Chapter 833: Dongxuan Sword Intent, Nine Confucian Treasure Tree Matures

Lu Xuan stared at the white light cluster hanging on the vine and reached out to touch it gently.

In an instant, the light cluster transformed into countless tiny dots of light that rapidly condensed into a small sword shadow before merging into Lu Xuan’s body.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Harvested a Fourth Grade Dongxuan Sword Gourd, obtained the treasure item Dongxuan Sword Intent.]

As the thought disappeared, a hazy Sword Intent surged within Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

Wherever the Sword Intent passed, everything became crystal clear, giving Lu Xuan an intense feeling of insight into all things.

...

[Dongxuan Sword Intent, only the most talented disciples of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, upon studying the”Dongxuan Sword Scripture”, could comprehend this powerful Sword Intent.]

[Sword Intent can greatly enhance swordsmanship’s lethality and is capable of discerning all sorts of flaws and loopholes in the world, annihilating enemies in one fell swoop.]

[After cultivating the Dongxuan Sword Intent within the body to a certain strength, Sword Tao geniuses can nurture Dongxuan Sword seeds.]

“Dongxuan Sword Intent...”

“Although it doesn’t have a specific rank, from its description, it must be an extremely rare treasure.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

“To nurture more Sword Intents can actually give rise to Dongxuan Sword seeds?”

“I wonder what the origin of those Sword seeds is since they require a substantial amount of Dongxuan Sword Intent to be nurtured.”

He felt a bit curious, but having only stayed in a branch of the Dongxuan Sword Sect for a short time, he knew nothing of such important secrets.

“Once my cultivation level is more profound, I’ll be able to visit the Dongxuan Realm and see if I can find an opportunity to learn more about those Dongxuan Sword seeds.”

Thinking this, Lu Xuan put the first matured Dongxuan Sword Gourd into his storage bag.

A Fourth Grade Sword Gourd was not very useful for him, about to breakthrough to the late stage of Core Formation, but if put in the Grocery Store, it could still fetch a good price in Spirit Stones.

The Third Grade Jian Hu Gourd was popular among many cultivators in the Star Plucking Building, not to mention the Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd with a higher grade and stronger Sword Qi.

For the remaining Azure Green Sword Gourds, which were just a bit away from maturity, Lu Xuan didn’t rush to hasten their growth and patiently waited.

The spiritual energy of plants and trees in the Divine Wood Green Pot could only be used at critical moments; normally, he would just infuse it with Qingmu Origin Energy.

One day, while Lu Xuan was cultivating spiritual plants in the Spirit Field, a Jindan Cultivator clad in heavy armor, leading several Foundation Establishment Late-term Cultivators, arrived outside the Cave Abode.

“It turns out to be Daoist Zheng.”

Lu Xuan greeted him with a smile.

In his speech, he subtly complimented the armored cultivator.

Not long after Lu Xuan learned of this news, the matter of Evil Demons appearing in the Sky Star Cave swiftly spread and soon came to be known by other cultivators.

Whenever he occasionally went out to interact with other cultivators, he could hardly avoid this topic.

Yet he maintained the persona of an ordinary Spirit Plant Master very well, without expressing too many of his own opinions.

“Friend Lu, I have just invited a few fellow Daoists with the intention of heading to the Secret Lands where traces of the Evil Demons have been found. We plan to search for and hunt them in exchange for Spirit Stones and treasure items.”

“Although I understand that you have always disliked exploring Secret Lands, I still wanted to give it a try.”

“Everyone going is well-acquainted. Friend Lu can rest assured,” a handsome young man approached Lu Xuan and inquired.

Lu Xuan, naturally, declined politely as he always had.

After the gathering ended, he quickly returned to his Cave Abode.

Upon activating the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array, Lu Xuan immediately felt a greater sense of security.

“The newly matured Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourds still need some time,” he noted as he passed through the area of the Sword Grass Spirit Field, cultivating both the Star Shifting Sun and Moon Sword Grass and the numerous Thousand Thunder Sword Grasses carefully, then sweeping over all the Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourds with his Spiritual Sense.

As he was in the midst of Nourishing through the Spirit Rain Technique for the Sword Grass Spirit Plants, suddenly, a Treasure Light shot up towards the sky in the Core Spirit Field Area, but due to the restraints of the Formations Restrictions, it didn’t cause much of a stir.

“That direction... could it be that the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree is showing activity?” Lu Xuan’s face revealed a hint of joy.

The Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant had been cultivated for many years, and it seemed that today it would finally bloom and bear fruit.

Hong Qinghai had been reciting poetry and scriptures by the Side of the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree and the Buddha Sitting Lotus, providing the trees with a rich cultural ambiance conducive to their growth.

Lu Xuan bypassed the Prohibitions and Restrictions to arrive at the Spirit Field Area where the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree was located.

Hong Qinghai had already been waiting at the exit of the prohibitions, his eyes filled with visible tension.

Upon seeing Lu Xuan, he immediately came forward.

“Senior Lu, this junior does not know why the treasure tree has caused such a commotion.”

“I got up early this morning, completed my cultivation, and recited poetry and scriptures to nourish the tree’s growth, as usual.”

“While reading an ancient text, I seemed to have a revelation. The spirit of my recitation burst forth suddenly, leading to an abnormal response from the treasure tree,” he explained to Lu Xuan.

“Don’t worry, the abnormal reaction of the treasure tree has little to do with you; it’s simply that it has matured,” Lu Xuan said soothingly to Hong Qinghai, instantly easing his mind. “Retire to one side for now; I’ll come to look for you after.”

“I will also make some arrangements for your future cultivation,” Lu Xuan added, with a gentle voice, relieving him further, and Hong Qinghai then retreated back to his stone dwelling for his daily cultivation.
