Chapter 956: Chapter 954 Heart Sword Lake Opens

“Uncle Master, I want a Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourd!”

“Uncle Master, reserve one for me!”

After a young Foundation Establishment cultivator left, several Sword Sect disciples who were watching crowded around.

Although they coveted the Fifth Rank Treasure on the stall, their limited resources, along with the fact that the Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourds were more suitable for them at this time, led them to quickly purchase all four gourds.

Among them, one gourd was bought by three Qi Cultivation disciples pooling together.

The trio huddled and took a while to collect one hundred and ten sword marks, then approached the stall to ask if Lu Xuan could accept Spirit Stones for the remaining amount.

...

Seeing their plight, Lu Xuan agreed to the deal for one hundred ten sword marks.

His visit to the Dongxuan Sword Sect this time wasn’t with many treasures like Sword Charms; most were left in the grocery store.

The seven Xiao Dongxuan Sword Gourds sold out quickly, and more and more Sword Sect disciples were drawn to this stall.

“Senior Brother, where do these two Fifth Rank Sword Charms come from? It’s Sister’s first time seeing them,” a gentle-tempered woman approached the stall, pointing to the True Evil Sword Charm and the Xuan Yin Sword Charm and asked Lu Xuan.

“The one with a strong evil aura is called True Evil Sword Charm. It releases Sword Qi carrying a thick malevolent aura, causing a strong invasion and impact on cultivators’ divine souls, which can momentarily daze the opponent’s mind.”

“The other is the Xuan Yin Sword Charm, hiding pure Yin Qi within its Sword Qi. Its sinister and toxic nature catches one off guard.”

Lu Xuan explained in detail.

“How much are they selling for?”

Curiosity flickered across the gentle woman’s face as she spoke.

“Three hundred fifty sword marks each, and the price is firm,” Lu Xuan said calmly.

The woman hesitated. While the price for a Fifth Rank Sword Charm was quite high, according to Lu Xuan, both charms were extremely potent and could even save her life in critical moments.

“I’ll buy one True Evil Sword Charm.”

After pondering, she decided to purchase one of them.

“Very well.”

On the stall, a True Evil Sword Charm suddenly leaped up and floated in front of the woman.

“Senior Brother, what is the origin of this treasure?”

A tall and burly middle-aged man approached the stall, pointing to the Thundering Sword Gall.

The surface of the Thundering Sword Gall extended many fine silver-white spikes, fluctuating indeterminately, carrying a sharp Sword Intent.

Inside, countless hair-thin glimmers could be seen, which were actually fine streams of thunderous Sword Intent converging.

“This is the Thundering Sword Gall. I acquired it by chance from a Secret Land. It’s a special Fifth Rank Sword Dao treasure.”

“Once refined, it can release the internal thunder Sword Intent to temper a cultivator’s Sword Dao heart, slightly enhancing the cultivator’s inherent Sword Dao talent over time.”

Lu Xuan spoke slowly.

“It can slightly enhance Sword Dao talent?”

The crowd was astounded.

There were many sword cultivators in the Sword Sect, and they naturally understood the significance of Lu Xuan’s words.

The path of cultivation was such that if you don’t advance, you regress, notably so in the Sword Dao.

If it were possible to slightly enhance one’s Sword Dao talent, then during future cultivation, one might progress a bit faster than other fellow disciples, and over the years, it could result in a considerable gap.

“How many sword marks is this Thundering Sword Gall?”

The middle-aged man asked tremulously.

His remaining lifespan wasn’t much, and using the Thundering Sword Gall himself seemed somewhat wasteful.

But using it on his daughter was different.

His daughter was still young with much potential. If she refined this treasure, her above-average Sword Dao talent could gradually rise to a high level, making her future cultivation path much smoother.

“If Junior Brother is interested, four hundred twenty sword marks,” Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“Agreed!”

The middle-aged cultivator replied immediately.

“Senior Brother, for this Thundering Sword Gall, I am willing to offer…”

A streak of light shot from over a hundred yards away, and an urgent voice reached Lu Xuan’s ears.

“Sorry, I have already made a deal with this Junior Brother.”

