Spirit Plants.

In the Sword Grass Spirit Field Area, both Frosted Soul Light Grass and Unlimited Freedom Sword Grass were growing well, one area radiating a bone-chilling light, and upon entering, even with his strong flesh body, he could feel the icy cold piercing his bones. In another, there were endless, extremely fine Sword Qi dancing about, captivating one’s soul.

The recently planted Azure Profound Wither Bloom Sword Grass had already taken root and sprouted; seven pale azure saplings stood straight like little swords in the Spirit Soil, bursting with Sword Intent, and vaguely forming a powerful formation between them.

On the periphery of the Spirit Field, Thunder Sound Sword Grass and Spectral Splitting Shadow Sword Grass, along with other fifth and fourth grade Sword Grass were planted. These were his main channels for obtaining Sword Talismans and other Swordsmanship Treasures, as well as the basis for breeding new varieties of Sword Grass.

More than twenty Origin Spirit Ginsengs had reached maturity, their rich life force transforming into a faint white fog, enveloping the entire Spirit Field.

Five Sky Origin Fruit saplings had also sprouted pale white young shoots, which quivered under the gentle breeze, exuding a strong vitality.

Lu Xuan checked each one carefully and nurtured them attentively before returning to his dwelling.

Several days later, he came to the forbidden area of the Sword Tomb, braving countless sword intents filled with murderous aura, and entered the stone house sealing the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath.

“I wonder how those Bone Slaying Sword Grass have been nurtured and stimulated?”

He poured out all the Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, resembling eerie white bones, and forcibly inserted the seven Azure Profound Wither Bloom Sword Grass into the scabbard, satisfying its lecherous nature.

A small pile of Spirit Soil appeared in his hand, and he planted seed after seed into it.

[Bone Slaying Sword Grass, Five-Quality Spirit Plant…]

The same thoughts sequentially emerged in his mind.

Lu Xuan had anticipated this scene, his expression remaining calm as he continued inspecting.

“Huh?”

It was not until the ninth seed that the information in his mind changed.

[Bone Slaying Sword Grass, Mutated Five-Quality Spiritual Plant, transformed under the nourishment and stimulation of dense Slaughter Sword Intent and high-rank Swordsmanship Treasures. When mature, this plant contains stronger and purer Slaughter Sword Intent than ordinary Bone Slaying Sword Grass, captivating and seizing one’s spirit with each move and gesture.]

“Having nurtured it for so long in the Sword Tomb forbidden area, a Mutated Spirit Seed has finally emerged.”

Everything is hard at the beginning; obtaining the first Mutated Sword Grass Spirit Seed makes it possible to continue inducing and stimulating others, hopeful of breeding a new sixth-grade variety of Sword Grass.

For Lu Xuan, his ability to instantaneously grasp Spirit Plant information was overly advantageous in the process of breeding.

An ordinary Spirit Plant Master, even if meeting the conditions for breeding a new type of Spirit Plant, must cultivate it to maturity to confirm if a mutation has occurred based on the plant’s characteristics.

If lucky and the mutation is successful, they must continue condensing seeds and inducing further stimulation; if unlucky, time and effort are wasted.

He, however, could skip that tedious process entirely, saving countless resources over repeated attempts.

This was what gave him the confidence to breed a new sixth-grade variety of Sword Grass.

He took the Mutated Bone Slaying Sword Grass out, deciding to double his efforts—continuously stimulating it in the scabbard while also planting and condensing the Mutated Spirit Seed.

Three months passed in a blink.

That day, while he was contemplating Sword techniques, a deep voice echoed outside his Cave Abode.

“Junior Brother Lu, are you in the Cave Abode? A ‘Cultivator’ claiming to be from the Divine Wood Sect has come to visit you outside the Sect.”

Lu Xuan’s Divine Sense swept over, and a cultivator with a steady demeanor was standing outside.

“Elder Brother Zhang, do you know that person’s full name?”

