Chapter 173 - Reward
Saying this, Lu Xuan took the lead at once, stepping into the formation.
Both the rabbit and Ming Yueyao followed behind him closely, taking care to follow his footsteps with the utmost precision.
They had to be careful because if their feet landed in the wrong place, they would be attacked by the sword qi straight away.
Previously, an army tens of thousands of men strong had been buried in this sword formation, so none of them dared to underestimate it.
This was especially so for the rabbit. As a monster native to these lands, it was naturally even more aware of how terrifying this sword formation was.
There was no shortage of kings of monsters, which had lost their lives here, and it was thanks to the sheer number of kings of monsters that had died trying that they knew the initial steps to enter the formation. What was safe and what was not safe had been slowly uncovered by the kings of monsters in Shennongjia.
To its surprise, however, the path that Lu Xuan was taking was actually the correct one. The many kings of monsters in Shennongjia had paid an enormous price to glean this knowledge of the way in, and Lu Xuan was now taking the exact same route.
Just by observing it for a period of time, Lu Xuan had actually seen through the many mysteries of this sword formation.
As for Lu Xuan, he also picked out a pill and swallowed it. He could feel the medicinal power of this half-finished alkahestry pill suddenly turn into a torrential flow, spreading throughout Lu Xuan’s entire body.
However, it only took a moment for Lu Xuan to completely digest it, and it also allowed him to successfully improve his skills.
Needless to say, Ming Yueyao and the rabbit did not have Lu Xuan’s speed and were still doing their best to digest the medicinal effects of the alkahestry pill.
Lu Xuan kept the rest of the alkahestry pills. These pills might be the help they direly needed, but for him, it could only be considered a nice bonus.
Lu Xuan continued his investigation of the cave abode. Aside from the extremely spartan living area, Lu Xuan quickly found the core that was controlling the entire sword formation.
On a stone pedestal deep within the cave abode, a sword jade was floating in mid-air. This sword jade was controlling the entire sword formation on the outside.
To be more precise, the sword formation was actually engraved on the sword jade. As long as spirit qi was continuously supplied to it, the sword jade could continue to sustain the sword formation.
If the sword jade was removed, the entire sword formation would be removed along with it by Lu Xuan.
“A pretty good reward!”
Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Inside this cave abode of a legendary swordsman, he had found the core sword jade controlling the sword formation, as well as an alkahestry cauldron, some half-finished alkahestry pills, and skill manuals for swordsmanship.
It was a pretty good reward, which would be quite beneficial for raising Lu Xuan’s abilities!
It would strengthen Lu Xuan’s foundations!
Following this, Lu Xuan put the sword jade into his pocket, and the moment he removed it, the sword formation in the air above Shennongjia immediately vanished without a trace.
One day later, the rabbit and Ming Yueyao had finally emerged one after the other from their cultivation state.
