Chapter 1085 -1082: Hundred Artisans Sword Peak Unwilling to Freeload

His mind stirred, and a clump of deep yellow smoke slowly drifted out from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

Within the shifting smoke, one could faintly see layers upon layers of phantoms, evolving into the myriad scenes of mundane life, depicting the full spectrum of existence.

“It bears some resemblance to those things inside the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow, but its exact purpose remains unknown.”

Lu Xuan lamented quietly and decided to carefully secure the clump of deep yellow smoke for now.

Having had the experience of entering Huangliang Village once before, and with the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow as his confidence, he resolved to enter it again during his leisure time to hone his divine soul and willpower.

Hundred Artisans Sword Peak.

Xu Wenbai was inspecting several Sword Mystic Porcupines that had returned to the Sword Peak.

Although the Sword Mystic Porcupines belonged to the Hundred Artisans Sword Peak, they were mostly left to roam free, spending most of their time wandering around the Sword Sect, collecting discarded Flying Swords, Spirit Ores, sword Aura treasures, and the like.

After the corpse sha had invaded the bodies of the Sword Mystic Porcupines, everyone at Hundred Artisans Sword Peak paid much more attention than before, conducting thorough check-ups on them every once in a while, fearing any unforeseen incidents.

Xu Wenbai summoned a Sword Mystic Porcupine and wrapped his palm in a layer of dark black metal, carefully sensing the many sword blades across its body.

“How can it be in such good shape? The average rank of the sword blades has improved significantly, could it be that it found some high-grade Flying Swords or Spirit Ores somewhere in the Sword Sect?”

He pondered, retracting his blackened hand and continuing to examine the next Sword Mystic Porcupine.

The Sword Mystic Porcupine turned slightly, revealing sword blades brimming with Sword Intent in front of Xu Wenbai.

“How strange, still in excellent condition with such high rank for the sword blades, truly a rare occurrence.”

Xu Wenbai’s curiosity deepened with each Sword Mystic Porcupine he inspected.

“What’s going on with this one? The quality of the sword blades it produced is unheard of.”

The last one he checked was precisely the Sword Mystic Porcupine that had enjoyed several visits to Lu Xuan’s Cave Mansion.

At this moment, every section of sword blade along its body was extremely sharp, as if it had been tempered by the most renowned Artifact Refiners of the Hundred Artisans Sword Peak.

The Sword Mystic Porcupine consumed various sword Aura treasures, and after digesting and absorbing them, it would grow spikes resembling sword blades on its body surface. These spikes were semi-finished sword products that needed to be specially collected and then refined into Flying Swords.

However, the sword blades congealed on the body of this particular Sword Mystic Porcupine, especially the few of high quality, barely differed from finished Flying Swords.

Having raised these Sword Mystic Porcupines for many years, he naturally could conduct some simple communication with them.

“Are you saying you all went to Junior Brother Lu, who helped you eliminate the corpse sha?”

“In his Cave Abode, there is a magical Scabbard that nurtures your sword blades?”

Xu Wenbai asked incredulously.

“What kind of Scabbard could have such a miraculous effect?”

“You rascals have been spending your days at Junior Brother Lu’s place, taking advantage of his Treasure. How is that fair?”

He thought rapidly.

“No, I must report this to Uncle-Master Chen and find a way to properly compensate Junior Brother Lu.”

Xu Wenbai instructed the other disciples to take good care of the Sword Mystic Porcupines and, transforming into a streak of Sword Light, ascended to the very top of Sword Peak.

Chen Bingxue had recently forged a sixth-grade Flying Sword and had some free time; Xu Wenbai didn’t take much effort to locate him.

“Senior Brother Xu, are you saying that Junior Brother Lu, who discovered the corpse sha, has a Scabbard Strange Treasure that can nurture the sword blades on the bodies of these Sword Mystic Porcupines?”

After carefully listening to Xu Wenbai’s account, Chen Bingxue showed a hint of surprise.

“Yes, Uncle-Master Chen, I communicated thoroughly with the Sword Mystic Porcupines, and it’s indeed Junior Brother Lu.

Although the Scabbard Strange Treasure can’t elevate the rank of the sword blades to a higher level of qualitative ascension, it truly nurturs the Sword Mystic Porcupines.”

