You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 1082 Alertness
After developing this Sword Black Hedgehog into his subordinate, Lu Xuan only needed to wait quietly for the other Sword Black Hedgehogs to come to him on their own initiative.

Every once in a while, he would take out the Yangxuan Sword Scabbard from the Heart Sword Lake, in the name of maintaining the whole body of the Sword Xuan Hedgehog, allowing the scabbard to fully enjoy the feeling of having thousands of swords piercing its core.

The efficiency of the scabbard was greatly improved as a result, and later two mutated Thousand Thunder Sword Grass spirit seeds were obtained.

After he ripened them, there were a total of eight mutated fourth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grasses.

If an ordinary spiritual plant master wants to improve a mutated fourth-grade spiritual plant in a short period of time, it would take a lot of time and energy.

And he has the Sword Lake Villa in the Heart of the Sword Lake provided by the Lord of Huanzhen Sword, the Yangxuan Sword Scabbard that can nourish and stimulate the sword grass spirit seeds, and the special ability to grasp the detailed information of the spirit seeds at any time. This makes him much more efficient than other spirit plant masters in improving the spirit seeds. It is no exaggeration to say that one person is worth an entire sect.

On this day, when he was checking the condition of many spiritual plants in the spiritual field, suddenly, a gentle voice was heard outside the cave.

"Junior Brother Lu, are you in the cave?"

Lu Xuan's spiritual sense swept over and saw Mo Yuanfeng standing quietly at the entrance of the cave.

"Brother Mo, have you finished your retreat?"

He went out to greet her with a smile.

"Well, I spent quite a bit of time comprehending a magical power, and fortunately I gained something."

Mo Yuanfeng followed Lu Xuan into the quiet courtyard.

"Then you have to celebrate."

Lu Xuan immediately took out a bottle of Huan Zhen Sword Liquid and brewed a full cup for Mo Yuanfeng.

"I didn't come here this time to tell my junior brother about my retreat experience."

Mo Yuanfeng said softly, his expression somewhat heavy.

"Senior brother, please speak."

When Lu Xuan heard this, his expression became solemn.

"Junior Brother Wan Zhongwan failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"what?"

Mo Yuanfeng's simple words made Lu Xuan's ears sound like thunder.

He responded subconsciously, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Then...how is Senior Brother Wan doing now?"

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and asked slowly.

"When Junior Brother Wan was breaking through, he failed to successfully overcome his inner demon tribulation and his soul was severely damaged. Fortunately, an elder in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul protected him and rescued him in time."

"I am currently in the recuperation stage. It will take at least a year for me to fully recover."

Mo Yuanfeng said in a deep voice.

Lu Xuan still had an expression of disbelief on his face:
"I really didn't expect that Senior Brother Wan would encounter an accident during his breakthrough."

In his opinion, Wan Chong was just like those academic masters he had seen in his previous life, gifted and talented, and practicing was as easy as drinking water.

He easily broke through the realm that other cultivators had to work hard to break through.

Unexpectedly, he experienced the taste of failure when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Breaking through the Nascent Soul stage is already extremely difficult. With the Sword Sect's ability, it can only slightly increase the success rate."

“Even if Junior Brother Wan is a rare talent among thousands, and even if his chances of breaking through are much higher than other Jindan Perfection cultivators, the possibility is still small.”

Mo Yuanfeng said in a low voice.

"Your success depends on your character, and your failure also depends on your character. Junior brother, your journey has been too smooth, and you have not tempered your mind enough, so you failed at the stage of the inner demon tribulation."

He sighed.

"I'll go see Senior Brother Wan when his spirit and soul are better."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly and said.

The two chatted for a while, and then Mo Yuanfeng said goodbye and left.

Lu Xuan was feeling disappointed as he sat in the courtyard, overlooking the countless subtle sword energy whistling through the sea of ​​clouds below. "For me, Senior Brother Wan's experience of failing to break through this time can be regarded as a warning."

"Lack of mental training..."

"I have been staying in the cave for many years to cultivate spiritual plants. I rarely go out to explore secret places. I have not used life-and-death dangers to temper my will and state of mind. I don't know if this will become a major obstacle in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage."

He thought back to the hundred years since he first harvested the light ball.

Except for very few times or when he had to explore secret realms, he had never been in danger. It can be said that he was always cautious to the highest level.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. Although you won't encounter any danger, you will lack the training in fighting skills, willpower, etc.

"However, not going out to explore and travel, and not fighting life and death, does not mean that one's resolve is not strong enough."

"I have stayed in that Red Dust Monument for a long time and experienced countless joys and sorrows. My mental state is not weaker than other cultivators of the same level."

"In addition, from the time I started practicing till now, I have always kept my original intention of seeking the truth, and I only wish to be a spiritual plant master who cultivates spiritual plants with peace of mind."

A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan's mouth.

"Finally, I have two seventh-grade treasures that can nourish the divine consciousness and strengthen the divine soul, the God-stealing Jade and the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow."

"After nurturing more spiritual consciousness in the God-stealing Jade, you can try to enter the so-called Huangliang Township."

The more spiritual awareness he has, the greater the chance of escaping Huangliang Township unscathed. With the guidance of the Huangliang Jade Pillow, Lu Xuan has enough confidence to venture into the legendary Huangliang Township.

Soon, a year passed.

During this period, he basically focused on two things: cultivating spiritual plants and preparing for the Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Everything is developing step by step.

That day, he came to the cave where Wanchong of Chongxu Sword Peak was located.

"Senior Brother Zhou?"

Outside the cave, before Lu Xuan informed Wan Chong, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

It was Zhou Chao, who had briefly lived with Wanzhong in Liyang Taoist Sect. He also entered the perfect state of Jindan at an early age, but his attitude towards cultivation was different from Wanzhong's.

Zhou Chao has an indifferent and serious temperament. He puts all his attention on spiritual practice. He is a real spiritual practice fanatic.

In addition, Lu Xuan kept his distance from Senior Brother Zhou, so this was the first time the two met in all these years since they returned to the Sword Sect.

"Junior Brother Lu."

Zhou Chao twitched the corner of his mouth and spoke in a hoarse voice, and it was obvious that he seldom communicated with others on weekdays.

After the two of them communicated with each other, Wan Chong quickly came out to greet them.

"Junior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Lu, why are you here?"

"I came over to drink a few cups of spirit wine with Senior Brother Wan, and I just happened to run into Senior Brother Zhou."

Lu Xuan shook the wine jug in his hand and said with a smile.

"That's perfect, let's get drunk and forget our worries!"

Wan Zhong laughed heartily.

He had a small golden bell tied around his waist. The surface of the bell had cracks of varying lengths and thicknesses, giving it an ancient and mottled feel. It was unknown how many years old it had been.

As it swayed gently, a clear and long bell sound could be heard occasionally. The sound echoed for a long time and entered the sea of ​​consciousness, as if soothing all the confusion and trauma deep in the soul.

"This is a rare treasure that Chongxu Sword Master lent me. It is of great benefit to cultivators whose souls have been severely damaged. Carrying it with you at all times can nourish your soul and help it heal as soon as possible."

Wan Chong saw the two of them glance at the ancient bell on their waists and explained with a smile.

Although his expression was still as carefree as usual, Lu Xuan caught a glimpse of a hint of gloom that occasionally appeared in his brows.

"Two brothers, why are you still standing at the door? Come in and have a few drinks, or my spirit wine will evaporate."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.
