Chapter 1291 The Blood Nether Seal's Grand Project

Soon, his divine sense locked onto a blood-red vine.

The vines were wrapped with a faint black light, and occasional soft thunder rumbled, which was the eighth-grade spiritual plant, the Blood Nether Thunder Gourd.

"Some of the bone-corroding Yin Thunder that nourished the Blood Nether Thunder Gourd still remains; we just need to accelerate its ripening."

“In addition to accelerating the growth of spiritual plants, ninth-grade spiritual plants also require various harsh conditions, so let’s accelerate the growth of this Blood Nether Thunder Gourd first.”

Lu Xuan made a decision in his heart, and a pair of silver-white wings flashing with lightning unfolded behind him, instantly arriving in front of the Blood Nether Lightning Gourd.

With a thought, the remaining seven drops of Creation Dew appeared before him.

A drop of divine dew quietly landed on the blood-red vine.

Instantly, the black and red lightning on the vines crackled and sizzled, moving wildly like countless long snakes.

Concentrating one's mind on the Blood Nether Thunder Gourd, one can see the semi-transparent progress bar below advancing at a visible speed.

Then, the second drop.

A vibrant red blood flower bloomed on the vine.

The third drop.

A small gourd, radiating pure blood-red light, gradually emerged, greedily absorbing the rich vitality from the Dew of Creation.

The fourth drop.

As the Blood Nether Thunder Gourd drew closer to maturity, Lu Xuan, observing the progress bar below, decided not to waste the fifth drop of Creation Dew and took out the Divine Wood Green Pot and Wood Spirit Juice.

Endless pale green spiritual energy from the plants flowed into the Blood Nether Lightning Gourd. After consuming a full six drops of Wood Spirit Juice, the semi-transparent progress bar below finally reached its maximum.

Lu Xuan suppressed his inner joy and carefully picked the Blood Nether Thunder Gourd.

In my divine sense, the blood-red gourd contained an extremely insidious blood-red lightning bolt. Once the physical body came into contact with it, it would instantly be turned into blood. At the same time, it had an extremely strong ability to corrupt magical artifacts and the soul.

Before he could examine it closely, his gaze was drawn to the white orb that appeared.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the ball of light. In an instant, countless tiny points of light exploded like fireworks, bursting into an endless rain of light. In a flash, they condensed into a river of light with a faint red glow, which quickly entered Lu Xuan's body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Obtained an 8th-grade Blood Nether Thunder Gourd and acquired the secret technique Blood Nether Seal.]

A blood-red hand appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Xuan, its blood-red light so intense that it almost dyed the area within a hundred feet in a crimson hue.

The moment the blood palm appeared, Lu Xuan felt his blood boil instantly, as if it were about to detach from his body and merge into the blood palm.

"This Blood Palm is a bit eerie."

He suppressed his boiling blood and focused his mind on it, instantly learning detailed information about the blood-red hand.

[The Blood Netherworld Seal is the secret technique of the ancient evil sect, the Netherworld Sect. It is made by collecting the essence blood of countless high-level cultivators and demonic beasts and refining it using secret methods. It can devour the essence blood of all living beings and can instantly corrode a cultivator's physical body and soul. It has an extremely strong ability to defile Nascent Soul cultivators and magic treasures. The more essence blood it devours, the stronger its power becomes. When cultivated to its peak, it can instantly reduce a Nascent Soul cultivator to nothingness.]

"What a vicious secret technique!"

Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Previously, in order to cultivate those underworld spiritual plants, the Fangcun Book also stored the essence blood of many high-level demon beasts, which can be put to good use now."

"However, as a true disciple of the Sword Sect, it is not appropriate for me to use such evil magic, so I handed over the Blood Nether Seal and the Blood Nether Thunder Gourd to the White Lotus incarnation."

"Since he has already practiced the Netherworld Sect's 'Netherworld True Water Forbidden Technique,' another Blood Netherworld Seal wouldn't be bad."

Lu Xuan smiled and nodded. The white lotus avatar, which had been cultivating and refining magic treasures, instantly appeared in front of him, initially refined the Blood Netherworld Seal, and absorbed it into his body.

"At the eighth grade level, the only way to win with the Divine Wood Green Pot and Wood Spirit Juice is through quantity."

He recalled the consumption of the Divine Wood Green Pot and Wood Spirit Juice, and sighed inwardly.

Currently, there are still three drops of Grade 8 Creation Dew, a wisp of Grade 8 Profound Natural Secret Qi, and a ball of Grade 9 Mother Spirit Essence of All Things left. Although it sounds extremely impressive, it is nothing compared to the Grade 8 and Grade 9 spiritual plants he has planted.

After cultivating the numerous spiritual plants in his personal space, Lu Xuan returned to his cave.

Sitting cross-legged on the nine-tiered lotus platform, my mind instantly became peaceful and calm. A cool aura flowed through my limbs and bones, finally gathering in the depths of my consciousness.

In an instant, his mind became more active than ever before, as if he could understand all the world's problems.

