Two days later.
Inside Lu Jian Chen's cultivation chamber, he sat cross-legged, holding a sharpening stone in his hand, diligently comprehending the trace of sword intent it contained.
Invisible sword rays swirled around him.
As time went by, the sword rays became increasingly sharp and terrifying, and an ethereal sword intent spread from his body.
At the same time, numerous mysteries of sword intent surged into his mind as if guided by fate.
As the sword intent around him continued to increase, countless sword rays instantly dispersed, appearing in the void surrounding his residence. Sword cries reverberated, and the phenomena became increasingly grand.
At the same time.
The spiritual swords in the entire Lu Manor began to tremble inexplicably, emitting a series of sword cries.
One by one, the spiritual swords rose into the air, heading towards Lu Jian Chen's location.
This scene stunned many of the clan members.
"What's going on? Why did my spiritual sword suddenly fly away!"
"Hey, why are there such terrifying sword ray phenomena over there!"
"What's happening?"
At this moment, many clan members were shocked, their eyes wide open.
"It's a sword dao phenomenon!"
"Which clan brother has awakened sword dao talent?"
"It's in that direction. Let's go see!"
Soon, the clan members started discussing amongst themselves, discovered the source of the phenomena, and all rushed towards it.
In a short while, many clan members arrived near the courtyard where Lu Jian Chen resided.
Countless sword rays swirled, sword cries reverberated, and a vast phenomenon illuminated the sky above a courtyard.
"Isn't that the courtyard where Jian Chen clan brother resides? Could it be that Jian Chen clan brother has awakened sword dao talent?"
"It must be. It definitely must be Jian Chen clan brother who has awakened sword dao talent!"
Many Lu family descendants erupted in astonishment, their eyes showing a hint of envy.
Soon, the Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and other core elders all arrived.
Almost at the same time, Lu Qing Xuan's figure also swept in from afar, landing at the forefront of the crowd.
Seeing this, the clan members immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings to the King!"
Lu Qing Xuan nodded and indicated that they needn't be so formal.
He slightly raised his gaze, looked at the sword dao phenomenon not far away, and his eyes glimmered slightly.
Lu Qing Xuan knew that this was Lu Jian Chen awakening the Immortal Sword Body, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: the family finally had an extraordinary, peerless prodigy!
After half a quarter of an hour, as the phenomenon gradually dissipated, everyone did not leave, but instead stared intently at Lu Jian Chen's courtyard.
With a creak, the courtyard door opened.
Lu Jian Chen, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, slowly walked out. Looking at him, he seemed like a peerless Dao sword appearing in the world, his demeanor ethereal.
"He's come out!"
"Jian Chen clan brother is out!"
Many young disciples saw Lu Jian Chen's figure and exclaimed.
However, just as Lu Jian Chen stepped out of his courtyard, the spiritual swords that were circling above his courtyard immediately flew towards him.
One by one, the spiritual swords, as if imbued with intelligence, circled around him, trembling incessantly, emitting a series of sword cries, as if submitting to Lu Jian Chen.
Seeing this scene, the crowd felt a pang of discomfort. Their spiritual swords were circling around someone else, and they were even rejoicing.
"Hmph, trash sword!"
"I treat you like a treasure every day, and this is how you repay me?"
Seeing their spiritual swords flirting with someone else, many young disciples couldn't help but grumble.
"Hmm, do you all want to become his master?"
Lu Jian Chen looked at the various spiritual swords circling around him, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.
However, he didn't look favorably upon these spiritual swords.
If these swords were fed to the broken sword, that would be fine.
But he knew that these spiritual swords belonged to the clan members. If he dared to take them, he would definitely be mobbed.
He then ignored the spiritual swords and walked straight to Lu Qing Xuan, bowing respectfully.
"Jian Chen greets the King, and all the elders!"
Lu Qing Xuan looked Lu Jian Chen up and down, and couldn't help but nod.
Lu Jian Chen, who had awakened the Immortal Sword Body, had already broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm, sixth level.
【Ding! Discovered golden investment clan member Lu Jian Chen. Investment can be initiated!】
"Hmm!"
Lu Qing Xuan's eyes had a strange look. The system had triggered a reminder to invest in Lu Jian Chen again!
