Chapter 1130: True Essence Mystic Gourd
Chapter 1130: True Essence Mystic Gourd
"An Eighth Rank Spirit Seed?!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Xuan's face, and his interest piqued.
"That's right. I obtained this gourd spirit seed from an elder, intending to trade it for the Crossing Calamity Flower in your possession, Junior Brother."
The refined scholar cultivator waved his hand, and a mysterious spirit seed slowly floated towards Lu Xuan.
Watching the spirit seed drifting away, Lu Xuan's face contorted in pain.
To obtain the Crossing Calamity Flower, a precious Incarnation Spirit Herb, he had paid a hefty price, even going as far as to owe a favor to an elder of the Sword Sect. In return, he had acquired this unknown Eighth Rank Spirit Seed.
The light blue spirit seed was surrounded by faint spiritual energy, which underwent various mysterious changes, perfectly harmonizing with the world.
"Junior Brother, you can examine it carefully. Judging from its vitality, it is indeed an Eighth Rank seed."
The refined scholar cultivator spoke in a deep voice.
"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoists," Lu Xuan said, bowing to the group.
He held the spirit seed in his hand and casually set up a restriction to prevent others from prying. The deep black cloth bag hanging at his waist, where his Nascent Soul was located, stirred slightly, emitting a faint yellow spiritual light.
Soon, a thin layer of Gen Kun Wu Earth appeared on his palm, and the gourd spirit seed was planted in the spirit soil.
Focusing his mind on it, he instantly gained detailed information about the spirit seed.
[True Essence Mystic Gourd, an Eighth Rank Spirit Plant, cultivated with rich and pure spiritual energy and spirit soil, and nourished by the cultivator's spiritual power, can produce a mysterious gourd filled with abundant True Essence. After a million years, it can grow into a Postnatal Spirit Root.]
[True Essence is a special transformation of spiritual power, containing numerous mysterious changes that resonate with the power of heaven and earth. After absorbing and refining it, one can effortlessly draw upon infinite heavenly spiritual power with every movement.]
"Indeed, it's an Eighth Rank Spirit Plant!"
Lu Xuan's expression remained calm, but his heart was filled with joy.
So far, he only had two items of Eighth Rank or higher: the Nine True Spirit Leaves entrusted to him by the Artifact Spirit Elder, and the Void-Nourishing Immortal Vine with its vitality lost, obtained from the Ancient Sword Drake.
The Nine True Spirit Leaves, after receiving four types of True Spirit Essence Blood, had been cultivated for some years. As for the Void-Nourishing Immortal Vine, once it regained its vitality in the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk and was further nurtured by the Green Emperor Immortal Leaf, it wouldn't be long before it could be formally cultivated.
"It's still an age-based spirit plant, and after a million years, it can grow into a Postnatal Spirit Root."
Lu Xuan marveled inwardly.
As he cultivated higher-ranked spirit plants, he noticed a significant increase in the likelihood of age-based spirit plants appearing among them.
"That's good. At a certain stage, I can harvest light orbs as a reward."
"As for the million years it takes to grow into a Postnatal Spirit Root, it sounds intimidating, but this time frame is relative."
"In a regular spiritual land, like the Thunder Star Cave, it might take that long. But in the inner sect of the Cave Profound Sword Sect, it might take less than half the time to grow into a Postnatal Spirit Root."
"If placed in a refined incomplete heavenly cavern, along with the Divine Wood Green Vase, Primordial Tree Essence, Wood Spirit Juice, and other treasures that accelerate growth, the time required can be significantly reduced."
"I can add another gourd spirit plant to my spirit field."
Without hesitation, he made his decision.
After cultivating spirit plants for over a century, he had planted various gourd spirit plants, including the third-rank sword-nurturing gourd, the improved small Cave Profound Sword Gourd, and the sixth-rank Gui Water Gourd.
"Brother Huang, I am willing to trade treasures with you, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan transmitted his voice.
"The gourd spirit seed is indeed an Eighth Rank, but I cannot ascertain its specific variety. As for the cultivation method and the effects of the spirit plant, I know even less. Therefore, its value should be slightly discounted."