It was the residual effect of the Bodhi of Enlightenment that had been taken earlier.

With the assistance of the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform and his profound understanding of thunder magic, his comprehension of the Innate Wind and Thunder Escape technique, which is also an incomplete high-level divine ability, is faster than his original Universe in the Sleeve.

Time always flies when cultivating spiritual plants and practicing supernatural powers.

On this day, Lu Xuan was invited to Hundred Crafts Sword Peak to attend a small gathering of Nascent Soul cultivators.

He knew most of the Nascent Soul cultivators present, and the few he had never met before became much more enthusiastic upon hearing his name.

The Dongxuan Sword Sect is renowned for its mastery of spiritual plants, capable of vying for the title of the strongest logistics expert in history. Everyone within the sect knows this.

"Have you all heard that something big is about to happen in the sect?"

Li Xuanchen said with a mysterious expression.

As an elder of the Sword Palace and a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he naturally had access to more and faster information than other cultivators.

"What important matter is it? Please tell me in detail, Senior Brother Li."

A middle-aged cultivator from Chunyang Sword Peak asked curiously.

"As demons and monsters become increasingly rampant, the area around the Sword Sect's territory is no longer peaceful, and countless cultivators have perished as a result."

"Therefore, the sect plans to join forces with ten large sects in the surrounding realms to take the initiative and jointly eliminate and wipe out the demons lurking in the vicinity, restoring peace to all realms."

Li Xuanchen said solemnly.

"Eleven major sects? Are they led by my Sword Sect?"

"Of course, what other sect besides the Sword Sect could take on this responsibility?"

Li Xuanchen's tone carried the unique pride of a Sword Sect cultivator.

"How exactly will the demon-slaying plan be implemented?"

"Representatives will be sent by the major sword summits. In addition, sword sect cultivators are allowed to sign up voluntarily, provided their cultivation level is not lower than the Core Formation stage."

"Demons and monsters may be strange and dangerous, but they are also full of treasures, and we can also gain excellent training opportunities. I wonder if any fellow disciples would be willing to sign up with me to slay demons and monsters?"

Chen Bingxue of Baigongjian Peak asked with a smile.

"That's what I mean."

"I am willing to go with my senior brother."

In an instant, several Nascent Soul cultivators echoed this sentiment.

"Junior Brother Lu, are you still planning to stay in the cave as before?"

Li Xuanchen asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples smiled knowingly.

Having known each other for many years, everyone was well aware of Lu Xuan's character, but out of courtesy, the proper procedures still had to be followed.

"My fellow disciples all know me well. I am not good at fighting, and I have little contact with demons. It would be best if I didn't join in the fun."

Lu Xuan sat motionless to the side and casually remarked.

"Excellent, excellent! If Junior Brother Lu goes out, I'll be worried about not having any Green Lotus Wine to drink!"

Li Xuanchen nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile.

After exchanging the latest news and cultivation insights from the cultivation world, the group departed.

Lu Xuan returned to his cave and entered the Sword Grass Spirit Field area.

Having tasted the benefits of improving the sixth-grade Killing Prison Suppressing Sword Grass, he persisted in practicing the Color Embryo Sword Sheath day and night, using the Thunder Sound Sword Grass and Thunder Abyss Sword Grass as prototypes. However, progress was slow, and it took several years to obtain some mutated spirit seeds. It would still be some time before he could improve a new sixth-grade sword grass spirit seed.

"The Yuanling Ginseng is almost ripe."

After cultivating numerous sword herbs, Lu Xuan arrived at a nearby spirit field.

The rich spiritual energy in the spiritual field seemed to materialize, transforming into a thick white mist that enveloped the area above.

"This time, we planted over a hundred Yuanling Ginseng plants, which should yield a large amount of cultivation rewards. Breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage is just around the corner."

"It's about time to prepare the spiritual items needed for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

He already possesses a flawless spiritual body, and with the protection of his identity as a true disciple of the sword, even if he breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage recently, he will not attract too many inconspicuous glances.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the wedding date that Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang set is fast approaching.

The Chen family cultivators arrived at Sword Abyss City outside the Sword Sect.

The leader, with his white hair and beard and refined demeanor, gazed in the direction of the Dongxuan Sword Sect with a complex expression.

It was Chen Qingshuang's former patriarch, Chen Yuqiu, who had visited the Sword Sect decades ago and, by chance, received help from Lu Xuan to solve a major problem that threatened the family.

He has aged considerably compared to then.

"Third Uncle, are you recalling the glorious days of our Chen family ancestors in the Dongxuan Sword Sect?"

A dignified-looking middle-aged Core Formation cultivator approached Chen Yuqiu from behind and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, but not entirely."

"It's just a pity about the ups and downs of the Chen family over the years. After Qing Shuang became a disciple of that Nascent Soul expert in the Sword Sect, the Chen family, which had been silent for many years, finally saw a glimmer of hope."

