Dao Seed Immortal Lord

The brilliance of this swordsmanship lies in its sword intent, the sword intent of spring. It is not about killing or sharpness, but about vitality, continuity, and the gentle, silent nourishment of life.

When the sword intent and sword energy are perfectly integrated, a single swing of the sword seems to usher in spring, with plants sprouting and life flourishing.

Beneath that vibrant spring lies a pervasive and relentless killing intent.

"Buzz".

Li Bai danced with his sword in the grotto, the magic sword drawing graceful arcs in his hand, the sword light as dense as spring rain, covering an area of ​​several feet.

With each strike, faint ripples spread through the air, as if something unseen was spreading, permeating, and cutting through the sword light.

Spring Sword +0.2%.

Spring Sword +0.2%.

……

After a night of practice, his proficiency with the Spring Sword had increased significantly.

One month later, one morning, Li Bai arrived at the Guixi herb field as usual, ready to begin his day's work.

Chen Hexian was already waiting by the field. When he saw him coming, he nodded slightly, signaling him to follow.

The two walked along the path through the medicinal herb field to a secluded corner, where Chen Hexian stopped and turned around.

"There's something I need to tell you," Chen Hexian said bluntly. "Master is planning a grand competition for disciples of the Spirit Plant Hall."

Li Bai was taken aback: "The Spirit Plant Hall Disciple Competition?"

"Yes." Chen Hexian nodded. "There will be two groups for the competition: one group of spirit plant master apprentices and one group of first-grade low-level spirit plant masters."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The competition is divided into two parts: one is a contest of spiritual plant cultivation skills, and the other is a practical combat technique competition."

"The top ten in each group of Spirit Plant Master apprentices will be awarded the inheritance of a first-tier low-grade Spirit Plant Master. The top ten to sixth will receive ten low-grade spirit stones; the fifth and fourth will receive twenty low-grade spirit stones; the third will receive thirty low-grade spirit stones; the second will receive forty low-grade spirit stones; and the first will receive fifty low-grade spirit stones."

"A group of first-tier low-grade spirit plant masters. The top ten will be granted the inheritance of a first-tier mid-grade spirit plant master. The top ten to the sixth will receive thirty low-grade spirit stones; the fifth and fourth will receive fifty; the third will receive seventy; the second will receive eighty; and the first will receive one hundred."

Chen Hexian looked at Li Bai with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "I've assigned you to the first-tier low-grade spirit plant master group. Your magical skills are extremely profound, and your foundation as a spirit plant master is equally high, no worse than those formal disciples."

"Therefore, my requirement for you is to at least strive for a top ten position and obtain that first-tier mid-grade spirit plant master inheritance."

"With this, your path ahead will be much easier."

Upon hearing this, Li Bai's breathing quickened.

The Spirit Plant Hall Disciple Grand Competition!

A first-tier mid-grade spirit plant master's inheritance!

The top ten will receive at least thirty low-grade spirit stones as a reward, and the first place winner will receive as many as one hundred low-grade spirit stones!

The reward was much more generous than he had imagined!

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will do my best to get into the top ten."

Suppressing his excitement, Li Bai cautiously inquired, "Senior brother, when will the competition take place?"

Chen Hexian glanced at him and, seeing his excited expression, warned him, "Don't be careless. There are quite a few first-grade low-level spirit plant masters in the herb garden, several hundred in total, including some senior cultivators or genius disciples."

"To compete for a top ten spot, you need real combat skills; it's not as easy as you think."

"As for this grand competition, it will be held in seven days in the square in front of the Spirit Plant Hall."

"You'd better work hard these next few days and practice the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique that I gave you. Even if you only master one or two sword techniques, it will be a great asset in actual combat."

Li Bai's joy faded considerably, and he nodded solemnly, saying, "Yes, I will strive to improve the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique."

Chen Hexian didn't ask any further questions. He simply told Li Bai to try his best to master the Spring Sword and Summer Sword techniques of the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Art. With two swords at his disposal, he wouldn't be too bad to participate in the competition for first-tier low-grade spirit plant masters.

In addition to Li Bai's mastery of plant cultivation techniques, he believes he still has the potential to compete for a top ten spot.

However, little did he know that Li Bai was now thinking about improving one or two sword skills to the level of mastery as much as possible!

The Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique consists of five swords. Currently, apart from the last sword, the Four Seasons Reincarnation Sword Technique, Li Bai has already mastered the other four swords after two months of arduous training.

With only seven days left until the Spirit Plant Hall Competition, it's definitely too late to raise the level of all four swords.

However, if Li Bai devoted himself to practicing one or two sword techniques over the next seven days, he felt that he still had a chance to comprehend and master one of the sword techniques in this top-tier sword art.

For such top-tier sword techniques, the difference in power between each minor realm is like heaven and earth.

When Li Bai had just mastered the basics of this top-tier sword technique, he felt confident enough to challenge a mid-stage cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Not to mention now, he has mastered all four sword techniques to a high level, greatly increasing their power once again.

He not only wanted the reward for being in the top ten of the first-tier low-grade spirit plant master competition, but also the reward for first place.

That's a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

With these spirit stones, even if we don't use them to buy spirit seeds, we can still exchange them at the Spirit Plant Hall for high-grade spirit herbs that can improve the rank of our Dao Seeds.

For the next seven days, Li Bai maintained his daily routine.

During the day, he followed Chen Hexian to take care of the medicinal fields, and at night he devoted himself to cultivating the "Azure Wood Spiritual Essence Technique" and the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique.

However, unlike in the past, this time when he was practicing the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, he only practiced the Spring Sword.

Inside the wooden house, the spirit-gathering array was operating at full capacity, and rich spiritual energy surged within the house.

Li Bai sat cross-legged, adjusted his state to the best, then stood up and took his sword.

"Buzz".

The magic sword was drawn, its light as dense as spring rain, spreading and blooming in the confined space.

This sword strike had no killing intent, no sharpness, only a vibrant springtime feeling.

Plants sprout and all things revive, as if all the vitality of heaven and earth is gathered in this one sword.

Spring Sword +0.2%.

Li Bai didn't stop, he continued to demonstrate his skills.

The second sword strike, the sword light rose again.

Springtime is in full bloom, and the sword's momentum is even stronger.

Spring Sword +0.2%.

The third sword strike.

The fourth sword strike.

He cast four sword spells in succession, filling the room with a moist and fragrant spiritual energy, creating a beautiful and vibrant spring atmosphere, without any hint of sharpness or danger.

After Chunjian reached the proficient level, he was able to completely conceal the sharpness of his swordsmanship.

A wisp of spring's essence permeates the air, subtly transforming into a scene of springtime beauty.

pity.

Even so, it's still far from comprehending the essence of the Spring Sword.

Li Bai unleashed four sword strikes in succession, nearly exhausting his magical power before stopping. His face was slightly pale. He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and circulated the "Azure Wood Spiritual Energy Technique" to regulate his breathing and recover his magical power.

Under the light, multiple photosynthetic Dao Seeds were activated simultaneously, continuously providing a supply of spiritual energy.

The first-grade superior Qi Refining Dao Seed doubles the refining efficiency, the five Five Elements Dao Seeds improve the compatibility of spiritual roots, and the Wood Spirit Dao Seed provides an additional bonus to the Green Wood Cultivation Technique.

My mana is recovering much faster than it was a year ago.

In less than half an hour, the depleted dantian was replenished again, and the emerald green magic power flowed slowly through the meridians like a trickle.
