“This spiritual seed does indeed have some strange characteristics. How does Brother wish to trade?”

Despite the turmoil in Lu Xuan’s heart, his expression did not change at all; he calmly asked the short, plump old man.

“How about trading it directly for the Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet in your hand,

Brother?”

The short plump older man asked tentatively.

“Brother, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”

“The Blood Ball Seed you have, regardless of its rank or species, remains unknown. While the Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet I have is a fairly rare fourth-grade treasure, which I’m sure Brother is well aware of its value.

It is a superior protective magical weapon against demon envoys. After etching exorcising runes, it can cause great harm to demon envoys. If replaced with an unknown seed from Brother, it’s highly likely I’d lose everything.”

“So, Brother thinks…”

“Trade the Blood Ball Seed and a thousand spirit stones for a Cloud Mountain

Jade Tablet.”

Lu Xuan stated his terms boldly.

“Absolutely impossible!”

Annoyance appeared on the chubby cultivator’s face.

“Although the specific rank and species of this Blood Ball Seed is unknown, just by looking at its appearance, one can tell its extraordinary nature, which can not be compared to common third or fourth-grade spiritual seeds.”

“And you even absurdly demand I add a thousand spirit stones. Such behavior among fellow disciples is somewhat reprehensible.”

“Ah…”

Lu Xuan sighed.

“Brother, I do admit that the Blood Ball Seed seems rather peculiar. Just being near it, one can feel the blood in their body simmer.”

“However, as you are also aware, spirit plants, especially high-grade spirit plants, have all sorts of strange and quirky requirements during cultivation. If those requirements aren’t met, not only would their growth retard, they could also wilt and die.”

“If I were to obtain this peculiar spiritual seed from you, without knowing its cultivation methods, I could potentially lose it for nothing.” “It’s just that I’ve always been fond of collecting various spiritual seeds, trying to cultivate all kinds of weird spiritual plants. Therefore, I’m taking the risk, earnestly wishing to trade for the Blood Ball Seed in your hand.” Lu Xuan spoke in a dejected tone, portraying himself as someone willing to risk everything for spirit plants, and carrying forth his identity as a Spirit Plant Master through and through.

He completely disregarded the fact that he could grasp the state of spirit plants in real-time and had every cultivation method at his fingertips.

The short, plump old man, seeing this, was affected by Lu Xuan’s words and actions, and his tone softened a bit.

“Brother’s statement is not false, growing this peculiar spiritual seed will indeed put you at some risk.”

“How about this? We each give a little — the spiritual seed plus five hundred spirit stones for the Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet in your hand. How does that sound?”

“Deal, I won’t haggle with Brother.”

Lu Xuan agreed readily.

“I hope that Brother Lu will successfully cultivate this Blood Ball Seed.” After the exchange, the chubby old man spoke sincerely.

“Brother’s auspicious words are very much appreciated.” Lu Xuan cupped his

hands in response.

After the chubby old man left, Lu Xuan, while keeping an eye on the stage,

contemplated the trade.

With his years of rich planting experience and his ability to sense the vitality and oddities of the spiritual seeds, it was highly likely that the Blood Ball Seed was a fourth, or even a fifth-grade spirit plant.

A Cloud Mountain Jade Tablet, that he had effortlessly gotten out of a light cluster, in exchange for a fourth or fifth-grade spiritual seed, and an additional

five hundred spirit stones.

He made a slight profit.

After a moment, a female cultivator as cold as ice walked onto the stage. The woman with her mid-stage cultivation in Foundation Establishment seemed somewhat ill-adapted to the cultivation environment here, conjuring a thin layer of frost around her that isolated the fire spirit qi.

” exchanging a Same-heart Demon from a Golden Core Real Person, which is of the wood element, for a third or fourth grade magical artifact or elixirs.” The moment the words fell, a sinister infant appeared before the female cultivator.

The infant had the body of a two-year-old child, its whole body in shades of cyan-gray, a green face with prominent teeth, its facial features resembling an old tree bark, and from its torso, limbs and other places extended slender, dark cyan branches that swam in the air like water-plants.

In its navel, there was a dark, round hole, from which faces of resentful spirits of children would emerge from time to time, silently shrieking in pain. The resentment soared into the sky, a sign of the unknown tortures it had underwent before death.

A deep blue Rune Chain was wrapped around the infant’s body, its azure spiritual light flickering on and off, firmly binding the infant within.

“It’s here!”

Lu Xuan sat straight up, scrutinizing the eerie infant.

This was the Same-heart Demon that the Golden Core demon master, Tong Yin, of the Extremely Yin Sect had refined. From the outside, it should be a Wood Infant among the Five Elements.

One of his main objectives of this trip was to acquire a Same-heart Demon and see if it could be used to nurture the Holy Baby Fruit in the small courtyard of

Sword Gate Town.

Although the Wood Infant was considered an evil existence, it was still personally refined by a Golden Core Real Person, and thus had quite some appeal to many Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

However, due to its origin, the offered prices were not very high.

For them, buying this wood-element Same-heart Demon, was merely for research and experimentation, hoping to comprehend something from it.

Or after leaving their sect, to sell it at a high price to Evil Cultivators belonging to the Extremely Yin Sect, and there was really no actual use for it.

At least, it was so on the surface.

After all, the Sect Discipline Hall wasn’t there to kill time. If they really wanted to use it for themselves, they wouldn’t be able to clear themselves once discovered.

After the female cultivator, who was as cold as frost, briefly introduced the Same-heart Demon, she fell silent, merely shaking her head from time to time, obviously dissatisfied with the prices mentioned by the cultivators below.

Just as she was about to put away the wood infant and retreat, a soft voice, like a mosquito’s, reached her ear.

“Sister, I have a Good Quality Sword Nurturing Gourd, plus a Third Rank Explosion Beads Treasure. How about exchanging them for your wood-element Same-heart Demon and that Rune Chain?”

The female cultivator’s eyes lit up.

The price offered by the cultivator behind the voice was slightly lower than her expected price, but compared with the quotes by the previous cultivators, it was already very good.

There was little use in keeping this Same-heart Demon, and selling it to the Evil Cultivator after leaving the sect, or consigning it to an organization like Wanbao Building, was too much trouble.

The Sword Nurturing Gourd was quite famous within the sect. The gourd can brew and stimulate Invisible Sword Qi, and its attack ability was comparable to a Third Rank Magical Weapon but due to its high cultivation difficulty, it was quite rare.

It was needless to say about a Good Quality Sword Nurturing Gourd.

In addition, there was a Third Rank Explosion Bead, which can release a wide range attack, the Explosion Technique.

With a turn of her thoughts, she looked towards the direction where the voice came from.

“Agreed.”

After the female cultivator walked down the stage, Lu Xuan proactively approached her.

He took out an aged and mottled gourd, and a red gem bead from his storage bag, and handed them to the female cultivator.

The female cultivator inspected them briefly, nodded in satisfaction, and handed the wood infant along with the Rune Chain to Lu Xuan.

“Junior Brother, this Rune Chain is just a small object I casually made to confine this wood-element Same-heart Demon. I will now teach you its control

method.”

After the female cultivator finished speaking, she transmitted a message to Lu Xuan on how to control the Rune Chain.

In the end, she didn’t forget to remind him.

“If the Rune Chain doesn’t keep getting sacrificed by me, it will only last for a period of time. About three months later, it may no longer be able to confine this Evil Infant, Junior Brother, please keep this in mind.”

“Thankyou for the reminder, Sister.”

Lu Xuan replied.