Xu Wenbai hurriedly said.

“To have even a slight effect is already quite good, even if it isn’t as effective as at the beginning, the cumulative effect over time would be very considerable.”

Chen Bingxue nodded slightly.

“The Sword Mystic Porcupines have been occupying Disciple Lu’s treasure for quite some time, taking such advantage; we must properly express our gratitude to him to avoid being talked about behind our backs as being dishonorable at Hundred Artisans Sword Peak.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenbai had an idea:

“Elder Uncle, I’ve heard that Junior Brother Lu is extremely obsessed with all kinds of rare Spiritual Seeds and seedlings. Why don’t we give him a High-grade Spirit Seed or a seedling?”

He voiced his suggestion.

“That’s a good idea. You go arrange it. Sword Peak recently obtained a High-grade Spirit Seed, which can be directly given to Disciple Lu.”

“Elder Uncle, that Strange Treasure that Junior Brother Lu has greatly benefits the Sword Mystic Porcupines. Should Sword Peak spend a large sum to purchase it from him?”

Before leaving, Xu Wenbai hesitated for a moment but still asked with a flicker in his eyes.

“Mention it casually and see if Disciple Lu is interested. If he is, as long it’s within Sword Peak’s ability to afford it, there’s no problem.”

Chen Bingxue had a substantial interest in the sword scabbard in Lu Xuan’s possession.

The Sword Mystic Porcupines held a very high status within the Hundred Artisans Sword Peak, and obtaining that scabbard would bring many benefits to their growth and, hence, benefit Sword Peak greatly.

However, Lu Xuan was after all a fellow disciple of the Sword Sect and greatly valued by the True Sword Master, so they could not and dared not harbor any greed.

Three days later, Chen Bingxue and Xu Wenbai together arrived at Huanzhen Sword Peak.

“Junior Brother Lu, I am Xu Wenbai from Hundred Artisans Sword Peak, visiting Junior Brother with Elder Uncle Chen.”

Xu Wenbai, who had previously visited Lu Xuan’s Cave Mansion, saw the White Ape that usually guarded the entrance was absent, so he took the initiative to send a message toward the depths of the cave abode.

Inside the Cave Abode.

Lu Xuan, who was cultivating Spiritual Plants, appeared perplexed.

“Why have Elder Uncle Chen and Senior Brother Xu from Hundred Artisans Sword Peak come?”

He flashed his body and arrived at the entrance of the cave mansion with the utmost speed.

“Lu Xuan pays his respects to Elder Uncle Chen and Senior Brother Xu! Please forgive my lack of courtesy for not welcoming you from afar!”

He respectfully greeted Chen Bingxue, who stood at the forefront.

Chen Bingxue smiled and replied in a warm tone, “Disciple Lu, no need for such formalities.”

Lu Xuan welcomed both men into the Cave Abode.

“Disciple Lu, we came here specifically to properly express our gratitude to you.”

After taking a seat, Chen Bingxue said to Lu Xuan with a smile.

Lu Xuan subconsciously asked in a soft voice, “Gratitude?”

He had been staying in his Cave Mansion cultivating Spiritual Plants all this time in preparation for his Nascent Soul breakthrough and had not had any interactions with the sect members from Hundred Artisans Sword Peak.

The only thing that might warrant gratitude from Hundred Artisans Sword Peak was the issue of resolving the Corpse Sha Aura that had infested the Sword Mystic Porcupine’s body years ago.

“Elder Uncle Chen, did the Sword Mystic Porcupines from Hundred Artisans Sword Peak cause any disturbances to Disciple Lu’s cultivation or the cultivation of the Spiritual Plants lately?”

Chen Bingxue asked with a smile.

“So that’s how it is.”

Lu Xuan suddenly understood.

He had lured the Sword Mystic Porcupines over and used the pretense of full-body maintenance to allow the sword blades on their bodies to thoroughly puncture the scabbard, occasionally even receiving the Sword Aura treasure they offered.

He had already profited a great deal, yet Hundred Artisans Sword Peak had sent a Primordial Infant True Monarch to express thanks personally?

This made Lu Xuan, who was always accustomed to taking without giving, feel somewhat embarrassed.

Of course, before the imminent arrival of the treasure, that little bit of guilt instantly dissipated like smoke in the wind.