"The Crossing Calamity Flower is a rare Incarnation Spirit Herb. How about a direct exchange of treasures without any additional conditions? What do you think, Senior Brother?"
"His words were sincere and earnest."
To the refined scholar cultivator, these words were not false in the slightest. After all, that Nascent Soul old ancestor had obtained the spirit seed many years ago, yet he didn't know its origins, let alone Lu Xuan, who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?
Moreover, there was a significant difference in value between spirit seeds and mature spirit medicines. Additionally, the Crossing Calamity Flower was a rare Incarnation Spirit Herb, and all these factors were enough to make up for the gap between the two's ranks.
"Alright, then I'll agree with you, Junior Brother."
To avoid complications, he didn't haggle further and readily agreed.
Lu Xuan glanced around.
"Apologies, fellow Daoists, this Crossing Calamity Flower has already been claimed by someone else, exchanged for an eighth-grade spirit seed."
"I am a Spirit Plant Master, obsessed with various high-grade and rare spirit seeds.
Before the auction began, I had already stated that I would be willing to exchange high-grade spirit seeds, seed condensation techniques, and corresponding items for treasures in the auction. I hope you can all understand."
"No problem."
Several fellow Sword Sect disciples immediately responded, and the other cultivators didn't have much to say either.
After all, the rules were set by Lu Xuan, and more importantly, they didn't have any treasures that could match the eighth-grade spirit seed, so they had no choice but to give up reluctantly.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Lu."
After obtaining the Crossing Calamity Flower, the refined scholar cultivator was overjoyed and smiled as he transmitted his voice.
"It's I who should be grateful to Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan spoke sincerely.
Having obtained the True Essence Mystic Gourd, a rare eighth-grade spirit seed, he was extremely satisfied.
"Alright, let's continue with the auction."
"The third seventh-grade treasure is called the Positive-Negative Binding Spirit Bag."
As soon as he finished speaking, a plump cloth bag appeared before everyone's eyes.
The bag was the size of a palm, and its surface was adorned with countless patterns of demon beasts and spirit monsters, vividly depicted as if they were struggling and changing, seemingly bound tightly by the bag.
"This Positive-Negative Binding Spirit Bag has a unique function. It has a strange effect on demon beasts and the demon race, capable of instantly sealing sixth-grade and below demon beasts and spirit monsters, making them obedient. It also has a certain probability of sealing and restraining seventh-grade ones, but I must clarify that there's a chance of backlash onto the treasure's owner if the sealing fails."
"Additionally, this treasure has an extremely powerful restraining effect on the demon race. After sealing them inside, it can reveal their true forms, suppress their bloodline power, and greatly reduce their strength."
Lu Xuan continued his enthusiastic introduction.
Before the auction began, he hesitated repeatedly but finally decided to include the Positive-Negative Binding Spirit Bag on the inventory list.
Although the Positive-Negative Binding Spirit Bag had a powerful function, it was quite specific, targeting only demon beasts and the demon race. Since he rarely ventured outside, keeping it would be a waste.
More importantly, he had a better treasure for restraining, the Five Thunder Immortal Binding Bracelet, which was more powerful and had a broader range of uses.
"The starting bid for the Positive-Negative Binding Spirit Bag is two million low-grade spirit stones, and each subsequent bid must be at least ten thousand."
"The bidding begins!"
"Two million and five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. This treasure is mine! Anyone who dares to compete with me is challenging me!"
A fierce voice came from Bai Yin, a demon king from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"Two million and eight hundred thousand."
"What a grand display from the White Yin Demon King!"
Elder Li Xuanchen of the Sword Palace chuckled lightly.
"If it's a fair competition, I can still lower my bid a little."
"But since you said that, I'll have to see it through to the end to avoid tarnishing the reputation of my Sword Sect. If outsiders find out that we were intimidated by a small demon king, they might think that our Sword Sect is weak."
Just as Lu Xuan was about to say something polite to ease the tense atmosphere, he suddenly heard Li Xuanchen's voice in his ear.
"Junior Brother Lu, I'll take care of this for you, and you'll owe me a big favor in the future."
