Chapter 507: Chapter 505 – Causing a Sensation, Waiting for the Highest Bid_1
After receiving the spirit stones and spirit milk, Lu Xuan left, leaving a veiled threat to the stall owner.
With this hefty compensation, his mood greatly improved. His previous frustration at being snatched away from the stone coffin and buying a fake spirit seed instantly vanished.
He was not worried about the stall owner reporting him.
If the stall owner had the courage to expose his own extortion, it would only result in self-damaging consequences. Without Lu Xuan even lifting a finger, the Duobao Tower and the many deceived cultivators would leave him with deep memories.
As for the stall owner possibly giving him trouble after the treasure meeting, he was even less concerned.
He actually felt that the spirit stones he had received were not enough!
“To those fellow daoists who were deceived, I can only apologize. Consider these two thousand plus spirit stones as a lesson!”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
As a righteous path cultivator, he felt a bit of justice, but not much.
If he was to make up for the losses of those strangers or even possible evil cultivators, he would have to earn fewer spirit stones. It would also be troublesome to find everyone one by one, so it was better to enrich his own pockets.
Back in his room, he took out the small pale green bottle.
He carefully opened the bottle, revealing half a bottle of pure white spirit milk. It was extremely condensed and rich in life force, refreshing to the senses upon inhalation.
“This thousand-year-old Mysterious Life Spirit Milk is like a pearl covered in dust in the stall owner’s hands. He only knew how to use it to forge fake spirit seeds.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
“It can be used to enhance the vitality of spirit seeds, perfect for nourishing those improved spirit seeds. Unfortunately, the quantity of spirit milk is limited, so it can only be used for a while.”
He stored the pale green bottle in his gluttonous insect pouch.
“Coming to this treasure meeting was indeed an incredibly right decision.”
“Digesting the vast rewards of the light clusters, I got over thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, and got around twenty thousand spirit stones from a kind-hearted cultivator after an expense of a few thousand. I still earned more than fifty thousand.”
“Besides, I also got a five viscera treasure plant, evil envoy flesh, demon beast corpse, and thousand-year-old spirit milk. The spoils are plentiful.”
Lu Xuan was assessing his gains and losses from this period in his mind.
“I’ve always been the one looking for unknown spirit seeds and treasures. Now, it’s time to set up a stall and wait for spirit seeds to come to me.”
He decided to put the Saint Baby Pill and the White Bone Demon Puppet on the shelves and exchange for the farming resources he needed.
Although the White Bone Demon Puppet had varied forms, its attack power was relatively weak, and it no longer had a place amongst Lu Xuan’s treasures.
As for the Saint Baby Pill, while it was a fifth-rank item and could slightly increase the chance of making a core formation breakthrough, it wasn’t of much use to Lu Xuan at his current stage.
He had just advanced to the late-term of foundation establishment, and although he had cultivation rewards from the light clusters, he was still some years away from breaking through to core formation. It was naturally better to be able to exchange for high-ranked spirit seeds.
Moreover, there was a Holy Baby Fruit Mother Tree and two offspring plants in the Underworld Court. Once matured, he wouldn’t lack Saint Baby Pills. Plus, due to its peculiar origin, Lu Xuan was worried that taking it might have negative effects, so he didn’t have a strong intention to keep it for personal use.
He made up his mind and the next day, he found a Deacon from Duobao Tower, submitted some spirit stones and got a stall license.
He placed the Saint Baby Pill, White Bone Demon Puppet, and the remaining Vitality Pill on his stall while he closed his eyes to rest.
For this open stall, in order to command more authority, Lu Xuan did not hide his cultivation level, showing his late-term Foundation Establishment cultivation level.
With the Thousand Masks to change his appearance and aura, and the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe to shield from spiritual sense probes, he was not worried about being recognized by Ge Pu or other colleagues.
All the good spots were already taken, and Lu Xuan’s stall was in a corner. Because there were not many treasures on his stall, the passing cultivators would easily overlook it.
Until an evil cultivator with a strong aura of blood and killing passed by.
He accidentally glanced at the items on Lu Xuan’s stall. He had discerning eyes and recognized the origin of the Vitality Pill at first glance.
Just as he was about to inquire about the price of the Vitality Pill, he suddenly changed the expression on his face, a trace of disbelief appearing in his eyes.
