Chapter 455: Seven-Heart Bean
Chapter 455: Seven-Heart Bean
The middle-aged cultivator's fourth-grade Coldbone Sword sparked interest from many cultivators below the stage.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was famous in the cultivation world for its swords, and there were countless sword-type magical artifacts. However, a fourth-grade flying sword was not commonly seen. The Sword Hall only provided a limited number of fourth-grade sword grasses to a select few sect cultivators.
Furthermore, this Coldbone Sword was of exceptional quality, causing several people in the audience to scramble for it.
In the end, it was traded by a female cultivator in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment for a fourth-grade defensive artifact.
The fourth-grade flying sword set a positive tone for the exchange, and the proceedings became lively and enthusiastic.
Lu Chen sat quietly in a corner, observing the dazzling array of treasures on the stage, each more captivating than the last.
Despite the abundance of treasures, only a few piqued his interest.
His primary goal in attending this event was to acquire spirit seeds, young spirit herbs, young demonic beasts, and demonic eggs, as these represented rewarding orbs of light.
Of course, he was also interested in condensation techniques, but he didn't expect to find extremely valuable condensation methods at such an event. It would be more efficient to obtain them directly from the Sword Hall or the Agriculture Temple.
Additionally, on his wish list were various types of rare and effective spirit soil, high-grade demonic beast corpses that could be utilized in their entirety, fourth-grade and above strange fires that could nurture the Phoenix Tree, and Buddhist artifacts suitable for the King Kong Bodhi.
He had little interest in the other treasures.
The rewards offered by the orbs of light had already left him extremely satisfied.
Just then, his attention was drawn to a magical artifact held by a burly cultivator on the stage.
The artifact appeared to be forged from bronze, with one end featuring a sharp blade that exuded a chilling aura, appearing exceptionally sharp. The other end had Buddhist statues on its four sides, each depicting different emotions—peace and harmony, or rage and fury.
"This artifact is called the Demon Suppression Spike, a Buddhist artifact of the fourth grade that I obtained by chance. It contains pure and powerful Buddhist power and is highly effective against demons and evil spirits."
"I wish to exchange it for an offensive artifact or talisman." The burly cultivator said in a deep voice.
"A Buddhist artifact is indeed a rare sight," someone whispered below the stage.
"I wonder what use it has," said another.
When Lu Chen saw the Demon Suppression Spike, his eyes lit up. This fourth-grade Buddhist artifact was tailor-made for his King Kong Bodhi!
It had been two to three years since he obtained the fifth-grade King Kong Bodhi spirit seed, but due to its unique cultivation conditions, it required various Buddhist powers to nurture and supplement its growth. He had been using the Soul-Luring Zen Incense and the Thunder Sword to barely sustain the spirit seed.
With this fourth-grade pure Buddhist artifact, he could fulfill the growth requirements of the King Kong Bodhi during its early to middle stages.
"Fellow cultivator, I have a fourth-grade sword talisman here," Lu Chen transmitted his voice to the burly cultivator while holding a scarlet talisman in his hand. The center of the talisman depicted a blazing sun, and countless fine sword auras resembled the radiating light, densely packed together.
"A fourth-grade sword talisman?" The burly cultivator's eyes lit up as he scanned the sword talisman in Lu Chen's hand with his spiritual sense.
He hesitated for a moment before transmitting his voice to Lu Chen, "Fellow cultivator, what I have here is a complete fourth-grade artifact. Your sword talisman has limited uses, so our items are not of equal value, are they?"
"That's true, but fellow cultivator, you should be aware that due to the nature of spiritual power, your fourth-grade Buddhist artifact cannot exhibit its full potential within the Heavenly Sword Sect, significantly reducing its value," Lu Chen replied.
The burly cultivator fell silent for a moment, considering Lu Chen's reasonable words and the irresistible temptation of a fourth-grade sword talisman. Without further hesitation, he nodded in agreement.
After they left the stage, the two exchanged their desired items.
Lu Chen felt content. He still had over ten fourth-grade sword talismans, and his newly planted Sword-Nurturing Gourd had entered its maturity phase, promising a rapid increase in the number of sword talismans. To exchange one of these easily obtainable talismans for a fourth-grade Buddhist artifact was a profitable deal.
Whether or not he could use this fourth-grade Demon Suppression Spike didn't matter much to him; it would be excellent for cultivating his fifth-grade King Kong Bodhi.
He remained seated, quietly observing as cultivators took turns presenting their treasures on stage.
During this time, a spirit seed also made an appearance, but it was of low grade and an ordinary variety that could be easily obtained from the Agriculture Temple, so Lu Chen didn't bother bidding for it.
Soon after, a cultivator with a gentle temperament and graceful figure ascended the stage.
"Fellow sect members, I have a rare spirit seed called the Seven-Heart Bean. After it matures, it can assist in cultivating certain emotion-suppressing cultivation techniques, helping cultivators enter a state of focus and blocking out external distractions."
"I wish to exchange this spirit seed for pills, treasures, or spirit herbs that can purify impure spiritual energy and reduce the risk of corruption." The gentle cultivator concluded.
However, her proposal was met with a lukewarm response from the audience.
Most of the Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators present dedicated their time to cultivation and seeking opportunities, and even if they learned a cultivation technique, it would likely fall within the realms of pill refining, artifact forging, or talisman crafting.
While they might attempt to cultivate a spirit seed they acquired, they lacked specialized knowledge in spirit plants, and their interest in rare varieties like the one presented was minimal.
Moreover, the gentle cultivator sought treasures that reduced the risk of corruption, which were items that cultivators would rather keep for themselves than trade for a peculiar spirit seed.
The gentle cultivator surveyed the crowd, seeing no one step forward to make an offer. She sighed softly and was about to leave the stage when a gentle and mild voice reached her ears.
"Senior Martial Sister, I have a Heartfire Lotus Seed that can purify impure energies, cleanse the spiritual energy within one's body, and greatly reduce the risk of corruption by evil influences. Would you be willing to exchange it for your spirit seed?"
The owner of the voice was, of course, Lu Chen, sitting quietly in the corner.
Upon hearing the mention of the rare fourth-grade Seven-Heart Bean spirit seed, he felt an irresistible urge to acquire it.
"I seem to have developed a collecting habit when it comes to spirit seeds," Lu Chen thought to himself. "The rarer and higher the grade, the stronger this urge becomes."
"Even though I already have plenty of spirit herbs in my spirit fields, I can't suppress this desire."
"Heartfire Lotus Seed?" The gentle cultivator's eyes widened in surprise, and her gaze brightened. To be able to exchange it for such a treasure far exceeded her expectations.
"With this, I can finally venture into that secret realm infested with evil influences," she said with a smile, transmitting her voice to Lu Chen.
"I am more than willing," Lu Chen replied.
