A thousand feet in the air.

Lu Xuan closed the “Common Spiritual Plants and Their Handling Methods” which he received from the girl in red. He stretched lazily and looked out the window.

Endless heavy clouds stretched outside the window, with long arcs of lightning in the distance.

The All Things Ship flew smoothly without any hint of turbulence.

Although his room was of the lowest class, Lu Xuan found it quite enjoyable. At least, he had a private and free space and could gaze at the sky’s spectacle.

It had been more than half a month since he boarded the ship. During this time, he mainly stayed in his room, reading books and practicing.

He felt unusually uncomfortable not cultivating spiritual plants for such a long time, as if his bones had rusted.

Of course, the main point was that there was no progress in his cultivation after half a month. Yet, while cultivating spiritual plants, he could intuitively feel the growth of the plants and the birth of the White Light Group along with it.

“Indeed, considering my caliber, thinking about achieving remarkable progress in cultivation is completely futile.”

Once again, he was reminded of his mediocrity in the path of cultivation. If he kept practicing like he had on the All Things Ship, he had no idea when he would break through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

The All Things Ship didn’t directly reach Sword Gate Town from Linyang Market. In between, there were several stops, exchanging resources between the floors, adding and discharging cultivators, and supplying the ship itself.

During these voyages, they didn’t encounter any danger. Only twice, some demon birds attacked the All Things Ship but were cleanly killed by the cultivators of the Wanbao Building without ever breaking through the ship’s Protective Aura Shield.

“Half an hour later, the All Things Ship will arrive at Sword Gate Town. Cultivators going to Sword Gate Town should get ready and ensure not to leave behind any important magic artifacts.”

As Lu Xuan’s thoughts were wandering, a gentle voice echoed in his ear.

“What merit do I have to allow a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to announce my itinerary… it seems the two hundred spiritual stones were worth it.”

Lu Xuan said to himself while chuckling, eyes fixated on the world outside the window.

Half an hour later, the All Things Ship landed in a spacious plaza.

Lu Xuan gently jumped onto the ground, immediately feeling a strong sense of reality through his feet.

Before him was a bustling town. A broad stone sword, towering a hundred feet tall, stood outside the town, its body filled with traces of varying depths and sizes.

Passing cultivators were invariably attracted to the stone sword. Many Sword Cultivators even stopped under the stone sword and gestured with their hands, lost in thought.

Walking into the town center, Lu Xuan found that the cultivators of the town were superior in cultivation level, demeanor, and age.

He strolled around and learned that it would still be some time before the Sky Sword Sect would recruit disciples. So, he found an inn and booked a room for two Spiritual Stones per day.

During the waiting time, he checked on his Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts in the Life Bag. He let the Cloud Leopard out for some exercise. Seeing the well-maintained vitality of his spirit beings, Lu Xuan felt more at ease.

“How weird. Such a big market, and I can’t find a single unknown spiritual seed.”

Lu Xuan grumbled as he returned to his room.

Almost twenty days had passed since he arrived at Sword Gate Town. In this time, apart from practicing and reading, he would occasionally stroll around the market in town during his leisure time.

Due to the support of the nearby Sky Sword Sect, Sword Gate Town had profound heritage. In the market, Lu Xuan saw many spiritual seeds, mainly of first and second grade, and even occasionally third-grade ones on sale.

In Linyang Market, this would be almost impossible. Third-grade spiritual seeds would only appear in well-known stores like Wanbao Building, and their exorbitant prices would terrify people.

But, it was the depth of heritage that proved to be a problem. Every time Lu Xuan asked about a spiritual seed he didn’t recognize, the stall owner could provide detailed information about its type and rank, vanquishing his hopes of discovering an unknown seed like Sword Grass or Dark Marrow Mushroom.

Lu Xuan temporarily had no plans to buy normal spiritual seeds. The words of joining the Sky Sword Sect were not yet uttered, and he had no land for the seeds. Also, he figured he would get a better price for even better seeds once he officially joined the sect, so he was in no hurry.

“Brother Lu, have you returned from the market?”

A young man around his age entered the room soon after Lu Xuan did.

The young man had a delicate face, slender eyes that squinted into slits when he smiled.

He lived next to Lu Xuan and was quite friendly by nature. He also wanted to join the Sky Sword Sect, and their ages, cultivation levels, and goals were similar, so they gradually became familiar with each other.

After arriving at Sword Gate Town, Lu Xuan revealed his Qi Refinement Eighth Level to attract attention and prepare chips for the future.

The young man’s name was Baili Jianqing. From idle chats, Lu Xuan learned that his grandfather once cultivated in the Sky Sword Sect but failed to become an Inner Sect Disciple.

Influenced by him, Baili Jianqing had a high regard for and aspiration towards the Sky Sword Sect, which is why he came here from far away, hoping to follow in his grandfather’s unfinished steps.

“In a few days, the Sky Sword Sect will begin recruiting Outer Sect Disciples. With our cultivation levels, becoming Outer Sect Disciples is a sure thing.”

Baili Jianqing sat on the chair, swinging his legs and shaking his head.

“I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time. I heard that there is a kind of spiritual plant in Sky Sword Sect called Sword Grass, which is a natural sword implement and is extremely precious to sword cultivators.”

“My grandfather has one that he treasures like life itself, only letting me play with it a few times when I was a child. I haven’t seen it for years since then.”

“If I can secure a Sword Grass after entering the sect, my life will be without regrets.”

Baili Jianqing, a Sword Cultivator who specialized in Sword Dao, was desperately eager for the mysterious Sword Grass in the Sky Sword Sect.

Seeing him like this, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but act juvenile. He gave Baili Jianqing a mysterious smile and beckoned him.

“Come here, let me show you my treasure.”

With that said, he took out a high-quality, second-grade Sword Grass from his storage bag and brandished it showily.

“Wow! Sword Grass! Such good quality!”

Baili Jianqing rushed over, quickly grabbing the black Sword Grass.

“Indeed, it’s a natural sword implement. The Sword Intent is naturally refined, without any flaws.”

Baili Jianqing gently wiped the Sword Grass’s body, as if he had met the woman of his dreams after being starved for several decades. Hunger shone in his eyes.

“Brother Lu, Brother Xuan, how about I buy this Sword Grass from you at a high price? Or is there anything else you want? Name anything within the third-grade, my Baili Family might not amount to much in Sword Gate Town, but we have a small reputation locally.”

Lu Xuan pulled the Sword Grass from Baili Jianqing’s reluctant hands and put it back in his storage bag.

“I have a few questions for you. If you answer satisfactorily, I might be able to secure a high-quality Sword Grass for you once we entered the sect.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile..
