The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1410 - 1407: Spirit Awakening Grass!

Chapter 1410: Chapter 1407: Spirit Awakening Grass!

Half a day later, Lin Bai had refined all the Demon Blood on the ground, and his body emitted a burst of multicolored light.

"Second Level of the Yin Saint Realm!"

Lin Bai opened his eyes, his face full of surprise as he spoke.

"Indeed, the Hanhai Demon Kingdom is my blessed land! If I were in the Litian Dynasty, I wouldn’t know how many Territories I’d have to traverse just to slay as many Demon Beasts as I have today!"

"Yet, in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, in just a single night, the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect have slaughtered close to five thousand Demon Beasts. Although their states were not high, the massive influx of Demon Blood still allowed me to break through to the Second Level of the Yin Saint Realm."

A joy that Lin Bai could not hide spread across his face.

In the alien territory of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, the higher Lin Bai’s strength, the better his chances of survival!

"Unfortunately, I feel that to break through to the Third Level of the Yin Saint Realm, the power required from the Demon Blood would be at least several times greater than what I have now. To attempt reaching the Third Level of the Yin Saint might not be so simple."

Lin Bai took a deep breath.

He consolidated his Cultivation for a moment and then picked a stalk of Spirit Awakening Grass from the Spirit Field, preparing to refine it.

"Something’s not right, this Spirit Awakening Grass doesn’t seem ripe yet!"

A flash of Spiritual Light sparked in Lin Bai’s mind as he frowned in thought.

Digging out all the Dan Dao Memories from his mind, Lin Bai reviewed every bit of information about the Spirit Awakening Grass in his head!

"Spirit Awakening Grass has three stages!"

"The first stage, when it’s a seedling, consuming it at this time would awaken a Demon Beast with the Spiritual Wisdom of an eight-year-old child!"

"The second stage, at this point, consumption would awaken the Spiritual Wisdom of a fifteen-year-old youth!"

"The third stage, when it has matured, matured Spirit Awakening Grass emits seven-colored radiance. When a Demon Beast consumes it, it can awaken a level of Spiritual Wisdom completely equivalent to that of a human being!"

After Lin Bai reviewed all the information about Spirit Awakening Grass in his mind, he finally understood.

"Heh heh, in the Great Demon’s Pill Path Memory, with his ability, the Spirit Awakening Grass he bought was always fully matured, so he didn’t know that Spirit Awakening Grass had three different stages!"

"And these three stages were recorded in an Ancient Book of Spiritual Medicine I saw in the Creation Divine Palace!"

Lin Bai couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"Now that I compare these three stages, the Spirit Awakening Grass I currently hold should be close to the third stage!"

Lin Bai carefully examined the Spirit Awakening Grass, noticing faint traces of dim seven-colored light flickering on it, but it was not bright, clearly indicating that the Spirit Awakening Grass was nearly mature.

"According to the records on the Spirit Medicine Classics of the Creation Divine Palace, the second and third stages of Spirit Awakening Grass are at most four months apart."

"And right now, this Spirit Awakening Grass should be about three months away from being fully matured!"

"The fully matured Spirit Awakening Grass, if used to refine Enlightenment Liquid, I expect the effect will be even better."

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, contemplating silently in his heart.

"But since I have already calculated the maturity date of the Spirit Awakening Grass, the White Snake Clan must also be counting on this date."

"Once the Spirit Awakening Grass has matured, the White Snake Clan will surely come to gather it!"

"By then, these Spirit Awakening Grasses will be taken away by other people..."

Thinking up to here, Lin Bai’s face became solemn, his gaze slightly colder, "I need to figure out a way to get more Spirit Awakening Grass, but more importantly, how do I snatch the Spirit Awakening Grass from the White Snake Clan?"

With a gloomy face, Lin Bai took out an Elixir Furnace, tossed the Spirit Awakening Grass into it, and began to refine Enlightenment Liquid.

Half a day later, after consuming the Enlightenment Liquid again, Lin Bai felt the pulsing of his Realm of Comprehension Cultivation and sensed the faint signs of being on the verge of a breakthrough.

"It’s still too little. If I can refine over a thousand stalks of Spirit Awakening Grass into Enlightenment Liquid, my Realm of Comprehension Cultivation could likely break through to the Middle Stage."

