I PRACTICE FARMING WHILE THE REST CULTIVATES

Chapter 957: Chapter 955: Diverting Currents, Sword Tassel Fish

“Junior Brother Lu is being modest,” Mo Yuanfeng said with a slight smile.

“Whether one can obtain various Swordsmanship Treasures in Heart Sword Lake mainly depends on two aspects,”

“One is Cultivation Realm, and the other is the level of proficiency in Sword Dao, the rest depends on the different disciples’ talents and methods.”

“Some Inner Sect Disciples, being of Innate Sword Body, have a terrifying affinity for Sword Dao and will naturally take to Heart Sword Lake like fish to water.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother, for informing me. I understand now,” Lu Xuan acknowledged with a slight nod.

The fact that he had access to Heart Sword Lake was not only due to the favor of the True Sword Master but also inseparable from his Golden Core Late Stage Realm.

…

As for his proficiency in Sword Dao, after cultivating a large amount of Sword Grass and absorbing a good number of Sword Intent Experience Packages, he considered himself not inferior to most Sword Sect Disciples.

“By the way, Junior Brother Lu, this Lake of Intercepted Desires Sword Hilt is for you.” Mo Yuanfeng took out a deep cyan sword hilt and handed it to Lu Xuan.

The surface of the sword hilt seemed to ripple with deep green waves, lacking a sword blade but continuously emitting and absorbing Invisible Sword Qi.

“The Heart Lake Sword Hilt has several uses; you may rely on it to enter Heart Sword Lake,”

“Once inside, it can also guide your direction to avoid getting lost in the endless Sword Aura waters.”

“Furthermore, although Heart Sword Lake isn’t extremely dangerous, I can’t guarantee absolute safety since some Sword Spirits or Sword Spirits, for instance, still possess a certain degree of aggression.”

“If disciples target the same Treasure Item, friction is also inevitable.”

“Should you encounter danger, you may fully unleash the special Sword Qi within the Heart Lake Sword Hilt, and an elder will come to your assistance.”

“Of course, you only have one opportunity; once the Sword Qi is activated, the hilt will become a common object and you won’t be able to search for Swordsmanship Treasures in Heart Sword Lake anymore.” Mo Yuanfeng patiently explained.

Following that, he tediously shared with Lu Xuan various cautionary points about entering Heart Sword Lake, minor tips on seeking treasure, and so on.

Finally, with Lu Xuan’s continuous gratitude, he took his leave.

Time flew by, and before long, the day to enter Heart Sword Lake arrived.

Lu Xuan and six other Inner Sect Disciples from Huanzhen Sword Peak arrived at the gathering spot together.

While waiting, he took the opportunity to get to know the six individuals.

The six were already aware of Lu Xuan’s background, thus their attitude towards him was very friendly.

As the number of Sword Sect Disciples arriving at the gathering point grew, it quickly reached around a hundred people.

“Huanzhen Sword Peak only has seven people, while the peak with the most has over twenty. It seems that there is quite a gap between the peaks,” Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Each peak’s disciples wore slightly different Standard Daoist Robes, making them easy to identify.

No sooner had he looked around than a bolt of Sword Light surged over like thunder, revealing the figure of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator.

“Congratulations to you all on obtaining the qualifications to enter Heart Sword Lake. I hope that you all find the treasures you desire,” said the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator with a stern expression.

Following that, he slashed downward with one hand, creating a massive fissure in the ground surrounded by powerful Prohibitions and Restrictions. Inside, countless Sword Qi could be seen attempting to break free from their constraints.

“The entry point this time is said to be deep within Heart Sword Lake,” Lu Xuan thought to himself.

In his Cave Abode, there was a special passage to Heart Sword Lake, but it only led to the outermost part. Without the Sword Sect’s permission, it was tough to enter the central area.

“Just jump in,” the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator said as he released the Prohibitions and Restrictions, addressing the crowd.

Over a hundred Sword Sect Disciples jumped into the rift without hesitation.

