Chapter 508: Chapter 506: Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Wood_1
Lu Xuan ignored the many cultivators who had been drawn by the Saint Baby Pill, leaving them to prepare and went back to the rest area on his own.
On the way, his spiritual sense, far stronger than the average cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Late-term phase, keenly perceived various energies barely perceptible on his body.
Fortunately, he had a fifth-grade magical artifact, the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe, that concealed his aura and blocked spiritual sense explorations, so he did not expose anything.
Taking into account the privacy of the customers attending the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting, the rest area had many prohibitions. Upon entering, all prying eyes disappeared without a trace.
“Selling the fifth-grade Saint Baby Pill with my current cultivation level is somewhat reckless.”
Lu Xuan returned to his room, mulling this over in his mind.
However, he was willing to take this little risk to obtain high-grade spirit seeds through this opportunity.
Also, he had great trust in the powerful entities hosting the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting and believed they could ensure the safety of the customers and that no killing for treasures would happen.
At the same time, he had considerable confidence in his own strength. With numerous fifth-rank treasures and dozens of powerful fourth-grade sword talismans, he would at least have the power to fight a Golden Core Real Person, ensuring he could retreat safely.
Finally, even though the Saint Baby Pill was a fifth-grade elixir, it mainly targeted practitioners in the late or perfect stage of Foundation Establishment. For a Golden Core Real Person, it was not very useful, so he didn’t need to worry about interference from Golden Core Real Persons of the Duobao Tower.
The only uncertainty was that it might arouse the suspicion of Ge Pu.
After all, he had revealed information about the Saint Baby Pill to him and proposed the requirement for high-grade spirit seeds first, but Lu Xuan couldn’t consider those for now.
The need for spirit seeds is common, and he had hidden his cultivation level and changed his appearance, leaving little room for suspicion.
Also, in his daily life within the sect, he had consistently portrayed himself as a mediocre cultivator, not good at one-on-one duels, and rarely went out to explore secret lands. Nobody would think that he would possess a treasure like the fifth-grade Saint Baby Pill.
Considering that Lu Xuan had once helped Ge Pu with his Ancient Yin-Yang Koi Fish, even if he had doubts, it would not affect anything.
After deliberating, Lu Xuan rested in the room.
In less than an hour, Ge Pu sent a Communication Talisman.
Lu Xuan had already secretly changed back to his original appearance after entering the rest area, so he was not worried about being exposed.
He pulled the talisman towards him and activated it with spiritual power.
“Junior Brother Lu, the inside information you got was indeed correct. A Saint Baby Pill has indeed appeared.”
“However, the cultivator with the pill wants high-grade spirit seeds, which I don’t have. I don’t know if you have any high-grade spirit seeds. If you do, lend them to me first and I’ll reward you later.”
The corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth curled up slightly.
“He came to borrow seeds from me.”
He shook his head, took out a Communication Talisman, and input:
“Brother Ge, I’ve heard about the Saint Baby Pill, but unfortunately, I don’t have any rare spirit seeds on hand. I couldn’t resist planting them as soon as I got them.”
“So, I’m really powerless to help, and all I can do is say sorry to you.”
After brushing Ge Pu off, Lu Xuan took a good rest for the night and went to the middle area of the Duobao Tower the next day.
Already, more than a dozen cultivators had been waiting for a while, the least of them being a Foundation Establishment Late-term Cultivator, and more than half were in the Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm.
“Friend, you’re finally here.”
“We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded at everyone, displaying the Saint Baby Pill and the White Bone Demon Puppet, among others.
As soon as they saw the Saint Baby Pill, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they stepped forward almost unanimously.
In the midst of the whistling sound,
Several cultivators rushed over very quickly and surrounded Lu Xuan’s booth.
“Fellow Daoists, don’t rush.”
Lu Xuan spoke in a deep voice.
“Let me reiterate the trading method for the Saint Baby Pill, priority consideration will be given to high-rank Spirit Seeds, Fifth Rank and above would be the best.”
“Of course, if you don’t have any Spirit Seeds, I also don’t mind using Spirit Stones, or same-level Artifacts and Treasures.”
“You can transmit your offers to me. After I have considered them, I will trade with the offerer who satisfies me most.”
Lu Xuan briefly explained and then stood in front of the stall, waiting for everyone’s bids.
“Daoist, I have three Fourth Grade Spirit Seeds, all are rare varieties in the Cultivation World, plus fifteen thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, how about exchanging for your Saint Baby Pill?”
“Fellow Daoist, I have two Fourth Grade Spirit Seeds here, and also the Method of Seed Condensation of one of the Spirit Plants. Consider my offer.”
“Fellow Daoist…”
Subtle voices were passing into Lu Xuan’s ears.
Lu Xuan was evaluating each cultivator’s offer in his mind.
High-rank Spirit Seeds were indeed rare. Among the bidders, the majority were bidding Fourth Grade Spirit Seeds.
Among them, one cultivator’s Method of Fourth Grade Condensing Seed sparked Lu Xuan’s interest and he included it in his list of considerations.
“Daoist, I have an unidentifiable Spirit Seed, judging by its life force, it should not be less than Fifth Rank. Do you want to take a look?”
A cold female voice reached Lu Xuan’s ears.
Lu Xuan was interested and looked towards the direction of the voice.
A female cultivator with a frost-white complexion stood quietly in a corner. She was at the Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm. A red cloth covered her pupils, and Lu Xuan noticed a faint red light coming from the cloth.
Seeing Lu Xuan looking over, the female cultivator nodded slightly, opened her palm, and revealed the Spirit Seed inside.
The Spirit Seed was dark and covered in countless micro-lights. Upon closer examination, the lights appeared like irregular soul fragments that seemed ready to absorb Lu Xuan’s soul.
Lu Xuan had learnt his lesson from the fake seed he had bought earlier and had the Demonic Vines shrink themselves and stay inside his sleeve.
The Demonic Vine lightly tapped Lu Xuan’s arm, and the thoughts transmitted to him revealed its longing for this Spirit Seed.
“Indeed a high-rank Spirit Seed.”
With the confirmation from the Demonic Vine, Lu Xuan’s interest was piqued.
“Fellow Daoist.”
As he was still undecided, a familiar voice reached Lu Xuan’s ears.
“I have a Sixth Grade Spirit Seed here, it is Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Wood. Once grown, it can be used to refine magical treasures capable of Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Light. It can also assist in the cultivation of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light Divine Skill.”
The voice was none other than Ge Pu. He somehow obtained a Sixth Grade Spirit Seed, and it clearly showed his determination to get the Saint Baby Pill when he made his offer.
“Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Wood? Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant.”
Lu Xuan’s heart was excited, he calmed his elated emotions.
“Fellow Daoist, a Sixth Grade Spirit Seed for my Fifth Rank elixir?”
“Correct, I hope that you can assist.”
Ge Pu spoke calmly, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.
He failed to find a high-rank Spirit Seed and had no choice but to seek a Core Formation cultivator from Duobao Tower. Eventually, he purchased it from one of them at a high price. Even being a disciple of a Great Sect, it did hurt his finances.
However, compared to elixirs of the same level, the price of Spirit Seeds was much lower. Given the rarity of the Saint Baby Pill and his own urgent need, he didn’t mind the slight premium.
