"When another batch of water fireflies matures, we will be able to steadily enter the mid-stage realm of foundation building."

After Lu Xuan digested the increased cultivation of more than twenty years, he felt that the dantian was full of spiritual liquid, and he had an intuition that he was about to touch a new realm.

From noticing that the cultivation reward brought by the Spirit Firefly Grass had decreased sharply, and starting to improve its variety, to obtaining the second-grade Water Firefly Grass, Lu Xuan had obtained no less than forty years of cultivation rewards.

But because his roots and bones are too ordinary, there is still a glimmer of distance from breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building.

With his talent, he is definitely among the bottom in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

For those gifted geniuses in the sect, it generally takes one or two decades to break through from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage, and those with true inheritance-level talents are more likely to be able to break through in less than ten years.

If Lu Xuan is dedicated to penance, I am afraid that he may not be able to succeed in breaking through in fifty years.

Fortunately, the existence of the light group has greatly shortened the talent gap between each other, and there is even a tendency to strike later.

Since he began to plant fireflies, to the new batch, it has only been three or four years, and the middle stage of foundation building is only a stone's throw away.

"Farming makes people progress, and I love farming."

Lu Xuan looked at the spiritual plants all over the mountains and fields, and smiled and blossomed.

The remaining thirty or so firefly grasses, he did not use the source qi of the green wood to ripen them, let them grow naturally, and then used them to condense the spirit seed after they matured.

"Thirty-five water fireflies, you should be able to get no less than one hundred and fifty spirit seeds, which is enough, no matter how much spiritual power you have, it will be difficult to support the needs of spirit plants."

Lu Xuan returned to the house with a full reward of light clusters.

"Senior Brother Lu Xuan, are you there?"

After resting for half a day, a low voice came from outside the rune array.

"Yes."

Lu Xuan hurriedly came to the foot of the mountain, opened the streamer rune array, and saw a middle-aged monk with a Chinese character face and a serious expression standing straight in front of the formation.

His spiritual sense swept slightly, and he noticed that the middle-aged monk's cultivation was no less than in the middle stage of foundation building, and his expression suddenly became much more solemn.

"I don't know what to call Senior Brother? What's the important thing to find Lu? ”

"Senior Brother Lu can call me Senior Brother Huang."

"This time, I want to give you a task to my junior brother, and it has been several years since my junior brother was promoted to an inner disciple, and it is time to complete the task of stationing the sect."

"The sect's garrison mission? Please also let the senior brother know in detail. ”

Lu Xuan's heart tightened, and he said respectfully.

"That's right, this is the obligation that every foundation building disciple should fulfill."

"The sect has many stations in various places in the cultivation world, which are used to collect resources, guard dangerous places, guard loose cultivation, etc., most of which need to be garrisoned by foundation building monks to suppress some young people, so as not to damage the interests of the sect."

"Senior Brother Huang, can I not choose this sect garrison mission? Or for a few more decades or hundreds of years. ”

Lu Xuan asked tentatively.

"Senior Brother Lu doesn't work like this, the garrison task is generally handed over to the inner disciples who have entered the sect for a few years, after all, it is completely sufficient in the early stage of foundation building, and it is a bit wasteful to use the words of the same sect in the middle stage of foundation building."

"If the junior brother doesn't want to go, it may cause the senior brother of the Discipline Hall to come over to solve the problem, and maybe he will be punished for it."

The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth twitched, although he rarely went out and didn't communicate much with his fellow disciples, he also knew the reputation of the Discipline Hall, and once they came, he would at least have to shed his skin.

"What are the general penalties?"

He still had a trace of luck in his heart, if he only punished spirit stones or sword marks, it was not unacceptable, spending money to eliminate the disaster.

The middle-aged monk's words made his heart cold and cold.

"Disobeying the instructions of the sect is generally punished by ten years of confinement, and you are not allowed to go out for ten years, and you will still be forced to complete the task after the end of the day."

"Ten years of confinement?"

Lu Xuan shook his head, if it was really closed for ten years, most of the spirit plants on the mountain peak would almost wither after their ripe flowers and fruits.

"Senior Brother Lu doesn't have to be so resistant, the sect won't let you waste a few years of hard work in vain."

"During the garrison, there is at least three hundred sword seals per year, and the garrison places are generally small families, scattered cultivation, almost no risk, and it is rare to hear that a fellow sect has lost their lives because of this."

Seeing that Lu Xuan was a little reluctant, the middle-aged monk explained.

"Three hundred sword seals a year? In other words, you can get at least three fourth-grade spirit seeds. ”

Since he couldn't refuse, Lu Xuan could only accept it, but fortunately, the number of subsidized sword seals did not disappoint him.

"Please also ask Senior Brother to give me the details of the location where I can go to garrison."

"Okay."

The middle-aged monk nodded.

"At present, there are three places for you to choose from, Senior Brother Lu."

"The first one needs to be arrived in three months, a scattered city that produces several rare ores, less than a thousand miles from the Falling Nightmare Mountains, and can subsidize three hundred sword seals every year."

"Although the number of sword seals is the smallest, because it is located near the Falling Nightmare Mountain Range, there are many secret realms around, and demon beasts often haunt it, so it is more popular, and there are other inner disciples competing for this opportunity."

"The second place is located in Xuanyin City, where many large forces are distributed, and the sect has the right to speak in the city, and it needs to arrive within a month."

"Xuanyin City is more than a thousand miles away from the Extreme Yin Sect, and it is easy to encounter evil cultivators, and it is the first choice for those who want to hone their combat abilities."

"Because of the higher danger, there will be more subsidized sword marks, three hundred and sixty sword marks per year."

"What about the last one?"

Lu Xuan frowned and asked, he was not very satisfied with these two garrison locations, one was close to the Falling Nightmare Mountain Range, and the other was not far from the Extreme Yin Sect, which seemed to have a lot of risks.

"The last one is located near the Boundless Sea, a large island, which produces some special spiritual objects, sea fish and sea beasts, and some rare spiritual grasses."

"Legend has it that on the surrounding islands, you can occasionally find rare spiritual liquids."

"But there are not many opportunities there, and it can't achieve the purpose of tempering itself, and it is located in a bitter cold place, so it is usually semi-compulsory to entrust an inner disciple to go over, and the number of sword seals subsidized every year is three hundred and twenty."

"Specialty sea fish and sea beasts, rare spirit grass, and it is possible to find spiritual liquid?"

"The most important thing is that there is no secret realm, and the cultivators of the Yin Poison Sect mean that the security is more reliable."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Senior Brother Huang, then I'll choose the island near the Boundless Sea."

"I'm from a casual cultivation background, I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of tiredness, and I asked my senior brother to let me go to the island to exercise for a few years."

Lu Xuan said to the middle-aged monk with a sincere face.

It's safe, reliable and risk-free, and you can also see all kinds of sea beast spirit grass, and at the same time, it is possible to find the spiritual liquid that can cultivate dragon skeleton grass, where can you find such a good errand?

"Senior Brother Lu, are you sure?"

The middle-aged monk asked with some doubts, it was really that there were too few inner disciples who usually chose that island, and they all wanted to stay away from the bitter cold island, and Lu Xuan made him a little uncomfortable like this.

They all want to find an opportunity, eliminate the demon and defend the road, how can anyone take the initiative to get closer to the island of bitter cold.

"OK, OK, OK."

Lu Xuan hurriedly responded.
