Chapter 1196 The road ahead is long and difficult

He did it as he thought. He immediately selected an area and buried the Dong Xuan Sword Monuments in the center. He also opened up a small pool with some useless sword treasures underneath. He took more than thirty swords from the cave. Come over here.

After thinking about it, he moved the sword tempering house to the portable space.

"The requirements for cultivating a sword spirit are too demanding. The most important thing is that it requires sword treasures like the Nine Heavens Thunder Tablet."

"These things arranged can only be regarded as preliminary preparations."

He was very patient and decided to take his time.

Afterwards, he stayed in his personal space and inspected the many high-level spiritual plants planted everywhere.

"There are more and more seventh-grade spiritual plants. There are already more than thirty."

"There are even many eighth-grade, ninth-grade, and innate spiritual root levels."

His consciousness swept across the portable space, and he had great expectations for these high-level spiritual plants.

"Kongchanmu is about to start a new round of molting."

"There are also ancient burning grass, leak-free spirit wood, and incense tree. They have been planted for many years, and they have all gradually entered the mature stage."

Lu Xuan sighed in his heart.

He didn't want to use the Taiyi Green Spiritual Liquid in his hand easily. The Demigod Wood Green Pot was in the stage of storing and transforming the spiritual energy of vegetation, so he was in no hurry to ripen these seventh-grade spiritual plants.

After nurturing it carefully, he returned to the cave.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, at Li Xuanchen's invitation, he went to the Sword Palace as a guest.

The internal space of the Sword Palace is endless, and the cave where Li Xuanchen lives is within it.

"Junior Brother Lu, long time no see."

"Haha, hello, senior brother, let's have a good drink today."

Lu Xuan smiled and handed over a few bottles of spiritual brew.

"Junior brother Lu, you are too low-key. You have gained so much limelight that it is difficult to see you in the Sword Sect."

Li Xuanchen laughed.

"Senior brother, how do you say this? Junior brother, I have been cultivating spiritual plants in the cave. I don't know what the big limelight refers to."

Lu Xuan asked in confusion.

"The Sword Peak Competition was held more than two months ago!"

Li Xuanchen emphasized.

"Thanks to your killing and prison-suppressing sword grass, junior brother, the ranking of Real Sword Peak has risen again by one place, reaching fifth place."

"Junior brother has made a great contribution in this!"

"I see……"

Lu Xuan looked as usual and nodded lightly.

"Junior brother's character is too stable."

Li Xuanchen couldn't help but say something when he saw Lu Xuan's unfazed and calm look.

“It’s been so long since we cultivated sword grass, there’s no need to rest on our past achievements.”

Lu Xuan chuckled.

"Junior brother is quite open-minded. He is a fellow disciple who has suffered from the other two Sword Peaks."

Li Xuanchen came over with a narrow smile on his face.

"I heard that the two great sword masters of Chunyang Sword Peak and Zixiao Sword Peak, who were ranked at the bottom of this competition, have used different methods to put pressure on some of their fellow Nascent Soul disciples in Sword Peak, asking them to find ways to succeed in the new cycle. Here, make a contribution to the Sword Sect so that the peace can be improved."

"Many Yuanying brothers are miserable and have to devote themselves to all aspects under pressure."

"My improved Sword Killing and Prison Suppressing Grass has made the Sword Sect more curly?"

Lu Xuan was surprised.

The two of them sat together, tasting the spirit fruit and spirit brew, while discussing the Sword Sect and the world of cultivation.

"Junior Brother Lu, you said that we have gone through many hardships, even life and death, to break through to the Nascent Soul. What's the point?"

"Even if you extend your life for a thousand years, it will eventually turn into a handful of loess."

Li Xuanchen suddenly sighed and said with emotion.

"Senior brother, why did you say this?"

Lu Xuan looked puzzled and asked curiously.

"It's just an occasional feeling, junior brother, don't worry."

"I wonder if junior brother has heard of senior brother Qingwei Jianfeng Wen Chenyu Wen?"

"I've heard about it, but I haven't seen it yet. I heard that Senior Brother Wen had advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage many years ago and has been practicing in seclusion in the Sword Sect's blessed land."

Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it's just that senior brother is not practicing in seclusion, but to continue his life."

"That senior brother Wen..."

Lu Xuan had an unpleasant idea in his heart, and his expression suddenly became more serious.

"Da, limit, will, arrive."

Li Xuanchen said word by word, with an indescribable loneliness and sadness in his voice.

"..."

"What a pity."

After hearing this, Lu Xuan was silent for a moment and sighed.

"It's not a pity or not. After all, Senior Brother Wen has lived for more than 1,300 years, which is not too short among Nascent Soul monks."

Li Xuanchen shook his head.

"Has Senior Brother Wen practiced life-extending techniques or collected life-extending elixirs?"

"Of course there is."

"After slowly entering the aging stage, Senior Brother Wen began to prepare to collect life-extending treasures."

"The life-extending exercises that can be applied to the Nascent Soul realm are extremely rare in the world of cultivation. At the same time, they need to be practiced early to achieve good results after reaching a certain realm."

"As for the life-extending elixir, they are also rare. If you occasionally get one or two, they can only barely quench your thirst, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem."

As an elder of the Sword Palace, Li Xuanchen naturally knows much more about the Sword Sect monks than Lu Xuan.

"Then has Senior Brother Wen tried any other methods?"

Lu Xuan looked like he was hesitating to speak.

"Junior Brother Lu, you and I have a deep friendship, so there is no need to be so cautious."

"What junior brother wants to say is to seize the body or become a ghost cultivator?"

Li Xuanchen said gently.

Lu Xuan nodded lightly.

"Strictly speaking, these heretical methods are not tolerated by the Sword Sect, which claims to be a righteous sect."

"Besides, it's not that easy to use."

"For example, if you want to seize a body, you need to find a body-seizing target that has excellent bones and aptitudes, and is compatible with the spirit and soul. Moreover, it will hurt Tianhe. Breaking through to the realm of pill formation and Yuanying is many times more difficult than normal."

"There is also a method of transforming into a ghost cultivator, which requires superior secret techniques, as well as high-level treasures that can nourish ghosts. Even if you successfully transform into a ghost cultivator, you will only be able to survive. There is no human being, no ghost, no ghost."

Li Xuanchen said slowly.

"Brother, there is no need to be so pessimistic."

"If you think about it from another perspective, the fact that Senior Brother Wen was able to die a good death in the Sword Sect has surpassed countless Nascent Soul cultivators."

"You must know that there are countless Nascent Soul cultivators who have died in various secret realms and at the hands of enemies, and only a few can die a healthy life."

Lu Xuan comforted him.

"Junior brother, what you said is correct. Senior brother is overthinking it."

Li Xuanchen nodded slightly.

"Senior brother, it's easy to breed inner demons."

Lu Xuan reminded.

"Haha, okay, I will strengthen my determination to seek the truth later."

Li Xuanchen smiled heartily.

"By the way, according to the news from the Master of the Sword Palace, that Senior Brother Wen may choose to go to the Heart Sword Lake to perish in the next ten days and a half. When the time comes, Junior Brother Lu will remember to come and see off Senior Brother."

"good."

Lu Xuan looked solemn and nodded gently.

"Nascent Soul is just the beginning. The road ahead is long and difficult. There is still so much to do."

He secretly warned himself in his heart.
