Chapter 457: Chapter 455 Yin Cry Wood_1
The two moved to a secluded part of the hall.
Lu Xuan took out a light red lotus seed from his storage bag. The seed emitted a faint fiery red spiritual power, which quietly burned the surrounding turbid aura to nothingness.
“Indeed, it is the Lotus Seed of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus.”
The gentle female cultivator said with delight.
She held a seven-colored spiritual seed in her hand. The seed was about the size of her thumb, gleaming and flowing with hues, and it had an inexplicable attraction to Lu Xuan’s spirit.
“Junior brother, this is the Spirit Seed of the Seven Emotions Bean.”
Lu Xuan took the seven-colored spiritual seed, and after the female cultivator left, he carefully examined it.
“Seven Emotions Bean, this is the first time I’ve heard of such a spiritual species.”
He felt a touch of sentimentality in his heart. He had leafed through all the scriptures in the Scripture Treasury Pavilion, but he had never seen any records about this Seven Emotions Bean, which demonstrated the rarity of this spiritual plant.
Its rank is fourth grade, and given its rare and special quality, it will surely open up a generous light cluster reward.
A burst of joy rose in his heart.
“Hm?”
Just as he was about to put the Spirit Seed of the Seven Emotions Bean into his storage bag, that joy disappeared instantly, and his heart was as calm as an ancient well.
Lu Xuan furrowed his brows slightly, looking at the spiritual seed in his hand, a thought stirred in his heart, and a sense of anger suddenly grew.
No sooner had the thought arisen than the anger disappeared in the same instant.
“This Seven Emotions Bean is indeed unusual, it seems to be able to absorb the emotions around it and use them for its own benefit.”
He thought to himself and put away the spirit seed.
Seeing that the number of fellow disciples who had yet to go on stage was dwindling, Lu Xuan found the right opportunity and jumped onto the stage.
“A stalk of Fourth Grade Illusion Sound Bamboo, a Fourth Grade Sword Talisman, and one Lotus Seed of the Four-Grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus. I’d like to exchange them with my fellow disciples for rare fourth level or higher spiritual seeds, or spirit beasts that have yet to form a pact such as young beasts and eggs.”
In front of him, the Illusion Sound Bamboo, Roaring Sea Sword Charm, and the Lotus Seed of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus were bobbing up and down.
With the Mirage Sound Pearl he had obtained from the light cluster, the Illusion Sound Bamboo seemed somewhat superfluous. As for the sword talisman and the Lotus Seed of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus, he still had quite a number of them. If he could trade them for a desirable spirit seed, he wouldn’t mind spending some.
However, the people below the stage had a different view.
The instant they saw these three items, their spirits were attracted.
The Illusion Sound Bamboo could be used to refine strange sound wave apparatus, the sword talisman was one of the best offensive treasures among those of the same grade, and the Lotus Seed of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus could resist the invasion of demon envoys and purify the impurities within one’s body.
The three treasures were of high value to everyone present, and all wanted to claim them.
Even several true disciples were somewhat moved.
“Junior Brother Lu, how about I exchange a Fourth-Grade Flying Sword for your Lotus Seed of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus?”
A Foundation Establishment Perfect old man transmitted a message to Lu Xuan.
“I’m sorry, senior brother, I only need spiritual seeds and young beasts.”
Lu Xuan politely declined.
Just joking— in his hand, he already had Wind-Thunder Sword, Thunder Sound Sword, the Nebula Sword Array, a mysterious emerald green small sword, and various fourth-grade sword grasses that were being cultivated. How could he covet a fourth-grade flying sword?
“Senior brother, I have a few third-grade spiritual seeds in my hand. I would like to exchange them for the fourth-grade Sword Talisman in your hand.”
Lu Xuan glanced over the spiritual seeds in the fellow disciple’s hand, finding that all of them were ordinary types, which could be obtained at the Agricultural Department Hall. His interest immediately dissipated.
With a Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base maintaining ordinary-grade three spiritual plants, the light cluster reward would now begin to be affected. Unless he could obtain the fixed treasure required by Lu Xuan, he didn’t care too much about planting.