Moreover, this time the investment level had been upgraded to gold, which meant that the rewards for investment would definitely be substantial.
【Invest two bottles of Purple Extreme Pills, to obtain ten jars of Purple Extreme Pills, two jars of Transcendent Golden Core Pills, and five thousand herbs of various grades from the Earth Rank!】
【Invest three Heaven Rank magical treasures, to randomly obtain a King Rank magical treasure, the Two Instruments and Supreme Dao Chart, and four random Heaven Rank magical treasures!】
【Invest two thousand high-grade spirit stones, to obtain two maps of high-grade spirit stone veins, and three Heaven Rank, mid-grade spirit veins!】
【Invest the 《Heaven-Reaching Sword Scripture》, to obtain the King Rank sword technique, the 《Tai Yi Splitting Light Sword Scripture》, and two random Heaven Rank cultivation techniques and martial arts skills!】
Seeing such generous investment rewards, Lu Qing Xuan couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
Suppressing his excitement, Lu Qing Xuan looked at Lu Jian Chen and smiled slightly.
"Not bad. You've awakened the Immortal Sword Body. My Lu Manor has finally produced a peerless prodigy with a top-tier physique!"
As he spoke, Lu Qing Xuan had already activated True Sight, re-examining Lu Jian Chen's information.
【Name: Lu Jian Chen】
【Cultivation: Purple Mansion Realm, sixth level】
【资质: Supreme (Original: 天才) 】
【悟性: Prodigy (Original: 上等) 】
【Talent: Immortal Sword Body, Innate Sword Heart (Complete)】
【Good Fortune: Recently, while on a mission to exterminate bandits, he obtained a broken top-tier Saint Sword. As long as he consumes enough magical treasure spirit essence, he can obtain part of the Saint Dao inheritance from the Saint Sword. He has just awakened the Immortal Sword Body!】
Seeing that Lu Jian Chen's 资质 and 天赋 had not only both been upgraded to至尊 level, but also that the previously incomplete先天剑心 had been fully restored,
This made Lu Qing Xuan very satisfied.
However, as Lu Qing Xuan's words fell, the other Lu family members erupted in astonishment.
"Immortal Sword Body!?"
"To think that Jian Chen clan brother has awakened the Immortal Sword Body! That's a Divine Body!"
"I admit I'm jealous!"
When many young disciples looked at Lu Jian Chen, their expressions were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"This is all thanks to the King for bestowing upon me the Sword Dao Crystal Stone. Not only did it allow me to comprehend sword intent, but it also gave me the opportunity to awaken this kind of sword dao talent!"
Lu Jian Chen was very respectful towards Lu Qing Xuan, his voice filled with gratitude.
These words were indeed sincere. If it hadn't been for Lu Qing Xuan's gift of that Sword Dao Crystal Stone containing a trace of sword intent, he wouldn't have known when he could have comprehended sword intent and awakened this kind of physique.
In his estimation, that Sword Dao Crystal Stone was an important factor in his awakening the Immortal Sword Body, it played a significant role!
Lu Qing Xuan was very pleased with Lu Jian Chen's performance. He then took out a storage ring and handed it to Lu Jian Chen.
"Take these resources. Consider it a reward from the family for you awakening your physique."
"From now on, cultivate diligently, and I hope you will strive hard and raise the reputation of my Lu Manor!"
Seeing this, Lu Jian Chen didn't refuse, because his cultivation had already increased significantly, and he indeed needed a lot of resources.
He then took the storage ring and thanked him again, "Thank you, King!"
Lu Qing Xuan nodded slightly, then encouraged Lu Jian Chen a couple more times before leaving the place.