"Not long after Qing Shuang formed his core, you followed suit and successfully formed your own core, thus setting the Chen family on the road to revival."

"All of this is thanks to that great man."

Chen Yuqiu said with deep emotion.

“I understand. I’m here today to take advantage of Qing Shuang’s wedding to show my face in front of her master.”

Chen Haifeng lowered his head and said that although he was the current head of the Chen family, he was extremely respectful in front of Chen Yuqiu and dared not lose the slightest bit of manners.

"I heard that the person who officiated at Qing Shuang's wedding was that very senior. What an honor!"

Every time he thought of this news, he couldn't contain his excitement.

"This shows how much the senior values ​​Qing Shuang. I hope Qing Shuang will not disappoint him."

Chen Yuqiu felt honored. He straightened his expression, restrained the Chen family members who had come with him, and waited quietly for the Dongxuan Sword Sect to send someone to welcome them.

The following day, a group of Chen family cultivators arrived outside the Sword Sect and were deeply shocked by the terrifying power of the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Formation.

Suddenly, a beam of white light shot out from inside the sword formation and stopped in front of everyone.

It was a majestic white ape wielding a dark gold staff, with crimson eyes.

"What a wicked attitude..."

Chen Haifeng was secretly furious.

"Are you Junior Sister Chen's great-uncle, and a member of the Chen clan?"

The person who came out to greet them was none other than Lu Xuan's chief steward, the White Jade Sky-Supporting Ape.

"It's actually a transformed demon beast!"

Chen Haifeng swallowed back the dissatisfaction that was on the tip of his tongue.

Initially, when they saw Lu Xuan send out a demonic beast to greet them, they had some reservations, feeling that it was disrespectful to the Chen family. However, when they saw the white ape speaking human language, those reservations vanished instantly.

"This is a seventh-grade demonic beast! That's equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"This isn't disrespectful at all, it's incredibly respectful!!"

The Chen family was flattered.

"We are members of the Azure Frost Clan. May I ask who you are...?"

Chen Yuqiu was the first to react, and asked with his hands clasped in respect.

"I am the master's guardian spirit beast. I am responsible for all the big and small matters in the master's cave."

"Qing Shuang usually calls me Senior Brother."

The white ape held a very high position within the cave, and having already broken through to the seventh rank, Chen Qingshuang and the other two would greet it with utmost respect whenever they saw it.

"So it's Senior Brother Qing Shuang. This old man greets you, sir."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuqiu bowed respectfully, followed closely by a group of Chen family members.

"My master has important business to attend to. You may all follow me into the Sword Sect."

The white ape brandished its dark gold staff and casually remarked.

Chen Yuqiu and the others followed through the sect's protective formation and chose a courtyard on Zhenhuan Sword Peak to await the wedding day.

Seven days passed quickly, and the wedding day of Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang arrived.

During this time, the white ape arranged everything perfectly, and Lu Xuan found some free time to meet Chen Yuqiu in the cave.

On this day, led by the white ape, the group arrived in front of a magnificent palace on True Sword Peak.

The palace was already fully decorated, surrounded by auspicious clouds, with cranes flying and flowers blooming, creating a festive atmosphere.

Chen Yuqiu and the others entered the main hall, and as soon as they entered, they discovered that the hall was extraordinary.

"More than ten Core Formation cultivators, it seems they're all there to serve the guests later?"

Feeling the powerful auras of the dozen or so inner disciples in the main hall, the Chen family members couldn't help but feel ashamed of their own inferiority.

The entire Chen family mobilized all its resources to send only two Core Formation cultivators to support Chen Qing Shuang, but unexpectedly, there were more than ten Core Formation cultivators serving guests at the wedding.

"When did Core Formation cultivators become so worthless?"

Chen Yuqiu didn't think her grandniece had that much influence.

"It can only be because of that senior's face."

"These are... Grade 5 spirit fruits? Just piled up like this on the table?"

One of the Chen family members noticed the lotus seeds and other items on the table used to entertain guests. After sensing the aura contained within the spiritual fruit, he was greatly shocked.

Such a rare spiritual fruit is something that even Core Formation cultivators like Chen Yuqiu and Chen Haifeng rarely have the opportunity to taste. Yet here it is as common as wild fruit on the mountain.

"Calm down, calm down! Don't act like a country bumpkin who's never seen the world."

"If you have the chance to taste it later, don't panic and let the spiritual energy inside the fruit overwhelm you."

A respected elder of the Chen family swallowed hard and whispered a reminder to his family members.

"Also, what is this spirit brew? Why does the smell of it make me feel like the bottleneck in my swordsmanship is loosening?"

A member of the Chen family pointed to the bottles of spirit wine on the table, his voice filled with barely suppressed surprise.

The silver-gray spirit wine shimmered with a faint light, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be strands of extremely fine sword light.

"A fifth-grade spiritual brew that can enhance swordsmanship! And a fifth-grade spiritual fruit!"

"Senior Lu has really gone all out this time!"

Chen Yuqiu looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