Quite a few cultivators wanted to exchange the three treasures in Lu Xuan’s hands, but no one could offer him what he needed.
Most of them wanted to exchange magic artifacts, elixirs, or cultivation techniques with Lu Xuan. A small number of cultivators with spiritual seeds offered seeds that were not up to expectations.
Lu Xuan waited for a moment, seeing no one offering what he needed and had to silently step down, waiting for the next free exchange phase.
After all the Sky Sword Sect cultivators displayed their treasures on stage, they quickly entered the free exchange phase.
Those who were unable to successfully exchange their preferred treasures would pull a third or even a fourth party for communication and strive to achieve a relatively satisfactory result.
Just as Lu Xuan was going to inquire about a fourth-grade demon beast corpse he had his eye on previously, a voice like a mosquito whispering came to his ear.
“Junior Brother Lu, I am Bai Feiyu. I have a spirit seed in my hand. There’s a high probability that it’s a fifth rank, but the exact variety is unknown. I obtained it a while ago from an evil cultivator.”
“The spirit seed looks rather peculiar, so I didn’t take it out when I was under the public eye to exchange it with Junior Brother.”
“Would Junior Brother be willing to accept it?”
“A fifth grade unknown strange spiritual seed? I want it!”
Lu Xuan yelled in his heart.
A fifth-grade spirit seed was an unexpected windfall. How could he miss it just because the seed was peculiar?
Thinking this in his heart, he showed a complex expression on his face with an appropriate mix of concern and curiosity.
“A peculiar spiritual seed? I rarely come across such spiritual plants and I don’t know the cultivation method.”
“But, I am extremely curious and I can’t resist the urge to try cultivating high-grade spiritual plants.”
“Brother Bai, I want to get the spirit seed and try cultivating it.”
He transmitted this to Bai Feiyu who was looking over from a distance.
“Your passion for cultivating spiritual plants really amazed me, Brother Bai. No wonder you were able to independently figure out the Swordgrass Seed Condensation Method at such a young age.”
Bai Feiyu was surprised by Lu Xuan’s fanatic pursuit of spiritual plants. Even though he did not know about the kind of spiritual plant and the cultivation method, he was willing to pay a heavy price to try it out.
The two came to a secluded corner, and Bai Feiyu casually laid down a powerful restriction. Only he and Lu Xuan were inside the restriction, and outsiders could not see or sense the situation inside the restriction.
“Here is the peculiar spirit seed.”
He took out a pale spiritual seed. The patterns on the surface of the spiritual seed were like faces of resentful spirits, constantly revealing themselves, causing the surrounding to be filled with an eerie wind.
Inside was a phantom of a grey-black tree, completely made up of countless yin soul resentments. They were packed densely, creating an uncomfortable feeling for anyone who saw it.
Lu Xuan sensed the vitality of the spirit seed a little, confirming that Bai Feiyu was telling the truth. The spiritual seed was basically a five-quality spirit plant.
Under normal circumstances, the three fourth-grade treasures he had could not be exchanged for a fifth-order spiritual species. However, since the type of spiritual species was unknown, and the three treasures were distinctive and practical, Bai Feiyu willingly exchanged them for the three treasures including the Illusion Sound Bamboo.
After the exchange meeting, Lu Xuan returned to his cave with satisfaction, found a blank spirit field, performed the Earth Pulling Technique, and a tiny crack appeared in the spirit soil. He planted the pale spirit seed in it.
He took a deep breath and focused his mind on the spirit seed.
“[Yin Cry Wood, a fifth rank spirit plant, the plant is made up of countless yin soul resentments. During the growth process, it feeds on resentful spirits. Spending a long time near the plant will subject one to constant yin wind attacks, affecting the constitution.]”
“[After maturing, the Yin Cry Wood can be used to refine special magical instruments such as the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and it is also the main ingredient for refining five-rank soul pills.]”
“[Listen, the crying sound of resentful spirits!]”
“It really is a fifth-grade spirit plant! And it’s another peculiar species. The Underworld Court gains another formidable member!”
Lu Xuan exclaimed.