【Ding! Investment successful. Rewards are being returned...】
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten jars of Purple Extreme Pills, two jars of Transcendent Golden Core Pills, five thousand herbs of various grades from the Earth Rank, a King Rank magical treasure, the Two Instruments and Supreme Dao Chart, four random Heaven Rank magical treasures, two maps of high-grade spirit stone veins, three Heaven Rank, mid-grade spirit veins, a King Rank sword technique, the 《Tai Yi Splitting Light Sword Scripture》, and two random Heaven Rank cultivation techniques and martial arts skills】
【Ding! Randomly generated five Heaven Rank magical treasures, obtaining a Heaven Rank, top-grade magical treasure: the Heaven-Guiding Treasure Phase Wheel, the Six Realms Star Tower, a Heaven Rank, high-grade magical treasure: the Sky Star Silver Moon Bow, the Phoenix Golden Heavenly Phosphorus Blade!】
【Ding! Randomly generated two Heaven Rank cultivation techniques, obtaining a Heaven Rank, top-grade cultivation technique: the 《Tai Chi Xuan Tian True Scripture》, and a Heaven Rank, high-grade cultivation technique: the 《幽冥寒冰訣》!】
【Ding! Randomly generated two Heaven Rank martial arts skills, obtaining a Heaven Rank, top-grade martial arts skill: the 《旋龙幻影杀》, and a Heaven Rank, high-grade martial arts skill: the 《燃血化鸿术》!】
【Two Instruments and Supreme Dao Chart: A King Rank magical treasure that excels in both offense and defense, it has a stronger power against group attacks!】
【High-grade spirit stone vein map: Marks the specific location of an undeveloped spirit stone vein that can be mined to produce high-grade spirit stones!】
Seeing such generous return rewards, Lu Qing Xuan was in a very good mood.
He first took out the three mid-grade spirit veins and planted them underground on Soaring Heaven Island.
In an instant, the spiritual energy in the entire Lu Manor surged again. Spiritual energy, like white mist, swirled and floated in the void.
Then, Lu Qing Xuan put the other cultivation techniques and martial arts skills rewards into different pavilions of the family.
After finishing this, Lu Qing Xuan handed the two high-grade spirit stone vein maps to Third Elder Lu Ze, asking him to send people to mine them.
High-grade spirit stone veins were not common in the entire Northern Source County, let alone two such veins.
Once they were mined, it would definitely bring Lu Manor a huge fortune in spirit stones.
After giving his instructions, Lu Qing Xuan took out the Two Instruments and Supreme Dao Chart and began to refine it.
This was a King Rank magical treasure that excelled in both offense and defense, perfect for him to use as a temporary treasure.
Next, Lu Qing Xuan set aside some time to refine the Two Instruments and Supreme Dao Chart, while he also began to cultivate.
On the other side.
After sending away the group of clan members who had come to watch the excitement, Lu Jian Chen returned to his courtyard.
With a flip of his hand, the storage ring that Lu Qing Xuan had given him appeared in his hand.
He then extended his divine sense and began to examine the contents inside.
"This... there are actually three Heaven Rank magical treasures!?"
When Lu Jian Chen saw the three Heaven Rank magical treasures, his eyes widened in shock and he couldn't help but exclaim.
The King had actually given him three Heaven Rank magical treasures?
He felt a little excited in his heart.
If he fed these three treasures to the Broken Sword, it would definitely increase the Broken Sword's power significantly.
At the thought of this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
He immediately put away the three treasures, then looked at the other items.
"Hmm, Purple Extreme Pills, high-grade spirit stones!"
When he saw these two things, a look of indescribable joy appeared on Lu Jian Chen's face.
You must know that he usually used low-grade spirit stones for cultivation, and occasionally he could obtain some mid-grade spirit stones.
As for high-grade spirit stones, he had never even thought about them. They contained extremely pure spiritual energy, which could greatly accelerate cultivation speed and save a lot of cultivation time.
Yet, now he had two thousand high-grade spirit stones in his hand, enough for him to cultivate for a while, which made his heart flutter with excitement.
The King was so generous!
"With these two things, my cultivation can quickly increase again."
After putting away these two things, he looked at the last scroll, the 《Heaven-Reaching Sword Scripture》.
"This is a Heaven Rank, high-grade sword technique?"
After only a brief glance, Lu Jian Chen realized that this was a sword technique of immense power.
He hadn't expected that the King would bestow upon him such a high-grade sword technique, which made him feel grateful.
You must know that the sword technique he was currently cultivating was only Earth Rank, mid-grade, and it couldn't compare to a Heaven Rank, high-grade sword technique at all.
"The King has bestowed upon me so many good things, so I will definitely not disappoint the King's expectations. I will make the name of my Lu Manor resound throughout the entire Lingyun Dynasty, and even the entire North 寒州!"
At this moment, Lu Jian Chen's eyes showed a determined will.
He then began to comprehend this Heaven Rank, high-grade sword technique.