Before the figure within the streak of light could finish, a hint of apology appeared on Lu Xuan’s face as he handed the Thundering Sword Gall to the middle-aged “Cultivator.”

“Alright, I was a bit too slow.”

The light faded, revealing a helpless expression on a young man’s face, who saw that the Thundering Sword Gall had already changed hands and could only bow respectfully to Lu Xuan.

“Senior Brother, this is my Communication Talisman. If there are any more Thundering Sword Galls available, could you please inform me first?”

“No problem.”

Lu Xuan laughed. Within the Sword Sect, he wasn’t worried about conflict with fellow disciples over a Thundering Sword Gall, especially since maintaining a good reputation was crucial for future business within the sect.

Therefore, even though the young man was willing to offer a higher price, once he had agreed to the middle-aged “Cultivator”, he would not change his mind.

After selling the Thundering Sword Gall, the remaining Fourth Grade Sword Symbols and True Sword Liquid were sold out in no time.

The price for a Fourth Grade Sword Symbol was less than a hundred Sword Marks, and a bottle of True Sword Liquid was sold for nearly 300 Sword Marks.

“Knowing this, I should have brought more Swordsmanship Treasures from the Heavenly Star Cave.”

In less than an hour, Lu Xuan left with an unsatisfied feeling from his stall.

With this first attempt, he had earned over three thousand Sword Marks, almost enough to buy three Sixth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds.

However, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to visit the Spiritual Plant Hall again.

Sixth Grade Sword Grass, although valuable, paled in comparison to the Seventh Grade.

Currently, in his cave abode, he had several Sixth Grade Sword Grass plants but not a single Seventh Grade one, and he was quite looking forward to the Light Cluster reward of the Seventh Grade Sword Grass.

“Junior Brother Lu, you’re finally back.”

“This White Ape has been guarding the entrance of the cave abode, preventing me from entering.”

As Lu Xuan returned to his cave abode, he saw Mo Yuanfeng standing outside, with Little White Ape holding a Magic Artifact staff, staring intently at him.

“Senior Brother Mo, I was wandering around the Sect, and the Spirit Beast doesn’t know any better. Please forgive its ignorance,” Lu Xuan said as he pretended to scold Little White Ape a bit and hurriedly invited Mo Yuanfeng into the cave abode.

“I came today to tell you some great news,” Mo Yuanfeng said with a smile.

“Oh? Please do tell, Senior Brother.”

Lu Xuan was somewhat intrigued, knowing that something significant must have brought this Nascent Soul Realm True Sword Disciple here.

“The Heart Sword Lake of our Sect is about to open, and Junior Brother Lu, you are qualified to enter.”

“Will there be Fortuitous Treasure Items in Heart Sword Lake?”

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

“Of course.”

“Heart Sword Lake is a Divine Mysterious Treasure Land of our Sect, nurturing countless treasures within.”

“In its outer layer, there is a special Sword Aura Elixir formed from condensed Sword Qi, which greatly benefits the growth of various Sword Grass.”

“Further into the Heart Sword Lake, various mysterious Swordsmanship Treasures will appear.”

“There are Sword Spirits bred from the treasure land, each possessing miraculous effects.”

“Additionally, the deepest part of Heart Sword Lake serves as the burial ground for the remains of past Nascent Soul True Monarchs and other elders of the Sword Sect, where their residual Sword Intent mixes with the lake’s central Sword Qi, forming peculiar treasures such as Sword Bones and Sword Spirits.”

“Incorporating Sword Bones into Flying Swords can enhance their quality, while Sword Spirits are superior materials for crafting Low Rank or even Middle Rank Magical Treasures, each bearing immense value.”

“Each Sword Peak has a different number of disciples eligible to enter Heart Sword Lake, and the competition both between and within Sword Peaks is extremely fierce. This time, only seven disciples from our Huanzhen Sword Peak have the qualifications.”

“Junior Brother, if you manage to obtain one or two items in Heart Sword Lake, that will already be considered as having profound fortune,” Mo Yuanfeng said gravely.

“I dare not, Senior Brother. I’m not adept at combat techniques; how can I compete with so many exceptional talents from the Sect?”

“Getting some Sword Aura Elixir to cultivate various Sword Grass will already make me quite content,” Lu Xuan said with a smile.
