Dao Seed Immortal Lord

Within the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror Cave, the wondrous sprout had grown to three inches tall, its two tender leaves unfurling, emitting faint silver patterns, and absorbing the essence of wood spirit.

The surrounding spiritual fields were covered with golden low-grade spiritual rice, clusters of wood spirit mushrooms, and lush, verdant refining grass.

Li Bai sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and opened the jade box.

Inside the box, a medicinal herb about the size of a palm lay quietly.

It is light blue all over, with a slender but upright stem and nine slender leaves at the top. Each leaf is shaped like a small sword with a faint sharp edge.

The entire herb exuded a sharp sword intent; just looking at it made Li Bai feel a slight stinging pain between his brows, as if countless fine needles were pricking him.

"Such intense sword intent..."

Li Bai dared not delay, reached out and grasped the Nine-Leaf Sword Heart Flower, his divine sense fell upon the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror, and his thoughts stirred slightly.

hum!

A hazy white light appeared in his palm, swallowing the ten-year-old Nine-Leaf Sword Heart Flower in one gulp.

This time, the process of refining the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror seemed different from before.

Amidst the white light, the faint sound of swords ringing out could be heard, clear and melodious, like the roar of a dragon or the howl of a tiger.

The essence of that spiritual herb was extracted and transformed into a stream of azure light, swirling and condensing in the void of the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror.

A moment later, a brand new Dao Seed slowly took shape.

This Dao Seed is about the size of an infant's thumb, with a pale blue color throughout. Its shape resembles a miniature sword blank, with fine sword patterns flowing across its surface, exuding an aura of unparalleled sharpness.

Even just hovering in his sea of ​​consciousness, Li Bai felt his divine sense being slightly cut by that sharp force, causing a stinging pain.

[Sword Heart Seed: First-tier, low-grade Dao Seed. It clarifies the sword heart, enhancing sword comprehension and providing a limited boost to sword power.]

"Sword Heart Clarity...can it enhance sword comprehension and sword power?"

Li Bai muttered to himself, overjoyed, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated the Sword Heart Seed.

boom!

In an instant, an indescribable sense of clarity welled up in my heart.

It was as if a layer of fog that had been obscuring the sword had been instantly dispelled, and he saw the essence of the sword: not killing, not sharpness.

Rather, it is a pure sharpness.

Go forward.

Nothing is indestructible.

Li Bai stood up, his fingers forming a sword shape, his inner power surging as he unleashed the Great Spirit Sword Technique.

In the past, when he used this technique, he needed to deliberately guide his magical power and condense sword energy.

But at this moment, under the influence of the Sword Heart Seed, as soon as the magic power was activated, the nine sword energies naturally condensed and took shape, moving as smoothly as an arm or finger.

More importantly, the solidity and sharpness of each sword aura are more than twice as strong as before!

"go!"

Li Bai let out a low shout, and the nine sword energies merged into one, transforming into a dazzling azure light, its sharpness fully revealed, as it slashed towards a target of spirit gold ore the size of a human head at the edge of the cave.

laugh.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no deafening roar.

There was only a soft sound, like the sound of cutting paper.

The incredibly hard spirit gold ore split smoothly in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror, even reflecting Li Bai's face.

Li Bai looked at the cracked ore, then down at his fingers, his heart pounding.

Previously, when he used the Great Spirit Sword Technique, he could only leave a mark on this spirit gold ore target.

Now, this sword energy can slice it in two in an instant!?

With such power and sharpness, if this Great Spirit Sword Technique were to be used against an ordinary cultivator at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, could the opponent withstand it? It seems unlikely!

Even cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm would be injured by this sword if they did not use their magic weapons for defense!

Li Bai stood quietly with his eyes closed. Under the influence of the Sword Heart Seed, even though he had cultivated the Great Spirit Sword Technique to perfection, flashes of sword inspiration would still occasionally appear in his mind, deepening his understanding of the Great Spirit Sword Technique.

"Is this effect comparable to continuously consuming the Nine-Leaf Sword Heart Flower?"

Li Bai was secretly pleased.

Moreover, there were absolutely no side effects, and the medication was perfectly absorbed.

The next morning, when Li Bai saw Chen Hexian again, he found that Chen Hexian's face was somewhat pale and his breathing was obviously weak.

Li Bai was shocked: "Senior brother, are you injured?"

Chen Hexian remained calm, waving his hand and saying, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

His gaze fell on Li Bai, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise: "You've reached the second level of the Qi Refining Realm?"

Li Bai nodded and said, "I just broke through my cultivation a few days ago, but unfortunately I didn't have time to mention it to my senior brother before the Blackwater Sect attacked the medicine garden."

Chen Hexian gazed at Li Bai intently for a long time, then sighed, "No wonder you were able to attract the favor of the ancestral statue and receive its inheritance with your talent as a spirit plant servant."

"It seems your talent is indeed a bit strange. Your cultivation speed is not like that of a spirit plant servant."

Since Li Bai was a servant of spirit plants, there is no doubt that his spiritual root aptitude must be a pseudo-spiritual root, and it could not be a true low-grade spiritual root or even higher.

The fact that someone with pseudo-spiritual roots could attract the favor of the ancestral master's statue is itself a strange and astonishing thing.

Looking at Li Bai now, it's astonishing that he was able to break through his cultivation level again in such a short time, reaching the second level of the Qi Refining Realm...

At this rate, it won't be long before Li Bai reaches the third level of the Qi Refining Realm and receives the trial mission for an entry-level disciple.

Thinking of this, Chen Hexian suddenly asked, "Besides the methods of a spirit plant master, do you cultivate any other spells?"

He looked at Li Bai and advised, "If your cultivation breaks through to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm and you want to try the trial mission of the entry disciple, it's not enough to just know the methods of a spirit plant master. You can't lack the necessary combat skills. Just like this time when the Blackwater Sect attacked, even I had to take action to fight them."

Li Bai's heart skipped a beat, but he shook his head with a wry smile and asked, "Senior brother, does the Great Spirit Sword Technique count?"

Chen Hexian chuckled, pondered for a moment, and then a flash of light appeared in his hand as he took out a jade slip and handed it to Li Bai, saying, "Inside is a technique I inherited from outside many years ago, called the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique."

"Since you came to the herb garden, your senior brother hasn't given you any gifts. Consider this technique my congratulatory gift for your breakthrough in cultivation."

"If you can master it before the trial, that will be enough to handle the trial."

Chen Hexian handed the jade slip to Li Bai, and before Li Bai could say anything, he waved for Li Bai to follow him and begin today's daily farm work.

The Blackwater Sect's attacks these past few days have caused some medicinal herbs to be neglected.

It will take some time for it to recover.

It wasn't until late at night that Li Bai returned to his wooden hut, took out the jade slip of inheritance given to him by Chen Hexian, placed it between his eyebrows, and probed into it with his divine sense.

"Buzz!"

In the blink of an eye.

A surge of powerful information about inheritance flooded into Li Bai's mind.

In a daze, Li Bai seemed to see a hazy figure holding a magic sword. As the magic sword danced in the other's hand, the world seemed to be changing with the cycle of the four seasons, a beautiful and magnificent sight.

"This sword is truly beautiful," Li Bai couldn't help but think to himself.

It lacked any sharpness of swordsmanship, and seemed to have no sword energy at all.

But as the cycle of the four seasons came to an end, Li Bai felt a sharp pain in his consciousness, as if he saw his 'consciousness' shattering into pieces.

"......" Li Bai was dumbfounded. He didn't even know when he was being subjected to the "death by a thousand swords".