He asked, having met this Sword Sect Nascent Soul ‘Cultivator’ once, curious.

“Lin Jiangyuan.”

“Originally, it was that Daoist Lin.”

Lu Xuan’s mind conjured up the image of a refined and handsome young man.

The youth was a True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, and he had met Lu Xuan at the Ten Thousand Spirits Conference held by the Liyang Taoist Sect. At that time, Lu Xuan had deliberately befriended him to complete the Divine Wood Green Gourd, and unexpectedly, he had come to visit today.

He followed the middle-aged “Cultivator”‘s guidance and immediately welcomed Lin Jiangyuan into the Sword Sect.

“Daoist Lin, congratulations, congratulations! It has been dozens of years since we last met, and I didn’t expect you to have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage already.”

A flicker of surprise passed through Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“Haha, Friend Lu, you actually broke through to the Nascent Soul stage before me; the surprise should be mine to express.”

Lin Jiangyuan wore a green Taoist robe adorned with various strange herbs that continuously appeared and disappeared, exuding an air of natural essence.

When they first met, he was already at the Golden Core Completion Realm, while Lu Xuan was still in the late stage of Golden Core; he indeed had the right to say so.

“This time I’m passing by the Sword Sect, and I remembered the exceptional brews that Friend Lu produced. I couldn’t resist the urge and wanted to come buy a few bottles.”

Lin Jiangyuan said with a smile.

“That’s easy to say; feel free to take more back with you, Daoist Lin.”

“In recent years, I’ve mastered a new Fifth Grade Spirit Brew named Heart Flame Wine; moreover, I’ve brewed some of the rarely seen Fifth Grade Ape Demon Liquor. If you’re interested, I’ll sell them to you at a seventy percent discount.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile. After all, he acquired many of his spirit brews from the light clusters and only occasionally brewed them himself; with the aid of numerous Experience Packages, his success rate was astonishingly high, allowing him to afford selling them at low prices to the Nascent Soul “Cultivator” from the Divine Wood Sect in front of him.

“Then I thank you, Friend Lu.”

Lin Jiangyuan bowed and expressed his gratitude.

He had come with the intention of getting to know Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan had a nearly magical mastery in the Path of Spiritual Plants and was proficient in various high-ranking Spirit Brews, which matched perfectly with his origin from the Divine Wood Sect.

Not to mention, the other party was also a Nascent Soul “Cultivator” of the Dongxuan Sword Sect.

Establishing a deep friendship could possibly be greatly beneficial to his cultivation journey later on.

Lu Xuan led Lin Jiangyuan into the Cave Abode; at his gesture, a White Ape that had been arranged long ago brought over rare Spirit Fruit and Upper-Class Spirit Brew.

“It can even nourish the vitality and blood of Nascent Soul “Cultivators”. As expected of the fine brew made by Friend Lu; it’s formidable!”

Lin Jiangyuan took a large sip of Heart Flame Wine and couldn’t stop praising it.

“I usually like to research new Spirit Brews when I’m not Cultivating Spiritual Plants.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“Frankly speaking, Friend Lu’s achievements in both spiritual plants and spirit brews, even within the Divine Wood Sect, are considered among the top, even unparalleled.”

Lin Jiangyuan remarked thoughtfully.

The Divine Wood Sect was known throughout the Cultivation World for cultivating various high-ranking Spiritual Medicines, and most disciples in the sect were skilled in cultivating spiritual plants, naturally including the arts of alchemy and spirit brewing.

Yet, throughout the entire Divine Wood Sect, there were very few who reached the level of expertise in spiritual plants and spirit brewing as Lu Xuan had.

“Friend Lin flatters me too much.”

“According to what you said, it seems I joined the wrong sect. If only I had the chance to be initiated into the Divine Wood Sect initially.”

Lu Xuan said with a half-smile.

“Haha, don’t we also share a deep bond now?”

Lin Jiangyuan laughed loudly.