“Fellow Daoist, is this a fifth-rank Saint Baby Pill?”
He sent a message asking Lu Xuan.
“That’s right, fellow Daoist has good eyes.”
Lu Xuan opened his eyes and responded indifferently.
The Blood Devil Cultivator stared intently at the Saint Baby Pill, as if he wanted to see through it.
The Saint Baby Pill was a round ebony color, covered with grey and black spirit lines on its surface. When these spirit lines moved, it was as if countless abnormal baby faces were silently howling. The yin qi was so dense it almost became tangible.
“This is undoubtedly a Saint Baby Pill.”
The Blood Devil Cultivator sighed deeply, an intense urge to snatch this fifth-grade dan medicine welling up within him.
The tiny bit of reason he had left told him that if he acted upon this urge, the multiple Golden Core Real People guarding Duobao Tower would annihilate him in the blink of an eye.
“Fellow cultivator, I can give you twenty-five thousand low-grade spirit stones for this Saint Baby Pill. What do you think?”
The man, his hands covered in fresh blood, tried to muster a kind smile and quietly asked.
Lu Xuan did not speak, simply shaking his head.
“What about exchanging it for the high-quality fourth level magical tool in my hand, plus ten thousand low-grade spirit stones?”
He brought out a flag with countless blood-colored resentful spirits, continuing his inquiries.
“I am not in a hurry to sell this Saint Baby Pill. I hope you understand.”
“If you really want to acquire it, I can let you in on a secret. I am considering exchanging it primarily for a high-rank spirit seed.”
“High-rank spirit seed?”
A trace of ferocity flashed across the Blood Devil Cultivator’s eyes.
“Please keep this Saint Baby Pill for me for half a day. I will bring you a satisfactory spirit seed.”
Leaving those words behind, he transformed into a streak of blood light, disappearing before Lu Xuan’s eyes.
After this Blood Devil Cultivator, there were several well-informed evil cultivators at the Foundation Establishment late-term and Perfect Realm stage who recognized the Saint Baby Pill. They each put forth high offers to buy it outright. However, they were all refused by Lu Xuan for the same reason.
“Want the fifth-rank Saint Baby Pill? Then swap it for a high-rank spirit seed!”
Soon after, news of a fifth-rank Saint Baby Pill appearing in the middle area spread like wildfire.
It instantly set off a commotion in Duobao Tower.
There were not many fifth-rank treasures at this Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting. Whenever one appeared, numerous cultivators would scramble for it, buying it at the first opportunity.
The interest in the fifth-rank Saint Baby Pill was even greater.
This was a top-notch treasure that could enhance the odds of breaking through to the Core Formation stage!
In the path of cultivation, the further up you go, the more difficult it becomes. Those who break through to the Core Formation (Nascent Soul) stage are like a single hair from nine oxen.
Amongst the cultivators present, there were many at the late Foundation Establishment stage and Perfect Realm stage. All of them harbored a glimmer of hope for breaking through to the Core Formation stage, and held a strong desire for treasures like the Saint Baby Pill.
The appearance of one such pill naturally drew waves of cultivators.
Lu Xuan saw Brother Ge and an emaciated elder who snatched the Mysterious Stone Coffin away from him.
Among the cultivators who came, the asking prices became higher and higher, even causing Lu Xuan to be moved at times.
However, he remained principled in order to get the maximum benefit, clearly stating that he prioritizes high-rank spirit seeds.
“Friends, such love for this Saint Baby Pill makes me uneasy. My requirements remain the same – I prioritize high-rank spirit seeds.”
“If any of you are interested, you may leave for now. If you find a suitable spirit seed, please return to discuss the price.”
Lu Xuan looked at the increasing number of cultivators gathering in front of his stall, saluted with his hands, and spoke.
“Alright, then I ask you to hold on to the pill, I will bring a high-rank spirit seed that you will be satisfied with soon!”
“Fellow Daoist, are you really not considering spirit stones? I can increase my offer by ten percent, and you can buy the high-rank spirit seed you want after.”
Lu Xuan shook his head. The high-rank spirit seeds were rare and unpredictable. Getting one as soon as possible was best.
When everyone saw that his mind was made up, they dispersed and tried to find information about the existence of high-rank spirit seeds.