Lu Xuan naturally joined their ranks.

Whoosh whoosh~

A very strange sound of flowing water reached his ears, and Lu Xuan opened his eyes, curiously observing his surroundings.

He was enveloped by emerald-green lake water from all directions, and what was originally a gentle stream now gave him a sense of sharpness, causing a slight prickling pain on his skin.

Lu Xuan operated his spiritual power, his bones turning a pale gold color, repelling the pervasive, tiny Sword Qi.

“Is this the Heart Sword Lake? Is the water all around Sword Aura Elixir?”

He thought to himself.

He then used the Water Escape Technique, regretfully finding that his speed was considerably slower than normal.

A thought crossed Lu Xuan’s mind, and he stimulated his sword technique. Suddenly, the water around him seemed to explode, becoming much more lively.

“The lake water contains countless Sword Auras and Sword Intents, but it’s a pity that the quality is only average, about equal to a Second Grade Spiritual Liquid. However, considering the vastness of Heart Sword Lake, having it all be Second Grade Spiritual Liquid is quite terrifying.”

He filled a few bottles with ordinary Sword Aura Elixir, deciding to collect more thoroughly.

“Logically speaking, as a supreme treasure ground of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, there must be higher quality Sword Aura Elixir in Heart Sword Lake, it’s just a matter of finding the method.”

Lu Xuan swam slowly through the lake water, following the guidance of the Heart Lake sword hilt and heading deeper.

“The flow of this patch of water seems a bit off.”

He stopped, a profound star in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness radiating a faint spiritual light, his Spiritual Sense spreading rapidly.

“As I thought, there’s another mystery here.”

Lu Xuan’s heart leaped with joy. With his acute Spiritual Sense, he discovered an extremely subtle, hidden current of Sword Aura Elixir in the lake.

With one thought, hundreds of invisible Sword Qi raced towards the current.

The Phantom Light Sword Aura, already known for its unpredictability, became even more concealed, quietly intercepting the hidden current.

Streams of Sword Qi raced back and forth, weaving into an invisible Sword Qi net, trapping the current that tried to rush through, but it was in vain—it could not break free from the net.

The net slowly tightened, and at last, a ball of dark green Spiritual Liquid appeared within it.

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense probed into the Spiritual Liquid, and he was met by numerous tiny Sword Qi, far more concentrated than ordinary Sword Aura Elixir.

“So, one has to collect the superior Sword Aura Elixir themselves.”

He was thrilled, placing the dark green Spiritual Liquid into a magic bottle and sealing it with a Charm.

After discovering the existence of the hidden current, he did not rush to delve deeper into the heart of Heart Sword Lake.

For him, this high-quality Sword Aura Elixir was no less valuable than some Sword-related treasures, perfect for cultivating Sword Grass Spirit Plants.

Afterward, he relied on his sensitive Spiritual Sense, far surpassing that of his Same-level Cultivators, to find several hidden currents at the bottom of the lake and collected them one by one.

“Huh? What’s that?”

As he was searching for the currents of Sword Qi, he suddenly detected something strange approaching rapidly from a hundred yards away.

“It has a presence equivalent to an Early Core Formation stage Cultivator.”

After sensing the other’s presence, he felt much relieved. His palm turned pale gold, and he swiftly grabbed the slender, odd fish.

The monster fish had an extremely bizarre shape, its body dark black, as if it were made of a long, thin black thread.

After Lu Xuan grabbed it, its body disintegrated on its own, instantly forming a black line that violently shook, flinging strands of tiny Sword Qi at Lu Xuan.

“Still trying to escape.”

Lu Xuan, of course, would not let it go, his palm turning into a series of afterimages, grabbing the black line monster fish once again.

“This must be the Sword Tassel Fish that Senior Brother Mo mentioned; some sword tassels from Flying Sword Magical Treasures that stayed in Heart Sword Lake for many years slowly developed a hint of spiritual nature, forming this unique monster.”

He thought to himself, releasing a drop of Sword Aura Elixir into the black line.
