Lin Xuan sat on the ground with his back against the stone monument.
The Longevity Art in his body surged and quickly opened his fifth spirit meridian. His aura instantly soared as an invisible shockwave swept out in all directions.
The Longevity Art was very special. After Lin Xuan cultivated it, the spiritual energy in his body was abnormally strong. His current spiritual energy was not weaker than a cultivator at the sixth stage of the Meridian Condensation realm. If he really broke through to the sixth stage of the Meridian Condensation realm, he would probably be able to wipe out all the sixth stage cultivators with a single hand.
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes. His long and narrow eyes flickered from time to time as a lazy smile hung on his face.
My cultivation has increased, but I only found one stone. It looks like I have to hurry! Lin Xuan was filled with enthusiasm.
"I want a spirit root!" Lord Alcohol shouted.
"I want a treasure sword!" Lin Xuan was not to be outdone. He carried the steel sword and walked in.
Not long after, a faint fog surged in front of him. Lin Xuan felt dizzy from afar.
Not good, there's poison! He quickly retreated. His Instant Shadow Steps had reached the small success stage, so his speed was definitely impressive. Leaving behind afterimages, Lin Xuan arrived at a safe place in the blink of an eye.
Since he couldn't go in deeper, it looked like he could only head out. Lin Xuan made up his mind and headed outside.
The further he went, the more alarmed Lin Xuan became. The moment he approached the outside, he felt the spiritual energy in his body rapidly depleting. This made him very alarmed.
F * ck! It's dangerous inside and outside. Only the center is safe. What kind of crappy place is this! Lin Xuan looked helpless.
Unable to think of a solution for the time being, he could only stay near the stone monument.
The night was pitch-black.
Lin Xuan chopped down some black trees to use as firewood, but it didn't take long for him to realize that he had caused trouble.
From the chopped trees, a black whirlwind rose up and swept towards Lin Xuan. The fire that had just been lit was extinguished in an instant, and a huge suction force pulled at him crazily.
Lin Xuan's body flickered with light. Green spiritual energy formed a thin film around his body to resist the black wind. At the same time, he dug his feet into the ground and resisted with all his might.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not long after, black whirlwinds came from all directions, quickly moving towards Lin Xuan. At this critical moment, a black spirit energy gushed out from his body. Half of his body was covered with black lotus patterns, and two black lotus leaves wrapped around Lin Xuan, blocking all the black whirlwinds outside.
A moment later, all the black winds disappeared, and the lotus patterns on Lin Xuan's body also disappeared. He felt that the mysterious black spiritual power in his body was gradually disappearing, and his face was extremely solemn.
In the past, it was this force that prevented him from cultivating, but now it was protecting him. This made Lin Xuan a little confused.
"Hmm? Xiao Xuanzi, there are quite a number of brown stones behind you! "Lord Alcohol's voice interrupted Lin Xuan's thoughts.
Lord Alcohol's condition couldn't provide Lin Xuan with any substantial strength, so he couldn't do anything in the previous scene. Lin Xuan knew this, but this fellow was always unwilling to mention the black lotus, which made him gnash his teeth.
He helplessly turned his head and was immediately given a fright.
Seven or eight brown stones were scattered on the ground. The largest was the size of a millstone, and the smallest was the size of a fist.
"So many?" Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback. "They must have been blown here by the strange wind."
Using the light from his spiritual energy, he placed the stones together and lit the firewood again.
Thankfully, there was no strange black wind this time. Lin Xuan knocked on the stones, preparing to cut them open one by one. His palm was like a knife, and with a swing, he cut open the brown stones.
In the end, only two things were cut out of the seven stones.
One was the spirit root that Lord Alcohol needed, and the other was a black tile the size of a palm.
Lord Alcohol put away the spirit root with a smile, while Lin Xuan put away the black tile with a dark expression.
"Where's the promised sword?" Lin Xuan angrily hammered the stone monument beside him.
Boom! Half of the stone monument collapsed, giving Lin Xuan a fright.
"It's that weak?" Lin Xuan mumbled.
"Alright, Xiao Xuanzi, on account of you helping me find the spirit root, I'll give you a sword," Lord Alcohol suddenly said.
"What? You have a sword?" Lin Xuan stomped his feet in anger. "Why didn't you give it to me earlier …"
"Young man, you're too impatient!" Lord Alcohol said unhurriedly. "It's a little difficult to give it to you now. Give it a try if you don't believe me."
As he spoke, a black vortex appeared in front of Lin Xuan. Immediately following that, a dark red sword flew out and stabbed into the ground with a clang.
Unlike ordinary three-foot-long swords, this was a huge sword. The sword was very wide, but not thick. The hilt was long enough for Lin Xuan to hold it with both hands.
Lin Xuan looked at the dark red sword that was covered in rust, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Although he liked the look of the sword, it was too old. Many parts of it were covered in rust, and it was obvious that it was an antique.
"This is the treasure you gave me?" Lin Xuan asked worriedly. "It won't break the moment I use it, right?"
"Humph, it won't break even if you try!" Lord Alcohol snorted. "I originally wanted to give you this sword when you were stronger. It's too much of a stretch to give it to you now."
Lin Xuan was indignant. "What do you mean by 'too much'?" He walked forward and reached out to grab the hilt.
Comfortable, extremely comfortable! Lin Xuan didn't want to let go of the sword the moment he held it. It felt like he was holding the hand of a goddess, and it was extremely comfortable.
Exerting some strength, Lin Xuan prepared to pull out the dark red sword and use it to practice the Lightning Eclipse Sword Art.
However, the dark red sword didn't budge at all.
"Humph!" Lord Alcohol snorted and said faintly, "You are indeed too young …"
Lin Xuan's face darkened. He exerted some strength, but it still didn't budge.
He was stunned as he let out a low growl and used all his strength. Finally, the dark red sword slowly rose and left the ground.
"Damn, it's so heavy. What material is it made of?" Lin Xuan couldn't help but curse.
"Not bad. To be able to lift it with just the strength of your muscles, it looks like you are stronger than I imagined," Lord Alcohol said without holding back.
Lin Xuan's face darkened. He finally knew why Lord Alcohol said it was too much of a stretch. He circulated the Longevity Art as blue spirit energy pulsed out. A surge of energy surged out of his body.
His arms finally stopped trembling, but with the support of his spirit energy, he still felt extremely heavy. Lin Xuan tried to swing it twice and realized that his spirit energy was being depleted very quickly.
Clang!
Lin Xuan stabbed the dark red sword into the ground and stood upright with it in hand.
"Uncle Alcohol, are you deliberately pranking me? How can I use the Lightning Eclipse Sword Art with this sword?"
Lord Alcohol took a sip of wine. "You'll get used to it. Besides, conquering it will definitely bring you unexpected benefits. Think about it. If you can wield such a heavy sword like an embroidery needle, how strong will you be? "
Lin Xuan obviously knew that he was just saying a few words. From the moment he held the sword, he fell in love with it.
"In the future, I will walk down the path of martial arts with you!" Lin Xuan whispered. "I'll call you Red Flame."
He injected blue spirit energy into the sword. The next moment, the rust on the sword suddenly shimmered with a red glow. Strange runes could be vaguely seen, making it look extremely mysterious.
