Chapter 256: Wood Infant

"This Spirit Herb does have a bit of an eerie nature to it. I wonder how Brother plans to trade for it?" Lu Chen's heart stirred, but his expression remained calm as he asked the short and stout elder.

"What if I trade it directly for the Cloud Mountain Jade Catalog in your hands?" The stout elder asked tentatively.

"Brother, that doesn't seem very appropriate, does it?" Lu Chen replied.

"Your Blood Sphere Spirit Herb is unknown in terms of grade and variety, while the Cloud Mountain Jade Catalog in my hands is an extremely rare fourth-grade treasure. I believe Brother is also clear about its value.

It is a superior protective artifact against evil spirits, and when inscribed with exorcism talismans, it can also inflict great damage on evil spirits. To trade it for a Spirit Herb that is full of unknowns may result in a complete loss."

"Then what does Brother think is fair..."

"The Blood Sphere Spirit Herb plus a thousand spirit stones in exchange for the Cloud Mountain Jade Catalog," Lu Chen proposed boldly.

"Absolutely not!" The stout cultivator's face showed a hint of annoyance.

"Although we don't know the exact grade and variety of this Blood Sphere Spirit Herb, just by looking at its appearance, one can tell that it is extraordinary. It far surpasses ordinary third and fourth-grade Spirit Herbs."

"Brother even dares to ask for an additional thousand spirit stones. It's a bit unreasonable to be so demanding among fellow sect members."

"Ah..." Lu Chen sighed.

"Brother, I admit that this Blood Sphere Spirit Herb looks rather peculiar, and just by getting close to it, one can feel the restlessness of one's own blood."

"However, Brother, you are also aware that Spirit Herbs, especially high-grade ones, have all sorts of peculiar requirements when it comes to cultivation. If these requirements are not met, it will not only slow down their growth but may also cause them to wither and die."

"If I were to acquire this eerie Spirit Herb from Brother and failed to cultivate it due to not knowing the proper methods, it would likely be a wasted effort."

"It's just that I have always been fond of collecting various Spirit Herbs and trying to cultivate all sorts of peculiar Spirit Herbs. That's why I'm willing to take the risk and sincerely want to trade for Brother's Blood Sphere Spirit Herb." Lu Chen's tone was downcast, fully portraying himself as a pure Spirit Herb cultivator who would go to any lengths for his passion.

He completely forgot about his ability to sense the immediate state of Spirit Herbs and his knowledge of various cultivation methods.

The stout elder was moved by Lu Chen's words and softened his tone.

"What Brother said is true. Cultivating this eerie Spirit Herb will indeed put you at some risk."

"How about we meet each other halfway? I'll trade the Spirit Herb and 500 spirit stones for the Cloud Mountain Jade Catalog in your hands. What do you say?"

"Alright, then I won't haggle further." Lu Chen readily agreed.

"I wish Brother Lu every success in cultivating this Blood Sphere Spirit Herb." The two concluded their trade, and the stout elder sincerely offered his well-wishes.

"Thank you, Brother, for your kind words," Lu Chen replied with a bow.

After the stout elder left, Lu Chen kept an eye on the stage while pondering the trade he had just made.

With his years of rich planting experience and his ability to sense the vitality and mystical qualities of Spirit Herbs, Lu Chen deduced that the Blood Sphere Spirit Herb was most likely a fourth or even fifth-grade Spirit Herb.

He had essentially obtained a Cloud Mountain Jade Catalog for free from the light sphere and now traded it for a fourth or fifth-grade Spirit Herb, plus 500 spirit stones.

A small profit indeed.

Soon after, a female cultivator with an icy demeanor took the stage. She was at the mid-Qi Condensation stage and seemed unaccustomed to the fiery cultivation environment of Fire Lion. A thin layer of frost appeared around her, isolating the fire-attributed spiritual energy.

"I offer a Demon of Unity, wood-attributed, from the Golden Core True Man. I seek a third or fourth-grade magical artifact or pill." As soon as she finished speaking, a sinister infant appeared before her.

The infant's body was bound by a deep blue rune chain, its azure spirit light flickering in and out of visibility, securely restraining the infant within.

"Here it comes!"

Lu Chen straightened in his seat, carefully examining the bizarre infant.

This was indeed the Heteroheart Demon refined by Tong Yin, the Demon Heart cultivator from the Extremely Yin Sect. From its appearance, it seemed to be a Wood Spirit Demon Infant, one of the Five Elements.

One of his primary goals in attending this auction was to acquire a Heteroheart Demon and see if it could be used to nurture the Sacred Infant Fruit in the Sword Sect's courtyard.

Although the Wood Infant was an evil entity, it was nonetheless refined by a Foundation Establishment Demon cultivator, which held great appeal for many of the Core Formation cultivators present.

However, due to its origins, the bids were not exceptionally high.

For these cultivators, acquiring this Wood Heteroheart Demon was merely for research and experimentation, to uncover any secrets it might hold.

Alternatively, they might sell it to a Demon sect like the Extremely Yin Sect after leaving the sect, but they were unlikely to use it themselves.

At least, that was the official stance.

After all, the Sect's Discipline Hall wasn't idling, and if they were found using such an item, they would have a hard time explaining their actions.

The icy female cultivator, as cold as frost, gave a brief introduction of the Heteroheart Demon before falling silent, occasionally shaking her head slightly to indicate her dissatisfaction with the bids.

Just as she was about to take back the Wood Infant and leave the stage, a voice as fine as a mosquito's buzz reached her ears.

"Senior Martial Sister, I have a high-quality Sword-Nurturing Gourd and a third-grade Blazing Pearl. I'd like to trade them for your Wood Heteroheart Demon, including the rune chain."

The female cultivator's eyes lit up.

The offer was slightly below her expected price, but it was far better than the bids she had received so far.

This Heteroheart Demon held little value for her, and selling it to a Demon cultivator or consigning it to an organization like Wanbao Lounge after leaving the sect would be too much trouble.

The Sword-Nurturing Gourd was well-known within the sect; the gourd could brew and stimulate invisible sword qi, and its offensive capabilities were comparable to those of a third-grade magical artifact. However, due to the difficulty in cultivating it, it was quite rare.

And a high-quality Sword-Nurturing Gourd was even more exceptional.

Coupled with a third-grade Blazing Flame Pearl, which could unleash a wide-range Blazing Flame technique, it was a tempting offer.

Her thoughts raced, and she turned towards the source of the voice.

"Accepted."

After the female cultivator left the stage, Lu Chen approached her. He took out a mottled green gourd and a red stone pearl from his storage bag and handed them over.

The female cultivator examined them briefly before nodding in satisfaction and passing the Wood Infant and the rune chain to Lu Chen.

"Junior Martial Brother, this rune chain is just a small item I refined on a whim to restrain this Wood Heteroheart Demon. I'll now teach you how to control it."

After explaining the method of control, she added, "Remember, if I don't continuously refine this rune chain, it can only maintain its effect for a limited time. In about three months, it may no longer be able to bind this evil infant, so please be cautious."

"Thank you, Senior Martial Sister, for the reminder," Lu Chen replied.
