More than ten pharmacy attendants were diligently processing various spiritual plants, among them, a thin old man stood out.

At first glance, they looked like twenty small flying swords, but upon closer inspection, their differences could be felt.
The second-grade sword grass spirit seeds were gray-black and slender like swords.
With this in mind, Shen Ye looked at Lu Xuan with increasingly appreciative eyes.
The cultivation of Firefly Grass was on a different level of difficulty compared to other plants of the same rank; it required meeting two conditions.
Firstly, a swordsman who had profound attainments in a certain sword technique would use sword qi day and night to stimulate and nurture the Firefly Grass.