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, his gaze scorching as he looked at the Spirit Awakening Grass in this place.

If not for the fact that Lin Bai was still constrained by the White Snake Clan, he might have dug up all this Spirit Awakening Grass right now.

But if Lin Bai were to dig up a large amount of Spirit Awakening Grass now, when the masters of the White Snake Clan come later, they would surely become suspicious, and then all the blame would likely fall on Lin Bai and the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

That was something Lin Bai did not want to see happen.

"It seems that acquiring the Spirit Awakening Grass will require long-term planning," Lin Bai said, his eyes cold and piercing as he stared directly at the one hundred thousand stalks of Spirit Awakening Grass, his pupils slowly filling with ruthless determination.

At that moment, Jing Shu came down and said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, night has fallen."

Lin Bai turned around and walked out of the cave, returning to the platform. He looked at the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and said, "Fellow senior and junior brothers, let’s begin, begin the slaughter of tonight!"

"Good!"

The disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect answered vigorously with high morale and poured into the mountain range.

Lin Bai followed suit.

Jing Shu once again picked up the Magic Circle Compass, starting to lock onto the demon beasts on the compass!

Soon, the mountain range was filled with the sounds of earth-shaking swordlight dancing and the roar of beasts breaking through the clouds!

Within thousands of miles around Fairy Cave Mountain, everything trembled.

Just as Lin Bai had said, he planned to turn the area for thousands of miles around Fairy Cave Mountain into a Demon Beast slaughterhouse, into a Shura Field!

And Lin Bai, along with the seventy-one disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, had done it!

Within thousands of miles around Fairy Cave Mountain, there was nearly not a single living demon beast!

After one night passed and dawn arrived, all the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect returned to the platform to rest.

And Lin Bai, once again taking all the Demon Blood, went back into the cave to begin refining it!

This time, Lin Bai did not break through to the Third Level of the Yin Saint Realm!

"Not breaking through is normal too, having just broken through to the Second Level of the Yin Saint Realm, it’s understandable not to have made another breakthrough," Lin Bai said with a smile as he stood up and once again reached for another stalk of Spirit Awakening Grass!

But at this moment, Lin Bai suddenly grew curious, "Why is planting Spirit Awakening Grass so difficult? Why can it only thrive here?"

"Could it be that this soil has something to do with it?"

Lin Bai stared at the soil used for planting the Spirit Awakening Grass, his eyes intensifying.

He grabbed a handful of the soil and observed it carefully in his hand.

At this time, Nie Xiong, Zhuo Lian, Jing Shu, and Luo Xuan came down and saw Lin Bai holding the soil and looking at it carefully, and they couldn’t help but smile to themselves.

Nie Xiong laughed and said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, you seem interested in soil. When we get back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, I’ll give you a few pieces of land—all soil, for you to enjoy every day."

"Hahaha."

Nie Xiong and Jing Shu both smiled slightly.

With a wry smile, Lin Bai said, "I’m just very curious why only this place can grow the Spirit Awakening Grass!"

"According to what Bai Zhan said, this spot was found by the White Snake Clan only after great effort!"

"Why only here?"

"The Hanhai Demon Kingdom is so vast, why can only this spot grow Spirit Awakening Grass?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Nie Xiong shook his head bitterly and said, "Alas, my family sent me to learn Alchemy, and it’s been a headache, I tell you. As an alchemist, I have to remember pill recipes, remember spiritual medicines, their planting methods, and also sell the herbs - just thinking about it gives me a headache!"

"It’s better to cultivate Sword Art—just a man and his sword, cutting through the Ninth Heaven!"

Hearing Nie Xiong’s words, Lin Bai smiled faintly, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. "The method of planting spiritual medicines..."

Lin Bai hurriedly concentrated and summoned the method of planting Spirit Awakening Grass from his mind.

In the Dan Dao Memories of the Great Demon, it was recorded: "To plant Spirit Awakening Grass, either the location must be a naturally blessed Sacred Land for growing spiritual herbs, or beneath this Earth, there lies a... Creation Spiritual Vein!"

Crack—

As Lin Bai recalled this information, he was stunned as if struck by Five Thunders.

"Creation Spiritual Vein..." Lin Bai murmured to himself, eyes brimming with shock.
